Reviews of professor Alexandre Bitektine

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
If you ever have forums or assignments citations need to be on point. For a discussion forum you need to make sure to have a list of references every time you post something and intext citations. You also need to try and reply to every post made in the discussion forum to get full marks. Trust me it takes a lot to get full participation marks.

no clear instructions for the midterm while all other sections received a clear grading rubric. We got graded based on the grading rubric and then he told us out section's average was really low. He has a TA who corrects the paper and anything you want to discuss about the midterm ,he redirects you to his TA.

I usually don't rate profs. But I should do it for Alex. He is knowledgable instructor. His lectures are very engaing coupled with his interesting experinces. In the last 3 sessions, we had group activities to practice the course materials in real world cases. He is a bit tough in grading but it's definitely worth it. Take him and learn a lot.

Makes you read 4 articles per week, watch a bunch of 15-minute long videos, and read 40-60 pages of a textbook in preparation for his class. Then you try participating in class (has a strict participation grade) and he tells you you're wrong because he doesn't actually know what is written in the textbook. Also grades you based on whatever he wants

Although he seems to be a good guy, he isn't very interesting to listen to. He tries to get the class engaged but it hardly works with his way of teaching. Very lecture heavy with many slides and a case analysis every week. Expects a lot for the group project and is a tough grader. I wouldn't take him again but he was fine.
