MALTBY IS BUSINESS
I agree, MALTBY IS BUSINESS. simple as that.
Maltby is tough, but attempts to make every class enjoyable, and to connect with students.
Tahnks Maltby, you made international student significant in stfx
in one word, he is the best one in stfx.
Hard marker, knows his business tho
AMAZING PROF!!! This guy knows what he's talking about. He really encourages people to share their opinions and makes the course enjoyable. Great prof. Although not an easy marker. he's a fair marker
Neil is definately one of the best professors at St.F.X! TAKE HIS CLASSES!!! He definately knows his stuff.
The only person who laughs at his corny jokes is him. He takes himself waaay too seriously and is not any help outside of class. And I'm still bitter that we payed close to 250 in text books and course fees! oh and he's a ridiculously hard marker
had to sit through 75 minute accounting review and his monotonous teachign style bored me until I could only stand 15 minutes. Despite styles and appearences, I'm sure he's a good teaher(just not for peopel that get bored easily)
Extremely helpful outside of class. Unfortunately his jokes are not that funny, mostly because he forgets the punchline sometimes. He definately knows his stuff but you have to go see him outside of class. Knows all his students names!
Bad Jokes, but you laugh anyways..really good prof, easy to talk to.
My friends and I love his humor.(what other prof. tries to make his classes so fun and interesting?) This guy is excellent. He always has time for you and knows your name. Best prof. I have had.
awesome prof...he is someone who actually knows what he is doing...he has worked all around the world... take his class you will learn alot...yes mr. MBA
Great guy, actually cares and he knows his stuff. one of the best profs at X
Definatly one of my favorite profs at X... his classes are really good for people who arnt lazy.(and his jokes can be funny..sometimes!)
STUPIED JOKES
Awesome professor! Very helpful both in and outside of class. Definetely my favorite prof at X!
He is so funny. He really keeps the energy of the class up. He is very well organized and works really hard to keep us interested. He is very smart and easily approachable. It doesn't hurt that he is the best looking prof. on campus either!
hot prof here! good at teaching business first year but its still tough cuz its so broad. he does the maltby strutt, i'm sure you'll notice, how he squats in the middle of the room when he gets into what he's talking about. its funny. overall he's a good prof!
Really great prof, I came to him with a problem and he was really fair and helpful with it, I enjoyed his classes tremendously, he's funny!! Knows his stuff and knows how to make it interesting. Definitely take a Maltby class.
Best professor ever, hands down!
LOVED HIM!
A very enjoyable course, too bad I didnt take him for 101. Made it worth going to an 8:15, I'll be looking for him in future years, very helpful and extremely encouraging when you get to talking to him!
he is a hard marker..but fair
he is a fantastic teacher and SO HOT!
Neil "The Bench" Maltby, top prof at X.
very good
MALTBY IS THE MAN. make your schedule revolve around his class cause he is one of the best profs at X.
I LOVE Maltby. He's a really great prof. He really knows his stuff, and makes the material more interesting. If you are in BSAD, take his class!!! You will not regret it !
Maltby is an Awesome Prof. He is so helpful and easy on the eyes. Take this course!!! :)
The best prof I've had at X. The only bad part about Neil is that he'll put most of his students to shame in the weight-room.
Maltby is one of the most approachable teachers on campus. You'll see him around campus and he always offers you a 'hello'. He also keeps his classes interesting so you don't fall asleep, and you learn a lot.
Best prof I had, He makes you want to go to class, as long as you keep up with your work you'll do great!! :)
He's a good teacher, likes when you participate in the conversations/debates.
Maltby is by far the best prof I have had. Really intelligent guy with amazing blonde hair...lol. Cracks a lot of hillarious jokes as well. Definetely take his classes.

Excellent. Very thorough, well structured lectures. Material is presented very logically and is easy to understand if you have Maltby.
Come on! - Neil, to his credit, is very interested in international business, and hence the attempted phD. But he does not show expertise of the subject AT ALL, has terribly structured lectures and feels the need to make us buy a text that he never makes us use. Add some more theory - use example to support your lecture, not be your lecture.
You don't know what you are talking about. Maltby knows his stuff! He is very informed, knowledgable and has the guts to make it interesting (and funny!). He is very intelligent but not a knob. I have learned more in his international business class than in most of my other classes combined. HE KNOWS HIS STUFF!
He structures his class very well. Organized better than anyother prof. for sure. He is so enthusiastic. People just love him (and his corny jokes!). He never makes you feel bad for being stupid. He makes everything interesting. I feel like he really works hard to make things interesting. I will definately take him again. Great teacher!!
I def. recommend everybody take this man, he is unbelievable. He makes class fun without putting you on the spot, fair marker, and always willing to clarify and help. Hes so enthusiastic about business, hes so funny, you always leave class thinking. By far the best intro-business prof.
He tries to make classes interesting and is really awesome at thinking of good examples and stories taht we can relate the topics to. Great for help when you can get ahold of him (that's the hard part) It's a really independant class with little guidance often. Not always fair in marking, and you'll have to directly ask where you can improve.
Oustanding professor. Arranges all topics in logical sequences; everything you need to know before the latter part of a topic will be covered in the first part. Gets classes to have great and interesting discussions.Very intelligent,gives good feedback,marking not soft harsh:strikes right balance. Take Professor Maltby;he'll make you like business.
He is the best teacher at X. You will love him. Great guy. Fantastic teacher. Invested in his students. Always helpful. Interested in students. Smart. Totally hot!
Maltby is actually interested in what he teaches, his class is my favourite to go to as he keeps it light. Be prepared to work but also be prepared to have some fun. Maltby IS business
He's a great prof. Very friendly, approachable and enthusiastic about what he teaches. You can definitely sit through one of his lectures without falling asleep. Highly recommended.
