Great instructor. Current prosecuting attorney. Very clear and precise. Course pack has all the lecture notes. Entertaining and interesting. Highly reccomended.

very engaging

Probably one of the best teachers. Don't be dissuaded by the evening classes. It is definitely worth it.

This guy is my hero. He takes all of his students out for coffee. He gets to know all of his students and he does an amazing job of portraying the material so all can understand. he one of the, if not the best professor i have ever had.

freely gives out letters of recommendation

Great class made better by a very interested and caring professor. Definately recommended esp. for non-business students wanting to get an overview of the law and our legal system.

Tod will be one of your most likeable teachers at the UW. He is funny, witty and entertaining while at the same time never losing your respect for his intelligence.

not an easy, easy class. but he's a pretty cool guy. his pop quizzes are a killer though - know all the vocab.

REALLY HARD CLASS, LOTS OF MEMORIZATION AND BEING ABLE TO APPLY THEM TO REAL LIFE SCENARIOS (AKA ESSAY QUESTIONS), FUN TEACHER, STUDY ALOT

The best professor I have ever encountered. The material requires a lot of memorization, but Tod makes the subject incredibly entertaining through his stories. He honestly cares about his students, during and after they take the course.

Tod is one of the best professors at UW. His humor, intelligence, and real life examples keep class entertaining. Hard class, but if you study a lot you will do well. You get out of it what you put into it.

Great class, not an easy class, requires a lot of hard work, memorization, reading, and you must attend all the lectures, but definitely worth it.

definitely not an easy class at all!! tons and tons of reading and sooo much memorization. tods super cool though. he really tries to get to know his students and makes it mandatory for you to go to coffee with him at the beginning of the quarter. great examples, you can tell he knows what hes talking about. its just really hard.

Although his class was difficult (eg. his pop quizzes can be tough and his tests are tough), his exams are designed to give an almost perfect curve. His class was one that i looked forward to everyday because his lecturing is enjoyable and funny. Also, he is genuinely interested in his students. I would definitely take this class from him.

Hard class because of the pop quizzes and loads of reading, but in the end, it's totally worth it. I learned so much and the classes were very interesting! He's a great lecturer and class won't be a bore. His tests are hard to because he's usually looking for a specific answer... that's where memorization comes into play. Take his class!

AMAZING LECTURER! I won't lie, probably my favorite so far in my 3 years at UW. His use of examples are fantastic and memorable, so it really helps out when it comes to test time. Tests are pretty hard, but managable if you study moderately & go to class. Take MGMT 200 with him, even though it is in the evening. Worth it!!!!

Best class I have taken in my 3 years at UW

One of the best classes at UW. Tod is an amazing lecturer and gives great examples. Your grade probably will not reflect how much you learn. It's a really hard class because there is a lot of reading and there are pop quizzes, but it's so worth it. I loved his class! Possibly convinced me to go to law school!

Def on of the best classes, and one of the most useful classes at the UW. The materials learned can definitely come in handy in this real world, and learning from him actually made me feel that i am smarter than the other kids.Tod is so cool and knowledgeable.Gives real interesting examples and cases and excellent clarity.Score well if study hard

Tod's class is difficult, but it has been the most interesting, engaging, practical, and rewarding class I've taken at UW. Pop quizzes are based mainly on examples from the reading, but tests are almost solely from lecture, so everyday attendance is mandatory. Great guest speakers and the hard work really paid off.

#1 Tip: Read the lecture notes before class. Also do the assigned reading, but reading the lecture notes helps drill the important info in in case of pop quiz. His lectures were entertaining so I didn't mind the late class times. He gives hilarious examples. Also really tries to get to know students! This class is tough but worth it!

Tod is one of the best professor I've every meet. His lecture can keep me awake even when I am extremely sleepy. He uses interesting examples and is a GREAT speaker. But his class is definitely not easy, though you'll do alright if you're welling to commit your time and effort into memorizing the readings and lectures.

