His arrogance comes from great expertise. He definetly knows what he's talkin about! Unlike other profs who talk about general topics, he gets very detailed about everything in Canadian Exporting. And students who complain bout his policies: whay don't you just try following them for once? They're there for a reason

Demanding. However, I definitely learned a lot. Because of the two classes I have taken with him, I have developed strong business writing skills; which are still serving me well.

Loved the prof! Honestly, he IS very arrogant, but if your serious with him, pay attention and READ the material, some affection towards you is guaranteed. Otherwise ur screwed. The final project is hard as hell, but you'll learn more than you will in the rest of the courses combined. Be detailed, HE KNOWS EVERYTHING!!! :)

He cares, he's great and he is really knowledgeable about international business.Best Prof I have ever had.

Amazing guy! You actually learn something about the real world, not just some textbook theories. Very interesting classes. Demanding, but fair. Loved him!

Manjuris is the most open open minded professor I have met in the school of business thus far. He gives the entrepreneurship program credibility and Ryerson University in totality. Take this course and not only will you learn a lot you will also have fun...Manjuris is awesome and you can tell his colleagues are jealous of that.

Excellent

Take NOTES!! All his tests are based on in class stuff. Take notes using a laptop if you have one, even on the smallest details. Get previous tests, they are similar, but he changes small words here and there that make all the difference on the answer. Don't bother with the textbook.

I have taken him for 3 classes already and let me tell you this guy is AMAZING! The only reason people dislike him is because he's arrogant, but thats only because he literally knows everything. Reports are long and have to be detailed, but do it and you're fine. Leaves you with so much real life knowledge that you'd want to take him again!

I enjoyed the lectures and overall experience. The only request is to be less dictatorial as to the attendance. (It'a a choice of the student.)Be simplier and it will attract more people

Energetic, intelligent, fair marker, rude & authoritative professor. Although you pay for your education, if you're late for his class and test, you're dismissed.

Tests are very tricky for multiple choice, and the assignment is very meticulous. If you work hard on the major project, you will be rewarded. Lectures are pretty interesting too.

He is one of the smartest profs around and i learned alot from him but hes not the best kind of guy out there. He never listens, he always interrupts u, hes not friendly, and hes very strict so its important to meet deadlines on time. Best of luck!

some of his "facts" in class are actually incorrect after a bit of research. rude.not really helpful. some topics were interesting.strict, treats students like they are kids

I honestly do not know why Mike has such a bad rating. I look forward to this class every week! He doesnt teach right out of the book, you need to read on your own to do well but the tests are multi choice and if you read you will get a good grade. His lectures are engaging and interesting. I see nothing wrong no cell phones in class. have respect.

If you have critical thinking skills and are aware of the real world outside of university theory, his classes are simple and use full.

People that bash Mike just can't or won't make the cut in the real world. Manjuris is an amazing professor. His strict demeanour in class precipitates into a professional learning environment and to be honest, I got maximum value out of my dollar spent. I actually LEARNED in this class. I picked up a skill or two that I will use in the real world.

Manjuris is a consultant himself so his lectures are extremely interesting and current since he knows what he is talking about!! Dont bother reading the book for the midterm.. I only read the chapter summaries and focused on my notes and got 85% on the midterm. Alot of work near the end. A heck load of cases and big presentation at the end

Great professor! Lectures were very interesting and current. Tests were fair, would definitely recommend him!

Honestly he is probably the smartest prof I've had and also teaches very well in a sense that you learn a lot. His classes arent too easy but if you pay attention and do the work you can get a good mark. Trust me he is much better lately than a few years back.

Excellent prof. You learn a lot from the course! Go to his lectures and participate!

This was an amazing class! As long as your phone is off and you do what he asks of you, you will be fine! Each class was extremely interesting and it is mandatory to be there, the tests have content from the lectures. An inspiring and entertaining prof!

Mike Manjuris is one of the best profs teaching at Ryerson. He is the only prof that truly challenges you and makes you work for an A. I respect his teaching methods, and those who dislike him are usually those who don't listen to what he asks of you. Great class, just be prepared to do a lot of work!

THIS MAN IS A LEGEND, realistically the hardest professor I have ever had at Ryerson and makes you earn your marks. Throughout the course he puts each member of the group under scrutinizing pressure,however your knowledge, confidence in your answers, and the "effort you input is a direct reflection of your mark." No cellphones,dont enter class late

He is a great prof. You just have to know how he is, give him respect and attention and youll learn a lot from him. If you want to sit at the back lost in your own world on facebook then he might not be for you... he would easily stop the lecture and address your cell or laptop use.

