Philip Evers BMGT488A Expecting an A Terpedo38 12/18/2008	This is a very enjoyable course if you are interested in the business side of sports. Most of the lectures are made by guest speakers, with Dr. Evers giving 2 or 3 lectures himself. We got to do some pretty cool things like good to the Under Armour distribution center, sit in a suite for a Capitals game and hear from Dr. Debbie Yow. Make sure you take some kind of notes from each lecture because you will need to remember key points for the final, which is 8 short essays from various broad topics addressed by the speakers and Dr. Evers. The other grades are a current event presentation (done with a partner), guest speaker introduction to give class background on the guest speaker and his/her profession (done in a group of 3-4), a case study which is pretty much opinion based so if you do it you will get a good grade and class participation, as long as you go to class and ask questions you will get 100% for class participation. He grades everything generously so you basically just have to do it and you'll be fine. Each assignment is 20% of your grade. The only drawbacks are that the class is 2 hours and 40 minutes long once a week, mine was Tuesday night 7-9:40pm. Also, its not always clear what to take note of during the guest speaker lectures, but if you pay attention you will probably remember enough to do well on the final.
