Reviews of professor Pooria Assadi

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Professor Pooria is definitely what you call a quality Professor. He cares about his students and always ask how were doing. He does not give out the powerpoint/materials so attend class and take notes. Taking notes will benefit you for the final. Theres 2 essays and you have to apply HR theories/framework in your essays. Definitely recommend.

Professor Assadi makes MGMT177 a tough but interesting course to take. Though the course is challenging, as long as you make and effort and read everything you should be fine. The lectures are often thought provoking and though this class had me stressed out multiple times, it was easily my most favorite course I had this semester. Would recommend.

This Professor makes you work for your grade. Make sure to go to class and on time. If you are coming late, leaving early, or missing a class make sure to notify him. Your voice matters in this class, but make sure to read so you know what is being discussed. Be respectful and don't use your phone or other electronic devices. 2 essays, start early!

Great guy, his lectures are always engaging, it's a writing intensive course so get ready to read and write a lot. No lectures are posted so take notes and read the readings ahead of time.

There is a team/group presentation/essay that takes up essentially most of your grade. He is a great professor overall.

Class participation: 10 pts, Paper 1 and 2: 35 pts each, Final exam (comprehensive): 20 pts  100 possible pts plus some extra credit. Not only is this a writing instensive class, it is reading intensive. Important to keep up with the readings for class discussions and final.

Dr. Assadi's lectures were next level. All of the readings are free to access. I was able to get an A on everything by not really reading and just listening to his lectures. He refuses to post the slides, so take notes! Final was at home, if you took good notes then your set for the final. He gives amazing feedback and offers extra credit.

We had two papers, 2500 words each, and a final. Zoom is once a week, he takes attendance. The papers are not too hard. Writing isn't my strongest suit but shockingly I received A's on my papers.

Two 2,500 word papers. Final is a lot of short essay answers. On the review he said the final won't require you to know the names, but it did. Almost every question needed you to know the name of the people because it asked to talk about "John's" theory. Participation was 15% of the grade and if you skip class/ and don't talk then bad grade there.
