Difficult to understand, does not understand the questions you ask him, not very helpful or friendly, far too strict, difficult to deal with.

Mittoo is a horrible communicator, he is not helpful at all, does not understand questions, and is an extremely hard marker. The course has a heavy workload, but the assignments are easy. Should be an easy A but the class was anything but.

OMG! How can a guy like him could ever possible become a prof!! He is so.....beyond words! Tell your guys a simple, but true fact! If you are not taking class with him,, or if you has done his classes,or even if you just derferred your exam for his class, he WON'T answer your questions regarding to this course anymore! He is teaching for MONEY

Really nice guy, expect a B+ in this course. Worst professor Ive had at UofM. Havent learned anything, far too much homework, expects $30 for a dinner and 10hrs that day to reherse and make a presentation. Take this with a light course load. Very unorganized.

Rambles on and on about nothing useful. Completely disorganized, and teaches you nothing about business communication, except for one short lesson on memo's. Very unprofessional, with no due dates. He attempts to teach grammar but he's not even very good at teaching that. Vague and boring. Completely unfair grading system and no help out of class.

So boooooring. Some students fell asleep a few times. He gives assignments to write a response to something, but he doesn't give his feedback. Instead other students give you a feedback on your writing. What's a point? He is hard to follow in class, grammar review is useless. It's just a lot of useless cr...p in this course. Grading system is vague

Only teaching about grammar,too many assignments and handouts. The presentation night is boring. Can't skip him b/c he is the only prof for the core course.

I fell asleep in almost every class. He's boring and the class content has nothing really to do with anything. Just a dumb mandatory grammar course. Don't buy the textbook (unless you're buying mine ;))and don't put much effort on the reading responses worth 5%

Complete waste of time. You gain nothing from this class. Mittoo is an outdated prof teaching outdated lessons. Dont buy the book

Awful teacher. Class is completely useless. Mittoo does not know how to teach. Lectures are boring and are all over the place. Expect 3-4 unnecessary handouts per lecture.

He is the kind of prof where your opionion or ideas do not matter; you need to say exactly what he is thinking. He has no grading scale for papers. I asked to see one and he said "University classes do not use grading scales." In lectures, he says the same thing over and over again. He is also very unorganized. He changes his due dates often.;

The second worst prof I've had at Asper. Ambiguous assignments, random grades assigned, lack of structure. The class is completely useless. When you ask him for help, he makes you feel stupid, and tells you " use the logic". Also, be sure to have a motivated group for the project. It's very tedious, and he will rip your paper apart for grammar.

Not a good prof, his lectures are hard to follow and you'll get a B-B+ no matter the amount of effort you put in. Try and avoid business communications with him!

Doesn't give good grades at all. Lack of structure in lectures. Goes to the far east to tell you something in the west. Will never take any of his courses if (God forbid) offered in Asper. This course should be taken in the last semester of your degree.

Way too many handouts, very vague assignments, forced "Diversity?" in group projects, and will embarrass you if he doesn't like your answer if he asks you a question.

Imagine the world's most boring man describing the world's most boring subject, boringly, and you have an idea of what his course is like. The attendance is mandatory (he takes attendance) only because no one would show up otherwise. Bring work from other courses to do in class, write decent papers, and walk away with an easy B / A.

such a boring 8:30 am lecture, he has a small voice, so small then if I am sitting on the right side of the class and he turns left, it is impossible to hear him. He does not organize his content folder on umlearn, it is hard to sort out useful information, does not post grade online. Overall i dont like his style or the subject at all.

Attendance is graded, only reason students have to show up. Really useless class. He doesn't explain things well. Very kind though.

Every single class is pointless. He talks about nothing. However, you still have to go because he takes attendance for marks. For the exam, you don't need to pay attention until the last 2 classes. Don't worry about taking notes unless it will assist with assignments. Basically a writing course that doesn't count for a writing credit in Asper.

Rakesh is one of the most boring & egotistical professors you will ever come across. His voice will put you to sleep. His ego is huge. He thinks he is the best at what he does when he is not. He will always criticize you & your assignments, whatever you say or do will never be good enough. His graders are also trash, they don't grade fairly at all.

Lectures are literally worthless but you have to go because of participation marks. I might be wrong but I think he's the only prof who teaches GMGT 2010 so you can't avoid him. he is incredibly disorganized and speaks very quietly at times making him hard to understand. He does mean well but I would never take another class with him.

One of the most boring and worst prof at UofM and Asper! Highly recommend not taking his course.

This class is very discouraging. On all of our writing assignments, almost the entire class is given a grade between 70 and 80, with no one getting over an 84. This class can singlehandedly make you lose all confidence in your writing ability, regardless of your previous successes. Very sad that this class is mandatory for all business students.

Worst professor at the University of Manitoba I have had so far. He is one of the strictest prof in terms of grading. He literally is not good with lectures and engaging the class. Anyone could score an A in this class if the right prof is given to instruct this course for students. I don't even know how I ended up with a B "AFTER ALL THE WORK."

