Great teacher and great guy! the material covered may not seem directly related to IMS but it is. You have to go beyond the surface to see what he was trying to teach us! tests were easy, identical to reviews. All grading assignments were easy. Lots of extra credit opp. If you scored badly in this course you are slow or an underachiever.

I failed his class but I know that it was my own lack of work rather than his instruction. When I get to re-take the class I want to take him again as he really does care about students & wants us to be successful. I wish that I had taken his class more seriously &done a good paper that could be presented at a major conference. Thank you Dr S.

If you want an easy class then take someone else but if you want to learn & move ahead in your career then take Dr. Shawn while you have the chance. With his connections & excellent teaching skills I think that he'll move to a higher level university soon as no one else here at UTD gets students to perform at such high levels. He is a Tier 1 prof

Who cares about UG UTD students? Dr Shawn does. He goes the extra mile & seeks to build up his students as well as helping us to differentiate ourselves in the marketplace. He brings International Business to life & doesn't just read from the slides. He is dynamic & willing to adjust the class to our needs.

Right now I am angry as I don't get to take him for BPS & I'd have loved to take him again to keep working on my research paper. His class is like no other one here at UTD as he knows what he is talking about & has great connections. Take his classes & get involved in the research as Harvard, Oxford, or Cambridge make a big impact on perceptions.

He's not like any other profs here on campus. He cares & goes out of his way to help students. The difference between doing well in his class versus not doing well is certainly willingness to do the work. He is challenging but there is value in the hard work. You can come out of his class with a pub or a paper at a great conference. Think!

Incredible prof. He cares about students & is passionate about research. If you want an easy A run away from his class. You have to do work but it can be fun, bring in money, & educate you to think differently. He doesn't just read from the Powerpoints. He reminds me of the best profs I had at College Station.

Wonderful professor. He is tough but he cares. You'll get the chance to do things that no other profs let you do. Do all of the assessments go to the conferences, and give him great evals. Take any class he teaches.

Class is one of the most unusual that I have had as it has presented opportunities that no other prof. has offered to undergraduates. Has previous students who OWN businesses talk about their experiences as well as having major business owners come to talk.

He is the best, reviews are the same as the test. He gives a lot of surveys, which I later enjoyed it. Easy to pass, unless you don't solve the review questions.

My first impression of him wasn't great. As the semester progressed, I began to appreciate his class. Great exam reviews, lots of extra credit opportunities, interesting projects. Super nice guy.

Great professor. Great opportunities in class. He cares about students and gives us opportunities in terms of research no other prof. offers.

The class has a lot of work like surveys, participations, surveys, research, but he makes it easy to do as long as you follow directions. He is always teaching stuff about other cultures which enriches your knowledge. He pushes you to have goals and think bigger. Provides opportunities and supports you to present research which is great. Take it.

Wonderful class & professor. You take a lot of surveys to learn about yourself, do research papers, try interesting foods, & learn a lot. He has great connections and has even done work with the Exec. Office of the President National Security Division and received awards from the former President of the EU. Great researcher, watch his TED talk.

Best professor I have had in my school years. He is interested in students and has much to offer, it's life changing. Difficulty would be research papers, but if you are great at them, many opportunities will come, so do the papers. Everything else is easy, and you get to try food from different places in the world. Fun class, take it!

I took his class twice. It is tough but I learned so much that I wanted to take it from him again the second time. He has lots of connections going all the way to the General Accounting Accounting office and the former EU President. Take the research seriously & submit your work to a conference & journal. It is worth the work.

I'd take anything he taught. It is a life changing experience. You learn about research, yourself, and IB. The food can be wack but some is good. Do the research and the surveys. Do the extra credit. Great connections to the real world. At first I thought that he was weird but then you get like him & realize that you're learning.

Do everything that he asks. It is designed to help you. I took him for IB & Strategy. While other profs might teach you about IB & Strategy he trains you to be strategic & behave globally. There are lots of surveys but not as many as there were the first semester. They are to help you. Submit your papers. Take him while he is still at UTD.

Take any class he teachs while he is at UTD. He doesn't disriminate or play favorites. Do the work & you can earn the grade. Regarless of where you are from he'll treat you fairly & bring in things that you've never seen or tasted. IT is a lot of work but it is designed to help you. He doesn't make the best first impression. Research!

Listen to everything that he says & take him up on research opportunities. He is the only prof that you'll have at UTD who goes out of his way to help advance your career and develop you professionally. Surveys are long & can be confusing but the results make it worth it. He cares!

Research & Surveys, research & surveys. You learn about IB, ent, ethics, what you might want to do for a career, & have the potential to present a paper at Cambridge or Harvard. He is a champion of building up the university's reputation & increased the giving rate from under 1% to 23.7%. Don't be scared. Do what he asks & you'll be fine.

Great professor & class. Expect to do research & interact with business leaders. He helps you to set goals and learn how to achieve them. You try foods from around the world and get to hear about experiences from around the world. If you don't participate you'll likely shoot yourself in the foot.

You get what you put in to the class. I wish that I had done more of the extra credit and taken advantage of the opportunities to present papers at conferences. The class is pretty straightforward and he'll give you every chance to succeed. You have surveys, research papers, a few tests, a country study, & great international foods. Take him.

He gives you opportunities like no other prof. at this or any other u. Take his classes & broaden your experiences. He treats people fairly & goes out of his way to provide great opportunities for students. Food can be strange but it is good to try. He cares & it shows. You learn material but also about life & research. Attend classes.

His cookies are the greatest. They make taking his tests worth sitting through. Take advantage of the opportunities that he'll present to you & do the exercises seriously. Extra credit is good as well. You learn about yourself & learn the importance of marketing yourself while making a difference. Research paper is tough but worth the work.

Prof care about students & learning. Take advantage of the learning opportunities and the conferences. Who else gets students to go to Harvard and Cambridge to present research papers and has major speakers coming to class. Learning how to analyze data and learning about fund raising were useful skills that have helped me in my career.

