Very harsh grader. You have to get 100% on all the content quizzes to get an A. Overall I didn't like this class and will be dropping this Major.Rate My Professors ↗

Jake is a great guy, but extremely harsh grader. Most people get A's, I unfortunately didn't. Takes a point or two off on every other quiz which adds up. Not much touchup on subjects especially since its project based. Overall, class isn't too bad. You have to ace all the quizzes to have a shot at an A, otherwise you immediately start dropping.Rate My Professors ↗

The class was incredibly easy. It is basically an easy A. The only reason I did not get an A was because I missed one of the weekly quizzes, and Professor Dean refused to allow for a dropped quizzes or a remake. In all honesty, the class is a joke of an intro to Supply Chain course. I learned nothing.Rate My Professors ↗

Jake is the Director of the SC program and has a lot of industry experience. Brings a lot of real world/current examples into the class which are interesting and helpful. Nice person and really gets you thinking about business decisions from a SCM perspective. A solid intro class for a booming business discipline.Rate My Professors ↗

Unclear grading criteria, arrogant, and coursework was not helpful in increasing student knowledge of SC. From day one you can tell he cares about his paycheck rather than student engagement. He is in at 7:00/7:30 am and gone by 4:00/4:30 pm, sometimes earlier. Punching the clock without a care of how his students do. No work ethic.Rate My Professors ↗
