SUCH AN EASY CLASS. I can't say that enough. If it is only a gen ed take Will Smith. He gives you all of the answers to the test the class period before the test. Lectures are basically worthless. Really nice guy too.

great teacher, really likes ribs from applebees. Every class is either a test or quiz review. Easy class for a social awareness.

Comment:
easiest class i have ever taken! he gives study guides before each quiz and test that are quite helpful and we go through them in class the day before the test or quiz. he can be boring in lecture sometimes but you can tell he's really interested in what he's teaching! overall, i would definately recommend him for this class!

Comment:
Lectures can get boring, but he is funny too. He is a bit scatter brained during lectures, but he gives you an outline for tests and quizzes that are directly off the test. If you take notes and do the outline, you'll get an A with little work outside the classroom.

Comment:
Lectures could get kind of boring but he went over all tests and quizzes the class before they would be given. You can miss up to 4 classes before he'll start to take points away or so he says. If you study well for all tests and quizzes you'll get an A.

He should not be teaching online.. took a month for him to get my final grade in after he told me otherwise. Was very lienant on my papers when I put no effort in them and turned all of them in late. The positive thing is he wrote outlines for each test.. so if you completed that study guide you knew word from word what was on the test.

Comment:
Was the hardest, because he doesn't agree with everyone and grades really hard. One paper was about his business and he took it offenive and said that I was totally wrong and he gave me a 50 out of 100 on the first paper than recived 80s for the rest. NEVER TAKE HIS ONLINE CLASSES, because he never stays up to date takes forever for a responce.

Comment:
I just got a paper back for his online class and was told that I was wasting his time. He never gives constructive criticism, but will always put you down. Takes a long time to grade papers, and isn't willing to help students when they misunderstand things. I would definitely not recommend taking him online, maybe he is different in person.

Comment:
Bill is the quirkiest guy. He goes off on tangents, and can be difficult to understand. He says the funniest, most random things. Lectures are pretty boring, but if you attend classes before tests and quizzes, he'll tell you EVERYTHING that will be on it. No homework, 5 tests, 5 quizzes, final optional. If you can memorize, you're guaranteed an A.

Took MGMT447 online. His assignments could be confusing at times, but he graded easy. Gave us test questions ahead of time. He probably shouldn't teach online classes, I don't think he really knows how to use Ferris Connect very well.

Prof. Smith is definately scatter brained at times. He knows his stuff when it comes to a business mgt. class but I would not take him for econ. The format of his tests are funky. Just study everything on his outlines to the teeth & you'll be ok

This teacher is very scatter brained. He is all over in lecture. He does not always follow the review sheet like everyone on here seems to think he does. I would not take him again.

Super easy. Be there for the review and the test is identical to it. Stupid if you can't get an A in his class.
