Comments:Bus 4385 - There was 8 exams for his course, absolute joke of a professor to have senior year. Exams are all based on his walk throughs. Most repetitive teacher at Baylor. You can tell he has been a career teacher because he has no real world experience and vomits information. Every other professor for this class has a normal workload, while he acts like we all want to be there. It is a required senior course, get with it and stop making kids study for 8 exams and 3 papers on international business. If I wanted to study that I'd take that course, this is strategic MGMT not international.  - Grade In Class:B+

Comments:4385 - Honestly a great professor. I get the talk about he's boring and monotone during class and he assigns a lot of work but really if you think about it, this is supposed to be a capstone class that's meant to encapsulate your entire time in the Business Core. He truly wants you to succeed, and if you just put in the time and effort, he will assist you and give you the tools to succeed.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:BUS 4385 - Dr. Palich is a super chill, nice guy, but his class is a tad dry and boring at times. BUS 4835 is the business school capstone, however, each teacher can teach with an emphasis on their expertise. His focus is international business, which was interesting to hear about. The grade is based on 3 tests, 5 Wall Street Journal 1/2 page reports you turn in, and participation (which he grades a few different ways). There is one other test that the business school makes us take to evaluate how much we have learned through our time at Baylor, but it only counts for 5% of our overall grade. But beware: his tests are EXTREMELY hard. Everyone says this class is supposed to be a breeze since it is the capstone everyone has to take. Not if you take Palich. His tests are 50 multiple choice PLUS 6-9 short answer questions that you have to answer within the 75 minute class period. It is quite the time crunch. And the short answer is not a normal short answer where you are given a scenario and have to apply it to the class content. It is "Write this specific list of 10 items from the PowerPoint slides and describe them." That is just one short answer question, and then you still have 5-8 more to answer. Don't quote me, but I think he said it was a new short answer technique he was trying this semester, but the tests make this class not worth taking. Will be telling him this feedback in my course eval, but if he doesn't take the feedback, be warned. Also, if you have to take him: buy the textbook so you can take notes. He offers videos you can watch instead of buying the textbook where you can listen to him talk about the content, but the videos are so long and boring and monotone that I would have rather just read the book instead. I don't have my grade yet in the class, but I'm hoping for a B. We still have to take the 3rd of his awful tests, which may save my grade or tank it. Pray for me.  - Grade In Class:B+

Comments:4385 - Dr. Palich is one of the worst professors I have ever had at Baylor. I set up an appointment with him to review an exam, and he never showed up after I waited for 1 hour+. He literally told our class that he won't be discussing what we read in the book, as this would be "a waste of time;" instead, he has hypothetical conversations and discussions about his time abroad. He posted our final course grades in BearWeb without ever showing us our final exam grades, and refused to answer emails asking for clarification. RUN.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:Strategic Management - This class will remind you of high school. The information is given to you in the powerpoints. Quizzes are easy. Tests are even easier. Palich sends annoying e-mails and acts like we are 5 year olds he is babysitting. The project is easy if you have a group who works on it. No capstone project is required. Take him if you want a blow off class.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:BUS 4385 - Let me try to be as objective as possible. First of all, disregard the comment below. The class is not stupid. Dr. Palich's Strategic Management class is the international business section (still counts as same class)with a different textbook, and the last and only section that doesn't do the Capstone simulation as far as I know as of Spring 2010. Considering Dr. Palich, he probably has the best and most positive attitude of any professor I've ever had, seriously. A very caring, geniune guy who is very approachable and understanding. He also tries to make the class interesting. We do a group global business plan instead of the simulation, which can be knocked out before finals if you work on it solidly starting after spring break. There are 3 tests, which can be tough but certainly doable (don't get scared off because of this), over the lectures and the chapters of the textbook. Considering HW, you really only have to read chapters now and then, study for the test, and work on the project for part of the semester, but not as involved on a week-by-week basis as other capstone classes. Occasional pop quizzes, but not too difficult honestly. Basically, all strat. mgt. classes won't be a cakewalk, regardless of teacher. But I would take Palich again, and I'd recommend him to you as well.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:MGT 4385 - This has to be the stupidest class I have ever taken. No capstone project at least and lots of stupid videos. Dumb, dumb, dumb class.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:MGT 4385 - Dr. Palich is the best guy to get for Strategic Management. We had two tests which were hard, then two projects. He graded easy on the first and SUPER HARD on the second. Every one in the class almost failed the second project. But this class, you do not do Captstone Simulations like the other strategic classes. I would say still get him because i have heard the simulation things are hard and a waste of time.  - Grade In Class:C
