Carleen Kerttula Discusses the Meaning of Prof+Prof (Professional Plus Professor)
What Prof + Prof Students are Saying
“The professional would come in with additional questions or comments that really made us think about the facts of the case, and how we would react in the situation. His ability to give it gravity by saying "here's how it would really play out" was unique and thought-provoking.”
“Things move so quickly in business. While our professors do their best to stay on top of everything, the professional is working every day in the trenches and can provide real-time examples. Not just case studies or articles of past examples.”
"Many professors like to come in with their perfect plans and key points to make and execute class perfectly. Not. Real. Life. The curve balls and sideways conversations added by the professionals are excellent.”
