Reviews of professor Brian Mihalik

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Gives 4 tests but we can retake it 3 times and get the highest grade. Gives a ton of extra credit so I was able to cover one bad test grade. Lots of personal , funny travel stories. He knows his stuff about tourism. We get to see interesting 360 VR films with our phones & goggles. He even makes his own 360 VR films for us to see in class!

Not sure how he is in-person, but his online powerpoints don't offer any additional information about the lesson. He just shares personal travel stories the whole time. The only learning I did was from information I taught myself from our extremely outdated textbook. We had VR assignments each week that weren't relevant.

So this class was heavily VR 360, but that allowed for a lot of buffer grades. Like the exams were based off the textbook which we really didn't discuss, but they are online and you get up to 3 chances to take them. The VR stuff was cool and Dr. B is very in to it which makes it fun. He is very knowledgeable and really loves teaching.

Teaches class on the Summer Olympics. He really knows his stuff about the Olympics. We read two books that are cheap. The Boys in the Boat book is about rowing We do lots of papers and PowerPoint presentations about games operations and stuff like geopolitical things that happen at each summer Olympics. We uses 360 VR in class which is fun

Great Professor although participation matters. Make sure to get involved in Kahoots and VR tours.

A lot of VR assignments, and had to print out most of the reading assignments on your own. Was a pretty simple straight forward class, just wish the scheduling was more clear. Nice professor who will give you weather updates for the day lol.

Don't take the class with Dr. B. It's just not worth it. Two months of the semester have been a disaster of PowerPoints fixated on the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. Biggest problem was an online-only team project that was an absolute cluster. He refused to help groups who couldn't get team members to respond and gave no tech help for presenting on zoom.

Great professor. He takes us on 360 VR field trips to tourism places like the Sydney Harbor and a park in South Africa. We use our phones, 360 VR Goggles and YouTube. He has even made 360 VR films for us to see places like Iceland and the Eiffel Tower. We are even making our own 360 VR tourism films with a 360 camera for a class assignment!

Do not take him. Online class but he doesn't understand the technology at all. Exams were all really specific questions that were not relevant to the course at all. Online group project, would not help if you had a bad group member, took off points for unavoidable technology issues. He has very unrealistic expectations. Worst class and prof ever.
