There is a reason why Mr.Patel Has 5 Starts He's not like other professors he actually cares and is very passionate about what he is teaching. The class is very fun and interactive. You have a short attention span? Don't worry Mr.Patel will keep you on your toes in a fun way . Patel Connects what he teaches to real life and current teachings.

The professor will ask a lot of questions and will choose students randomly to answer questions. He assigns a couple of Group Projects which count a lot towards your final grade. Overall, he is a very caring professor who wants you to succeed.

The professor is very kind and wants students to do well but had all the work for the term due on back-to-back days and was rude while students were presenting.

He is heavy on lectures and making the class conversational. There aren't any notes to be taken. It's best to just listen and and answer the questions he asks during class time. He is good for calling people out and trying to get everyone involved. Be ready to talk and participate. There is a lot of homework, but he is an easy grader.

He is very engaging and will call on you. You will need to have a name placard or paper with your name on it, I think it helps him with names. He is funny and tries to make the class interesting. The class is team oriented from the beginning. You will rely on your teammates if you miss a class to keep you up to date so communication is key here.

2 midterms that are open books and online without Lockdown browser. 2 group project : one simulation game and a report about a company. Class is easy.

I understand why he has a high rating on here. All of the work for this class is in the first 2 months of the semester and then you literally have nothing to do.

Tough simulation, long presentation, jokes a lot. but good

Good professor. Uses a lot of real world scenarios and implements them into his lecture! Very passionate about the future technological advances and running a business.

Prof Patel is a smart instructor. He actively engages students by randomly calling on them during lectures to ensure everyone participates and is listening. The grading system involves group projects, presentations, and a few exams spread throughout the semester. I would recommend him as a top prof at uncc.

Class was fairly easy, entertaining.

Dr. Patel is a very entertaining speaker. He provides many real-world examples in his lectures which he discusses with the class. He attempts to use humor to engage the class, although his jokes are, at times, poorly received. A drawback is that he has an unclear grading system with many assignments having no impact on the final grade.

Professor has two projects that are team based. CESIM was stressful at first but as long as you try and are willing to explain your reasoning behind decisions (even if they don't succeed) through the presentation it will be fine. The grading was not harsh however, be prepared to answer questions when presenting as he will put groups on the spot.

I took him for online strategic management and he gives good examples of what one might have to deal with in real life corporate world. I think he really cares about his students in his own way, and he makes things interesting. I would take his class again because he taught me things I know I will use further in my life. He is a good professor.

I took his IB class and I think he is a good professor. He just wants his students to learn what we might have to go through when we enter our careers. He gave us really good insight and valuable advice. We have to do CESIM which is a challenge but interesting. Then we have some individual work and two presentations that you do in a group.

Good professor, would take him again. A little disorganized but as long as you participate you will pass.

The only rough thing about this class is Globus because he gives no help on it

He connects with the students well

He is great Prof. The class is easy. I really learned a lot.

If you can take a joke and critiques then you will be just fine.

Took the online class, attendance is mandatory with cameras on for Zoom, pretty much there the whole 3 hours. The class can be tough if you have group members who don't participate. However, he is a pretty relaxed when it comes to grading and when it comes to his feedback, just go with it. He's the best professor for this class so.

He cares about the improvement of his students although his ways of going about that may be disliked by others. He will interrupt you, question every action and thought, believe his word above all... but instill resilience and critical thinking skills that are essential for success in the corporate jungle. He'll also unwaveringly defend Elon Musk.

When it comes to group presentations be prepared for LOTS of questions. Attendance isn't required but you should try to be in class. The professor is a funny guy and makes lots of jokes so lectures were for the most part enjoyable.

Professor Patel cares about teaching you the things you need to know. He does this in an unconventional way that many people do not enjoy. He does not realize how sensitive our generation can be, so some of his comments get misconstrued as offensive when there is no ill intent behind them. Presentations are rough, but you will learn from them.

Students complain about his comments towards them, but there is no ill will in his comments. He has an unconventional way of teaching that can be inconvenient and difficult at times, but overall he is effective and will make sure you learn what will benefit you in the future. Presentations are difficult but beneficial. The simulation the same.

Mr. Patel has an unmatched enthusiasm for the subject matter, which makes the classroom lively and exciting. Instead of just imparting facts, his lectures are fascinating stories that listeners are interested in and cultivate a sincere passion for the material.

