Very kind and thoughtful man. The class is hard but he really wants you to succeed. I really enjoyed learning the content and when I didn't understand he was more than willing to help. he sets students up for success by providing lots of resources. overall caring man who wants you to learn.

I love Professor Skimmyhorn! I was worried at first because of his bad ratings, but there are so far off. He gets a really bad rap simply because most students don't put in any work. If you do the homework you will do fine. He truly cares about the students even beyond the classroom. He has plenty of office hours and is always really helpful.

Prof Skimmyhorn is well intended and designed an interesting course, although your grade is based off of 4x small papers, 1x individual project, and participation, all of which are fairly subjective. I was shocked by his assessment of some of my peers relative to their performance. He rewards office hour attendance and has clear favorites.

Such an interesting class! Definitely a lot of work, but if you go to every class and stay on top of everything, it is definitely manageable. The first quiz was pretty hard and the averages were low, but there's generally an upwards trend for each quiz. Skimmyhorn is super sweet and cares about his students so much as well!

I took his class in Spring 2023 and was shocked that such a poor professor exists in the business school. He's extremely biased when it comes to grading, giving high scores to people he likes. If he doesn't like you, God bless you. This is ungodly unfair, and the dean should be made aware of this

If you have to take BUAD 323, take it with Skimmyhorn. Go to his office hours, ask questions, and participate. For the final study for about 30-40 hours (no joke), and you should be fine. He's very intelligent and cares a lot about the class as well as your success; he just wants to see that you care. Good luck! Y'all got this!
