Avoid this class, if you don't want a bad grade. A lot of work, given that its a second year class

lots of paper, preparing for those paper is going to take all your time. Therefore, going to get bad grade in other classes. Please don't take his class.

horrible prof

bad class, please take the class with a different proff

professor bad with words, dont take his class. Rude to students

Makes OB more complicated, Avoid his class if you don't want to be stressed out.

did not like his teaching style, also sometimes he imitates other ethnic people's accent. I think that is just rude. I got an A+, but I had to work ten times harder for this class. He made the class way more difficult than it needs to.

Took his class in my first year of post-secondary education. I believe I share the popular opinion of at least 3/4 of my class in saying that the entire course is based out of the book and attending all of the lectures is next to unnecessary. You essentially can just read the book, skip the lectures, and you're good. Doesn't respond to anybody btw.

Doesn't seem to really care about the teaching material he goes over. For his lectures he generally reads straight off of a PowerPoint and then will sometimes ask questions to the crowd. The labs for this course are mandatory and are worth participation marks. Is really vague with what he wants but is a tough grader when it comes to reflections.

All of the class material is based on the textbook, lectures are pointless since he just briefly explains the textbook but expects you to copy or remember his lecture speech word for word. Midterm and final were multiple choice but unfair since they include tricky wording, unclear questions or the answer could be 3/5 choices but only 1 is right...

He doesn't answer any emails or questions, is never in his office & gives no clear instructions as to what he is looking for on any assignments, tests or projects. Tests are all multiple choice & on the most obscure aspects of the text, before tests mentions every possibility to be kicked out & receive a zero. Overall horrible professor!

Vurain has a lack of organization-skills. He encourages students to email him or to go to his office, yet he never replies to his emails and he is never in his office. The midterm class average was a 44% and he won't curve it. His expectations are unclear and the midterms do not reflect what was learned in class. Nice guy, but a terrible prof.

Vurain is a horrible prof and very unhelpful. He never answers emails and his lectures are useless. The only reason for the lectures is to receive points but reading the textbook is you best bet to pass. His tests are multiple choice but a lot of the time 3/5 answers could be correct. If I had the option to pick a different prof I 100% would.

Read the textbook. All the tests are based off the textbook material. The lectures and labs were a complete waste of time but easy points added to grade. Vurain isn't helpful at all do not waste your time going to him for help. He acts helpful but he really has no idea what he is talking about.

Honestly you could not show up to any lectures (many didn't) and still completely understand the course just by reading the textbook. I'd say the same for labs but showing up rewarded points and there was a lot of group work that required meetings. Overall, very poorly developed course, and a hard-to-comprehend professor, he was all over the place.

"A 70 means you're meeting expectations!" is the motto of this class, where grading on reflective responses are completely arbitrary, and exams use subjective language with more than one possible answer. I have a 4.0 in my 5th year of University and this first year course is the toughest mark-wise I've had the displeasure of dealing with.

Seem like a really nice person and wants the class to ask a lot of questions and create a conversation atmosphere. Not a lot of people did the readings and there was also a lab as the second class during the week. I hated his lectures. If you take his class prepare to have it be. Prepare to have it be the #1 class that takes all your time.

Has unrealistic expectations for this class . He highly encourages students to email him or to go to his office, but he does not answer his emails and he is never in his office when he has office hours. He seems like a good guy but would not recommend as a prof. Would not take this course as an elective.

Nice guy but he should not be teaching. Lectures are useless, a waste of time although attending is mandatory because he collects assignments and hands them out there, does not respond to emails and is never in the office to reach.

Not a very nice guy, his lectures are awful. Would rather watch paint dry. They are mandatory because hands out assignments that are due at the end of class that goes towards your mark. MAKE SURE YOU READ!!!!!! Don't even bother emailing him , not worth your time he most likely wont reply..... DONT TAKE HIS COURSE FIND ANOTHER PROF

didn't understand anything. huge class, he tried to be funny, teaches less and tests on more. remembers your name sometimes.

