Mark Wellman BMGT289J Anonymous 12/19/2021	The pedestal some students put him on is bewildering. Wellman masks his rudeness with arrogance, and his “reputation.” He assigns an personal reflection that is 13 pages single spaced, heavy emphasis on personal. He does not understand the word “personal” as he has specific ideas about what should be included. He and his TA play favorites too. He also cannot use proper grammar but let a student makes the same mistake, he would not read your paper and then criticize you for not being proper. He’s an arrogant and hypocritical professor.
Mark Wellman BMGT289J Anonymous 12/16/2021	The expectations Dr. Wellman has for his students are unreasonable and the workload is way too much. Dr. Wellman is very specific about page/word count and I often find myself repeating the same ideas just to fill up to the page count. You're expected to read tons of articles every week and write long reflections after them. The class itself is extremely boring as Dr. Wellman just lectures off of his slides. Worst of all, on exams, he expects you to know very specific details from the huge pile of readings or modules that you have read from the past months and he refuses to curve the grades when the whole class did poorly on the exams. Definitely do not recommend.
Mark Wellman BMGT289J Anonymous 12/11/2021	The worst class offered here at UMD. His subpar teaching along with the heavy amount of work leave students feeling overworked. This is class is offered to first years in a program. For what it is, Dr. Wellman had way too high of an expectation for first years who are taking this in the first semester. He has no empathy and would be passive aggressive to students. The lectures were long and hard to listen to. All he does is sit and read off the slides. The TA doesn’t even help because he is late majority of the time. This class has been a waste of time and nothing valuable came out of it. Dr. Wellman assigns busy work but massive amounts of it.
Mark Wellman BMGT289J Expecting a B+ Anonymous 12/09/2021	Dr. Wellman is very disorganized and has his TA grade most of his assignments. Even if you work very hard in his class and take notes on all the articles and all the modules and pay attention in class, you can still do very badly on his midterm (which he does not curve by the way). The average was a 60% and dropped grades significantly (this was the difference between this year and the previous year). There was no reason to test on 20 articles where we had to point out specifically what one specific "stakeholder" said. I tried to turbocharge my decision making on this test but ultimately it did not serve me well. All in all, would not take Dr. Wellman again.
Mark Wellman BMGT289J Anonymous 11/14/2021	Dr. Wellman's class has an extreme and disorganized workload. The class consists of multiple "simulations" and subsequent "reflections" and, if it is a group project, "evaluations." The timelines of all of these projects overlap heavily, causing students to have several concurrent simulation projects and papers at once. Every week, there is a discussion post due on Wednesday, in which he assigns a module from the textbook and numerous articles and/or videos for you to go through and then answer several questions about. It is clear that these resources are what he considers to be the "meat" of the class. For our class, he gave a midterm that was extremely specific based on readings, articles, and modules that he assigned. The specifics went down into quotes from specific people in one of the countless articles that he assigned to read. The class in and of itself is extremely hard to pay attention to as his in-class examples are vague, long, and rather droning. The TA is also absolutely worthless, is always late, has a bad attitude in class, and generally is extremely unhelpful. Overall, I would not recommend taking this class, as I find it to be more work than it is worth and generally there is not a lot of learning accomplished in it.
Mark Wellman BMGT289B Expecting an A Anonymous 10/13/2021	Dr. Wellman is very unorganized. There were a lot of readings and if you do not read, you will fall behind. His class itself is boring and he does not teach like other professors. The concepts learned are through readings rather than lectures. He grades pretty harshly and overall is not the best class to be in. It is not hard to contact and communicate with Dr. Wellman and the TA, but the class itself does not make sense. The substance he teaches is hard to pick up on and some lessons don't even relate to being an innovator.