Awesome prof, he is tough but you will learn a lot. Pay close attention to what he says in the early weeks of his course, pay attention to his feedback, take notes and dont argue with him when he is giving you feedback.

good class, knowledgable, current, relevant, punctual, focused

Despite the bad reputation that students give Manjuris, he is a very intelligent prof. He isn't giving away marks he makes you earn them but is more than willing to give an A to those who do the work. That being said, listen CAREFULLY to what he is expecting of you and you can definitely achieve a decent mark.

Pay attention to his instructions and you will do fine. He's one of the most knowledgeable profs at ryerson. He comes off scary at first but once you look past his intimidating behavior hes not so bad. He tries to mock real-world interactions through very harsh professional demeanor but i personally liked it. PICK YOUR GROUPS WISELY!!!

Honestly, one of the best profs I've had. He comes off as very intimidating but he just likes to "scare" you to earn respect. He's VERY clear with what he wants in the report, don't do anything more or less than he asks and you'll ace this course! Very FAIR markers!

Hard prof but gives you a real reality check. Really makes you work for your grade but helps you along the way with very detailed information. As long as you attend class and do some readings you will do well

like the others have said, he's strict and harsh at times, but he's VERY SPECIFIC with what he wants, and doesn't hand out marks without you working (extremely) hard for it. fair marker.

very knowledgeable, relevant and uses a lot of current examples that come from the real world. has equally high expectations. lots of discussion in class. you have to follow the course lectures (all testable), follow current issues and THINK! does not give marks for free. probably the best course and most relevant prof I had at ryerson.

For those who are complaining about him being rude or whatever, suck it up. This is what real business going to be like!! Michael is by far the most knowledgeable professor i have ever had at Ryerson. It hard to get a good mark if you put your heart into this course. It's a capstone course, don't expect it to be easy.

Manjuris got me hooked on geopolitical issues (stuff i ordinarily dont care for). You cant be in his class and not listen bcoz you would be setting yourself up to fail his test plus he is clear and precise with his explanations so you understand. His tests are based on what he says, an A is possible if you follow his instructions (details matter)

While taking Manjuris's GMS850 class, I realized that he's a nice guy and he truly wants his students to learn and understand. Sure, he can be tough, but not just to be tough, he wants you to get a feel of what it would be like in a real life situation. I learned a lot. Work hard and respect him, and he will respect you!

No doubt about it - Manjuris is tough. He's also very clear on what he expects. If you come prepared and ask the right questions, he will guide you. He's fair. Just don't expect him to do the work for you. To people complaining about being kicked out for being late/having phone out? Easy fix. Be punctual and put down your phone for a few hours.

The prof is great. For me it was a pleasure seating 3 hours in his class. You learn so many things that will be helpful in the other GMS classes. Prof gives many examples and the information and knowledge that you get from his classes is amazing. He is tough but as long as you are respectful, do the work, for me he is the best prof at Ryerson.

For all you global management majors. Get ready for this class. It is more tough than any other course and expect greater group times outside of class. Clear cut and specific but tough.

Best prof at ryerson. If you think he is rude you simply dont understand him. Go to class, write down every thing he says - his tests are 99% lecture material. If he says what he had for dinner last night write it down. Dont use ur computer in class and dont speak. Look and listen to him he will make ur degree mean something. learned so much luvhim

He's a double edged sword. He's extremely smart and teaches you about things that you will no doubt use in the real world. He also is very rude and condescending to students. Pay the utmost attention in class and write down everything he says. Be prepared for very high expectations for the group project. He will push you to your limits.

Professor Manjuris is a tough prof but I truly believe that he does it to allow his students to evolve and is the only one that best prepares us for life after university. Yes, his 'role play' may seem very offensive but that's because you either don't pay attention or disrupt the class. Come in with an open mind, do the work and you'll be fine.

Manjuris is by far the most knowledge and relevant prof at ryerson. He may seem tough at first but he just wants to prepare you for the real world. Make sure you get a good group for this project as it is very heavy and time consuming,

This class is easy to get an A in if you do EXACTLY what he says. No less, no more (don't be extra). ALWAYS relate your measures of success to your strategy, ALWAYS talk about how you're going to improve your measures, and ALWAYS use proper terms (Financial tactic, HR tactic, etc). Mike is a great prof and treats you like an adult. DOES NOT baby!