Its honestly an easy A, just do the assignments. Show up to class, he gives test answers, and free snacks. The biggest thing, try to get into one of his business confrence presentations. They're easy and are LITERALLY gold on your resume. He's very well connected and can push your papers into these conferences. One of UTD's best and brightest

Good professor

Great Professor. Take advantage of the presentation options that he gives you, do ALL the work and you'll be fine.

His class isn't tough but it requires a lot of work. Do the extra credit, do a good job on the research paper, present your paper at Cambridge or Harvard, and do the study guides & you'll be fine. His classes rule on the Business Strategy Game. Try get your paper published.

Individuals who complain about him are those who don't attend the class or participate. If you want someone who just reads from the Powerpoint slides then he isn't for you. He expects students to think but if you do the exam reviews, do the Participations, and do the extra credit you'd be fine. I blew it by not submitting my paper for Cambridge!

Whoever thinks that deadlines aren't clear needs to look at his syllabus. It has the deadlines. He used to require 2 research papers but now lets you do by yourself or with 1 other person. Listening to his TEDx talk as I write this. Submit your work to Harvard or Cambridge as it makes a difference. Exercises provide with feedback about IB!!!

Dr. is one of the best professors I have had at UTD. Absolutely amazing. Provides a quiz before each test and all the 25 questions from the quiz are on the actual test, so you basically know half of the test beforehand. If you attend the lectures, you should definitely pass with a high A.

Prof's amazing. I've had this prof. for 2 classes now and they're wonderful, clear-cut, and pretty easy if you put in the work. There's 2 exams, 1 final, and 1 paper. If you get a grade that you're happy with on the first 2 exams, you don't have to take the final OR take the final and it will replace your lowest test grade. Awesome Prof.

NO BOOK REQUIRED. Prof. is more than willing to meet with you if you should need help. The lectures are amazing and Prof. is a very passionate speaker. Open many ways to earn extra credits

Great cookies, not good first impression. He can scare more by accident than most would on purpose. He really isn't that bad & helps with things that look great on resume. Who else has students who let him borrow $6million gems for class? Ivy League quality, great researcher, he cares but you can fail. I've taken him twice & shall do it again.

You can tell that he used to be a motivational speaker from his lectures & connections. Take his classes seriously & do the participations & you can be fine. He'll let you earn what you earn so seek to learn & take advantage of the research opportunities that he'll provide. No one else here is so well connected. Great Prof & he cares.

I am taking him for a third time as I got a great internship & job offer from the first paper that I wrote. He cares. He can be scary but gets better the longer you know him. You can present papers at Cambridge and Harvard from his classes. If you want the easy route take someone else.

Great class. He cares and has challenging projects. Formatting of his tests need work but he has you do projects that make a difference in life. He is tough but flexible.

This is a great professor. He is extremely knowledgable about the subject and is on a different level, which might make things confusing at times. The tests are straightforward and he gives you the stuff on the exam ahead of time, its up to you to lose it. No book required. 20 Page research paper, 8 participation surveys online, and 3 exams.

He not just cares for his students he worries about them & wants us to do well. He is flexible & let's you revise work. You also can get extra credit by recruiting people to fill in LONG surveys about IB or even by submitting your work to JMH for peer review. You'll get quick feedback. 8 participations about IB, 3 exams, 1 or 2 papers.

He is one serious dude who cares and worries about his students. He wants the best for us.

He is one of the top 1.57% of educators & one of the top 2% of researchers in the fields of econ & business. He is the favorite prof. at UTD for Hispanic students & doesn't discriminate. He wants you to do well. Take his classes seriously, do the work, enjoy the food, take advantage of extra opportunities he provides. DO THE PARTICIPATIONS!

Whoever said top 1.57% is off a couple of decimal points. It is top .00157% as an educator. This last semester his students went from the 61st percentile to the 99.99 percentile. Go to the conferences & DO THE PARTICIPATIONS as they'll kill your grade if you don't. He goes beyond caring & the food is great. He gives you every chance to succeed

You can expect to do a research paper, a couple of tests with good study guides, & a lot of surveys that give you feedback about the course material. He brings snacks from around the world & really wants you to learn. If you don't do the work you could end up repeating his course. He is tough but fair - & he cares. He'll help your career.

You do research, take a couple of tests, & do 8 40-minute experiential exercises. Take them seriously & present papers at conferences as the present value of an annuity is excellent. He has the third best Age Weighted Citation Rate in JSOM. You have the opportunity to work with major people. Network & do the research, present it, & publish it.

His classes don't start the first day of class but may start months ahead of others and go 2 months after others end as you want to keep working on your research. He gives you options no other prof matches. It can be a lot of work but you CAN get an A, C, or an F. Only prof I know who students who fail his class want to take again. Good snacks.

This is my third class with him. He gets easier the more you take him as at first he is scary as he expects work at a level that no other UTD prof is going to expect. He worries & cares about his students & wantsexpectsdemands solid work although it really doesn't have to be that challenging. Do what he asks & take advantage of the conferences

Toughest prof. you'll want to take again & again if you can. He provides great opportunities for students to do research & present it at Harvard, Cambridge, or Oxford. You throw in a couple of tests, & 8 long experiential exercises that give you feedback about yourself - know yourself so that you can better understand your enemy! Ethical leader

A couple of tests, 8 long experiential exercises that give you great feedback take them seriously, the Business Strategy Game, a research paper, & a real world organizational project are what you do. Take advantage of the opportunities to present research at Oxford, Cambridge, & Harvard. They look incredible on the resume. Best prof around.

I took him 3 times. Bad first impression but he grows on you & not just cares but worries about students. He looks out for you & gives every chance to make the grade. Very ethical, precise, but tests need to be reformatted. 8 long assessments, a couple of exams, research paper, & clear guidance as well as revise & resubmitting research.

If U want to go to Harvard, Cambridge or Oxford U can. He makes the material come alive & has students who fail retake class from him. He goes beyond caring to being actively helpful. U WANT to do the work so that U can learn more about yourself & how to move ahead. Truth, honor, leadership, & ethics R more than words in class.

