Great instructor. When he tells you two pages... don't go over by one word. He is laid back, shares lots of life experiences and is the best instructor I have had thus far. A few papers and projects, but nothing difficult.

Prof Jeralds is such a nice guy. He tries to make class fun and does a lot of exercises. This was my 530-815 class and it was hard to go to but not terrible. Attendance mandatory. A lot of writing assignments. Tests aren't too hard if you study and read the book. Overall, good teacher if you're willing to put forth effort.

Good Prof. Some people complained about his tests being hard. If you read the book you're fine. In his PP he puts everything you need to know in Yellow. Cool guy and he keeps the class engaged.

Great professor and great class. Go to class because he does take attendance, allowed 3 misses. Buy the book to learn definitions, know all the words on the study guides he gives you for tests and you will get an A!! Lectures can get boring, but he tries really hard to keep the class engaged.

Jeralds- intelligent and awesome guy who is really passionate about his classes (& Char. Bobcats) but he lectures too fast & his exams are trickey/unfair. He tells random stories & then has exam questions about them or just irrelevant info. He has speakers a lot & will put questions like where did they go to college? LOVE THE CLASS, hate the exams

Prof Jeralds is awesome!! By far one of my favorite teachers at SC. He always works to keep the class engaged and he is very clear about what you'll be tested on. Attendance and effort matter to him, so don't lose the easy points by not going to class! Also, READ THE BOOK. All the info comes from there.

I love this professor. Very interesting and smart guy and makes class fun. You will laugh every time you meet for class. Mandatory attendance. You can only miss 3 classes. Tests are easy if you study what was on the study guide, powerpoints, and book. Gives out free stuff sometimes! I've taken him for two different classes and would take him again.

Sporty is a good teacher and knows his stuff. He is just hard to please. He will not give a perfect score for anything. When you think his directions are clear, you get points taken off for stupid stuff. I do recommend the class because it's not too hard, but Prof. Jeralds can be tough on grading.

Knows so much about the industry if your into venue management. Keeps things lively in class and has many opportunities to get a good grade. Tough grader though have to have everything just right and to his standards. He will call you out if you have sub par work, which can be good or bad. Highly recommend!!

Sporty is highly knowledgeable about the venue industry. Exams are a little tricky, but his class is fun and interactive. He also cares about how you're doing outside of class. Great guy, great professor. Take his class if you can.

Sporty is one of the best professors I've had a USC. He is very energetic and makes class interesting. His tests aren't hard if you READ THE BOOK (he pulls out random facts) and complete the study guide. Does a few in class assignments and you can't get away with someone else singing you in.

Prof Jeralds' class was my favorite this year! He made the topic interesting and he always has cool stories to tell. He's a great contact in the field. The tests were tough if you don't study well and the book is definitely a good idea. He offers lots of ways to keep your grades up if you don't do well on the tests!

He was an amazing professor and kept me engaged throughout the entire semester. He keeps things light and fun but he is serious about exams and assignments. He prepares you for the career in the real world and is somewhat of a tough grader. I would recommend him to anybody.

Professor Jeralds is one of THE best professors I have had at USC. He is such a great contact to have in the industry, and if you put in the work and make yourself known to him, he will help you in the future. His tests are hard, but once you get the hang of his grading style you will be fine. He gives many extra credit opportunities. GO TO CLASS!

Jeralds terrified me but is a good teacher. He's knowledgeable and points out exactly what will be on the test. You must read the textbook for this class. The tests are kind of hard, he will ask very specific questions like how many people were injured in a certain incident. He offers a little bit of extra credit as well, participation is key.

I loved this class. Professor Jeralds is by far my favorite teacher in school history. He loves to talk about his life and just gives you inspiration to follow your dreams.! Must take class!

I wish I could select more of the tags to describe Professor Jeralds. He makes you work for your grade. You have to read and participate in class but he is one of the most knowledgable professors I have ever had. He brings in speakers that tell you exactly what life is like in the field. He knows what he's talking about and will inspire you so much

Making it to an 8:05am class was difficult, but Professor Jeralds always made class interesting. Take notes AND read the text book and you'll pass the class. He gives random in class assignments, so don't miss class. He's hilarious, a wonderful professor and is passionate about the sport industry. I would definitely take him again!

