BUS 387 Senior Grade Earned: A Required (Major) 1:02 pm, Apr 3, 2013 Report Evaluation		This was the BEST class I have taken at Cal Poly. Coget presents the information in a fun and dynamic way and the class load is easy. If you take the time to really listen and open up, you will not only learn so much about yourself, but your relationships with other people too. The things I learned in Coget's class, I will take with me into my career and there is no doubt about that. TAKE COGET!!!

BUS 387 Sophomore Grade Earned: B Required (Major) 11:07 pm, Jun 13, 2012 Report Evaluation		Not much for Coget. Didn't like the subject but enjoyed all the group project. Crazy hard grader! Only reason I got a B was cause he graded our group video really hard. You have a really long paper due at week 4 but after that it's smooth sailing. Just the group project at the end. Not to bad a class if you are willing to read a lot and deal with what I find boring.

BUS 387 Junior Grade Earned: A Required (Major) 1:41 pm, May 30, 2012 Report Evaluation		Coget was pretty straightforward. The subject matter is soft and when he does lecture, it's a little boring. Luckily, you spend a lot of class time doing activities. Make sure you get a good group, and the video project will be a breeze. I'm not sure what the reviewer below me is talking about, but we only ended up filming for about five hours. If you have someone with video editing experience, that would help. He grades the self-reflection paper VERY easily (I got a 99%) if it seems like you were open and honest. Overall, a super easy class. You'd probably learn more with PDC but Coget is way easier than Chandler.

BUS 387 Junior Grade Earned: A Required (Major) 11:50 am, May 12, 2012 Report Evaluation		Rock solid class and professor. This is the first polyrating I've posted but I had to do it for Coget. He knows his stuff and is super down to earth. The self-reflection paper is a bit unnerving at first but Coget is a trustworthy guy and I recommend dropping by his office hours to find out for yourself. At times this class was frustrating because there is a decent amount of reading to do for the short online quizzes but all things considered it is worth it. The midterms are pretty easy if you pay attention to the readings and study them before the tests. The self-reflection paper will depend on your personality as it is probably more difficult for some than others. Hands down, the hardest part of this class is the video project (in place of a final) so get a hard-working group and pick a simple and concise topic early in the quarter. He grades them generously so don't trip too hard on it. Enjoy.

BUS 387 Senior Grade Earned: A Required (Support) 10:21 am, Jun 3, 2011 Report Evaluation		This class was really interesting. I had been holding off on taking BUS 387 because I heard it was so much work but this really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. If you study for the tests, they are not hard at all. You take the tests as an individual first and then together as a team. I can see how this class would be horrible if you have a bad group, but you are bound to get somebody who wants to get stuff done. The video takes a LONG time so make sure you start it really early. Overall, not a hard class and the classes were fun and keep your interest.

BUS 387 Sophomore Grade Earned: B Required (Major) 8:09 pm, Mar 18, 2011 Report Evaluation		I was really disappointed by this professor. He comes off as being really personable, but he doesn't effectively communicate his expectations and has an unrealistic grading rubric.

BUS 387 Sophomore Grade Earned: N/A Required (Major) 4:21 pm, Mar 13, 2011 Report Evaluation		If you don't know how to edit a video, don't take this professor. Yeah he's nice & easy to like but he grades harshly & even he admits that he's notorious for giving hard tests. Also the entire class is based around group work, which comprises about 40% of your grade.



BUS 387 Junior Grade Earned: B Required (Major) 9:52 am, Apr 9, 2009 Report Evaluation		Extremely passionate about the subject AND his students. Very intelligent and accomplished man, even though he's so young (at least he looks like he is). If you really pay attention and take some of the material to heart, you can really learn a lot about yourself and just life in general. He is very personable and willing to help!

BUS 387 Junior Grade Earned: B Required (Major) 9:33 am, May 29, 2008 Report Evaluation		coget was one of the best teachers ive had. he really tries to accomodate his students. he is really funny and we do fun activities in class (lego tower building)there is a lot of busy work, but it is really easy. he is very laid back. just participate a lot and go to class.

BUS 387 Junior Grade Earned: N/A Required (Major) 10:38 pm, May 26, 2008 Report Evaluation		The course was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much work. I may be wrong, but it felt like he wanted this class to be the most important course we will ever take in our lives. He expects his students to undergo some emotional transformation that will boost our careers. I can see why he gets great reviews. He is funny sometimes and he can relate to his students. But sometimes he tries too hard and you kind of feel sorry for him. Also, if you independent worker, this class might not be for you. I dont know how the other professors are, but a large part of your grade is based on teamwork. I should mention that he does care about his students, but he does so almost intrusively. Our blogs are supposed to entail aspects of our lives that I wouldn't even tell close friends, and yet, he expects us to reveal our innermost secrets(and I think the grade on your BLOG depends on quality of your revelations). He is also unclear with certain expectations. Some of the class material I did find to be quite interesting, but not enough to spend the majority of my time studying for it, especially for 8 question quizzes on 20 pages of very dull readings. All in all, some of the class activities were fun, but I think I would taken my chances with another teacher.

