SYS 2057

Professor Horowitz is nice man and entertaining, but this class is just not well run.Grading is very arbitrary. Homework is just unreasonably long for a 2000 level class. Grade distribution wasn't favorable. Frustrating experience for what I thought would be a GPA booster,which turned out to only hurt my GPA. Would not take again.

The structure of this class is confusing and unorganized.

So Professor Horowitz is a successful businessman with an interesting back story - but he's got no teaching skills whatsoever. He literally rambles on the entire class period, and his lecture slides have minimal content. But the professor was just the spokesperson, because everything was graded by our TA. Too bad he was a grad student that had never taken a class like this before; he was just as lost as we were sometimes.

Grading is very subjective. The midterm and final were hard and impossible to finish within the 1.5hr time period. The final project is torturous, so I'd start brainstorming e-business ideas as soon as possible. Overall, this class sucked. It was boring and I was on Twitter the whole time. Don't take it unless you have to, okay? Just don't.