The best professor I have ever had. Helped me make connections with people in the sport world. Met with me to discuss how to improve my future. He was very clear in class and made it fun. He gives a lot of extra credit and is willing to work with his students if they work with him. Everything he does prepares you for the real world.

This is my second time having Professor Jeralds and he never disappoints. He is definitely someone you want to network with and get to know. He's helped me so much. He believes in his students, celebrates their accomplishments and wants to assist them as much as possible. You just have to reach out to him. Y not u, y not now?

Professor Jeralds expects a lot of his graduate students, rightfully so. You will have to work for your grade. I recommend attending his office hours to look at past projects and make sure you know what he's looking for. Do the work and you will pass. Funny, engaging lectures. I would take him again.

Great elective for SPTE majors, the material is super relevant to our field and Professor Jeralds is the best! He wants you to succeed and practically begs you to come to office hours. His tests aren't bad but the book is important! I would take this class again in a minute and I hope to take more classes with Professor Jeralds!

TAKE THIS CLASS. He makes the material easy to learn in the way that he presents it. Gets the students engaged. Tries to make it enjoyable. I had this class at 8:30 am and would actually look forward to going. Has connections. Gives away tickets sometimes.

Sporty Jeralds is an amazing professor. He is well respected and puts wants his students to understand the topics. He cares deeply about his class. He is a great resource if you put forth an effort to create a relationship with him. He is a great way to start a complex network. He has first hand experience in the industry and it shows in the class

The GAs grade everything, and they are too specific. They give a grade on a made up category PEPP which is a mix of attendance, participation, and the way you dress. I don't understand why they would grade you on that when there is no uniform code and this class is at 8:05. Also how do they get to know over 200 kids and judge the way they dress?

Great teacher who knows what he's talking about. Must pay attention and study or you won't be satisfied with your grade.

One of my favorite teachers I have had at usc!!! Interesting lectures, makes going to an 8:05 worth it. If you want an A, go to every class and read the textbook before tests. Professor Jeralds has so much wisdom and good advice for anyone looking to go into the SPTE industry. He also has a lot of connections.

Great guy and cool teacher. I usually enjoy lecture because he makes it fun, but the material is elementary stuff and he rambles. He makes you read the book for test questions so going to class can feel pointless. His tests are IMPOSSIBLE as he will ask the most obscure random questions making many people get awful grades. Love the guy, hate tests

This class is interesting and he's a very engaging teacher. I have this class at 8:05 twice a week, but I haven't missed a single class because the lectures are so crucial to doing well on tests. As an SPTE turned HRTM major, this is a cool class. Tests are hard, and textbook is required, but I would take this class again.

Sporty is one of the best professors I've ever had. His lectures are easy to follow, and he tells you what kinds of questions you'll see on a test. You have to read the textbook if you want to do well on tests, but he also gives extra credit assignments that aren't hard at all. Super easy class if you just show up and take good notes.

I enjoyed it even at 8:05 in the morning. However, his tests are stupid. They are in no way assessing how well we learned the important information. He asks tricky questions in order to encourage reading the textbook. I really liked Prof Jeralds humor and expertise. He offered a lot of extra credit and NBA ticket raffles throughout the semester.

I enjoy his class. He is a funny guy, and I find what he says to be very helpful. However, you do need to read the textbook to do good on the test which I don't mind. Only problem is the questions are so specific yet pointless sometimes, you may read the book and study and still not know.

Sporty is a good professor and makes his lectures interesting. You do have to go to every class because he randomly does attendance quizzes. READ THE TEXTBOOK! The test questions are very specific and if you don't read, you won't pass. They become easier once you start to realize what kind of questions he will ask. Overall, loved the class!

Prof. Jeralds is really entertaining and very knowledgeable in the subject. He does have fairly regular in class attendance assignments, so DO NOT skip. Lectures are straight forward and easy to follow. He pulls out very small and sometimes irrelevant facts/details from the textbook to use as test questions, so make sure you READ THE BOOK

I didn't find Professor Jeralds' class to be as difficult as everyone said. Be sure to read the book & take notes on the reading. The exam questions aren't that hard, just specific. I wouldn't recommend skipping this class. He does give lots of opportunities for extra credit. Overall, I thought he was decent. He's really passionate about his field.

