You'll pass this class, but it won't be your favorite. Prof. Raynus won't give back grades until the very end of the semester, so you'll have no idea where you stand. He is also very unclear when giving instructions. If you have no other option, take prof. Raynus. But don't let it be your first choice.INFO6245 2021-11-17 20:50:16 +0000 UTC
I would never recommend this professor. Honestly the worst professor ever. The content isn't difficult, but it's hard to get an A in his class. Every assignment is a presentation, which takes almost the whole class and he doesn't really teach. Never give any feedback so you don't know where you lose points. It takes weeks for him to give a grade.STRT4501 2021-06-30 07:56:00 +0000 UTC
Never grades any assignments and assigns many papers. He wanted us to learn from what we did wrong in our papers but wouldn't grade our papers. When we asked him to grade them so we could learn from our mistakes he said no. Extremely vague and repetitive information, felt like we were learning the same few things over and over again.ENTR2301 2021-05-04 02:41:47 +0000 UTC
The most boring class I took at NEU. His lets the students take the tests online but the material was completely different from what he taught. Presentations every class. Participation matters but he doesn't seem to have good memory. Do no recommend.INTB1203 2017-01-17 06:44:18 +0000 UTC
Just a mere $5000 Project Management class to add a bullet to your resume,Professor just survives by boasting about his contracts who live in 19th century thought process. If you are innovative or a person who thinks out of the box for project management approach , please avoid it, Simply a useless knuckle head.INFO6245 2012-05-01 10:52:46 +0000 UTC
Great teacher, he expects a lot from you, but you get a lot out of the course.STRT4501 2019-01-10 20:19:00 +0000 UTC
Does not post grades or feedbacks of your midterm, homework, and presentations before the final Does not provide informing insight Let you do the case study all by yourselves presentation everyday, heavy workload Does not care about students, does not want to spend time with students to solve problems after classSTRT4501 2018-08-07 17:59:54 +0000 UTC
Wastes in-class time talking about current events. Expects you to do the slides and read the book yourself. You're better off with another professor. Says class participation is everything, but doesn't remember much.STRT4501 2017-07-06 09:03:00 +0000 UTC
