Reviews of professor Martin Konan

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He grades students based on how much he likes them, lectures for hours by reading directly from the book. You would be better buying the book and doing the work on your own, Do not waste your money taking this course, or any other, with Martin Konan. He is stubborn, and autocratic.

Professor Konan is the worst professor I have ever had. His lecture notes are confusing and if you ask him questions he gets frustrated. He ignored both "care days" we had this semester and held class even though he was reminded of them by students. He is a harsh grader and very boring lecturer. Avoid him as a professor if you can.

He decided halfway through the semester that because people weren't showing up to class we should have assignments due every class on top of the already assigned textbook work, he claimed they were just like the ones we did in class but they never were and he would grade them very harshly. The tests were very very hard.

~30% of lectures were fully online last sem and he canceled ~10%. Lots of HW and Tophat questions (required to buy). Generally curves tests, gives make up tests. Doesn't respond to email, encourages students to text/call. Style helpful for theory courses; hard to get confused if you are listening and engaged. Would NOT suggest for electives.

The class (Econ of Sports) was enjoyable. I find that Prof. Konan is a nice guy, offering helpful review sessions and makeup exams. However, he does make you buy Top Hat, he goes over time in most classes, and he is poor at responding to emails. Overall he is a decent choice if you like the class being taught. Be sure to do notes on the textbook.

He started the semester with a bit of a harsh tone, but he warms up to students and enjoys participation. He is not a very fast responder to emails or when grading assignments, but he definitely is passionate about the subject, and the class can be interesting. I recommend reading the textbook before or after class so you can soak the info in well.

Martin Konan is the worst teacher I ever had during my MBA. He does not care, he is in class simply for the paycheck. Runs thru materials without a single example, can't understand a word he says so get ready to help yourself by yourself. This teacher missed a few classes, he bragged about being traveling overseas during those classes.

I didn't learn anything from his lectures and found myself teaching myself everything. The tests were extremely difficult, he gave little to no feedback on tests and homework which made it close to impossible to understand what you did wrong. He doesn't check or answer emails at all. I would absolutely not recommend taking his class to anyone.
