Arrogant and not helpful at all. Huge waste of time and the sad part is the better/best lectures are from the guest speaker.Avoid if possible.

Horrible Prof. Stay away from his class

This is the pro that gives you question marks about why he teaches in "so-called" one of the best MBA schools!Poorly organized lectures.

He's a good speaker but a very tough grader. He'll penalize you for grammatical and spelling mistakes. The penalty can be anything! He doesn't teach much but rather asks the students to present a few slides on the chapter and you are asked to read the chapter beforehand! He only "facilitates the discussion". Grading scheme isn't clear at all. Avoid

I never understood what the Professor expects from his students in terms of assignments. I did not even bother to read the comments he gave after a while because they don't make sense. He contradicts himself all the time in feedback and in classes as well. Also, his classes aren't great because the content is copied for self help books.

The course of Managing Team Dynamics is lucrative from its course outline. I too was carried away by it . But believe me this course and prof messed up my whole term. This course has maximum deliverable. You are expected to do best in all of them , subject is too theoretical, prof teaches directly from book & does not post slide in CMD .Worst exp.

He makes you play games in the class and gives grades based on the outcome of the game. Who does that at the MBA level? The grading criteria is extremely skewed and you fail at below 70%. You would expect him to mark leniently but he marks tough. Takes out 7-8 marks just like that without any explanation. I am on the Dean's List and I got a B!

Simple concepts are overcomplicated with more complex synonyms you need to memorize. This teacher hates getting emailed and calls out students in class for sending him emails he does not want to answer. He was not helpful at all with preparing for his exam and simply stated it can be on anything. I would recommend to AVOID having him as a prof!!!!!

Not a valuable professor on a master level. The course was full of useless memos and self-reflection paper. The course content is also not helpful at all. Avoid him at all costs

Gives terrible feedback, didn't learn a single thing in his class.

Not worth your money

A Prof who is way more arrogant than needs to be, has offered little help for obstacles he has himself created for the students. Not approachable at all. Would definitely recommend avoiding the professor at all costs if possible, has no sense of fairness.

The professor talks about himself WAY too much and seems very full of himself, despite dubious career history. He does prepare well for each lecture.

He is a funny professor who cracks some good jokes, but the existence of this class is not very helpful. Sometimes I don't understand what he expects from his students, and he rarely gives "how" to complete an assignment. The feedback is also too general and broad. I don't think he understands how the job application process works nowadays.

Useless class for a MBA and he just makes it worse. Arbitrary grading along with focus on things that solely interest him and are completely irrelevant to any business environment. Pick anyone else for 5150, Stephen will slowly grind you down with the pure 0 value he and this class brings.

Wasted my time, my life. All he do is swearing in class and reply "?" in your assignment comments

A Prof has offered little help for the students. Not approachable at all. Would definitely recommend avoiding the professor at all costs if possible.

This course has got to be one of the most useless across specialized master and MBA programs. Stephen has a huge ego that only cares about opinions and thoughts that lean towards his ideology. Useless feedback. The fact that this prof can teach at such a reputable Bschool proves that Schulich has turned itself into a cash-grab con artist.

He doesn't know what he's teaching and gives ambiguous assignment feedback. He doesn't care what you write for assignments or exams. He ONLY grades based on how much he likes you. He is a waste of your time and tuition. If you want an easy A, go to his class and participate. If you want to learn something useful, DON'T TAKE HIS CLASS.

Absolutely horrible professor, he grades when he feels like. Feedback is ineffective, office hours are useless and extremely limited. Thank you for wasting my time and tuition money Friedman :)

waste of time and tuition

Unclear assignment feedback. The professor is also straight-up rude to some students and pleasant to a selected few. Overall, the course was a waste of my tuition.

Again, another ego prof with no real-life experiences. i don't understand why schulich hires bunch of profs with no skills under enterprise setting. good luck on the schulich brand

I agree with the other students, he has some anger issues that he needs to solve, and sometimes he would drop the f*word in the class. He talks about emotional intelligence but he does not have it. At the end, he doesn't practice what he preaches to his students. Don't waste your money.

He has a very sketchy grading scheme. He acts like he cares about his students, he really does not. When he tells you to "please email me if you are missing class" do not fall for this trap... He acts like he cares but he really does not.

Trying to be respectful with my comment, this professor is like many comments have said lacking emotional intelligence, careless and rude. He has although a bright personality, the benefit of an engaging professor is overshadowed by his disregard for students, a god-awful grading scheme with pretty much no basis and does not respond to students.

Would not take this professor again, his grading schemes are like banging your head against a brick wall through the whole course, they are obtuse and have very little specifics. Additionally, his enthusiasm for lecturing does not translate to effective teaching - attending the lectures DOES NOT help for knowing final exam content.

The professor was rude and heavy handed with his use of profanity during class which creates an extremely uncomfortable environment. The grading scheme was illogical and showed little care for students' improvement. Save your time, money, and mental health and go for any other professor!

This professor is honestly the worst ever. His instructions are so long and useless. He says one thing in the beginning and says something else later. The way he grades is based on his own preference (if he like you, u will get a good grade). this was such a useless course. He talks about emotional intelligence but does not have that

creates test worth 40% of grade. only consists of 30 multiple choice questions. truly one of the professors of all time.

Not a good experience for students. Extremely vague and none of his classes have a clear lesson, think of it as going to have a conversation simply. Grades everyone on a same level, regardless of effort, and modules are very wordy and uneasy to understand.

Do not recommend at all. He portrays being a "friendly" instructor but makes unprofessional comments quite often. Course material has the potential to stir insightful conversations but he is too obsessed with his own beliefs and opinions for it to be any bit useful. Does not prep well for exams either. Overall structures course extremely poorly.

not recommended

The grading policy in this course was extremely vague. The lectures were confusing, and expectations were not clearly communicated. While the professor appeared to promote an inclusive environment on the surface, it became clear during grading. This was deeply disheartening and made the course feel like a waste of time and money.

He will grade a certain preferred person or group good. Not inclusive at all when he grades. He uses his perception while grading. Intentionally will grade very poorly few people, and that is very much evident. He sets the grade in his mind, remains the same regardless of the highest effort. Surprisingly, he shows inclusiveness in class lectures.

Bad grader

Very unfair marking, has his favourites.
