I'm definitely biased but I love Professor Prpich. He is very nice, reasonable, and approachable. This class was interesting, fun, and had a light workload. You also learn a ton of great tips about negotiations and pitching which will come in handy for interviews. In addition, Professor Prpich makes himself available and he let's you run ideas by him. I really recommend this class. We did a semester long project where we created our own startup. We did a variety of assignments for this project and had some small writing assignments. Every assignment is graded out of 1 meaning you either satisfied the requirement or didn't. Professor Prpich provides you with a list of the assignments you need to do to get an A, B, C etc

Stupidest professor i have had in my entire career at UVA. Never taught a single thing. Has no idea what he's talking about. Should stick to chemistry. Teacher spends most of the class time talking about Canada, and doing pointless exercises irrelevant to the course material. If he even has real course material. He doesn't teach a thing. He's a failed entrepreneur teaching an entrepreneurship class. It just doesn't make sense. I haven't learned a thing in this class, except for random bullshit about the UK.
