I learned nothing about management in this class. Prof. Parsons barely covers the material in the book; he twists everything into global business. For example, he will take a concept in the chapter and then use that concept to talk about something globally instead of the subject it was written to discuss. He is primarily concerned with manufacturing management (because that is his expertise). We never covered retail management or management in the service industry. His main focus is the Global Automotive Conference, which he coordinates every year. His graduate assistant grades the exams (and probably other assignments). This assistant will often mark correct answers as incorrect and will mark the entire question wrong if it is not word for word as it is in the book, wheras Prof. Parsons claims he is concerned with "general concepts." There are three exams and a final. These exams are impossible to study for because you haven't really talked about anything in the class! The exams include a few multiple choice, more (tricky) T/F and LOTS of short answer and definitions. He gave 25 points in extra credit questions on the second and final exam. You have to do a huge group project on an automotive industry supplier. The paper is worth 25% of your grade and there is a presentation. Prof. Parsons loses many items that are turned into him. Be sure to save all of your assignments because you will probably have to turn them in multiple times! If you attend several out-of-class presentations and write a one-page summary he will give you five extra credit points. We had the opportunity to earn about 60 extra credit points throughout the semester by attending these events. If you have to take MGT 310, DO NOT take Prof. Parsons.
