Amazing Professor and will help you beyond the classroom. He wants you to succeed and if you know him well enough, you would know how passionate he is to his students. Amazing professor and is the best professor I have ever had so far.

He was an alright professor. Very condescending and a little bit sarcastic. I wouldn't take him again. In terms of grading, the TA's do most of the work so there's not much I can say for his grading style.

Comment:

Douglas Reid is the epitome of a low-quality professor. He was, by far, the worst professor that the Commerce program has to offer. His grading scheme is inconsistent and incoherent. More that that, he cares little about having an actual dialog with students; instead, he will resort to childish insults directed at us. His twitter bio says it all...

Douglas Reid is probably one of the hardest working and dedicated professor. I have never seen a prof care so much about his students. He goes beyond the Commerce program or academics, but gives advice about life outside of University. Douglas takes his time to answer your questions. He is amazing!

Comment:

Professor Reid provides very little guidance in how to do well in his course. He gives out 1 very large semester-long assignment for your group to do, a quiz every two weeks (both solo and group quizzes) and is a very hard marker. The final is basically a tossup since so much of the class is subjective.

Professor Reid wont spoonfeed you. He wants you to come to him, and ask him questions. Its true, there isn't always a strong template for everything, that's because he doesn't really care about grades that much. If you want to do well, bring your ideas to him and ask him to pick at your logic. Simple.

Comment:

Prof. Reid is an abhorrent professor at the undergraduate level. He may be celebrated at the graduate level, but he leaves much to be desired teaching 2nd years. He runs his classes with Kim-Jong-Un like egotistical arrogance, is EXTREMELY unclear with deadlines and expectations, gives little to no feedback, and takes forever to mark anything.

Comment:

Douglas Reid is a horrible undergraduate professor. He takes at least 5 weeks marking all assignments and mid term exams (we didn't get our mid-term exam until the final exam period). He consistently changes his opinions and deadlines for projects. He's very unorganized. He's also very condescending as well when talking to students.

Two years after I first met Doug, I still think of him as one of the best professors I've ever had. He cares about the students and spends a great deal of time and energy preparing for lectures.

He is a very good professor who challenges students to be their best. People either love him or hate him - a sign that he is making them think.

I finished the first course in my MBA with Prof. Reid and he is excellent! If this is Queen's I should have been an undergraduate here. He took time to help me and my new team. The lectures were clear and had lots of examples. He is funny and charming and insists on us being excellent too.

Now that the AMBA program is over, I have thought back over the year. This was the best course and best prof even though I was doubtful at the begginning of the course. He helped me learn, was there for my team, rated us fairly, made his expectations clear, answered emails fast. The best.

Not very helpfull and slow to respond. Is unclear on what his expectations are so it is confusing to do work for him. Avoid unless you have to.

What I've been waiting to get at Queen's. My team got more value from Reid than in any other course. Be prepared because he expects you to have read the case.