Easy going. Talks about his life experiences and relates them to class lectures. Doesn't take attendance, but I recommend you go because he is engaging. Isn't a tough grader, however, will drill you with tough question while presenting because he wants to prepare you for the challenging questions you will face in the real world.

Attendance isn't required but when you do attend be prepared to be called on and engaged with. Professor can be intense at times, but cares about students passing and isn't harsh grader.

Very engaging in class, talks a lot about real world examples and calls on students to participate in conversation often. Mainly group work for the assignments/projects but not a tough grader.

Literally the easiest class I've ever taken. Only professor I've ever rated because it was so easy.

Professor Patel's lectures are full of valuable and insightful information. You are required to read and do a lot of assignments outside of class time, so if you fall behind in those it will affect your grade. He really values engagement and showing up to class. If you are present, answer questions, and have a good attitude you will pass the class.

I had a great time taking this class and I suggest Dr Patel's for anyone pursuing a business degree.

Professor Patel truly cares about his students. He uses a management simulation, two group projects, and two exams to force students to learn something throughout the semester. However, he is a very easy grader and cares more about what you learned than the content of projects and the simulation. 10/10 recommend him for the capstone course.

Taking this class with Professor Patel was so worth it. At first, I had heard that he was going to grill our groups and give us a really hard time with our presentations, but in reality he just wants to challenge his students to make sure they understand what they're talking about. Overall, extremely easy class, easy A, and professor is a nice guy.

Professor Patel is a great professor. He values participation and attendance. If you show up, answer his questions, and participate in class discussion you will do well. There are two group projects and quite a few other assignments, but overall the class is easy. He is a really nice guy and I enjoyed his class.

I took Patel for MGMT 3280 and he can be stern at times but there's a lot of opportunity to receive a good grade in this class. Globus simulation was probably the hardest assignment in this class. Overall, I would definitely recommend!

He is a very chill teacher. Be prepared to write a couple papers, make PowerPoints, and present them. Everything you do is group work. You us a simulation called Globus for most of the semester which everyone gets a good grade on. Overall he's a nice guy who emphasizes the power of AI.

Professor Vijay was awesome all semester. Didn't make class boring like other college courses. Take him!!

Vijay had an entertaining class, if you show up and put time into globus there is no excuse not to succeed. The exams are open book and online with no lockdown, and outside of exams he is an easy grader. Presentations are more of conversations with him while you stand in front of the class.

interesting class

He's knowledgable, funny, and cool. If you attend the class, you will pass. The only disadvantage I would say is that he will make you feel uncomfortable presenting if your work doesn't satisfy his expectations.

Dr. Patel is a good professor. He does want his students to be included by being involved in the class. But I wish he did not criticize students during presentations because he would technically be the one presenting, not the group. So that is one thing that he does need to improve on.

Professor Patel is passionate about student learning. He uses engaging activities like a management simulation, group projects, and exams to ensure students are actively learning throughout the course. Professor Patel prioritizes understanding concepts over getting perfect grades. He's a great choice for the capstone course - highly recommend!

Professor Patel is passionate about teaching and truly cares about the success of his students, in his class and beyond. He can come off rude at times and has a weird way of showing constructive criticism, but he means the best and wants to help. He keeps everyone engaged through humor. Overall, I learned a lot and would recommend Professor Patel.

Dr. Patel was a very enjoyable professor to have for this course. He seemed to be extremely passionate about topic of international business and always gave great examples during lectures. The exams are super easy, completely online and open note. For presentations, he tends to critic constantly with many pauses, but overall the class was great!

This class was great. Dr. Patel was a kind man and encouraged participation. The syllabus was clear, and assignments were not very challenging. However, grading assignments took a while and PowerPoint presentations were too long due to constant interruptions. However, Dr. Patel is still the best option for MGMT 3280. Strongly recommend.

Love this professor! This class is very lecture heavy so be prepared to sit through them but the Prof Patel's personality makes up for it. Big Cesim project and a couple smaller assignments here and there but it really wasn't bad. He can be seen as a harsh critic but I think he just wants the best you.

Grades are very light in the class, but he is generally an easy grader. He tends to try and bond with the students, which leads him to say some questionable things, but he means well. I would recommend taking this class in person, because it is a lot more confusing online, plus he will commonly have connectivity issues.

He is very engaging with his students and will try to make connections from the lecture to current events happening in the world. He is also an understanding professor.

Good luck with CESIM, overall was a good class!

