Fair marker and interesting course. That said, the prof only does whats required; he never goes above and beyond in terms of teaching. He tells us to watch HBS case studies, but shuts down any interesting discussions made in class. His agenda is limited. Arugments one-sided. Never facilitating creative thinking in students. Stifling Indoctrination.

This is a tough course but the prof is very knowledgeable. Class average is about 70% but easy to do well if you attend classes and choose a good group. Material is hard for many, but I found this course easier than 706.

I don't write reviews but wow TMU get rid of this guy, the way he definitely gets off on making students feel bad. As an older student it's insane to see someone grown act like this towards students trying to learn while he teaches nothing. He's not a professor. If he's hurting in real life, he needs to figure it out and stop punishing students

Do not take this prof if you can. Attendance is mandatory. He cold calls students to answer certain questions.

Genuinely evil guy, seems like he enjoys the misery of others. Tough grader and very unreasonable. Gross attitude.

Avoid this professor at all costs. No matter how hard you work, the best you'll get is around 70%. Class average is 65%. Grading feels biased our top-notch presentation scored lower than another just because they got more audience questions. Even A+ students end up with C+.

He has got to be one of the most difficult professors… the pure enjoyment he seems to get from insulting students when he picks on them during class is beyond comprehension. I will say the grades are not his fault the TA seems to not give anyone more than a 75… final is marked substantially easier making the course passable in the end.

He grades the assignment so harshly for no reason. It's like he enjoys seeing his students get bad grades. His lectures are basically a recap and the lecture quality is very poor. Avoid this prof at all cost.

Marks insanely hard (60s-70s for case work, group project with vague feedback) especially because cases are meant to be based on some level of interpretation. He's never satisfied with answers. Participation mark of 5% is also absurd he calls on you individually. I would recommend delaying this class and taking it with literally any another prof.

Such a hard marker. Will call you out in class through attendance with really difficult questions about the assigned readings, and will follow up if you answer wrong. He once pulled up someone's assignment and compared it to the answer they gave. He marks the weekly cases really hard, very difficult to get a good grade.
