What a great class. He's a Southern Republican who can dominate the Democrats. I loved it!

All questions multiple choice. ALL TEST QUESTIONS ARE NUMBERED IN THE BOOK, WITH ANSWERS. There are homeworks, which you just copy exactly what it says in the book. Talks long about his stories in life.

He is a wonderful teacher. Very opinionated in politics! All the tests are word for word questions from the text. He is very internet literate. Show up, stay interested, do work (which isn't much), and you will get an "A"

Tests are extremely easy for you crammers out there. all multiple choice. just review for 2 hours before the tests and you ace the class. tests range from a few questions to a couple hundred and he gives you the test material in the lecture guide w/ answers! just memorize answers.

He is very bright, but the workload as many students have said is much more. Required reading of 30 to 80 pages each week. Three essays tests that take four to six hours( internet. Interactive professor that lets students think for themselves.

Tests are all multiple choice and he gives all the answers in advance. Easy class. We had to read a small book, but it wasn't too bad. He mostly tells stories in class.

The best instructor I have had at Pierce College. He is up-to-date and current. Writes his own lecture guide and text material. Very knowledgeable about the subject matter. Tests require preparation, but he gives you the information needed to be successful. I recommend him as a must teacher.

Gives great lectures that are easy to understand. Relates well with students, and listens to us. Clarifies topic with current society. Tests are easy if you prepare and tough when you don't, but they are fair and on the subject. Best teacher I have had at Pierce.

Excellent class. After taking his class I went into business for myself. He is fair in his teaching and requires a lot. He relates real business experience with the book theory. I recommend him highly. I grade him A+++++++

Simply the best. He conveys real experience with book theory and makes the material understandable. He is very organized and methodical which makes the course easy, though there is work. Tests are multiple choice and essay. You will love it. At last I get to think!!!

I wish that all of my classes were as good as his class. There was a lot of work, but it was worth the effort. I use the info from this class on my job. It is easy to recommend him as a teacher. None have been as organized. Tests do require preparation.

He is an instructor that requires the student to think for themselves, to do their work (there is a lot), to apply themselves, study lecture notes and text. Tests are essay that take 4 to 6 hours to complete. He is internet savy and opinionated. You learn a lot from this teacher!!!! A+++ in my book.

He is a real proffessor, very organized, and interisting

Funny, genious and inspiring. He shines an interesting light on the material so it makes sense. He tells excellent stories that relate to the material. You can really learn from him.

Great Teacher!!!

Skidmore is awesome. One of the best teachers I ever had. Some students feel that he talks too much about his life and not enough about business. But his life is business and if you pay attention, you will learn more than you know.

Excellent instructor. I have learned more from than what I thought I knew. Very funny and inspiring.

Mr. Skidmore is by far one of the coolest teachers to take. He is very easy and understanding. BUT ATTENDANCE IS VERY IMPORTANT. He goes of topic with his stories but it makes time go by a lot faster. He is very profesional and curtious. I had a problem with my grade at the end of the semester and did everything in his power to correct it!

He is an easy teacher. ATTENDANCE is important. You can recieve A+ on every assignment and still get a B in the class. SHOW UP AND DON'T LEAVE EARLY!!!! He talks about food a lot so make sure you eat before you go because you will get hungry. ;)

Prof Skidmore is very knowledgable. His stories are topical and current. He is computer savy, and you will use the internet. He writes the book, and lecture outline. Makes the class easy to complete. One of the best instructors at Pierce.

Skidmore is an excellent teacher. He knows his stuff and causes you to want to know. He is computer savey and you should be too. Gives an excellent foundation to understand the material. Relates your lifes experience to everyday business. Should be required for all students.

pretty **** class

AWSOME! Be prepared to work! Lecture guide is great. He wrote the text. I am now at CSUN and he is the best. Well organized, interesting, makes you think and relate to the world. Don't be late. Don't miss class. Do ALL assignments. He will answer all questions and wants you to ask questions. Fun class, great class.

Of all teachers he is a must. Well organized, stay on his schedule. Do all assignments and a good grade is at hand. Class attendance is required. You will learn more about business than you realize. Computer access is important, work is also on-line. He wants your questions, so ask!!!

