easy in grading.but you have to do all tremendous workloads of assignments.

He's excellent. He makes you work very hard, but when the class is over, you realize it's one of the best you've taken. He's also easy on the eyes. Nice guy.

He's awesome! He worked with me outside of the classroom hours to bring me up to speed.

It is a lot of work, but it's relevant and helpful. This class is a must for anybody going into the world of business. Prof Soucy is great and easy to understand. He seems young, so that may explain his easygoing manner. He is more than willing to work with a student in need. And, yes, he is very easy on the eyes. Cute guy, definitely a plus.

Soucy is cool. I f**ked up & he understood & gave me tons of 2nd chances. Dunno how he is in class but online it was cool. Should be gettin an A & for u folks who didn't ace his class, wat was so hard??? Easy class, online tests are stupid easy, but the online network is crappy & unreliable. Take him online for any prereq's & walk away with an A.

He Rocks!

Just got done taking this class online got an A this class does have a lot of work but nothing to complain about. He is very fair and I think this class was way easier than I ever expected. I don’t know what most people are complaining about I highly recommend this class at least online he makes it clear what is due and when due it is due take this

Took this class online kind of a lot of work but it’s an easy class just do all your work and you will do great. I recommend that you take this class online. I got an A in Class.

online course requires a good deal of busywork and small assignments, but material is very straightforward and he grades loosely. Would have gotten an A but opted not to do presentation. If you do all the assignments, you will be fine and its a good class to take in general. useful info.

I agree with everyone else. The course has a lot of work in it, but if you keep up each week, you'll do fine and most importantly, come away with some great information. The book is good. Lots of technology and good info on letters, reports, ect.

Not an easy course, but plenty of time to do the work. A lot of writing. Steer clear if you are a Japanese student with ESL. Overall; worth it.

Got a B and completed assignments on the weekends. Grades hard, but if you do the work, He's totally cool!

Take this class! I love Professor Soucy. I don't know why there's bad reviews. He's hands off unless you need the feedback. I met him three times on campus with issues. Helpful and cute.

One of the best classes I've had at SMC in the department of business. Take it if you want exposure to all aspects of communication in business. Lots of writing and you meet on campus once for presentations, but the tests are a breeze, as he gives you a lot of time to finish them and they're pretty much open book.

Tough teacher, but good class. Overall.

I have no idea what that last guy is talking about. This is a great class and Prof Soucy is there when you need him. He gave me feedback when I asked for it. He has 90 students and the class is all writing. He can't respond to everyone! Nothing lazy about him. One of THE BEST online classes I've ever had at SMC. Period.

This class is 100% online. Mainly self-paced. Prof Soucy gives assignments on Monday and they are ALL due Sunday each week. This worked well for me, but I know many students thought it was too hard. It's not. You need to be disciplined. Other Business classes at SMC are lame--simple tests. This class makes you think and you learn alot.

Great class, self-paced. Just do the work on time and you're guaranteed an A.

As far as online classes go, this is one of the best I've taken. Often times online classes can just be too much but this class is organized really well and set at a comfortable pace. You might be surprised at the work load if you wait until the last minute on Sunday.

Awesome class. Just do the work and you get an A, B, or C.

No lie, there is a lot of work, but it's straight forward and clear. Just do the reading, work, and tests and you will get the grade you deserve. The tests are TF/MC and correlate to the text. This class is not an easy A, you need to use that heavy organ behind your eyes in order to pass.

I took this class online, and just finished it with a 92%. The tests are one hour long, open-book and all the answers can easily be found in the book. As far as amount of work: There's tons of work involved, but as long as you do your best-you'll get full points for your homework. Do not fall behind, and do not procrastinate. You will earn your A.

Took online class. Easy to do well if you do all the work and read the book. Lots of weekly work but not difficult. Tests easy, business report challenging

I took this class online with Professor Soucy. The material was very straight forward. There is a decent amount of homework, but the majority of the homework answers are right out of the book. There are 2 very large assignments that account for about 30% of the grade but he grades fairly leniently. A+ teacher!

