He is unhelpful,and full of himself....comes off too friendly!!!!

class was very easy, and basically a useless waste of time

This guy is an absolute nightmare. Ethics classes were a series of abstract, inane meetings focused on issues that, even by the loosest definition, had no bearing on the subject. Quizzes might have well been written on string theory and typed in sanskrit.

There are professors who are amazing at teaching. There are ones who aren't good at teaching. Mangaliso doesn't teach AT ALL. He makes me miss my english teacher. She was a horrible at teaching, but at least she tried.

This was the worst class I've ever taken. Prof. Mangaliso's "module" was the hardest. The material seemed easy but the exams were completely ridiculous and make no sense. No matter how hard you study, it doesn't make a difference. The exams will be full of trick questions that could have more than one answer. The TAs were not helpful at all.

Worst class ever. Material was easy but exams were impossible. Doesn't matter how hard you study, you can't prepare for the questions. The TAs are not helpful.

HORRIBLE CLASS. Barely skims over slides, makes you buy them as well as the latest version of his book. No matter how hard you study, exams don'y make sense. Often wastes lecture time talking about unrelated thingsextra credit speakers who speak about race. Moves from slide to slide in seconds and jumps around. Seems like a nice guy, bad teacher.

Test don't actually make sense or grade your knowledge. Studied for 7 hours and still received a C- on one exam. He doesn't teach and only has us watch Undercover Boss

Instead of teaching material related to the course topic this teacher spends most of class talking about unrelated material, and will waste the entirety of lecture showing an episode of "Undercover Boss". Tests are unnecessarily hard despite the lack of information given during class, and homework is based off whether you filled in answers or not.

Mangaliso forces you to come to class with mandatory assignments called RFCs. In class he blabbers about unrelated topics and essentially reads off the vague topics that we will need to know for the exam, but then never goes into detail to explain any of it. Exams are impossible. The book would help if you could figure out the chapters you're on.

This is one of the most unorganized classes I have ever taken. A class about management and the professor can't even control a classroom, let alone teach any useful information. Going to class is a waste of time but if you skip it'll really hurt you because of the daily homework. Whether you study or not you'll probably get the same grade on exams

Material is interesting enough and the lectures aren't hard to understand. Sadly, the tests are a real buzzkill. I studied 4 hours for one and 12 hours for another and received the same grade. There isn't much you can do to prepare yourself. Just hope you're a good test-taker. I got a B+. Mangaliso is a great guy, but the class is horrible.

Worst teacher I've ever had or seen. Embarrassing that a great school like the Isenberg has him teaching a class. Class consists of Undercover Boss episodes and him talking about racism (nothing to do with mgmt). Went to see 3 TA's who apologized for his horrible teaching and impossible tests. Take this class somewhere else if at all possible.

Perfectly nice guy... But an absolutely hopeless teacher. You HAVE to read the book or it's game over, end of story. And unfortunately, you also have to go to class since his (useless) lectures are required and attendance is weighted pretty heavily. What a huge waste of time.

Possibly one of the worst classes at umass. Wastes class time watching undercover boss and going on hour long tangents, and never really talks about anything relating to the tests. Even if you study with the online flashcards etc only about half the material ends up being on the test, the rest is all random and up to chance. Avoid at all costs.

Personally, I have to say the professor is a good guy. However, he is really bad about teaching the course. What he discussed at class and what we have to do on the exam are totally unrelated. You have to read all the chapters and attend to class with your clicker. I would never take the class if i had a chance to choose.

Unrealistic amount of work each week, grade is dependent on the group. Professor does not provide feedback, and quizzes on material that isn't covered.

Nice guy, horrible professor. Lectures are boring and irrelevant to exams. Thinks highly of self. Exams are 50 random facts straight from textbook. Spent lots of time watching Undercover Boss and Office Space, which is an embarrassment to Isenberg. Very tough grader. Learned nothing. "Offers" extra credit if you donate money or clothes. Avoid!

Absolute garbage professor. Multiple choice exams that each question has multiple right answers. Completely self-absorbed, fails at conveying any information and is unfortunately the only professor for the class in which everyone in Isenberg must take.

This should be an easy class, but no, Mangaliso makes this class horrible. Iclicker attendence during every class and he gets MAD when we get the answers wrong when he doesnt teach!!Don't even bother with the tests, you can study all you want, but it won't help. Random questions that you have to get lucky on to get correct. Don't take this!!!

Mangaliso is an terrible professor. His tests consist of 50 multiple choice questions in which all 4 answers could be correct, but you have to choose which one he feels is right. Lectures stink, and he reads right from the slide. His homeworks are simple page long responses and he grades them very tough just because. Take this online if you can.

