Reviews of professor Dirk Brown

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I was excited about this class, but it ended up having nothing to do with international entrepreneurship. Dirk's very unorganized, never even made a syllabus. Then, he gave us a semester's worth of assignments to do in the last two weeks because he didn't plan ahead. What's the point of doing an interim pitch if the final one is due the week after?

Super knowledgeable and experienced. He clearly knows what he's talking about. However, he is sometimes scattered and he does forget to tell us things (such as when the speakers will come). He didn't follow-up much with how our final project was going during the semester, but the grading criteria was clear, so it wasn't hard to get a good grade.

I took his honors class about Entrepreneurship. The entire course is him lecturing on how to build a start up. You work in a group on your own startup and pitch it at the end of the semester. Lots of fun. He's super knowledgeable and experienced in the field.

Professor Brown made sure to introduce us to plenty of networking opportunities. Our final project connected us to real entrepreneur start-ups corresponding to our professional interests. Overall, a very beneficial, low-stress class.