Took his online class in spring of 2008. There is a lot of work, but nothing ridiculous. Most of the homework assignments are quite simple, test questions are straight from the book. Very fair teacher. I worked hard, and got a 93% overall.

Prof Soucy is a great online instructor. The class is hard only in that there's a lot of work. Deadlines are firm. But if you do the work and follow dates you can get a B.

Online BUS 32 class is VERY informative & interesting. Prof. Soucy is strict with deadlines but is helpful & responds to emails right away. DON'T take the class in winter unless you have no life, as it is a 16-wk class crammed into 6 weeks - you WILL bleed homework, homework, homework 24 hrs a day, day in day out! You WILL drown in papers weekly!

Don't ever do the 6 week version of this class. It requires the stamina of a marathon runner. The material isn't hard, but it's more work than Acct 1 and Eng 1 combined. I can't believe this is only a 3 unit class. Soucy himself is great, but seriously, do the 12 week version. I got an A, but there were several sleepless nights.

prepare to do a LOT of work for his online class. easy, but time consuming.

I have no idea what the last few people are talking about. This associate professor was awesome. The assignments were clear and straight forward. A LOT of work for sure, but doable. He gives feedback when you ask for it. He makes that clear at the beginning. Great email contact from prof.

Took this online class last spring. Solid. You work at your own pace. Not for everyone, maybe, but I came away with a B. Seems like semester class is better than the 6 week. Soucy is the bomb. Totally approachable and nice. Wrote me a recommendation letter in 2 days of my asking.

100% Online class. Professor is tech savvy - uses You Tube for video presentation and an ebook for the class which saves $$. Aplia is used for online homework. I worked hard, but learned a lot. Worth it. 'Nuff said!!!

Six week summer course, goes super fast, a lot of work but no more than any other 6 week class. If you have every worked in an office this class with be super easy.

Awesome class. Learned an incredible amount and it was all good stuff. Resumes, Interviews, Biz writing, etc. Prof emails all the time. He gave me a B with a 79.6% because I had done every assignment.

One of the best classes I ever had. He is very intouch with the class by emails. If you wanna learn something, I recoment this teacher. He gave me a B! cuz I did all the assignments

I took the online class. He is a very good teacher and is CRYSTAL CLEAR about what you are to do. He gives the impression that he is always happy to help when you need it via email by very quickly responding and asking if you need more help. Also he grades very quickly! TAKE THIS CLASS! :)

Decent class. Great Professor.

This class was great. 100% online. Work is due every Sunday night at 5PM. Grades posted on Monday morning. Prof is great communicator. He answers emails immediately, and uses You Tube for presentations, which is cool and cutting edge. Very helpful class and teacher.

Great professor! I took his online class. He is really good about responding to student questions within 24 hours and the entire course was very straight-forward. It was not a difficult class, but there was a lot of homework, especially at the end of semester when you have two big projects due and regular homework assignments on top of that.

Wonderful professor, would take him again. for online class it was great, all assignments due every sunday at 5, online book, everything straight forward, responds to emails quickly and answers every question. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I wouldnt agree with the negative comments

Class was excellent. Professor was really friendly and responsive to all emails. The syllabus has every date and deadline on it. Great textbook too. A+ all around

This class is NOT an easy A. You will have to work your tail off in this class. There is a 15-page report toward the end of the semester. Stay on top of your work and you'll do fine. Tests are easy and homework is easy if you follow the syllabus. Be warned to not take this class in summer. Way too much material.

I just finished taking this 11 week Business Communications class. 2 chapters every week and a minimum of 6 homework assignments due every Sunday. It's A LOT of work. But it's nothing hard - mostly busy work - and very easy material. I got an A and didn't even read the book. I just did all my assignments on time.

I took the class online and overall such a great class! Do all the assignments and it's guaranteed to receive an A. Assignments are very clear and just make sure to submit all work before Sunday.

Awesome class. Amazing professor. One of the best online classes I've taken at SMC. Clear communication throughout.

