DON'T TAKE THIS PROF! BIGGEST waste of time ever. He has no clue about how to do some of the assignments. He does not prepare his lectures before hand. We spent a WHOLE class period learning how to make a power point AFTER the entire class had already created one. Pointless professor. Easy A though.

Do Not Take This Professor. This guy has no idea how to effectively teach this class. He has no lesson plan. Has not explained assignments. Just sort of comes to class and whatever happens happens. We do not have a text book because it was not completed in time. His feedback on presentations is subjective at best and and not very helpful.

He used to run a candy company, but is teaching now, so he loves to talk about candy and he brings some for the final. He goes over everything for the quizzes in class before you take them. You do a group project, but it's not that hard if you work well in a group.

Neal is a pretty straight forward grader. You give about 4-5 presentations and one group project that you are supposed to do throughout the semester. The presentations are not too difficult if you practice. Do not try to wing them. I won't work. Has 2 exams, not very difficult if you study.

Maxfield is a great professor who wants his students to succeed. As long as you put in the preparation and send all of your rubrics on time you'll pass.

Professor Maxfield feels the need to assert dominance in his class like your a child. He is VERY unorganized, grades extremely harsh, and does not teach anything beneficial about Business Presentations. I never would of imagined this would of been my hardest class of the semester. Save yourself and take this class from someone else.

Professor Maxfield is an interesting dude. Make sure you know what's on the syllabus because he doesn't like to remind you when tests and quizzes are until the day before. He also has us do a group service project which doesn't really seem to be relevant to the class. I took business presentation and his presenting style seems a little old fashion.

Neal is a really good professor and wants you to do your best. That being said, he's pretty strict on grading and he's not always super clear with his instructions. There are a handful of presentations and a group project you'll be working on all semester. I did learn a lot from him though and the book that was required was pretty cheap.

Professor Maxfield is a super personable guy who is very accessible outside of class. Has set up his class so you learn exactly what you need to. As long as you do your presentations you should be good to go. His only downfall is sometimes he isn't very clear on what he expects from you on assignments.

Easy class, but the presentations are nonsense. Dumb, old-fashioned format, not applicable to any real business presentation. Semester-long group project, massive waste of time. Easy class, but don't expect to learn anything.

Neal is a pretty easy going guy, but the way he teaches you to do a business presentation is VERY outdated which you learn on the first day. Ironically, you watch a video of Steve Jobs doing a decade old presentation of the iPhone 3, which contradicts nearly everything Neal teaches you to do. Do the presentations the way he likes and it's an easy A

Maxfield is an easy A for your basic presentation class. You do multiple presentations throughout the semester and one group presentation. If you show up to class and put in the little effort, it's an easy A. He cares about his students and is willing to work with you if you show effort.

All you have to do to get a good grade is 1) read his feedback on your presentations and apply to next presentation and 2) follow his formatting for PwrPnts and delivery (even if you disagree). In the group project, let him know if you are the only one putting in 100% effort so that he is softer on grading, but he won't care about the unfairness.

It is unclear what is expected of you, and if you don't do something exactly how he wants you to he will fail you. Don't take him unless you like guessing what your professor wants all semester.

Awful teacher if you don't do things exactly how he wants them he will dock you points heavily. I had "Voting" at the beginning of a sentence to start a sentence with a verb he told me that I needed to change it to "A vote" to start the sentence with a verb. After I proved him wrong he inequitably docked me points on every assignment after.

The group project at the end is a nightmare if you don't get a good group. I will never take from him again. You have to do it the way he likes even when it doesn't make any sense. the presentations were dry and boring and you weren't given the freedom or encouragement to experiment. waste. of. time.

He has a very traditional teaching style. If you are not extremely proper with the way you speak, you will get marked down, as well for small human errors. Tough grader and gives little feedback on what is expected of you as a student. If you are going to take this class, I would wait until it is back in person.

He is a very "by the book" grader. Its really hard to get an A on any of the projects for the class. He's very critical of your work and presentations, and will always find something wrong with them. Not a hard class to pass, but the guy doesn't give you any slack.

I took this class online, and we would have to film presentations. He accused me every time of reading slides in front of me when I wasnt, and spent a lot of time memorizing. I followed all of his feedback from previous presentations, and he would comment and say that wasnt what he wanted? The class was horrible, and nothing i did was right.

Not very specific for what he wanted. You have to follow his example word for word or you will get docked. Do too much and you get docked. Do too little and you get docked. I would not take this class from him Online.

Hes contradicting with certain things, very old school, very picky on grading if you don't do it exactly how he wants it done. Glad I took it online so I could record my presentations ahead of time and didn't have to do it in person. Not impossible but one of my more annoying classes i've taken.

Neal is very traditional and a lot of the curriculum feels a little outdated. However, he gives AMAZING feedback. Each assignment gets feedback, and I honestly felt like I improved. The presentations are easy if you just follow the examples. There were times I felt I got graded a little too harshly, but he was great overall!

Although I thought Professor Maxfield was a good teacher, his grading seemed a bit biased towards his own criteria, and not the course criteria. But, if you do everything exactly how he wants it, you should get an A.

Professor Maxfield is a great professor! This was a decently challenging course. The great thing is that you learn quite a lot and the structure is very easy to follow. He gives great feedback as well! Be prepared to give a few presentations for a majority of your grade.

His idea for a "good" presentation is outdated. He marked me down for wearing slacks instead of a dress because he'd never seen anyone present dressed like "that." If you want to get anything out of this class take someone else. If you're wanted to have a Professor dictate every little thing you do then he's the one for you.
