The homework assignments are straight-forward. The tests are a bit challenging becuase they cover so much material, but they are not impossible to study for. Know the text book cold, and be certain to read all of the supplemental material assigned in class. Oh, and pay attention; Prof Smith is smart as a whip, you just might learn something!

This professor is a professional, and he teaches his students to become professionals. If you just want to pass BUS 302, do not take him. He will seem rude, stupid, show off... If you want to develop professional skills, take Pr. Smith. Trust me, you will not regret it. He is self-confident, helpful and, of course, SMART!!!

nice guy! he is not easy but he is a professor that wants you to be SUCCESSFUL in whatever you do.

He keeps you busy the entire term. To pass the test READ and memorize everything. He does not like talking during class and is very demanding during the class. Gives you A's if you think through assignments, so just do them. Do miss classes, lectures are in tests. If you do this, you should not be intimidated by him.

MGT360 class is not difficult. Yes, there is a lot of reading. Big deal. Other assignments are not too bad. Become an active reader and stay motivated. He's a good guy and cares.

U all r bunch of little girls crying like a baby. I had this professor for Mgt360/BUS302 he is the best. He is getting us prepared for the real corporate world. Its students like you that give CSUN a bad reputation, therefore the big name firms like Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch do not come to CSUN. IF U not serious about learning go 2 Devry.

IF YOUR GPA IS LESS THAN 2.8 PLEASE DO NOT SHARE YOUR OPINONS, they are High Yield (HYO)! HYO are also considered "speculative" or in a more offensive term "junk."

Can seem arrogant at times, but he's a sound teacher. Get over his quirks, and you soon find that his class is very insightful and rewarding. Not hard to pass as long as you stay on top of the reading, most of which is adding extra detail to what is often common sense.

Sure, in the beginning he seems tough, mainly to scare off flakes. But he is a very insightful prof. Follow his rules, do the reading!, and attend class on time. His Mid term was tough, Final was a breeze. If you can take him, I felt he taught me useful info for the workforce as well as street smarts.

He's full of it but the topics are interesting. The HBR articles are useful. A lot of reading and he's not kidding about being on time and the pop quizzes. This is not a class for slackers, that's for sure. No scantrons, just essay questions. Good luck!

Don't be late to class, take notes and practice active listening. His class really prepares you for what is to come ahead. Demonstrating the ability to learn from your mistakes - A big plus. Make sure you rehearse your grammar. If you're an all around good student and can demonstrate this to him, you can get an A or at least an A-.

Prof. Smith is very difficult, but you'll either learn the material well or fail the class. Overall a good teacher that I'd take again. Don't buy the 'clicker'. We used it once and even then only in a non-graded exercise.

Yes! reading load is a lot. However he's one of the best professors at CSUN. I took him 4 BUS302 & MGT360. If U don't like reading then don't bother taking him. He challenges U 2 think in the material & use it in the real world. He is a tough grader on grammar. At the end of it U'll know the difference between efficiency & effectiveness.

The best! If you want to become a better business person, take him. He will take you to the next level! He teaches you to become a natural speaker,and you will like public speaking, mark my word. Your writing will improve from his scrutiny. Take him if you are an intrinsically motivated person. If you just want a good grade, take PanAfrican Studies

He is scary at first, but you will find that his expectations are very clear. If you are willing to learn and put in the work to do it, take him. If you're looking for an easy "A" don't take him. Five case studies (4 written, 1 oral), pop-quizzes, in-class ethics essay, and more. Do NOT forget to wear your name tag!

It is not an easy class. There is a lot of reading. But if you come to class and do the reading, you'll get a good grade. There are a lot of assignments and pop quizes on the assigned readings, so do your readings and you'll be fine. Be sure to study the syllabus, he gives a pop quiz on the syllabus.