Mark Wellman BMGT289B Expecting an A- Anonymous 05/21/2021	I'm not sure how this class is run in person, but it was very frustrating virtually. Dr. Wellman knew what he was talking about, but he was not organized. There was a weekly reading schedule posted, but Wellman began the semester going over the assignments. Then he stopped being sending reminders on time and sent reminders a day or two before they were due. Dr. Wellman and the TA were difficult to contact during the semester, so it was a hit or miss with them. The class met once a week, and Dr. Wellman assigned a TON of reading to do. There were barely any reading quizzes which was nice but if you did not do the readings, you will fall behind. There were required speakers throughout the semester, which Dr. Wellman did not really share until a day or so before, again unorganized. However, if you stay on top of the work and do the readings, they grade lightly and should get an A. The assignments are annoying but the requirements are stated and straightforward. The content is very useful and applicable, and it is worth going through in the long run.
Mark Wellman BMGT289B Expecting an A Anonymous 05/13/2021	THIS IS THE WORST CLASS OFFERED AT UMD. Professor Wellman is so unorganized and clearly makes up random assignments 2 minutes before class. He gives so many busy work assignments that take so long to complete. You have to attend 7 outside events which is nearly impossible to do since he only offers around 10, and all of them are around 6 pm on Mondays or Thursdays. The end of the year assignment is a 13 page SINGLE SPACED paper talking about what you learned in this class, which was nearly impossible to do since we learned nothing of substance. He also grades things so aggressively and has no right doing so. Do not take this class if you want to enjoy school.
Mark Wellman BMGT289J Expecting an A rrex 12/18/2020	Dr. Wellman is a caring professor who wants his students to succeed. That said, he gives a lot of work to help his students learn as much as possible, and this can become a bit repetitive at times in my opinion. The class itself is a study of leadership and good leadership practices, and the many simulations we completed allowed the application of material that we learned. It is one of the first semester classes for the BSE Scholars program, and were I not in the program I wouldn't have taken the class, but I am glad that I did for the experience.
Mark Wellman BMGT289B Expecting an A maxwellrgodwin 08/27/2020	BMGT-289b is the best class at UMD. The course is challenging and you will need to manage your time effectively to complete assignments during the semester. Dr. Mark Wellman is the premier professor at UMD and his teaching style brings out the best in engaged students. The course covers a wide range of material and you will get out what you put in. BMGT-289b promotes individual reflection and growth as you learn best practices from some of the best innovators our world has ever seen. A couple of my favorite memories from the course were the unit on design thinking and the Iliad Assessment exercise. I highly recommend BMGT-289b to all students at UMD.
Mark Wellman BMGT466 Expecting an A Anonymous 06/28/2020	I took Wellman's class in Fall of 2018 and can say without a doubt that is shaped my career choice, when I graduated that December, for the better. Wellman focuses on bringing relevant, well-connected speakers to the classroom. If taken seriously, the speakers (and the information they share) can be priceless connections. I have used examples from these speakers during critical interviews and have used the business assessment we took to demonstrate to my current company my ability to perform under high stress situations. I highly, highly advise taking this course!
Mark Wellman BMGT289B Expecting an A+ Anonymous 03/05/2019	This was definitely a hard class, but I think it could be one of the most important ones you take in your college career. Some of the assignments are strange such as having to go to DC or partake in design thinking sessions, but if you have the right attitude for these kinds of activities, you will learn a lot of valuable skills that you can apply anywhere. I currently do CS research at UMD partially because I was told to try something crazy as a part of this course. Whenever I start a new project, I think back to this class and try to think about any way I can make my user's life easier. There are a lot of readings for this class, but it has taught me skills such as "always showing up to a meeting with a prototype" that allow me to stand out wherever I go. Mark Wellman will really work with you if you have some kind of idea or need assistance with something. He took my entire class to go see a Cirque du Soleil show for free and even wrote my recommendation letter. Remarkable professor.
Mark Wellman BMGT289B Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/17/2018	This guy's BSE Scholars class is a complete joke. He makes no contribution to class and does not teach actual material. The midterm is strict memorization from books and this was the most useless class I've ever taken in my life. He tries to rank students and the bottom 20% sits in the front as a form of humiliation. Terrible professor, highly do NOT recommend Wellman.
