I would never ever take this class or another class with Wilson ever again. The entrepreneurship minor is a complete joke, they do not teach you anything relevant about how to be an entrepreneur: they just assign busy work assignments and slap on convoluted labels and definitions to business world stuff that is common sense. Wilson in particular is a horrible teacher, the guy took 6 weeks to upload a syllabus to the class page, grades hard for no reason and is very unclear. You can follow his directions exactly as he says them, mind you he is too stupid to upload them on canvas and only tells you about your assignments verbally, and then he’ll give you an 82% with no feedback, wondering what you messed up on.

But guess what, he does not grade anything till midway through the quarter where you have already submitted a series of assignments. The group projects are disasters as well because at least 1 member of the team will not do anything which makes it much more difficult to compete with the rest of the class since you are graded on a curve. Nathan's solution to this is to mark the non-contributing group members down but if your team is getting B to begin with since it is hard for 3/5 of the members to compete and get A's, then who cares about the participators being marked down, you still get a bad grade.

Horrible class, horrible teacher. I could have done way more useful things with my time then listen to Nathans tirades about how life is unfair and how he lost out millions from his failed business ventures. The only thing Nathan should be teaching is how NOT to do entrepreneurship. The guy has failed in every single one of his entrepreneurial endeavors until he got to UCLA. His only successful endeavor was becoming a professor, where he gets paid 300k a year to vent to a bunch of college students about how he was robbed back in his startup days.

This class wasn't as bad as everyone says on BruinWalk, but it was not great. I'd avoid it if you can. It's basically one long group project the whole time. He gives you feedback on each step, but most of the feedback is contradictory and stupid. He just tried to find something to say about the work and would never approve of the presentations even if they were up to par. It can be worse if you have a bad group, so be careful who you choose to be in a group with. It's doable, just not fun.

This is a very fun class that teaches hands-on business venture analysis. In week 1, you make a group of five and you stick with them the whole quarter, so choose wisely. The next week, your group decides on a UCLA patented technology that was recently created. The next 8 weeks are spent researching and creating reports about different aspects of the technology to see if it should/shouldn't be commercialized. The main topics are on market sizing and patentability. The main portion of your grade comes from your team final presentation and Due Diligence Report. This class boils down to if you have a group that actually cares. I was fortunate to have a great group, so by delegation we all got A's with not too much work associated with it. Others were not so fortunate. Moral of the class: it is very interesting and is an easy A as long as you have a good group.

I am in physical pain from how much time I wasted doing the assignments for this class. Nathan himself is a clown, there is no other way to put it. He did not upload the class syllabus until 5 weeks into the quarter since he was "busy". Busy doing what you ask? Probably crying about how his former teams have become great successes in his absence and how he got cheated out of it. This bowling pin of a man's class is 3 hours long and feels like an eternity.

If I was on my death bed at Reagan, I would ask them to relocate me into his class in Anderson so I could live three more lifetimes before I pass away. The guy is also a broken record player, all he ever discusses is either Elon Musk, Tesla or Uber. He is literally a dog with three tricks, it is almost like he does not know anything else besides those three companies. As the other review said, Nathan is a half-ass Professor and a pretty much a loser on every level imaginable.

Whoever wrote the one positive review is a retard or Nathan himself, who is also a retard. This class is a tremendous waste of time and there is no way that that one dumbass justified it by saying it was "fun" to go the business school for class. That guy definitely watches paint dry if he thinks this class was fun / useful in any capacity.

They structure the entrepreneurship courses like they're regular courses for the business school, so it was pretty fun to get to go to Anderson for a class on bringing new tech to market. Very interesting class that revolves around group work and culminates in a team presentation/report on a new technology that you choose, research for most of the quarter, and evaluate whether or not it should be taken to market. Workload was pretty manageable, completing weekly group case studies and researching till the end of the quarter when you definitely have to spend a bit of time getting ready for the presentation. Definitely recommend if you're into the tech industries.
