Prof Blodgett stepped in last minute in spite of our older professor being on med. leave. For the chaos that ensued, Prof Blodgett organized the class incredibly was specific and let students be creative in their findings. Do the work and go to class he is a solid prof. People that complain, usually are the ones who don't participate.

Blodget is a great choice for all BLE 215. Unless he notices half the class is missing, he very rarely takes attendance and the work is not hard at all! All you do is read chapter cases in the book in class and talk about them. 3 exams total and he'll review the whole test the class before so make sure to listen what he says. Overall, easy A.

Blodgett is a character, but a good professor. His humor tends to be dry but because it is, it's funnier. His lectures can sometimes be dry as well, but the case studies make it more interesting to engage in. Blodgett is very laid back and is an easy grader.

Don't even buy the book for this class, all it will do is confuse you. The things he talks about in class have nothing to do with the reading and be prepared to teach yourself.

Straightforward with class content, doesn't stretch the time unnecessarily. Exam reviews are concise, study whatever he mentions and you'll do well. His style is sort of an acquired taste as one can see from the range of reviews; eclectic in his own way but nothing bad or majorly discomforting. Participate and you'll do great in his class!
