Comment:

Nankin is by far the worst professor I've had. He makes the class MUCH harder than it should be. Expect at minimum 4-5 hours of work a week with your team. He expects you to already know everything already, so if you haven't taken the other MAR classes, you're SOL. Don't expect actual teaching in class, only reading from his hundreds of BB posts.

Comment:

Although he may be a nice guy outside of class, this professor made me leave class feeling defeated and overworked. This class could easily include real-world application, but the curriculum that he uses is from 20 years ago and often outdated. I would recommend finding another professor.

He likes to make students feel terrible. Never even uses the book and he likes to make this class a lot harder than it actually is. I wouldn't recommend this professor to anyone for anything. He is very knowledgable but it doesn't mean much unless you suck up to him.

Comment:

Crams a lot of work into the last month of class. He suspects every student to do everything the same like he does. He makes everyone feel dumb if they do assignments wrong. Do not take this class, it is very time consuming. This is by far the hardest class I have taken at Pace for no reason. He makes everything way harder than it has to be.

Comment:

Hardest class I have ever taken in my life. Professor does not explain and he randomly assigns huge projects. Expect group work because that is the entire class. Midterm was terrifying, we didn't learn anything that was on it. This class makes me want to run as far away from business as I can. I strongly advise against taking his class

Comment:

Professor Nankin is by far the best professor I have had at Pace. If you're looking for an easy class - do not take him, but then what are you paying to go to school for? He is so knowledgeable in marketing and has a ton of experience to back It up. You will worker harder than you ever have but it will really prepare you for the real world.

Starting as a freshman, I was still getting use to my college experience. Professor Nankin's BUS150 class was the last thing I needed in my college life. For my mid term test, we had to memorize the concepts of 15 CHAPTERS, PLUS OVER 10 ADDITIONAL CONCEPTS! Also, don't expect to get away with skipping any classes. Terrible Teacher.

Comment:

Nankin's BUS150 class is easily the worst class I have ever taken. He crams work into the last three weeks and does not hand back any papers to give you an update on the how well you are doing. He has very strict requirements that no one knows about and will be very upset if these standards are not met. Overall terrible teacher.

Nankin is very interesting, the majority of semester you will be working in teams to do literally everything but quizzes and test. So make sure you are on top of group members , deadlines and you will LIVE on blackboard. This man has links upon links on there just to confuse you and make you really pay attention. Go to class !!!

Comment:

Terrible professor. He does not explain anything clearly and there is a lot of extra stuff that you need to know that he does not tell you until the exams. He goes off on tangents and will ramble on for hours about stuff that is not even closely related to the course. He is very specific about what he wants but does not tell you exactly he wants.

Comment:

So. Boring. This man could ramble on about any topic for hours if given the chance. He would interrupt students whenever they spoke and tell people their opinions were incorrect. He also loves to singe out students in the middle of class and rag on them for minor mistakes. be prepared for a lot of busy work

Comment:

First off UNV 101 is already a pointless class. Nankin seems like an okay guy. But, he's very opinionated and likes to hear his own voice. He assigns pointless assignments and never really lets you out early like most UNV teachers. Expect a lot of busy work

He is awesome. Extremely smart and will explain more than necessary. He cares about his students, but if you book an appointment with him, be prepared to stay much longer than anticipated. He knows his stuff, especially the little details, and will want to help you so don't be afraid to ask.

If you get the opportunity to take a class with Professor Nankin, DO IT. It will be a challenge, and it will be worth it. You will be miles ahead of your peers when it comes time to compete against them for a job. Finally, Professor Nankin genuinely cares about your success and he offers not only information, but knowledge and wisdom as well.

Nankin is awesome! You will learn SO MUCH from him! Expect to do a lot of work, READ AND FOLLOW ALL OF HIS DIRECTIONS- he was in the military, therefore he is all about following protocol. Make sure you know your stuff or he gets pretty frustrated (rightfully so). The exams are easy to pass if you literally memorize "internalize" all definitions

Comment:

Prof. Nankin was the best professor I had so far. He cares a lot about the success of his students and he is always available to help out over email or telephone, even late at night!! At first, he might scare you off, he is very demanding, and DETAILS are everything for him. Make sure to respect his guidelines and you will be fine.

If you truly want to be in marketing. You have to take him. I felt like i was on a reality show called "Whos the next top Marketer". Its stressful, youll lose sleep, your may even cry or pull out your hair if you really put in work but its worth it!! Hes brilliant and he really wants you to succeed. I love Nankin.
