Excellent professor, probably the most difficult at BCC. Brilliant business man with extensive knowledge. You will walk out of this class a professional if you take it seriously. Tests are very difficult and this class is not for the non studiers or people looking for an easy A. If you are lazy, don't take it and miss a great opportunity.

I'm a good student, always on time always paying attention and let me tell you this guy is worthless. He just uses the powerpoints that come with the book, sort of rereads them and just spews nonsense for 90 mins. The best piece of advice I can give you is, find out what chapters the test is on and read. But your actually better off not taking him.

Honestly, the class is not an easy A. He is extremely helpful, and is willing to go over the test with you during office hours if you did poorly. You MUST read the textbook BEFORE each class. If not, you'll be lost and due terribly on the tests. He offers extra credit on the tests to students who are on time. Tests can be hard. Optional final exam.

Okay so if you are stuck with this guy, good luck. BOOK IS MANDATORY TO GET AN A, but not needed in class. This Professor is TOUGH, MEAN but if you show him your dedication to hard work, he may be nice to you. In order to get an A: Ask him what chapters from the book the test will be on. Outline every chapter and teach yourself. Listen in class.

I read the reviews here and thought it couldn't possibly be that bad. It is. I've had enough of his rude, sarcastic, and pedantic demeanor.