I was disappointed in this class, I learn nothing, but Neal is a great guy none the less.
Neil is a great prof. He keeps things interesting in class, he knows what he is talking about, he is very approachable. He's really just a nice guy who is a pleasure to know. And he is HOT!
DO NOT TAKE INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS WITH NIEL. He is a great prof I must say, but given the amount of work that u must do for the project and gives u a moderate grade on avg of 60 something, this is not a bird course.
Amazing teacher!even though the class is somewhat boring,he makes is interesting!He is really clear and always there to help! Hes amazing! definetly take him!
One of the better professors at StFX. Be prepared for tests, most of the material comes out of the text book. Everything is very straight forward, you just have to put in the hard work - especially on the project.
Neil is a great teacher. Honestly - you won't regret taking a course from him. My friends and I loved him. His reputation is golden (hair too!). I know people who took him years ago and still say he was the best prof ever. He makes everything interesting. You gotta work but it is worth it. Best teacher in Business.
Do not take this class, he expects you to do way to much work, and the exam was awful. Nice guy, but if your looking for an elective avoid this one.
One of the worst teachers I've ever had. If you want a real business professional to teach you, don't take Neil. Class is more like the philosophy of business, rather than management as its supposed to be. This guy ruined 4th year business and I hope someone holds him accountable. Anyone looking for an interesting course avoid Neil!!
Agree with the other posters that Maltby should resign, he is a disgrace to the business community. He has no clue what hes doing and his course might have been the worst course I've ever taken. This guy is a blemish on an otherwise great faculty. If your considering this course DON'T TAKE IT!
AWFUL! In my three years at St. FX i have never had a prof i felt knew less about his class than Neil. Tries very hard to be nice so no one calls him out on being completely unqualified for his position. Neil should really stop wasting the students time and money and get a job he is qualified for. Avoid Neil at all costs.
Really bad prof. I will admit that he is a nice man,which I believe is the main reason people think he is so amazing. Put aside his nice personality, and you have a terrible professor. His classes are boring, useless, and much harder than they should be(since they are technically the bird courses in business). Avoid Neil
Awesome prof, always there to help you in and outside of class, if taking BSAD get him as your prof!!
Loved having Neil as a prof. Haven't had him since first year but we still chat it up every time we see each other. Great guy, knows his stuff. Would definitely take another course with him! Awesome prof, definitely recommend taking his classes!
Maltby is a great prof. He is always willing to give advice, whether about the class or other topics. He made an effort to get to know everyone's names - and it made a difference in the class. Most exam questions come from the textbook and the multi. choice are tricky. He won't give out high marks for nothing, be prepared to work hard. Great guy!
Great Guy
Great teacher
Outstanding prof at X. You'll love him in your first year. Takes time to cover topics but it all seems reasonably important. Tough grader but if you work hard it's nothing extreme. GO TO CLASS, participation mark is important. Really nice and interesting guy, plus he has amazing hair and is easy on the eyes. Definitely recommended
Amazing professor. Always welcomes students to ask questions and come for help, and teaches the material in a way that is interesting and concise. He genuinely cares about his students and I would recommend all of his courses to anyone. St Fx is lucky to have him.
Maltby is a beaut. He really gets to know his students. His lectures can be a bit boring sometimes but he really does know his stuff and teaches it well. He's a tougher marker but it's not impossible to do well especially if you're showing up to class and putting effort into assignments. He's funny and friendly - one of the best BSAD profs
Examsmidterm materials do not correspond with majority of class focus, expect surprises on anything that is testable. blows off appointments with no notice. Is not helpful outside of class and does not usually respond to emails. He is not the prof you want during your first year transition to university.
Good prof for 1st year nice guy and makes you comfortable - nice transition from High School - but has high expectations. Doesn't have a lot of real business knowledge and very theoretical, hides his lack of business expertise by trying to be one of the students. May not be good in upper years. That said he is way better than other 1st yr profs
Acts very serious but has a great sense of humour. Clearly explains everything. Terrific prof.
Great prof, takes his time to explain everything and if you ever need any assistance, he is there to help you out!
He is very straight forward in his lectures and is clear with the material. He is always willing to offer non office hours for his students and wants everyone to do well! His lectures can be a little boring sometimes but he's a nice guy and clear with what you need to know for midterms/finals.
Great professor, and overall just a great guy. His personal interest in the course material really comes through. His expectations are extremely high, so don't think you can sleep your way through it. Big on participation (especially write ups to gain participation marks).
Great guy, hard marker. Don't expect an easy grade. Alex or Macissac more likely to give you higher grades then Maltby. Despite this, his lectures are interesting and thoughtful and I learned more than with any other prof.
Neil's lectures (at least in large classes) are quite dry, and he doesn't give out an 80 just like that like some profs may have. He is however a very nice man who will go to great lengths for his student. He wouldn't be my first choice, but if I had to take another course with him, I'd survive.
Best prof I had in my first year. Has a dry sense of humour but goes through the material in a way that you can understand and flows with projects and the textbook. He honestly cares for his students, try hard to make things understandable and is a very approachable prof. My first choice prof by far
Maltby is the most awesome prof. He's a great guy and even better when you take multiple classes with him and see him in office hours. He can get a little off track sometimes but overall really engaging when teaching.
Best prof at X. Has a really dry sense of humour but the more you hear it the more hilarious he gets. If you have multiple classes with him/ go to office hours/ engage in class discussions life will be easier for you.
Best Prof I've ever had, truly cares about his students. You have to read the textbook if you want 80+ but 70s if you don't and study. Super interesting course and you can tell he is really passionate about what he is teaching.
Professor Maltby is truly passionate about the course material. Stay on top of readings and lectures to do well. unstuck AI was a lifesaver for extra practice.