Great class. Instructor wants students to succeed. Must be in class, must participate, must read, MUST do all Assignments. Does work on internet and in class. Very informative and interesting. Relates real world to business theory and makes subject matter understandable. He encourages participation. You must read!!!

Good class and good teacher. Learned a lot more than what I thought I would get. The class is well organized which makes it easy. Must stay up on the assignments. Fair, interesting, humerous, practical in his approach. A must.

Great Class for non-business majors and business majors alike. Class is well structured for student success. Do all homework and assignments. Stay on the schedule!!! Works with internet and in class. Has a business library that is easy and helpful.

He is a funny guy. Loves to debate with people in class. His class may seem simple but you learn so much as long as you do the work, especially the section review questions, and read. Always have something to say in class about something doing in the economy. He loves that.

He's ok. Didn't like the assignments.

He comes off really hard in the beginning, but he's not that bad. All but first test were take home tests. He's willing to stay after class to help people out. He also lets the night class out early often. Put in a little effort and anybody can achieve an A.

Best Instructor. Very organized and well prepared. Expects students to be prepared. I recommend him to anyone. If you do your work, an 'A' is easy. He makes you think and wants you to participate in the class. "READERS are LEADERS" and students making it through his class come out LEADERS.

He is well worth taking. If you ask a question you will get an answer. Do the reading and keep up and grading is easy. Course is so well organized that there is no guessing on what you need to do. Is computer savy and expects students to be also. Course is structured for student success. He even stays after class....He is a must take!!!!

Absolutely the best teacher and course I have ever had at Pierce. You come out knowing the relationship of business to the world, and you might even get a business idea of your own. He is one to take! Well organized, lots of reading, do your Job and you will EARN an 'A'. Computers are a must.

hes a good teacher, very informative. you must have access to internet to get the lecture guides etc...do not miss a class because the quizes count up!! and try not to print the material from home, theres tooooo many pages =P

Great course. Great teacher. Course is now taught Online. This is excellent. Course is easy to navigate, instructions are well laid out for success. Of all instructor, this one cares about student success. This is a MUST TAKE course.

A very good class. Connects Business to the real world and how government interferes with national success. Course is Online, well laid out. If you can read, comprehend and follow what is happening an 'A' is easy. Instructor has done a lot to assure student success. Do ALL of the Assignments and Discussions. Best instructor and Course!!!!

An excellent Course. Taught as a hybrid online. Come to class for Q/A sessions. If you are not self motivated and do not read take someone else. Best class in business. Great course. All work is really done over internet. Must take, the instructor really wants the student to succeed.

I learned a lot that I needed to in this class. I appreciate how he encouraged me to continue. A good class and a great teacher. A must take

Course instructions are clear and easy to follow. Class is actually filled with fun activities. Instructor's email notifications help inform and inspire throught he course hurdles. Course room is well designed with loads of information to one interested. Instructor's personal touch really kept me motivated to succeed. Enjoyed class discussions.

Majoring in Business Economics with an emphasis in accounting, this class has given me a wonderful overview of all the things I have ahead of me. I only which that I would have taken this class sooner! Instructor is really helpful. There is no guessing to this class; it is easy and fun.

Great class. well done and informative.

Great class, great teacher, easily done. Anyone who is willing to do the work can earn an 'A'. This is a must take, especially for online. You do not have to come to the school!

Great teacher, very detail oriented, and helpfull. Open book tests, hw, everything is open book, if you take online class. Helps you if you have questions, one of the best teachers ive seen so far. Just do the hw, over the weekend, and keep yourself ahead in class and you will get an easy A. Enjoy.

TAKE THIS CLASS! Easy 'A' if you do the work, and there is a lot covered. Each Week the Prof Communicates with the learner, sends out progress reports for you to know how you are doing. There is more communication in this class than the regular Face-to-Face. Highly recommended. The virtual courseroom is easy to navigate. All material is online!