Best AWCR for profs teaching IMS. If U want to take it easy take someone else but if U want to move your career forward take Shawn. He actively cares & gets U great opportunities to better yourself & your career. He doesn't against international students & U'll learn. Go to a conference with him& don't fear his wife. Take before he leaves.

U better be ready to work & attend class or U'll be buried. He is an ethical servant leader who wants to help us differentiate ourselves in the marketplace. After taking Tom Henderson I might have to take BPS twice as I found that I didn't learn enough about IMS to pass BPS. Shawn goes beyond caring in to worrying about students learning.

Great prof. He is very strategic and his classes are fun/challenging/life changing. He emphasizes ethical servant leadership and branding yourself. You CAN fail if you don't do the work unlike with many of the other IMS profs.

Expect to work. He doesn't just read off the slides. If you want that take someone else. You apply the information to life & challenges expectations. Write a paper, run a simulated org & do some other project. Not an easy A - unless you do all of the work - & take it seriously. Only chance to present at Oxford, Cambridge or Harvard.

I took him 3 times. Failed the first time but it was my fault. I didn't do the work. I then retook him because he is a great prof. who doesn't discriminate in favor or against anyone. If you perform you can earn an A, if not then you can earn an F. He cares more for students than many care for themselves. He'll seriously help you in life.

I failed his class but it was totally my fault & then I took him again & did better. He doesn't just give A's & B's & can be tough but is also nice. Attend class, do the participations, do the BSG, & enjoy the learning. Go for a conference to differentiate yourself. He doesn't play favorites or discriminate against people if they are different.

You get what you put in to his classes. I received A's in my earlier classes with Shawn but for this one I received a C as I didn't do enough of the work. He is one of the top 50Global Bus Profs in the world but was also ranked # 9 in the world and the only American on the list as a Bus prof. Take advantage of the conferences you can attend.

He is big & uses his martial arts skills in his instruction. He is 1 of the top profs in the world in terms of impact & focuses his classes on increased impact. If you want to learn then take his classes & present papers at conferences. Enjoy the surveys & choose to research something that you care about. # 3 in JSOM based upon AWCR. Work.

He is big & rated # 9 in the world in terms of being an impactful prof. This DOES NOT mean that he is the most popular but rather he has a large impact on the learning & earnings of students. He is also rated as 1 of the top 50 global business profs in the world. You DO get what you put in to his classes. He is an ethical goal-oriented leader.

Prof is scary at start but you learn a lot and increase reputational resources. Take it seriously and it can be helpful. Do ALL extra credit.

I took for 3 classes & to say that lectures are the same is incorrect. You can fail if U don't do the work OR U can get an A if U do the work or a C if U do most of it. 40% F's would be extreme but he did mention that class in his other sections I had him that semester too. He DOES take attendance even if U don't know it. GROW UP! Do WORK!

I was in course with 40% F's. If you don't attend nor do the work you can fail. If you just want to earn a degree don't take him. If you want to differentiate your self & are willing to do the work then he is best to take. He talks about how great HIS STUDENT'S are & how much THEY achieve. He cares more than many students do. Took twice.

He jokes about his size & talks a lot about the accomplishments of his students. He focuses on research and ethical leadership in his classes. A few students hate him and most love him as he goes beyond caring for his students & seeks to increase earning power as well as learning power. Lazy or entitled students don't like him.

He is a friend to students & gives opportunities that no other prof offers in their classes. He can be unrealistic in his expectations but really isn't that bad IF you are willing to do the work. If you don't want to learn I wouldn't suggest taking him for any class. He is flexible & keeps changing the classes. Research IS important to learning

Research is the name of the game in his class. He wants you to be ethical, learn to differentiate yourself in the marketplace and do real work that you can put on your resume. He seeks to increase your present value of an annuity of what you learn and do. Take advantage of the research opportunities and fill out everything that he wants you to.

Don't expect a standard prof who reads off of Powerpoints. He brings the material alive and expects students to do real research projects that can be presented at other R1 universities. His expectations are crazy but if you do what he tells you it isn't impossible to earn an A. Take the BSG seriously. Do ALL participations

He really is not that tough if you do what he tells you to do and take the BSG seriously. Expect a research paper and BSG. Present your paper at Oxford and raise money. Door is not kidding that it can help you differentiate yourself in a very meaningful way. You CAN fail if you do not do the work. He has good experiences, try the foods

I took him for IMS & BPS & am now studying in Europe. In IMS Participations are brutal but take them seriously as they provide useful information that can help you. He hates them but does them because he cares. Do what he tells you to do & read the syllabus. It provides you with clear directions. BSG is good, expect research paper.

This was my second time taking this professor and I'm glad I did. He really cares about the success of his students and gives opportunities to boost your career including a research paper. His teaching style is different so be sure you understand the assignments and expectations. Simulation game, research paper and group project and a few quizzes.

Take the Participations SERIOUSLY. They provide useful information & influence your grade. You'll do a research paper & Bus Strategy Game that aren't that tough & he lets you revise & resubmit if it isn't A level work. He wants you to do well which is why he was named 1 of the most impactful Bus Profs in the world. He CARES & gives you choices.

Participations are easy and your grade depends on them. Play the game because that is a huge part of the your grade. The research paper was easy just make sure to follow his guidelines and you'll get an A on it. Oh and the fundraising is extremely important. He takes it very seriously so take it seriously.

He cares for his students & you won't realize the value of what you are learning until after you are done. He has great experiences & encourages ethical leadership & increasing your value. He'll provide opportunities no other prof provides. Expect research except in his summer classes where it is optional. Take instructions seriously.

He gets more students involved in research than the rest of the JSOM faculty put together - although they don't really seem to want to work with students. He does care & wants students to succeed. Who else is going to be teaching undergrads factor analysis so that they can better understand data analytics. It might seem tough but it's worth it.

He cares deeply about his students & does assessments & papers which can help you to differentiate yourself in the marketplace. He educates based upon the present value of an annuity principle as well as what can help you move ahead in the future. Do the research paper & travel to Oxford & Harvard. No other class gives you these opportunities

There are many reviews here that say he talks about himself alot, but honestly he deserves it! His LinkedIn profile proves it. His class is heavily based on yourself and your capabilities with teamwork. He brings up presenting research papers every class because it leads to better opportunities. EXTREMELY grateful of his lenient due dates!!!

