if you are comfortable reading the required text and getting zero input from professor how to understand it, then this is your class. Wolf does not teach anything he just expects you to read the text and somehow figure out a way to understand it.. test? his test are equal to four classes worth of writing! good luck to anyone taking his class.

I had professor Wolf for Business Ethics & he made the class enjoyable and eye-opening to current ethical issues today in business. His lectures were insightful. He does a few pop quizzes but they are not graded (more to let you know whether you understood the reading). A few papers & two exams. There is a group project at the end of the semester.

Wonderful teacher, and very enthusiastic about what he teaches. He defines very clearly what you need to do. You do have several opportunities to get a good grade including two test. Both of which are very easy to understand. You do have to read the books otherwise its hard to pass. You also do a few papers and a group project worth a lot.

He allows students to truly have an open discussion. It's easy to find something topic relatable to talk about while in this class. He likes to give you updates from the business world on ethical issues; it really drives home that ethics still needs to be studied and how easily people can lose focus on it once they enter business.

Mr. Wolf was an awesome guy! I really enjoyed the class every day, which says a lot because it was at 9:30am and I'm not a morning person lol. I really learned a lot from his lectures. but since there are two tests and one group project for a grade, most of your overall grade is based on the final group project. Which kind of sucked. So get a good group and you'll do great!