Very engaging professor who challenges you ON THE SPOT. But if you don't know the question or just wasn't prepared he won't harp too much or push you too hard. Group projects happen throughout the semester with the same random group. Professor is very opinionated but not in a harmful way more so he has knowledge to apply to us and is funny.

Loves Tesla and Elon Musk, talks about them basically every class. Tests are very easy and straightforward, group projects are pretty easy and presentations are easy, he likes to joke around for 5-10 minutes at the start of class but mainly does so by making things up about students, kind of strange. Overall a very OK class.

Prof. Patel is someone who has had a lot of experience in the real, and as a result, provides a valuable perspective. This class is relatively straightforward, focusing on collaboration and enhancing public speaking abilities. Prof. Patel challenges you during the middle of presentations which I found unique and extremely beneficial.

Professor Patel is a very good teacher. He makes us laugh in class and tries to make connections with us. You must work with your group to receive a good grade on Glo-Bus for his management class but other than that just attend class and interact with him and you should pass.

Professor Patel is a good professor. He likes to make jokes and wants all of his students to participate in class discussions. If you go to class and participate, you will get a good grade.

Professor Patel is very involved with his class and encourages discussion! Several group projects but there is enough time allocated between them to work diligently. Course focuses heavily on Glo-bus simulation.

Overall, this is a great class to take as a capstone. Now that you are close to the end, this is one class you can take and not have much pressure during the semester. The group projects are terrible, no accountability for those who do not contribute. Other than that, not bad. He is opinionated, so get over it. Just smile and get the A.

There are a good amount of group projects but they are all easy as long as your group members do their part. Professor will pick on random people to contribute to the conversation. Lectures can be kind of boring but just be prepared and talk with confidence. Tests are easy as well. They are online!

Overall really good professor for mgmt 3280

Lots of group work and only have about 7 grades assignments including the projects/exams. Very lecture heavy but overall is very interesting.

Overall, the class was easy as long as you show up to most classes and do your group projects. Assignments aren't hard but you have to have a good group.

You will learn a lot but it may be overwhelming and stressful for most bc of his teaching style. Overall good experience. Would recommend it over any other professor teaching this class.

it was okey

Great teaching style and was excited to go to class. Take him!

Take him if you want an easy A and an easy class.

Great experience and very funny and respectful teacher, would take again.

Dr. Patel is good overall. The class has a period where papers are due week after week, but it's more than doable. Be prepared to be interrupted during presentations though and PRACTICE THE GLOBUS SIMULATION! Everything is group work in this class outside of exams (super easy though), so pray you get a good group cause he assigns them randomly.

Easy prof but just watch out for group projects. If you end up with a bad group, you're doomed.

Cool professor, pretty easy class. They use Globus which requires you to work in the same group throughout the semester. Two easy exams, two quizzes, and a couple slight projects.

His class consists of group work & a simulation called GLOBUS, 2 presentations, & 2 exams. His class is not very challenging if you put in the work. The only struggle in class is that during the presentations, he will be harsh & drill your group with questions. Yet, he won't grade harshly. You will just feel flustered during presentations.

Great class, 2 papers and 2 group presentations. And you will use Cesim, honestly Dr. Patel is very nice, he does fill class periods on tangents vs. slides but he is very good. I would absolutely take him again.

Very informative professor, had engaging lectures, seemed to be very passionate about his field of work!

Passionate Professor, very evident how much he cares about students and their success.

I enjoyed the class with Professor Patel, I learned a lot about strategic management and to develop as a professional.

He likes to engage people in his lectures and class is mandatory so pay attention because he calls on people at random. There are not many grades so it can be kind of difficult. Absolutely loves group work; pretty much every assignment aside from the test will be done in your groups.

Professor Patel is huge on class discussions and participation. He divides us into teams at the beginning and everything besides exams are done in a group. This can be helpful because there are a lot of reports. I would take a class taught by him again.

He loves Elon Musk!

He loves Elon Musk! Participation is important to him.

Professor does a great job of simplifying topics and giving real world applications. He is knowledgeable and wants the best for his students, causing him to push his students in discussions/presentations which feels like a lot of pressure, but is helpful. Attendance and participation is mandatory and the course is almost fully group work focused.

Took this class online as a summer class. All the assignments are team based and you get assigned a random team at the beginning. Professor Patel is a funny man and he has great discussions in his class. I would take him again!

Dr. Patel is a very pleasant professor. He keeps the conversation flowing and keeps it entertaining and interesting. This course is graded by few assignments but they are all team based except the exams. Take him!