Mark Wellman BMGT289B Expecting an A pangloss 10/23/2016	Got an A in this guy's class but it was a terrible class. Others mention that he assigns class times that he says are listed on testudo but are not... this is totally true. He is obsessed with making the class the "level of work" required for a 3 credit class and he went well over that and made it a ridiculous class. 50 page reflection paper at the end. This was by far my least favorite class I have taken at UMD.
Mark Wellman BMGT289B Expecting an A cjohns28 10/31/2015	Worst professor ever. Assigns extra class times that were clearly not labeled in the syllabus or in the class times. He claims it was written on testudo, but that is a fallacy. He assigns too much busy work. Instead of meaningful work that teaches you how innovators think, he is obsessed with making the class as much work as a 3 credit class "should be".
Mark Wellman Expecting a -A deans 12/27/2013	This is a 1 credit course, its not going to meet all the time and its not that hard thats why its 1 credit. Here is what you do to get an A: go to the required speakers (5), read the book Startup of You, go to class. I actually do not think he graded our take-home final, it was never submitted to elms!
Mark Wellman Expecting an A Anonymous 12/30/2012	Easy A Class. It's only a few short reflections and attendance at lectures (recorded by reflection sheets done while at lecture). These lectures are done by guest speakers. E.g. GE LDP and Goodwill CEO. Very interesting lectures. Be careful though, make sure you attend all the lectures required, there are make up lectures but you are required to have a set # of lectures a semester or else you get a 0 for some of them. At the end of the semester (there is like 135 pts total), he all the sudden adds like an additional 70 points worth of assignments to help people who skipped a lecture. There is no excuse for you not to get an A.
Mark Wellman BMGT289I Expecting an A Anonymous 01/27/2012	Very good professor, very tough course. Dr. Wellman is really into business and management and he teaches the material with a lot of enthusiasm. Some of the lectures get a bit boring but overall they're interesting. As others have said, there are the "one minute memos" at each lecture which add up to quite a lot of points, so make sure you go to class. There were two special projects/assignments we had to do which also made a big part of our grade, but they were pretty easy to do. The exams were the only very hard part of this class. The multiple choice questions are incredibly specific and you definitely need to study your ass off to do well on them.
Mark Wellman BMGT289I Expecting an A Anonymous 12/13/2011	I usually don't even bother to fill out the course evaluations for UMD, but I feel the need to give a review for Professor Wellman. Simply put he is one of the best professors that I have experienced so far at UMD, he truly cares about both his students and his class. You will likely learn more from this class than all your other classes combined. Why do I say this? Because everything you learn from this class is applicable to both your life as a student and more so how to be successful once your out in the real world job market. Understanding what it takes to be successful and what the difference is between unsuccessful and successful companies may sound boring, but Wellman makes it one of the most interesting topics at this school. His ability to tie in current events with his class is excellent and keeps you interested in the class. Trust me, this should be a required class before everyone graduates! The out of class assignments are actually useful and don't simply seem like the professor has you do it so they can give you a grade. These assignments are actually interesting and helpful. Professor Wellman is extremely easy to talk to, teaches an excellent class, and gives you real world knowledge that is more useful than almost everything else you will learn at this university. Take this class with Professor Wellman, you won't regret it!
Mark Wellman BMGT289I Expecting an A Lunar01 12/02/2011	The class is very interesting so even if you are not a business major, you should still take it. Professor Wellman is one of the few outstanding professors I have encountered in the years I have been here. Lectures attendance is mandatory because you will be doing a small review of the lecture called "one minute memo" and turn them in at the end of class for points. If you miss more than 4 memos, you will be REQUIRED to take a VERY HARD final exam. Personally I did not have to take it but judging from the difficulty of the midterm, it is not a bluff. However, lectures and exams are not the only things in this class. The professor does try to expose students new concepts and ideas by actually making us do it. One of those you should be aware is that you will be required to do something called Iliad Assessment, where you have to go through a day as a corporate executive. The assessment include giving a presentation, working on memos, and participate in meetings. Afterward you will be given results and write a development plan for it. Another one is an online management simulation where you are trying to get people to adopt the initiative. It's not as hard as it sounds, it's really more like a game. You just have to write reviews and analysis of the simulation afterward. One thing I really like is that he tries to stay on current business events. With the passing of Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple, the professor assigned the biography of Steve Jobs as our reading assignment. It's actually a great book so I read it anyway. As long as you come to lectures and do all the assignments and projects, you will get an A. I highly recommend this class for both the information and the experience.
