Aseem Baji BMGT402 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/06/2024	Really chill professor, super nice. Read off the slides, but would expand on the methodology behind the answers and explain a bit about real world practices for concepts, which was nice. 402 content can be pretty boring sometimes, but he tried his best! Overall I really liked him.
Yizhi Liu BMGT402 Expecting an A- Anonymous 05/16/2024	Sometimes his lectures are boring but overall a good dude, wants to see you succeed. Every assignment and exam is pretty fair.
Yunfei Wang BMGT402 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 05/14/2024	Yunfei is a professor that genuinely wants you to learn and understand. He will always answer any question, no matter how 'dumb' it might be. He is very responsive and helpful as well as understanding. Great professor, I would take him again if I could!
Woei-Jyh Lee BMGT402 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/12/2024	I would give him negative stars if I could. It is so hard to pay attention because the content is boring. To make it even worse, it is very difficult to understand what he's saying. I had to teach myself everything. If you can help it, take literally another other professor.
Yunfei Wang BMGT402 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 03/26/2024	yunfei is the goat. 10/10 he was such an amazing professor.
Yizhi Liu BMGT402 Anonymous 03/08/2024	He's an okay professor, sometimes a bit confusing when he's explaining a concept. This is mainly for his TA. She never greeted us in lab or walk us through the problems, and almost made me drop the class because of her mistake.
Yizhi Liu BMGT402 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/22/2023	He covered a lot of information in class and that would make it challenging to pay attention some times. About once a week, we had an in-class activity and he would basically give us the answers at the end of class. The labs were run by the TA and they were pretty straightforward. The lowest 2 labs/hws and lowest 2 activities were dropped. In total, there were only 2 homework assignments. He is such a kind and understanding professor. We were supposed to have lab once a week, but he canceled it on Halloween because he wanted us to have fun and be able to go to parties. He also made our midterm a take-home exam and was very generous when it came to grading it. Our final was open notes/class slides. It was pretty challenging, but he gave us a guide of what was going to be on it. I would recommend reviewing the concepts and making sure you have a good understanding of the them before the exam. Do not count on figuring it out while taking the exam. I definitely recommend taking him if you can :)
John Bono BMGT402 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/11/2023	He is a terrible person who doesn't care about his students, but he will force you to learn. Classes may or may not have clicker questions, which aren't gimme points, and you don't know when they are coming so you have to go to class so your grade doesn't drop. The material is overly confusing in the way he presents it. He has "any questions?" slides but he sprinted through the content that students don't know what to even ask about. There are so many practice problems, which help you learn the material. This class is extremely time consuming and every TA is given crazy rubrics. I haven't gotten 100 on an assignment since the first week of class and those were lockdown browser completion quizzes. And i have attended every class. Tje content is easyish, he is not. He is excited to be smarter than everyone else despite the fact that we are students and he's a professional. He makes his students feel bad about themselves and begrudgingly offers MINIMAL assistance. He does short answer quiz homeworks where you get a grade back but do not know what you got wrong and students average 40/100 on them routinely. Don't take him unless you are prepared to despise him and work hard. He genuinely does not care about his students.
Gujie Li BMGT402 Expecting an A Anonymous 07/25/2023	Prof Li would break down the material in a very detailed and easy to understand manner. He also provided many examples and exercises that were helpful to enhance my learning. I was so grateful for it.
Woei-Jyh Lee BMGT402 Expecting an A Anonymous 07/13/2023	The set up of the course is very dependent on in class lectures/practice problems, and labs. The main way to succeed in this class is to show up and learn from the practice problems/quizzes while utilizing the Labs with the TA to ask questions. Professor Lee at times explains things poorly which causes students to lean towards teaching themselves in a way they understand. But Professor Lee isn’t one for surprises, everything you complete in the class is found somewhere in lecture slides, labs or quizzes. The resources are there, it just takes extra questions (either to the TA or in-class) to completely understand the material. The slides are at times confusing so clarifying questions are needed there as well.
Rachit Kamdar BMGT402 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/21/2023	This professor was very chill and laid back. There are small weekly assignments and labs, a few homeworks, and a group project. Everything was manageable and easy to digest, however I was new to SQL/databases so it did take some time to learn everything but you can use your notes on everything.
Gujie Li BMGT402 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/06/2023	Class is a bit difficult but very helpful. Gujie’s always responsive to questions and emails. He prepares you well for quiz and exam, and helps you to succeed. But still have to work hard to get a good grade.

Woei-Jyh Lee BMGT402 Anonymous 03/26/2023	Defenitely not worth your time. Although every student gave bad reviews for his teaching, smith school of business doesn't give a damn about the feedback given by studnets. Instead we are being forced to have him again for big data course.
Bingze Xu BMGT402 Expecting a B Anonymous 02/01/2023	Although there was a bit of a language barrier, the professor did his best to help us succeed and learn these topics. I would recommend studying outside of class because you wouldn't be able to understand it all during class. It is somewhat fast-paced, but assignments are not easy nor difficult.
John Bono BMGT402 Expecting an A Anonymous 01/13/2023	I learned so much from this professor, and the experience has been extremely valuable! The teaching style is more strict than what most are used to, but by doing so students are encouraged to solve their own problems and think through their own logic. The course is challenging and requires a significant time investment. The professor provides very clear notes that are available for reference at any time and many in-class practices, which are extremely helpful. Overall, I would say this is as close to a perfect introduction to coding as it gets.
John Bono BMGT402 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/17/2022	This class is demanding and will require you to work hard but if you put in the effort you should be fine.

Lots of work for the class, a lab, and HW are due on Friday and Sunday at 8 PM, respectively. Each takes a couple of hours of effort. His teaching style was terrible; makes life difficult by not giving examples of practice questions in slide lectures and gives unannounced clicker quizzes. However, if you show up on time to every class you should get a 100. No practice exams and he never goes over your old assignments and is very nitpicky with his grading. TA's do all of his gradings and it takes weeks at a time.