He tells you exactly what he wants.Just do what he asks you to do.He doesn't like "smart asses".He seems taught, but he is not that bad. Yep,you have to do a LOT of work, but it is the same for any Bus302 class. Just smile and make nice presentation slides.Read everything he assigns because there are in class pop quizzes. I got an A

good, interesting and funny professor. you will be entertained because he is very dorky and goofy. his class isn't an easy A but it's possible. lots of reading and pop quizzes. i ended up with a B which is good considering i hardly read and bsed the quizzes. i will definitely take him again!

Material is simple, straightforward and interesting. Be prepared to read supplemental articles and text often. A few easy assignments and an overrated book report. Unfortunately, Professor is a jerk, unnecessarily rude, has major control and attitude issues. He is disturbingly arrogant, I would never refer his course to anyone who enjoys learning.

anyone who fails this class is an idiot. take the time to revise the group reports instead of slapping everyone's writing into one document without looking at it. yes he grades hard and it sucks, but everything that he expects from us is clearly stated in his website. try actually reading it and maybe you wouldn't make dumb mistakes.

yes, he is rude and a hard grader. but any gateway class regardless of the prof. is going to require a lot of work. smith actually makes you learn something. everyone who keeps whining about this guy is going to be in hell with their upper division classes because they want to get by without actually doing anything.

Not a class for slackers. Be always on time (seriously), read the material, and be prepared to turn in the assignments at the beginning of the class. Do not miss any of the assignments or quizzes, this could seriously affect to final grade. He?s loud and sometimes scary, but he?s actually very approachable and helpful.

As intimidating as he may seem at first, he grades on very easy curves and he's always willing to give out help in his office hours if you ever need. Nowhere near as bad as some may make him out to be.

I just took his bus class this fall. Actually it is not hard. most of them are group work. sometimes he is a little bit too strict to students but he really want us to learn something. I am an international student and i found it is actually a helpful class. he gave me $25 gift cards for big progress on the second quiz. not as bad as he is rated.

I love this teacher! He is a hard grader and very strict with writing skills, but you do learn a lot of him. He is very passionate about teaching and that shows. I took his gateway class and MGT 360 class fall 09. Did very well in both classes. Always be prepared because he has a lot of quizzes that aren't hard is you read. Take this class!!!

He is smart, very helpful, and if you do the reading, you will do just fine on the quizzes. True, he assignes a lot,so if you lazy stay away from him. After his class you will feel confident writing and speaking in public... He is one of the best business professors in CSUN.

REALLY HARD, BUT WORTH IT BECAUSE IT PREPARES YOU FOR THE REST OF THE CLASSES. HELPS IN WRITING AND SPEAKING. STAY AWAY IF YOU ARE LAZY AND DONT WANT TO PUT A LOT OF HOURS.

Don't let these ratings fool you. He's a great teacher, in fact you won't learn more from any other professor. Having said that, he's very demanding and tough. However, if you work very hard, you will get an A or B guaranteed. He appreciates hard work and teaches you how to apply everything you learn to real-life situations. Love him.

He is hard grader though, Although, if you want help, He is the best. You will definitely learn from him. I do not recommend take BUS 302 and MGT 360 together unless you do good with hardcore classes. There is lot of material to read in both of his classes and lots of work to do as well. As everyone said, if you are lacy don't take him.

He's a teacher you you'll learn a GREAT DEAL from. He's passionate about it which is good, but he's serious too! He actually CARES about you learning and being prepared to get a good job (AND he uses a cheap textbook! how cool is that!). He's strict so get to class early! Read all materials ahead of time, volunteer for questions and debates!

This was probably one of the most difficult classes I have ever taken, but you take away a lot of information. He will be very critical of your work, but if you show improvement, you can get an A in his class. That's the only reason I and a couple of my group members did.

The class itself is not hard at all, it is just a lot of work. Just hope for a good team. The professor tells you exactly what he wants but other than that he is not really helpful. He treats u like kindergardners. I wouldn't recommend taking the class with him, but if u have to it is managable, just act like u r listening in class and u will be ok

I took his BUS 302 class in the summer, that was not as hard as I thought, just a lot works. It all depends on the team work, so if you are in a good team, you will get a B easily. Personally I think he is pretty helpful, but u have to let him know that you really need his help.