Mark Wellman BMGT289I Expecting an A Itzahckret 11/22/2011	Professor Wellman is one of the best professors I have ever had. Some people do not like his class because he makes you do one minute memos everyday, but I love them, they allow me to follow the lecture and get lots of easy points! His tests are hard but you can get C's on them and still get an A in the class if you do everything else. I have learned so much from his class, I actually look forward to going because his lectures are really interesting and he is an excellent speaker. All in all I would highly recommend taking a course with Wellman as the professor.
Mark Wellman BMGT289I Expecting an A- motariq1991 05/25/2011	Professor Wellman is a good professor in the sense that he has been in the business school for a long time and therefore has created strong relationships with other faculty and staff. His teaching style is the only thing that prevents me from giving him a 5 star rating. Although, he knows the material very well, it seemed like he wasn't delivering it effectively. Maybe it was because our class was a 3 hour evening class. Overall, this class wasn't too hard. There were very thick packets that he gave out which I never read and still managed to pull away with an A-. Exams were really tricky. The best way to do well on the exams is by reading the power point slides several times and paying attention when he plays the video clips in class about current events. He also gave out extra credit several times in class which definitely helped out. I definitely recommend taking this class.
Mark Wellman BMGT364 Expecting an A rkshipper 02/12/2011	Professor Wellman in my opinion is one of the best professors in the Smith School-He really knows how to teach and keeps his students engaged in the class. He's also a cool guy since he allows flexibility in doing classes whichever time you want despite the section you are registered for. I was registered for the 9:30am class but attended the 12:30 one throughout the entire semester (other than on the test days). The breakdown of his class: Inclass assignments every class(which are really there for participation points)-(it's like taking notes in class) Illiad Assessment A simulation 2 exams The final is comprehensive and you don't need to take it if u don't miss more than 4 classes-and that shouldn't be a problem since his classes are so interesting that you wouldn't wanna miss them. His tests are freaking easy-i only studied his powerpoints and never read the book other than the first chapter(the book seems interesting though). I don't think I studied more than 2 hours right b4 the exam and did pretty fair on the exams. If only I had studied a lil more I wouldve gotten a B on both exams and that wouldve been enuf for me to get an A in the class. I missed an A by 2% but I thought that was fair given the amount of work I put in for the class. Really interesting&easy class-great professor-the only thing is that Fall2010 was his last term for teaching bmgt 364:( He did say he was going to be teaching 364H though.
Mark Wellman BMGT364 Expecting a B Anonymous 01/21/2011	The class was alright. You don't learn much about management. Wellman makes you go to every class, but 4 of them. TESTS are ridiculous!! I cannot stress that enough. You need to know every minute detail that are in the videos in order to succeed. DON'T BUY THE BOOK: YOU WILL NOT NEED IT! It is not a thinking test...it is pure memorization. Given this, half of the class does get As because of the other assignments throughout the semester. MAKE SURE TO TAKE EACH ONE SERIOUSLY. They will make or break your grade. Wellman doesn't truly care about any student in the class. He is slow to answer e-mails and very unresponsive at times. Luckily, there are other teachers to take besides him. He is not recommended. It is possible to do well in the class, but you will not get anything out of it.
