Has a very clear grading criteria that is easy to follow if you pay attention to detail. Gives great real-world examples and makes the class relatable. The brutal comments on here are probably from lazy students who wanted an easy class. Taking this professor is worth the hard work!

Comment:
Earl made it easy to loose all motivation towards doing well in MGT330. The man reads straight from the textbook and his lecture slides are copied and pasted to powerpoint. His exam questions are intentionally ambigious, its almost as if he wants his students to fail. He is old school and has an authoritarian style of teaching. Avoid this class

Long story short don't take this Professor! There are 3 exams that are worth 300 points each, over 100 questions. If you're not a great at exams, don't waste your time. He was honestly the worst professor I've ever had.

Definitely don't go into this class thinking that it will be an easy A but he isn't bad at all. Most of the comments are from students who don't actually want to do work to pass. He will give you a question a day on each chapter which turns into extra credit. Tests are pretty hard you just really need to study and TAKE NOTES!

GREAT PROFESSOR. He has REAL world experience and shares a ton of insight outside of the class material! If you want a blow off management class, don't take this one. The only thing worth points are three exams and one presentation (extra credit opportunities too). If you are willing to put in some effort don't worry about this class!

Comment:
The worst professor I have ever had in college. He claims to have only given a single digit number of A's in his career, which is not something to be proud of, just a testament to poor teaching ability in my opinion. Sets unreasonable expectations of undergrad students. elitist personality. I am an A-B student & failed. DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE!

You will have 1 daily oral question to answer. Get ready to get negative points. Questions on the books picture boxes show you what on my subject understanding? You'll have 3 exam with 100 questions. We had more than 10 people to drop the class on 1st exam. Dont bother on extra credit. He is rude, stupidly strict & stubborn. DONT TAKE HIM.

Just don't bother with this guy. He's a waste of time and makes you fall asleep. He really isn't fit to teach. If you want to learn about management do not take him.

Professor Simendinger is my favorite professor at UT. Amazing teacher who genuinely wants you to learn and do well. As long as you show up to class and read the assigned chapters you will do great!

Exams are around 80-100 questions and are really narrow, you need to really read and take notes on the chapters before class for when he calls on you. You can do well but you really need to devote a lot of time and effort.

Comment:
The course itself is relatively easy and each student should be able to do well. However, in his class its impossible to do well because his tests are ridiculous. You will need to know the chapters inside and out, and even then it might not be enough. He will make you hate going to class because of his dull lectures that he reads from the book.

Comment:
Do not take him. Impossible to get an A. I had a 4.o (took way harder classes) yet his grading is so unnecessarily tough. He is kind of rude, and if you don't remember a specific detail about a chapter, you get a minus. Tests are 100 questions, if you don't get a 92 on every exam, you're A is gone. Each test is 25% of grade. Do the math.

25% of your grade is based on particpation in class. He will quiz everyone in class if you have read the material. Each question you get right is a +, and - for the ones you get wrong. You have to know the details for lectures and the book. There will be case studies that are fun. Exams are very detailed. Tough Grader.

DO NOT TAKE THIS GUY!!!! He makes you read the chapter before every class which is 15-25 pages. And than in class he asks every single person one, extremely specific, question on the chapter that you had to read. If you get the question wrong you get a minus, if you get it correct you get a plus. This counts for 25% of your grade!!!!!!!

Comment:
WORST PROFESSOR. SHOULD BE FIRED IMMEDIATELY. THE fact he is still a professor makes me reevaluate my decision on coming to University of Tampa. Very unreasonable. if you have to take him, take the class another semester with another professor. Information is not understanding the concept by memorizing random things from the book ...
