If I could describe a perfect day, it would be called a Robert Campbell day. In the first lecture, he made it clear his goal is to make this the best class in UCSD, and he has gone beyond what I had expected. He is one of the few remaining conservative professors, but he challenges both sides of the arguments, which helps our intellect grow.

Professor Campbell really cares about his students. Despite remote learning being hard on him, he tried his best to make it entertaining for his students. Tests are not difficult as long as you pay attention to class or read the book. You have to write 2 papers, but they are not harshly graded at all.

Professor was informative and clearly passionate about the subject. He was a little political at times, but made it clear that those were his own beliefs and not part of the lessons. Exams and papers were very easy, and heavily application-based rather than memorization. The required reading is actually interesting, and I enjoyed it.

I dont know if the good ratings are from him, but he wasnt a great professor. I learned more about history of titanic and his political views than actual ethics. Attendance is mandatory & recordings cant be accessed unless youre sick and have a family emergency. Some students enjoyed him, I found his class to be a waste of time.

Professor "Coach" Campbell is a really smart guy and its honestly one of the only classes I've taken that I think I can actually apply to real life. He is a really interesting dude with some pretty cool stories from what he used to do for work. I enjoyed taking his class and would recommend it to anyone who needs to take a MGT class.

To be fair, this class is easy and he cares about his students. The essays are long, but doable and graded fairly. The professor himself though...yikes. He makes his political opinions VERY clear and goes on tangents talking about himself and all his real world experience. Take a shot everytime he mentions the 'real world of business.'

If you can be mature and leave your political views at the door, Campbell is one of the best professors on campus. He is very experienced in his field and gives great advice. MGT itself is very easy, just do the short readings that are actually interesting, go to lecture, and know how to write decent essay for an easy A.

He seems like a nice man but is VERY political. Went off topic in class and relies heavily on videos. The only grades are two papers and two multiple choice tests which are VERY specific.

It's important to actually read the book and attend as many lectures as you can or you will miss points on the tests.

Prof Campbell is a very kind and ethical man. Be sure to read the two books for this class, attend lecture, and participate! Aside from the reading, the class has a minimal workload. Two complaints: 1) Graded by few things so if you mess up early it's hard to come back. 2) Some test q's were ambiguous/had tricky wording.

If you want an A in the course, you need to perform well on all assignments/exams. Scares you at the beginning of the course making it seem harder than is but if you attend lecture you should be fine. Lectures are case study driven. Topics in the book that may be in exams will only be discussed if brought up in class.