Mark Wellman BMGT364 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/22/2010	Overall a really interesting class. Can't stress how important it is to pay serious attention, because small details can come up on the test. You don't need the book at all, I never once looked at mine and I still got an A in the class... When studying for the exams, rewatch any videos you're unfamiliar with, they are fairgame for exam essays Great teacher overall, but terrible about getting grades back quickly. Make sure you know where your grades are coming from, there was an inclass assignment that was graded for accuracy and most people didn't realize it would be
Mark Wellman BMGT364 Anonymous 12/14/2010	This is the one class that you truly should go to every class. Not to say the content is overly important, but you are graded on attendance. If you go to every class, you'll get about 23% of your overall grade for free and about 2% extra credit, PLUS you won't have to take the final. The tests are challenging especially if you don't take additional notes during the lectures. I made the mistake of just answering the in-class questions thinking that would be sufficient. You do have to do a lot of additional stuff, like a three hour business competency assessment and a group simulation project, but those are fairly painless. Overall, Wellman was a good enough Professor. I fell asleep every class but that was more due to it being at 9:30am because the videos he shows every class are pretty interesting.
Mark Wellman BMGT364N Expecting an A Anonymous 05/23/2010	Wellman is a brilliant, fun, and interesting man and teacher. He legitimately cares about his students and has funny little quirks that end up being endearing. His exams are pretty rough, you really have to remember everything you cover so if you have a good memory you'll be fine, but if you're a person that has to learn through repetition or comprehension start studying early. Don't expect an A, but DO EXPECT TO COME OUT FEELING LIKE YOUVE TAKEN SOMETHING FROM THE CLASS. I've definitely learned more from this class than most of my other SEMESTERS as a whole.
Mark Wellman BMGT364 Expecting an A- Luminaire 05/22/2010	This guy is a great lecturer who shows a lot of interesting videos in class. There are in class assignments worth points, and a discussion section you should go to. Exams are very challenging. There are going to be a lot of multiple choice questions that make you think "lol what?" He offers 8 extra credit points in a semester, and you do need them. I got an A by 0.3 points, but i did average a C on exams. On a side note, this guy is really wordy. His syllabus is really long. Wellman is a nice guy though. You are exempted from his final if you miss 4 or less classes. Don't take his final. Its 150 MC and several essays in 2 hours. Punishment for people who skip class
Mark Wellman BMGT364 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/09/2010	This was an amazing class. He is a really cool guy and shows lots of videos in class. The videos really make the class interesting. I suggest going to every class because the information on the videos will be on the exams.
Mark Wellman BMGT364 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/23/2009	I don't work that hard, and I got an A in this class. Here's how: GO TO CLASS. The tests are challenging, so you need those clicker points. I found Wellman to be a boring dude, but the videos that he shows are interesting, so try to get into them, they will show up on the exams. The class is ALL memorization, so if you have trouble with that, don't wait until the last second to study everything - its a lot of info. I didn't have the textbook, I don't think anybody did, but after I took the exam I looked through a friends and realized that it had A LOT of relevent info in there. What a surprise, the textbook might help you.
Mark Wellman BMGT364 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/23/2009	This course is academically rigorous. Wellman is a fair grader but his tests are miserable. However, you can easily make up for the tests with the other work in the class. Lectures are actually interesting because we watch videos instead of listening to Wellman talk the whole time. Whether it is because he is smart or too lazy to talk, I have not yet figured out - but it works out for the best either way. I could not think of a better teacher for the class.