TRUE: He is rude, interrupts you while presenting, arrogant, assigns a lot. NOT TRUE: He is not helpful, does not know his stuff, clear on what he wants from you. Having said that, he is not as horrible as some make him to be. Always is will to see you in his office to help just ask him. Wants you to learn so you are prepared for the real biz world

He comes off very arrogant, and well he is. But he is very helpful in his office, but if you visit him you are his best friend. gives helpful feedback and is not as hard as people say. he does what he does for a reason. by far the best class ive ever taken, even though it is a lot of busy work and group work.

Dude is very knowledgeable about business. Just do the work and don't say "YOU GUYS" while speaking, it's like taboo, you'll be straight. Attendance is mandatory. I had an injury and presented still, it was cake. Good luck to whoever takes him. =]]]

Cool teacher. You must attend class and should do the readings. Beware pop quizzes they are hard. Be careful with grammar he will take points off, can earn back in office hours. Grades on a curve. Gives points for participation.

He wasn't as scary as I thought he'd be. He loves teaching and he's professional. He's a great introduction to the business world. He gave out $25 gift certificates to high performing students.

He's a nice guy and wants you to be successful. He has a really creepy laugh and tries to be funny. The quizzes are based on the textbook chapters which are not too bad. He also wants you to ask "insightful" questions. Attendance is mandatory. Overall, OK class but mostly based on self-learning and a lot of reading from the textbook (you need it).

He is a very smart guy and wants his students to succeed but one thing about him is that he really doesn't talk about the textbook

Don't be late/ speak out of turn. When papers are due, make sure you arrive early since he collects in the beginning of class. Also the day after exams or assignments are due, attend class since he passes back work and you need to be there to collect it or you'll get marked down. He cares about his students though. Lectures aren't based on the book

Took during summer and had no social life for that 6 weeks, kiss weekends goodbye. Definitely a hard and time consuming class. 2 group presentations, 4 cases. Can't miss a single class. Mr. Smith is very smart, but can also be rude at times. I suggest taking it with another professor, but if he is the only option, suck it up and take him. Got a B.

Really good professor. I think people that call him rude are too sensitive. He's a business instructor what do you expect? Demanding class but rewarding and passable. He gives about 3 quizes (material is random), a written in class essay, and 4 case deliverable. Cases are prepared in groups that he puts together. He prepares you for the real world.

Great professor. Teaches well. Very honest- teaches you how to be an ethical and respectful perosn int he business world. Very wise.

Prof Wayne is the kind of teacher you want if you are in college because you actually want to learn. Somewhat tough grader and a lot of work during the week but he's really passionate about business and about the course. Do not take his class lightly; you will regret it come Midterms and Finals. Really nice guy too.

Probably one of the best professors i have had. He demands excellence from students, something that is lacking in most teachers. Don't take him if you want a feel good A or you have a hard time coming on time to class. late assignments, even by a couple minutes lose 50%.

Great instructor though somewhat overly thorough. Everything is mapped out for you in the course. You learn a lot of additional information and are given many additional resources. The assignments really prepare you for other classes including the technicals and you are guided toward differentiationg yourself from others. You learn a lot.

LOVE HIM! Not an easy class, but you will learn so much from him. If I didn't take his class, I would have never even read any of the HBR articles (which are extremely useful). He's awesome!

Great professor. Hard grader but just wants the best from his students. He was an IS major and transfer student at CSUN so we can relate...taking him for MGT 360 this summer too. Very consistent with being on time and ending class on time so show up on time!!! He takes away points if you're late/absent and don't pick up graded assignments!

He's the type of professor you will learn a lot from but he demands too much work from this class. I took him over the summer and he expects u to read 3-4 chapters/week with lots of articles. Don't EVER be late to his class because he takes off 50% assignments if u turn them in late or pick them up late. Participate and go to office hours!