Coolest teacher ever.His range of knowledge in his field is extremely vast due to his profession. Gives crystal clear examples to every cases which means lecture attendance is critical. Pop quizzes are killer though, you never know when one would turn up. Extremely hard class though I must say, you get minus points for questions you answered wrong.

Best professor & class I've taken at the UW. Most engaging lecturer I've encountered. Class is definitely harder and more work than the other management 200 classes however. Worth it if you want to learn.

Tough class, but rewarding. Tod is an excellent lecturer, and easy to relate to. Make sure to do all the readings.

Tod was an excellent lecturer. His speech was really engaging. But it was a hard class, the pop quizzes were killing me! You need to do ALL the reading! Also, never skip 2nd hour of the class, he likes to exam the material we learned from 2nd hour. Tips: TAKE NOTE of all his STORY EXAMPLES was very important, since you will have essay exam.

GREAT teacher and great class but grade is based on 4 (pop)quizzes, 1 midterm, and a final. He makes his tests extraordinarily hard, and points are deducted for wrong answers in the multiple choice sections. But nonetheless, enjoyed the class. He is a very good professor.

Haven't taken the final yet, but I can say that Tod is a great, great teacher who cares about what he teaches and his students. You will meet awesome guest speakers and Tod himself asks interesting, thought-provoking questions. He is the only teacher who blind-grades at Foster. The tests and quizzes are hard, but the class is worth the suffering.

Tod is an awesome prof! He cares more about his classes than any other prof. that I've had. This class is a ton of work. There is a heavy reading load, and pop quizzes are extremely detail oriented and difficult. You will get out what you put in.

Tod is one of the best lecturers I've ever been taught by. It is obvious that he knows what he's talking about. Plus, the two hour lectures rarely felt boring. But the pop quizzes are an absolute nightmare. My GPA dropped after taking his class. Try to focus on the stories he tells in class because they tend to be on the quizzes and midterms.

Great class and great lecturer. The tests are incredibly difficult (4 pop quizzes). You also lose points for wrong answers on true and false questions. Read the lecture notes before class. I repeat. Read the lecture notes before class. They really help. All in all, I learned a lot and really enjoyed taking this class with Tod.

Teaching 18 years for MGMT 200, Tod has great examples for criminal cases and he demonstrate the law through blind grading.

He's very passionate about the subject, and is a heck of a lecturer. However, the class is incredibly difficult. You are forced to keep up with reading because he gives four pop quizzes through the quarter and they account for a large chunk of your grade. If you want a great grade without much effort, this isn't the class for you.

He is one of the best lecturers I've had at UW. He is passionate about the subject and he also blindly grades. The class is tough. You get out what you put in.

Intense class but Tod teaches you everything he knows. He thoroughly enjoys the material. P

I enjoyed this class. Tod is passionate about the subject and you will leave the class with a lot of useful knowledge pertaining to law. Just don't expect a great grade unless you really commit to getting a 4.0. He writes glowing letters of recommendation as well.

This class was incredibly difficult. I learned a lot in this class that I'll use for the rest of my life. However, the way Tod set up the tests made them hard to study for. Try not to take this class unless you absolutely have to.

Probably one of the few classes where you'll learn a lot and still struggle to pass exams. He covers quite a lot in lecture but even then, it's only part of the text. Prepare to spend a lot of time outside of class reading and memorizing concepts.

He covers quite a lot in lecture but even then, it's only part of the text. Prepare to spend a lot of time outside of class reading and memorizing concepts.

For me as an international student, this class is hard as rock, but he is so passionate about the class. Listening him talking is actually a kind of enjoyment.

Tod's an amazing lecturer. He is the main reason that I have decided to pursue law school. But his grading is keeping me on the fence about it.

