BMGT301 Expecting an A- Anonymous 05/26/2011 |
I feel this class was very challenging for an introduction course to information technology. Exams were very difficult, you really have to study and know the concepts. The excel and access assignments was challenging too, but I got A+ on the both assignments. Here's a tip: get an IS major or someone who took BMGT301 to help you. With that being said, he does curve at the end. I got an 80% on the mid-term exam and 70% on the final exam and somehow managed to get an A-. |

Siva is an incredibly smart man and really knows what he is talking about when it comes to info systems. He should be teaching upper level classes instead of intro. This is not good for business school students that just want to knock out useless bmgt301. He generally can see through BS answers on exams. he makes 3 or 4 versions of his exams that are all completely different so cheating is impossible. he posts his powerpoints online so paying attention during class is not necessary. He sent around a sign-in sheet for class participation. bottom line, if you are actually interested in info systems, this is a good teacher but if you were like me and just wanted to knock out another useless core, I'd look for another teacher. |

This class was extremely challenging for an "introduction" course. Siva was very hard to understand and not very considerate of student questions or concerns. He generally teaches graduate courses and therefore has very high, unreasonable expectations for his undergraduate students. You have to attend class in order to fill in the power point slides. The quizzes and exams are exceptionally challenging. The Excel and Access assignments are nearly impossible. He makes himself available for office hours but tends to speak down upon students rather than send an approachable vibe. I highly recommend taking the course with another professor, or choosing the freshman fellows option. Otherwise, you need to constantly review the material and ask clarifying questions to earn a decent grade. |

Overall, professor Siva cares about the students. He isnt mean and tries to teach. Unfortunately, his class is terribly boring and utterly useless. He is hard to understand and does not make the course work interesting. Powerpoint slides will do instead of attendance, but tests are a little challenging. Overall, I thought it was a big waste of my time |