This professor is seriously amazing. . He is very specific with the assignments. His midterm and final are directly from the readings. Focus on vocab in the book. His articles are very interesting. He knows how to incorporate several methods and resources. Go to office hours he reviews your work and gives great advice esp about life. Very dedicated

Very caring person. Very smart and loves to help people. A wealth of knowledge. Really there for the students and takes teaching to another level. Very passionate about the world we live in and about effecting a positive change in it. Very clear about what he expects and fair. Very sincere towards people and really wants students to succeed.

Overall, he is a good teacher. His lectures are clear and helpful. Go to office hours really recommended. Read before class. Focus a lot on grammar. He takes off many points on grammar errors. You can lose more than half points of the assignment for a few grammar errors. By the way he is very rude.

He's actually a nice guy.

Although he is difficult and challenging at times,the knowledge you gain from this professor will last you a life time! He truly prepares you for the professional, business world. He pushes his students to be better. *KEY to his class besides the obvious- visit his office as often as possible, show initiative & it will make all the difference!

His exams are based from the readings, lecture notes, textbook, HBR, videos shown in class. I went to his office hours and he was helpful with real life but not with the home works. Make sure to double check your grammars because he grades heavily on those.

Pro tip: always attend class, do readings ahead of time, go to his office hours, work on your grammar( fo' real, Son. You'll get docked down.) If you don't do this, you'll have to take a long walk off a short pier.

This professor is absolutely amazing. You actually end up learning something. He is structured and the class is never confusing. He always has time to meet and help with students. You gotta meet him half way though, he will go above and beyond for you but if you are not committed then you won't really get anything out of this class.

Mr. Smith was the professor that changed my life. He is always available for questions and discussion. His personal time and energy is fully dedicated to his students only if you want to learn. His shadow will follow you everywhere you go and will help you succeed in life and be the best in the management field. Very professional and well respected

If you do all the readings and pay attention in class, you will do well in the course. All spot quizzes, tests, and papers are graded based on a curve. Also, Professor Smith is always available in his office as he wants to help all students to succeed. Bring your paper to him before it's due and he will go over it and give you feedback.

You can see his passion for management by the way he lectures in class. He makes an easy class hard but its fair. You can fail an assignment and still get a C because he says its "average", which I dont understand because if the students are realistically failing the assignment then how is that "average"? That means they arent passing. Huge curve

People giving him low scores complain that the class is hard and that he takes is a tough grader. So in other words: you don't try hard, then you blame him? One of the only professors who TRULY & ACTIVELY wants his students to succeed. He is pushing us all to be our best. Don't see that? Your loss. Huge asset to my academic and professional career!

Gandalf said it best. Run , you fools

Amazingly passionate teacher in the topics he discusses. He is by far my favorite professor, but beware that he is a tough grader and professor. If you are not a serious business major do not take him as you will hate the time you spend with in lectures. He requires that you give the most respect to everyone although he doesnt give you any.

He teaches things that will help the rest of your life. He truly cares and is willing to meet at his office if he sees effort. Good writing skills are a must. Pop quizzes on everything lecture, book, and supplemental readings; read before class. Use Wiley flashcards for the book part. Midterm and final are multiple-choice; final not cumulative.

Wayne Smith is very smart and has a passion for teaching students. However, his class has been one of the most difficult one I have ever taken. He is very strict upon class presentations and will criticize you on the spot. Never ever say the phrase, "You Guys". Pop quizzes will be given so be prepared for every class, if not your grade will suffer

Great teacher. Very inspirational. Listen carefully to everything he says in his lectures because it is all very important. Even if it won't be on the exam, he shares interesting real-life situations that will help you in the real world.

Professor Smith is by far the best instructor I have come across while at CSUN. Read all assignments and supplementals, stay on top of all tasks, plan ahead, always be prepared for pop quizzes, and buy a grammar book that will help with your writing skills. MGT 360 was hard work, but it made me fall in love with my major! Awesome teacher, take him!

