I thought Biswas was an extremely good and interesting teacher. If you get the chance to sit down with him, you’ll realize he has such an amazing career path, from doctor to consultant. He does move at a fast pace on certain topics, but he explains everything you need about each sections. The grade in this class is effort based, meaning you kinda choose the grade you want to have. If you do extra work (which is not extremely hard) you can get an easy A. The course content itself is super interesting and definitely useful if trying to go into business or finance. Highly recommend

Professor Biswas is the most interesting professor I have had so far at Midd. He has worked in many fields from being a doctor to a consultant. He is also very enthusiastic about business, he genuinely wants to teach about business and is very smart. The course starts out easy, gets hard from weeks 4-6, then gets easy again. Even when it is hard, the workload is no more than 4-5 hours a week.

Biswas a good guy and is super smart/knowledgable, but the course is far below his pay grade and he's almost too advanced to teach it. He races through certain excel exercises and finance concepts while taking other concepts at a painstakingly slow pace. He's really great in a one-on-one setting, and a lot can be learned, but when the class is this easy, it disincentivizes any real effort from the teacher or the students.

The course was interesting overall and I have learned some business concepts in this class, but I think most of these concepts covered in this class can be learned through self study. This class was effort-based, and the workload was not very intensive.

Professor Biswas clearly has a lot of experience and knowledge in the Business field. He is also very nice, passionate, and grades based on effort. The class provides the most basic and foundational knowledge to business and enterprise. I would recommend it for anyone who does not have much of a background in business, otherwise it can be slightly boring. If you do all of the foundational homework and advanced ones, you're pretty much guaranteed an A.

I had a good time in this class, sometimes content would be confusing because he moves fast. Homework submission, in the beginning, is confusing but just know to complete all assignments. If you ask questions you'll be fine, do the homework even if you're confused, overall it's a pretty chill class.
