tells u extactly whats gonna be on the test

HE DOES TELL YOU ALMOST EXACTLY WHATS ON THE TEST, HIS MIDTERMS ARE LIKE BOOKS *VERY* THICK! BUT HE IS PRETTY EASY ON HIS MARKING. HE WEIGHTS GROUP PROJECT ALITTLE UNFAIR SO YOU BETTER MAKE SURE YOU GET THE HIGHEST MARK FROM YOUR GROUP. OVERALL EASY B

He is vrey clear, and tell you what is going to be on the exam. Study hard on his notes and you will get well on theory part. Read textbook and you will do well on multip-choice, too. Very nice instrouctor!!Good!

He's nice, humor and funny. Always tries to make the class concentrate with his jokes. 2 Midterms which are easy (if you study hard on his notes first and then the text). A little picky on the group project.

he is a super nice teacher. His midterms and final are easy as long as you study hare for his notes and remember them then you will get a goof grade. He is also generous for the group project, if you put effor on it.

He is a veru good teacher. His midterms are easy; all u have to do is read the whole book.Only read, no need to remember...and remember his notes. That's it. U have to attend all his lecture and can't be late. He will reduce ur mark. take his course

got some nices notes....really clear w/ what he will put on the exams...got some funny examples to entertain the class...BUT..no quite fair with project marks

Shay rocks and he makes boring business class interesting. Perfect attendence with no late arrivals will guarantee your 6% of the course. Participate 4 more times during class and you'll get full 10% of participation

awesome prof, really good guy and clear, straightforward methods.

Two classes with Shay, in both of them an A... Brilliant!!!

Overall a good teacher and easy to talk to if there are questions about course material or assignments. Provides notes for every lecture and clearly explains course materials. Shay provides examples for his lectures and likes to make funny jokes during class. His exams ok, group project is very hard

His test seem pretty hard. Gives you free notes that are only somewhat helpful. Those multiple choice questions are brutal.

Ron's great. Excellent notes. Midterms and final consist of 2 parts, each worth 50%. The written part comes straight from your notes, multiple choice part comes straight from the book. Overall very nice prof, make sure u go to lecture, he is super nice to hard working students. He hates free riders. Watch out for the case study project.

I agree with Mr. Shays high expectations when it comes to professionalism in your presentation. After taking his class, I see flaws in "professional" presentations that does in fact hinder the outcome of what the speaker wants to express. If you want to succeed in business, a high level of standards are expected. I'm glad I took his class.

boring lectures. hard marker. not recommended.

Shay is a good teacher. I think he really enjoys teaching and does bring passion which I love to see. However, he is a hard marker. If you want to boost your GPA, take a different prof. His marks are guaranteed to be lower on average than others.

Great guy, funny sense of humor. approachable.

Mr.Shay is the BEST Professor at Langara!!! He is very funny and informative! Take this class with him, you won't regret!Just study his notes and you will do well!

Seems like a decent guy. Lectures are concise and filled with relevant examples. You can't really ask for much more.

Most of the negative raters don't get the point which is: In the business world you will meet all sorts of ****s...so your job as a leader (if you get to be one..a good one!)is to adapt and build a great relationship with your staff. So perhaps you miss the point of you being in college...your're being trained right now, so suck it up dudes(ettes)

i think ron is a fair marker, just go to class to get the notes and you will get an A. presenation marks are marked fairly as well as he gives part marks for effort!

Excellent and a fair instructor, but little strict. Just follow the guidelines...likes regular students.

I highly recomment to take his class,.He make the lecture very interesting.He always give u a hint to get a good mark in the test.He's an excellent teacher i've ever had.

First off, he's really funny. And it's even funnier when he tries. He teaches pretty well -- don't bother taking notes because he prints and hands notes for you anyway. But, you have to read the text because that's the key ingredient to exams; his notes are standard but the book puts them in detail. He's also a very easygoing teacher!

he is an adverage prof. his explantion helps to understand the material. but, he sometimes doesn't even prepare for lectures. i feel like i even read the textbook more carefuly than he does. his group projects really helps students to understand the important points of marketing. he gives hints. exams are not hard. he can teach,but he is quite lazy

Teacher was quite good, He makes a alot of jokes and gives the same examples over and over again.Very helpfull if you go and talk to him and in class. You need the text book for the midterms the mult choice is all book. Short answer is all based on his own notes he gives (study these) presentations are an easy mark if you do the work! Good teacher

He's clear about what you need to know, and tells you what will be on exams. The course itself is filled with a little bit about a lot of different things, so keeping up with readings is key. Definitely stern, but has a sense of humour. Not the easiest, unless you try really hard, but this is one of the most straight forward classes I've had.

such an easy class, and i'm not even a business student. sure, it's not very interesting and he tells the same stories, but marketing isn't exciting anyways. he gives you all the notes you need, and yes attendance is mandatory but if you're paying for a class why wouldn't you go? nice guy and super helpful if you are averagely respectful to him.

Ron is a fair teacher who will tell you exactly what is expected. If you miss classes or are late to class, he advises you in the first class that you'll be penalized after the first instance. Short-answer test questions come from his notes and multiple-choice from reading the chapters in the book. He doesn't take crap so show up and do the work!

