I love project management and decision analysis!

I can honestly say that Dr. Christobek is one of the best professors that I have had in all of my years at Ohio State. In class we were given real life applications with the material. He is helpful, respectful, and generally a great professor.

GREAT GUY, CARES ABOUT HIS STUDENTS. EXAMS ARE EASY BUT ITS A LOT TO REMEMBER. TAKE THIS PROFESSOR, YOU'LL DO GREAT!!!

Dr. Mark is a good teacher who is willing to help the students as much as possible. I recommend having him, better than Rhee.

Dr. Mark is always giving of his time and energy but sometime his office hours feel like a three ring circus, great guy and teacher

My favorite teacher so far. Dr. Mark is very helpful and understanding of the students. If enough students think a test was unfair he will curve. In 331 he curves every midterm so that class average is an 80%! I recommend for 330 or 331.

very helpful, cares about his students, keeps things simple, office hours are good, tests are somewhat difficult. take him in the summer when he's easier and more relaxed

He is very easy to understand, and his quizzes and midterms are easier than anything I ever took!

Makes statistical management about as interesting as the class can get.

Great guy that obviously cares about the student. If you study for the tests and attempt to understand the material, it's an easy A. Anybody that complains about this guy's teaching must not have tried very hard because he makes it clear that his main goal in the class is to have everybody get an A.

Exams were tough, took most of the alloted time. but if you studied and did practice you did fine. Got an A in the course doing just that. Go to class, a lot gets explained in there. Really nice guy and very helpful

Great guy. Always trying to help the student. He's very accomodating and his testing is very fair.

I didn't take this cass when he had powerpoint, which is why I probably like it better. He does mess up sometimes but knows what h is doing so he can correct himself. He has TONS of office hours and he's very helpful if you go. Exams are just like the practice exams, so you are never really surprised. The final was pretty long.

very nice during office hours and helps a lot!

There's few professors that you can actually say that you really respect but this guy is awesome! He's just really nice and an all around great guy. Tests are really fair. Go to his office hours with your case study before you turn it in to make sure it's done correctly since they're worth 5 points each on your final grade. Very Recommended

This guy is great. Tests are almost identical to the sample tests he give on Carmen. Boo Steelers.

Even though the class material is RIDICULOUSLY boring, he's effective at getting the point across and helping you learn; study the sample exams and you should do well on the real ones. Extreemly nice and helpful guy.

Great guy all around. Very helpful and approachable. Makes his tests very easy. If you study even a little bit and go to lectures you'll be fine. Curves grades to 80%.

Test: 1st is easy, the rest are medium to hard (straight forward none the less) Case studies: You can work in groups, easy for the most part, just double check your answers. Final: Straightforward, but slightly difficult. Teaching style: Good sense of humor and tells you almost everything you need to know to do any problem. Has a TON of office hrs.

This class was pretty difficult, but if you put a lot of effort into it you can get a good grade. You definitely cannot slack off. His midterms are very similar to the sample exams. The final was tough, and not like the sample exam except for a few questions. Study hard! Christobek is a GREAT guy! He was so nice and so helpful! Tons of office hrs!

I love this guy!!! He is so nice and sweet, and very helpful! This class definitely required some work put forth. The first exam was very easy and the rest were difficult. The final wouldn't have been to bad, but there was a TON of questions asked and not enough time to answer all of them. To succeed in the class you need to go to all the lectures.

Midterms are similar to sample exams and reasonably straight forward. Homeworks are easy at first then must put effort into them. The final was simply one of the toughest tests I've ever taken. Just study for a week for it.

This class is not hard at all. It requires a little bit of studying. If you go to his office and ask him some questions, he'll answer clearly. There is case study assignment, which you can have up to 4 ppl in your group. This class is not hard. good good!

Definitely one of the better professors I've had. A great sense of humor and the class is not too bad. He's very good at teaching.

Attendance is not mandatory, but if you go and take notes it is a very easy class. He is a very helpful prof. Just review your notes and youll do fine.

pretty good teacher, was willing to answer questions and explain things....if you go to class and pay attention you will do fine in here

A good professor. The class is very straight forward and midterms follow practice midterms and in class examples. He makes the case studies pretty easy by going over them in class The only problem was the extremely hard final; about 95% of the class was not done with it and everyone looked scared. But he does curve.