TAKE HIS ONLINE CLASS! Easy 'A' if you do work; a lot to learn. Instructor maintains constant communication and sends progress reports and reminders. Wants each student to succeed. Easy Course Room with loads of materials online; even movies! Highly recommended.

Best class I have taken at Pierce. This is a MUST TAKE class. It is easy to follow, more discussion than my other classes. Taught Online. Learned more here. Prof communicates Weekly and More. Wants the student to succeed; But you have to do the work. Class is not for the lazy. EASY 'A'. Lots of help online!

First time at online classes & enrolled in 3. Of the 3 taken, he is the very best at responding & feedback. Always a prompt email response, answered all questions, and weekly update on what is required was immensely helpful. I was actually being taught & not left to blunder my way through the course on my own as with other classes.

My very first online class and he is always available to send you feedback. He let me make up work with extra credit too. The discussions and tests were pretty standard as long as you read the material. I wish he taught more business classes.

First online class I ever took; extremely easy. Very responsive and very helpful. Don't wait to the last minute to do your work. About an hour of work per week, unless you have a test. Didn't really learn much to be honest, but I needed this class. Again, put in effort, DONT PLAGIARIZE, and you will get an A. You only need the lecture guide.

This is an online class. Instructor communicates with each student twice a week via email. Answers questions quickly. Best class that I have taken, and it is structured for success. Only you must do the work. Lots of interaction with class. Assignments are fun. Tests are online. Must stay current and don't procrastinate. Great for working folk.

He is a great teacher. Do all the work and you will get a good grade. I took his online class. Like any other online class, there is a lot of reading but like what he'll tell you, ?Readers are Leaders, Leaders are Readers, and non-readers follow!?.

GREAT CLASS! Very fair class. Many good exercises and lot's to learn. Instructor maintains constant communication and sends progress reports and reminders. Wants each student to succeed. Easy Course Room with loads of materials online; even movies! Highly recommended.

Highly recommend. Was not interested in Business until I took this class. Every week something new and valuable. No hand holding here! I work full time and online is the way to go.

Incredible teacher. Best of the best. He will teach you everything you need to know, and being a self study class, you better learn.

Took this class online. Very easy. Prof. Sidmore uses his own textbook. As long as you can get passed all the typos and spelling errors. Once I realized the secret to this class, I stopped reading the text and still passed with a great grade.

This class has been great. it very well designed by the instructor and it is one of the best courses that college offers. I have never learned so much in one semester. He gives you a lot of work each week but it is interesting and it deals with everyday experiences. One of the best teachers I have had.

It is the best online course I have taken and I think it is well organized and excellent. prof Skidmore really tried to interact with students and always responded promptly to any concerns. I took this class because I needed an elective, I hated bus but now I lov it!

Course was great and very easy to navigate. Objectives are clear. The other pierce online instructors need to learn how to organize thier courses as prof skidmore has done...for success. Discussions are the best and are in depth. This is not just a book course, it has movies, clips, articles, papers, essays...simply wonderful and not at all boring?

Great Class! Well organized and designed. Instructor is there all the time. I never learned so much in one semester. This is not just a book course, it has movies, clips, articles, papers, essays...not at all boring? This course is for the self starter and leader. You work beyond yourself. One of the best teachers and class.

OMG do not take this class! He gives way too much work for an online class. Assignments are so irritating as well as his long winded emails! I wish I could have taken this class in person with another Prof. The website is archaic. If you have a life do not take this class! If you like to read a lot, then take this class.

Super Class! Well organized and designed. For online the Instructor is there all the time. This is not just a book course, it has movies, clips, articles, papers, essays...not at all boring? This course is for the self starter and leader. You work beyond yourself. One of the best teachers and class. NOT FOR THOSE WHO MUST BE LED!

Best online course I have taken. Prof has it well organized and he continually interacts with students. He responds quickly to any concerns. Great Discussions, I have a voice in this class where as in others you do not. If you won't work, you won't succeed and he wants you to succeed.

Excellent Class. Learned a lot. Loads of Work that is not busy work but clarifies the topics. This is an ONLINE class. I wish all my classes and instructors were like this class and Prof. Skidmore--he should be cloned. He is always available for help...just email. Phone conversations too. If you are not a reader or self starter don't take.