Mark Wellman BMGT364 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/21/2009	Just received an A in this course. Gave the professor a 5 even though i thought he was not very approachable because it does what a class is intended to do: teaches you and grades you based on that knowledge. some questions on the exam were a bit tricky but as long as you attend every lecture, do the few readings (do NOT need to read from the textbook do not know anyone who did), and study for about 3-6 hours, you will do fine. I honestly don't know who studied for 20 hours (like the person who posted above me) because either you skipped allt he classes and had to cram in the notes/readings last minute or youre just a SLOW learner. Go to class, do the 1 or 2 article readings a week (less than 30 min of reading a week), and just study for 3 hours before the exam. Guaranteed A. classes were fun/interesting
Mark Wellman BMGT364 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/16/2009	Very good professor. Material is very interesting and you actually learn a lot of things that can be applied to real life. Things to note: 1) this class is by no means an easy A. you really have to study your butt off in order to do well on the two exams. (20+ hours) 2) very bad about grading. Getting grades back, TA's, and even fairness on certain things. 3) not very responsive. emails to him were addressed about 50% of the time and emails to TA's were addressed about 10% of the time. so if you have an issue with something - good luck. 4) you only go to fourfriday sections - one for team building, one for illiad, one for everest, and one for the first test (second one is in class). he understands students' want to not have friday discussions All in all, I recommend going to every class, taking a crapload of notes, studying hard for the exams, and try to get a lot out of it
Mark Wellman BMGT364 Expecting an A- Anonymous 12/15/2009	This class is interesting with good lecture content mixed in with videos. All of the content of the course is fairly interesting. The exams require extensive preparation if you do not keep up. Some of the questions come out of the pictures that he posts on the slides, so study them also. Overall for grade distributions it comes out to a 3.3 which is 41% A 52% B rest C D or F. Definately recomended.
Mark Wellman BMGT364 Expecting an A- umdterps11 05/15/2009	Wellman is a great professor. The course is interesting, lectures are entertaining, and you can tell he genuinely enjoys teaching. The one problem I had with this class were the tests. The multiple choice questions were very difficult - even on topics that I had studied over and over and knew very well, the questions were still difficult because of how they are designed and worded. Almost all the questions had "A and B" or "All of the Above" answers which, in my opinion, just make the test "tricky" and don't do a good job of testing you on how well you understand the material. Despite the problems I had with the tests, I would recommend taking this class with Wellman. I still think I will get an A in the class because I attended all the lectures and discussions. Also, don't worry too much about the Iliad or Everest assignments. They are both a good amount of work, but not tough to score well on. Take Iliad seriously, the results are helpful.
Mark Wellman BMGT364 Expecting an A Scotter 02/26/2009	Great professor. Teaches using lots of videos. Take lots of notes on lecture, you don't really need to read the book. I recommend bringing a laptop to class so you can keep up with notes. The illiad assignment is really cool because it shows you your strengths and weaknesses. Make sure you go to class every day to get your 4 points. If you go to every class he will give you some extra credit at the end of the semester. Very interesting class.
Mark Wellman BMGT364 Expecting an A ZagatForTeachers 01/29/2009	Professor Wellman is an amazing teacher. Here is my advice for the class: 1) Go to class, he gives points for attending, and he shows a lot of videos, 90% of which are pretty interesting. 2) Don't worry too much about taking notes, he posts the lectures after class. 3) Read the articles he gives you. They compile a good part of the tests. 4) Don't worry about the Illiad. Dress up, do your best, and attend the right meetings. Even if you do bad in the meetings/memos, you will get good grade for the assignment. Overall Wellman is great. I wish all classes were as interesting as his.
Mark Wellman BMGT364 Expecting an A natashkamd 12/22/2008	GO TO CLASS! The in-class assignments(basically attendance)are about 25% of your grade. NEVER sign in for your friends, he tracks your handwriting and signature lol and you'll get in major trouble. Has a group type of project and an assessment of your managerial skills which sucks. 2 exams(50% of total grade) , mc and essays, do read the articles, the exam is prolly 70% based on them. The good thing is that if you average B on the exams, you get an A in the class. Final is optional if you missed less than 3 classes. Class is ok actually, lots of videos, pretty interesting at times. I learned a lot about real companies not just boring manag theory.
