Reviews of professor Roger Ball

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Ball takes following directions to a whole new level! Quite critical when it comes to written assignments too. Responded promptly to emails, and I had no qualms with requesting clarification when needed. Didn't HATE his class, but I don't think his teaching style was for me.

Inconsistent grading. Lack of details in little feedback given. All material is relatively easy but frustrating busy work makes it an awful class. APA formatted multiple page papers for weekly assignments on top of reading and homework. Take from a different instructor or university altogether. Terrible course and teacher.

Professor Ball has a very particular style of teaching that is not for everyone. When grading papers, following instructions is more important than the actual content. For lectures (at least at the beginning of the semester) much of the topics discussed were not relevant to tests or homework. He is a fine professor, but just not my favorite style.

Did not have a good experience learning from Professor Ball. He unfairly deducted weeks worth of participation points with no explanation. Grading was very unclear at times. Talked to students very condescendingly on Live sessions.. Gave extra credit at the end of the course. there are No exams. Avoid in-person or live session with him if possible.

Professor Ball is truly one of the most genuine, caring professors I've ever met. Those who graded him poorly simply don't know how to read directions and expect their profs to break it down for them like they're 5. Ball works very hard to cut out fodder and ensure that his students are learning and applying useful, fundamental business ethics.

Dr. Ball is great. He is very knowledgeable in what he does and holds the student accountable for his/her work. He will go over everything throughly so one will understand the format and structure of the paper/class. He does lecture, but gets the students up and role play what is being taught in the class. Overall, very happy to have had him.

Mr. Ball is an ok instructor, he lays out all the assignments and tasks well. He is average in grading but would help if he put in grades more on time. His emails come off with an aggressive tone, which I hope he can fix. He expects you to follow instructions to the letter and look at the syllabus. All in all, he's OK.

Save yourself the stress and just steer clear.

The only difficult part about this class was the mini cases. There were only four and they were written in APA format. Now he does give you a formatted template, which I would recommend using instead of trying to make your own. Just doing the mini cases in general, it was difficult. Overall is a good professor.
