I took this class online and all the questions are gone over his sessions, which are later posted if you didnt attend... dont buy the book... its a waste....first professor that come across online that actually cares about you learning and getting a good grade!
I'm taking it online now. Fun sessions,long but fun. He's very nice. Easiest class ever.DO NOT BUY THE BOOK. Print or save the notes he provides for each chapter, all questions are from them. 1 question quiz every week, super easy. 3 exams. 1 excel project which took me 5 minutes to complete. There was another project but we didnt do it this summer
Good class and loved this professor. Took online and he makes this class easy if you study what he tells you to. 3 tests and weekly quiz based on question in lecture which he points out. Nice guy and very good professor who cares about his students learning. Will help you as much as you need, he is always available by phone or email to help you.
Best professor in FIU. i've taken him for all the int business classes possible. Don't miss the chance to take a classe with him. easy and clear, great online.
There is really nothing to add to all that's been said already about Professor Melbourne, he is GREAT!!!! If you want a professor that cares, take him.
Excellent professor!!!! He's the best, if you have the opportunity to take his class, please do. I've learned so much from him and his lectures are super fun!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!
Prof. Melbourne is a great teacher. He makes his class simple and easy to understand. Only 1 term-paper,1 small excel project, 2 exams, and a final exam. Including 7 quizes, which each have 1 question per quiz. Book is not required. He provides the pdf chapters. The exams are identicle to the pdf chapters so study them and your set!
No words can truly describe him, he is just GREAT!!!! I would say the best professor at FUI, I have taken 3 classes with him and I would recommend him to anyone. He is the BEST!!!
Prof. Melbourne is awesome! Take him if you get the chance to. He outlines the chapters for you and is always willing to help. Tests are lengthy but cover the exact material he tells you to study.
SIMPLY AMAZING!!!! He is an inspiration, he's funny and even though it's a lot of material to cover, he makes it super easy to learn. He ALWAYS goes the extra mile for his students!!! LOVE THIS CLASS!!!! Highly recommend!!!

Hands down, without question, one of the TOP 3 professors @ FIU. Clear expectations, extremely understanding and respectful to his students, and FUNNY! A good grade is very attainable in his class. Truly doesnt get any better. Good luck finding enrolling in his classes cuz they fill up quick.
Definitely the best professor at FIU

Hands down the best class I've taken at FIU. You have a lot of fun in his class while also learning.
Super sweet and very caring professor. I'm taking the class online, very helpful assignments are not hard. he is funny and makes the lectures interesting and fun! and he really cares about his students. do the adobe quizzes for extra credit! exam reviews are super helpful ! definitely one of the best professors at FIU!! will take his other classes.
The is so wonderful! This classes are very interesting, he makes you laugh and keeps it active. I would definitely have him as a professor, he is the BEST! 3 exams and 1 term project. Do not buy book, exams come from lectures.
best professor at fiu. his online lectures are entertaining and his tests are straight from the lectures and he gives a review session. 1 paper that was super easy, he outlined exactly what you had to do. overall a great professor, I would take him again for any class he teaches.
Greatest Professor I have ever taken. 1) clear about everything that is expected of you. 2) Understanding and caring. 3) Straight to the point but easy going. -- Word of advice, take this professor if you want to learn with ease and get to know a great professor that is down to Earth. Highly Recommended.
He is a extremely nice with his student but you will not learn anything about business in the caribbean. I did not feel a challenge at any point of the class but if you want an easy A here is your class.
Super cool guy, and is very smart on the subject. No quizzes only a midterm and final that he gives an excellent review on. 2 case histories that are very simple and a company profile project that will only take a solid day of work.
Prof Melbourne is one of the best teacher ever, He takes the time to help you and will go over everything if you have any hard time understanding the subject. He is the best teacher here at FIU Way to go Prof. Melbourne. Take Him.
Took this course and Business in Latin America at the same time, and definitely enjoyed this course way more than the other. Great professor, tries to make the lectures enjoyable and not much work for a hybrid course.
Can't say enough of how awesome this professor is! All professors should be like him! Don't be alarmed by 2 case analyses, they're only 500 words max. Gives a ridiculously in depth test review. Gives answers to quizzes during live video lecture. Great teacher, great guy, great personality. I'm taking him again next semester. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!
Prof. Melbourne is incredibly smart, funny, and respectful towards students. His lectures are interesting and relevant, and he is a very fair grader. Also, the exam is straight from lectures, there are no tricks whatsoever. Go to class, pay attention and then attend the review and you will do fine. I hope I could take him again!
