Comment:
Most valuable class I took at ISU. Though it required a great deal of effort, I gained a great deal of knowledge from Fitz. He doesnt teach conventional business,rather, new and more relevant material about sustainability and how to incorporate it into the bottom line. If you want to learn something rather than get an easy A, this class is for you.

Comment:
Prefers to be called Fitz rather than Dr. Fitzgibbons, but runs the class as if it is a dictatorship as he is quite close minded. Though he has great ideas with respect to CSR, his overall ideas can become clouded due to his loss of touch with the business world.

Here I am, 6 years later reviewing Fitz. I took his class Fall Semester 2008. I hated that class while I was in it, but it has seriously, seriously helped me in my professional life. He teaches you to think critically and communicate intelligently. I use those skills every day at work.

Fitz is a very smart guy and he expects a lot from you. IT's essential to show up to class and get an early start on the final project or you will surely fall behind. Take him and you will learn more than you could have imagined about corporate social responsibility and management tactics. A challenging, but rewarding class!

This is not an easy class, but you'll gain a lot of useful knowledge for the business world. TIPS - Keep up-to-date with news, Read Everything, Reread Everything. Rough teacher but likes to argue, so you can argue your point back on assignments and tests.

Comment:
I wish I had more than 350 characters to explain all the things I didn't like about this class. I trusted other RMP reviews and took this class because I enjoy a challenge, but ended up with a frustrating semester studying sustainability alone, and ignoring other aspects of strategy. Fitz is the only professor I had that I truly didn't like.

Comment:
If other business professors at ISU were half as engaged and genuinely interested in student growth and success as Fitz, then the ISU business school reputation could compete with U of I. I wish other business courses at ISU required the contributions that Fitz expects from his students. For those of you just wanting to graduate, move along.

Comment:
originally when finishing Fitz' class, i was relieved to never have to see him again bc i thought the class was so unfair based on the coursework and time involved. now a semester later, i can truly say i got more out of this class than any other ive ever taken. Not easy in the least bit, but the class will change how you see the business world

Great professor. You really haven't learned until you have had class with Fitz. Class discussions are engaging and bring new insights to what's happening in the real world. Exams are tough, but as long as you build a solid relationship with your teammates and meet regularly to complete the project, you will get the grade you deserve in the class.

One of the best classes that challenged me! Work my butt off and learned the meaning of TEAM WORK. You must have good writing, communication, and leadership skills to do well in his class. Visit him and keep him up to date with what's going on with you. Communicate with your team. Speak up and often. Read the articles. Start that project now.

Only for those who are interested in the subject material and want challenge. Additionally, if you take the class be prepared to read about an hour a day ALL five days a week and be prepared to spends days working TOGETHER to complete to final paper. The final paper is comprehensive review of all the all the class principles Worth it I had 18 hours

When you are choosing a professor for MQM 385, ask yourself if you would rather do little to no work and learn nothing or work extremely hard and learn more than you've ever learned in a class before. If the answer is the second one, take Fitz.

This class truly makes the COB a better school. You can't just go through the motions with this class. Heads up: save EVERYTHING. you'll need it all later in the semester. But this class is awesome. He loves his job and it shows.

This by no means is an easy course, however it is one of the most beneficial courses in the COB. Fitz expects a lot out of his students, but he will help you succeed in any way possible. Take notes, READ the articles, and start the project EARLY and you should not have a problem. You will see things in a new way after a semester with Fitz!

Great professor and you will get your monies worth by taking this course with Prof. Fitz. To succeed in the course, be organized, take good notes, start the project early, and speak in class. Do not take other MQM 385 professors because they are too easy and you will leave ISU unenlightened. Take Fitz He is not unreasonable; this is college people!

The best choice that I made in my college career was to take Fitzgibbons for MQM 385. The course is relevant and interesting. If you love your education you will really enjoy this course. It is hard work but rewarding at the end. I still think about the topics and material covered in class. GREAT CLASS!
