Yeah, so he's arrogant and odd, nobody's perfect. If you study the slides and the book, you'll definetely pass. I got an A and I didn't go to every class. At times I'd miss entire weeks (the class was Tuesday's and Thursday's).

Easy A. Just study the terms in the book, read the chapters (they are short), and read the chapter summaries. Go to classes the day of the videos. I got an A by doing this.

Easiest class ever. If you get anything lower than an A you've got problems. His tests come right from the easy to read text. He puts a lot of effort into being entertaining, most were laughing at him than with him, but at least most were laughing.

I really liked this prof., he did put a lot of effort in this class. His exams are fair, if you study and attend all the classes, you will def. pass. Take him!

Very straightforward class that manages to keep your interest despite its early morning time. Albert sometime seems like he has a stick up his ass when people dont participate or listen, but he's really a good professor and pleasant person. I recommend him.

hez okay...but i took diz class for the grade not hiz lecturing style. so i'd say hez easy. as long as u read the bookz..en i mean really read it..en go thru the vocabz...u'll be definitely juzt fine. well, the video cases count to...but theyre not dat bad if u come to class.

I thought Prof. Albert was an okay teacher. He does get anal about cell phones going off in class and people coming in fifteen minutes after class, but that is his way of teaching professionalism. The class was easy. Just read the book and come to class and you'll do just fine.

EASY!

Easy ass class..common sence materials..and coming in 15min late to a Management class isnt to smart...Just like the real world coming in to a meeting w/ your employees would be unprofesional the same as your cell bumping "I'm Mike Jones" in a me

easy teacher, easy test, make sure to go to class to get the video case notes and you'll be fine, he gives you ten questions ffrom the videos that are on test. dont buy the book its useless lol i never used it. and still recieved an A in the course.

very structured and organized class! awesome teacher who puts time into his lectures and makes them entertaining. people who complain about him are just irresponsible or disrespectful! overall, easy class, just go everyday!

Easy. That is all I have to say.

So he's a bit anal about cell phone ringing and people coming in late ... but I don't blame him. It's disrespecting. Would the same person that has the cell phone ringing in class have his cell phone on when he's in a meeting? No! Class is boring sometimes, but at least he tries to entertain us by playing music and videos. It's an easy class.

The class is really easy. You dont neccesarily have to attend to every class, just the ones where he shows video cases because he asks easy "freebee" questions on them for his tests. There are three 50 point exams that make up your grade plus 5 extra credit points. I recommend the class... u just have to read the assigned reading... I got an A

He is very articulate. Easy to grasp the idea of what kind of questions are going to be on each exam.

This is a easy class to pass if you just read the book, and go to the video days. He's a little up tight about rules, which is really distracting in the middle of lecture, just make sure your cell is off

yeah, like people said, he's anal about cell phones and stuff. still one of the best classes though. pretty easy exams...I barely inched in an A. go to the lectures which are always interesting, and read the textbook which is short and sweet

Get's really worked up about people not paying attention, cell phones/noises, and tardiness otherwise he is a semi-good professor. Quater of the time he's interesting, quater he's drop dead boring, half he's repetitive. He's tries to be funny to keep you interested. Tests are from lecture (you need to go if you want an A) and straight from book.

If you want to just pass the class you don't need to go to all the lectures, just keep uptodate on your reading when exam comes. But to get an A go to lectures n participate plus read in advance. I got A for all 3 MC exams. But Annoying how he yells at ppl. come late or phone rings I feel bad for them so I rather not go when I know I will be late

Very good class! Prof. Mike uses a lost of multimedia, and does not jsut lecture. He gives real good examples and you get to understand the practical implications. I spoke with him about my careeer and he is very helpful. He does have policies about not being more than 15 minutes late or having a cell go off, but we are going into the business worl

Class is pretty easy if you attend class you barely have to study. He tries to be funny which he isn't and make class interactive but doesn't really succeed. He can be a real jerk to students and TA's, very condescending. He flips out and goes on rants if you come in late,slouch,or sleep. Class is pretty good other than that and his personality.

a good professor, just be ready to take exams and that is it

Albert was an alright teacher. He gets upset over stupid stuff and takes awhile to get back on subject, but I found the lectures informative and mandatory if you want an A on tests.