King County District Attorney teaching nights, shows how passionate he is about teaching. Great lecturer, slides are terrible tho (word documents). Grading 2 tests, group project and 4 pop quizzes which is how he gets people to come to class. Overall not too hard, minimal workload other than a lot of reading. Overall outstanding, passionate prof!

He is seriously an amazing lecturer. He puts a lot of passion and his lecture are very interesting and he always gives clear and real-world example. There are a lot of readings to do (both from the book and the course pack) and he does 4 pop quizzes (you can drop the worst one) on the readings for that class. I would recommend, but be prepared.

Amazing lecturer and I looked forward to going to his class. He gives pop quizzes but if you do the reading they aren't all that difficult. The tests are harder than the pop quizzes but they are fair. I would recommend taking this class as long as you're ready to do the reading.

Tod is a great professor who definitely knows what he's talking about. He interacts well with his students and gives clear real world examples to help his students better understand the concepts. There is a lot of reading assigned, but if you take the time to sit down everyday and do it, you'll thrive in his class.

He is a difficult professor but I LOVED going to his lecture because they were never boring. Make sure you stay on top of the readings and take good notes on them! He gives pop quizzes to make sure people go to class. The exams cover so much material so make sure you start studying for the exams at least a week before.

Tod is definitely one of the best professors I've ever had. He asked us thought-provoking questions, had awesome speakers in class, and gave interesting lectures. I would definitely take his class again just because he is awesome. Avoid Tod if all you are looking for is to fulfill the requirement -- he will make you work for your grade.

Tod is probably the best professor I'll ever have at this school. His lectures are engaging, he uses his real-world experience and excellent real-world examples to teach lessons, and he really cares about his students' learning. Very knowledgable about law and always fascinating to listen to. Always looked forward to this class. A+++

Tod is a huge beast. Favorite professor I've had thus far. Very engaging and smart, used his own experience as well as real-world examples to make the class much more interesting. Roll Tod

Favorite class I've taken at UW so far! Brings in real-world experience from being a prosecuting attorney, plus relevant news articles. Look forward to coming to this class every week. Pop quizzes force you to stay on top of your reading. Tough grader/writes difficult midterms. Don't let difficulty be a deterrent--his lectures are amazing!

Tod is a fabulous lecturer and contributed so much to this course. He cares about the student success, he is a fair grader, and he just "gets it." He understands what we need as students, provide great examples in class to engage us, and take time out of his weekend to meet and get to know us. . He provided guidance to us to navigate the UW.

Tod is an amazing lecturer and knows exactly how to keep his students interested. He has a great sense of humor and has great stories to tell the class. You can also tell that he cares a lot about his students. His tests are quite difficult because of all the memorization involved, but nevertheless, he is a great teacher.

Tod is by far the best professor I have had at UW. There's pop quiz so you kinda have to go to the lecture but you would want to go anyways. His lecturers are so fun and he used lots of real life cases. The class does require a lot of work but it is how law class is. You won't regret taking his class!

There are pop quizzes! but the lowest one gets dropped. the exams are so hard and alot of reading. But every class is so much fun and he makes it so engaging. Blind grading is done and that makes it so much more fair. There is so much reading so you need to start early. penalises for wrong multiple choice answer so beware.

Tod is the best professor I've had at the UW. He is engaging with his lectures, and is always willing to help and answer any questions. He actually applies a lot of the concepts to real world scenarios happening in real time, which again makes his lectures a lot more engaging. Dude is a beast

If you don't read you will fail, and reading takes 7hours/week if you're gonna read thoroughly enough to do well on his 4 pop quizzes. Tests are written in a way that you don't just need to know the material, you need to be able to critically think about it. One of the best and smartest lecturers I've had, and the hardest class I've taken.

Todd is really cool. Very smart, knows what he's saying and keeps lecturers engaging and interesting although he's teaching a dry subject. Give's a lot of examples and is very welcoming/not intimidating although the subject and work load might be. I would 100% choose him for this class if I had the choice.

