Quality 4/5Difficulty 3/5

Small lecture size, based largely on in-class discussion. Quizzes before every lecture, most covering textbook material. There is one group project where you will put together a 30 page business plan for a start-up. Only two exams.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5

This is my first class in the business school, and Martin was great. He was enthusiastic, friendly, helpful and gave a lot of feedback on homework. Only downside was reading 10-20 pages of case studies/articles every week w/ brief analysis and book quizzes online (easy to skim) AND a group project at the end. I would definitely take again!
