His Calcopy lecture notes alone aren't detailed enough for you to study for his tests. You have to listen to the extra comments he says. He doesn't give back tests for you to study for the final.

Tests are tricky be sure to use the 3X5 he allows for every test. DO NOT BUY TEXT BOOK. I never opened I just used the Cal Copy. Overall easy class and if you are interested in the subject he gives a lot of real world examples. I recommend him

This is a boring class but Lund does his best to make it interesting. Do not buy the text book because you will not use it once, he just has you buy the CALCOPY which is all you need. I would recommend taking Lund for this class.

Very nice professor. I'm an international student and he was really helpful in the beginning. Gave us all the questions for the final exam. Don't buy the textbook but take his class!

Prof. Lund reminds me of your "avg" grandpa! He's a sweet ol' guy. Four exams w/a notecard and no HMWK. Class can get a little boring & he's a little hard of hearing. He curved one of our tests because a few didn't do too well. Buy the Cal Copy NOT the BOOK! Waste of $$$. I'd take him again whether or not I was a business major.

Worst professor I've ever had. The class seems easy during the lectures but the tests are hard because he uses weird wording that's confusing and there'll be multiple answers that are right so you have to read his mind to get it right. He's a condescending jerk in office hours too. He thinks we're retarded. Screwed up the grades several times.

Professor Lund is an amazing teacher. I'm guessing that the person below me is the kid that made a scene during a test and had to be sent away. This guy loves the subject and makes it an interesting course. Prof Lund helped me out during office hours and pretended like he liked it. Thanks Prof. Don't buy the book, get his cal copy notes.

Best Prof at SDSU. He provided practice problems and solutions so you can practice and do well. He's positive and ethical. I loved his lectures. He's brighter than the material hes covering. I wish he was teaching the Accounting courses....

I was mislead by the reviews on here. Teacher is boring and tests are HARD. There are only 3 of them and no assignments to bring up your grade. We were only given 1hr for the 2nd exam and 3/4 of the class was not even done! There were 40 q's, several computational, and I had to guess for the last 20. Thanks for my 1st F ever! Stay away from him!

I have to agree with prior comment. He seems easy and funny during the lectures... but the wording in his tests are challenging. You don't know exactly what he means on them. He definitely need to be more clear on the questions. DO NOT buy the TB: waste of $$. He doesn't follow it. He is on his way for retirement. Sorry.

If you are a student who does poorly on tests or needs plenty of time to take them then this is not the teacher for you. There is no homework or quizzes or extra credit, only 3 exams. Your grade is solely dependent on those exams. Sure, he lets you use notes, but they can only be on 1 3x5 card. It's not much help and his exams are hard. Good luck!

This teacher is not as easy as everyone says. He is nice to you if you show interest and show up to his office hours, otherwise he won't be fun. Wanted his students to show up to class, but every lecture would consist of 10-15 minutes of him walking around making sure there wasn't anyone feeling "hammered" in class.

I heard from a former student that he used to let you use a page or 2 of notes on the exams. What a difference that would make! A 3x5 card just doesn't cut it! Seriously, his tests are a big shocker for first semester transfer students! If you take him, study your butt off from the beginning and you just might pass.

Very nice man. He genuinely cares about his students. Didn't use the text book at all, although a few test questions came from it. Use the cal copy notes. Tests are a bit difficult, fill up that 3x5! Final was cumulative so don't get too lazy--make sure you study. Going to office hours helps.

Professor Lund is great. He's very smart and concerned with the well being of his students. His lectures can get a little off topic occasionally, but he does a good job at covering all the material. DO NOT buy book, ONLY class notes. Go to class, listen, and write down important formulas on your 3x5 card he lets you use for tests. Take Lund for 302

Lund is a great professor he genuinely cares about the well being of his students. Book is completely useless don't buy it , all he uses is his cal copy notes. 3 exams no homework so you really have to do well and study hard. First test was pretty easy second was extremely difficult, and final is a 100 questions. If you study you should be fine.

Nicest guy in the world! I love how he still uses a metal pointer to point to the slides, cracks me up! Honestly, didn't learn a darn thing from this class because I stopped going after the 3rd class.. sooo boring! Just get the CC Reader and study it, I ended up with a C+ with little to no effort.

Prof Lund is the all-american G-Pa! He is hysterical and he laughs at himself! The class is test based. The 1st is pretty easy, 2nd is tougher, final is the first 2 combined w/ new material and he rewords many of the questions so if you miss a concept you miss like 6 q's! Only get the CalCopy and study a lot for exams. Lund..."and what not" HAHAHA!

Very smart man who cares about his students. I am annoyed at the students who never show up to class and take advantage of his willingness to make notes available via calcopy. He makes operations management as exciting as can be. If you don't get an A in his class and then blame it on him you're a moron.

Lund is one of the nicest professors at State. He is very understanding and genuine. His lectures are straight forward and he legitimately wants you to learn. Tests are not tricky. He lets you know what to expect and if you just read over his lecture slides, you will be fine. If you get a chance, take his class!

Go to lectures and read the Calcopy notes, really gotta understand the material because it's more than just definitions. First two tests were easy, averaged a 96, but detailed nature of last two blindsided many of us. Got a B+. He's harder than people let on but def. not impossible, this from a guy who got an A in Olson's MKTG 370. Really nice man.

Lund will make you laugh. He is a good guy and is a bit quirky. The first two exams are easy but the last 2 are tricky. This material is soooo boring but he tries to liven it up a little when he can. You don't need the book. Just the CalCopy book of the slides. If you put in good effort you can get an A. I did.

I'm sure he was a good teacher at some point, but now he simply checked out. His weekly online quizzes were a disaster. Questions were confusing, his excel templates didn't work with the quizzes and his in class lectures had nothing to do with the weekly quizzes either. He tries to help in class and during office hours...

Weekly quiz's are tough but get in group and flip through book for answers. Sometimes excel problems you have to increase the decimal spaces in the templets to get the right answer. Go to class to get whats on final, allows cheat sheet. Only Final exam that covers everything! Test has only simple math problems. Got a B+ w/out A+ review

Weekly online quizzes by McGraw Hill. Some tough but manageable quiz questions. No in class tests except Final. Lectures were pointless to the quizzes. Final is cumulative and was HARD. Everything he told us to check in class for the final wasn't even on it. Allows a 1 page cheat sheet. Let's late night class out early. Overall, I liked him.

Quizzes also will have questions that are looking for an answer in the BOOK, but teacher will make you buy lecture notes that give you different answers. You might as well not buy these notes--they'll lower your grade!

Not a tough class, but prof. is very unfair. On several occasions professor allowed students to re-take the quiz. On another occasion a student was exempt from taking the final exam. Very unfair with grading and class policies! Ended with an A- but would stay away from prof. in future courses.

Easy class. Must be stupid to fail. Good prof. Wants students to succeed. Emphasizes concept learning in class. 3 tests + cumm. final. Allows TI-83s, cheat sheets, distr. tables. Pools ALL exam Q's from Connect (except NW method). Buy the book, a minimum of 4h on Connect prior to tests and you'll do fine. My overall GPA: ~3.5, got an A-. Recommend.

How can anyone complain about him? He teaches concepts in a way that actually relate to the real world. All test questions come from Connect. Memorize all of them and you'll ace every test. Allows you to use old versions of the book to save you money. Pay attention to lectures to learn all the math parts and you're golden! Highly recommend!!!