If you show up everyday and watched all the videos and listen closely to his lectures this class shouldn't be hard for you. Just don't show up late or leave early or else he WILL scream at you. He's expectation and exams are very clear, and post grades up from the exam the very same day. Very fast and effective teacher!

Learned alot; very focused on real world! ; recommend you don't memorize the material - understand it!

Really liked the class; there is much multimedia and the material is presented in a vry interesting way. Attend class, can help you in your career.

Took his summer section, but im pretty sure hes the same durring the regular semester. Hes pretty dorky, boring lectures, but the class isnt as bad as everyone says. The material is easy, all i did really was skim through the book and read all the terms and passed a class with a B+. You have to be in class to see his ridiclous videos because its go

His class is actually not as bad as everyone said. He knew how to manage his teacher time during summer so the class doesn't seem as long as 4 hours. I actually recieved a B in his class and about the tardiness and cellphones... it's just a rule so just follow it, easy points. Those points made a difference in my grade.

Prof. Albert is a very good teacher. He explains everything so well and basically tells you what is going to be on the tests. He is extremely fair and helpful. I just can't imagine how people fail his class. I think those who do are idiots. The subject is not hard, just go to class. He has strict rules but they are completely understandable.

Very clear lectures, he tries to add visuals. Exams are very fair, every question is clear and reflects lecture material. You need to pay attention to his videos and to be awake in class. He gets a little weird about people "sleeping" or not paying attention, and never be late, he doesn't take attendance. If you're late it's best not to go.

Likes to show outdated business training videos from the 80's and 90's during class. Also shoots movies of himself and makes the class watch them. To cut costs and free up classrooms the school combined about 10 classes of about 60 MGMT-405 students into an auditorium w/about 600 students, which unfortunately make the class very impersonal.

He's a very good teacher, he knows his material very well and has a very clear organized way of explaining them and is very helpful informing you on what to expect for the test. However I don't think he'd be a very good manager, his videos are clear but outdated and his home made ones remind me of what Michael Scott would do in the Office.

He's a really easy teacher. Just come to class on movie days and read the chapters before the tests and you will be fine. I know ppl are making a big fuss about the row j thing, but it's frustrating when your in a class of 400 and 50% of the ppl still don't undertand where they are allowed to sit, even when there are signs everywhere. So stop B****

Tests are NOT hard. Read the book. Quirky sense of humor. Show up and read the book, you can earn an A no problem

Albert is one of the most annoying teachers I ever had, and I really didn't like him. BUT this class is really easy as long as you read the chapters in the book, which are not long at all, study the notes and show up for video cases. Everyone should be able to pass this class if not get a B or A. Show some common sense and keep the bonus points.

Its a pretty standard class as far as how much work to receive the desired grade. I read every chapter and attended almost every lecture and got an A. I'm sure the class could be passed by only attending the lectures, or only reading the book. Hoooray for not allowing people past row J, having people scoot past you during a lecture is annoying!

I really liked this class. prof albert tries really hard to teach class in a diff style than the boring lectures. Multimedia lectures are a plus. I enjoyed coming to class. Tests were based on lecture and book. If you miss lectures, you might lose a few points, but not fail. I learned a lot.

If he didn't purposely make the test way harder than necessary, this class wouldn't be too bad. But you add in his obsession with classroom conduct, he rants and raves endlessly, and makes this class hard to bear.

Very dry material but Prof. Albert had done his best.More than 150 students in summer in one class,he wouldn't been able to make it a more exciting class.Though it's dry, I think the material is helpful for our future working attitude and ethic.Each ch has average 5 pages(double sides) of a small book,it's really not much to read.Got A, easy class.

