Rather easy business course. He basically just talks the whole class, the textbook is not extremely important but rather just reinforces concepts he talks about in class. The tests are made up of 5-10 terms (which can be people, events, terms, etc.) and an essay question. Overall most people end up with a B+/A-. This class is not super easy but is def. doable.

Professor Wilkerson loves to hear himself talk and never likes to agree that a student's answer is right. This class can get very boring but the information is valuable and useful to know. I would not take this class if I had to do it over but if you are business inclined then it is an easy A. Midterm was 1 essay, 10 terms, and a math problem. Similar format for the final. Just make sure to write answers for the terms not from the book definition but based on what he says in class. The midterm and test and lecture heavy. Presentation was easy so long as you sound knowledgeable about your company

This class was very informative. Prof. Wilkerson provides valuable insight on the various cultures of different countries and how they do business. End of semester group was interesting and pulled in all the concepts learned in class. GPA booster. Highly recommended.

I took this class over J-term. Even though it's a 2 week class with the material that's normally taught throughout 1 semester, I found the class to be pretty easy. Wilkerson is certainly an engaging professor with interesting lectures and stories. Even though the class wasn't hard, I still learned a lot. There is a midterm and final, as well as a group presentation.

Great class for an easy A. Lectures are a bit slow but material can be interesting especially from the book.Definitely a class to take for an easy A. Wilkerson is funny in his own way, avoid lateness and use of laptops.

This class was great. Wilkerson is really entertaining and has great stories about his life that he'll tell throughout the class.
Not much work, but attendance is required.

Prof. Wilkerson has a lot of experience and knows his stuff. I wish lectures weren't just anecdotes with a brief touch of the information from the readings but the material is fairly basic. The only reason to attend is the attendance sheet and 10% of each midterm that is only learned by attending lecture. Easy tests.

I was recommended this course as an easy 'A', but it turned out to be more interesting than I would have thought. While the focus is international, non-Comms will learn a lot about the basics of business in this course as well. I would recommend it to a friend.