A lot of homework assignments, but they are easy. There is a huge project towards the end of the class, but he at least gives very clear instruction for what he wants it to be. Tests are pretty difficult even with it being an online class (can look up answers in book).

Taking 6 week summer course. Class would be easier to handle with more time but the work isnt too hard. Very time consuming for me. He answers emails within two days and is very clear in what he expects in his assignments. I suggest starting the report as soon as you can choose a topic if taking intersession course.

6 Wk. Summer: Class was cool. Lots of busy work but it wasn't difficult. An assignment a day keeps the stress away for this class. Learned a lot. Start report research ASAP. Responds to emails within 2 days and is helpful. I would take him again!

The class has a lot of work but he is a very easy grader and if you look at the syllabus you know what to expect for the weeks to come. I took this class online, mad sure I started my work early in the week so i can finish by sunday. Had to do an online presentation and a 15 page paper. Don't let that discourage you it was very simple

If you're looking for a Business communications class then definitely take Professor Soucy. He answers all your questions, he's clear about the work and you have two chapters of work each week, 1 midterm and a final. Its an easy A, just make sure you do the work. I missed a few assignments and got a B. Great Professor!

Not too bad of a class. There is a decent amount of weekly assignments but he grades them relatively easily. There is also a midterm, final, formal report, and video presentation. All of those are relatively easy as well. Definitely recommend for Bus 32, just make sure to stay on top of your work and you'll get an A.

A lot of homework. Quizzes for every chapter, they are not timed. Huge project towards the end of the class with a business report of 15 pages, but if you read the chapters, do your homework and spend time in the project, you will be fine. In general very useful and class with a lot of practical tips that will help you in the workplace.

I'm almost finished with this course course. 12-weeks a lot of work but manageable. There are excellent discussions and a bunch of writing assignments. Tests are multiple choice.

Excellent! Despite his recent spite from students, he is a fair grader. The only thing I didn't do well on was his last project. Other than that, I got perfect scores on all his homework. If you try and have a more business-minded responses than he'll clearly know your trying. After all, it is business communications.

For student who are afraid to work, this 100% online course is probably not right for you. I found the professor to be totally supportive and approachable. He responds to emails within minutes of receipt. I had questions on a Business Report assignment and he held a Skype session as he's not on campus. I learned a lot.

Enjoyed the online Business Communication 32 class. I work full time and go to school as well so the weekly assignments and discussion board worked well for me. He is a fair grader. I fell behind a tiny bit because of work but caught up and received a completely fair grade. Quick responses through email as well. That I like.

I recently passed Professor Soucy Business 32 online class (6 week course). It was difficult because it was a short amount of time to absorb a lot of information but not difficult to understand if you put in the work (homework/reading). Soucy was clear in his lectures and had a clear grading scale. I enjoyed the class very much!

I think hes a great, understanding guy. I just finished his 6-week BUS 32 course and another course (different teacher). He gave me an extension on a few assignments towards the end of class because I was very stressed out from taking two 6-week courses. He responded to my emails within a few hours, and seemed friendly.

I took his class online during Fall 2017. Prof. Soucy is a great professor, hw is clear. As long as you do your assignments on time, it is not hard to get an A. There is a big project towards the end of the course, but he gives enough time, plenty of resources and provides feedback. At the end youll have a resume & cover letter, reference list.

Took his class during Fall 2017. As long as you do your assignments on time, it is not hard to get an A. Be ready for a big project towards the end, but he provides a ton of resources and plenty of time. Grading is clear and fair, provides good feedback. As a bonus, at the end youll have a resume and cover letter, reference list. Highly recommend!

If you just follow his instructions, he gives you a fair grade. He's reasonable. There was a part of a major project that required some "SWOT Analysis from MarketLine," but at the time, Marketline was charging for the information, so I turned to another source that was free and he accepted it.

I took Bus 32 online with Soucy and have learned so much about business and how to properly communicate in the business world. At first the workload might seem overwhelming, but with the right time management skills and dedication to perfecting your work, you can get an A. I appreciated resume/ business plan assignment!

