Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Dan is a nice guy and a good professor, you can tell he's passionate about what he teaches. The exams do have some bogus questions that come from random online videos that you have to watch. But only about 40% of your grade is based off the exams. So if you do well on the homework assignments, quizzes, and the T-Shirt project you'll be fine.

Professor Olszewski was a good lecturer. I enjoyed their lectures and the slides were posted online for review. The t-shirt project is fun if you want it to be. However, most of the class is graded off of 2 exams. You'll want to do the readings and watch the videos thoroughly to do well in this class.

Quality 2/5Difficulty 3/5
He's a great guy overall, but the exams were unfair. They ask highly specific questions about videos and readings instead of lecture content. However, the class is not exam heavy, so you should easily pass if you do all the homework and do good on the project.

Quality 4/5Difficulty 3/5
Dan is a great professor. He tries to engage everyone in the lectures. The class is half online and half in person and this can make the exams a little harder but if you study you will be ready. The main part of this class is the T-Shirt project and you can still pass if you don't sell any as long as you do well on all other assignments.

Quality 4/5Difficulty 3/5
Overall he's a good prof, super nice, decently easy assignments. My team placed in top3 for tshirt project. But the exams... i think theyre kinda bogus. Lots of very randomly specific questions about what a certain person said in a video (out of so many videos and readings). Just hard to study for the exams cuz of all the different materials.

Dan was awesome. MHR 322 was a great intro into the business world. He covered a lot of topics, and his exams were completely fair. As long as you complete all the assignments you will be fine in his class.