He treats students like adults which can drive some students crazy as it is so uncommon. He builds loyalty to the school and encourages individuals to give back with whatever means are possible. He is flexible and encourages people to participate in research and other activities to increase earning power. He can be confusing but he cares.

He cares about students and goes out of his way to help students increase earning potential as well as ethical potential. He teaches about the importance of research and understanding research as well as challenging ones self. He has received multiple awards as an exceptional educator and doesn't back down from having high standards.

I took him for IMS 3310 & 3 times for BPS. I failed the first 2 & got a C this time. Take the research papers & participations seriously & take your time with them. I have had 4 presentations & should coauthor a paper presented at Oxford. He belongs someplace where research is valued more highly. The part. in BPS are 1/3 the size from IMS.

Great Prof. Emphasizes Research and Ethical Entrepreneurship. Take advantage of the extra Opportunities That He Gives You. They Make A Big Difference

Do everything he tells you to do in terms of research and the assessments. If you skip class it can be tough to catch up. His quizzes are easy if you attend class but impossible otherwise. Students who complain don't listen to him.

He is a unusual but he cares. Use every chance he gives you and remember to be kind.

He is an enjoyable professor if you do what he tells you to do. It really isn't tough if you follow his directions. Take care to take the assessments seriously and do the research. Also participation in raising money & present your research.

What can I say about Dr. Shawn. He is a caring professor who gives large amounts of work that aren't really tough if you do it when he tells you to do it & he'll go out of his way to help students. He doesn't discriminate against others and focuses on enhancing performance. He could lose some weight but he makes fun of it. He can break concrete

He is a very entrepreneurial prof & focuses on the present valued added of an annuity. of educational activities. He uses his martial arts skills for educational purposes & expects us to perform beyond what other profs expect but it is well worth it. Some students don't like that he wants students to work hard & smart.

Great class. Go to Harvard, Oxford, and Cambridge to present your research. Take his class seriously.

He is certainly an interesting professor. He wants all of his students to enjoy the process of research and learn how to do good research. I didn't really like that but liked the personal feedback.

I found the comments about Shawn to be tough to believe until I took his class. You are graded on your performance rather than background & if you do what he says you can do well. He'd admit that he can be an unusual jerk if that is what it takes to get performance. His class CAN be life changing or annoying. Exercises are long but important.

He is big, bad, & stands in the gap for students. He tells you what you need to do to earn a good grade & gets great performance from students - # 1 in the world on BSG & lots of research papers. He should bring back in his certificates from the Presidents. He has done a lot & who else would have former students letting a prof. use large gems?

He really does care & focuses on achievement. David Nobles points out that he admits that he expects his students to do the impossible. Do what he says, raise money, travel, & take advantage of the opportunities that he offers. Take the exercises seriously as they'd cost thousands on the outside. He'll do strange things to create memory anchors

He goes far out of his way to help students and brings in real projects and money for students to work with. His standards are next to impossible to meet but he realizes & says this. It is because of him that we get to present at Harvard, Cambridge & Oxford. Lazy people tend to avoid him. Do what he tells you to do and you'll be fine.

In IB you have a choice at UTD - take Carraher or take the easy way. He can tear a brick apart in class & also introduce you to people who can help you get a great job. He is really not that tough IF YOU FOLLOW HIS DIRECTIONS. If you don't you might think that you're going to die. He is flexible with assignments. Do each participation twice

He needs to take more care of himself. In the UK he was hit by a taxi when guiding students along towards the British Museum. He isn't kidding when he says that he stands in the gap. Do what he tells you to do and take it seriously as he wants HIS students to be successful. Watch his TEDx video & use his materials. Ethical Leader

He cares for his students & wants us to succeed. He'll stand up for what is right while making opportunities available that no other prof at UTD makes available like presenting papers at Oxford, Cambridge, and Harvard. Next week he'll be receiving an award from the King of Sweden & he has received them from the President of the EU & USA.

He is the only Prof working with non-doctoral students on research - and it is our research not his. He doesn't coauthor it with us but is able to bring the best out of students which is also why year after year his students are the top rated BSG teams in the world. On our trip to the UK he was hit by a taxi protecting students but wasn't hurt.

It is tough to understand what he wants - unless you read his syllabus. He is flexible with due dates & focuses on the academic concept of revise & resubmit. Take advantage of the trips to Oxford, Cambridge, & Harvard. He has received the Order of the North Star in Sweden, a major award in the UK & another one in Finland.

The Comp Exam is the toughest test you'll take other than CPA. If you don't pay attention you'll be confused. He received the Royal Order of the Polar Star , the CBE, an award from the major of Cambridge, & several certificates from the USA. His office is filled with sensory overload & his cookies are good. Take advantage of research options.

There are those who don't like him as he expects us to do work & if it isn't good enough then he doesn't accept it. If you just want to take a class & get out then he isn't for you. He has connections all around the world & uses them to increase the present value of an annuity of what you learn. He also has a high AWCR. He cares too much.

It is interesting to be taught by someone who has international awards like the CBE & the Royal Order of the North Star as well as recognition in the USA. He seems to try to make instructions clear for us but unless you have had other researchers it can still be like a different language although at least he lets us revise & resubmit work.

I was angry last semester when I saw that my undergraduate research grant was rejected as when I first saw it, it appeared that it was accepted but then I saw that it was rejected. Since then I heard that the rules were changed & that he wasn't even on the committee. He cares & tries to provide resources for those interested in doing work.

I too was angry when doing my evals last semester as I thought Dr. C was going to award me with $500 for my paper & then I get a rejection letter when doing the evals. At the end he told the class about how the university has changed the rules about how many projects a prof can direct. He is nice & has lots of useful contacts. Research paper.

He knows a lot about international topics & seems to care for students but is also clever & thoughtful. I wasn't happy when I received the email about undergraduate research grants but heard that the U changed the rules about how many could be directed. It is cool seeing what his previous students have done. If you don't want to work then avoid!