One of the best professors Ive had here. The class is not very hard, especially if you know someone who took it before and can get their practice tests. I had a very high A going into the final, but like everyone else, I didn't finish the final, so I'm hoping for a big curve.

Final was extremely long and difficult. Only a few people seemed to have finished it, and I think maybe they were just throwing in the towel. (update: The final was curved, and in my opinion generously.)

Very good professor. He explains things well and the tests were mostly straightforward as well as curved. The final was too long and difficult, but he curved it by a lot so it did not matter in the end. Recommended.

Very helpful teacher. Attend lectures and skim over the book. Helps you on the case studies. Exams are fairly similar to the practice exams. Final is very difficult, just work on what you know, because you're not going to finish it.

I found that this class was alittle bit more challenging then what everyone made this class out to be. Yes, the class is easy, but he gives no partical credit on midterms, and not so sure on the final. The best way to do well in his class is to look over old midterms, and do the problems out of the book. He is very helpful and understanding.

He makes the class so easy!! Requires much less detail and theory than Schroeder; the tests are all plug-and-chug. Great guy too. DEFINITELY TAKE HIM for 330; Bonnie is terrible!

Amazingly easy class w/ a great professor.

Class was hard, but he is a great teacher. Gives sample exams which are similar to actual tests, but you should probably do the homework too because the practice will help you move faster. I didn't finish the last 2 midterms, I ran out of time.

He's absolutely awesome. There's a reason why his classes fill up so quickly; take it with him if you can.

I went to his office hours a lot when i was confused, which helped me. First midterm is the toughest by far. Had a D in the class after the first exam, and ended up with an A.

He is extremely nice and enjoys what he is doing. He is always willing to help during his office hours. He tries to save the student money - he tells you the book ahead of time so you don't spend tons of money getting it.

The material can be confusing, but you have to go to class and pay attention. He is very helpful during his office hours and likes to get to know the students. You can work together on the case studies and he has review days before every exam. Ask questions if you are confused!

best teacher at fisher so far. will go above and beyond to help, and he's always organized. he posts grades timely and his lectures were very clear and prepared well. amazing class considering the subject can be quite complicated. it's one of the few classes where waking up in the morning isn't a waste of effort!

All you have to do is know everything on the practice exams and then be careful on the real thing. Remember the importance of the case studies because in the end you may need the points; there was no curve and no rounding. A 92.99% is an A-. The course organization is excellent and the frequent exams cause you to retain the information.

had him spring 2008. dr. mark is really good. give 3 practice exams that r just like the real exams. if u go to lecture and do the practice exams gettin an A shouldn't be very hard. case studys can be tricky, but if you ask him at his office hrs he'll tell u the answer. nice easy class, so i'd say take him. has the world's best belly!!!

Gives 3 practice exams for each tests and are almost identical. Sometimes uses exact quetions. Don't blow off case studies bc they can hurt your grade. Go to class bc thats what tests are based on. Very nice and helpful and pretty easy class

No ****, clear as crystal, simple "A", actually interesting enough to learn from, go to lecture, No outside of class reading, minimal studying and work load.

You have to go to every class in order to know how to do the case studies and pass the tests. The tests are exactly like the sample exams. Practice the sample exams as soon as he posts them on Carmen. If you have problems with tests or case studies, go see him or a TA. He is very passionate about this topic and tells good stories.

He gives out 5 practice exams for each exam, if you do them and the case studies you'll get an A. He even gives you the answers for some of the case studies, you just have to make sure you do it right. Honestly, half the time I didn't know what I was figuring out on the exams but I knew how to get the right solution... weird

Very nice guy. Class is very straight forward. Study the practice exams, midterms are almost identical to them. Make sure you take the case studies serious. Will help your grade in the end. Definitely take Dr. Mark!

Class should be easy, but there is no partial credit. If you do all the work and get the wrong answer, it's wrong. Then anything based on that answer? Wrong. I did all the practice tests, and knew what I was doing, but only got a B due to no partial credit. Also staple your papers in the right place. He tells you once in class, if you miss that...

Take him for 331. All you need to get an A is go to class and do the sample exams. Case studies might seem intimidating but he would tell you exactly how to do everything.

