Brilliant. Insightful. Deeply Educational.ENTR6200 2026-01-18 17:06:16 +0000 UTC
One of the worst professors i took. No clear outline for the course and the lectures are insanely boring! It was a complete waste of time. I did not learn a thing. He wanted a weekly log which was annoying.ENTR2301 2022-03-29 20:52:17 +0000 UTC
Prof Katz was a nice guy, but not a good professor. He never tells you how he will grade and assigned a final that was over 15 pages of writing on top of other presentations. Didn't cover most of the material we were expected to read. Cancelled about half of our class times, which was nice, but meant I didn't learn anything.ORGB2301 2018-12-31 17:42:40 +0000 UTC
I enjoyed his class, his lectures are funny and interesting. However, how you are graded is really vague and you won't know until the end, which was a take home test that was basically like writing 5 papers. Other than that he was great.HRMG6200 2016-11-02 20:32:23 +0000 UTC
TECE6340 was one of many classes that I have taken with Prof Katz. He's an amazing professor with 43+ years of experience. His teaching style and relevant story-telling made every 4hr class a pleasurable experience! He keeps the class engaged & encourages dialogue. Light workload, very valuable learning. Prof Katz is the best professor at NEU!!!TECE6340 2016-06-16 22:27:30 +0000 UTC
Anyone of his class is a great option. He tells really interesting stores about Corporate America and across the world and shows really cool clips and movies for his classes. Def. a great guy as well, I would highly recommend taking him.HRM212 2012-04-21 13:35:20 +0000 UTC
Took a course from Prof. Katz at MIT. Great prof. Many interesting stories to tell.15381 2011-01-27 23:08:16 +0000 UTC
He is one of the best story tellers. You learn something new in his class every day. However, he can go off on tangents from time to time. He's entertaining and you can get a lot of his class. Also, his class was pretty easy. He always said "You cant test this stuff, you either use it or you don't."HRM200 2009-04-23 13:05:54 +0000 UTC
Prof Katz was great at making concepts understandable and memorable. Now everyone walks around quoting him and talking about things we discussed there. He likes potty humor, so be prepared.MIT381 2009-01-30 15:54:47 +0000 UTC
No feedback on class work, does not act as promised, very irresponsiveHRMG280 2008-05-07 11:27:51 +0000 UTC
I loved this class! Katz is a great professor, very animated and engaging. I would definitely recommend for others to take this class. I know I'll take more classes with him in the future.HRMG200 2008-03-09 15:08:11 +0000 UTC
Professor Katz is a really good MIT-trained professor who captures the classes attention. I've had the benefit of a comparison with a BU professor of OB and Katz is definitely superior in every way. His course book 'The human side of managing technological innovations' is very readable, using a variety of examples from different industries.OB 2006-03-22 17:21:59 +0000 UTC
Very good. Definitely recommended.ORGBEHAV 2003-09-23 10:57:39 +0000 UTC
Good professor. Only had a paper due at the end of the class. Wasn't too concerned with the logistics of the paper. Tells lots of stories in class. Interesting.HRM3860 2003-06-23 16:00:26 +0000 UTC
