Reviews of professor Randall Palmer

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Randy is a very friendly and laid-back guy. His lectures could be improved to be more engaging at times, however the class overall is not too difficult if you read the textbook and work with a competent group. The quizzes are more reading-focused rather than concept-focused so make sure to read! He let our class make notes sheets in advance too.

Great class. Lectures were a mix of videos, PowerPoints, and in class activities. Gave very fair grades and the tests were easy and straightforward.

Class can be hard to get an A in not because the content is hard (at all) but because of grading. There is an elevator pitch competition that you have a 3/8 chance of getting an A on based on if your group wins, not super fair. I got 100% or close to on all assignments, presentations, and exams and if I had not gotten an HB would have gotten an A-

Loved taking this class! The only bad thing I would have to say is that he is a tough grader even though the course work is easy. Also a lot of group work which is unfortunate is you don't get assigned a good group.

Randall was a good teacher to have for Managing CSR. He includes real examples but also frequent use of videos instead followed by short explanations of their application. Few in class quizzes and group activities for attendance and an in class essay towards the end of the term. Not very engaging in lectures.

Fantastic professor. He is very caring and has the most interesting lectures I've been to. Would highly recommend. Two critiques: He had the biggest assignment due on Black Friday (It was available weeks earlier though), multiple instances of duplicate questions on quizzes (They aren't identical by essentially ask the same thing).

I took BA 260 with Professor Palmer. I enjoyed having him teach the class. He has a lot of experience in the business world and is a good teacher. His lectures can be a little boring but he wants the best for his students and cares. Can be a tough grader sometimes but its for the best. A lot of presentations and discussion boards. 3 quizzes + final

BA260 with palmer is fine, he is a very nice guy and understands the work that many students have. There are a ton of presentations in this class and his lecture can be a bit boring. He also sometimes makes it hard to get an A when you show great effort. Overall I understood the material at the end and the elevator pitch was fun.

Randall is honestly the most caring professor ever. I have taken him twice now in 2 different classes, and you can tell he really enjoys his job and loves the interactions with the students. He is very caring and understanding and willing to help however he can. Overall great person and teacher!