I am so glad I took this course with Ron. He is a great teacher, very clear on what is expected of you and what is on the test. Simple, if you don't study and don't care about your education then, surprise, you won't do well. Definitely take a class with him, he really knows the field and makes the class interesting. How many teachers do that?

Nice teacher, approachable. If you have basic business logic, textbook read is not even required. I got 75% average without ever reading the book. If you know nothing about business, and you are lazy, it's better to avoid him. People who have retail experience would be a plus.

Overall, great professor. Clear and precise teaching ability. Will emphasis on important points. Gives expectations and tests outlines ahead of time. Gives great notes to study off of. Focusing on his notes and skimming over the text book will easily earn you a good mark. Easy course; recommended.

If you aren't interested in Marketing, don't take him, because he only lectures; that's it. I like his style of teaching because he relates his stories with his lectures, and has great knowledge about the field. If you do everything he tells you to do, then it should be an easy A. Strict, but his classes are worth taking. Bring water to stay awake.

To me, Mr. Shay was a great teacher. I really liked the fact that he always provided excellent real-world examples when discussing Marketing concepts in class. Though he is strict, he has valid reason for it. Do your textbook readings, case-studies, and just keep up with everything and you'll easily land a A+ in his class.

The midterms are very long and hard. Memorize his notes in and out and you'll do good in class. Also the course project will be a huge chunk of your mark so spend alot of time working on that. Final exam is long but fair and a lot less difficult than his midterms.

His class is pretty boring, just hands out notes and then reads them the whole class...exams are super long and challenging (had a 50 multiple choice + ~ 5 pages written answers for a midterm) Overall he's a decent teacher. Just super boring.

OK so I've taken two classes with him, he knows his stuff don't get me wrong. But if you cant read a book and be able to recite it exactly word for word then you are screwed. He is very knowledgeable but dont get on his bad side. Usually just under half of the class fails the first midterm. Its not that terrible, its just lots of tough work.

Ron is a GREAT instructor. Very knowledgeable and thorough. You're guaranteed at least a B+ by studying his NOTES, doing your readings and showing up to class. In fact, you can't even get his notes if you don't show up so I highly recommend that you do!

Make sure to read the textbook. Exams are mixed of subjective and multiple choice types and tend to be long. He is a more of a soft-speaker so the lectures can get a little boring at times and on the other hand can be funny too. off-topic: He looks exactly like a cross between George Bush and Brian Wilson :)

His teaching style is not boring. The OB is boring itself and he makes it much more interesting. Ron has many real experience and it's really useful to help students understand the boring concepts. The only thing is that his style is quite old -fashion, and ask you to sit a same place every class. But it's not a big deal, he's good.

His class is very interesting. A very nice instructor. the teaching style is really good. if you will attend every class then you can easily pass the course. the exam is the mixture of multiple-choice, subjective questions and based on knowledge.

Ron is a good instructor. Please call him tough grader but you will be fine if you follow what he wants. I had 2 classes with him, OB and Marketing and I would take any classes he teaches. He knows the subjects and give many good industrial example. I like him.

People call him hard marker but I like him. I took 2 courses with him Org Behaviour & Marketing. Honestly these course were the only course I learned something practical. I would definitely recommend him, He knows what he teaches and have enough knowledge. But you should study and do assignment to get a good mark. I would take any course he taught

I don't know why the ratings are so bad. he is a Very calm professor, the course itself is very theoretical so you need to study each chapter in depth. the tests are fairly easy if you went through the material. Very structured outline of the course and on a good pace. He is very helpful and loves interactions. Highly recommend him.

Ron is a very good prof. I was scared as this course was entirely online but he helped a lot. His lecture videos are really good, and his exams are mostly from the lecture notes with some stuff from the textbook and quiz. He knows who is doing how in class and is very strict about free riders when it comes to the group project.

I recommend him! He is direct, concise, clear communication, tells you what he expects and how he grades, and makes the class as fun as he can with cool case studies and situations to negotiate on! Whether it be a Boeing 777 or a Corvette C8! Thank you Ron.

Makes great lectures that actually complements the book. If you want to learn from a teaching prof, this is a great choice. Very professional with his approach with students. A little stiff though and doesn't tolerate slackers.

good professor, attendance is mandatory, gives awesome lectures based on the book but more to a tough grader.

He was great! I recommend him. I think the hardest part of this course is getting through his lectures. But if you read the textbook (just borrow from the library, older editions are just as useful), the ppt slides, and make notes of the things he says in class, you will do well in his tests. He does a good job at teaching you negotiation skills.

He was a great prof! there was one group project but it wasn't too bad. he has a great policy for group partners who are not putting in their share of the work. midterms and finals relatively easy if you read all the material he gives you.

Attendance is graded. There's one big project which isn't too bad. If you pay attention to rubric you'll be good. Weekly online quizzes are pretty easy as well. Exams are the same questions from the quizzes, so just prepare with the textbook and you should be good. Downside: lectures are just going off the slides, and there's a lot of content.

Ron is very straightforward in his grading criteria and what he expects to see from your papers. To ensure fairness to students in a group project, he is seriously great at spotting who is an irresponsible/non-contributive one for the group project. Attendance matters. Midterm/Final are fairly easy if you really study for the course.