Tod is a BALLER - his "day job" is being a prosecuting attorney so he knows his stuff. This class requires A LOT of work - probably 10+ hours per week of readings/notetaking, and his pop quizzes are intimidating. Go to CLUE, go to lecture to hear his relevant, usually funny stories. I'll only end a little above average, but still love this class.

The best professor I've taken at UW over the course of two years. He really cares for his students and inspires me to really question and understand application of law in our society. He genuinely cares for students, he's relatable, and his stories of crimes gone wrong made the class so enjoyable. Just simply amazing.

easily the hardest class i've ever taken. Memorization is NOT enough, you truly have to think like a lawyer. this class may tank my gpa, but bergstrom was fascinating and really knows his stuff. Will miss his personality but not how hard this class was.

Similar to Law, do not take Tod's class if you just want to fulfill the core requirement; he will make you work hard for your grade. 320 with Tod is only offered winter quarter, so it would be wise not to take a heavy course load with this class. Brings in great guest lecturers. Awesome guy. As always, lots of reading + difficult pop quizzes/exam.

Tod has by far the best lectures I've ever been to. Very engaging, never got bored, great examples. You MUST read all the assigned material, as there may be a pop quiz on it. He does not announce when the will be until about 2 minutes before the quiz. The quizzes and exams are quite challenging as it is a Foster weed out class. Highly recommend him

You'll want to go to every lecture, regardless of a pop quiz. You'll feel a need to impress him if you're in his class. Its a tough class but, very manageable if you put in the effort. Do the assigned readings the night before, review hours before lecture. Study HARD for the tests, it will be worth it. I got a an extra point for participation too

By far the most engaging professor I've had here at the UW. Class is hard - give yourself LOTS of time to review his lecture notes and content (and DON'T skip) and remember ALL the small stuff and the legal tests and you'll do well. Tod makes you work for it but doing well in his class is the most satisfying feeling. Also pop quizzes - study hard.

By far the best professor or teacher I've ever had. Engaging, funny, and very rational. This class requires constant reading, note taking, and studying because of his pop quizzes; but the class is well structured and organized. Tod knows what he's doing and you will get out of this class whatever you put into it. Worth the extra work.

Tod is a real G when it comes to teaching, but this class is very hard. Honestly I hated my life for 3 months, but lectures were extremely engaging. Once you get through the class, you will know a lot about law which is cool. Beware of Pop Quizzes, so you gotta show up to class or else you will get railed. He's the best for the class though!

Amazing professor but it's the hardest and most demanding class i've taken. I don't regret taking it with him though. Everything is so applicable to life in general. If you are considering taking another professor to make this course a bit easier, i wouldn't recommend that. It's not often you get a chance to have an amazing professor like Tod.

Ive gone through 2 years at UW and hes been by FAR my favorite prof. He makes the material SUPER relatable through his stories (90% of which are firsthand experiences, since hes a prosecutor). Pop quizzes suck, and his tests just rail you, but if you put in the work youll do relatively well bc of the curve. Just do the reading and go to class.

Tod is easily the best lecturer I've had in college. The lectures are long, but he intersperses a ton of storytelling. This class is difficult not because the content is hard, but because it's 100% test based and competitive. Also, for those applying to Foster - don't sweat it! The admissions team weights this class the same as an elective.

amazing professor! he has a plethora of anecdotes to share in class which helps you connect the concepts to the real world. I usually hate long lectures but I was never bored in his. You learn a lot in this class and I recommend everybody to take it. It's not an easy class, but the work is reasonable.

Tod is the best teacher that I have ever had. His lectures are incredibly entertaining and memorable, and the material in the course is really fascinating. The class is just really enjoyable, broadly speaking. The flipside of that is that his classes are really really hard. I have never worked this hard in my life. But, IMO still worth it.