Curves all his assignments and tests, it's just a lot of material that he covers. I'm not sure how I got an A on his first exam, I barley read. There are a lot of supplemental materials, too many and he does test you on them. Try to read for those pop quizzes the points add up in the end. He has a good way of teaching, passionate and informative

Lots of reading & gives pop quizzes on the material. Encourages us to come to his office hours when needed but when I went, he was rushing, kind of rude & seemed unwilling to help. Made me not want to contact him again. MGT majors: hard grading so it's gonna be a stressful pre/co-requisite if your next semester depends on this class.

Great guy, makes you work hard for your grade, but if you put in the time and dedication, you will take away so much from this class. You need to be a strong writer in business and he helps you develop that skill set, as well as a number of soft skills to deal with people. He is pretty difficult, but equally fair. It is not impossible to get an A.

This class is less about the professor and more about the students ability to function at a high level within a group for the entirety of the semester. With that said, Professor Smith was always available for our group and helpful. There are unannounced quizzes, just take note of the pattern and keep up to date with the information on his web page.

He is a tough professor but doesn't mind helping you along the way. This class is structured around group work, he has groups assigned by the 2 second class meeting. Gives 20-30 page case reports but its simple if your whole group contributes. Don't avoid taking him just because of the reviews, he is very devoted to your success.

Dr. Smith is a tough teacher but this is college. He cares deeply that all of his students actually learn useful skills needed to be great managers. Do: READ ALL ASSIGNED READINGS BEFORE CLASS; Have ALL papers checked for grammar and spelling errors before submitting, visit office hours Do Not: be late, interrupt class/be on your phone, slack off

Professor is helpful and care about CSUN alot. This class is not for slackers or people who often miss class. He makes you work for it but is preparing you for a career. If you go to his office hours he will help you. He does not require a textbook. The class is aimed more for people who want great careers.

Professor Smith was one of the hardest, and most demanding professors I've ever had. He pushes you to rise up, and develop your skills. If you put in the work you will be way ahead of everyone else who chose not to take him for gateway. His accessibility, and his advocacy for students, makes Professor Smiths a gem at CSUN. Oh, and read ahead!

Dr. Smith can be very arrogant to some people but he has good intentions. He teaches a true level 300 class and cares about the students. His midterm and final aren't too difficult. He may grade papers strictly but it's for your own good, after all, this is college. Just work hard, TAKE NOTES, study, and you will do well. I'm glad I took his class.

Professor Smith genuinely cares about his students. He offers an immense amount of knowledge and experience to help guide and develop young professionals. He also offers a lot of external resources to supplement the course materials.

This professor is to taken by those who want to excel in business. He expects the best from you since he views you as a professional, rather than telling you what to do he lets you learn by experiencing it. You will be working in groups so some strain is lifted. Don't procrastinate and coordinate well with you team. Do this and you will succeed.

Professor Smith is not for everyone, but for those who enjoy being challenged and wish to succeed I recommend taking his course. He will push you to do your best and that's why he's a "tough grader." If you work hard and are patient, you will pass. Attendance is mandatory so you can pass the quizzes. See him during his office hours for any help.

Incredible professor! Yeah, he's tough when it comes to papers and has pop quizzes (we had 3), but he gives a lot of context clues in multiple choice exams and is generous when grading the quizzes. He is CLEARLY passionate (full-body laughs), and genuinely cares about students. Take for management, but avoid gateway with Smith.

Smith is a great professor, you can tell he's passionate about what he teaches. However, his teaching style doesn't appeal to all. There are 3 essays, a midterm, and a final. He's a tough grader, especially in relation to grammar and writing. I wouldn't recommend him to any ESL students or weak writers. Expect a few pop quizzes, DO THE READING!

Professor Wayne is a good teacher, but makes you earn your grade. If writing paper isn't your strength don't take this class deducts 10% per error found on a paper. Tests aren't too bad.