Professor Jeralds is an amazing professor. He gives tons of extra credit and is very straightforward. He tells you at the beginning of the semester that you must work to make an A, and he's not lying. Just read the textbook and attend class and you will do well on exams. Great class.

I took this online, but I still enjoyed it. It doesn't matter if you take it online or in person you have to read the textbook. The powerpoints help but a lot of the test questions are word for word from the text. Assignments are tedious but not too hard. Definitely take it online in the summer if you can.

Professor Jeralds was a good overall professor. Personally, I felt as if there was a lot of work for an online course over summer. We had a research paper & a Trained Crowd Manager Program all due at the end of the class, which together took about 8 hours. Otherwise 3 exams, a discussion board post weekly, and an assignment weekly. Effort needed.

Jeralds is great although his class is early. He wants students to participate and you have to read the textbook for the tests. He will ask some random percentage about something and it's only from the textbook.

Professor Jeralds uses the textbook for all of his tests and you won't pass without it. He's a great guy and really cares about his students and loves for people to participate.

Idk why people think this class is hard. All you have to do is show up and read the textbook. Sporty is such an approachable guy. People say he's too strict but he literally sets his expectations for you on the first day of class. His class definitely prepared me for the real world.

Professor Jeralds was awesome this semester. He is a really cool guy with good experience that makes it relate to the classroom. He presents the material well and sets up the class to get you to succeed. I only wish this class was more in person so we could have interacted more. If you have to take this class, TAKE HIM. Show up and do assignments.

There were like 5 assignments throughout the entire semester. He uploaded the weeks lectures on Sunday night and you could do them at any point. Most weeks were just watching him present a powerpoint and some supplemental videos. Overall a very easy class.

I took this class online and i never did any work until the day the assignment was due and got an A. Test I would start preparing the day before. Yes the test are hard but the wording is the exact same as in the textbook so you know what to expect. I do not know why he has such horrible reviews. He really is a nice guy.

Hes a cool professor and his class really isnt hard. You have to pay attention to lectures and read the book if you want to get decent grades on the test. Assignments you have to read the directions CAREFULLY or points will be take off. Attendance isnt mandatory but he does have in class assignments that cant be made up.

Very knowledgable, very fun. Can't miss class, there are a few in-class exercises that you will fail if you're not in class this day. DO the extra credit, it will help so much in the long run. Tests are fairly difficult but all multiple choice.

I am a transfer student and this was my first class that I had this past semester and I loved his class. He is a great professor who expects a lot from you, but at the same time is being realistic, especially in this industry. To do exceptionally well, you have to read the textbook and take notes. Its not hard if you time manage effectively.

Sporty is a great guy and teacher. test comes strictly from the textbook and he lets you know that at the beginning of the semester. A lot of people complain about this class but they are soft. but all you have to do is put in the work. Not much homework besides reading the textbook. May come off as intimidating but he really loves to talk to peopl

Professor Jeralds is a professional within the sports and entertainment industry, he cares about his students but is strict when it comes to the way you do an assignment. The tests are not as awful as others make them out to be, read your notes and the book, and if that doesn't help there is always a Quizlet for every test. This was a fun course.

Jeralds is awesome. First class or two - very intimidating. He does the typical speech that weeds out the soft kids. But don't drop his class! He is difficult, but his class changed my perspective of what I want to do as a career. He helped me make a personal connection in the sports world that helped me greatly. Difficult, but awesome. Tooty Ta!

Sporty was an awesome professor, now that being said he made the class incredibly challenging. You have to put ALOT of effort into this course. BUY THE TEXT BOOK, Review the text as much as possible. Pay attention and take notes. you should be ok, hes a great guy and truly cares.

You will hate this class for a bit. I did. Now I'm glad I took it. You HAVE to read the textbook and come to class, or you will fail but he is very clear about that in the beginning. Exams test very specific content only in the textbook. He is very knowledgeable about events and venues, so he actually knows what he's talking about. Be ready to read

Strict and likes things done a certain way. Exams are not too hard to pass but you HAVE to read the textbook and take good notes. Very knowledgeable about the industry. Not many assignments, but you have to strictly follow directions or you won't get a good grade. Very accessible outside class. Don't be intimidated, it really isn't bad.

Tough but worthwhile class. Jeralds has high standards, but if you do the work - read the textbook, attend class, and follow instructions - you can succeed. Unstuck AI was a game-changer for my study prep.