Very professional, knowledgable, and passionable. He makes great connections within the material and has a strategic approach to the relevant issues today. If you attend his classes, show interest, and follow the instructions carefully you will get an "A."

Mike is tough but fair. He is clear in his instructions: you must attend class to do well with him. He expects you to know the material. If you show you're interested and learn the material, you will find yourself with an A. If you skip class and complain upon return, you won't be getting sympathy. No textbook, but substantial online material.

Mr. Manjuris is really a love him or hate him kind of professor. I've learned a lot from his classes and I believe he tries to prepare you for the real-world in GMS850. Yeah, when he roleplays he can be quite rude but too many people forget it's just a roleplay to prepare you. Do the work, pay attention and you'll find he's a great teacher.

One of the best professor I ever had at Ryerson. For those complaining about getting kicked out because you touch your phone or being late, GOOD FOR HIM THAT HE DOES THAT. If you think that a professor calling you out in front of the class is an insult, you are going to get a hard awakening in the real world. Mr. Manjuris was outstanding!!

The course is based on team work. The role plays are heavily weighted on how much time you spend with you group preparing as a team. Don't be intimidated by the professor, because he's wonderful, and will prepare you for what he wants SPECIFICALLY. Follow his instructions and you will do very will in the course.

As a professor, I think he is overall good professor. He make's you really earn your marks. GMS850 requires a lot of group work, and he can tell who does all the work in the group. He's a tough professor, only expects great from 3rd / 4th year students. I've had him twice prof, he is knowledgeable and experience in his field

He is an awesome prof. If you follow his instructions and go to class, you will do well in the course. His lectures are inspirational, he is one of the most prepared human being on earth, and he cares about students growth. Loved taking GMS692 with him!

Micheal is an amazing Prof if you can get past his "role playing". He acts like a bit of an ass and will put you on the spot, so make sure you know your stuff. He is very clear and well prepared for lectures. Little to no slides! so make sure you pay attention or you're bound to miss vital information. Slackers don't do so well, you were warned

This guy is one of the realest profs at Ryerson. Just show up do your work and be prepared and you won't do bad in his course.

Amazing prof who cares for his students. Skipping class or failing to meet with group members will result in a bad grade. Course is tedious, but do your work and you will get a good grade.

Dr. Manjuris is a boss with a wealth of knowledge. I can understand why people dislike him but he's actually a really nice guy outside of class and will readily help you out if you show initiative & effort. You may hate every second of his class, but know that you will be better for it later in life. Call me crazy but fave Prof @ Ryerson hands down

Manjuris is the real deal. Very knowledgeable and experienced, prepares you for the real world. I learned more from GMS 850 with Manjuris than I did any other class at Ryerson. A good group is essential for this course. This class makes you get out of your comfort zone. If you can't handle stress then you won't be able to handle success.

This course was one of the best choices I made this summer. Although he tells you to buy the textbook, it is not at all needed for this course. His quizzes and tests require you to study but its all from his modules and there are no surprises. Even the project, put in some work and you can get a decent grade. Take him online!

I know most comments say that he is bad for many courses but for GMS723 online, he is by far the easiest prof I have ever had. Literally, study his modules thoroughy and nothing else, and you will do decent on his tests. Easiest course and prof ever.

I believe he is one of the best professors at Ryerson because he does not tolerate BS from students. He will not let students use fluff in their reports or answers to pass the course. In order to be successful in the simulation and his class, you have to do the work, understand the material and put put it into practice.

I actually enjoyed this prof. If you do exactly what he wants (not more and not less) you will get a good grade. Make sure you have a good group because it requires a lot of teamwork and communication!

The simple fact is the course is tough the professor isn't. He gives it to you how it is, doesn't beat around the bush. That's how you want a professor to be.

Took GMS692 when I was on exchange in late 2019. He was the best prof I had whilst studying in Canada. He makes you work hard and engage in class and ensures you cant just breeze through the course which aids in preparing you for work after University. The people complaining are obviously lazy and couldn't be bothered to put in any extra effort.

Classes with Mike are challenging and interactive, and you will be required to take notes on everything we discuss during lecture time. You've got to be ready to WORK for his courses. The coursework is interesting and relevant to the current global economy, making it all the more interesting to participate in class, however, good luck!

