He cares about his students.\n\nCons:\nHis class is the most disorganized and messy I've ever seen. Lecture materials are riddled with grammar/spelling errors. He's not very knowledgable in statistics, but he thinks he is. He's stubborn and forgetful, so get everything in writing.", "source_url": "https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/10222", "quality_rating": 1, "difficulty_rating": 2 }, { "observed_at": "2026-09-07 16:22:48.070372+00:00", "run_id": "20260907T155543-ce3781c4", "source_review_id": "UmF0aW5nLTM5OTgyNjY3", "source_instructor_id": "rmp:10222", "instructor_name": "Loren Kuzuhara", "course_label": "MHR305", "course_id": "MHR 305", "course_uid": "course_20ad8a3fe94b90ec70d01ecd", "review_date": "2024-11-19 19:23:20 +0000 UTC", "comment": "He's a great guy and a good professor. He knows a lot about management, but it's pretty lecture-heavy and it'll be hard to do well on the quizzes if you don't go to class. No exams and easy grading.
