Inconsistent, arbitrary grading, stupid movie clips, expects you to learn his ideas and phrasing and spout them back to him. You are not going to learn anything,

Although Loren is very passionate about the class and keeps lecture very interesting and entertaining, his tests cover very subjective material. Prepare to be extremely frustrated.

Loren is by far the worst professor i have ever had the displeasure to take a course with. the material should be easy and straightforward, but his test questions are completely subjective and often barely related to course material. don't take this class for your own sake

Online is a lot of busy work and writing. Weekly Tuesday and Friday posts that only take ten minutes a piece. Super long written midterm and final (3500 words each) and two obnoxious simulations that are super repetitive. No group project hence the simulations. So if you like answering unclear questions, take it online.

straight up dic...tator. nuff said. but seriously take this class online b/c you HAVE to take it for business school. its a lot of work but its easier to get a good grade. and if u have kooz there are still insights to be drawn from what he says and that can be properly applied in work settings

A professor with bad teaching style and jokes that are funny only to him. "In-Class Examples" make me cringe. Textbook is almost useless except for a few exam questions. Frustrating semester-long project. An unenjoyable experience; an entry-level course?! Not even close.

Currently taking this course online. It sucks. Midterm and final are essentially 2500 and 3500 word research essays. Two other projects add another 5500 words. Plus you have 500 additional words due for weekly homework. In total, around 19,000 words. For a business course. Way too much work for an intro level course. Avoid this class if you can.

This may have been the worst class I have taken in my academic career (BA & MBA). Loren is incompetent, long winded, and completely out of touch with Management Consulting. I did not find a single thing useful in the entire class. My advice if the topic is interesting to you? Read a book, pick up an academic journal. Just don't take this class!

Loren loves to laugh at himself, but isn't as funny as he thinks he is. Lectures are okay with interesting movie clips mixed in. Exams are exhausting, you will need every SECOND to finish, but they are not terribly surprising. The project is completely stupid and the groups are too big. The TAs had no idea what Loren's expectations ever were.

The ONLINE class is a ton of work. Two exams and two giant simulations that take a HUGE amount of time. You will not do well if you do not explicitly use the words "As the [insert name of lecture here] states..." at some point in every single question you answer for this course. Take this class elsewhere if you can.

He was one of my favorite professors I've ever had in terms of his teaching style. However, considering I took this class for a grade he was one of the most horrible professors I've ever had. Just like everyone else said, you have to read his mind for the exams which is ridiculous. PXA project is pointless. TA was helpless. Exams were ridiculous.

This was the worst professor I've had in the business schools. Tries to take a subjective topic and make it objective. Exams are horribly graded and even if he admits it won't change it. You will only do good if you think exactly like him. This class makes me be ashamed of the business school. Take this class over a break online at UW-Whitewater

hard to grade how easy it is. Amount of work is pretty low and easy BUT its the exams that suck. the questions are unclear and honestly opinion based, unless you think exactly like him you're screwed. You can know everything yet only get a low B on the exams because the questions are so poorly written.

DO NOT TAKE LOREN KUZUHARA's MHR300 ONLINE CLASS!!!!!.....This class has around 1 cited page a week due along with 4 papers all of which are 8-12 page cited works and hundreds of pages of reading material. Bottom Line this class will make your other classes suffer! It requires around 20 hours of work a week. This should be a 6 credit course.

MHR 300 pretty much sucks...regardless of what he says you do need to memorize a TON of lists and then know how to apply them in case situations. Questions are extremely subjective and can honestly have multiple answers, sometimes it's just a matter of guessing his opinion/answer. If you have the lists and do what he says for the project, it's ok

the number one thing to remember about OB is that it is common sense.

Tests on stupid details. Claims that the class is not about lists, but then a list of the lists you'll need to know for the final is a page and a half long. Doesn't come up with his own material, just uses useless models that others have come up with

He gives way too much material that is "fair game" for the exam and only tests on a couple stuff. He makes you read random WSJ articles and watch videos from CEOs lectures to friends. VERY poorly constructed class. MHR 300 is definitely a joke..

You will like him the first day and then hate him the rest of the semester and not because the class is hard.

Exams tested on random facts from lecture and assigned textbook readings. Textbook readings were about 10-15 pgs/ch. and only 2-3 questions on a 30 question exam. So if you don't do the reading you're punished enough to lower you a letter grade. I'm doing really well in this class, but I have never hated a class so much. Take online if you can.
