RANDY ROCKS. This field study/seminar was life changing. Randy is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about life and travel and international relations. I'm so sad he's retiring and others won't get the chance. You'll put in the time and the effort, but you'll definitely be rewarded. THANK YOU RANDY!

RANDY IS THE BEST. He's so enthusiastic, has incredible working experience, and truly cares about your learning. His tests are very straightforward if you've paid attention in lecture. The practice exams help a lot. Overall, this class is very manageable and as long as you put in effort, you'll do very well. Don't purchase the book - all slides.

Randy is the best! He doesn't put much emphasis on your grades, he cares more about getting you involved in real-life scenarios and problem solving. You can learn so much from him if you come to class, and the tests are very simple!

Randy is probably my favorite professor I have had at UW - Madison. He is super energetic, friendly, and knowledgeable about his topics. You definitely need to attend lectures as his test questions are pretty much only related to his slides and he talks about them in great depth. If you ever have ANY questions, he is more than happy to help!

This class was in many ways wasted potential. The subject matter was boring and repetitive when it didn't have to be. Randy is an upbeat, enthusiastic guy who really cares about the class and his students. Unfortunately, the temporary substitute was a bit of a tyrant, but that was not the profs fault. All in all, easy class, but not fun easy.

A good professor, but really long-winded and reads a lot straight off of slides (this is for MHR300-online). The class itself is the business school's attempt to teach a class that should probably be redesigned and updated as some sort of psychology in the workplace class, not a business course.