Professor Patel made class interesting by always having his students engage in conversation with him. He talked about things going on currently and showed lots of videos. He loves Tesla and Elon Musk. I enjoyed his class I thought it was interesting and he is pretty laid back.

A very personable professor, he cares about making a connection with students so as to better pass along his teaching points. As this was an online course, there was much more back and forth during the lectures, which felt more like inquisitive conversations. Overall, an effective teacher on the subject.

Class is great and well thought out highly recommend taking any classes with him.

The professor is really passionate about what he is teaching and he really does care for the success of every student he teachers. Participate consistently every class and take the time to put in the work for the assignments if you want to do well in the course.

Great professor, a lot of experience. Be ready to participate on all sessions

Great class. This review is for a 5-week summer session, the course was demanding. Lectures are engaging. Participation and attendance is required. The professor wants to see you succeed and learn.

professor cares about learning the material, exams are not terrible, definitely pay attention in class,

From the very first lecture, it was clear that Professor Patel is deeply passionate about the subject. This enthusiasm was infectious and motivated the entire class to engage more deeply with the content. His lectures were well-structured and clear, breaking down intricate concepts into manageable and relatable pieces.

Runs on tangents but very good professor. 2 tests and two presentations plus glo-bus. I would absolutely take him again.

Was not too bad for a summer class. During this class you do a lot of group work and a couple of projects. Overall it's a pretty easy class that allows you to think on other levels when it comes to running a business.

Was a very fast paced class in the summer and wish the assignments were spaced out more. Overall, really enjoyed the class and teamwork.

I thought the professor was a very cool guy and he was the only professor who embraced the use of AI like ChatGPT. I feel like his lessons really set me up for the future and he was a fair grader

Professor Patel encourages participation. He uses humor to lighten the mood of the class and get everyone relaxed. The Globus simulation is so confusing and stressful, and if you get stuck with a bad group you're toast. He simulates the real world in presentations when he grills you, so you 100% have to know to the letter what you're talking about.

Took this in summer term. 5 weeks. While the assignments were stacked together because of the compressed semester, I loved how quick and to the point it was. I feel like taking this in a full spring or fall term would be harder.

Great professor!

You will be fine if you have a good group and the communication is good. The assignments are not very difficult. Two exams and Globus assignments. The exams are open book and open notes.

Professor Patel makes this class engaging. Attend lectures and put in the work - you'll learn a lot. Tests are manageable if you stay on top of things.

Professor Patel is an engaging instructor who encourages active participation. The workload is manageable with exams and presentations. I found unstuckstudy ai helpful for preparing, alongside the course materials. Overall, an enriching experience.

He's a pretty good professor. Does his best to make class an interactive & enjoyable experience. He likes to joke around quite a bit which overall is enjoyable but occasionally he can ruffle some feathers with comedically intended statements so if you are EASILY offended his courses may not be the best for you. Group projects, 2 exams, light work.

Professor Patel is passionate about his subject and does seem to care about the success of his students. Online? Cameras must be on. 2 Exams, 2 Team Projects (Paper & Presentation for each). Unneeded political commentary, I'll never understand why professors feel the need to do this. Otherwise, a great experience.

Professor places high value on class participation. Group project is centered around Globus Simulation project. Professor uses lectures, videos, and real-life examples to explain and explore business concepts. Impromptu questions happen frequently, which may make some students uncomfortable, but as long as you engage, he's harmless.

Overall, good experience. Be sure to have your camera on, participate in class discussions, and give him grace. He has good intentions but can come across as abrasive at times. You will primarily use textbook to study for exams. Although he lectures at almost every class, the material is not straight from textbook, but tests are from book.

Dr. Patel is a very interactive professor. He teaches through lectures but will often call on people to get them involved. Group work and presentations make up most of your grade, but he will provide a lot of feedback and guidance if you ask for it.

Professor Patel was awesome, he is very engaging with his lectures and cares to see his students succeed. He will call on people throughout the class quite frequently so be prepared to get called on. Lots of group presentations & projects as well so make sure your surrounded with people that will contribute. Exams are also asynchronous and easy.

Dr. Patel was a great professor and really made sure that we understood how to apply the information we were learning. He was really witty and got to know each person in the class through his jokes haha. Assignments and exams were very easy. He sees something special in all of his students.