Do not take this if it isn't required. Mandatory lectures that make no sense and slides that make even less. You'll have to go blind into the exams because anything you study will not be on them. He acts like a saint for giving out extra credit when in reality gave a total of .5 points on your final average. Really nice guy but has a thick accent

Attendance is mandatory but is pointless. He is without a doubt the worst professor within Isenberg. I do not think there is anyway around this course. Tests are very textbook specific. You will not learn a single thing.

Makes you come to class, but doesn't do anything with the class time. Literally talks about nothing for an hour, then rushes through the slides in 5 minutes and acts like we should have learned something. Shows movies instead of teaching. Has panels that literally have nothing to do with the class. Just an awful, awful professor. The worst.

Even though I got an A, I didn't learn a single thing in this class. Attendance is mandatory even though there's no participation or group work in lectures. The homework and exams are purely based on your ability to memorize rather than understand concepts. If you have to take this class, I recommend taking it with anyone besides him.

One of the most useless classes I've ever taken. Gives you a plethora of business terminology and theories that have no usable application or any real meaning behind them and then expects you to memorize them all. If you're good at memorizing endless amounts of vocabulary, definitions, and acronyms you'll do alright, otherwise prepare to study.

Worst class I have ever taken. Attendance is mandatory when going to class you dont learn a thing. Gives a study guide before the test, but nothing you see on it will be on the test. Did an extra credit paper that I grinded out on a friday night only to get a 0-10 -like what. Exams are 60% of the grade, so if you do bad on the exam youre screwed.

Doesn't want to see his students succeed, goes out of his way to trick you

literally the worst class i've ever taken. lectures are so long and boring, he goes off topic a lot. practice exams and study guide have nothing to do with the lecture and then the exam topics are even more things we didn't learn. iclicker attendance is mandatory and it counts for a lot of your grade. at 8:30 am I often fell asleep in class. AVOID!

Hardest class ever. Exams were hard, practice exams were not helpful at all. Test questions were very different from practice exam questions with tricky questions. Never in my life will ever take this class ever. Classes were meaningless, didn't learn anything. Just reading off the PowerPoint.

I'm not sure if this class is any better in person, but online is a nightmare. I didn't learn anything from his lecture videos and he is inaccesible by email, and so are his TAs. Some exam questions come out of nowhere and make no sense. I had no connection to anything in this class and felt so lost the whole time, good luck to anyone taking this.

Easily one of the worst professors I've ever had. Seriously. I don't know how he's still teaching this class. Even a peanut can make this class more engaging. Changes grading criteria and assignment due dates last second. Don't expect any serious help if you reach out to him by email. Teaching a management class but can't manage a class.

Seems like a chill guy, I would definitely grab a beer with him. Management 301, on the other hand, is not a good class. It is just regurgitative learning. There are so many pointless definitions and acronyms, I had to create acronyms to keep track of acronyms. There is no need to confuse intuitive topics with vague vocab.

What he teaches in classes are not related to the exams, exams are too hard.

I have never once hated a professor as much as I hate this man. His lectures are pointless, his tests are horrid, and his assignments (not the Connect homeworks) are difficult. I am convinced Mzamo wants students to fail. He doesn't teach then expects us to learn from his awfully worded powerpoints. I genuinely don't know how he still has a job.

His actual exams are nothing like the practice exams, they are very hard. He doesn't respond to emails, neither do his TA's. I wouldn't recommend taking this class with this professor, even if you put in the work, you still don't do well, especially online.

Taking an online class where the professor won't respond to emails has been incredibly frustrating. No lectures or assignments provided other than 4 group projects and 4 quizzes. He has provided almost no feedback. Assignments are often released late/don't follow the timeline on the syllabus so it can be difficult to plan.

This professor barely knows the material that he is teaching. He reads off slide, and does not explain material well. He is unorganized, and constantly is making mistakes, and releasing materials late. He is hard to reach, and when you reach him, he usually does not answer your questions. He relies heavily on his TAs and has no place being a prof.

I took this class remotely, and it was by far one of the worst classes Ive taken. The professor just reads off his slides, the exams are filled with trick questions, and the group projects were so unfair. He has one person write up an essay for everyone. Not to mention his videos/lectures were incredibly boring and hard to watch.

Worst class I taken here at umass. Over all he is nice but unorganized. I would always attended the class in-person and Class was never started on time. As that attendance was taken though iclickers which he didnt know how to use which would take up a lot of class time. Things on test were never mentioned in class but he expected us to know.

A very difficult class that I have got The lowest Grade ever, the exams have questions not related to the text, and the practice exam just help a little.