I found him to be strict mainly on the class conduct instead of the material. The class material was easy to understand the tests multiple choice were very straight forward. Prof Albert tries his best to make class interesting with videos and music. An A for most entertaining slide shows. Just try to be 100% there and don't be late!

The guy is totally neurotic and will completely single you out if you're doing something he doesn't like. But the material is easy. I'd recommend his summer course if you're just looking to get this class out of the way.

Take this class if you are serious about learning management. Don't take this class if you just want to get by. Mike Albert knows what he's talking about and if you ask the right questions and pay attention, you can learn a lot from him. He teaches the course by looking at at management from many different angles, I found this to be very useful.

all you have to do is read the book which has short chapters, and take the three tests. it isn't even necessary to show up to class. you get bonus points for following instructions. easy A

I liked his class! I understand where he is comming from when he requires people to follow his rules (which are not hard to follow)It is an easy "A" if you memorize the concepts in the book, no trick questions. People don't like him because he is very harsh on people not following the rules. Take his class its a good one! ;)

(MGMT 405) I liked his class! I understand where he is comming from when he requires people to follow his rules (which are not hard to follow)It is an easy "A" if you memorize the concepts in the book, no trick questions. People don't like him because he is very harsh on people not following the rules. Take his class its a good one! ;)

He's a quirky fella. But the class is structured clearly. Don't do anything to take away your bonus points. Listen for him to say "That's important", "You need to know that" or "You should know". Those are the cues for things that will be on the test. Not a hard class. Don't be a bonehead and you'll be fine.

this teacher has weird rules..but if you follow them its fine...its not that hard. He deducts points for little things like sleeping in class or walking pass row J. Show up to class days when there are video thats an extra 5 points on ur tests..and read the book. its all about reading the book to get a good grade. memorizing slides is useless.

professor albert has a unique teaching style, but i find some of the things he does weird. he will interrupt the entire class and publicly humiliate you if you fall asleep or leave early. he wastes more time by calling out ppl rather than ignoring them. he does this weird fortune cookie thing too. lots of random music clips. films ppl w/o consent!!

This professor is a very determined, hard working guy who knows many way to entertain while teaching. all his videos and music is related to the class lecture and are also very funny. we watched south park last week and it perfectly matched what his point was. M Albert is an excellent prof. however he is a little obsessive but a good professor.

hes not bad. just go to class, read the book and youll pass. Hes easy to hate because hes a white guy making jokes at the expense of women and others, but overall I find him to be hilarious. Plus he makes fun of students who make stupid comments about working out 3x a week to look more buff for a job interview or ask if he records all his voicemail

He's not that horrible, but going to class is a must if you want to pass. He pretty much tell us everything that will be on the exams in class, which is really helpful. If you can get pass his bad jokes and his cockyness, you'll be fine.

Tips to pass the class: follow his instructions, memorize definitions for the tests, and make sure you are available for the videos. If you can do that, you will get an A.

Misbehaved students distract from the learning experience. Professor Albert tries to prevent distractions during his class by taking away bonus points. Read the book, take notes during lectures, study and you will pass with an A.

I personally think he's not that bad of a professor. His lectures are well-structured and helpful. Attend class and you'll do fine. Most students think he's such an a** because he will embarrass you in front of the whole class and take away your bonus pts for the SMALLEST things. His personality is MEAN AND CRUEL, but he teaches pretty well.

good teacher

not that bad. following all his instructions in the syllabus,remembering all the features he points out during the classes, and memorizing all the video cases, going to all his classes, then you will be doing fine in his class. however, you will be suffered before the day of the exams.I learned many managerial concepts in his class actually.

Quite possibly the most boring class I have ever taken, but it's a piece of cake! He'll tell you NOT to memorize the slides in preparation for the exams. I memorized the slides (all exam questions come straight from the slides) and got an A in the class. Go to class because there are exam questions about the videos watched!

read the book, watch the videos, and you'll be fine.

