Goofy teacher with a great sense of humor. It's ridiculous how much extra credit you can get in this class. Downside: writing the business plan takes a huge amount of time, but you can choose to do an easier project though. He doesn't cover much from the book, more about keys to business success from his own book + personal experiences.

Professor Jackson is an amazing teacher!! He tells you on th first day of class, "NOBODY WILL LEAVE MY CLASS WITH ANYTHING LESS THAN AN A." And he isn't lying!! All you have to do is come to class. So easy, highly reccommended if you need a class to help you raise your GPA.

Really easy class. If you want an easy A take this class. Half of the class is extra credit. Some homework only about thirty mins. for each class. Tests are easy. He is kind of goofy both in the good and bad way. The most useful material in the class is his famous keys to business success. It is a businessman's bible. I still use it to this day.

Professor Jackson isn't very organized. He relies on his teacher's aide A LOT. I do not feel like I have learned anything. His tests are open book, he doesn't lecture on the book. He mainly focuses on the 20 Key's to Business Success that HE wrote. I wanted to learn something, not just get an easy A.

Professor Jackson is an experienced businessman. Although times have changed and technology has grown, many important keys to business success remains the same. Professor Jackson focuses on such key points and this is where the value of the class mostly comes from. Students aiming to get the most out of this class should focus on the keys.

Yes, he gives extra credit, but that extra credit takes EXTRA TIME. The tests ARE open book, but read before hand or test time is very long. He doesn't stay on topic and rambles, he does not keep up with every assignment and might lose your papers so make EXTRA COPIES! Keep all papers you get back in a folder, IT'S A LIFE SAVER.

This entire semester with him was like watching paint dry. Did not lecture once, talked about the folder for two weeks and the rest of the time "GALA". He tests you on his Keys and your answer must be word by word. You miss a key, you get Zero. If you want to learn and if you respect your time, DO NOT TAKE his class.