Mark Wellman BMGT364 Expecting an A fruitchaat 12/04/2008	I didn't like him at first, but by the end of the semester I really did enjoy his class. Don't be fooled by the 2-hour discussion, you never have to go to a 2-hour discussion the entire semester. Rather there are three project: challenge course, everest ,and iliad, that you have to do outside of lecture time and those count for the hours you would have spent in discussion instead. The class is pretty straightforward. You go to lecture take notes on the videos, so the in class assignment, and you'll be set for the exam. He puts up all his slides, articles, and video transcripts on blackboard so studying for the exam is that much easier.
Mark Wellman BMGT364 Expecting an A jonesevan007 11/10/2008	Fun and engaging course. I was dreading taking a course in 'management and organization' because it sounded boring and mind-numbing but Wellman is an alright guy. As long as you go to class and, as the other reviews suggest, take religious notes on the cool videos (most taken from YouTube) like one on the pornography industry and one on Whole Foods you'll do fine. Anticipate his test questions and don't try to copy down the slides during class (he doesn't post them before class but does afterward). Don't expect to ace the exams (pulled an 88 on the first one and am happy) but there are many other assignments offered. Discussion sections are almost never held because of fun activities (like climbing the ropes course and doing a simulation of an Everest climb). The Iliad assessment is not really fun but the class itself is engaging and completely grounded in the actual business world outside the walls of the Smith School.
Mark Wellman BMGT364 Expecting an A abs9986 05/28/2008	This was one of the better business classes I have taken. I actually wanted to attend every class because I learned so much. I really enjoyed watching almost daily videos learning how other companies choose to manage their employees. I must emphasize again, I really learned alot and would highly recommend taking this class. Tests are very challenging, but the system is set up that one can get an A if you attend all the classes and do the easy assignments...even if you get low b's on the tests.
Mark Wellman BMGT364 Expecting an A Jtro 05/20/2008	He is a very nice, willing to listen to students, and doesnt say "no" to much. Lectures were mostly of ppt slides and video clips. TAs from Navy are great! Attend all lectures and discussions, points do add up! You dont have to take the final exam, get a B in both exams and do well in the activities he planned (Mt. Everest simulation & Iliad Assessment Center Activity (its 3 hrs long & $40!)
Mark Wellman BMGT364 amccurin 05/16/2008	This class was one of the best experiences of my life, though I wished that I had taken advantage of the resources there. If it's hard for you to attend class, I have one thing to say to you: MAKE AN EFFORT TO ATTEND EACH CLASS The points add up and though you may miss one and think you're okay, you'll get a C (from experience) just off of classroom points. SO GO!
Mark Wellman BMGT364 Expecting an A pluralfacade 05/15/2008	I haven't taken many business courses, but I liked Wellman's class a lot. In order to help you understand the material better, he provides interesting articles and case studies to read and keeps lecture interesting by showing videos in class. Studying for tests was easy with the slides he posted online, though the tests were challenging. This class actually teaches you stuff that you could use in real life.
Mark Wellman BMGT364N Expecting a a- Anonymous 05/04/2008	Class is made interesting by relating the text material to real life experiences and cases. Be sure to pay attention and take detailed notes on the videos because his tests can be very detailed oriented. Overall, informative class, and fair workload.
Mark Wellman BMGT364 Bubaluey 04/30/2008	Truly a fantastic lecturer. Used lots case studies. Drew on his own experience as a Smith School administrator, providing insightful and often funny anecdotes. Outside work consisted almost entirely of reading the text and case studies. Exams are pretty fair, mixed multiple choice and short essays
Mark Wellman BMGT364 Expecting a a Reawen 03/21/2008	Professor Wellman was an awesome instructor. I took 364 over winter and he made it a lot of fun. At first the 4 hour classes were rough, but he made it bearable by mixing up the class with movies, group work, Iliad assessment, lecture and a simulation. If you attend class and read the chapters, you'll be fine for the exams.
Mark Wellman BMGT364 Expecting an A Anonymous 02/19/2008	Great person and interesting topics and readings. Incredible procrastinator, and will take forever to respond to emails if at all. Plays too many videos and doesn't do enough instruction and lecture. Also, is terribly inconsistent standards of grading.
