Reviews of professor Carlos Mena

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Carlos is amazing!! I would highly recommend taking him for BA339 operations & quality management. I was expecting this class to be very boring, but he made the lectures incredibly engaging and it ended up being my favorite course this term.

Carlos is the best professor i think i've ever had in my entire life. Hands down a total G. He has group projects but he dedicates and entire class period for you to work with your team and get it done.

Professor Mena is a great lecturer who really understands supply chain. Participation/attendance is important and totals to 10% of your grade. His quizzes are hard and you really need to study for them. He drops the lowest quiz score though.

A professor who is really passionate about supply chain management. He makes the class very interesting and engaging. There are 9 in-person quizzes based on lectures(drop two lowest), 2 individual case studies, 4 group projects, weekly contributions, and plenty of ECs. Make sure on individual and group projects paper you connect it to lectures.

Everyone complaining about the quizzes being too difficult are just plain wrong. I got a 100% on a vast majority of them. The group cases and individual cases constitute a majority of your grade. Both types of assignments are interesting, force you to think creatively and are graded generously; no exams are a plusbest BA339 at PSU, hands down.