I am still not sure why he has stayed at UTD for so long since his wife finished her degree. He cares about students & provides research opportunities that help students go to top 5 universities in the world. He speaks highly of the dean & UTD's research potential. He is ethical & willing to stand up for what is right. Do the research!

I doubt that any other prof at UTD has the CBE or the Royal Order of the North Star neither of which I am familiar with. He covers the course material & expects students to do our own research. I am not sure why I should do research other than to learn the material better or differentiate myself showing that I know how to write. Entrepreneurial

I took his class & didn't remember seeing him tear a brick in half so I went to his IMS 3310 classes yesterday & he did it without students noticing. In fact he did it 4 times in one class & twice in another. He does care. Take the paper seriously and go to Oxford, Cambridge, & Harvard to present YOUR work. He does HIS work & you do yours.

Dr. Shawn wants you to do well in his classes & in life. You'll do a research paper & have some experiential exercises as well as do the BSG. His students are the top in the world on the BSG. He encourages entrepreneurial thinking & ethical leadership. He has a lot of connections. Take class seriously & take advantage of the opportunities.

His class is tough but also easy. It seems overwhelming but it is like the old joke about how do you an elephant - 1 bite at a time. Do the projects & take advantage of the opportunities available. He wants HIS students to be successful & provides opportunities to be even more successful. BSG, research, & odd topics are at the core of class.

Just do the work and you'll get an A. He wants to help and really prepares you for tests. If you skip class, you won't understand the material.

If there is room in his class then try to take him at CHEC rather than the main campus as he'll show you a lot more useful information as the systems tend to be better. During the summer the research paper is optional but it is still good to do. Do what he tells you to do and you can earn an A. Best Business Strategy Game performers in the world

There is a lot to do in his class & it can seem overwhelming at first but if you do what he tells you then it doesn't really seem all that tough once you finish it. He provides lots of opportunities that no other prof offers & is the only prof interested in helping students with research. Participation exercises are long but take them seriously

I didn't realize how important & valuable the materials were until I was out of my program for 2 years and getting ready to make a move in to Management. My company used some of the same assessments that I had taken in this class & it helped me land a position making $15K more than the others who started with me. Take work seriously

Well respected and very credible when it comes to internal business. He is well knowledge in this field and will let you know from his past experience but also he is able to transfer his knowledge to us in more simpler style. It was really fun taking his class and I really like that he truly care about us and our grades. I would HIGHLY recommend

I have taken him for 3 classes & while his class might seem overwhelming at first he deeply cares for his students & gives you experiences that you won't have in other classes - like learning to raise money & presenting research at Oxford, Cambridge & Harvard. He wants us to do well. Attend class & do what he tells you. Exercises VERY valuable!

I asked Dr. S what he thought about the negative comment & he said that he considered it to be one of the nicest comments that he has received although it is important to attend class. My suggestion to whoever doesn't think that he explains projects clearly - read the syllabus. He lets us revise & resubmit projects which is why due dates R fluid.

Read the syllabus & do what he tells you to do. Don't skip class consistently or you won't pass. Take advantage of doing the research paper as well as take the participation exercises seriously as they are the most valuable parts of the class. He does cover everything you need for the tests but the Comp Exam is the hardest test you'll take.

He makes it so easy for you to pass, 3 exams, give u the study guide, with answers, no reason u should fail any of them, 1 research paper that can be tricky but do able, bsg game that was very easy and can give u bonus points, and give u attendance quizzes so go to class, he very sarcastic and funny. One of the best professors at utd

His a great prof and is very knowledgeable. You get to learn a lot and have an amazing time as he brings in chocolates for the students all the time. He is the GOAT.

He puts far more in to his classes than most profs. Who else has his students do good research at major universities? DO WHAT HE TELLS YOU and PAY ATTENTION! Took 23 students with him to 4 conferences in 6 days plus did two private functions at the royal wedding. He worked with Prince Harry in Afgan. He has CBE plus is titled. He cares.

Did anyone else notice that he disappeared on Friday & Saturday evenings in the UK during the royal wedding? I saw a picture of him over at a reception the evening before the wedding & heard that he was invited to 2 events when it was found that he was in country as he had nominated the Prince for an award for valor during their time in Afgan.

He is a really nice professor. Just do what he tells you.

As long as you follow his guidelines, this should an easy GPA booster. Do take advantage of the research trip that he provides. Not only do you present your paper at prestigious universities(This year was Oxford, Cambridge, and Harvard) , but all the scholarships he and JSOM provide would cover a big portion of expenses. Basically a free trip.

Why would someone say that they wouldn't take him again & then admit that they did take him again? The surveys ARE relevant but would not be useful for research. Follow the instructions & his class isn't bad but if you ignore the instructions you can fail. He gives students multiple chances to succeed. Avoid him if you don't want to learn.

He is a very positive professor who says great things about Dean Pirkul, Mike Peng, and Greg Dess as well as seeking to get students to perform highly while being thankful for what UTD has to offer. In some classes the papers are optional while in others they are required. He cares about students & even teaches when not paid for classes.

He cares about students & I don't know how someone can say that it is tough to check on what he has accomplished as he passes around signed certificates & awards as well as showing what previous & current students have done. I have found that there are those who lie about him. He wants HIS students to achieve & succeed.

He talks about the achievements of his students & is the only Prof willing to help students publish our own research as well as raising funds to support students traveling to Oxford/Cambridge/Harvard. He posts an Introduction sheet with a lot of specific achievements. He brags about being heavy & injuries. If you don't want to work don't take!

I took BPS from Shawn as well and his "rich friends" are some of his previous students and the organizational project described is about the tradeoff between time and money, not about research. I'd prefer to be one of his "rich friends" by using what I learned. The research part is the paper.

