Good professor overall. You will have to attend lectures since he highlights the information that will be on quizzes or exams, and takes attendance. He does not post notes. Very engaging and explains content well. However, he takes a lot of time on certain topics, and ends up not following the schedule compared to the syllabus. Quizzes are basically based on what we go over in class. But some questions on the exams are based on chapters we have not gone over in class - make sure to look on the syllabus and complete the textbook readings since they aren't really covered in class. He does take a while to grade assignments and feedback. |

This class/professor may be for some people, but I found this class painful to be apart of. While the concepts are relatively simple, and the material is not too bad, I can't stand the way he teaches or the way the course has been structured. Your entire grade is based on in-class exam grades, there is no cheating your way into a good grade. Some people may find his lectures entertaining, he is pretty enthusiastic and engaging, I will give him credit for that, but I personally hated them. He goes ON and ON about certain things and speeds through other slides so quick you don't have time to even write down what they say. He pounds your head in every class trying to drill home some of the most basic concepts. Not to mention, its a crime were not allowed to take notes on computers, especially when I physically can't write as fast as I type. It's the end of the semester and we completely missed 2 chapters and an entire quiz (5% of our grade). He has yet to even explain himself. He has nothing to grade (auto-grades in canvas), and doesn't even hold in person office hours- it exudes a lazy attitude. I actually met with him once outside of class and he comes off very self-centered and narcissistic. He asks you questions about your major and what I want to do but took very little interest in my actual answer and ended up interrupting me to talk over me. He's a nice guy I guess. He wont be rude or lack empathy, I just don't like him. I'm sure I'm not alone on this one. Not to mention the man teaches straight from the textbook. If he had an accurate course schedule and no participation grade, I would never go to class. I can teach my self a chapter in an hour that takes him a month to get through. I rarely consider the cost of my education in terms of classes, but this genuinely felt like a waste of my money. I wish I had picked a different elective. |

This is a great class content-wise, it's useful for pretty much all majors and it's not super difficult to understand concepts. Exam questions are very different from quiz questions and the exams are difficult to understand. The wording of exam questions is pretty confusing. He does extra credit in the form of optional class presentations. Not all sections are at the same pace so you should try to go to your section only. If you miss class, it is difficult to catch back up. The textbook is hardly used and very lengthy. Everything we learn is in his presentations which are based on the textbook but he doesn't post the ppt on Canvas. Professor is very bad with technology, be prepared to wait months for grades to be posted and last minute assignments. For example, at home quizzes are only available for 24 hours but they are only 5 questions. Our section 0201 is way behind the syllabus like 4 classes behind due to him explaining every slide for 5 minutes. He tries to include everyone and ask the class questions so you won't be bored or fall asleep. He is overall a great guy and very passionate about what he teaches. He's also willing to network with students and provide you with professional opportunities if you ask. There is no writing assignments in the class, he hates reading essays and short answers so exams and quizzes are all multiple choice. That being said, our section was the first to use VR headsets as an additional module so we had to write warehousing reports almost every week, which he slowly grades. My group didn't really like the VR module though because it was completely outside of class and didn't tie in with class material well. |

I really enjoyed this class, as stressful as it was. Professor Coronado is funny, engaging, and knows supply chain management inside and out. My best advice is read the chapters slowly and carefully, and utilize quizlet for all the terminology (there are already quizlets made for this specific class). Another thing: watch out for the quizzes. Each point counts, so make sure you know what material will be covered and make sure you know it well. The class becomes super engaging after the first couple weeks; conversations about current supply chain developments and course material were interesting and useful. Professor Coronado is a great, really friendly guy who cares about his students—he constantly reminded us that he is willing to help out with any questions, whether it is about class/connections/careers/etc. Some of his quiz questions could sway to one answer or another, but he encourages you to email him and argue for your answer choice to try to get your points back. Also, book the extra credit presentations early. Spots will fill up quickly, and I'd recommend presenting at least once in each half of the semester so that you have some level of comfort going into the exams. |

The previous review is a bit harsh but it is a situation where it is an easy class with lots and lots of concepts/topics that only have quizzes and exams as your grade. The topics/concepts are honestly very very basic and easy, the problem is that the professor goes on forever about them. His philosophy is that he drills the concepts in your head till you honestly do not need to study that hard to do well on the quizzes. But the problem is that he repeats things constantly and it is very hard to stay motivated and pay attention to class. His quizzes are also recycled and are mostly on Quizlet so you can study for those before going to class as prep. Though, some questions are a bit tricky and do not genuinely test the students' understanding (strange wording and some "kinda right" answers to trick you). He claims that you can earn the grade you want in the class by signing up for presentations (15 min ones you present to the class) but he is kind of slow on answering emails and queues you weirdly with the other students who are desperately trying to up their grades. I also feel like he favors some supply chain major students more which can be unfair if you are trying to sign up presentations and you can get bumped down. I really do not see the reason to go to class if you do read the textbook on your own time, the chapters are kind of long but the classes you go to is him basically reading textbook slides (he does not share his slides) and him verbally drilling things into you. He is a great lecturer but after sitting through it for almost an entire semester of him projecting loudly, it gets very tiring and boring. He has a no laptop policy (except when we have quizzes) and wants you to do handwritten notes (unless you have accommodations) which is his attempt in keeping your attention. I would be more ok with the class if I can type my notes and do other work because it is honestly a waste of time to sit through class. I am glad I read the textbook on my own time since he zooms through concepts or goes through the same concept for 20 minutes. I would not recommend taking him but if you need a relatively chill class and ok doing work outside of class, this class is good. I am not a supply chain major but he is good at explaining and breaking things down for you and the topic is relatively interesting if you want a taste. |

Honestly, I don't even know where to start. The professor didn't seem to fully grasp the concepts he was teaching, and the "correct" answers on his quizzes were frequently vague or blatantly wrong. I remember one question asking "Which of these is an expensive way to ship?" Answers: Freight, flight, boat. The answer was boat but wtf okay I guess. Oh yeah, and he recycles most of his quiz and exam questions from previous semesters. It's a classic situation of an easy class conceptually with lengthy and confusing multiple choice questions that make up 100% of the grade. |
