sensational. might be the nicest person at BC- as an advisor he isn't overly useful unless you are clueless but that is kinda what an advisor is supposed to do anyway- too nice and too fair to give you the inside scoop on stuff so don't expect it- my only grievance
Professor Cioni is the GOAT.
Great guy. SO nice. Office hours definitely help. Tough grader, but that's because Portico is very cutthroat, no matter who you have.
Professor Mendelsohn is a great person. The actual day-to-day class is very easy with minimal work. However, his grading on exams is extremely inconsistent and unclear. Also, he does not allow computers, which means that notes on every reading (very long) are essential.
Great professor. Very kind and engaging. Tough grader though (might be genuinely impossible to get an A). Impossible to get under a B+ though.
Good heart. Emphasizes being a team. To get a good grade you have to talk in class so take notes on the main points of the readings he assigns.
Just an absolutely awesome human being who has a genuine care for what he teaches. Maybe a rough workload if you work to actually understand what you're reading you'll do fine and learn a lot. The BEST Portico teacher regardless of how that reflects in your grade. Very personable as well
Fantastic Professor, extremely engaging, great discussion facilitator. Very tough grader, A's are rare to come by, you will most likely end with a B+.
Extremely nice, passionate about what she teaches, and really wants students to do well. That being said, she does have class favorites and the exams are very specific.
Great proffessor. Very energetic and takes time to get to know every student. Lots of readings for homework but manageable if you stay on top of it. Makes class go by fast.
Cioni is honestly the GOAT of Portico. He makes it exciting to learn about business ethics even at 9 in the morning. He takes time to learn about everyone and is always there to help out. Only criticism would be that he prefers paper over digital.
