Reviews of professor Pierre Balthazard

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I am grateful for the new knowledge that I gained after finishing his class. I will definitely use what I've learned in the real world. He is a Professor with an exceptional experience. He gave great feedback and always open to questions. His tests are hard, so get ready for hard work. Honored to have been taught by a Professor of his caliber!

Pay attention for the grammar lessons. That was the most difficult part of the course for many students. Material is common sense if you read over the files he uploads. One 10-15 minuet group presentation-- it was not hard at all; you pick the topic. 3 tests. Not cumulative.

Professor Balthazard is not a very good communicator about his grading or "theory" units. He barely covers them in class and is extremely test heavy... Says one thing about what to study for, then tests on other topics not previously discussed. I'm a straight A student and found it extremely hard to navigate his course, period... Not satisfied.

Exams are very hard and confusing. Lectures are boring and not helpful. Even the study guide is not helpful.

Balthazard is very knowledgeable about the subject and he is available during office hours, and incredibly understanding. make sure you do all the homework and i suggest having him look over it before turning it in. He gives a study guide for his tests; however, they are not so helpful.

He's a very smart man, with many life experiences relating to the class lectures. The downside is he talks about these experiences more than teaching the materials during class lectures. 5 case study, and 1 term paper (10 pages) with the option to work on it yourself or with a group. He provides study guide, but it doesn't help much on the test.

Professor Balthazard is a great speaker and communicator. He makes class enjoyable by sharing personal stories. However, the subject itself is boring. The tests were lightweight difficult because the study guides didn't align. The grammar portion was everyone's downfall. Make sure to do all 4 HW assignments, they help boost your grade.

Brilliant man. Knows his stuff. Has lived the life that makes him a great HR prof. At first, his lectures were inspiring, but after a while they got a bit long and drawn out. Hard to retain the information. Doesn't allow cheat sheet and exams are tough. Still, overall fun class and I enjoyed the writing assignments. 6 short case studies, one paper.

I didn't learn anything new from lectures. Don't buy the book. This class is basically common sense. Very boring and monotone professor.

The three exams were so difficult and there was little to zero test prep. Provided no study guide or discussion for final exam. The exams were very confusing, and material was very abstract. This class made me disinterested in communications. His grading was also very weird.
