What can I say. Tim Kemp is the most dedicated, knowledged and most realistic teacher I've ever had the please of encountering. His boardroom sims really put a perspective on the real world presentation style. His lectures are interesting and fun (he doesn't do textbook lectures, got to do textbook reading on your own). Overall Great Teacher!

Amazing. Not a conventional instructor; doesn't show slides of the textbook. You use the text for weekly quizzes worth 5% each, and for group projects. Expects you to at least skim the weekly chapters. Shows you relevant events that you're going to have to deal with in the real world. If you love profs that review chapters, find another instructor.
