Individual Course Reviews
| Course Name/Rating: |
Operations Management |
| Course Department: | Business |
| Instructor: | Stephen Chandler |
| Instruction Language: | English |
| Comments: | My Operations Management course was pretty intensive because it was a higher level business class and I haven't taken too many business classes prior. But I attended classes regularly and the professor knew the material well. He also used explanations and examples that'll help us to understand and get through the course! |
