Very grounded professor who tailors the class to real-world applications that actually resonate with students. This isn't a traditional lecture class as he's enthusiastic, engaging, and genuinely wants everyone to succeed. He's very approachable and helpful if you talk to him. Only downside is the textbook cost ($100), which feels a bit overpriced.

Mark was a really cool professor. The tests and jeopardy can be overwhelming sometimes, but he is there to see you succeed and will help you if you simply ask for it. Overall, a really fun experience. He does NFL in the fall, NBA in the winter and MLB in the spring. So keep in mind which kind of team you want to create per quarter.

Professor Orlando is a great professor and has great public speaking skills. His class is fairly easy as long as you and your group work together on projects and the tests. I really enjoyed his class since he not only talked about Sport Administration but also gave us really good lectures on life and career skills that are important for success

Unnecessarily rambles off topic a lot of the time. Wouldnt take it unless you really needed the credits

This is the 2nd class I've taken with Mark and I genuinely enjoyed it so much. The content is really interesting and the class is engaging. The basis of the class is creating an NBA franchise and arena. It was fun and a very doable class, easy to get an A if you show up and do the work.