Amazing instructor! Extremely knowledgeable, as he provides engaging anecdotes to explain legal concepts. There's a lot of reading--the most that I've ever done, and it's one of the hardest classes I've taken. Pop quizzes can get specific, and while Tod's section is more difficult, it's well worth the work. His incredible lectures make up for it!

Best professor at UW. All of the material you need to learn is clear cut. Good and easy to follow course pack. If you do the readings right before class the pop quizzes are easy. Tests are kinda hard, but you just gotta memorize a lot of legal tests. Easy if you spend some time with flashcards. Did well in this & 320 with him. Definitely worth it.

This is by far my favorite class I have taken at UW. Todd has taught me SO much. His lectures are super fascinating and he always holds my attention. He makes the material fun with funny examples and memorable stories. Downside: your GPA will get bodied by this class, but still worth it for the amount you learn. DO THE READING & GO TO CLASS.

Tod is the best professor I've had at UW so far. His lectures are densely packed with information but somehow, he makes it entertaining, insightful, and manageable for the two hours that you're in class. It's so relevant to society and incredibly eye-opening. It's worth taking at UW, don't do it online just for the sake of getting a 4.0.

Best professor I have ever had. He is extremely knowledgeable and gives amazing insight into his thought process on many legal situations. Pop-quizzes are hard and catch you off guard but keeps you consistent with note taking. Extremely hard teacher because he expects a lot from you, but produces the best learning.

Tod Bergstrom has been my favorite teacher at the UW so far. His class is hard and I spent many hours reading each week and he gives pop quizzes which essentially makes class mandatory if you want to do well. His tests are hard but they are extremely fair. His lectures are some of the best Ive been too, and he is extremely intelligent and it shows

This is one of the toughest classes I have taken, but it's definitely worth it with Tod. Tod is extremely smart and shares interesting stories from his work as a prosecuting attorney. His experience as a professor and from his practice makes learning and memorizing law much more doable. Expectations are clear-get ready for lots of reading!

10/10 great prof

His lectures are entertaining but he's a tough grader and gives pop quizzes. Make sure you always do the readings and watch the videos before class! Also buy a course pack, for some reason it's optional and I made the mistake of not buying one. For midterms and finals, pay CLOSE attention to what guest speakers have to say and take many notes

First of all, don't take this class if you're lazy. Tod is challenging but he is easily the best professor you'll have in your time at UW. He's a great lecturer, gets amazing guest speakers, and knows how to keep you engaged for the full 2 hours. There are pop quizzes and you absolutely have to do the readings for them.

Prof. Bergstrom cares about his job and is extremely passionate about what he teaches. He is engaging even during online classes. Would recommend.

Tod is an awesome lecturer, gives hilarious and interesting examples that are relevant to course content, and answers questions well. Each lecture has a LOT of content so take notes beforehand so you can catch what he says that aren't on the slides. Pop quizzes are rough b/c of the way things are graded but do the readings and you'll be okay.

Tod is an amazing professor who puts so much time and effort into making class interesting. 320 is very similar to 200 except there are more guest lecturers and a group project. I would recommend taking 320 the quarter after 200 or as soon as you can because there is some overlap in material and you get used to the pop quiz format.

Tod is by far the best lecturer I have ever taken. He explains almost every concept with hilarious anecdotes, and I learned more material than I ever have in a class before. There are four pop quizzes (one is dropped) and exams are extremely difficult, but his class is worth it. You have to work HARD, but everything is always fair. A gem for sure.

Tod is one of my favorite professors at UW. This class is hard, no doubt, but getting a good grade in this class is still feasible. Need to stay on top the reading. Be familiar with the concepts and tests in law. Those are a big part in the tests. Also you need to be comfortable to find details in story problems to apply the appropriate tests.

One of the best professors in Foster! Definitely choose Tod if you are taking MGMT200!

TOD IS THE BEST

Tod is an amazing lecturer and really smart. The tests and quizzes are comprehensive so make sure that you know all the vocab after you read every chapter and memorize hundreds of legal terms and tests before the tests. But, Tod does a great job of getting across the material in a way that is easily understood, especially with examples.

