Comment:
This is two classes in one, one standard and one amazing. First there's the normal stuff. Learn things in lectures, show you learned them. Okay. The second part is case studies, which was a student presentation followed by a sort of moderated debate; Extremely engaging, educational, and generally awesome. I wish more professors would do that!

Comment:
Probably the worst professor I've ever had. Lecture tests are based off miniscule information that he has on his handouts, and you have to answer the question exactly how it is on the handout to receive credit. For his chapter tests, if the answer isn't in the book, it's wrong even if it's right. It's not about what we know, but what the book said.

Although intimidating at first, if your a management major, I highly advise to take any of his classes. He is very knowledgeable and helpful. He makes the classroom lectures based on real life experiences. Only problem was a quiz every week got tiring.

Avoid if possible. Not only will this man do his best to make your life miserable, he'll do his best to make you feel stupid while doing it. Unreasonable expectations and he will express his disgust when you fall short. Class was one group project split into 4 parts. The only was I survived was by having a good group! Pray you get one too.

Comment:
Margulis is the worst professor I've experienced at Grand Valley. He encourages student participation and is rude/interrupts when they talk and doesn't hear what they have to say. For the sake of your sanity/education, just avoid him.

His tests can be hard, but he gives LOTS of options - you have to answer a certain amt of points that you choose. He's funny and entertaining, but sometimes can be taken the wrong way. Overall, I think he was a great professor and had a great experience with this class.

He's entertaining without a question and has a lot of history with HR, but when it comes to grading exams he's the worst. Wouldn't recommend if you're looking to boost your grade up.

tests are not very hard as long as you read the book and he gives you options of what problems to do the the tests...in box memos are pointless and participation is worth too much

The first day of class I wasn't sure what to expect, but he ended up being a great professor. He is actually very understanding, and if you study for his tests you'll do well. His grading is extremely fair, and if you put the time and effort into the class, you'll do well.

He doesn't verbalize expectations. He assumes students know about management before we even start the class. His in-box exercises are pointless. I didn't learn anything from them... choose a better teacher!

If you participate in class, come to class, and get involved it's a very simple class. The only thing bringing me down is his exams but if you study hard you will get a good grade. The in-box memo's are fairly easy after you figure out how he grades. Got an 86, 95, and then 100 on them so not too bad really. Take him if you want to learn.

He's Terrible! Tests are totally out there. The tests cover the book, but each tests covers 6 to 7 chapters and he doesn't give you a study guide. Class time is reserved for lecture (which has NOTHING to do with the book) and in box memos. The inbox memos are pretty stupid as well. They make you think, sure, but found them pointless. Stay away!

As long as you know the information on the study guides and handouts you will get a good grades on the tests. He may seem a little harsh the first week but as you go through the semester you find out he is really nice. The in-box memos can be hard but if you take a few hours on them and watch your mechanics you should do well. Will take him again.

Yes this class is hard- so if you don't want to work for your grade then stay away. However, he is a great professor who really knows what he's talking about. He offers great examples and his class truly helps prepare you for a career in business.

If you can help it, don't take him at all. There are plenty of other profs that will actually teach you something about management. Memo assignment is stupid- his class should be SWS with all that writing we had to do for minute points!

Not an easy class no matter who you have. In-Box Exercise is a pain, but it can be helpful. He does grade on length, which is stupid. Over all I thought the class was hard, but I did learn quite a bit in it. His exams are hard, one exam - two separate parts over two days, cut us some slack.

This guy is an idiot. Take you're typical egotistical colloge professor and multiply it. Even if you can figure out what this****is saying it won't help, I don't think he even has a clue what's coming out of his mouth. Oh, and the papers graded solely on length? Yeah, good idea, cause that's how the real world works....

Worst professor in my 5 years at gvsu. AVOID HIM. If there is any professor that cares less, its him. Absolutely the worst professor at GVSU, he should be removed.

Horrible! Avoid. Hopefully management of diversity is not still used to kill two classes for the price of one. It's worth it to not have to sit through Margulis' class!!!