Professor Vijay Patel is knowledgeable and brings a lot of real-world examples to class He's approachable and willing to help students outside of class, which is always a plus. he's solid professor who genuinely cares about students' success.

Lots of group projects, but the class is not too difficult. He goes off topic during classes at times, and attendance is not always mandatory.

All and all Prof Patel is a nice guy. He rambles in class a lot but lectures aren't mandatory and the test are online. I find it too be a super easy class we are only graded on 4 things. two test, Cesim, and a group project. I would take him again.

Dr. Patel means well in everything that he does, but does get off topic at times in the class. Uses humor to keep everyone engaged. Pretty lecture heavy, but class attendance is not really mandatory. A couple of group projects and presentations during the semester that make up most of your grade along with 2 exams. Not an overly difficult class.

I had professor Patel this semester, and i really enjoyed his lectures and his hilarious comments. The exams were easy and the presentation as well. TAKE HIM IF YOU WANT an A

Professor Patel is really a good professor to take this class with, i enjoyed his lectures every time i go to class, cuz he teaches you by experience and shows you how to use the tools you got to learn and engage, the exams are easy and the presentations was a not that difficult to worry about just follow his instructions.

Professor Patel is very caring. This class is group work heavy, just make sure you coordinate with your group and you'll be fine. Just show up and you'll be okay. Cameras were mandatory for online class. Tests were open note.

They're knowledgeable and passionate about teaching. Their lectures are clear and engaging, and they're always willing to help with questions or feedback. If you put in the effort, you'll not only do well but also enjoy the class. Be ready to work in groups and put in effort!

Overall I think his class was enjoyable. The classes never felt forced and he made the material interesting. The group projects were also a much better experience than classes I had before. He definitely isn't a "read off the slides" and goes "off script" but it's what makes him more interesting than others. Also I learned a lot.

He was very cheerful and tried to make the class more interesting but sometimes he would go off on tangents. He did not get grades in on time and it was almost all group work. Be prepared to be grilled during presentations.

Lots of group work, but overall if you show up to class and participate you should be able to end with a good grade.

Class wasn't too bad. 2 tests and two presentations plus glo-bus.

Patel is a super interesting professor and he has a lot of personality so keep that in mind. There are times where it is lecture heavy and also times where he will be looking to the class to respond. Make sure to actually show up to class, especially when there is group work so you can interact with your team and ask questions about the assingment.

Dr. Patel is demanding but fair. He really wants his students to leave his class being strategic thinkers and value added to any organization. He go above and beyond to keep the class interesting. There's not a lot of homework, but there are multiple group projects throughout the semester.

Dr. Patel is a fair professor and makes the class enjoyable. He cares about his students' learning and their development to prepare them for their professions. Grading was heavily based on two exams which were open note and two group projects one placing a heavy emphasis on the Globus simulation. Show up to class and you'll do well.

The professor is pretty easy, and would absolutely take the class again!

Professor Patel is a caring professor who wants great discussions. He uses humor to get some of his points across and loves Elon Musk. In the online class, I felt he could have cut some things out, like some videos, because they would lag half the time. Overall, he is a good professor who wants students to work hard.

Don't worry about the quiz for glo-bus. Don't even study for it. It's worthless and no one gets above a 50%. No websites will help you with it. Everything else is easy in the course, just be prepared for lazy teammates. That's the only big downside.

Professor Patel was a fun and caring professor. He makes the lectures interesting which helps me want to engage in the discussion. Glo-Bus was hard to understand at first but you'll become comfortable using it over time. Overall, I would suggest taking Professor Patel!

I would highly suggest taking Dr. Patel! He engages with the class which keeps you on your toes. His assignments aren't hard and you have plenty of time to complete your Glo-Bus projects and presentations. If you attend class and show an interest, you won't have any problem getting an A!

In my experience he was very caring, funny, and willing to meet you halfway if you needed it. If you missed an assignment and went to talk to him about it he was very understanding and would open it up. Only problem was the simulation that we barely received guidance on. And oftentimes he makes jokes or jabs at students expense but not maliciously.

If you want a professor that actually cares about its students and mot just grades you have him. This professor is not typical, because he brings real life examples and applications of the topics in his courses. He goes above and beyond to make sure his students succeed.Participation ways heavy, so make sure you can be available for his class.

Be prepared to be called on during class. Just attend lectures and pay attention and you will do fine. Most work is done in teams.