Tod is by far the best lecturer I have had at Foster. He is knowledgeable and passionate about law. However, this class was stressful, and there were 4 pop quizzes throughout the quarter and demanding exams. Listen to his lectures (write everything), go to CLUE, and do quizlets, and youll do well. I highly recommend Tod!

I <3 Tod. His class is hard for sure but his lectures make up for it, and he is very up front about his class format and what is expected. Get ready to work hard but the results are worth it!

Tod's exams are cruel and he absolutely plays favorites, but he is a very engaging lecturer and knows his stuff. Has lots of stories and connections that make long classes interesting. Reasonable and clear expectations that can be met if you just do the work.

Most engaging and entertaining professor in Foster. Extremely difficult class with a high workload, but worth every bit of effort. Very fair grading style and he blind grades exams and papers, so no favoritism. 320 with him is amazing, and the themes are captivating. You won't take a more influential class than 320 with Tod (200 is good too).

Tod is an amazing professor, maybe my favorite professor at UW. His lectures are very interesting, engaging, and helpful. Pop quizzes sucked but weren't actually too hard if you did the readings and attended lectures. It's hard to do well in the class but the whole class experience and Tod's relevant work stories made up for it.

Tod is a fun, passionate, and very smart professor who wants his students to succeed. His lectures were so engaging and memorable, which helped me stay very attentive, learn a lot, and do good on exams. I am also more interested in law now all thanks to Tod. My one regret is not participating as much in class, which I recommend everyone to do.

Amazing professor, just brilliant. Great lecturer, really knows the law since it's his day job. Be prepared to do lots of reading and pay attention in class. He does have biases towards students HOWEVER all grading for exams are done anonymously. His TAs (who grade exams) do not know whose exam it is. I thoroughly enjoyed this class.

This is the second class I've taken with Tod. This course is easier than MGMT 200, less reading and enough cross over from the previous class that the pace doesn't get uncomfortable, but Tod is just as engaging. If you have to take this class take it with Tod.

One of the best professors at Foster. Passionate. Knowledgable. Lectures are very engaging. Materials are relevant and useful. Great guest speakers. Exams are based on lectures so pay attention in class and take notes.

Tods was the best class I've taken at UW so far! The lectures were super interesting and he explains tough information so it was easier to digest and learn. Would 100% recommend his classes to anyone and would definitely take his class again. Beware of the POP QUIZZES though, there's 4, and 2/4 are announced before class. Best teacher at Foster!

Tod is the best professor I have had at UW! His lectures are entertaining and informative. However, the tests are hard and there are a lot of questions on details only briefly covered in class. Overall if you study a lot and do the readings, you will get a ton out of this class. I can't wait to take MGMT 320 with Tod!

Incredibly dedicated, intelligent, kind, and inspiring. One of my favorite profs I've had here. Also had him for 320. My younger brother came to visit before admissions decisions were released, and after finding out he was waitlisted Tod helped him personally with his appeal. Genuinely so thankful for Tod and his passion for teaching!

Tod was a natural great lecturer in any kind of scenario. He was able to make the law languagle the most beautiful poem in the world through using well designed examples. Tod had quite a lot readings and assessment pretty fun readings tho. I would genuinely accept a lower gpa if i am learning from a professor like TOD

I'll keep it simple. As of now, he does NOT do pop quizzes. He grades you on 3 of your best quizzes (out of 4). There is a midterm and final (non-cumulative). Yes, he is an amazing lecturer and I love his speeches, but be warned, his questions on quizzes and exams are tough! Take him if you don't care about grade and want to learn, if not stay away

Tod is an amazing lecturer, he knows how to make the content relatable. There are no more pop quizzes in the class, but the quizzes are still very difficult as you can lose points for guessing incorrectly on T/F. Your grade mainly relies on the tests/quizzes, so it's worth picking up good study habits for this class so you can do well on them.

