The only reason to attend class is to get marked for attendance. Exams are pretty straightforward and pretty easy. Just read the text, look at the Wall Street Journal questions, and if you are still worried, take the practice tests from the book's website as there's normally a few questions copied and pasted from there to the exam.

Useless class. Only take if you want to go to the Comm school. Exams asked stupid minor detail like "Which Guy is in Forbes Top CEOs" or something along that line. sheesh.

The actual content of the course is interesting, but lectures can be boring. Atchison is a very nice guy but can go on tangents and doesn't seem too interested in the content. The online resources are very helpful if you look into them. Make sure to take the online practice tests before tests.

The class isn't all that interesting nor is it all that hard, but if you are looking to go to the Comm school it is a must. Just do the readings before the test and sign up for the online supplement and if you dont get higher than a b+ you shouldnt be in the Comm school anyway

This class was not at all hard, and although Mr. Atchison can sometimes run off on tangents, he's generally a pretty decent lecturer.

Dull class. Atchison is a nice guy, an his lectures are OK. It looks like he combines the powerpoints that come from the textbook Publisher with his own slides. Not the most stimulating class, but necessary as a prereq for COMM school. Test material comes straight from the book, minus Wall Street Journal assignments.

Class is VERY easy if you read the book right before the test and study the bolded words. Atchinson's lectures are kind of interesting because he goes off on tangents alot. The only problem is he takes attendance now, so you pretty much have to go to lecture. Problem sets are easy

Pretty boring and dry lecturer.

Professor Atchison is a sweet old man. He tells funny stories. Plus the curriculum is really easy.. The only downside is that attendance is required. But I would definitely recommend this class with Prof. Atchison!

Relatively easy class outlines basic business principles. Tests aren't too hard as long as you read. Atchison is a good guy and tries to make the class interesting. Every class is a powerpoint presentation and lecture which sounds bad but Atchison manages to do pretty well with it.