Worst professor at the University of Manitoba I have had so far. He is one of the strictest prof in terms of grading. He literally is not good with lectures and engaging the class. Anyone could score an A in this class if the right prof is given to instruct this course for students. I clearly deserve at least a B+ but somehow I ended up with a B.

Worst prof I've had so far. Very ambiguous grading rubrics and project outlines. This professor is really disorganized and unprofessional, he will give you a B no matter what. I wanted to test his grading, so I put a lot of effort into one paper and about 30 minutes into the next one. On my good paper, he gave me 66%, but on my terrible one, 82%.

Grading scale was extremely inconsistent and harsh. Rubrics are incredibly long, disorganized, and hard to understand. Doesn't seem like you'd be able to get higher than a B+ no matter what you did. Would not recommend.

This class is useless, unfortunately it is a mandatory course but you will not learn anything. You will not learn anything you dont already know, he teaches basic grammar, grammar is also worth more than 20% of your overall grade so keep that in mind. Overall he is not a good business teacher, should stick to English.

How is this guy a university professor, he puts his student in the worst possible circumstances to succeed in his class. The most pointless class I have ever taken with grading criteria that doesn't even make sense. This prof needs to go and this class needs to be updated from the 80s

Awful. Unfortunately he is the only professor that teaches this class. No matter what you do in this class you will get a B or B+. Pretty sure he closes his eyes and just assigns random marks to everyone (anywhere between 65-79) He has about 10 different slides/sheets for the assignments and each has different instructions. TERRIBLE

What makes me the most upset is that he'd rather focus on criticizing international students for accent and annunciation than critiquing the content, body language, and the way people present. I don't understand how this is acceptable to fit in an equal, diverse, and inclusive teaching environment today.

Oh boy I have a LOT to say. Rakesh is a poor communicator despite teaching business communications and seems unorganized. Assignment directions are inconsistent and the guidelines are scattered throughout UM Learn, and he is unclear with deadlines, instructions, and advice. Very very very frustrating class.

Avoid taking a class with him. The instructions for assignments are often 10+ pages and will have you left with no idea what to do. Gives no rubric but will also not tell you any reasons why you got a mediocre grade. Prepare to have your writing critized and critiqued to no end. An egotistical communications prof who don't know how to communicate

Made me hate communications. The four assignments all have 10+ pages for their instructions and always have multiple documents usually with conflicting information (one says 500 words, another 600 ex). Extremely dull lectures with no real relevant applications if you already know how to speak english. This guy needs to update this course from 1960.

The course is called business communications but his own email replies consist of two to three words. Boring backdated lectures and he is more concerned about questioning people's accents openly (even though he himself has a partial non-native accent) rather than focusing on coursework. Grading for assignments feels like blindfolded dart boarding.

I found his lectures very slow. Whatever you do, give your best or just do the assignments a day before the deadline, you'll end up getting the same grade. He mostly grades everyone B or B+ Goodluck

Save yourself and do not take gmgt 2010 with him. his instructions for assignments are so unclear and he does not give a grade above a 75. lectures are incredibly boring they are so hard to sit through. prof contradicts himself all the time and does not know how to communicate. group project too much work for what its worth.

literally so unorganized, he has so many folders its hard to find anything you are looking for. was late for our group rehearsal and gave us pointless feedback. would not take him ever again

Like others said, super critical and you'll most likely end up getting a B in this course no matter how hard you try. The work isn't bad, some writing assignments, group project and exam only a few students will score higher than a B.

Very unorganized, grading criteria and feedback is unclear.

The worst professor in my university life

I would often skip class because his lectures were so boring and felt like a complete waste of time... Although attendance and participation was marked, I chose sleep over getting those marks. He was so messy with where he put things on UM learn and people asked in every class where it was. Such a tough grader too and really vague feedback

He doesn't teach anything useful in class, don't bother attending if you don't mind losing attendance marks. You can just read from his slides. Wants students to contribute in class but super passive aggressive about their answers, this is why no one contributes in class. He was poor in communicating, and never gives high grades on his papers.

It is very unfortunate that he is the only one that teaches this course. Strange grading style. Lectures and notes are extremely unorganized. Guidelines for any assignment are some of the most confusing and unclear guidelines I've ever seen. So much for a "communications" class. Absolutely horrible experience. He also picks on students. Horrific!!

By far the worst professor I've had. 10 page long outlines, useless lectures, and inconsistent grading style. 0% or 200% effort will get you B+, even though the course itself is easy. Asking for feedback is useless; Rakesh is really egotistical and puts you down if you disagree with anything. All this while he teaches "communications."

The professor is nice person, but is not very organized when assigning course work and lecturing. The professor would not even remember where they left off last class, and the instructions for the assignments are very vague and split into multiple documents for some reason. The professor seems nice, but I would not recommend this professor.

The class sucks! The lectures very dry and boring. His course content is all over the place on Um learn. Assignment instructions are extremely long and confusing. He is a tough grader and really doesn't know how to teach. His entire course is messed up and the irony is he teaching communication.

literally the most boring and useless class ive ever taken. you could write absolute garbage or the greatest essay ever and you will get a B or B+ no matter what. instructions for every single assignment are in like four separate documents which makes it super confusing. it is required for all asper students and it is not very much work.