Such a fun class. Tod really knows how to give engaging lectures. Lots of content to remember, but if you put in the work you will be fine! Four quizzes, one midterm, and one final make up your grade.

Excellent lectures. Extremely difficult tests and quizzes. Tod is great, but I fully expect to receive a very low grade in the class.

I came into this class expecting it to be extremely difficult, but it wasn't bad at all. His grading is pretty fair, and he no longer does pop quizzes. His lectures are very engaging & you can tell he's passionate. There isn't that much reading either. Just put in the time to read the textbook and you'll be fine.

Great professor, fun lectures, honestly the material is not as hard as some people make it to be.

I really appreciated how he was always energetic and passionate about making these lectures as interesting as possible for everyone. However, his grading is pretty tough so be prepared for that, and the quizzes/exams are even tougher. Stay on top of the class by doing all the readings, showing up to lectures and tons of notes and you'll be prepared

Super nice guy, very passionate about the topics. Grading is brutal and destroys your self-esteem. Beware his grading policies on T/F questions, I literally got a 0/30 on the first quiz because of it. Very knowledgeable but has crazy high standards.

Took him for MGMT200 and 320, one of the best professors I've ever had. Amazing lectures that you don't want to miss. The class is not as hard as people make it out to seem. Tod wants you to memorize broad concepts so simply studying definitions will not get you very far. I think this is where most people fall short.

FYI - other students complaining about the course difficulty should try taking a STEM class at UW and then reassess. Tod worked tirelessly to organize an extensive list of guest speakers for a Boeing 737 Max case, which made the class quite special and rewarding. He goes above and beyond for the students, and Foster is lucky to have him.

Tod is great at presenting and engaging with the class. The textbook readings are the exact same as the lectures, so please don't waste your time on them. Quizzes and exams will only reflect lecture material and the course pack articles/cases. Memorization is the best way to prepare for quizzes. The grading system on quizzes is strange, so beware.

Very engaging during lectures, approachable, and funny. Quizzes and tests are fairly easy as long as you go to class, pay attention, and memorize vocab from the class. There may be pop quizzes, but only if people stop going to the lecture (which is highly suggested, because he might test you on examples only given in class).

The class is tough but Professor Bergstrom explains concepts well and gives excellent anecdotes and stories to make concepts stick. Classes are definitely packed full of information and there's a ton of terms but the information is easy to understand. Both the quizzes and tests are hard and if you don't know the info, you will NOT do well.

Amazing lectures but goes through a lot really fast. Exams were hard and you have to know your stuff for the quizzes. Hated how all the lecture notes were on ONE 200 pg word instead of ppts bc "the class content changes too fast" and refused to change it despite a TA offering to do it. It made it hard to study for. don't get behind on readings!!

I love Tod! I had him as our study abroad faculty, and Tod taught us many things about Australia that we didn't know about outside the business setting. He was caring and funny and would went out with us often to create bonds. *This is not a traditional lecture course.

He gives helpful resources you can download and review. I studied hard for this class, and this class had a strong impact on me!! I loved the subject and found areas that I was passionate about. Not to mention the BEST lecture at uw in my opinion - very engaging with his stories and involving his audience. Tough grading system, be sure to know it!

The lectures are fast-paced and challenging, but Professor Tod makes the class engaging with great guest speakers. Prepping with unstuck ai and the textbook can help you stay on top of the demanding grading. Definitely worth taking if you're up for the workload.

One of the best professors I've ever had at UW. Tod is extremely engaging during lectures, making it worth attending class. While he's a tough grader, he presents the content in such an interesting way that preparing for tests feels manageable.

The quiz will seem really hard at first but keep up with the texbook, coursepack reading and lecture note and you will be fine

Tod is a super interesting lecturer. I learned a lot. But be prepared to take lots of notes. His FEW exams are very Memory based. There is also only a few things that count toward your grade so make them count. But he seems like a smart and energetic guy. Always enjoyed coming to class.

