Economics of Entertainment
This course will focus on the unusual economics of the entertainment industry and the associated management challenges. The sessions will cover the basic economics of entertainment, then focus specifically on the music and movie industries, plus one other that will vary from year to year. Classes will consist of lecture and discussion, as well as speakers from the relevant industries. The primary student deliverable will be a twenty minute documentary-style production in which student teams present findings of their research into specific industries within the broader industries studied in class, e.g., rock, classical or rap within music, blockbusters within music, etc.

Glenn is extremely unclear and grades arbitrarily. He has no rubric or syllabus outlining any of his assignments in this class, leaving students confused and unsure of how to properly complete assignments. He grades randomly with no feedback and is not approachable. I was extremely excited to take this class but Glenn squandered my excitement.

glenn is the best professor i had in college, and it wasn't close. it wouldn't be a stretch to say he's changed my life by helping me build perspective. he's a cool dude. he's not easy, but if you put the time and work in, he cares enough to go more than the extra mile. he genuinely cares about his students. i cannot recommend too highly.

I took Micro with Glenn my freshman year and disliked it a lot. However, this class seemed so interesting so I chose to take it, and I was not let down. There are a lot of guest lecturers; Glenn knows so many cool people. He really likes participation and having a conversation in class, which led to very interesting discussions.

Glenn is a really good professor who really strives to give the students the best learning experience. So many incredible and inspiring guests speakers. If you want to go into the entertainment industry, this is a MUST TAKE. Glenn also sends internship and job opportunities in the entertainment industry to the class on a regular basis.