Professor is awesome, took two classes with him. This class was kept interesting, we learned about trade. Projects are not difficult, but required. Just two tests that are 65% of your grade, but lectures online to review them. Louis is funny and very enjoyable.
Very chill professor, two case analyses, one group project and two exams online for a hybrid course. No way you can't get an A! Just make sure you go to the exam reviews because that is where he gives you all of the topics to study.
One article analysis, one group project, one exam online, and one exam in class for a hybrid course. No way you can't get an A! Just make sure you go to the exam reviews because that is where he gives you all of the topics to study.
One of the two best professors I have had at FIU! Interesting lectures that make you pay attention and gives great test review
Professor Melbourne, is honestly one of the best professor to take at FIU!!! Two case analysis (he goes over the questions for the case), Midterm, Final, and 1 group project. Overall he is a fun teacher who makes his lectures fun and easy to understand. He is knows his material. I am taking him again in the Spring. I recommend anyone to take him!!!
30% exam 1, 30% online final, 30% group project, 10% two page article analysis paper.... Take any of his classes, he is extremely understanding and his exams are very easy.
In overall, very good professor. Two tests, 7 quizzes 1 question each, one group project, and a video case analysis. He gives a review before every test. Not a tough grader. He gives all the proper materials so you can pass the class with a good grade. Don't buy/rent the text book.
Professor Melbourne is undoubtedly one of the best professors I have had so far! His passion is unmistakable and he is very entertaining. He makes the course engaging and explains way better than the text. He has 3 exams (with very thorough reviews), an excel project, and a term paper. Hes definitely one in a million, take him!!!!!!!!!!
2 exams, Case analysis, Individual Project, 7 quizzes (1 question; based on Adobe Connect sessions you attend/watch later). Didn't use book. After taking him for another course, it is way better in person than fully online. He's funny and caring in person. Material online felt a little unclear at times (esp the project).
2 exams, 2 case analysis, group project. He gives great reviews for the exams, and is very clear with what he expects on the case studies and group project. Highly recommend you attend class when he goes over these. Lectures are always entertaining and he tries to keep the class interested and engaged with funny anecdotes. Great professor!
Professor Melbourne was great! Class consisted of three exams, which he gives crystal clear reviews for, a paper, and an easy excel project. He sets clear expectations for his assignments. As long as you follow the directions, you will get a good grade. Overall, if you study his notes, and do your assignments, you will do well in his class.
This professor is amazing. Class was fun, and he makes the lectures easy to follow. Post the lectures on line and he does amazing reviews for the exams. Definitely a must for this course!
Great professor who makes the class as easy as possible.
Prof. Melbourne is a nice guy and a great teacher! He can be funny at times, however for the most part he is a bit boring. The grade is based on 2 chapter summaries, 2 exams, 3 CMS assignments, and a final. Don't miss the test reviews, they're the best! Take this professor for an easy A!
Professor Melbourne is really helpful in and out of class. He is extremely kind and makes his class interesting and easily understandable. You should expect 3 exams, an essay, and an excel project. Not bad at all. He even provides test reviews. Take him if you want a professor that actually cares about your progress as a student. Good Luck!
GOAT professor. Absolutely the best and most caring professor you will ever take. Replies back to e-mails asap and helps prepare you for tests with the review. do not miss you chance to take his class. I will definitely look forward to taking him again for other classes.
I took him for IB and am taking him now for Trade Policy and Business & MNC. He's great! He really does everything in his power to facilitate you passing. If you do your work and study from his reviews, you'll do great in the class. He's very caring and respectful, and he will go out of his way to help you with anything you need. Highly recommend!
Highly recommended! Dr. Melbourne is an amazing person and great instructor. Good feedback and cares about his students. Inspirational, answers emails, accessible. For me, one of the best!
Melbourne is soooooooooo awesome. He cares immensely about his curriculum and students alike. Gives exam reviews! His passion alone will make you love his class! The Caribbean is also very interesting to learn about so its a win-win situation. LOVE THIS GUY!! Take him :)
Professor Melbourne is amazing! I have taken MAN 3025, MAN 4633, and MAN 4673 with him. There's usually 2 or 3 exams based on the notes he provides the class, 2-3 short writing assignments, and if the class is online he will do 1 question adobe connect quizzes (which he provides the answer to). You won't regret taking him, he's so nice!