Professor Smith is one of the best professors that I've met. I took his management 360 class and I was always nervous to go to class or to talk to him because of his charisma that overwhelms you. But he is a very fun, cool, and intelligent business professor that has so much experience and stories to tell you. He is VERY confident in the students.

This man is an inspiration. He really knows how to teach, and how to help his students. He takes the time to really talk with his students and focus on their problems with any and all papers. He even will publically cry for his students. He will devote himself to you both mentally, and emotionally. also a bonus if you are in IS.

this dude is pretty chill. He knows what's up, and knows what students need. The dude is totally down to help out students. He's always there for office hours and really chill about writing. Always there to help. Take him, it will be one hell of an experience! :)

absolute amazing teacher. truly cares about the students. extremely smart in his field. This isn't just a class to take for a major, this is a class to prepare you for a career. Worth taking 100%

Very good class but you have to work for your grade and participate for extra points

Prof. Smith is very knowledgeable. He shares very interesting supplemental materials. Be ready to read, study, and memorize. Quizzes are tough. You need to memorize definitions and know how to apply them in sentences. He is very kind and caring. He uses positive and negative reinforcements to help students learn and be motivated. Highly recommended

He considers everyone adults and expect everyone to behave as such. Homework and attending classes matter a lot to him. If you don't, you get points deducted. Who is willing to put the work will learn a lot from his class. He bought gift cards for best students, and bought lunch for the whole class after final. What other professor does that???

Professor Smith is wonderful professor. The assignments are not hard,but they are time consuming. He does allow opportunities to regain points on written assignments, so take advantage of this if you need it. Quizzes are heavily based on readings and lectures. He does expect a lot, but gives more than enough support. I recommend this professor.

Nothing but great things to say about this professor. If you want to learn, take this professor. If you listen to the lectures you realize that Prof. Smith actually has some important things to say that I would honestly say are still benefiting me to this day. I learned a lot. MUST READ

MGT360 is a difficult course. Prof Smith does an excellent job of supplementing the course with actual news events where one is able to draw connections from concepts in the text. Wayne Smith is a professor who is truly in the your corner. He is responsive in emails, and will make the time for his student. Make time for this class!

This is one of the classes I had to work hard for. Dr. smith is not easy at all but he gives you a lot of helpful information and refer his stories to live events. I enjoyed the lectures but I had to ready daily. There are a lot to read. His quizzes are mostly from the lectures and supplements.

Wayne Smith by far has been my favorite professor at CSUN, his lectures are interesting and he makes it entertaining. Wayne Smith has motivated me to do better in school because of his lectures. He wants the best for all of his students and tries his best to help his students. You have to put an effort in his class, make sure to read weekly to pass.

His class was a challenge but that's why it was the best. All of the material and strict attendance policies is all in the name of preparing the students for the real world and guess what: it's tough and mean. Everything the Dr. Smith taught is of great benefit. Lots of reading but well worth it and I'm a slow reader, too.

Professor Smith is a true professional. If you are a serious MGT major, then you should take him. He is a tough professor but he is very passionate about the subject and very knowledgeable. We had 2 midterms & 1 final (noncumulative) and group work. Reading is a must; pop quizzes are given based on the reading material. Highly recommend !

He is a rigorous grader, but he cares so much about his students. Complex cases where you & your team write more than 20 pages. He will call you out and tell you to explain/clarify during your presentation if you did something wrong. Random pop quizzes. Toughest class I ever took (spring sem). Would take again because I learned so much from him.

Easily my favorite professor at CSUN. Incredibly clear in his expectations, for both in-class and assignments. Posts detailed rubrics and instructions with no ambiguity. Respects critical thought and attention to detail. He is not a personable professor, so if youre looking for acknowledgement, look elsewhere. You will learn a lot from Prof. Smith

I honestly thought Professor Smith was not that bad. He laid out what you need to do to pass from the first day on his website outline. Just do the work or even skim the assigned chapters and articles before the class, you'll be prepared for any pop quizzes (Usually 4). I barely did any work and I got a B+ so its doable. He curves extremely well!!!

