Tough & Best. If you can't handle this course, you don't deserve an MBA.

The toughest class I've taken, but the most rewarding. Not a cakewalk.

Tough course, hard work is rewarded. Have to EARN your grade!

Difficult class and lots of assignment, but it's worth it.

He is the best professor that I have ever had.

Hang in there b/c he grades easy at the end.

This is a REAL MBA class. Not the typicial blow-off, go-through-the-motions cls.

Samir is great - get to know him outside of class. Yes, he's intimidating with his bluntness, but take it with a grain of salt and you'll be fine. He just wants to get the best from you! I learned a lot in this class!

Very knowledgable professor. As demanding as grad course should be. He is friendly, you just have to earn his respect. Not good for slackers.

Very demanding, but fair and he teaches you a lot. I would recommend it to those who want to get the skills needed to be successful.

He is really tough but so interessant and open-minded. He teaches how to be more critical about what we can learn from the media and that's essential!!

Upfront about the demands that will be placed upon you. Ask questions, see him during office hours, do the work and keep up on the reading. Red book is rarely talked about. Learned alot. Don't be let down after the first test, it gets easier.

HARVARD CLASS!!! You must be very ready to commit yourself. Don't think you will get by with minimal effort, he expects hard, dedicated students wanting to learn. Hard, but well worth the time...

The class requires effort, organization, and preparation. It's a graduate-level class. Dr. IsHak will challenge you, but is very willing to meet with students outside of class. If you want to learn and be challenged, take the class.

Not for slackers - any good student will enjoy his class; fakers will be humiliated. It's a lot of work, but worth it. Bring your testosterone, and be ready to logically argue your opinion. Best prof. at GVSU.

For the love of god, make sure you follow his instructions and read everything! He's very anal and can be a bit of a a-hole, but it's not all bad. Lectures and Discussion are among the best and most interesting i've ever had. Get on his good side though. Also, stick with him, it gets easier.

It is the course that requires a lot, not necessarily the professor. You have to make plenty of time to study! I do not recommend the summer course because the requirements are the same only with less time. However, I highly recommend this professor. It's a challenge, but it is honest. You get what you put into it. NOT FOR SLACKERS!

If you are looking to coast through a class without much work, this is not for you. If you don't mind keeping up with reading, this is an excellent class.

Best professor I've ever had. If the assignments seem unclear, just go talk to him. Besides, he appreciates students coming to his office hours, it will reflect in your grading. In response to people saying its impossible, thats not true. I barely have a 3.0 but I pulled an A in his class...it just takes EFFORT

If you can say his name, you'll get an A. Best teacher i have did have. Real cute...i mean HOTTIE with a BODY. girls...eat him right up!!

Best class/best prof I have ever had. He is so challenging and actually makes you think rather than memorize garbage like most business profs. Extremely intelligent, amazing stories & experiences. He humiliates dumb kids who are not articulate, cannot enunciate or form a proper question. It is great! DO NOT TAKE HIM IF YOU WANT AN EASY A.

This class is not that terrible. Prof Ishak is a very funny guy, who has lots of valuable business work experience. The test are straight out of the book, and if you study you should be able to get a B. The first few weeks are intimidating, but he gets alot better and is helpful if you ask.

IsHak is by far the best professor I have ever had. He grades very hard, and his classes are difficult, but he holds a WEALTH of knowledge. He has a passion for what he does and is the BEST professor at GVSU. Anyone is lucky to have him as a professor, you will learn so much! If you want your grade to be higher go meet with him during office hours!

the best and most intellectual ever. I am graduating this smester. He is the professor I learned from the most. Demanding, but fair.

The best professor ever at the universtiy. Super knowledge and experience. very demanding and fair. Do not take if not serious to learn. World traveller and brings the world to yu in a classroom. Considerate of his students' needs and accomodate special circumstnces Cannot tolerate idiots.

I HAVE JUST FINISHED THE COURSE.I was scared at the beginning. After first three weeks I felt comfortable. Yes I had to work my tail off more than any other course in GVSU. But very worthy and best I have taken so far. He has his reputation as demanding. The first meeting he tells you what is expected in a contractual way.Very fair,helping,super.

jUST FINISHED PREPARING for final last before graduating. I wish I had Pro.ISHAK for more courses. The one prof. I shall remember for his caring and really educating me to think and apply. Serious, demanding,charming but fair.

Professor Ishak made me think and work more than any other prof but I learned most from him.helpful,available,friendly,funny,demanding,fair,pushes you to earn your grade. I am lucky to had him before graduating.

I read teh past comments. Very unfair to p[rof. He is very helpful to those who are serious and willing to learn. Such a student must not take this course. I bet I know who wrote it..This student was he was abnoxious, rude,and cheating. I wish we have more like Professor Ishak to learn from.

I've taken both 331 and 466 from Dr. IsHak and received an "A" in each class. It can be done, but only by reading the text thoroughly and writing quality, detailed papers. He has so much to teach those who are willing to learn from his vast career and educational experience. Con: confusing communication about assignments at times, so ask questions

I just started Grad School and was thinking about Prof.Ishak. He was my toughest professor at GVSU but the only one who accurately prepared me for the workforce, and graduate school. I have no doubt that he is part of the reason I have excelled in my career thus far. He will help you-if you are willing to work hard to help yourself.

If you want an easy A, this is definitely not your class. If you're looking for a challenge, take his class. I walked away with an A from his class. I am so honored to have had such a ridiculously successful man as a professor. His assignments are deadly. But if you're willing to do the work, it will definitely be worth your time.

Need to put 200% effort. At least 15-20 hrs in the weekend and 2-3 hours in the week.Very demanding and will keep challenging the entire semester. Be prepared in every class if you don't want to be embarrassed in the class.He helps immensely with the class matter but not the personal issues in dealing with the class. Buckle up for a roller coaster.

This professor is just amazing. Lots of people don't like this classe because it is exigent. But it is not superficial and you learn a lot of thing. I highly recommend this professor, but be prepared for this class!

Very hard prof, this class was a monster however i stuck it out and found it to be very rewarding. you learn a lot! lots of reading and memorizing chapters for exams but once you figure it out its not so bad. The prof and his assignments were very demanding. Theres no b.s. in the class, and it was very challenging but im glad i took it

Sammy is a prime example of how it's better to be feared than to be loved. At the start of the semester, he clearly laid out his expectations and grade requirements (which were very high), but he was not unfair or unwilling to talk one on one. You were required to participate in class and read a chapter every week. Very hard, but I learned a lot.