I'll start off by saying he seems like a very nice guy. But oh my lord is he an awful professor. Lectures are mandatory but absolutely useless. He just paces around going on tangents and reading off practically useless slides. Exams are oddly worded and there's an unnecessary amount of regurgitated vocab from the book. Overall, very unorganized.

He seems nice enough but his class is awful. He is always so off topic and chaotic going over lecture slides. Very apparent he does not prepare for his classes. Assigns group projects designed to result in an unfair distribution of work all for the same grade. Tests aren't too bad but some of the questions used information not in our materials.

This professor was absolutely terrible. I would recommend taking it with absolutely anyone else. online course with only group work. tests were hard and had material not even learned. tons of reading required. grading and expectations not clear. not online or responsive yet expects you to be very active online. no lectures explaining the material.

No clear grading guidelines. Will try to dock you down just so you won't receive a perfect score. Likes to bold texts in red and blue for no reason. He doesn't lecture, he just posts the licensed textbook slides. Expects you to fill in an excel template with ratios for financial analysis without going over how to do it. Avoid this guy.

Course didn't match course description at all. First assignment was the exact same as Principles of Management. Mostly group projects with no grading rubric so grading felt random. Multiple choice quizzes had questions from chapters that hadn't been covered yet. Projects also had elements that hadn't been covered yet.

This course epitomizes why college is a scam; We are forced to buy McGraw-Hill Connect to do the homework where the questions legitimately consist of things such as The _ is the head of a company; A.) CEO... It is despicable that a junior/senior level course is so pathetic, zero learning is done, the assignments are trash, Isenfraud School for real

This guy sucks. His class sucks. Dont take a class with him.

This class is useless. The professor makes the exam way harder it should be for this type of class. Everything is pretty much common sense, and I'm not sure why I need to spend almost $100 on a useless textbook.

The lectures are impossible to follow and are oftentimes run by guest speakers. There is little work to do on a week-by-week basis, but doing poorly on the three exams will hurt your grade. Professor Mangaliso is basically impossible to reach outside of class via email. I would highly recommend against taking this class if there are alternatives.

He would go on random tangents during class and very rarely actually used class time well. He brought up random topics every class that had nothing to do with the material, such as rape, prison, 9/11, and Hiroshima. I didn't learn anything and felt like I was wasting my time.

I'm assuming the exams suck from what I've read. Only been a week and I don't enjoy this class. Wouldn't recommend.

His lectures, assignments, and exams are very confusing. The exams have information that doesn't seem to be discussed in lecture. Attendance is required at the lecture. There are group projects that have very confusing instructions.

An extremely disorganized class, which is ironic for a management class. Exams are confusing and have many things not discussed in class. Group projects are confusing with conflicting instructions.

This class was a joke. The professor had absolutely no business teaching it. The practice exams were entirely different than the actual exams. You have to go to every single class or your participation grade takes a hit and its wroth 20% of your final grade. Genuinely a complete waste of my time.

hes a good dude, just out of tune with his students. hasnt shown total grades all semeseter, and a TA had to tell me what my grade was. Took a final last week ON canvas and it still isnt graded. Wont give extra credit, and is super specific when it comes to giving out points. Online exams during an 8:30am class time is ridiculous. wouldnt takeagain

so weird. online exams, online work. class just is so buns. definitely not too hard but wow

Don't take, it's a snooze fest.

an absolute dumpster fire of a class, which is ironic given the content covered. mandatory attendance for lectures where you can expect to learn nothing thanks to the unclear slides; exams that change formats based on how he feels about students; regular group projects that could be individual discussion posts. terrible experience.

Class is a joke, teaches kindergarten-level concepts with fancy words. And the exams are sometimes online or in person, depending on how the professor feels that day. Don't take this class.

Professors switched halfway through the course. Everything is extremely confusing and is a complete snoozefest to be in especially with attendance mandatory. Cared so much about the online exam and potential cheating that the final is in person, would be better if the content was organized.

Imagine a class where your exams are wordy and riddled with typos, where assignments are posted late and due day of. That's MGMT 301. It's hard not to question how someone who claims expertise in management can struggle to manage their own class.

This class is an absolute joke. Profs offer unclear instructions, slides are useless & lectures are a snoozefest. Weekly assignments, mini group projects and exams the last of which they switched to an in-person format and was riddled with typos and errors. Do not take this class.

complete joke of a class. taught by management professors who can't manage a single aspect of their class. the material is outdated, irrelevant, and a complete waste of time. my advice to Isenberg students: take an equivalent for this class at a community college - you'll save time, money, and the frustration associated with this class

Dropped my business minor after taking this class. What a mess.

This class lacked clear structure and expectations. The case studies were often confusing, and in my group I ended up completing most of the work. The exams felt inconsistent, and the final was changed from online to in-person with only two days' notice, which was difficult to adjust to.
