102A with the woman (Stanton?) is cake. Scantron/multiple choice exams are a joke. If you decide to take 102B, I would suggest Udpa over Geyer. You will learn so much more from Udpa because he is loud, entertaining, uses case method, and cold calls. Geyer will put you to sleep.

If you take 103, watch out for the Indian visiting professor from HKUST with the PhD from UCLA (can’t remember his name).

101A with Marshack is cake. Don’t go to class or buy the book or take any midterms. Ask around for the master test file which has the last 15 years of his test. Go to the midterms, and take the test home without turning it in and use it to study for the final. He has 4 grading formulas that are weighted in a way where it demands you do well on the final. Select the 100% final grade option and study the old exams. The open book final draws from his previous exams with slight modifications. Sounds hard, but it is an easy A if you know what you are doing.

101B with Woods is excellent. Study his notes, but don’t study them. By this, I mean whatever are in his notes will not be on the exam. Woods test understanding and theoretical application so don’t try to memorize anything.

105 with Roberts is an easy A.

Other excellent classes are Negotiation with Schroth and Strategy with Cluff.

That takes care of most of the required classes. Good luck Haasholes!
