I have heard nothing but glowing reviews of Prof Kovier. In fact if you go to www.ratemyprofessor.com you will see he has a 5 star rating. He is the arthur brown of teaching but doesn't have to leave, ever.

I don't necessarily hate either.  Kim added more misery to my life, but she liked me.  Kingsley isn't a great teacher, but a 48 on a Charland test is like a 92 on a Kingsely test.

Absolutely hated this guy. He thought his class was the only class on campus, also thought he was the only one that assigned HW. I only had him for one class but during our final we had ppl in the back stand up and yell "eff You" to him. NOT LYING.  Also, had my 4th knee surgery about 8 days before his class started and it was in the big lecture hall in Kedzie  :dubious:.

Can we all just bitch about Peter Mudrack for a second? My word.

So you had him for business ethics or w/e too!? I had it as a night class a few years ago on Thursday nights, no arguments could ever be made with him because he left it in open answered questions everytime.  Every single person in my class failed the final, but you had 5-6 times to take it, passed on my second time  :cool:.

my parents are good friends with brian kovar and his wife stacy.  we're going to holiday dinner this saturday together. it's too bad that some students at ksu want to skate by with pud classes and learn nothing.  OMG HOMEWORK IS HARD!  i'm not surprised given our pud entrance criteria, i really wish the BoR would weed out some of these kids and send them to university of phoenix or national american university or some place where they belong.  because they don't deserve or belong at ksu.  then let those of us who actually don't mind working hard focus on making ourselves better.

Why would anyone take MANGT 366 from Kovar? I had heard the rumors about him being terrible, but signed up for his class anyways. Dropped it after one day and took it with Borth the next semester.

Borth was a total stud boss. I usually spent each Tuesday browsing the waiver wire in my fantasy football league. Easiest A I ever got in college.

i was certainly lazy at times in college, but good grief people, your only complaint about Kovar is that he makes you learn things. his class is structured step by step, there's no way to eff it up, you just have to devote like, three hours a week to it. kids these days, right 'clams?

FR Miller would pack all the chalkboard area with math crap while blabbering to himself like mr magoo about math crap the whole time. He would go entire lectures without ever looking back at the class

He was left handed and would erase with his right hand while simultaneously filling math crap back in with his left hand.

I still remember the first day of class when ole Forrest walked in and started doing this.  Everybody was like "wut is this.  I don't even."

I made the mistake once of trying to interact with him (walking between classes on campus) outside of his comfort environment.