3 years at UW, this is the first class I've made an effort to go to every lecture because they are actually engaging and beneficial. You can solely rely on the lectures and course pack and will be set. All tests are COMPLETELY memory based, so don't forget to note everything, questions r made to trick you! No canvas is annoying but not impossible.

Sit near the front and you will be super engaged because Tod is one of the best lecturers at the U. Don't fall behind on the readings and you will do fine in the class. This class is graded on 4 quizzes, a midterm, and a final. Keep in mind that every MGMT 200 course is graded on a curve with a median ~3.0 so you will get the grade you work for.

Quizzes and exams require STUDYING! Do not let yourself fall behind in this class. Tod is a great professor with great lectures, but do note his exams are difficult. I recommend reviewing the content before and after each lecture to avoid having to cram it all right before an exam. Despite the heavier workload, I would take his course again!

Tod is extremely talented at engaging students in lecture. The concepts covered are very relevant and interesting, and he is very knowledgeable. That being said, the amount of work in this class is overwhelming, his grading is harsh, and success hinges on memorization. Create flashcards of everything covered/assigned and you will be okay.

Class is entirely memorization, the better you are at that, the higher the grade you will get. The key is to memorize entire lectures for the exams /quizzes. He has a very clear grading criteria. His questions are designed to trick you, pay attention to the wording.

Fantastic teacher and amazing content. You can typically miss 3 questions on quizzes and still get 100%, which is nice and can make up for a lack of study guides. Quiz and test questions can be quite tricky, but after a quiz or two you get a feel for what kinds of things he may ask.

Tod is an amazing professor to get to listen to while sitting through lectures. He keeps all students very engaged and makes learning interesting. However, his quizzes and tests are harder than I have ever experienced. Towards the end of the class I started figuring out the way he writes tests. Read the true or false questions word for word!!!

Even though this class made me decide to go to law school, it did kill my GPA so decide if u wanna take this class wisely. tests are very hard and really theres only so much you can study for, theyre just very detailed and theres some trick questions in there so be careful and thoughtful. Other than that the class is SO fun and interesting.

Best professor in the business school, hard class and lots of memorization, concepts are not to difficult but lots and lots of memorization. Great stories and in class examples, gets the class involved, incredibly interesting class and would definitely take it again

Tod is the best lecturer at UW. The class is difficult but you get the grade you work for if you study hard. Lectures were entertaining and examples using students were hilarious and helped reinforce concepts. Getting to know Tod is such a treat and conversations with him are never boring. Highly recommend doing his Early Fall Start in Australia!

Awesome professor and super entertaining. He is very passionate about what he teaches and makes it intriguing to learn. Has a lot of tricks up his sleeves for quizzes and exams so stay up to date with the course pack and readings! Quizlet was a lifesaver. Would definitely take his class again.

I took him abroad during the Summer, and he was a great professor; he is very engaging. The exams require studying, but as long as you pay attention in class and read the readings he requires, you will be fine!! It is a great class and Tod is a professor you should experience at least once while in Foster!

Tod is probably one of the best teachers I have taken by far. His lectures are super entertaining, he has great communication with his students, and always seeks what's best for you. His exams and quizzes are very tricky. This class is a lot of memorization. When taking quizzes and exams, read everything correctly; he purposely makes it tricky.

Tod is one of the best teachers I have ever had, I am not a foster student but this class if one of my favorite I've ever taken. All you need to do is go to class and pay attention in lecture, because all the quizzes and tests are 99% lecture content. His lectures are super interesting and it makes the class really fun

The best (and hardest) course I've taken so far. I was actually excited to go to class because his lectures were so engaging. I worked extremely hard to end up with a 3.9 but I also discovered my interest for law so it was worth it. If you don't read the textbook you probably won't pass.
