Prof Deneckere seemed like a very nice person, but I found his lectures very hard to follow. He had no slides, just wrote on the chalkboard, and I had a hard time reading his handwriting. The cases we analyzed were often outdated and focused on industries that I found uninteresting. The grading was also extremely erratic and slow.Rate My Professors ↗
Extremely dry lecturer and very unhelpful. Grading rubrics were vague and didn't return feedback to assignments in a timely fashion. One of the worst classes I've taken at this universityRate My Professors ↗
Incredibly dry lecturer, and those who do go to class don't pay any attention. Some of the case analyses are interesting, but the rest of the course is overly theoretical and far from applicable postgrad.Rate My Professors ↗
Conflicted because he's such a nice guy and seems to genuinely want his students to succeed. He's really easy with the grading, but the distribution of this class was so unfair: 45% midterm, 45% final, 10% homework. That's it. The content is so dense and boring, and lectures were so dry. But if you don't go, you fall behind. Do NOT recommend.Rate My Professors ↗
Each week, you'll have two homework assignments, each involving reading approximately 28-53 pages of material. These assignments typically require at least 2 hours to complete. Be prepared for a final paper that demands extensive industry analysis and is often considered the most challenging aspect of the course. In summary, run!Rate My Professors ↗
Fairly easy class, however Ray is maybe the driest lecturer on campus. Class can be a drag, but definitely do not need to attend the lectures to get a good grade in this class. Most of your grade is based off a final project, which is important to find a good group to work with. Do the work and you'll be fine, but also likely will be bored.Rate My Professors ↗
