This is his first semester teaching

Kepple is a very nice teacher. However his class has a lot of homework which you need to turn it in every class period. this sucks sometime because you have to read at least 30 pages a day. His quiz is not bad as long as you read his power point, but it is pop quizzes though.

Homeworks need to turn in ahead of lecture but it helps to keep pace when the exams come. Slides are really helpful for pop quizes and you got some buffer on homeworks and quizes if you miss them. Be on time, do the homework and you will be fine in the exams. Do the work and it will pay off.

Kepple is awesome!! Even though theres HW (all 140 classes have HW) Kepple actually explains how to do everything. He cares alot about his students and even drops A LOT of the HW assignments and quizzes. Its a fun class and that you will actually get something out of.

Probably one of the best professors i've had so far (4 years). He makes tons of notes/powerpoints available online, and is willing to answer all student concerns and questions. Lots of homework and quizzes, but they're easy if you do the reading. Good teacher, organized, and likes what he does.

awesome teacher. really clear teacher good personallity. great notes/powerpoints. quizzes and hw's that are not too hard but def. help you on the test. only if every SJSU professor was this helpful and clear

his quizzes are off the ppt. slides and exams are curved...a lot of homework but it helps your grade if you do them...drops the lowest 6 HW and 3 quizzes

This teacher is a very nice guy. He goes a little fast sometimes but is open to suggestion. Sometimes the class goes by pretty slow because he talks a bunch. The class is overall interesting, he is a good teacher, fair grader, challenging test giver.

Lost of quizzes (unannounced) but he goes over the questions if you ask him to right before the quiz. Go to class, do the homework, and read (skim) the book to do well.

He is a good teacher, kind of boring though. Assigns a lot of homework but it really helps your grade if you do it and gives you a few freebies along the way. Exams are curved, which helps a lot. Study your notes and you will do fine.

Very good prof. Dont need the book. Just read the ppt. slides for the test and u will do fine. One group project that is not to bad. He curves the midterms and the final

Good overview of materials with .ppt. Goes over mat'l fast, lots of stuff to learn. Tough group project, but team loved working together. Curved exams. Believed students were his "customer" and asked (a lot) for feedback.

Professor Kepple is awsome! He really cares about his students and make international business fun. I highly recommend him.

I took him my freshman year for Intro to Business and he was pretty awesome. His grading was a little bit tough, but overall I loved his class. He gives you two midterms and a final. Book is very crucial! Basically the entire lectures were based on powerpoint so you should print them out for class notes. Goes very fast!

Mr. Kepple is a great bus 10 teacher! take him if you need a bus 10 class. You have to buy the book and the lectures are on his powerpoint, so print it out if want. 3 exams all multiple choice and one final 100 multiple choice questions.

awesome professor. Take him and u wont regret it. beleive me. You will learn alot which will help you later

Great professor! All test material is straight off the PowerPoints and readings. Lectures are organized and straight forward. You must read the textbook to do well. One group project- a 40-50 page paper- choose your group members wisely! Overall, I highly recommend him.

I love Mr. Kepple, I wish I could take another class with him. he really cares about his student he calls us " his customers". at the beginning of the semester you might not like him, but after a while you get used to him and you will realize that he really cares about his students. His test are hard but he carves the grads a lot, so that really he

if you love hockey and the SHARKS you MUST take him :)!

He really cares about his students and extremely passionate about teaching. I personally did not like his teaching style. I found it hard to follow along with the slides. He grades the homework which is hard but it also requires you to read the text. Tests were very hard but keep in mind he curves! Oh ya and big sharks fan!

3 cases studies, he drops one. 3 tests and 1 comprehensive final that has questions from previous tests. 40-60 page paper about a country. Researching for the country and writing the paper is tough, he grades in detail. Class was okay except for the paper.

He tells you exactly what's on the midterms, and it's all on the slides. There are 3 case studies and he drops the lowest one. The country report is the hardest project so choose your teammates wisely, and make sure you start early! The final is 100 ?'s MC roughly half on new materials and half cumulative. Just study what he tells you.

He is a great person and a great teacher. His class is a lot of work, but everything is out of the book. HE LOVES THE SHARKS, and bring energy to an early morning class. BEST TEACHER ON CAMPUS.

Amazing professor. Gives fair amount of work. 3 case studies, he drops the lowest score, 3 test 50 q's or so VERY SIMPLE EXAMS!! he is not out to trick you, study the slides and you'r good! low book use; only for the case studies. HUGE group project, pick group wisely and you'll be fine. He expects a lot out of the project!

He is definitely tough!! If you like a challenge and want to learn about Operations Management, take him. Homework assignments every week, 5 cases and 2 midterms. Cases are relatively easy but Midterms are difficult. He is willing to help though, and he has lots of experience in his field. Huge sharks fan.

Pros:This is a fairly strenuous class with 4 exams, 3 cases, 1 group project, and no extra credit. I was happy to get a B+. The class was also very interesting and I learned a lot from it. Last, choose your group project teammates wisely because it will be 25% of your overall grade. Cons: His personality tends to have a sharp edge at times.

Lot's of homwork. He told us 15 hw/5 cases/3 exams and a final. Tough but fair grading, so far. Read book and ppt's ahead of class to get most out of his very-fast talking lectures. I like his "customer" focus. Very helpful when you ask a question.

The Exams were easy, huge curves. Homework was ok, as long as you do it with someone else. There were also 5 case studies. Overall, the class was lot of work. I'm not sure how Operational Management will help ME out in the real world, that's something im still wondering about, until then this class shall be considered useless. GOOD PROFESSOR!!