People seriously need to grow up. His disciplinary style is nothing short of magnificent, even if he seems harsh at times. If you can't handle the heat of a non-math prerequisite, then you should return to grade school!

I had five other classes this semester and Albert is nowhere near as bad as people make him sound. He has specific rules which are meant to manage a group of 700+ students. That's a difficult thing to do. What's more interesting is the fact that 'future business leaders' can't follow them...it's not kindergarten people!

He only has 3 tests for the class. Test q's come from videos, and most importantly the book. Read the book line by line. Read it 5 times. You'll ace this class. Go to office hours and ask questions. Be Prepared when you see him. He is an right to the point and does not waste time type. The more you engage with him, the more you learn. Good Luck!

Wow, i really thought he is going to be a bad teacher after reading the reviews, but he is great! His class is structured the way it is for the 700 "brain-dead" people. He is actually pretty easy, and the book is very small. I have no problem missing his classes because most of it is in the book. (not the videos of course) Def an easy A or B+!!

I could understand where the bad reviews are coming from...but after taking his class it was not that bad. Sure attending is helpful but get to know a fellow student so you can share class info. when one is absent. STRICT on his code BUT thats how successful companies operate in the real world. Break rules and get penalized somehow.STUDY=PASS...

He is arrogant and stuck up, but his class is pretty easy. 3 tests, pretty straightup, none cumulative. gives 6 bonus points WHICH REALLY HELPS IN THE END, will take off points if you break his stupid rules, but its really easy not to break them. You will pass if you study the course notes and read the book

Yeah, he's an ass, but he's a pretty smart guy. He knows his stuff and attendance is mandatory because he tells you when something is "important" which means it WILL be on the exam. There are three exams, that's all you're graded on. Listen to instructions carefully and you'll be fine. Pretty easy class

Yes, he really is crazy. He's a machine! But he knows his stuff. The class was fairly easy though. There's a half grade bonus for everyone, as long as you don't forget your ID... something many people couldn't bother to understand. The same people that will come here and cry and complain about how hard the class was....

He is a solid teacher. Might come off as a little crazy, but it's only when he gets frustrated with students that waste his time. He honestly does care what we learn so sets basic rules to make the class flow easier, considering there's hundreds of students in the class... Take the class and ignore the complainers

Professor Albert isnt like people say. yes he can be eccentric but he tells you what exactly is on the test by giving "hints" so make sure you attend class. Test are straight forward. Easy A if you go to class.

I agree with the comments from 7/9, 7/26, 8/30 and 12/2. My easiest A this semester. Just read the book throughly before test day (not cumulative, yay!) and make sure you retain all your extra credit points by obeying ALL the rules (they bumped me from B+ to an A!) Most of the ppl who flunked didn't take all 3 tests, thats why! very easy class!!

Easy A class!! 3 exams no final. read the book which is not hard or long. PP presentations are very clear. You dont have to come to class just take the tests and read the book. 5 points out of 45 are from video cases 40 questions are from book.

Easy A! Just go to class and pay attention, he tells you exactly what's going to be on the exam.

Awesome realist! One of the most precise presenters that I have encountered in my life: Tony Robbinsesque with the inspirational factor. In order to succeed, simply: go to lecture, listen for "this is important", or "you should know this", and you'll be fine. Highly recommended despite the prescribed calculated rating that I have submitted.

I think he actually wants his students to apply what he teaches in the real world. Definitely some things that you learn that apply to the business world. His lectures can get boring sometimes, but they are ok. As for the tests you basically want to look at the slides and study what the book says about the slides to get an A. Fairly easy class

pretty easy class. all you need to do is memorize the pp slides. he told us not to do that but that's all i did and i passed the class with a B so make sure you buy the book that has the pp slides inside! you don't really have to go to class everyday because he doesn't take role but a few questions on each exam is based on videos he shows in class.