He is good, some things may not be clear on what he wants you to do in the class, but a few e-mails will clear things up. The book is absolutely necessary, but it isn't anything too strenuous. You learn a lot, just put in some effort.

Best instructor at Pierce. Constantly communicates with you. Answer emails quickly. Expects success. You must read. This is a college class and not a high school class offered in a college. Most helpful instructor I have had and he teaches only online. If you want to learn take him. If you are a coaster stay away. Only for adults.

Prof. Skidmore was my first Prof. I enjoyed his course immensely, got an "A." I consider him to be my "silent mentor". I love his "readers are leaders, the rest follow" motto. So, be prepared to read and you too will learn the Magic of Thinking Big. This felt like a business/self motivational course which inspired me to no end. I still email him.

I really hated this class when I was in it but am thankful for the info Skidmore provided. His text and info really helped me in the long wrong. Take Him.

I honestly enjoyed this class. It is time consuming but its very easy work. His quizzes and tests are straight out of the lecture guide and I literally mean word by word! The final was a take home test. It doesn't get much easier than that.

He is tough but fair. Lots of thing to take away from this course. He teaches organization skills, writing skills and some discipline, all things you will need in the business world. Don't take this course if you are lazy!

Prof. Skidmore provided a great way to teach a Business class and that is to work hard. After taking this class I am much more aware of deadlines because the work is expected at a certain time. You read the lecture guide with great articles about events around the world. Also The Magic Of Thinking Big is an amazing little book you'll get to take!!

AWESOME teacher! Cares deeply about his students and WANTS them to succeed. Come to him for help, and he will provide you with more help and clarity than you had expected. Easy A if you do the work. Although he wants you to succeed, he wont cry if you fail because he gives you all of the tools to succeed. So do all the work and you're golden!

I enjoyed taking Professor Skidmore's class. He really loves what he does. He welcomes all questions and does what he can to help. You need to pay attention in class and make sure you attend all of them. I recommend taking his class!

There is a lot of work but it is easy. You can pretty much copy and paste, he is okay with that. The class is easy but its annoying. you won't actually learn anything from this class and he only talks about himself. He is very blunt and very rude sometimes. He is also very republican so if you don't wan to listen to him I wouldn't take the class.

Phenomenal. I didn't get a good grade in the class because I'm lazy, but I'm retaking it and making sure I get an A. He's great. Sometimes does like to throw in his Republican identity but it can be overlooked

Prof Skidmore really cares about his students succeeding in his class. Do not take this class if you are lazy, though. Stay on top of your work, read, and don't fall behind. Easy class. You'll learn a lot listening to Prof Skidmore during lectures. Take this class!!

Took his online class and Hated the format of the website. Very confusing to use at first. Also you really have to read his emails to know all the homework, or else you might miss an assignment or test. It would be easier to use Moodle. At times he assigned a lot of homework all at once. Besides that he's pretty helpful and overall an okay teacher

A lot of information from various places. By that I mean you really need to be alert to the information that is being provided. You never know if there will be an assignment hidden in his E-mail. This is a great business lesson in that you learn to be thorough and repetitive. Feedback to the Prof is, clean the website. Too much incorrect info.

Never before has a teacher enlightened me so... Never before has a teacher incited this much passion, this much courage, and this much bravery into its students. That teacher's name? Richard Einstein Jefferson Reagan Skidmore. Words cannot describe how benevolent this Adonis-like god-emperor really is, in fact I'm not really sure why I'm trying.

Last one, Skidmore is the homie

Professor Skidmore is a very interesting insightful teacher. All the answers from the homework are directly from the book. Class discussions on the homework are very important and graded. Easy A if you read and participate. In class lectures have nothing to do with hw but attendance is still important.

It's been three years since I took his class and to this day I often reflect on that summer course. Skidmore cares about your future, he cares about his words and his character. Like teachers of old, with a profound and worldly dialect that further cements his passion for teaching "you" the student. It was rare and refreshing to say the least.
