Tough grader. Very few HW assignments, three exams, and two projects. Very boring with his lectures, but posts videos to how to solve each problem.

I loved this class so easy you barely have to pay attention. He simply lectures in class, and there's a few problems to do for hw. He has videos that go over all the material. All the test are open note so as long as you keep organized and do the hw problems you will easily ace every test. He's super nice and will work to improve your grade.

The absolute worst. He makes no sense. Gives horrible feedback. Exams are near impossible and nothing like what he "taught" in class. So disorganized. Does not care about his students at all. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

This class is an easy A if you show up. All tests are open notes and exactly what we do in class. If you don't come to class you won't pass but he doesn't take attendance or give a grade for it. I barely pay attention in class and I got an A just cause I come and write down what he says. He mentions the textbook but you don't actually need it.

Dr. Epstein is not a bad guy but he is not a very good teacher. In lectures, he does not explain much and when he does explain a topic, he is not very clear and is very disorganized. The exams and projects are difficult and long. The good thing is the video lectures. Watch those! I would not personally recommend him.

One of the most disorganized Professors I have ever taken. He literally does not teach you anything and if you want to do well on the tests then you have to be able to teach yourselves. He could care less about how any of his students do and even says in the first class he doesn't even want to know our names. Awful.

This is the best professor I've ever meet. His lecture is very organized and he is very helpful. As an international student, I also asked him some dumb questions but every time he answered with patience. If you are stuck in your homework and emailed to him, he responds very quickly which helps you tackle the problem in time.

Tests are near impossible. This class is all on you. You'll have to attend all lectures, and teach yourself the material. Tough grader.

The easiest professors I've ever had. He gives you notes on every problem done in class ever, and you can use them on the exams (which there are only 3 of including the final). Exams are open note and open book, you can use literally anything besides the internet. Attendance isnt mandatory but if you're like me and not good with numbers, show up.

I enjoyed this class. Epstein kept it light with interesting examples and articles. Attendance is not mandatory and he gives a few simple group projects. I would recommend taking him.

He is the nicest professor. He assigns homework for every chapter ahead of time and never collects it, he just goes over it in class. Excel is all you use and you dont have to pay attention in class to understand everything. There are three exams, two projects, and numerous homeworks. Easy class with a great professor!

This class was great. Its very enjoyable. There are three exams and a project. Each exam is open book, open notebook and open laptop. Go to every class and take good notes and you will get an A. Professor Epstein is always there for assistance and he is a great guy.

This is the most difficult class I've had yet in the MBA program. I actually did learn a lot, but his teaching style was disorganized, the workload was torturous, and he was seemingly arbitrary about giving out mediocre grades on projects without explaining why. His exams aren't so bad, though. It is possible to get an A, but you'll have to work.

Comment:

The ever so fun wedding episode. Some guy knocks on the door and says he wants to propose to his soon to be wife in this room where we were having our test. Of course, Shelly moved us to another room for 10 minutes so the guy could propose. Ask someone you know who had Shelly. What a intresting man.
