Comment:

Lectures are taken directly from the book and recited off a powerpoint. He expects that you have already read the chapter and taken detailed notes, and attendance is mandatory - if you miss a class you have to have emailed him ahead of time. The group assignment is a joke, practically no direction. Exams are pretty easy if you have done the reading

Bob is by far my favourite prof at KPU. Great marker, and his class is a great GPA booster if you read the chapters and make good notes. Greatly recommend taking Bob's class.

Semi-aggressive at times, but overall very nice to students who attended class on time and were respectful. Somewhat of an easy grader.

Comment:

-Expects you to "read for understanding and take detailed notes" -Lessons are essentially 3 hours of him reading off photocopies of the PowerPoint and asking "did you get that?" -Everybody was confused about the group project, criteria was very vague -Tells you what to study for exams -Only in his office if you make an appointment ahead of time

Bob is the kind of teacher I wish there were more of. Respectful, Funny, Knowledgeable and so much more. I was afraid of University but its teachers like Bob that show you that with a great mentor and hard work, the sky is the limit.

Comment:

Bob does not know how to teach. He just tells you to read the textbook and take notes. He tells you he will help if you have any questions but then when you actually ask him, he gets mad at you. Also, he doesn't tell you anything about the big group project. You have to figure it out yourself. Avoid him at all costs.

Comment:

Bob lectures are very boring and long. He asks the class every minute or two to put their thumb up for clarification. He does an very poor job at giving directions to others and focuses no time on the group project that is worth 30% of your grade. His directions are vague. The only positive was him telling you what was on the test the week before.

Just read the text and and your good. Lectures are dry, and he is very unclear about the group project which was a headache. You can miss some classes but he does tell you what's on the exams.

Bob is by far the worst prof, or even teacher for that matter that I have ever experienced. All I can hope for by writing this is that I save one person from taking his class. I promise that anyone who is in their right mind will hate dealing with his bs! He gives group projects with 0 direction at all, and if you ask for help he will turn you away

He's a great proff! Just read the textbook and take your own notes and everything will be fine. 2 midterms, final exam and a learning group project. His explanations are clear and he's a fair marker. Read the textbook and you'll ace the exams!

Great guy. Class is interesting. Group project. Class would have been more valuable with individual projects as opposed to the dreaded group project.

Bob's a great guy. Very fair marker and gives very useful hints on what will be on all the exams. Everything is fairly straightforward but there is one large project worth 35% of your grade, so pick reliable and hardworking people!

Bob definitely knows what he's talking about and is very responsive to questions asked in class and through e-mail. He lets you know what will be on ALL the exams which is very useful. His class attendance is mandatory. If you study and go to class you will be fine! Make sure you have a good group for your project though. I ended up with an A-

Bob knows his stuff and will teach you a lot ... but you're going to have to work your arse off for a good grade. I spent most of my time studying for this class last semester and squeaked out a B where I got an A+ and A in my other courses. Tests are tough even though he tells you most of what will be on it. Read the textbook for comprehension!

Bob was awesome... Easy to talk to, made the class interesting and tells you exactly what is on the tests... if you don't walk out of that class with at least an A-, your an idiot for not paying attention. Easy A and great teacher

Bob knows his stuff. He has tons of industry experience and is passionate about H.R. If your looking to get an easy mark, Bob is not the teacher for you, he expects hard work but so does any boss in the real world so you might as well get used to it now.

Very boring. Just paraphrases the book. His exams are very easy because he tells you what is going to be on all his exams. He assigns a group project which is very unclear and a bit of a headache.