Dr. Patel cares about his students and really wants us to learn. Some things about his class are off putting. Be prepared to be called on in class and for some unwarranted remarks. Overall, put on thick skin if you want to take this class. He does not put in very many grades but if you show up, you should be able to get an A.

Nice guy. Be ready for the class itself to be a little all over the place but an easy A. Would recommend.

Overall good professor. Show up to class, and you'll learn a lot. Be prepared for unwarranted jokes or comments. A LOT of group work, so make sure you communicate with your group on assignments. Take the time to learn how to use the simulation, as little direction is given.

Overall this class was good. He is very kind and leads thoughtful discussions that make you think. Most of the coursework is a little unorganized but it isn't very difficult.

Prof. Patel teaching style is quite freeing. He uses this course to prepare us for real-world management scenerios and it was done extremely well.

Prof. Patel teaching style is amazing for this course. Rather than the traditional method of teaching, he implements a heavy amount of group work as this course is meant to simulate real world management roles.

Professor Patel is engaging and knowledgeable, connecting theory with real-world examples. The course includes insightful discussions but has a heavy workload, with challenging exams and group projects. If you're prepared to work hard, it's a rewarding class. Overall, a solid instructor for Strategic Management.

Professor Patel overall is a good professor. However, his lectures do not match the homework/projects. He assumes you know what to do and has a little bit of an attitude when you ask him questions. He will cut you off when you present, so be prepared for that. He also will randomly call on people during his lectures.

He was easy and very understanding.

Patel was a great instructor who provided valuable insight on how the real world was. I learned a bunch and we used a simulation called Glo-Bus which ended up being a bulk of the grade. He does not take attendance but it is important to attend class for group work and so that you understand assignments. I did not care for grading structure.

Professor Patel values class participation and discussion. If you participate in class, follow directions, and engage in conversation with him, you will end the class with a decent grade. His course has a group simulation as well as a couple projects with the same group. Overall, he is a very smart professor and is very wise in the business world.

Prof has been amazing, makes the class engaging but you have to show up to get good grades. Open book exams and Group projects so just be wary of deadlines. Overall, A fun experience

Professor Patel is a great teacher. His class consisted mostly of group projects and little to no homework. He usually lectures all class just talking about different things, sometimes up until it was time to go. Don't get offended if he calls you out; it comes from a good place.

Interesting class. His class is mainly just discussion so be ready to discuss real world operations. Globus is kind of difficult but as long as you and your team stay on top of it from the jump you'll be just fine. Attendance is "mandatory" but he doesn't actually take attendance so do with that as you wish. Overall good professor.

Great Professor. Cares about his students. Would highly recommend

He was chill. Just make sure that you go to class. Tests were easy. A couple projects you have to do but nothing crazy.

Dr. Patel is a great professor. His lectures tend to be lengthy, but they are very informational and engaging. The course has a lot of group work, but he will help you if you reach out. He also likes to call on people randomly in class to keep you engaged. Overall, he's a good professor who's very knowledgeable and wants you to succeed.

Dr Patel is must take for MGMT 3280. He cares about his students and wants you to be engaged in his class. Would definitely recommend taking his class.

The class was mainly lecture heavy, and almost all work was done in your group which is determined in the beginning. He emphasizes participation a lot, and will call on random people too. Sometimes he can come off strong and pick on you a bit in front of everyone. But tests were online, he was not a tough grader, and it wasn't hard to pass.

This class is heavy on group projects. You get randomly put in a team at the start of the semester and you will be on that team for the rest of the semester. If you get a good team, then you don't need to stress about anything. 2 big papers with 2 presentations, 2 exams, and a couple of small assignments. Overall, I'd take Dr. Patel's class again.

Prof. Patel's class is an easy A, just do the work and you will get an A. Says he takes attendance, but it is not for a grade. You do 2 group projects with people he chooses, which makes or breaks your grade. He likes to talk a lot, would have gave him a better rating if he didn't talk about politics the whole time.

Professor Patel has no filter and will tell you how it is. He is good at teaching and cares about his students. Lots of group work, online exams and a lot of feedback.

He was a decent professor. I took his class online once a week and the lectures were VERY long and boring. He would cold call on you so be ready to answer at any time. He is a very tough grader on presentations and will cut you off and insult your performance. Globus wasn't that bad, just hope you get a decent group. Overall not too bad, but tough.

As long as you complete all work and help in group work you will do well

You will be working in groups for most of the class. There are not many assignments, but the class was fun and relatively easy.