I LOVE Professor Melbourne! He is AWESOME! He makes his lectures super interesting, really knows about the topic, and is hilarious. His class is super easy as long as you do the minor assignments. His tests are also clear and easy. Would definitely recommend!
Dr. Melbourne is my favorite professor at FIU and a mentor to me. He is fair and respectful to everyone. His lectures and knowledge about management are inspiring. He met with me during office hours and gave great career and educational advice about pursuing my MBA. Don't miss his exam reviews and his advice about being a parent!
By far the best professor i had at FIU. Amazing lectures and he is pretty funny as well. Gives great test reviews. He is there to help you at all times. If you have the opportunity take his class you will not regret it.
TAKE !! The professor cares about his students. He gives you a very clear review of his tests. There was a total of 2 exams as well as a final and his reviews tell you exactly what you need to study. His lecture are very interesting and he is very passionate about his teachings. Hes very funny and caring and wants all his students to succeed.
He is the best professor I met in FIU. There are one midterm exam worth 35%, and one online final for 35%. Two case analysis for 5% each. After that there is a term project for 20%. He gives a very comprehensive study guide before the exam so the exam is easy. He also teaches you how to finish the project step by step. Absolutely recommend him.
Professor Melbourne is the best professor I have had in all my classes! If you can pick him to take your classes with do it! Grade scale consisted of online Adobe connect quizzes, 2 exams and 3 supplemental readings! If I could take him again I would!
Professor Melbourne is no doubt one of the best and my favorite. Took him for summer B (2019) grading is pretty clear, 2 chapter summaries, 2 exams, 1 final (online), lectures are enjoyable. Just because the class is easy to pass doesn't mean you're not going to do anything at all, its on you to pass it even if its an easy A. Would take him again.
He's a very jovial guy, honestly such a dad. He tries his best to keep class entertaining & make sure that the students are learning. You can tell he really loves his job & he's said that he'll do anything to make sure his students pass. All his exams were online & open notes. Graded on 3 exams & two chapter summaries. He posts the notes too
You must take this professor for MNC Strategy, two tests, zoom quizzes really easy, two discussions and a group project which is no that bad to do it. A guarranted. You won't regret it!
One word: amazinggggg
best professor I've ever had. Extremely respectful and is always giving his best.
His class was hybrid, we only had to go every other week and he did not make attendance mandatory. His lectures were basically him reading all his notes which is what you need for the exams which are all taken on canvas not proctored. One group project you have a lot of time for. Only thing is he will not give you extra time for any assignment.
What a wonderful man. I can't begin to describe how lovable he is. Caring dad energy. I really enjoyed learning with the structure of his class. I can say it was one of the easiest classes I took this semester, but also gives you the opportunity to dive deeper into the topics you're interested in. ABSOLUTELY TAKE HIM!
With all honesty, he's the best professor I've ever taken. It's rare to find a professor so caring and always willing to help. He always comes to class with great energy and says how he's in love with teaching. Will always respect your opinion and make you feel valuable. With his creative teaching ways, you will truly learn a lot! U won't regret it
1 group project, exams are directly from supporting notes and zooms, he provides supporting Zoom every week, super nice, friendly. Taking Dr Melbourne was one of the best choices I took. I advise everybody to do the same. He really cares for teaching and wants to keep improving by taking feedback from students!
AMAZING PROFESSOR! Seriously, if you can take him, do it. He does weekly online zoom meetings( not mandatory) but fun to attend (so do it if you can). He clearly wants all his students to succeed and he's a nice grader. He also does zoom reviews that thoroughly cover his exams (not proctored). He is always here to help you and answers emails fast.
One of the sweetest professors I've ever met at FIU! He truly cares about his students, makes the class interesting, and is always helpful. Assignments are super easy, quizzes are reviewed in class, and attendance isn't mandatory. Super manageable class, don't hesitate to take him!
Prof. Melbourne is great! I took Int. Bus. (Hybrid), Foreign Direct inv. (online), and next semester I'm taking Bus. in the Caribbean (online). His attendance wasn't mandatory, but lectures were very interesting and he cares about his students. His downside is no late work is accepted but if you stay on top of his minimal assignments you'll pass!
Great class, learned a lot and was one of the few classes that didn't overwhelm me with work. 5 mini-quizes, 2 writing assignments and 2 exams. Overall simple and straightforward class. if you need to take an elective for business take this professor.
Very well spoken and caring professor, interesting material and no extremely hard homework or tests. Would take again, participating in the zooms will help understand content a lot, its not mandatory though.