This class was amazing and the professor was excellent. He genuinely cares about his students and the course material including the time he took to create video lectures for every chapter of the book from McGraw Hill. I learned so much that I will use in my work life.

Professor Soucy is clear in his expectations for the class. In my experience, he is very responsive and fair. The professor recognizes when his students are working hard. His feedback is inspiring and helpful. I highly recommend taking Bus 32 online with Professor Soucy so long as you are willing to work for your grade.

This class just takes a lot of effort... but I would take him again if I had the chance. Every week its a list of things you need to do. It will be bad for you if you just wait until the night before. Otherwise, pretty decent teacher. Would recommend if you know how to keep up with online work.

I'm not even going to major in anything close to Business, but I was so glad I took this class. The assignments are useful and always interesting. This class can teach people a lot of stuff and Soucy is very nice. I am very lazy and procrastinate but I finished with an A+. (Online class)

Bus 32 is one of the best courses taught in the department of Business at Santa Monica College. Useful material. Steve Soucy is a great professor. He sets the class up well during the first week. It's all online, more self-paced. You know what's expected of you. He created video lectures which cover all the chapters in the book. Very helpful.

While this class does have a good amount of assignments, Soucy doesnt put pressure to submit perfect work. He recognizes when you put in effort - & rewards you with perfect scores. As long as you complete the assignments on time, youre basically guaranteed an A. Plus, the textbook is an easy read & actually really useful in the real world!!

Probably the best teacher I've ever had at SMC. In my opinion, the only one that showed genuine care for his students and their success. I wish more teachers at SMC were like professor Soucy.

Professor Soucy developed all the lectures that accompany the textbook from McGraw Hill. It's a great substitute for interaction in a 100% online environment. He's caring and understands that students juggle a lot. He's clear on when things are due and often sends out emails reminding everyone to keep up with deadlines. Great class.

Online class, nonetheless, Soucy structured course in a way that was clear, engaging, and most importantly, the content was relevant. A solid choice, folks.

An example of a perfectly structured online class! It seems like a lot of work at first but if you just read the chapters youll breeze through most of it. The discussions and writing assignments are engaging and will test your knowledge without being too difficult or daunting.

As a Business student, I really enjoyed this class. The assignments are really beneficial in the real world and they're not difficult to complete. He also gave good and positive feedback. If you're thinking about taking this class, I definitely recommend it!!

Prof Soucy is a gem. He cares. He answers emails 24 hours a day. A lot of the class is self paced. Theres writing but the assignments are worthwhile. I left the class with an updated resume, a business report, a portfolio of materials. He gave me extra time due to a family issue. Really understanding and compassionate and cares about his students.

In my 1.5 years experience of online classes, Prof. Soucys class was the most organized and the easiest to absorb. I learned a lot and actually enjoyed doing that.

The class is well structured. It was a 6-week course for me. Each week I had to complete 3 1-hr assignments via connect, 3 discussions w/replies, 2 written assignments, 3 chapter quizzes, and 2 major assignments that cost me -40 points for being a mom, personal sacrifice. He is very policy oriented. He does responds asap. A+ is certainly possible.

2022 Winter BUS32, A 6-week course Weekly Assign: 3 discussions w/replies 3 chapter quizzes 3 - 1hr McGraw Hill connect assignments 2 written papers Week 5: All of the above + detailed business report Week 6: All of the above + cover letter, resume, reference list, TY note, story STAR method. *Avoid personal matters or you will NOT get an A

Professor Soucy has created video lectures to accompany the textbook and these work well in the online environment. I needed to schedule a Zoom call with him for help on the Business Report assignment and he scheduled with me immediately. He answers emails within minutes of you sending. The course is well organized and you know what's expected of u

Finished the winter class yesterday. 6 weeks run time made it intense but its very clear whats due and when and you need to be able to pace yourself with the assignments. The first three weeks are foundational and the last 3 weeks are intense workload wise. Steve sends great reminder notes each week. Hes cool approachable and on Zoom.

college level writing class so put in effort and you will get a good grade, course material is straightforward and presented in a structured format that makes it retainable. Despite a demanding workload, the writing assignments are relevant and practical for the workplace. Prof. Soucy grades assignments very quickly and responds to emails quickly.