This is a real world class be ready!

This class was very discussion-based; most of the time we just listened to him talk about Elon Musk. You are mainly graded from the Glo-bus simulation, case study presentation, and 2 exams (which are open note), as long as you do the work, you will do just fine. We did have to do a lot of the groupwork outside of class but very easy for a capstone.

If you don't wanna be called on, then don't take this professor, but he's not too bad. The class is very project and teamwork-heavy.

If you look at all the other reviews of this professor you will see no matter what they have to say about him, they got an A in the course, and honestly if you can put up with some jokes in the class and aren't easily offended, you'll have a great time in this class just like i did and most likely get an A too.

Very fun class, the whole class was involved and discussions were valueable.

Dr. Patel is a very caring professor. I had him for International Management and Strategic Management, and he is cool. He is an easy grader, and if you try, you will earn a good grade while also learning to manage a business through online simulations. One thing you should be prepared for is being interrupted while presenting; he does that a lot.

Dr. Patel has been one of my favorite professors to take at this university. The way he presents himself, you can see that he has a lot of passion for teaching, and wants to leave the students with something they will remember. If you are willing to attend class every day, join discussions, and participate in groups, then this professor is for you!

Good class

Professor Patel is amazing! If you listen to what he says and follow his advice, you'll learn a lot and do really well. He makes the material easy to understand, keeps it engaging, and truly cares about students' success. Participation matters, and the class is light but effective. Would 100% take him again!

It was a good class and grading was easy everyone who is complaining is just ungrateful

Professor Patel was a good professor, I took him over the summer and it was a pretty easy class and I did learn something. It's all group work except the exams but show up and participate and you'll do fine. Study Glo-Bus before you start and you will be even better off. He does not participate in course pack so you will have to spend out of pocket

Dr. Vijay Patel is an excellent professor who explains material clearly and makes complex topics easy to understand. His teaching style is organized and engaging, often using real-world examples to help concepts connect. He encourages questions and discussions, creating a comfortable and supportive learning environment.

I was afraid to take this class when I first started as I did not understand much about Strategic Management. Professor Patel gave great feedback and answered questions when asked. He related what we were learning to the real world to give us a better understanding. We worked with a program called GloBus which enhanced what we learned.

Professor Patel was very friendly and helpful. I did not understand much about strategic management when going into this class and I feel I have a better understanding now. Working with the GloBus program was also extremely helpful.

Patel is a great professor. He will call on you in class so be prepared. He likes to talk and discuss so if you are quiet in class be aware. His tests are not hard at all, most assignments are group projects. You will have to pay out of pocket (not included in niner course pack) for a platform. Overall, I would take him again.

Taking this class with Professor Patel was worthwhile. I'd heard he could be tough on presentations, but he just pushes students to truly understand the material. The course has 2 exams and 2 group projects with reports and presentations. Even with the workload, it's still a fairly easy class and he's a genuinely good professor.

Professor Patel is a simple cheerful guy who does his best to make his lectures interesting and engaging. You will have to work with a group for the entire semester. You will use Glo-Bus. There are not many assignments but the few that you have are very time consuming and require effort. He does his best to provide useful feedback.

Professor Vijay Patel's class is straightforward if you show up, communicate with your group, and stay on top of deadlines. Exams are taken outside of class. He's experienced, fun, and while the assignments can feel tedious, they're easy and mostly concentrated into three weeks.

He is a very understanding professor. There are a lot of group assignments and presentations during the course so please be sure to work effectively with your group members.

Dr. Patel is sweet and caring. Yes, the group projects are a lot, but hold each other accountable & assign parts to everyone. 2 in my group focused on the simulation, 2 focused on hw, quizzes, assignment, and I focused on the report and ppt. Use ChatGPT as an assistant! 2 exams, 2 reports, 2 presentations. Match his humor and you'll be fine.

Professor Patel is definitely a caring teacher. He genuinely wants you to learn and succeed. Almost all of the assignments are group projects, and most of your grade comes from just a few major assignments. He really enjoys interacting with students, so be prepared to speak up and participate in class. Note: He never replies to emails 🙂

He says he teaches his class "at an MBA level," but his course is so beyond easy if you just show up and give a minimal amount of effort. He LOVES AI, so much so that he DEMANDS you use it on assignments, and add your input on top of what AI gives you when you put the prompt in. Presentations are super easy, they're more a discussion than anything.

