Great class if you're looking for easy material. Two midterms and a final consisting mostly of vocabulary and the concepts repeated in the book. Only went to class for the iclicker questions and Kemp's stories. The class is mostly about memorizing information instead of focusing on concepts, but it is easy overall. Online quizzes, discussions, and problem sets take time but they are not difficult.
Either go to class, pay attention, and never touch the book, or read the book and sleep in class. There is no reason to do both since he teaches and tests DIRECTLY from the book. I chose the latter and napped, waking up for the occasional clicker question. As long as you put in the time to learn the vocab and keep up with the problem sets/quizzes/discussions, it's a pretty easy A.
Professor Kemp is incredibly kind. As he always reminded us, his "one rule is to always smile at me". That said, the class material is ridiculously easy. It's a little bit of reading, then showing up to class to get iclicker points, doing the chapter discussions and quizzes (which for each chapter, one chapter per week, take about 30 minutes if you don't get distracted by boredom). Overall, this class is not bad at all but you learn a little and its a great intro to business course.
Super easy course, the work is more along the lines of "pain in your ass" than difficult. Anyone with any sort of econ or business background will think the class is a joke. The only reason people attend lectures is because kemp uses iclickers since he just restates the book (which he wrote) in a less coherent and helpful way. 3 exams, all worth 25% of your grade, one of which is a non-cumalitive "final"
He is not going to use the iclicker anymore, so going to class will be pointless. He knows what he is talking about, but everything you need to know is in the textbook (he wrote it). I learned everything from reading the textbook and doing the chapter quizzes. You have a fair amount of work to do, but it is really easy. The problem sets can be annoying, but some help reinforce the material. Overall, it is a good class. You learn a lot, and it is not very difficult at all. Bob Kemp is a really nice guy, too.
Really boring class. I only went to lecture because we had clicker questions. Everything you need to know is on the text website. Don't be fooled into not doing work because everyone says it's an easy A. If you don't do the readings you will struggle a little. Buy the textbook online and it will make the quizzes 100 times easier. The exams are just quiz questions for the most part.
