Section 3. Comments The following two open-ended questions are responses from your students pertaining to you, and the course.

Please provide any additional comments with respect to Stephen Diasio.

Comment Professor Diasio has been one of the best professors I have had the pleasure of working with. He is very passionate about what he teaches, as well as inspirational. His teaching method is different in ways of some other professors, but this difference is the contributing factor on what sets him apart from others. He allows us to work on our group presentations on our own time and is there for any feedback that will help us perform and present better next time around. I also appreciated some of his "energy" exercises to help loosen us up and maintain focus. I definitely recommend and promote his teaching expertise.

Steven provides an engaging learning environment. However, his canvas materials are dated and need revising as requirements for prior classes and projects exist which build confusion for current assignment expectations.

Steven's curriculum adequately prepares a student for presenting strategic management ideas in a real-world business environment.

Steven does stimulate learning in the classroom, but doesn't provide very much feedback to answers to his questions. It would be nice if he took a stance on subject materials and stated his educated opinion about important topics.

Great class! Great instructor! Nice to see a professor actually passionate about what he/she does.

He was an awesome professor!

Stephen Diasio is a wonderful instructor. I learned a great deal in his class and he truly cares about his students success. He has a different and very interactive way of teaching that really involves and inspires his entire class. I feel lucky to have taken this course towards the end of my degree process.

Prof Diasio is very passionate about management. I think he has a great idea to teach with real life situation instead of just book learning. This is exactly what employers are looking for and this is the first time a professor has actually offered that option.

Professor is unique, not like any other I have had, particularly in the business coursework. He is very energetic and cares a lot about his students. Liked his unusual teaching methods...

Comment A great exit class to prepare us for the "real" world.

This is an excellent course and very valuable to the business program.

I'm not impressed with the class. This was supposed to bring all of our various business classes together on one cohesive unit. Instead, it was just another management class. This should be a general class taught before all of the required COB classes. The book had a lot of introductory information that the individual classes build upon.

Interesting experience....not what I expected at all. I think the live consultation made it more interesting and definitely upped the ante.