Tabvuma was the most difficult teacher I ever had, with a lot of homework and useless quizzes taking up most of the time. As the foundation of the management course, it really doesn't have to be too difficult for students. His examination was hopeless. I will never choose this teacher again. Unless it's all his classes.

So, I had to take him because he was the only prof teaching MGMT this semester. I highly recommend you avoid him at all costs. He gave a ridiculous amount of assignments for what we were learning and his Midterm was a nightmare. 40min for 30 multiple choice questions, and next to no time to complete it. Worst prof I've ever had by far.

The lectures are pretty pointless, it is basically just him reading the bolded and italicized points from the book. The lab work was simple, and you'll more than likely get a high mark just bypassing it in (little to no feedback on work). The exam can be quite difficult(study your notes). I would have chosen another prof, but he was the only one.

Boring, dry lectures with no useful information, just lots of 'this is explained in your book'. Every week there are so many random, useless tasks not related to management at all. They make this supposedly easy course as hard as they can, this was my least favourite prof/TA experience. Take it in summer/spring w anyone else if you can.

Nice person, but doe not know how to teach. Useless lectures, useless tasks, so much work.

Not a good professor. Expect a lot of um, like, you know in the lectures. Shows a lack of confidence. It is interesting in the presentation, it was taken in consideration if we used those filler words as well. Not setting a good example, if your professor does it every minute in his lecture.

Awful. Nice guy, terrible prof. Clearly does not know how to teach. Very disorganized course, with a lot of pointless extra work worth next to nothing. Very little guidance and brutal at answering emails. Didnt open the textbook or look at the lecture slides once and passed with flying colours. Do not take this course with this prof.

The class was extremely disorganized and confusing

Do not take this class. I haven’t learned anything about business management, they do not answer your emails, do not explain anything to you. work overload, lectures that go on and on about nothing. midterms are so stupid, 30 multiple choice and you have 40 minutes to complete. so many extra assignments that are such a waste of time!! avoid.

Great Guy, Very understanding and will meet you eye to eye. (Not literally) Though his lectures are miserable, long and disorganized. I was in his furthest behind class. We are 4 weeks in and we haven't even started chapter 2 due to idiotic questions which he responds with lengthy explanations of what he just taught.

Most content covered within the lectures is not useful in the assignments and the lectures feel long and grueling due to the way he delivers the content. Not to mention the countless times where there were technical difficulties resulting in rushing the content because of said technical difficulties.

His lectures he says are useless, nothing from his lectures are in the exam its all from the textbook. Classwork is very easy but midterm exam and final exam are difficult to study for because no outline was given or what chapters to study from in the textbook. Just a very bad prof never answers his emails and very boring lectures.

As a person, I can't sing enough of his praises. he loves what he does and it almost acts as his downfall because during his lectures he tries to go into topics to such an extent for every slide we never make it to the end and the cycle of pushing the slideshows for the week prior and when it really matters during the midterm and exam its book work

I found the lectures to be quite boring and not nessecary, as he told the lcass don't copy his slides for notes as they are for him and won't be on anything we learn. You gotta know the textbook in order to do well in this class but overall the class isn't hard. Just read the textbook, on a second note his lectures are pointless.

Vurain is not a good prof. His lectures felt very lazy, and he made the course so much more unenjoyable than it should've been. He was also very unorganized, as he would randomly skip sections without letting students know, and the Birghtspace was a mess. If it wasn't for the exit slips at the end of each class, I would've skipped every lecture.

he's nice but his class is so unprofessional, his class was my least favourite class i had this semester and if i didn't have to take the class i would've dropped out

This prof is a joke legit sucks at teaching horrible at being a professor honestly should stop being a professor super nice person though he just sucks at teaching his calling is not teaching only gives you like an hour for your final exam and your midterm he's like such a good nice person but just a horrible teacher

Horrible teacher in general had the worst TA of my life just Overall not a very good teacher definitely should stick to managing instead of teaching horrible teacher really nice person though.
