Comment:

This Professor gives only written test. Does not care if student pass or not he just teaches as per him, so you better get work the first time around cause he will not go over it. He is not approachable as well. I spent the entire semester afraid to speak with him. Because of his insults to othes and to my surprise i other student felt the same

I would not recommend taking his class. He is irritating, talks nonstop and doesn't interact with his students. His exams are essay type. I wonder if he is setting up his student to fail.

Comment:

Prof. Irby is a good professor. During his lectures he gives examples to make you understand the material. Attendance its important since taking notes is what is going to help you pass the exams. He gives study sheets if you study from that you will pass the class. Dont be afraid! You just have to work for your grade. Ignore his personality!

Comment:

I took him and although a lot of what has been said is true, here's what hasnt been said: Irby cares. Of course he makes you work for your grade- its college. He teaches as if you're in Harvard but if you care to learn, the tools he teaches can be used for other courses. Don't be shy, go to his office hours!

Comment:

He does not not believe in multiple choice. Every test he gives you will be short answers except for the final. The final will have short answers and multiple choice only because he is not the one that makes the test. so if you know someone in another mkt 11 class always exchange notes with them because the final you will need it. worse grader ever

Comment:

Terrible at teaching, he skips over most of the chapters and tells nothing, Can't comprehend him when he talks, not clear with requirements, VERY rude when asked questions, GIVES EXAMS AND MARKS THEM WRONG IF THEY AREN'T EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID. Deducts much more points than necessary, one wrong word will lose you 20/100 points needed. Horrible

Really good professor. Teaches the class very much like a 4 year college. His exams require a lot of writing but if you study the study sheet, you will do just fine.

Comment:

Everyone knows that he is the only Prof teaching MKT48 so we're all screwed. His test are awful, I don't even know where to start because I'm still overwhelmed thinking about it. He doesn't use blackboard and his lectures are irrelevant. I know more about his daughter, love for tennis and his marriage than I do for marketing. Just godspeed everyone

Comment:

Irby is pretty pretentious to say the least. Although he is arrogant beyond his worth, there is allot that can be learned from him. Irby didnt know much about marketing but he did know business. My biggest critique is he thinks low of BCC student which is shamefull because he teaches there( the irony)

Comment:

Not a good professor at all. He will base your final grade off all the tests he gives you so theres really no other way to pass unless you do really good on those tests. He doesnt care about his students, doesnt care if you're failing and wont help you improve in class. He is easily one of the worst professors I've ever had.

Comment:

He is one of the worst teachers I had, he will shut you down if you ask a question. No feedback from the students at all. All he talks is about his wall street gigs. Once he said that he often thinks about how many years of his life he spent in school. He said, for what? Inferring that teaching at BCC was not worth his achievements. Feel sorry f

Comment:

Prof. Irby doesn't encourage class participation and will spend the entire class talking without asking a single question. He gives test that are difficult to study for and to pass. Plus he also gives little to no variety in his examples so I question his overall knowledge in Marketing.

I hope the classes I need to take is not him. He is not at all helpful. He doesn't teaches the students so they can pass his exam. He doesn't like for the students to ask questions.

It annoys him for students to ask questions. The lectures do not prepare students for the exam. He only gives written exam. He do not give feed back to the student when he returns the assignments, exams back.
