Doug is a great teacher, he tries to relate to his student so they can understand things better. He makes coming to class worth it and doesn't force material down your throat. I highly suggest anybody whos interested in business take one of his classes.

He is hilarious and makes early morning classes so fun. He only has tests, so you have to study. If you skip class, you'll miss what is going to be one the test, because he rarely uses the book. He also gives away questions on the exams, and he will round your grade at the end if you show up regularly. Worth it if you show up!!

Doug is pretty laid back and funny but don't be fooled - GO TO CLASS!! We had two exams in the semester (not including the final) which covered only a few major items discussed in lecture. During class, he often gets side-tracked (annoying) but he takes the sales process seriously.

I LOVE DOUG! He is awesome. I have him at 8 AM and I have never been more excited to wake up for an 8 AM class. If you skip this class, you may as well drop out of school! No one should want to miss his class. It's very easy and he has an AMAZING sense of humor! To be honest, he isn't really that bad to look at either, kinda hot! TAKE HIM!

Comment:

Great teachers! You will learn a ton if you actually come to class and pay attention. You will have a hard time on the tests if you skip class a lot, but if you go to class regularly and study the powerpoints and examples he gives you in class, the tests are really easy. And he keeps the class interesting with his funny sense of humor! Take him!!

Doug is a great professor. He knows what he is talking about and is very helpful. He is more than willing to lend out a hand and if you go to class, take his notes, and pay attention to what he tells you will be on the test you will get an easy A!!!

Comment:

A sense of humor is a must for his class. Doug has some quick-witted & raunchy jokes which keep your attention. He has 20 yrs experience in the sales business and knows his stuff. I took this during the summer & it was easy but still challenging. Tests are 25 MC (3 pts each) & 1 essay totaling 100 pts. An A is possible but you have to work for it.

Doug keeps your attention in while in class. He brings the information of Marketing to a student's level. Still working and traveling within the field, he uses real world experiences and examples to clarify his course. The course is not a guaranteed "A", but he is very passionate about the course material and is willing to help if asked.

If you aren't an athlete or in his fraternity, he doesn't like you. I switched to a different teacher and got an A.

This class was a joke. Doug is a joke. If you want an easy A, take him; if you want to learn something, avoid him. He acts like 19 year old fraternity boy. Yeah, he's full of energy, but he's an idiot.