Carraherr is dope! During the first/ second week, it could be confusing/overwhelming, however, I highly recommend sitting in the first/second row if you want to get all the right information. There's so many ways to get an easy A: his lectures are show & tell (he brings food!), do the "quizzes" and surveys, make a class group chat to share info

He is one lit prof. He brings food from around the world & shares stories that support the material that he is teaching about. Expect to do a research paper & play the Business Strategy Game. He expects real work to be done that has value. He also has links to lots of money & great contacts for jobs if you are tough enough.

He is a caring professor who gives students the opportunity to present papers at Oxford, Cambridge, & Harvard. Do the research even if he gives you a chance to not do it. He varies the projects from one semester to another. I have had him for two different classes and parts were similar but he provides opportunities to improve work. Do extra credit

No student of Dr. C would say that the class is super easy or you don't learn much. Expect Factor Analysis & other data analytic tools from the beginning of class. He tries to scare students out who don't want to work. He is the course coordinator so he defines what is supposed to be in the class. Do the research & try the food.

He stays in close communication with previous students & is extremely helpful. He hands out detailed information about achievements & even passes some around in class. Attending class is mandatory & he brings great international foods to try. The exercises that he has completed are for feedback not his research as any REAL student would know

This was my 4th class with him. He keeps changing the participation exercises so in spite of what Marilyn might say they aren't for research. I showed them to another prof & she said that results with students couldn't be published. Expect 2 papers in the Fall & Spring with 1 being group authored & seek to solo author other. Attend conferences.

He has a solid background in strategic intelligence & Executive Development. As a civilian his assistants were a Major & LTC with two MG's on his Board. As 1 of students you'll rule in the BSG. At first it seems overwhelming but gets easier as the class goes on. Do the research & go to the conferences. He wants us to be successful. Dry humor

Are you unhappy with the education that you have received at UTD? If so then you haven't taken classes from Dr. Shawn. He wants you to not just learn material but to use it to create a competitive advantage. His education focuses on the present value of an annuity & increasing your potential earnings as well as life satisfaction & achievement.

He uses this class to have students work on creating an international competitive advantage for ourselves which some class members don't like. Avoid those who don't want this. Take advantage of the special opportunities that he provides. You could meet people who you'll never meet from other classes. He wants you to learn & earn.

Dr C cares very deeply about his students & not only does he teach classes for free but he brings in $5 for every $ that students raise & if students listen to him about fundraising he is also the top contributor in terms of the student $. I have taken 3 classes from him & while a few students DO like to complain it is mostly those who don't come!

Dr. Carraher is one of the coolest professors at UTD! His class is very enjoyable and he always brings snacks for his students to enjoy. He has a great sense of humor, and has a very easy-going classroom environment.

Spring '18 Wanna know about Carraher? read his resume, pages 47-50 shows he cares about students. He once invited&paid for 10+ students in a StudyAbroad to a buffet, brought pizza twice to class, and snacks everyday. The assignment isnt difficult if you PAY ATTENTION. He helped me get scholarships for the S.A trip to U.K.&Harvard. Pay attention

Dr. C has been one of the most influential professors I have ever had. I attended his Oxford Trip & received basically a full scholarship through his fundraising. I worked hard on my paper. You get what YOU put in. If you want to be successful, you have to put in the effort. I highly recommend him. Surveys also benefit you and show where you stand.

He is a very smart professor, his class is super easy is you just do the work. You won't learn anything unless you actually pay attention to what he says In class. BSG is the main thing we do and its pretty easy but you do learn ALOT! I was able to get a 114-115 in my BSG score and actually ended up finishing top in my industry!

3 options of how work can be done for grades, professor covered these several times through semester, clarified and made sure its understood. Research paper was tough but rewarding. Presentation trip was a great experience. Group work does not require your $, its a fundraising project (you only need $ if you don't actually do it & need the grade)

BPS students knowledge about Strategic Management went from a 77% to a 96.7%. While in International Marketing it went from 34% to 92%. Strategic Management isnt typically used by entry level college grads. Individuals are admitting that they didnt even take him & yet are evaluating him. His students are the top performing in Bus Strategy Game!

Who hasn't heard of the UN which is the sponsor of CAMOT? He helps students & the so called negative comments about students are validity checks in the self report measures to make sure that we are paying attention. His instructional methods are designed for adults & students who want to learn. He is either the GOAT or not popular.

He didn't back down when a frat tried to get him to lower his standards. He cares for his students and was hit by a taxi in London protecting us from the traffic. He wasn't hurt much. 3rd most cited prof in the Management area at UTD & he uses his connections to help us & provide opportunities which are valuable. Some of the comments from Dr. K

His students are the top in the world at the Business Strategy Game & with the Comp Exam. He explains class material over & over again. students do show improvements in learning and performance. He might be non-traditional in his teaching as he doesn't just read off of the Powerpoint slides but adds extra information. Take advantage of opportunity

His class focuses on skills & knowledge that most won't use until a decade or so after finishing school. There are those who complain about him as he doesn't back down with his standards. Take advantage of the extra opportunities that he provides. Try the foods that he brings in & do the work.

He is a very clever professor who cares deeply about his students. He raises money to support international travel & helps with entrepreneurial ventures as well. He has a relaxing atmosphere in class but that doesn't mean that you don't have to do the work. He provides clear standards for performance.

Great professor who provides opportunities for students to present papers at Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, and even publish papers. Don't be scared at the beginning of class as he isn't as scary as he might seem. His educational methods are different but can be useful if you are willing to put in the work to make good use of what he teaches.

He uses the university, military, and Church as examples in Organizational Design part of class so if you don't want to hear anything about the military then you might not like him. Do ALL of the work that he makes available and you can do well although it won't be easy - neither shall it be the toughest class in the world.

Looking at the discussion among the students there were a lot who thought that the class was too research oriented however perceptions changed over time. More & more students saw the value of what was being done as we saw that the mean level of knowledge went from 34% to 92% which was pretty incredible. Great class & great prof.

He seems like a very caring professor who wants his students to be successful & talks a lot about our successes. He has had students go on to grad school at Cambridge, Oxford, Northwestern, Harvard, & other great universities including UTD. He provides opportunities which it is up to students to decide if they'll take them.