Buy the textbook and read it. I did not go to class after second midterm, I was OK with missing 5 questions that were based on video cases that he shows. He is not an engaging speaker, some videos are a inappropriate. Easy class, just read the book and if you go to class, don't be late.

I agree that he is not a hard teacher, he just wants a lot of things to go his way. But as long as you study his slides you should be good. the exams are based on his slides a lot (speaking from my experience) the class is very boring and i fell asleep all the time. but passed the class easily. study the slides well and memorize it at home.

He is a pretty good teacher. I took this class over the summer. If you read the book and study his slides you will get and A. And don't lose bonus points. Pretty easy but good class over all

Amazingly clear and useful class. A bit strict. His lecturing style is a bit disorienting. He tends to look around a lot, as if attempting eye contact. However he looks at probably 3 times as many locations per minute as is necessary.

He is easy to pass if your the type of person who can memorize lecture notes and definitions. I didn't buy the textbooks and just took notes in class and copied notes I missed from a friend when I missed class. Did the whole cramming before a test memorizing everything and got an A in the class. If your a procrastinator this is the class for you.

Fall '12. STUDY THE POWERPOINT SLIDES- That is key to an A! Seriously, ppl who are complaining did not attend and/or study. Prof Albert is ok! I love that he gives bonus points. I got a B+ and I am a B average student in my other classes! Gives 3 straightforward exams. I don't like his teaching style, but he is ok. READ OVER SLIDES!

His class was EASY. I went to most lectures and only studied the margins of the book the night before each of the 3 tests. Got an A. I'm pretty sure he's a sociopath, but whatever.

He seems like a maniac, but he is a very organized lecturer. He will say "this is important" when going over something that will be on the midterm. The tests are pretty easy as long as you skim the book. Everyone gets bonus points, but you lose them if you don't follow simple instructions. Overall, the content is pretty easy.

Read the syllabus, and you will pass his class. Follow directions. If you do not, points will be taken away. Listen to his directions, and you can pass.

Boring lectures since he also put the lectures online. It's kind of redundant but very informative! The only reason I go to his class was the videos which is always included in the exams. No homework and quizzes at all. Your grade is based on 3 exams! ...some extra credits too!

The only reason to go to class is to get the extra credit answers for the test. He is not a hard teacher. His tests aren't tricky you just have to study hard. Overall if I took this class over, I'd just study harder for tests

It is very easy to get A if you memorize the concepts, in fact, the concept is not hard to understand. Just remember the concept, and go to class, you will get a good grade!

Professor Mike teaches very clear and straight forward concepts for each chapter, and there are example videos relate to the concepts during the lecture and classroom discussions. Exams are not that tricky like the online course exams as long you attend all the class lecture, read the book, and watch the coursestream you will be fine.

I'm surprised at all the negative comments about prof Albert. I have never had a professor who was so straight forward and honest. Other professors need to take notes!! Everything you need to know is spelled out for you on day one. There are no surprises, and the tests are easy. Study the concepts with minimal effort and you'll get an A.

He tries to make the test and grading as easy as possible. He explains the material clearly, attendance is not mandatory. 2 midterm test, 1 final. all multiple choice. just read the book and come to class, you'll do fine. you can skip listening to his online lecture. Im not good in reading comprehension and I skip his class a lot so i just got C+.

A pretty good professor with lots, I mean lots of examples. He can talk your ear off with his in class lectures and the 75 min online lectures. The exams are easy if you thoroughly go over the study guides. He also gives extra credit. Attendance is optional but he shows video cases and there are questions on the test. He really pushes participation

This was my easiest business core class. He tells you exactly what's on the test, make flash cards, and you'll get an A. Mike is rude if you sit behind a certain row. In addition, he gets a temper, if the class doesn't participate in discussions.

dont be afraid of him, he is very knowledgeable. make sure you know all of the things on the Concepts to learn list for each test. went to first class got A on first exam never went to class again and got C's for test 2 and 3. could have gotten A's if i memorized better. tests are tough and tricky because of flipped wording. but study the guide!!!
