He will screw you over on the quizes...They are only 10 question quizzes, but you must memorize the whole chapter, cause he won't tell you what the quiz will be over. The projects are dead boring. I hope you like sports because he will relate everything to football as that's all he seems to know.

As a returning adult student that took his class over a compressed summer semester of 6 weeks, I have to say he was a huge challenge. Good, fair, but you HAVE to keep up. The only people that did poorly were slackers that didn't like doing work. All in all, I found his expectations of students to be similar to the real world...

To all of those that gave blue faces, you will learn in your college career that those professors that challenge you to work for your A are teaching you to work hard in life, and that successes of this nature are by far more gratifying than any easy grade you will ever get.

GREAT TEACHER LOVES TO TALK ABOUT REAL ISSUES. IF YOU DONT LIKE WRITING DONT TAKE HIS CLASS YOU WILL WRITE MORE PAPERS IN HIS CLASS THEN ALL THE ENGLISH CLASSES YOU HAVE EVER TAKEN. AS LONG AS YOU DO THE STOCK SHEET AND COME TO CLASS EVERYDAY YOU SHOULD BE GOOD FOR AN A. JUST MAKE SURE TO DO ALL THE PAPERS AND DO SOMEWHAT DECENT ON YOUR EXAMS. A+

Professor Corrigan gives a lot of writing assignments, but as long as you do most of them, attend each class, and fill out the weekly stock sheets it is very easy to earn an A. The exams are 10 essay questions, but he gives them to you before hand. I recommend taking this class if you are looking for a challenge and like business.

Had him as a professor a few semesters ago and it was the hardest class I have taken yet. I think I learned more in his class than I have in most of my others combined though. Very interesting class, talks of his real world experiences. Come to all the classes and you will get a letter grade raise, do the stock sheets and get another. do the work.

Corrigan was an amazing professor TAKE HIS CLASS! Lecture based class no Powerpoints but taking notes isn't necessary. Online textbook for free, some quizzes given based on vocab from text. We wrote 9 (very big) papers, and had 2 pretty hard exams that were essay based. Gives the most extra credit I have ever seen! He cares about his students!

One of, if not the best professor's on campus. He is thoughtful and knows how to engage his students and guide them towards thinking critically on various subjects throughout the course. There will be a lot of reading and writing, it's tedious, but fairly easy once you put yourself in the right mindset.

Gives a lot of papers, but they're not that hard. He is a great professor who wants to help his students succeed. Lots of extra credit if you aren't doing well, and his grading system is fair. I would take him again because he's funny and lenient. Ask questions in class!! He loves engagements.

you may think this teacher is really funny and cool and nice, but he can also be really mean and awful. He will embarrass you in front of the class if he thinks it's gonna be funny to everyone else.

One of the best professors I've had. He is HILARIOUS!! The way he talks about tests is a little frightening, but he explains everything thoroughly. Hands out TONS of extra credit, so there is literally no way you can fail.. unless you don't do it. His class isn't EASY, but it is simple once you figure out his teaching style and whatnot.

I had him for BUS100 and then 280. Great professor! Very nice and wants his students to do good in the real world. He also teaches very well about what the business world is like. I would love to take him again. You will pass no matter what.