Dr. Patel is an amazing professor; he does an amazing job not only making you think but also challenging your ideas. He uses dry humor and really prioritizes keeping students engaged as well as thinking. Patel really believes his students can do anything they put their mind to, forcing you to think bigger and more strategically.

This is a relatively easy course when taking other upper level classes. If you do your work and follow his rubric you will get a good grade. He teaches like a true professor in a discussion/lecture style, but be prepared to listen to his personal opinions and rants. Attendance isn't mandatory but I would still show face. I recommend!

He isn't bad. During presentations, he will question every little thing that you have said, but he's a decent guy who cares about his students. Will make sure you pass he has mentioned you have to try and fail. Not to many assignments would take him again.

Overall, he's a lighthearted and chill professor. The class was easy, as we were only graded on presentations/reports and exams. The exams were online and open-note. His grading is not quite clear. He also does his best to give everyone grace when it comes to grading, and I don't think anyone has done terribly at all. Would take again.

Dr. Patel is a great professor; he does a lot of lecturing during his classes and is a huge fan of using AI. He only has two tests throughout the semester, and you have a semester-long group, which can be good or bad. He has a few group presentations/papers during the class, but that is about it. I thoroughly enjoyed his class!

Great professor. The course looks a little scary at the beginning but he helps you get where you need to be and teaches you a ton of things at the same time.

You'll have two online exams—a midterm and a final—and both are pretty easy. There are also two semester-long group projects that he assigns at the beginning of the term. He also gives about 15 minutes every class for group work. Attendance is strongly recommended, but your grade won't be affected if you miss class.

Professor Patel is a really nice guy, he wants all his students to do well in class but sometimes his grading scale is unclear and some of his assignments are kinda confusing. Overall he's a fun teacher but he needs to clarify a few things.

Genuinely wants you to succeed in your career, but he has a funny way of showing it. Can come off as very demeaning when interacting with students who have an opinion that is not exactly what he was looking for (including politically). Easy class tho. Easy grader, and class got out 3 weeks early (he does that every semester). Scattered canvas page.

Vijay is truly the best. Attendance isn't mandatory. Heavy on simulations and group projects. Simulation is confusing so definitely ask for help if needed. He doesn't want to fail anyone so as long as you put in effort and do the work you will be fine. He seems to love his job and really cares about his students.

Professor Patel does a good job at making a supposed hard course easy. He has great real world experience that he ties into the course and overall he is a funny guy.

Professor Patel's class is lecture based and includes group work. Material is not difficult and tests are online. Class included a few presentations but nothing bad.

Professor Patel is incredibly knowledgeable in every area discussed in class and encourages discussion. He also operates some portions of class like a management team in the corporate world as opposed to being a professor just talking at you for an hour. Useful experience from my perspective.

I learnt a lot in this course. Be prepared to discuss in each class and engage in group discussions. The grade was based on group work, presentation, and exams. He cares a lot about the students and their future. The attendance is mandatory. In conclusion, I definitely recommend this class.

Dr. Patel is a very direct person. He will offer harsh feedback, but always in the spirit of improvement. You will be assigned a random semester-long group on day one, which is who you will work on each assignment with. Communicate and work well within your group, attend classes, and you should find an easy A in this class.

Veijay was an excellent professor who used real world experience to teach you. You will receive a random group on the first day and that's your group for the semester. There are 2 presentations and 2 exams and a simulation. The exams are easy and open note, presentations are different for everyone but I thought were easy. Would recommend

Professor Patel was a super-engaging professor. The group projects you work on are pretty easy as long as your group communicates. Two main tests that you definitely need to read the textbook for, but not too hard. The only downside is that he misses some topics, so you have to go through the textbooks and PowerPoint.

Elon Musk!

The class was lecture heavy which can get boring at times but interesting real world examples used to explain the course topics covered. You have the same group assigned to you for the entire semester to work on easy group projects and a simulation. There were two presentations and classes got done early.

It was def a interesting class but i would take it again!! I had a set group as soon as class started from the beginning to end so hope you get good mates! You will have to buy a program not included in the course pack, i fought tooth and nail to get them to include this but it was futile.. Only met once a week for 3 hrs and he used all the time.

The lectures lacked structure, but he makes sure you understand the material. As long as you show up to class and work well in your assigned groups, you will get an A.

Easy professor. Make sure you show up to classes he'll remember you and it will be more beneficial to be on his good side. We had an online simulation which was pretty tricky but as long as you and your group work together you should be fine.