Take him if you want to learn something for life. He treats all students as adults not as a high school kids, so be prepared for work.

Professor Wayne Smith is a great professor. If you struggle in the first few assignments go and see him and ask for help. He is very knowledgeable on management and only wants to share that knowledge with his students. Read all his articles and attend all his classes and pay attention because his pop-quizzes are about he talks about during class.

Professor Smith is a great person that cares for his students. The class was hard so make sure you attend. The class consists of three unannounced quizzes that is based off from the lectures and the assigned work. Make sure you attend and right notes. Something helpful is that Prof. Smith curves a lot!

A lot of reading assignments. Do not be late or you lose points. Strict grading on assignments. Overall good teacher, you will learn a lot. You have to work for your grade and read all assigned reading and textbook material. Grades on a curve

Take his class if you are willing to put in time and effort for your grade. Read all the articles and chapters he assigns, pay attention and take notes in class because his quizzes are based on all of those things. He is extremely strict with even the slightest error on a paper you turn in so don't forget those commas. Utilize his office hours!

If you think management is an easy course, think again. Professor Smith makes you work hard for your grade. He is very knowledgeable and cares for his students. Go to his office hours if you see yourself struggling. He is a tough grader when it comes to grammatical errors. He lays out exactly what he wants for his assignments.

Professor Wayne Smith is my favorite professor in the whole wide world. Is his class easy? Heck no. But it is perfect for someone who is hungry to succeed and eager to learn something valuable. Professor Smith is an amazing professor who truly cares about his students. Go to his office hours. He is always happy to provide great advice!

Prof. Smith isn't nearly as bad as people say. He really cares about his students' success and wants us to learn. You won't regret taking his class, I promise. BUS 302 is a hard class in general, but you learn and grow a lot. If you're a good writer and comfortable presenting in front of the class, this class will be a breeze. Take him!!

Professor Smith is a really tough grader, but he truly cares that his students understand what we need to. He is picky with points and takes off points for very small mistakes, but he curves and awards points based on your effort. If he sees you caring about the class and the material, as long as you do good work, you will be fine!

Professor Smith is a great resource and I learned an extensive amount of managerial duties through his lecture. He provided a lot of personal examples and insight. Pop quizzes are slightly hard, just make sure you do your reading. Group projects are fairly easy and fun. Has reflection papers, make sure you have proper grammar.

I really liked professor smith and unfortunately I've never met him in person but you can tell he really cares about his students. I feel like students underestimate his teaching because it's his first time teaching through Zoom. One thing I will say is that some of his comments are uncalled for and may come off as insulting.

Professor Wayne cares about his students. He treats us like adults. He has high expectations but he takes the time to explain what he wants. Between 3-4 pop quizzes for the semester. As long as youve done your readings for the week, you should be set. 1 large group project. Make sure you hold your team accountable or it could cost you your A.

Great professor, took online summer session. Book found online PDF. 3-4 pop quizzes but are easily anticipated. Midterm. Final. (Based on the book chs) Participation +. Group 30-40 pg analysis (fairly easy) and presentation. Groups are made based off GPA (works out), just do your reading and you'll be fine. Wants students to succeed. A+ overall

He GENUINELY cares about your success. HOWEVER, there is a lot to read. He often picks randomly and asks you to summarize the chapter and/or journal articles in class. HE ALSO POPS QUIZZES. Know the readings inside and out BEFORE class. Youll fail otherwise. Hes REALLY GOOD. But YOUR work ethic might be the difference between pass or fail.

Prof Smith is genuinely a nice person, and his class wasn't the worst. He does assign a lot of readings every week, and he does expect students to participate and discuss the readings, but most of the concepts we learned were quite interesting and relevant. No quizzes, except for the midterm and exam. & a group project. Overall was a good class!

