He's excessively controlling during lectures and inhibits free conversation by keeping his finger on the mute button and requiring people to raising hands on zoom. I have never observed another professor do this, and its extremely counterproductive. Very strange for an MBA class.",

He's a nice, down to earth guy and all he cares about is that you're showing you &quot;get&quot; course concepts. He's not concerned with writing style, etc for case briefs. He keeps you engaged/on your toes with polls and other creative ways. 10/10 would take again.",