Great guy, awesome teacher, but as he will say on the first day, will be the hardest class you take in college. 3 midterms, and a final, 15 homework's and 5 cases. A ton of work, but the midterms have curves but it still a difficult class.

he is a great teacher and loves what he does. very helpful and encourages questions. there is a large amount of work 15 hw assignments, 5 cases, and 3 tests. The hw answers can be checked in the BSAC and that helps get the best grades. tests are curved but final has most of the questions from the previous tests on it.

Says it will be hard on first day but it is bearable! The curve makes up for any test trouble and the very first homework and case are much harder than the rest. I think Kepple tries to filter out the students who don't want to be there. He is a great teacher, my favorite at SJSU so far!

Very knowledgeable, experienced, nice and funny guy. He is serious on educating his students and gives concrete examples for everything. Its not tough if you go to class, listen and do the homework. Very happy with this teacher, I would take him again and I am hoping I can.

Best teacher i have had so far!loves the sharks! not sure of my grade but honestly don't care, i learned from my mistakes and i understood my stuff! :o

nice guy, very knowledgeable. 3 cases, 3 midterms, 1 comprehensive final which consists of 20 chapters. choose your group wisely, because your group mates will grade u at the end of the project. overall, touch class. dont take the class unless you have good memory, otherwise the 20 chapters final will kill you.

Nice Guy. Always ready to help. Fair grader. Exams based on text and lecture. 3 Midterms and 1 Final. HW and case studies help to raise the grade up.

Professor Kepple was very generous; he curved all the midterms and the final. Lots of homework to do. Overall, I liked his class.

Very nice and helpful guy. His lectures and homework is all online. Question on the homework quizzes and vague. Make sure you pick a good group for your business plan. Overall Kepple is a good teacher.

Kepple uses a "hybrid" class system. 1 chapter per class and an online quiz before class time. Read the chapter and you're fine. Decent grader and exams are based on the book. Great help when you need help on business project.

If you're a business major and you want to really learn about operation management, take him!! Allie/chili ;)) He makes you buy the 10 edition book, it's cheaper!

What can I say ... As I read before if you really want to learn take him. Also he curves, he explains everything well, nothing on the test is a big surprise!! ;) chili girl

Great professor. Knows his topic. Passionate and enthusiastic. He'll help you if you're not clear on anything and he's really understanding. Although he says get the txtbk. you don't need as long as you go over his slides and videos. Totally and completely worth spending money on him. I had a lot of fun with him!

He is very passionate about the subject, and wants to give his students his knowledge. Will answer any question you have as long as you ask. There is a big group project that can be hard depending on your group. Online quiz's twice a week. Boring lectures, but a good teacher. What you get out of the class is what you put in.

There are a lot of point opportunities so failing a test is not end of the world. His tests are hard but he curves. He always referred the material to his own experience. Lectures are not boring because he always adds some humors in.

He is a great professor. He added humor to his lectures and help was available whenever needed. Yes, it is a bit of work but he does curve.

OMG best professor ever so funny and really helpful. Long group project but he helps out if you have any questions. Class is really big so get their early so you get a good seat. No surprises on the exams.

Cool and funny man. Keeps a class of more than 100+ students engaged. Do the homework and study the cases they prep you well for the midterms and final. Would take the man again.

I took him freshman year for a lower division business class. He inspired me so much that I ended up taking him again. He values students' opinions. Not a lot of homework (just do your work and stop complaining! You're in college!) I am not a morning person but still manage to go to his morning class. Pros: He curves Very responsive Funny

I took him two years ago for 187 and he is one of my favorite professors at SJSU. He gives you real world examples and really makes everything clear. Now that I'm about to take my last semester and I get to take him for 140, I had to rate him. Take him if you want to learn and you won't regret it. I'm looking forward to 140, simply because of him.

Professer Kepple's lectures were often boring and I found it hard to focus in class. Assignments are well structured and not to heavy of a workload. There are also four tests and studying all the material is imperative but luckily he curves! Not a bad professor but not the best either. He is a nice guy and he cares about his students.

All 15 homework assignments and 3 video cases need to be turned in before class starts. Does not take late work. 3 MC Midterms, 1 cumulative MC final. Attending class is helpful cause some material on the tests is given from lectures. He will usually go off topic about Sharks and may even assign an "extra field assignment" to go to a Sharks game.

RK is actually a GOOD prof! HIGHLY recommend him for 160, he puts TONS of energy into his lectures. It doesn't feel like class sometimes but more of peer mentoring/life lessons. no presentations! This class definitely isn't hard to pass IF you go to each class and STUDY for every exam. Bad reviews obviously slackers. Thank you RK keep it up

Professor Kepple is a great choice if you really want to learn. You will have to be ready to do more work for this class than most of your others combined. He is very nice and understanding to students. No extra credit. ALOT OF HOMEWORK . 3 midterms, 2 case studies and long final

A humorous professor who genuinely cares about students. His lectures are entertaining and he plays music before class starts to help relax everyone. There's only a few assignments; all are straightforward. Tests are easy if you read the book (which is relatively light in material). Don't miss an assignment and you're set.

A lot of easy homework. Not so easy exams. 2 group projects (he seemed to be really passionate about this). Plays music at the beginning of class, lectures are pretty engaging. I thoroughly enjoyed the material that he taught.

For a Management Class, you could not ask for a better class. Lectures were based on general concepts, with additional experience stories from the professor. You have a clear syllabus to follow with weekly self-quizzes, two group projects, and four tests (of which you are delighted with a generous curve). A lasting effect with some key takeaways.