Look, Prf Manjuris is not the nicest prof you might meet, but he cares about your success in a very weird way. He is very harsh and doesnt like BS, but if you write down everything that he requires for GloBus, you will do great. This class requires a lot of group work, so be sure to be in the group with ppl you trust! Not as bad as expected, 8/10.

Manjuris is a pretty good prof nowhere near as bad as everyone makes him out to be. Make really good notes in class he is extremely straight forward with the information he expects you to know. I probably learned more in this class and his GMS 692 section than I did in any other GMS class.

Class is way too overhyped in regards to difficulty. A lot of work, but it is NOT hard at all! MUST talk to students who've previously taken the course to know the LITTLE and CRUCIAL details he expects on reports and in the meetings. You MUST know participation guide & lecture discussions for 20% quiz (This is the ONLY studying u do for course).

Honestly I don't know why he has such a bad rating he's a great professor very reasonable. However be ready for the meetings they are very intense.

Extremely misjudged and underrated. Hes hands down one of the best profs at TMU. He wants nothing more than to actually help you succeed in life. Hes tough when we role play business scenarios but thats just a representation of what its like in the workforce. If you dont know whats going on in your program, you cant expect to succeed in anything

hes a friendly knowledgeable guy people just hate him because they want to be spoon-fed everything. hes extremely caring and understanding, you just have to make the effort in actually talking to him and showing up to class. you get what you put into it.

You get what you put into it. I learned more from this course than I did studying virtually for the last 2 years and having spent upwards of $20,000. He has extensive knowledge in all areas of business, so what if he doesn't have a PhD? You don't either. If you're lazy, untimely, irresponsible, or illiterate, don't take this course. You will fail.

Manjuris is my favourite prof at TMU. This experience in this course is solely based on your group members. If you have a bunch of slacks then you'll have a hard time. The only prof who tries to make you think rather than copy & paste textbook answers. Once you figure out what he expects out of you the course will be a breeze.

Pay attention and take notes of everything he says, pull your weight in the simulation/project, and you'll do good in his class. Disregard the bad reviews, he's actually a good professor if you show that you put in effort in his class.

Mike is the best! He uses his real world experiences to teach rather than rely on a textbook! He also is great for advice outside of class and will give you knowledge on paths to your success after University, he is the best.

I walked into 850 scared for my life but honestly Mike has been the best professor during my entire undergrad. I learned a lot in this class. But be prepared to put in a lot of work in the simulation in order to do well. His midterm is very easy if you pay attention and take notes in class. Put in the effort, and you will do well.

Here is the review you need, everyone told me oh hardest class hes horrible hes this that. Well listen hes a tough teacher but hes earned my respect, listen in class dont miss a class go to the meetings get a solid group. Midterm is easy, take notes. Be on his good side and nail simulation. Work hard and you will do well

Prof Manjuris runs a tough class, but put in the effort and you'll do well. Attend every class, take detailed notes, and nail the simulation. Unstuckstudy AI is a great study tool to prepare.

Simple: go to lectures, take notes, and put in quality effort toward accomplishing what you're told to do. You do that, you're good. Not a professor for lazy students that believe it will be an average college course to coast through, bad reviews are upset they made that mistake.

I believe this course could be the biggest challenge throughout 4 years at school. As other people said, just remember all the questions from the initial meeting and Pay more attention to the second meeting. He will give u a diverse range of marks upon our contribution.

Bird course? No. Workload? Yes. But ACTUALLY hard? NO. not a prof for ez marks, but if u put SOME effort, like pay attention in class + 3 hours a week outside class, ur good. AT LEAST 65%. Only criticism is he doesnt prepare u for midsem report. Only after feedback youll realize how ez it was. ask previous students how to prepare for midsem report

To anyone who gives this man a bad review. Your the people who will go either life without a job or are devaluing my degree. Lock in and contribute, I know half yall mfs only in this program cause you couldn't lock in at highschool. This course is hard but you just need to rub 2 braincells together and just do the work and not leave stuff last min.

He is not that bad.

I really like this prof. Yes it's a lot of work, but it's also a capstone class/4th year course. I learned a lot and it was interesting!! Get a good group, I can't emphasize this enough and meet EVERY week. Email him if you have questions/want to meet with him. He has office hours and he's always willing to help

I had this professor last year and I swear the people complaining about him have 47 chromosomes. I effortlessly got an A in gms850. If I can do it, you can do it if you have at least the slightest amount of competence.

