Really great and involved professor. Class is not difficulty, three tests are heavy, but nothing is impossible with the help of the internet. Very inspirational and genuinely cares for his students. I took the 5:30-8:15 class once a week so attendance is crucial. Do your work, put in the effort, class will be easy.

Athanasios is probably one of my favorite professors I have taken in college thus far. Along with the material he tends to throw in life lessons and interesting discussions. All the grades are even in points as well. Follow the syllabus directions for each assignment EXACTLY and you will most likely get an A. You will learn more than you think.

The greatest class I've ever taken because of the professor, such an amazing character. Most caring and professional guy out there. Life changing lectures.

Athanasios is one of my favorite professors. He's very engaging, and I learned many valuable things from his class. I feel like my communication skills bettered after this class. There are 3 tests, which are completely doable if you take notes from the book. There are also 3 easy assignments and one huge, more difficult project.

Really dives down into soft skills. Lots of life advice in class and really encourages free discussion. He is a TOUGH grader, but also understanding. Class lead chapter presentations are done to learn knowledge and made up of tests and projects.

Tests are heavy and based on the book, so read carefully the book. On the other hand, the professor is very inspirational and give advices that will help you in the future. I will definitely take this class.

I enjoyed this class. Professor Athanasios is actually really easy to talk to. I read a review that he doesnt like being disagreed with and that cant be further from the truth. If you do the work you will pass but if you are someone who slacks off you will struggle badly. Even still he seems like he would try to help you pass.

He is amazing!! Very stylish and very inspirational. He does a lot of open discussions so don't be scared to talk in class. Very specific on what and how he wants assignments But overall Great guy!

Easily the best professor Ive ever had. He keeps the lectures engaging on topics that would normally be mundane. His projects are a bit difficult but nothing too crazy.

Mr. Athanasios will not only teach you the knowledge for passing this class, but he will also give you the knowledge to be successful in the business world. The material of this class is not hard, but work must be put in to receive the grade you want. If you want to be successful in your future career in business, TAKE THIS COURSE.

Shawn Athanasios is a very unique and compelling professor. He always shows up well dressed and poised. At first, I questioned his teaching style but as the semester progressed I began to appreciate it more and more. I found myself analyzing my future and the goals I had set for my own life. As a business owner, I highly recommend taking this class

Mr. Athanasios has hands down been my favorite professor in my 3 years of college. His assignments were challenging at times, but they were very few of them. He did a fantastic job truly teaching business communication; his lectures were based on his experience and not the textbook. With that said, he still uses the textbook for tests which i liked

Unfortunately, the covid situation made the class almost totally online. I would've gotten more out of it had it been totally in person. Communication is a subject that requires a lot of attention to detail, and this professor understands that. He definitely makes you put in the effort, and his class was one of the harder ones I've taken so far.

Shawn Athanasios is a rose among thorns.. The energy that he brings to the classroom is unparalleled, and that energy stays with you after you've left. If you're interested in learning things that you will use for the rest of your life, this class is for you. People like Athanasios are rare these days.. don't miss your opportunity to meet him.

I took his class online. We had a couple of projects but they were fairly easy if you read the book chapters. The tests are easy if you read the chapters for it. The hw is very easy. He emails back almost immediately and answers your questions that you may ask. As long as you put some effort in the class and care about your grade youll be good!

taking classes during Covid is so annoying but this professor has been a light at the end of the tunnel for me. If you want to learn how to properly communicate in business this is the Professor you need. He has supported me all semester in and out of the classroom well zoom room now a days. Anyways he responds quicker than anybody and he cares.

Lots of real world application from Professor Athanasios' class. Whole semester was laid out with descriptions of all assignments at the very beginning. Exams were difficult when I neglected the textbook, but they didn't make or break my grade. I got more out of this class then I put in.

Professor Athanasios is one of the most kind, understanding, and well spoken professors I have had in my 4 years at UNG. He truly cares for his students and wants you to succeed in the workplace. He brings real world experiences to the classroom and meaning to the text that you read. I would take Professor Athanasios' class again in a heartbeat.

Great professor and uses a different teaching style to give the material to the class. If youre good at presenting, this class is a breeze. If not, better start practicing. I dont agree with everything he talks about but he appreciates you not agreeing.

I took this class online. 3 projects, 3 exams, and 4 Discussions. The exams are difficult, but if you read the textbook chapters, you will do well. The projects are time consuming, but you will do fine if you READ THE DIRECTIONS!! You can get an A if you put in the work, but it's not an easy A. I would definitely take this class again! Great prof!

Every class, he says, may the force be with you! Dynamic, engaging classroom experience. Never a dull moment learning the concepts. I do wish he made it easier to study for tests. I wish he would release his powerpoints to study the material. You have to present three times. This course helps prepare you for life.

Professor Athanasios was a great professor. I really enjoyed his class and would take it again honestly just because he is a great guy. He gives wonderful life advice while giving lectures if you pay attention. Not a hard class to pass, just do the work and come to class! Loved this class.

Professor Athanasios is awesome! If you're looking for a fun, yet challenging class, this one is for you. Athanasios is very patient and understanding. Just do your work and be on time for assignments and you will do good. Focus on reading, not memorizing in the book. Hope this helps.

