Prof. Constas organizes his lectures really well and explains class material very well, too. However, his exams are much harder than the examples he is going trough in class. He allows 'cheat-sheets', and makes his exams twice as hard as they would've been without those cheat sheets. Final grade is a cumulative of your midterm score and your final score. Midterm is hard yet much easier than the final. Judge for yourself - 25% is a C+ in his class...

Winter 2024 - I really enjoyed this classes and professor Devito. The lectures are interesting and engaging. The exams are based on the slides and textbook readings. The exams are a bit hard to study for, as you don't get a lot of conceptual practice problems. You should definitely be able to end with at least a B in this class. I would recommend the class and the professor.

This class was absolutely dreadful. He's extremely lazy and does not care about his students. All we do is go over case problems in class, but how can we do them if he doesn't teach us the basics of it first? Then, on the test, that's another story! It looks completely foreign to what we've been "learning" in class. Klein is really condescending and apathetic toward his student. I'm a good student and I get good grades, but he structures his class such that it is way beyond unreasonable.

Spring 2022 - Honestly, this was the most rewarding class I've taken at UCLA. I am in my third year of undergrad, and can confidently say that Professor Kumar is the most well rounded professor I have ever had. From the very first class you feel that she is very engaged. She goes out of her way to make students feel welcome in her class by memorizing people’s names, staying after class to answer questions, and taking however much time is needed for every student to understand each topic. Her teaching style is not traditional, rather than teaching from slides directly, she focuses on making interactive examples on the spot. This made going to her class something to look forward to, as instead of expecting tons of information shoved in your face, she tells you exactly what you need to know for the exam (and career). Just like any other management course you have to work for your grade. As long as you listen to her advice of studying for her exams you will be fine! Professor Kumar is one of the few professors at UCLA with her caliber of experience in what she teaches. If you have the chance, go to her office hours and ask her career questions. She is very knowledgeable on entrepreneurship and the different career paths for people in the business economics major and accounting minor. If you are looking to be an entrepreneur, business consultant, or a CPA, you honestly would be doing yourself a disservice by not taking her class. If you are just looking to fill requirements and want to have a class in your schedule that isn’t super exhausting to sit through and you still learn a lot, take this class.

Winter 2021 - COVID REVIEW Hands down one of the worst professors I have had here at UCLA. He was completely unresponsive to emails and questions practically the whole quarter, and your grade is based on 5 tests that he makes. Questions would be unclear on what they wanted you to do to the point where no one was certain what he was asking for, and his lack of response overall made this a terrible class. Really hoping the Accounting department steps in to address this, but I really don't recommend taking any classes with him at least during COVID until these issues are addressed (because he seems very experienced and knowledgeable).

Spring 2020 - This professor is not helpful at all. Emailed questions and never respond. Leave the class unnoticed for a week without any updates. Yeah no exam this quarter, but each assignment worths 20% of your grade. If you miss one or didn't do well, bye. He will not help you at all, ready for self-study. If you want a responsible and helpful professor, he is clearly not a choice.
