If you want to learn something in class - don't take it with him. If you want a chill time - go ahead.STRT4501 2022-05-02 21:16:14 +0000 UTC
As in most of my online classes, the professors don't do the grading - the instructors do. My instructor was tough and there is a lot of writing in this course (managing people and organizations). Even though I averaged an 88.9, and my instructor recommended me to be scaled to an A-, it didn't happen. Beware the trick questions in the quizzes.HRMG6200 2016-05-02 10:07:52 +0000 UTC
Best professor I have had at NEU, if you get the chance take this guy he's amazing. Class discussions are interesting, he's funny and he's also a chilled guy.STRT 4501 2015-10-21 18:59:09 +0000 UTC
This man is hilarious. The class is not particularily interesting but Spector makes it easy and somewhat enjoyable. Take this class if you wanna kick back and chill on reddit. Sup.STRAT4501 2012-11-17 14:31:06 +0000 UTC
Not a horrible professor, overall pretty good at leading discussions. However, he was often confusing about assignments and would tell us multiple times that he would email us to clairify things, etc. but never once did that. He also took way to long to grade the 4pg papers that we submitted mid semester, so we ended up never getting those back.HONR3341 2010-03-09 16:03:56 +0000 UTC
Not sure if this professor is qualified to teach a 501 strategy class...class was very basic and filled with oversimplified lectures. Did not learn much but the class was easy. 2 cases, 1 test, and the business simulation was all there to it. The professor was a funny guy but was condescending to students sometimes. He should not be teaching STRT..STRT501 2009-12-14 15:16:49 +0000 UTC
Easily one of the worst teachers. Spent too much time on useless stuff such as how to add video links to powerpoint slides, how to rip dvd's etc. Too eager to dismiss class ahead aroung halftime. Does not read papers, does not respond to mails.HRMG282 2009-08-20 20:54:32 +0000 UTC
Funny and smart Read the text!!MGTU501 2009-03-13 16:05:36 +0000 UTC
Really funny guy, the cases were interesting. Quizzes on the reading almost every other class, but he drops the lowest one of the nine he gives. The business simulation he requires for the class is confusing, but the TA was alot of help. Overall, take this class, you'll do well if you put in the effort and the time reading to prepare for quizzes.MGT501 2009-01-20 22:55:46 +0000 UTC

I took Spector after reviewing his reviews on this website to discover his complete incompetency in teaching a level 501 class.I spend $80 for the textbook that we never used, $50 for the classpact that I barely read, and $70 for the end of the year simulation to learn NOTHING.This class was a waste of my time and money.MTG501 2008-03-05 15:53:51 +0000 UTC
Great class very interactive. Def. show up, mostly watch movies and chat about 1950's US. Good guy all around. Will def. try and understand your point.HNRU301 2006-12-24 09:46:02 +0000 UTC
Organizational Behavior. It was an easy class. One class project: start your own business. Quizzes at the beginning of class everytime a chapter is due. Very laid-back class. Wouldn't mind taking one of his classes again.HRMU201 2006-04-25 10:20:57 +0000 UTC
