Professor Philips lectured to give the class real world situations and encouraged class participation. During the 8-week class, he brought in 2 guest speakers who were interesting. The course content is pretty easy, just do your reading and you will do fine. He does not like students coming in to class late after it has already started (I agree!!)

Took his course for an 8-week session and it was a breeze. His syllabus was reduced due to holidays and finals week. Had to guest speakers come in to lecture. Homework was easy and straight out of the book and so were his tests and quizzes. He posts and opens all discussions, quizzes and exams from the beginning of the term.

Look. He's great in the sense that his assignments/discussions are direct. Total 3 exams. No confusion there, but he is horrible when it comes to communication. If you have a question, don't bother asking because he will literally respond back with no answer to your question. I'm not exaggerating on that.

The professor was great! I like that he has the discussion and quizes every week. I do think that a bit more communication and reminders would been helpful, but if you pay attention to your syllabus, you are in good hands!

I took Professor Philips for an online class. His instructions were clear, and he posted all assignment details upfront. The assignment schedule followed the same cadence each week with the exception of case studies in which the details were posted at the beginning so you could work on them ahead of time. He also provided timely communications.

All assignments available at the start of the semester. If you do the work, get an A. When writing Case Study's they are reviewed by a Turnitin Report. Be aware of highlights that may not necessarily be plagiarism. Write a paper that is not a popular subject, work must be original or else points taken off. Overall, Great Professor!

Very easy class. The Professor took a bit of time to grade for case studies which is understandable because it's a lot. For the case study, it requires 1,000-1,400 words. Not really a hard grader. I will definitely take his class again if I have to. He is also very organized with the dates and quizzes required in the class.
