Best professor i've had. Yes there are assignments almost every day but they really only take about 30 min. to do everything (including the quiz). The class is actually interesting and coming from a guy that rarely pays attention in any class, that's saying a lot.
I emailed him the 3rd day of class with questions about his syllabus...he took it personally and told me to "drop the accusatory tone". The hybrid winterim class is filled with work. In the 15 day or so period, you have to write 8 papers based on 10 page cases studies, make 3 discussion articles for each case, and take a quiz on each of the 8 chapters. Quizzes are 21 questions and difficult to locate in the book. He is an extremely difficult grader and leaves short pointless feedback on assignments. I'm a fairly good student and i'm easy to please when it comes to professors...this man is the worst professor I've ever had. I would highly suggest not taking him

Worst professors I've ever had!
Very good professor. In the beginning of the class the expectations were not clear but after a couple of weeks it became clear. Class participation is very important (30% of your grade)! Overall, very interesting class, and easy professor!

Negative:
From the first day of class Jeff will tell you that the class requires a lot of time and effort. He encourages people to drop the class if they dont think that they can handle it. I'm so glad that I did not drop the class! There are no tests, just papers that you can incorporate into your final business plan. I bought business plan pro (software) and it walked me through the business plan step by step and we ended up getting an A on it. I HIGHLY recommend Jeff if you dont want another professor who just reads off powerpoint and doesn't involve the class.

Negative:
The class is useless and is way to demanding. It requires a lot of time that most of us don't have. The business at the end of the class took hours to create that I just barely had. No one learned much from the class about being an entreprenuer. It just stressed every one out. Jeff is a cool guy, though, and cannot be blamed for everything that is wrong with the class.
