Very little clarity in what he wants, need to ask multiple times and still do not get a clear answer. READ THE SYLLABUS, he will not warn you when things are due. Also, the lectures are pointless, he goes off on tangents of his own life and never quite gets into the material. I honestly cannot tell you what I learned in this course.INTB1202 2014-11-20 19:01:15 +0000 UTC
Prof was good. I found him interesting because of his accent. He is knowledgable about International Business.INTB6200 2013-01-30 14:39:16 +0000 UTC
Not helpful and will not even respondINTBINTB 2012-10-29 11:12:47 +0000 UTC
Class is very boring, the professor is absorbed in "cultural" awareness - but I personally find the topics in the course promote more stereotypes than remove. The prof. also is not suitable to teach part time, adult students - treats all students like young undergrads or first year grad students.INTB6201 2012-10-03 14:13:57 +0000 UTC
can't "decenter" from his cultural backgroundINT0000 2011-11-21 16:25:56 +0000 UTC
Very experienced and knowledgable professor in the field. He uses the book and his personal accounts to teach the class. Answers any questions asked and is a very friendly person!INTB3301 2011-05-18 22:45:39 +0000 UTC
He turns every class discussion into an irrelevant story about himself. He also makes the students teach the class, having each class session consist of a presentation of a reading or book. Certain groups have to do case studies, others have to do 5 page articles, and others have to do 300 page books.INBU501 2007-03-15 23:40:22 +0000 UTC
Very experienced in international business. Very interesting to listen to in a 2 hour class.INB 2006-07-18 21:11:04 +0000 UTC