What students get away with at UTD is not a good reflection of professionalism. Dr. C treats students as adults & puts in a lot of time & effort. Those who try to force him to take shortcuts & lower the learning are not helping themselves or future students. Think before you type. Take advantage of opportunities presented.

Dr. Carraher is the best professor there is at UTD. I was able to go study abroad with him to Oxford and London. His requirements are very clear, if you do your part and work hard you will pass. You will have the experience of your life if you decide to be apart of his trip. He knows a lot and will help you make all the connections you want to make

If you are interested in entrepreneurship or global topics he is a good prof. to take. He also has students involved in research. In the Fall he spent an average of 3 minutes per 75 minute class providing personal examples but doesn't just read off of Powerpoints. Very involved at the federal & international levels. FBI and military like him.

He is a really impactful prof who provides opportunities to present work at Harvard, MIT, Oxford, Cambridge, and other outstanding places. He also enjoys fundraising and getting students involved in entrepreneurial research. If you want to avoid work then avoid him. Who would think that 3 minutes is the majority of a 75 minute class? Caring Fed

If you do the work you can do well. Showing up and being braindead doesn't work. He only differentiates between students based on performance. He cares for his students & used to train military personnel. Read his CV that is posted if you want to know more about him. It is over 50 pages. He goes out of his way to help students and colleagues.

He is a pretty large professor but it didn't surprise me when I found out that he does full contact matches in armor like a Knight. Sit up front in his classes and let him help you raise money.

There is business strategy game which you have to pay attention, a research paper that is 5000 words+20 or more peer reviewed journal citations if you want an A and a group or solo project where you have to raise 150 dollars or have people take 20 surveys, first exam is easy and 2nd is based on participation assignments. Easy A but lots of work!

If you want to present a paper at a conference at a great location then he is a good prof. to take. I'd recommend taking the class at the McKinney campus as he is more laid back there and has more foods to try. He has received lots of awards and brings in prior students to let you ask questions about projects. You can earn an A or an F.

Incredibly flexible in terms of assignments and grading. Tests are easy as long as you attend his lectures and half listen as he's very in-depth on test review. Assignments, however, require long hours and research especially the BSG and semester paper but are very beneficial. He also brings in THE BEST COOKIES I've ever tasted after every test.

His class has 3 exams, an optional paper, and his students are the top in the world with the Business Strategy Game. Attendance is required for his class but he is flexible which as a working adult I appreciate. I appreciated his stories about his own experiences - which I don't see as bragging and allows us to present papers at Harvard, MIT, etc

If U aren't going to do the work then don't take him. He gives U every chance to do well but if you don't do the work U'll get the grade that you earn - although he does also offer some extra credit - - do it and do the formal eval. Research is a useful way to differentiate ones self in the interview and work process. I too liked his stories.

His class isn't too tough unless you ignore what he says. Do the extra credit and the assignments. If you don't want to do the work then take someone else. He measures how much you learn and provides some interesting examples in class. He treats everyone fairly and doesn't play favorites. He really enjoys teaching & research. Takes attendance.

He is quite a professor. He lets you choose your level of performance and points you in the direction of how to achieve what you desire whether at the level of Oxford or something below UTD. He challenges the status quo of not caring about students and encourages performance. He has a lot of connections and accomplishments. Even titled in UK.

Only take him if you plan to attend class and do the work. 3 exams not tough, Business Strategy Game, and a paper. Ask him to do participation assessments as they are the most useful part of the class. You learn about yourself and other cultures. Take them seriously as otherwise you mess up the results for everyone. He teaches a lot for free

His class doesn't seem as tough as it is. I didn't feel like I had learned much until I took a higher level class where I knew more than others who majored in the subject. Take the assessments seriously and put real thought and effort in to them as they are designed to provide your with individualized feedback. He has interesting stories.

Doesn't give out a massive research paper or group project. You have to play a business strategy game which can be a bit annoying. He has participations he posts & extra credit. Review is the exam, you need to find the answers. Be aware his lectures can be kinda dry & boring. Brings food & random things to class. Has a lot of cool stories. No final

Mid term & final are the same test - answers can be found through Quizlet. 2 big projects - Create a marketing plan for yourself & Create a strategic plan for a product/service. You are required to play an online business strategy game for a grade - easy as long you don't miss a due date. He counts attendance. He talks a lot, sometimes off topic.

It was the 1st and 3rd exams that were the same. The middle one didn't have data analytics in it. It is a test-retest form of checking what we learned - which was covered in class. He cares for his students and presents opportunities that no other prof. at UTD offers. Yes he has done a lot - like being named a Sir - which is good for students.

He cares for his students and with Sean in the class the BSG is pretty decent as well. He is the goat and focuses on what can help you earn more money as well as increasing your social networks. Factor Endowments are important in life. He has great connections and knows how to teach on-line. Very diverse class and you get to touch history.

I am really not sure of what to write about Dr. C. He cares about his students and goes out of his way to help us. You can do research in his class or you can choose to not do it. He wants his students to prosper and learn a lot. He tries to make the class be a low stress experience which it can be if you do the work. Incredible guest speakers

You never know what to expect from a class with Dr. C. His classes are fun to attend as he brings in so many cool examples. His cookies at exam time are also great. He is flexible and at times it can seem like he is speaking a different language avoid taking his exams in ancient Greek but then it becomes clear and doesn't seem that tough.

I wasn't sure whether to choose inspirational or clear grading criteria. If you read the syllabus and do what he tells you to do you can do well. Participations DO matter as do his exercises of having you write a letter of recommendation for yourself as well as a LinkedIn recommendation for yourself. They can help you do better in life/class.

His class is heavily participation based, by which i mean if you just do all the surveys and business strategy game it's an easy A. It can get annoying listening to him talk himself and his students up literally every class but he brings snacks and is way easier than any other professor so it's definitely worth it.

He'll give you multiple attempts for you to earn a good grade but if you don't do the work you won't earn a good grade. As one of his students who wanted to continue to meet after Spring Break I wasn't happy with the university making it so that we couldn't meet. I plan to take my next class from him after classes start meeting face-to-face.