BUS 32 is a popular course at SMC and Prof Soucy does a great job setting up the online course inside Canvas. No surprises here: the work, expectations, and date drivers are organized in the syllabus. Soucy recorded Video Lectures that accompany the Cardon text and requires students engage with them w/ quizzes. He's a solid and inspiring teacher.

The class was pretty straight forward everything is outlined and clear. There was a some work, about 4+ assignments a week mostly online textbook and discussions which don't take that long. I would say that he's a fair teacher, answers questions, and a good grader. Just do the homework and you'll be a-ok

BUS 51 was an amazing class. Prof Soucy gives the lectures and the book is full of cool readings and info. The course is thought provoking and explores issues of International Business Comm. Soucy adds additional material to the course to keep it fresh and relevant for today. I really like Prof Soucy. He offers Zoom meetings & checks in each week.

This was an async class and everything was pretty straightforward. Beware that some assignments are due at 5:00pm while others at 11:59pm. The workload was pretty easy except for the final project (15-page research assignment) which we only got 6 days to do, I asked for an extension but I got -20% on my grade. He is a pretty lenient grader though.

Professor Soucy was an amazing teacher. The course is 100% online so you have to self pace. Tests and assignments were fine. You just have to do the readings. A lot of thought went into course design and assignments. Soucy created all the McGraw Hill lectures that accompany the Cardon B-COMM textbook so concepts are reinforced. I learned a lot.

Took this class spring 2024. I had a medical issue near the end of the semester, and needed an extension on a few assignments: Prof Soucy was supportive and helped me get over the finish line on the course. Kind and caring teacher. BUS 51 has thought provoking content from a text and through some integrated video lectures. 5-stars

BUS 51 is a course on Intercultural Business Comm. Perfectly orchestrated survey and introduction. Prof Soucy is an excellent facilitator - all online - no mandated Zoom meetings (that's the way Santa Monica College runs their online courses). He was available for extra help sessions. Soucy works in theater and film. Cool professional background.

Just wrapped this course (BUS 32) yesterday. Professor Soucy was a great online instructor. He created all the lectures, grading was fair. You have to do the work, but the structure set by due dates and the syllabus keep you on track. I learned so much in this class! All practical real-world assignments. On of my favorite classes in Business.

Great class and professor, but fair warning to anyone who tends to procrastinate. The deadline for assignments is typically at 5PM on Sundays rather than 11:59PM.

It is an easy and fun course if you stay on track as it can easily pile up - each week you have about 3 assignments per chapter and there are usually 2 chapters due. He is very nice, inspirational, accessible out of class, caring, and is an easy grader, but again, don't underestimate the workload.

Professor Soucy was amazing. BUS 32 is a self-paced class and you have to stay up on the work each week. I learned a lot and it influenced my work life immediately. Do the work on time and you're fine. There were 60 students in the course. I'm sure he has his hands full with grading. It's a lot. Grades were posted within 12-24 hours every week.

This class was pretty straightforward. The workload was manageable, with regular assignments and quizzes. I found the unstuckstudy tool helpful for study prep alongside the course materials. Prof. Soucy is a fair grader and responds promptly to questions.

BUS 32 was one of my favorite classes at SMC. I walked away with so much great information that I could start using in my professional life, immediately. Updated my Resume & Employment Portfolio. Instructor Soucy helped me obtain an extended trial to course materials from McGraw Hill. He's a caring and supportive teacher. Prof and Course: 5-stars

Chill dude. Easy A, just do the work. Ima be so fr, his workload for the class was actually insane. Like at my 2 years at SMC his connect assignments take 3 hours+ each AND you have to do 3 discussions ontop of that. Just do the work and get an A. Not a hard grader. Grades on completion from what I noticed
