Reviews of professor Michael Shields

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Shields is passionate and on top of it. He's willing to help, excited to teach and learn with the students, and if he says he'll do something he does it. He has great personal examples that relate to the course. I don't love the subject matter of this course, but Professor Shields does a great job with it.

Im surprised others are saying easy A. I struggled with the class a bit. Perhaps because it was so early. I actually found the lectures pretty interesting but the material was very quantitative. Overall I liked the professor.... he came across as genuine and passionate.

Shields is okay at best. The class is extremely easy. He comes across as extremely pompous. Loves to brag about all his travels and material possessions. If you are willing to deal with that, you can get an A with minimal personal effort.

Overall, I thought he was great. I like how he always throws in real world examples. I think he could use a dose of humility. Just study the study guide and you can easily get an A.

He has a focus on applicability. He didn't have as much "finesse" as maybe more experienced professors. He works at a local tech company and brings some great world life examples. I also liked that he tied what was going on in the news. Most importantly, I like that he showed that it was applicable even for non-supply chain majors.
