Comment:
Horrible teacher. Avoid at all cost. He will make you feel stupid whenever you come to his office hours. No quiz, his assignments are worth 14% each. His grading is hard and he is a very detailed, every single things count in the assignment. His class is boring and useless. 200 questions on the final was hard. AVOID.

He will knock you out points for everything! commas, dates, signature, making up titles. Only 4 to 5 assignments, that are supposed to be easy, he grades hard on them. 200 questions final exam! good luck!

Comment:
Everything is graded REALLY harshly. When you ask him questions (office hours/class hours) he makes you feel like the dumbest person on the planet. Extremely difficult to even get a B. Resume, cover letter, thank you letter, time extension letter, and a 200 questions final. Good luck with this old man. You will definitely need it.

You have to go to class but bring something to do because he just reads the text book to the class. Really boring. Super hard grader. You'll most likely get a C.. Not sure if it's possible to get an A even if you go to office hours

PLEASE, avoid taking this class with him if possible. Prof. Dalbey is not a horrible guy, but the way he structures his class and grades assignments are ridiculous. This is the only class I did not receive an A in this semester. The final is horrendous, there are 200 questions and half of the material is not even covered in class!

Comment:
He's not impossible but he really is a pain. Like 40% of your grade is small writing assignments. They sound easy but he is reaaally picky. 30% is this group 30 page report. It's not as bad as it sounds but he grades them really tough so make sure yours is perfect, and pick a good topic. The final is 30%, 200 questions, and it's just ridiculous.

I believe that if you went to class and office hour that you will be fine in the course. He was a hard instructor but i learned a lot from this individual that heavily applies to the business world. If you want to get an easy grade go take Kennedy's 290 class, but if you want to actually learn applicable business techniques take this course.

like the last review said, his way or the C way. he grades on a scale of 1 to 4, so he finds 2 average. the LAR is a pain and must be PERFECT or you will get a bad grade. nothing gets by him and you have to keep consistency. hes extremely conceited and will tell the same story many times. pronounces words peculiarly too

First of all, DO NOT buy the text book OR the reference manual. Everything he says/tests on is out of his 2 course readers. You probably won't get good grades on the assignments. He grades based on his standards, not the real world. His way or the highway. Class isn't horrible, it's just boring stuff.

Comment:
I graduated from SDSU over 10 years ago. I felt that I had to mention how terrible this professor was in order to help others avoid his arrogance & inconsistent grading. If at all possible, take the course with a different professor. On the first day I knew I was in trouble based on the way he spoke to students & by the way he glorified himself.

the final will kill you. but somehow i got a B in the class. if you get him, make sure you go to his office hours so then he knows you... i think thats how i passed. take all assignments to his office hours before you hand them in, he corrects it and then you fix it then you pass the class. oh and the LAR sucks, but if he likes you, you will be ok.

worst teacher ever. grab a daily aztec before class to be entertained. if ur stuck with him make sure to see him before u turn in assignments to have a chance at a decent grade i cant emphasize that eneough. he has not problems with failing anyone for any reason. meticulously read over LAR to pass, remember visit him before assignments are due!

not interesting at all. Will tell you the same stories in every class and likes to hear himself talk. BORING class! REALLY REALLY hard grader. Heard he's better than Flatley, but in general, this class is common sense turned into a hard class.

He is a very cultured man...maybe too much. Strange since of humor-long final and group report. only a few basic writing assignments-but VERY HARD grader. If you ask questions and have him look over your stuff, you will do fine. Every detail counts-.,!?, grammar,spelling, etc are vital!!!!
