Reviews of professor Cyrus Dioun

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Great teacher with engaging lectures, manageable out of class work with podcasts & videos as part of your prep.  Mandatory attendance with 1 excused absence, fair and lenient grader.  Would absolutely take again

Cyrus is passionate about what he teaches. the best part of his class was probably the guest speakers, who are well qualified in their industry. lectures and main ideas are very important. they are easy concepts, but you must know thoroughly in order to pass the test. Readings are LONG but overall interesting. I would take him again.

I did the Germany & Czech Republic study abroad. Cyrus goes above and beyond for his students. He truly wants to help you learn and has a laid back and welcoming approach. He creates a safe environment and is good at leading thoughtful discussions. One of the best courses I've taken.

Cyrus is definitely willing to work at the pace of the class. This is a class that you have to keep up with, but readings and guest speakers are interesting and engaging. He encourages participation, so you must be able to discuss topics in class and have good attendance for points. I enjoyed this class and would take another class with Cyrus.

Cyrus Dioun is awesome!  His lectures and materials are well organized.  Be prepared to read - not just the textbook, but other assigned articles, etc.  And take good notes during the lectures you will need those for the quizzes.  He is very approachable should you have questions and is very responsive.  You will learn a lot!

I took Cyrus for entp. in emerging industries - great course! Interesting readings, good class discussions, and most importantly I learned how to keep a keen eye open for areas of market disruption *in the real world* - very important if you hope to operate in entp. space. Additionally I learned how social and political landscapes impact business.

New teacher but very well read and erudite that tried hard to present interesting information and get the class excited.

Professor Dioun is an awesome instructor!  His lectures and material are well organized and he gives real world examples that make learning and understanding the concepts easier.  He does assign a lot of reading not just in the textbook, but other journals, etc., so be prepared to read and pay attention.  Take good notes during the lectures.

Pay attention to all of the nuances at the beginning of the course as they'll be vital throughout. Study early and you'll be fine, ignore the readings and you'll struggle.
