Reviews of professor Fassil Fanta

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Making a second review just to say he accepts late work, only 10% off a day for up to a week. BUT, I submitted late a few times and he didn't even take anything off. Barely anyone else in this program will do that!

Worst professor I've ever taken. He does not teach the class. Sometimes he released course material, more often than not he doesn't release anything and expects you to take a weekly quiz on material he didn't teach. If you have questions do not email him as he does not respond. I recommend you do not take this any course with this professor.

This is another one of those professors who weights the averages on grades. I would not recommend him. He is not difficult but you will waste a great deal of your time on things that have no value.

This is the worst class I've taken in the LSUS MBA program.   It's not a terribly difficult course but Dr. Fanta clearly has other more important things to do and is absent most of the time.  He was very inconsistent with his lectures and very slow to grade (2-3 weeks late).  Take another professor if you want an engaged learning experience.

Great Professor. Discussion Board weekly with 2 responses required. One proctored exam each week. Gives a exam review video which is helpful to determine what areas to concentrate on for the exam. 3 papers -5-7 pages in length. Subject matters were decent. Easy grader.

Fanta offers a variety of ways to learn.  He offers discussion posts, papers, quizzes/tests.  I need a variety of learning outlets to show how I am absorbing the information. His lectures and to the point.  Not 45 minutes like other professors.  If you do the work/watch all videos, it is possible to get an A.  I did.  I learned a lot. Great class!

Dr. Fanta is a great professor. I have no prior formal experience with economics but learned a ton of interesting information. It's the average LSUS online MBA workload. Pay attention to his lectures. They are 15 minutes, and might be a better use of 1 hour to re-watch them 4 times than to do a portion of the reading. He's a high quality teacher.

Dr. Fanta was not very engaged in the course. He is an extremely slow grader. Half the times that I emailed Dr. Fanta he never responded. Some weeks our class never received a lecture, but we were still tested on the material. Very unprofessional. Take this course with a different professor if you have the option.

5 tests, 1 midterm, 1 final (cum). 3 papers (5-7 pg). DQ every week with 2 responses. He grades very easily, just make sure you are answering all the questions and meet the word count. The papers were not difficult prompts and required minimal research. He provides a study guide and video for the tests which have most answers. Solid choice, easy A.
