I would not take this class if you need an entrepreneurship credit. Every class is just students giving presentations. The presentation also involves you having to know someone who is willing to share all the financial details about their company which makes it very difficult to do. Course material is rarely talked about in class and exams are hardRate My Professors ↗
Just didn't love the class format for 422. You basically read and are examined only on the reading. Then, in class, every day is student presentations not having to do with exam material. Didn't work for me.Rate My Professors ↗
This class is definitely very interesting and very useful career-wise, but Jon's teaching method just doesn't work for me. You have to read the textbook on your own and every synchronous class is a student presentation. His lectures are all interviews with entrepreneurs and it feels quite sporadic.Rate My Professors ↗
One of my favorite professors at UW. Very practical guy that makes class entertaining while also making it centered around real world skills and useful information.Rate My Professors ↗
He is a very fair professor and the class is easy. I had a 100% until the final and the class is an easy A if you do the reading and attend lecture. I definitely recommend the class to anyone interested in entrepreneurship.Rate My Professors ↗
He tweaks out occasionally so get use to that but all and all a good professorRate My Professors ↗