One of the best Professors at CSUN. The class is quizzes, individual/group work, and participation. If you participate and show your dedication, you will pass. Go to office hours; he will appreciate it! I highly recommend Professor Smith. He may be challenging, but he wants you to learn. I am taking him for capstone in Spring!

The same people who want an easy A are the same people claiming CSUN didn't teach them anything. Yeah, he can seem impatient at times, but he does care about your success. He pushes you to be better as a business professional. Some people are just too soft for his class. - 2 exams - 1 group paper/presentation - The rest are smaller assignments

4 group papers and 3 pop quizes throughout the year based on his material. He is very sincere and wants to help the world be a better place by teaching. He is a tough grader and groups are assigned randomly at the beginning of the semester. One of the papers will be a not so bad group presentation.Grade depends on how group papers/presentation are.

Hes not as bad as the people say. Hes definitely a tough grader but his curves a very generous. He assigns a lot of readings but you can manage. Participation is not 100% required but it helps with your overall grade. I took this course in the summer and am managing to stay above water. Dont drop if you end up taking the course. You will pass.

Professor Smith truly cares for his students and holds them to a high standard. Beware of pop quizzes as they will most likely determine your grade in the end as well as the group projects. His lectures can be boring as he tends to cry but if you participate he will respect you. Get to know your group well and you will be ok.

MGMT 340 Professor Smith is a really good professor that cares for his students, treats them fairly, and expects them to get work done, if you don't put effort and procrastinate there is a guarantee you won't pass. He expects students to know the concept of the material, etc. You really need good discipline and work ethic in order to pass.

If you read prior to class, you will do good on pop quizzes. Read all pdfs on his website, participate & book a writing center appt. prior to turning in assignments. He values his students and aims to enhance their academic skills by setting high standards. Memorize presentations & avoid saying "you guys". I loved technology after this class.

Professor was not as nad as everyone said the class was definitely not easy but it was not awfully difficult. As long as you do the reading and pay attention in class the pop quizes should be fine.

I think a lot of people take this professor the wrong way. He's incredibly caring and REALLY wants his students to succeed, his entire teaching philosophy is behind that. His class is not difficult. I will say he can be very short tempered to students sometimes and interrupts quite often which becomes really frustrating, even during presentations.

The presentations are not posted so you need to take notes in class. Tests and pop quizzes are based off of the reading, so READ THE BOOK. Other than that there were barely any assignments and the class was not too heavy.

His class is not bad and cares for his student's success (even if it doesn't seem that way). Has various pop quizzes throughout the semester, so keep up with reading the textbook/articles. He assigns groups for group projects early on in the semester which allows for working on it at a good pace. Just listen to his ground rules and it's pretty easy

Overall, BUS 312 wasn't too bad with Professor Smith. From day one, be sure to do your readings––there's a few pop quizzes throughout the semester and a large group project near the end. As long as you end up with a good group, this class should not be a problem. Be sure to participate in class and do the readings ahead of time.

This class is really easy to pass. One big project that will depend on your group but hes a lenient grader on that project. He doesnt go over the textbook, but the exams will be solely from the textbook. Honestly his class is really easy. Read the textbook and its an easy A, his curved are also huge. People dont pass his class cuz they dont try lol

I am by no means the best student.Attend class & reasonable effort= A. Few pop quizzes about the reading but easy if you attend class.Curved quizzes heavily. Managed to get good grades on the quizzes by just giving some attention in class. Writing assignments are easy/openended (procrastinator friendly lol) Prof is an eccentric professor, he cares

He's very direct and shows his feelings pretty clearly, but is extremely passionate about his work and is in my opinion a great professor, learning is easy in this class. Yes there are pop quizzes, but if you read what he asked before the class they are easy, if you don't, everything is generously curved. Professor smith gets a ++ from me.

Everything is curved which is helpful, if i put more effort into the class i feel like i wouldve scored higher but i did the bare minimum and still passed. There is pop quizzes based on the readings but it's nothing out of this world. He's a very passionate professor and some people can take it wrong, but just do the work and you'll be fine.