Participations DO matter and their points add up. They also can help you get a better job. I am taking him for my next management class as well as it is supposed to build on International Business. A lot of the younger students freaked out when the class switched to on-line but as long as you followed his directions it was fine.

Participations matter. Some don't like that he won't discriminate against or in favor of individuals. You can earn an A, B, C, D, or an F. I am now taking him for BPS and am going to market myself and my org. at Harvard/MIT conference. He wants his students to succeed and seeks your best interest. Do the work - and extra work as well

Do the extra credit and all of his participation exercises twice. If you want to do work worthy of presentation at Harvard or MIT he is the only prof. who gives you that option. The feedback from the participation exercises is valuable when looking for a job. Link up with him on LinkedIn. He has a lot of valuable connections. Ask Sean anything

I think that it's helpful that Sir Shawn has 3 titles and that he provides chances for students to present at conferences. Do ALL participation exercises at least twice. He gives us so many chances to succeed and wants students to learn so that we can earn more. The class goes from seeming impossible to pretty easy. Sean also helps interpret.

He is a nice prof who wants his students to do well in life and at the university. He'll help you present your research at major universities as well as help you get a better job/career. He has a lot of awards and a lot of unusual objects in his office. Former students sit in on some classes because they find it so valuable. BSG is fun.

He DOES talk a lot about himself as he doesn't just read straight off the slides. If you want someone who is going to just read straight off the slides then take someone else. If you want someone who covers the material and adds to it through examples and stories then he MIGHT be good for you. It is performance that matters not sex or race.

Do the extra credit. Watch his lectures and complete ALL of the participation exercises. He is entertaining with his use of the martial arts and data analytics. He doesn't provide you with just the minimum education. Sean makes the classes worth even more. Focuses on present value of an annuity of in terms of what you learn.

Gives all test questions without answers on a sheet as a study guide. Gave me an A on his semester long project despite my performance on the project being pretty mediocre. Easy class/A

Dr. Carraher is a great professor. He is intelligent and really allows us to expand our knowledge to the best ability. I would definitely recommend him!

The professor really cared about the topic he was teaching and his TA Sean was an absolute lifesaver on being available to answer and questions or help with any confusion. This was a class that you can tell the professor really wants his students to succeed in. Professor Carraher was a great professor to take during the uncertain pandemic time.

I don't know if I'd recommend him to everyone. If you just want the minimum then go with someone else. You can fail his class if you don't do the work. He uses his martial arts to help make the class more lively during COVID. He was also asked to bring in his wife's pets. He cares deeply about his students and let us redo work.

He is the only prof who you won't fall asleep in his lectures. I watched the lectures live just so I could see what he was going to do. He is flexible and gives you lots of opportunities for success or failure. It is tough to fail his class but it is possible. Do the work, pay attention, and did I say that you should do the work? He cares.

He does some wicked martial arts in his class. He may be large but he can move and break boards, concrete, and bricks unlike any other professor. He tries to educate and entertain at the same time. His class doesn't seem tough at the end but when you see all that you have accomplished it is a lot. Ethical leadership and research are key words.

Dr. Shawn is the GOAT. He offers extra credit and has two TA's that answer questions. Take the exercises seriously and take advantage of the opportunities that he provides. Where else can you earn extra credit for allowing your paper to be presented at Oxford or Cambridge? He entertains while educating. Breaks are breathtaking. Cookies great

As someone who actually COMPLETED this class I took a look at the syllabus and there are 52 assignments. There were fewer when I took it last semester but it appears that the time needed to complete them would be less. NONE of his surveys take an hour. Most assignments take about a minute. Attend class, do the work, or take someone else.

Professor Carraher is an enigma, and you probably will never find another class like this at UTD. He goes out of his way to advance the careers of his students (Guest speakers and professional development opportunities), and he is very lenient with his grading and due dates. Do the work and you get an A. Lots of time consuming (But easy) HW.

I was originally signed up for another professor but made the switch. I'm glad I did because this class was easy and I learned something.

One of the better professors at UT Dallas. While everything was done virtually, I could tell that this professor takes pride in what he does and helps all students. From personal experience, I can only name one other professor at this university who has been influential to me. Highly recommend.

This is an easy A class. The BSG game is pretty fun and engaging. His assignments consists of mostly surveys. His exams are easy and he offers plenty of extra credit or ways to get an A. The TAs, especially Sean, are fantastic. They're always helpful. Research is pushed a lot through the prof, TA, and speakers - making it feel like a cult at times.

Dr. Carraher is very flexible with students if you follow him, you will get an A.

IF YOU WANT A FREE A+ TAKE IT. YOU WELCOME IN ADVANCE.

This class is easy if you participate each week. Deadlines are easily spelled out and easy to follow. The class grade is heavy on survey assessments, but you get to work on them during the class periods and can easily finish before the due date. Tests are easy if you follow the lectures and a study guide is given for the first two.

Dr. Shawn cares for his students & isn't too difficult if you attend class and follow the syllabus. There are those who want to get A's without doing the work but I think that this cheapens the value of a UTD degree. I wanted to take him for BPS as well. Take advantage of the opportunities that he provides, attend class, and try the cookies.

He won the Inclusive Diversity in Teaching Award as he treats everyone fairly. If you attend class, read the syllabus, and do the assignments it is a bit tougher than than other JSOM classes but you can do better - AND you have the opportunity to hear lectures from Oxford, Cambridge, the U. of Tokyo, Harvard, Columbia, and Cornell. Great prof.

Expectations are clearly spelled out in the syllabus; make sure to read it. There were weekly assessments (worked on in class), a fun BSG game that runs the whole semester and is a huge part of your grade, and only 3 tests with a chance to use a BSG test for a grade (gives multiple chances for those. Show up, do all the work, or you will fail.

Dr Shawn is the GOAT, He tells you what you need to do to perform and doesn't discriminate no matter their race, background, gender, etc. He wants you to perform & do well as well as offering opportunities that no other prof. is going to give you. Take a chance and present a paper, travel to Harvard and/or Oxford and learn to earn seriously.
