Ok, let me start off by saying this guy is a loser. Not only did his examples of "Reet's Sandwiches" blow, but I think I learned more about PS3 then I did about business. Economics, whats that? We didn't even touch that subject. Items like the stock market were off topic to him. I can learn more from watching a monkey at the zoo...

Ignore the hater. He must have missed class the days that stuff was covered. I took M30 and M39 with Reet. If you attend class and read the book, you will get an A or B. If you take your paper in a couple of weeks before its due he will tell you what you need for an A. Pay attention, dont talk or txt, and ask questions - he likes that.

Reet is awesome! He teaches a wide range of classes, and uses his experience and knowledge to teach and give very helpful advice.

I dont really like Sumal very much to be honest. He doesnt teach out of the book, which is a downer.

Its doable, but its just annoying as hell. Avoid!

Amazing! Im taking his online class right now and it consists of a quiz and lab every week. He uploads videos for his lectures and goes step by step on how to do everything. He starts the homework with you and then you just have to finish it on your own. Super clear and understanding w everything. You wont regret taking him!

Took the 8 week PACE course with Sumal. Very straight forward, read the chapter and take the quiz after each chapter. No final, no midterm, no lectures. Very much on your own unless you need help you can email him.

Horrible experience with online. It was online due to COVID and I was having trouble with excel. I have never used it before and it was very confusing, it took forever to receive is help and when he did it felt rushed. I did parts of a homework assignment and really tried my best and received a .05% on it. He told me he doesnt believe in effort

The class was online with free textbook access which was a bonus. Every week you have a quiz which is easy to score on as long as you read the weekly readings which is a few chapters and videos. Assignments are straightforward with a good grading criteria, he provides examples of previous students so you know exactly what is expected.

Be sure to do his extra credit to help you out if you struggle. He is a chill professor but can be a very tough grader if you don't follow directions on assignments. Twelve quizzes, nine excel labs and two extra credit assignments. Quizzes and labs are worth twenty, extra credit assignments are worth five, and the excel final is worth fifty points.

Is very unclear with expectations. Supposed to be an in person class (covid), and instead of a regularly scheduled zoom just gives you 2 year old youtube lectures to watch. does not give precise instructions then meticulously grades assignments. seems like a nice guy, but very harsh grader.

Solid Class overall. Workload is doable one open note quiz and one excel lab a week. Total of 9 each. Lectures are very detailed and walks you through most of it. Need to watch entire video to do assignment or you'll get lost. Responds to emails but doesn't help when you need it, instead he refers you back to lecture video. He is a slow grader.

Professor gives detailed lecture videos that are required to understand the lab assignments properly. Quizzes are open note and multiple choice. But he takes forever to grade things and is a harsh grader. Expect to wait 2-3 weeks for assignment grades. He responds to emails but will not help you if you need it. Overall my experience was meh.

Honestly he's great but really makes you do your work yourself and forces you to figure out how to do Excel yourself. I was super lazy and turned in all the hw late asf and got a C but if I tried I'd definitely get an A cause he's a really good teacher.

Professor Sumal is fantastic. I took the course over the summer and the workload was very manageable. He was also available via email. I had technical difficulties that dropped my grade to 89.4, but he bumped me to an A. Some questions on quizzes can't be found it the material, but that s very nominal. Make sure you submit work on time.

I took his M30 8-week course which was online, and I found it to be pretty light on work. He assigns 2 quizzes on the chapters of the online textbook per week, occasional discussion questions, a final, and 2 really fun stock market simulation games. He also offers easy extra credit, and his tests are open-note. Make to do your reading though!

If you have respect for teachers and show up to every class willing and ready to learn, this will be a super fun class for you. 100/10, would take again.