BUS 387 Junior Grade Earned: B Required (Major) 7:33 pm, Apr 7, 2008 Report Evaluation		Professor Coget is an enthuiastic lecturer and often provides in class team activities. In his class there is a lot reading and one large outside project which you have to do with your assigned team. There are two midterms, no final and you have to write a blog before every class and in order to get a decent grade you have to write about 4-5 paragraphs. Overall he is a good professor and I would take him again, however beware you MUST participate, it is a requirement.

BUS 387 5th Year Senior Grade Earned: A Required (Major) 8:12 pm, Mar 17, 2008 Report Evaluation		His class was fun but a lot of work and I really don't think he's as great a teacher as people say he is. He grades pretty hard and has somewhat unclear expectations. You will spend many hours a week reading for this class and writing blogs.

BUS 387 Junior Grade Earned: A Required (Major) 7:56 pm, Feb 20, 2008 Report Evaluation		Take organizational behavior with Coget if you can. He really takes an interseting perspective on the subject and I would go as far to say that everybody that is going into the workforce should take his class. He is very understanding with his students and genuinely cares about how they do. You have to write a "blog" entry pretty much before every other class, but you just have to be honest and clear on it and he will give you a good grade. If you have problem, go talk to him! He will help you solve it. You also have to do a project that is as involved as you want it to be. The two midterms are curved and directly from the material he gives you. Theres also a lot of reading, but most of it you should find to be at least mildly interesting. Plus his French accent is awesome.



BUS 387 Junior Grade Earned: A Required (Major) 7:43 pm, Jan 17, 2008 Report Evaluation		Coget really cares. He cares about his class, about his subject, and most of all about his students. He will go out of his way to help you with any difficulties you may have with the material. Coget tries to get each of his students to really evaluate themselves and grow as people through his blog exercises. He is also more than willing to put in time outside of class to help you with this self exploration and growth. I would highly recomend Coget and feel that I have come out of his class with not only a better understanding of the material but also of who I am. I hope that I will be able to take atleast one more class with him while I am here at Poly.

BUS 387 Senior Grade Earned: A Required (Support) 12:32 pm, Dec 14, 2007 Report Evaluation		If I had to describe Coget in one word I would have to say passionate. He is by far one of my favorite professors at Calpoly. Even though this is not the most exciting class in the school of business, Coget somehow found a way to make it fun and interesting. Not to mention his love of the subject is very clear, and you cannot help but want to partake in his amusement. He is an extremely caring professor, something I have found to be rare in college. Overall a great guy, who could teach many of these pompass professors how to truly teach to their students without the ego trip. Coget is awesome!

BUS 387 Senior Grade Earned: A Required (Support) 8:28 am, Mar 31, 2007 Report Evaluation		Professor Coget cares about helping his students learn how to really look with in themselves about their interactions with other people in team atmospheres. This class consists of blogs, reading almost every class period and open note quizzes on the reading before class on blackboard. The reading doesn't take too long, and the quizzes aren't difficult if you did the reading. If you keep up with the blogs they really help you to understand the class and yourself. They are very informal and only the teacher reads them, so you can basically say anything you want pertaining to what it is you are supposed to be writing about. There are 2 midterms and a final project. The midterms are more difficult than you think, but they are multiple choice. No one really took notes, but i would suggest doing so as it might help when it comes time for the midterm. The final project is a team project that requires a good chunk of time spent with your team performing something as a team that you could not do alone. Then you write a paper and give a presentation as a group. There are other team building exercises in class that were fun and competitive exercises. I think if you put a little effort in this class you can learn a lot about yourself and how to better your interactions with others.

BUS 387 5th Year Senior Grade Earned: N/A Required (Major) 6:04 am, Nov 1, 2006 Report Evaluation		I am a 6th year student and have never given a comment for a teacher on polyratings. It is actually 6 am and I felt compelled to say how remarkable coget is. He does want you to learn and also takes the class go on much more than just a letter evaluation. I have learned more than just about the subject but about compassion and undersanding for others. This guy would do anything to help a student in the classroom or out. I have never had such an undersanding and amazing teacher as coget. He may be a tad hard to understand at times because of his accent but i really think i am a better person and have a new perspective on teachers just because of him. if anyone has ANYTHING negative to say on this guy EVER, you have lost your f'n mind!!!
