grade is attendance at 3 or 4 tests. thats it. accent is heavy and hard to understand. record every word he says. If you skip one class you are WAY behind and miss tons. lectures are monotone, boring, he hates phones out. I had to beg for office hour meetings, doesn't like explaining things twice

Comment:
His lectures are crazy monotone so be ready to bring a pillow. The class has no homework, so the grade is based purely off of your midterms and final. While the tests aren't too bad, he doesn't tell you the specific material that's going to be in the test. For our first midterm, both classes averaged at a 59 and still no curve. overall, no bueno

Comment:
There are only three tests in this class in your grade. No homework, quizzes, projects or anything else in your grade so your tests make or break your grade. You need to remember exactly what he says in lectures to pass the tests and you can't interpret for yourself at all. This teacher just lectures and his class is very boring.

Don't miss class and MEMORIZE definitions exactly as he shows them. There are only three tests based on his lectures. Do not interpret what you think he says. You will get marked down if you do not recite what he says. Do not use concepts from other classes. It is his words or you are wrong.

I Failed. Took a WF. His class is terrible. 2 midterms, 1 final. Thats it. No homework. No quizzes. No projects. No essays. No Textbook as he doesn't care for it. His class is based off his lectures. He's boring, quiet, gets off topic, and expects us to follow through everything. Takes attendance daily. I couldn't do it anymore. First time with a F

Now that I have finished this course, I will tell you DO NOT READ THE BOOK, instead focus on his lectures, whatever he says jot them down on your notes because they will be on the exam. I bombed my first two exams because I relied on the book, but the test is 100% based on the lectures. I did passed the class with a C though, so I wish ya'll luck.

Have to go to class and take lots of notes else you can't pass the test. 100% of the tests are lecture-based only, textbook isn't used at all. Class is determined only by 3 tests, although the final is the easiest test. Never had to study so much for a class but at least it's made me a lot better at note-taking and studying. He has high standards.

Comment:
Grading is based on 3 exams + final. No textbook, offers online reading material as "supplementary" to lectures. All exams are based on his lectures (attendance is mandatory if you plan to pass) He has a very heavy accent, he's monotone and doesn't use power point. His grading is very subjective, he takes no accountability, his material is outdated

You MUST go to class. You MUST take notes (to the best of your ability at least). He is super hard to understand in his lectures and writes keywords (no definitions) in broken cursive on the whiteboard. He uses boring examples to explain things and he goes on rants about stuff that is irrelevant to the course. No homework just 5 tests so STUDYalot

Comment:
Difficult to understand, speaks in relatively broken English. Only grades comes from attendance and three exams, including final. Tests are multi-choice and essay, and not easy at all. Take detailed notes and read the textbook front to back. Looking up previous students notes online will help, but get ready to study HARD.

Professor Onkvisit is a great professor. His lectures are full of useful material related to the real world which is easily understandable. He is heavy on lecturing and take good notes since all 3 exams comes straight out of his lecture notes. No need to read the book. The reason why students don't do well is because they do not take good notes.

Professor Onkvisit doesn't fool around and expects you to do the same. Take good notes because the tests will be based entirely off of his lectures. He is somewhat soft spoken, so sit closer you got bad hearing. 2 tests, 1 noncumulative final, and a little sprinkle of participation crafts your grade. There is an essay portion on the tests. Be wary.

2 exams, 1 final non-cumulative(no other assignments). That being said the exam is all from lecture no textbook needed. Take very detailed notes and try not tobe distracted. The reason people don't do well is because they are not focused. To get a good grade you will need to copy down every word he says so attendance is mandatory. He takes attednce

Doesn't assign homework or extra material to help you learn any of the actual coursework. Your whole grade is based off of 3 tests when he grades extremely harshly on the essay portion. He doesn't even tell you what you did wrong, just puts big question marks all over your paper. Save yourself, do not take this guy.

Avoid taking him if you can. If you could get pass the boring lectures, you won't with the unfair grading of his. Tests are practical and (misleadingly) easy, but be concise with your answers--better yet--mimic his exact definitions. Good luck.

Not a good professor at all. I STRONGLY recommend not taking his class. I have never failed a class in my life until I took his class this semester. He only has 3 exams and that is it. If you do bad on one of them, its hard to get a decent grade in the class. He is also hard to understand when he lectures!

Comment:
Onkvisit's teaching methods are outdated. He stands and rambles with examples that tend to be outdated. Lectures tend to be incredibly difficult to pay attention to, but you will not be able to study on your own as your instructor's lecture will not line up with a textbook or the Internet. Do not bother buying a textbook, but you MUST go to class.

Dr. Onkvisit is an excellent instructor. If Marketing is your major, and want to learn about the subject, he is the instructor for you. There are only 3 exams, no homework no projects. His exams have no surprises, attend every class and write good notes you will get an A, I did. Dr. Onkvisit cares about his student and always there to help.

I'm sad because international business is my major and I failed. He is awful! So mean and a horrid teacher. Save your money and time and don't take him.