This Professor is very engaging and encourages discourse. He also gives life and career advice for his students so they strive for success. Assignments are well detailed and you can get an easy A if you follow the instructions and put in effort. Exams are very difficult, be sure to read the textbook. Overall, very caring professor. Amazing class.

Listen friend: Ignore the negative reviews. He is a tough but fair grader in every sense of the word and rewards the hard work you put into the class and his lectures. If you walk away with even 10% of the value his teachings in both academia and in life have instilled in me, you will come out as a better student and insightful person as a result.

TAKE HIM!! His class is challenging, but I have never had a professor as great as him in my entire life. His assignments and tests are hard, but if you pay attention and do the work, you will do great. This class will not only prepare me for the business world, but we discuss so many different topics that will help me in life as a whole.

Professor Athanasios is genuinely my favorite college teacher. His lectures are inspirational in the way he relates the material to your life. If you are going to take this class, there is no better professor. I believe this class should be a necessity because of the importance of what we learn. He will give you useful skills required in life!

10/10, great professor, really makes you think. He isn't the easiest out there but with some effort there is no reason you cant get an A.

Professor Athanasios has a thorough understanding of both business and standard communication. He understands that the subject is best taught through experience rather than lecture and offers plenty of opportunities to practice communicating. Furthermore, he shows genuine enthusiasm for both the content and the students learning.

If I could give Professor Athanasios a million stars, I most definitely would! His class makes you think, and (in my opinion) was very motivating. He pushes for nothing but greatness inside and outside of the classroom. Tests overall were average, if you read the chapters as you go you are guaranteed a B+ or A!

I really enjoyed his class! Even though the course consisted of presenting in front of an audience at the end of the day I knew that it would help me enhance my presentation skills so that I can use these skills in my future career. Excellent Professor, and really cares about the students and I would most definitely take him again.

AMAZING person. So inspirational. Wants to help you be a better person and student. Presentations were nerve racking but he helped you through them. Is ALWAYS there to help. Assignments were SO clear and so were his expectations. He changed my perspective on so many things and I am so glad I had the opportunity to learn from him.

He was a great professor he really cares about his students. He gives amazing lessons and genuinely cares to teach you to think for yourself and find different ways of seeing things. Class is never boring with him as he makes it interesting and always has something to talk about. The class was easy all he asked was for us to participate and listen

If you have the option to take Professor Athanasios, DO IT! I loved this class and how he taught it, it offered lots of opportunities for grades to help keep your grade up. He is very understanding if you miss class do to being sick or care troubles like I had, but I did show up every other class I could. The topics were very interesting in class!

This class was my favorite business class I have ever taken! Prof. Athanasios brought so many cool topics to discuss in class and the projects were very very manageable. The grades were valid for what we were doing and pretty easy grades, there is also a HUGE extra credit opportunity towards the grade of the class at the end! 1000/10 recommend!

Pretty laid back class. Homeworks are very long but easy. Tests are kind of hard, but he curved the grade. There are some things he is very particular about. I wouldn't not recommend him.

Professor Athanasios is a great professor! He truly leans into the classroom experience and what it should be. He works hard to engage the students in conversation while encouraging them and motivating them. If you participate and give into the conversation in the classroom; he really does make class fun. I suggest taking it in person.

Professor Athanasios is big on getting the class involved in discussions and goes into detail on each chapter and how it can be applied to real-life. He is very encouragaing and wishes for the best in his students. Tests can be more challenging, but you're able to make up for them with the assigned speeches and projects along with homework.

Great professor! He really wants you to succeed and he will make you do work. The work is easy as long as you follow the examples and directions. He gives really good life advice and makes learning fun. Class feels shorts because of how entertaining he makes it.

Professor Athanasios is an amazing option for an in person class. He gives a lot of valuable insight on emotional intelligence and relationship management which will be extremely beneficial for navigating business connections. It is a very engaging class, just be sure to follow his guidelines for grading and you will do great!

While this professor is relatively strict with his grading he does push for his students to be successful and, even in my online class, made time to meet with me to discuss his goals for the class as well as how it relates to our success in our careers. His class is not an "easy A", but I felt helped prepare me for life after college very well.

This is basically a public speaking class. Just follow all instructions and you can pass this class easily. You really do have to read the textbook for your tests :(

Professor Athanasios made an introduction course one of the most practically useful courses I've taken after over 60 credit hrs. Future entrepreneurs, managers, and leaders should take his course because he is a great example of a fair, kind, and productive leader. You'll need to stay ahead on assignments and read the textbook to get a good grade.

He's a great professor. I'm bummed to see how many bad reviews he has. He holds his students to a high standard, yes, but it prepares you for the real world. I missed a test and he was so understanding about it. You don't find professors like that. Read the rubrics, the stuff you do is actually helpful. Don't let the negativity here scare you!

He has 2 class presentations in his course, 1 is with a group and 1 is the final grade. Sounds scary, but as long as you practice, it's all good. He asks very thought-provoking questions, which help me follow along with the material. He provides practice tests to prepare you for his tests, and some of those questions are on the actual test.

Great professor! Take this class if you really want to learn about the business world. You choose your group for the presentation and give a final speech. Presenting isn't my thing, but it's doable. He's funny, the class is practical, and you'll learn a lot. Hard to fail!
