Daily participation is the majority of the grade, you should try to answer as many questions as possible which can be a drag sometimes. Do the readings and go through the study guide and the exams are very straightforward. The class content is interesting and he has a wide base of knowledge from his prior experiences.

Prof. Zackrison has no method to his teaching. Group work is really painful with the wrong team and he gets a power trip from assigning unfair grades for a class that should be straightforward. Most students balance busy schedules and cannot make this class their past present and future.

Zackrison is a bit goofy (in a bad way). Not a bad professor and enforces strict attendance and participation policies. Talks way too much and tries to sound smart, though he's not. Group work can be fun or awful depending on your team. Overall, not useless, but not as helpful as a real business or econ class.

I really appreciated the structure of this class. While I am not a fan of discussion posts, especially the requirement to comment on two peers' posts, I liked that it was the only major requirement besides an easy final paper. I learned a lot throughout the course, and it was truly inspiring, leaving me with many valuable takeaways.

Meets once a week guest speaker chat 1.5-2hrs. Weekly assignments: 250 word discussion post on key takeaways from the speaker, respond to two peers by end of week. One final take-home essay reflecting on what you learned from the course. Would recommend this course heavily. Pass-fail grading only, credits pettionable to UCSB for upper-div credit.

His lectures are engaging and he's approachable after class. Case studies are fun to go through. A lot of the grade comes from group work and class participation. Some people might not like that, but I in my experience it allowed me to develop friendships with classmates. Make sure to communicate with your TA because they grade most assignments.
