the professor does not care at all. he doesn't even actually do the teaching, some other guy who doesn't know anything about the exams does. first time I met him was the day of the exam and he was what you'd expect from someone who doesn't want to be there. at the same time, he's the kind of guy who can't fathom people finding his subject boring.

Hello, Homework was on MyMathlab which you have to buy for the class it will auto-grade it for him. There are discussion posts for the class that you must answer every week and reply to your classmate. In this case, the deadlines were improper. Exams 2 x taken on PorctorU. One should avoid it. Never take his Asynchro class. it is not worth money.

His instructions are unclear and his layout and structure of the online course make it difficult to follow. It seems like he thinks economics is the greatest thing ever and dosen't understand how anyone can find it boring. He also spams the class with emails which is quite annoying. Overall a terrible professor, avoid taking him.

Since this was an online class, your grade is like 90% pearson (homework, quizzes, and exams). He was extremely timely with emails and very nice, knew his stuff if you asked him. I only got a D in this class because I hate online classes and kept forgetting this class existed honestly, but he still passed me with a D.

I got a B despite not doing the best on the exams. He replied to emails very quick and was very nice and caring. Does not deserve the rating he has.

This was the most boring class I've ever been in. This guy wouldn't ever show up to class. Would make exams extremely hard. Very rude professor. Has weekly “essay” announcements that would be written like Shakespeare. Would have 3 hr lectures on Friday that attendance was mandatory for. Would not recommend taking his class. Go with the online.

The exam 1 is worth 40% OF THE GRADE and worst he make it 80 QUESTIONS. He also writes announcements LIKE A ESSAY. I thought this class would be easy but the exams make it damn near impossible to get an A

Worst Prof at NJIT. VERY RUDE to students. Thinks he is Christopher Marlowe. Homeworks were all on Pearson (Terrible homework software). Lectures were super boring and unentertaining. Exams are worth 40% so its very easy to fail if one of your exam scores are bad. Wouldn't ever take this guy again. He is a "Mean one Mr Grinch". He is the Grinch.

I usually avoid bad reviews, but I have to be honest. Bonitsis was the worst NJIT professor I've had. He responded to emails fast and gave lots of extra credit, but assigned weird due dates, used the unreliable and expensive ProctorU, and often sounded rude in emails. And the Homework and exams were so difficult. Glad I won't take him again.

The class should have been an easy A but it took a lot of effort to even end with a B+. ProctorU is annoying and the exams are 80 Pearson questions. However, the professor himself responded quickly by email and tried to keep the class engaged even though it was all online.
