Comment:
If you gotta take SI422 (and you do gotta take SI422), take it with Furman. He's clear in class, always available outside of class, and he's sneaky funny. He totally cares about his students and is sensitive to personal issues. One of the best profs at BU.

One of my favorite professors at BU. Really informative, caring, and accommodating. Would take him again if I had the opportunity. Plenty of chances for participation which you should take advantage of.

This professor is the best professor at SMG- definitely top 3 I've had at BU. Go to class, participate, and do the reading and it's an easy class. He cares about his students as students and as people and he's incredibly smart.

Great professor. Extremely fair grader, clear in his explanations of the topic. Actually helps people learn the class. Pretty hilarious. Cold calls though, so make sure you read. Best professor I've had at BU hands down. Given this is a mandatory class to graduate, make sure you take him. Would take the class again in a heartbeat.

Comment:
Furman was an amazingly clear, engaging professor, and balanced fun with professionalism. I wasn't particularly interested in strategy prior to the course, but he made it really interesting. He was constantly available outside of class in office hours of via e-mail, and was sensitive to personal issues.

Great, fun Professor. Very helpful. Do all the reading and you'll be fine. Midterm average was a 88. He's head of the department, very interesting, and his classes do the least work. Absolutely the best

Furman might be a good undergraduate professor. His teaching has not yet matured enough to teach Graduate level students. He doesn't challenge students enough, and his high energy is borderline ADD and very distracting.

The only good thing about the class is that there is no final. Take MG with Furman if you want any chance of staying awake. Beware, he'll screw you in the end with the grading.
