Taught Management Theory & Leadership Practice to over 200 undergraduates. End-of-term course evaluation completed by 195 of 204 students; performed 1+ SD above university mean on nearly all measures.Selected student feedback: – "Professor Fried has been my favorite professor so far in my experience here at Virginia Tech. He is kind, patient and understanding with personal conflicts with school, which I had a few of myself. He has a lot of real world experience, which he perfectly incorporated with the material we learned, making it tangible and interesting. His class was one I looked forward to going to even though it was at 8 am (how often do you hear a student say that!). All in all, he was an extremely effective and efficient professor, and I will truly miss his class. Because of him, I have a stronger interest in my Management major and look forward to applying the concepts he taught me." – "Professor Fried is extremely knowledgable about the course information and explains it in a very interesting way. He has so much experience in real life situations that he brings to the classroom which makes it all the more interesting and informative. More than that, Professor Fried is one of the best professors I've seen at this school. He is understanding and wants his students to succeed; VT is lucky to have him." – "Mr. Fried was by far one of the best educators I have encountered in quite some time. His professional calm and friendly nature created an incredible learning environment. He started off every class with an ice breaker of naming different cities across the world. He provided us with different opportunities such as Skyping with a Google employee and hearing first hand what management is like. He was extremely accommodating when it came to rescheduling exams. His openness and willingness to share from his own personal professional experience was certainly a huge asset for students."Full evaluation available upon request.