This course should be title as Business MISCommunication tbh. It's a harsh truth. I've never been this confused in his class in my entire degree

The lectures are just him over-explaining basic guidelines for the assignments, would not attend if you are okay with losing 3%. The feedback on the assignments was a joke as he has a rubric that is not used and there was nothing constructive about the feedback received. Marks were deducted so that most of the class was in the B and B+ range.

Lectures were very boring. I paid 0 attention in class and put minimal effort on assignments. People around me put more effort in, but we all got 70's on assignments. If you want to work extremely hard for a B+ you can, but I'd recommend using the class time to work on any other class work and coast to an easy B. Don't expect to get above a B+

very awful boring and useless lecture. but u have to attend because attendance is mandatory so nothing to do. whats with the fake accent i dont know trying a lot for that fake accent. u cannot take any other prof for this course as it is mandatory and only one he takes this course which is worse. very useless guideline for assignments no time.

You get a B/B+ in his class no matter your work product. The entire class is a joke, and he's the only one who teaches it. Best advice just get the class over with and take your B.

The lectures are painfully boring, so much so that I end up doing work for other classes instead. The assignment files are a mess and take forever to find. What we learn in class has nothing to do with the assignments. I'd recommend doing it in the summer and getting it over with in 5 weeks than stretching it out for 4 months.

Believe me when I say that every review you read on Rakesh is accurate. This guys lectures are some of the most boring, hard to follow lectures i've ever attended. And yes, I attended because he takes attendance. His grading is INCREDIBLY vague, he gives very little directions for assignments and his feedback is even worse. One of the worst profs!

Probably THE WORST Business class I've taken, unclear instruccions for papers; even when you call him for suggestions keeps requesting information that was not added or mentioned before. Says he has a rubric for grades and you dont even know what he's evaluating. Do not take the course if you dont have to!!!!!

terrible worst class Ive ever taken

The prof is very unclear with his lectures. Instructions are very messy and inconsistent. I have final exam tomorrow and I still don't know what I have learned from the course. The course materials are not that difficult but the prof makes it sounds very difficult and be ready to get very low scores on assignments no matter how good you write.

Simply put professor Mittoo is a terrible instructor. He has an overinflated perception of himself that makes this class unbearable. On top of that, however, Mittoo's class doesn't align with this ego. Course files are messy and spread across several documents, he provides unclear rubrics for grading and marks very subjectively.

One of the WORST classes in Asper. Boring lectures with mandatory attendance and terrible feedback on assignments. Basically he just says it's wrong because he says it's wrong. Always asked students to participate but no one ever did because he would just say they're wrong lol.

He is a terrible prof but a nice guy. His lectures are useless and hard to follow. His course plan is all of the place and he constantly changes due dates, sometimes after the paper is due. Assignments aren't overly hard but he is a tough grader and gives generic feedback. Group project is easy and final is fair. Good luck getting over a B+ though.

Boring class, took this as an elective because I thought it would be easy and maybe it is but I'd rather have to take Calc 2 again then ever step foot in this class again.

DO NOT TAKE HIM.

Amazingly, the faculty has not rid itself of this guy. He is the worst professor I've had in my degree. He has unclear assignments (ironic since he is teaching Bus Comm) and his lectures drone on about nothing and everything simultaneously. What he looks for in assignments is highly particular, but it changes from day to day. I'll take my A and run

Does not keep his word. Nice guy but I was promised an arrangement for an accommodation I have spoken to him about weeks before and the day before our meeting he changed his mind about the time, place, and location and did not respect my time and situation.

He's the only prof here, so it's a canon event. I hated myself every minute I sat in that class. Attendance is mandatory, you gotta sit for 75 minutes straight listening to him talk about Trump, and drifting away to stories no one cares about. Nice guy, but gives no feedback, and you just get a bad grade on the 3 assignments. Worst prof in Asper.

Good luck getting anything more than a B+. Grading is extremely unclear and unnecessarily picky in random areas. Lectures are a lot of rambling that has nothing to do with the content and are hard to follow. The content information and assignment guidelines are also extremely unorganized and difficult to find all in one place.

Does not response to emails at all, at oeast if you are a female student

Unclear instructions for assignments, then marks the assignments like he discussed something that was not on there. Confusing lectures, disorganized information, feedback of assignments makes zero sense [adds unrelated aspects] Keeps using Donald Trump as an example in class, mind you class shouldnt be about politics.

His slideshave some insights, but anything he says doesn't really add value. His assignments are not complicated, but most end up getting between 65-70, getting really vague feedback. I complained about my grade once, as the TA, I assume, had spelling mistakes in the corrections and comments, but he just deviated the question. Worst Prof in Asper.

Rakesh is not a great professor. He is unfortunately tenured and teaches every section of GMGT 2010. He WILL accuse you of using ChatGPT even if you didn't, he will grade you horribly and unfairly, and he will ramble on about nothing in class. The textbook is required, but you do not even touch on it. There is no escaping this class at Asper.

Not good for useful feedback. Attendance is mandatory but completely useless as he rambles on about nothing and his content can be summed up in an email. Should not be teaching the way he does, probably the worst prof I have had.
