Now that grades are in from last semester, I thought I'd share some of the comments my classmates and I submitted for the class reviews. Of course, names have been changed to protect the innocent... and the guilty, too.
...
Strengths-
He is knowledgable of the subject matter. He showed up on time.
Weaknesses-
[He] is the worst professor that I have ever had, even throughout undergrad. He is very disorganized and I never really knew where he was going with the lectures. The class never knew what topic he was going to lecture on so there was no opportunity to prepare in advance.
The syllabus was of no use. Grades were arbitrarily assigned by an esoteric grading system he attempted to describe in class.
After the midterm, he did not write down any of the assignments, and refused to do so when asked. This made it difficult to understand what exactly we were supposed to accomplish. Even the Final exam, which was a take home test, was not written down. The entire class is still confused as to what we were trying to illustrate with the final.
When students would try to ask a question, he wouldn't let them finish their question. He would cut them off and proceed to answer what he thought was their question. In many instances, had he let the student finish stating his/her question then he could have saved a lot of time.
Suggestions to improve the class-
The book for the course was optional. After the confusing lectures with illegible writing on the board, I would read through the material in the book. The concepts in the book were very well laid out and easy to follow. It progressed in a very logical fashion. The professor should have utilized the book more so than his seemingly ad-hoc lectures which sometimes turned into government (referred to by [him] as the people with the guns) bashing tirades. In an academic institution like Clemson, there is no reason a professor like [him] should be allowed to continue his unprofessional pedagogy in a graduate level business course.
Would I recommend his course to a friend?
Emphatically NO. On the first night of class, he referred to the students as 'baby-killers'. He was trying to make a point that since the US military is killing women and children in Iraq and we were not protesting the war (obviously since we were sitting in his class) that we were implicitly 'baby-killers'. If this was my first course in the MBA program, I would be looking to transfer elsewhere. It was painful to endure.
...
One thing I emphasized is that he would not answer student's questions, by e-mail or in class. I also mentioned that he was often offensive, referring to the class twice as baby killer's. Yes, I went that far. I was fair, I gave him a 4 for enthusiasm about teaching (but also mentioned that he appeared lazy for not posting quiz assignments as promised.).
...
1. Syllabus was meaningless, as were grades.
2. No feedback other than number grades on the one assignment that the professor graded. These were non-negotiable. Other "quizzes" were graded by classmates.
3. Instructor never responded to emails, phone calls.
4. Assignments were not written down. In fact, he refused to write them down. As a result, assignments were unclear.
5. Grading was admittedly completely arbitrary.
6. Course lacked structure and organization.
7. Professor's handwriting on the board seemed to be purposefully hard to read.
8. Professor spoke as if we were finance PhDs. In fact, most of us hadn't taken an accounting/finance class since we first started the program. In many cases, that was years ago.
9. Grades were not given on any assingment other than the midterm as of the last day of class.
For the "would you recommend this class to a friend,":
Absolutely not. This class was painful to sit through each week.
On Saturday, we hung out with the family and just relaxed - so nice! Mom made ribs for dinner, plus potato salad and pasta salad.
Sunday was Amy's wedding. I had no idea who was going to be there, so it was a nice surprise to see so many familiar faces, many of whom I haven't seen in 2 years, or more! The wedding ceremony was outside, and it was HOT on Sunday afternoon, but at least the weather held, and we didn't have to deal with rain. 
With the floor plans from Home Depot, we didn't have enough knobs for all of the cabinets. We bought the knobs and handles from IKEA, maybe 1 - 1.5 years ago. We were SUPER lucky that they're still carrying them, so we made a trip down to Atlanta. Of course we ate lunch at IKEA ... swedish meatballs! These pictures are from lunch - I used the camera on my phone.
Of course, we can never leave IKEA with just what we came for. The cats scored some more rainbow plates for their chow, and a new tent. They LOVED the first tent we got them from Target for $2.50. In fact, they loved it to death -- literally. They played in it so much that the cross pieces eventually wore holes through the fabric. So the new tent actually looks like a cat, and despite its sturdier construction, they (mostly Lefty) have already figured out how to collapse it. It doesn't seem to stay upright for very long. Dusty seems to be acting like she's above it.
The kittens have been going through another destructive phase. This is the remaining sheer curtain in the living room (the other ones came down when they brought the whole rod down. I've gotten a new rod, but haven't hung the curtains yet.). There are a bunch of holes. Greg saw it first and told me there were holes in the curtain, and I thought he meant little kitten teeth holes, like the ones we find in any piece of cardboard. But no -- these really are holes.
The tomato plants really are getting big! The one little green tomato keeps getting bigger, and I'm thinking I'm going to have to start worrying about the birds finding it soon. I also move the herbs outside last night, still in their little pods. They survived the horrible thunderstorm yesterday afternoon, only because I put them (unintentionally!) on the little table that's under a slight overhang. Otherwise all that rain would have washed them away.
Greg did show me where the knobs and handles for the kitchen are. This is what we're looking at doing in the kitchen, probably with a lighter wood finish, and something not quite so grainy as what we have.
I caught the cats at their favorite lookout again tonight. It is finally cool enough to open windows again. Supposed to get into the 40s tonight, but I don't know if I believe that. It feels so good to have the windows open at night. And I love to be cold at night, because, no matter what, I always wake up hot.
My herb seeds sprouted last week, and I think the next step is to keep them inside a little bit longer, but get them some sun. They weren't getting much sun on top of the refrigerator, and the cats have recently demonstrated that they can get up there, too. I moved them to the spare bedroom, since we keep the door shut there just about all the time. The cats got in while I was getting everything set up, and of course they went straight for the plants. The picture is of Lefty checking things out.
