Comment:
Class structure was a nice change of pace but the content of the class felt very much like a regurgitation of other entry level business classes with an international spin. Did not feel like I learned much from this class, and HWs and tests were long and only semi-related. Ended up with a MUCH lower grade than expected based ongrades prior to final

Dr. Mahon is the man! I did Organizational Leadership and the international field experience with him and it was incredible. He challenges you beyond the material and gives amazing life lessons from his own experience. Great guy, take a class with him before he retires!

Comment:
Lectures are fun to go to, however I don't recommend taking this class with him. Makes it harder then it needs to be. Assigned group projects that include two 25- 30 page papers. Thought I was going to get an A in the class. Ended up with a B- and have zero idea how that is possible.

Brilliant professor. Professor Mahon’s breadth and depth of academic knowledge and extensive ‘real-world’ experience were just the background for this class - Entrepreneurial Challenges. I learned more in this class than in any other, undergraduate OR graduate level! HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANY CLASS taught by him.

Comment:
He is ridiculous. This class was such a waste of time. His favorite teaching method is screaming into students ears. He canceled almost half of the classes and was such a waste of time. He hardly taught us anything so we all used the guessing method on the exams. Avoid this class, it ruined my semester!

let's just say you definitely do not get your moneys worth. he didn't show up to half the classes, makes you buy a giant, very expensive book that you barely need, and gives ridiculously hard tests that are impossible to study for.

I thought that it would be extremely beneficial but it turned out that it was a huge mistake. on the second week of school he cancelled half of the classes and made them podcasts that didnt work. Huge waste, and i didnt learn anything but current events, and he scales the exams so much because he cannot teach the material

Comment:
Decent professor, loves to walk around the room and talk (read:yell) about what he's teaching. Taking both Microeconomics and Accounting with this class made it feel extremely repetitive and almost useless Touches upon a lot of business aspects but I wouldn't say this class will make you love or hate a certain concentration. All tests are open book

Comment:
He uses his own textbook which is just a bunch of other textbooks jammed into one, and then charges over $100 for it. He didn't show up for class 90% of the time, and when he did he screamed "DEBT" over and over in people's ears. He's not the best by far. Then again what do you expect from the Head Dean?

Comment:
Hardest teacher by far last semester. Professor Mahon loved teaching the subject he would pretty much yell everything. Scale is ridiculous everyone must've got a B or better in the course. Although extremely difficult I think everyone who did all the assignments and went to all the exams must've done ok in the class.

Not a very strong teacher. Seemed to try to portray the real world with every mistake he anyone ever made in class, but it never made sense. never gave us a clear understanding of why we were there, and the class does not even count towards the major. overall it was a huge waste of time. Don't take this class.

This class was a lot of work and a lot of paper writing, but I learned a tremendous amount from his class. I TRULY recommend taking a class with him, he is an great professor and a funny guy. Just be sure you have time for a class with a heavy work load.