Very fair and lets you know exactly what you need to do to get an A. Midterms are exactly like all the practice midterms he puts on Carmen. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Very very easy course, as long as you attend the lecture and do all the sample exams and projects. Teacher is a lil' bit funny and somewhat helpful. Overall, an easy A class

Christobek is by far the best teacher at Fisher. He actually cares about his students and is extremely knowledgeable. if you don't understand something, go to his office hours. He is will help you because he actually wants you to succeed. Practice ALL the exams he puts on carmen and do them over and over until you understand! BEST TEACHER EVER

Dr. Mark is a pretty good guy. He knows his stuff. Class wasn't too difficult. He puts 5-6 practice exams online for each midterm. These help immensely. The final was very difficult though. The course material is organized very clearly in lecture which makes it easy to know what to study. Exams are all long so work quickly. Good professor overall.

Dr. Mark was a pretty good teacher. His notes were very helpful and clear. The exams were not too bad. He puts about 6 exams for each midterm and those help greatly. The final was difficult though and it's long, so work fast.

Professor moves fast through lecture but covers all the material on the exams. Re-reading of notes is required. Lots of sample exams and final is just a cumulative of the first three exams. Must know the material to get through the exams. Office hrs are available from prof and ta's. Professor has no time for lazy students. Good class.

I barely got A because I worked my ass off. Basically, his exams and projects are not hard. It's just about him; he is so picky and random. Talk to him before turning anythin' in. However, he is easier than Bonnie (I guess).

This class isn't too bad if you take the time to do the practice exams. The most work you will do in this class is right before the exam doing the practice exams. Do Them! I found Mr. Christobek not very helpfull when I went to office hours (and yes I am a guy) and he even stormed out of class one time because somebody was reading a newspaper.

Very fast pace class that requires review of notes. Exams are difficult but fair, class is curved if an exam is too difficult, not an easy A but difficult to fail. Nice to students that show effort.

He is very arrogant and talks about himself a lot. having said that, he isnt a bad teacher, although he makes you do most of the work yourself. the tests are way too long and have too much detail, basically you need to get lucky with the material you study. if he is the only one teaching it you can do ok.

He is nice. He explains really clearly in a class. Recommend!

Class is time consuming. Attendance mandatory. Do your best to copy down a picture of everything he shows you when preparing for the case studies because he will show you how to do everything correctly. The exams are long and you must be prepared for everything. I wouldn't recommend getting the book because it was expensive and I didn't use it

Always seemed to care about whether or not his students understood the topics. Lectures get dull at times but definitely go to recitations. Don't be afraid to ask him questions and you'll be fine.

Mark is tough. He does a good job explaining and will help you if you need it, stats is just very comprehensive and he doesn't like BS. Easier than Bonnie though. Go to every class and take good notes on his slides.

The course can be challenging bc you have the read the assigned chapter and take a quiz BEFORE the material is gone over. They aren't easy so if you have questions on the material, make sure you understand it before attempting them. The midterm was challenging but not impossible (haven't taken the final yet). He is a good teacher so pay attention!

Class with Mark isn't too bad, stay on top of the online quizzes and do the homework. If you have a question, speak up bc there is participation. Overall much better than I expected after reading other reviews. He gives a lot of good study tools for the tests.

Follow the class rules and you won't have any problems. The course is fast-paced but the material is not difficult to study and can even be interesting. He is willing to help you prepare for quizzes and with case assignments

Not sure where others were getting this rude vibe from because he was more than willing to work with students. His teaching style can be a bit dry, but he wasn't bad. I do agree about the typos though. The number of clarification emails sent as a result of typos can be a bit annoying.

Professor Christobek always has time and willingness to help. He truly wants that the student understands the subject. His tools for study, such as power points, additional practice exercises and etc. , are extremely helpful. Grading period extremely short and grading criteria clear.I will strongly recommend this class.

He is meant to be in the real world working in industry and not teaching. With that said he tries his best and is a very nice and funny guy. Class itself wasn't that difficult except the final was more difficult than anything else. Takes forever returning grades but other than that I would take another class with him again.

Professor Christobek is by far my favorite professor. Sure, he is tough and expects a lot from students, but if you follow the directions and rules, it's an easy A. You should be prepared to study and ask lots of questions to ensure you understand all the material, but if you do this, you will succeed.