Had this prof last year and everyone saying negative things about him is either trolling or lacks too much common sense to even deserve to get post secondary education.

Graduated a few years ago. Good easy marks tbh.

Don't listen to the negative reviews. They're all coming from the whiners who only know how to complain. He's harsh on the slackers for a good reason: he's preparing us for the real world.

Lock in, follow his instructions word for word, don't procrastinate, and you're all set. This class is just common sense.

Disregard all the negative reviews. He's truly the goat of the entirety of TMU.

I was afraid of going to class. But, I made it out just fine. He just wants us to put in our best effort.

Disregard the negative reviews. They're all coming from people who complain too much.

Amazing guy and an even more phenomenal professor.

Never met a more competent and inspirational educator than the man, the myth, the legend: Michael Manjuris.

Compared to the other professors, he does a phenomenal job preparing us for the real world.

He's too underrated to be true

If you don't like him, it means you're a slacker.

Common sense is really all you need in his class.

Professor Manjuris is strict and stern, but he prepared many other students for the real world quite well.

One of the most misunderstood professors. He's harsh on us because he wants to push us to do the best we can, not because he wants to berate us.

The negative reviews are defamatory towards him.

Slack off and you'll find no success in his class.

The fact that the people writing negative reviews of him were able to make it past high school is questionable.

He's not that bad.

He's alright as a prof.

He gets guilt tripped by students way too much.

Knowledgeable guy who wants to bring the best out of us. Phenomenal professor overall. The negative reviewers and people having negative feelings towards Manjuris are just mad they didn't do as well as they hoped to.

This man will rip you apart for showing up to class unprepared and he's the only professor teaching gms850 most years. So, either brace yourselves or don't slack off.

Honestly, way too many students mistaken intellectual rigor for getting berated.

Honestly kinda shocked he was rated below a 3 overall the first time I saw the reviews. Ignore the people saying bad things on him.

Do yourselves a favour and take him as a professor. He'll push you intellectually in the name of preparing you for the real world.

Some of you might not like me for saying this, but I kinda like him.

He gets way too much hate than he deserves.

The slackers need to get a life.

To the people to have negative feelings towards him: get to work and quit yapping.

I can't lie, he's pretty chill and motivational as long as you try your best in his class.

As an alumni, I gotta admit he's pretty strict, stern, and demanding. But at the end of the day, he's preparing us for the real world and I'm glad I had him as a professor.

Not as horrendous as some people like to say he is.

The people hating on him need to quit looking for excuses.

As long as you have a functioning brain, you should be fine.

Just don't be a doofus.

Most underrated professor known to humanity.

Easily one of Rye High's least appreciated professors and he doesn't deserve it.

If anyone calls Manjuris condescending again, I'm actually going to start tweaking.

The people giving him bad reviews are just mad they didn't get the mark they wanted and regret not working hard earlier.

Get a COMPETENT group and you're all set. I couldn't emphasize that more.

All of you are going to realize Michael Manjuris is an amazing professor the moment you stop whining. PERIOD.

Phenomenal professor who only has good intentions, even if he yells at the slackers.

Had an absolutely splendid time in his class.

If you're unwilling to put in the effort to get the mark you want, don't even bother giving him a review. He's sick and tired of the lack of quality of your work.

Easily one of the most exceptional professors in the history of all of academia. Put in some effort, submit quality work, and you'll be on his good side. Otherwise, get ready to get ripped apart, insulted, and berated in front of the entire class in the name of being prepared for the real world. TL;DR: Just don't be a doofus and you're good.

To the people saying negative things about Michael Manjuris: Are you serious?

Rather inspirational professor

The people who complain about Manjuris are the same people who didn't put effort into this course (you know who you are)

The only thing some people know how to complain.

This guy's the goat. Just disregard the negative reviews.

Such a chill guy

The people writing bad reviews are delusional.

Excellent prof. He's preparing us for the real world.

You know what they say: never blame a prof for your lack of intelligence.

He's preparing us for the real world.

The people writing negative reviews have nothing better to do than to complain.

By far the most inspirational prof

He's not that bad

He's amazing. Source: I'm a former student of his who got an A+ effortlessly.

Don't listen to the people hating on him and/or giving him negative reviews. They're just bored.

One of the few professors who actually prepare students for the real world.

Such a bird course and easy prof.

Negative reviewers were clearly smoking too much weed.

Hard course. But lock in and you're ok.

Requires a lot of time and effort. You should be fine if you do what he requires.
