While the class is quite long, it is very informative. This is great for anyone who wants to expand their business knowledge and get the tmp certificate later. The prof gives out a lot of internship opportunities, but you have to be the one to put in the work to actually get them. Quizzes are kind of hard if you don't read, so def read!

I took this class as a last minute elective and I am so glad I did. Greathouse is an amazing professor and his lectures display his passion and love for his students and material. Course content was 9 weekly quizzes based off readings/lecture and then a few other easy writing assignments. He also offers a ton of extra credit.

If you're looking at all these reviews wondering if a professor could possibly be this great, I'm happy to announce it's true! Professor Greathouse will seriously change your life, offering you incredible opportunities and internship experience. This class was probably the best preparation for the real world and I recommend it to anyone interested!

John Greathouse is a gem of a professor. He treats teaching like a passion project - he invests a lot of time into recruiting amazing speakers and putting together presentations that truly captivate and educate his students. I wish I had known about him earlier in my college career because attending his class is not a chore.

Take this class if you want to learn about a different path. I took both the sales course and the Entreprenuership courses. John is inspirational and thanks to him Im on the path to earning seven figure income in the world of enterprise SaaS sales. Thank you professor Greathouse!!!!

Greathouse was the reason why I turned to the tech industry. His classes were the only classes I never missed in college, and this was because I always left learning something interesting and applicable. I still use his teachings today and his courses made college feel worth it. Highly recommend if you're interested in people, business, or tech.

As a renowned professional in the tech industry, John teaches valuable lectures that draw from his real-world experiences. Aside from teaching some of the most engaging courses I have ever taken, John also was happy to connect me with his contacts on numerous occasions. I appreciate and admire his generosity and willingness to help his students.

Professor Greathouse is very generous with his time and connections. He genuinely wants his students to succeed and will help them outside of the classroom to achieve their career goals. I would highly recommend taking his classes and connecting with him outside of the classroom.

Professor Greathouse has so much passion for helping students thrive. You can tell through his lectures and also in office hours. He also has so much real-world experience that rounds out his teaching and provides an education that you don't want to miss out.

Great lecturer and one of the best ppl I've come across. Insights from decades of entrepreneurial experience. John really inspired my business thinking. GO to office hours. You can ask about ANYTHING or just sit and listen, he always has an open ear, gives thoughtful advice, cares about his students, helps wherever he can! 11/10 recommend!

If you like business- you have to take any of the courses John offers. He is extremely wise and accomplished, but takes the time to really help his students out in office hours and beyond. Even after leaving UCSB, John was able to help me learn, network, and get publications to write on the startup I'm working at. Easily my favorite teacher at UCSB
