Winter 2022 - Take this class with Professor Borman. The class is absolutely manageable. Grading is fair. Lots of great topics are covered. A great option for non accountants. We had two open book open note quizzes. Four one page homework assignments. Midterm and final are open book. Genuine and approachable. Has great stories he applies to class. He also expects participation and challenges the students to look at the issue from different points of view. Most importantly he doesn't make you feel dumb if you get it wrong, instead he helps you through it. In other words, take him.

Fall 2020 - Professor Williams should be avoided at all costs, especially during remote learning. All of his classes during remote learning are asynchronous including MGMT 121, 122, 124, and probably others. During Fall 2020, the MGMT 121 course was broken down into three modules: module 1 covering Weeks 1-4, module 2 covering Weeks 5-7, and module 3 covering Weeks 8-10. Each module has one assignment worth 33% of the grade. The promise on the syllabus is that the lecture videos and class material would be uploaded at the beginning of each module. NOPE! Professor Williams uploaded the module 2 materials during week 9, and the module 3 materials on Friday and Sunday of Week 10 with no prior communication about the delay. His attitude towards students is "deal with it!" and he shows nothing but disrespect towards students' time and negligence towards his own duty as a professor. He doesn't respond to emails, he doesn't upload things on time, he doesn't communicate with students, he frequently makes irrelevant and insensitive political commentary, etc. All of these nightmare traits carry over to his in-person classes as well, so once UCLA is back in-person after the pandemic you should avoid Williams at all costs!
