Comment:
Walker is a G. If you show up to class you'll pass. Not a lot to be graded on, but if you pay attention to lectures and show up you will be fine. Loves what he's doing keeps you involved. Haven't opened the book all year just look at the quizzes online. 99% of the test comes from his lecture.

Comment:
Took Walker for Principles of Marketing. On the first day, he will try to scare you out of the class, but past that first day, he's a great guy and loves what he does. Class was made up of 3 tests worth 100 each and 3 group projects worth 50 each. You HAVE to do them in groups, so make friends. Tests come from the book/lecture, so show up to class

Comment:
His lecture note are just pointlessly LONG and off-topic.... Same w/ the threaded discussions. If U go to his office, his won't give U a clear answer. It's so dumb. U only get graded on: 4 exams, 2/4 assignments, and a threaded discussion grade.. U won't kno the TD grade until the END!! So be sure to participate... Exams are random and unfair. Rude

Walker is not as bad as you think. Go to class and you should be able to get at least a B. Says you need to read the book, but just memorize the online practice quizzes (that cover the book) and you will do fine. Walker cares about you, but can come across as arrogant.

Go to class or else you will not do well. His tests mostly come from class and his test are all multiple choice. Go to class and take solid notes. He does not take attendance.

Comment:
There was a very limited amount of points. 4 tests, 2 assignments, and a TD grade. Discussions were too much to be convenient and did not really tie into what was on tests. The tests were worded terribly, he would never really give points for essays in the test. The tests were not enough time. The tests were usually over 100+ pages of content.

Comment:
Dr. Walker was genuinely interested in students advancing their knowledge. He does not use a textbook but rather case assignments, articles, and written lectures. His class makes sense. Yes you have to read. Yes it is a lot of reading. But it is not dry like a typical textbook - he's humorous and the articles he uses stick with you.

Worse class I've taken out of 5 semesters of classes. Cocky, mean, and expects you to understandalready know what he is going to lecture about. Papers aren't that easy, he doesn't tell you what he wants by any means.

He's very full of himself,half the time what he talks about is completely useless. His test are worded poorly and if you question one of his statements in class he will either change the subject or try and make you sound stupid. He grades papers off his opinion and there's not even a rubric, good luck on his tests. He's simply not a good teacher

HORRIBLE! His tests are super hard, he doesn't have a review for what will be on the test and hardly has any assignments to get more points. He is very judgmental to students who answer his questions and then basically tells them they are wrong if they are not his exact words. Dry personality & doesn't care about anyone but himself. DO NOT TAKE!

Best teacher I have had at NW, while lectures do go the whole time, he kept me interested. Gave real world examples of topics. Class consisted of 3 or 4 tests, 2 group projects, and one small assignment. You will be fine if you put in effort as some people didnt and their grade reflected that

Walker is not helpful when you go to him for re-explanation of topics. He is very judgmental of you and is somewhat biased towards certain students. Overall an average professor who does not seem to be passionate for what he is doing.

Comment:
Self loathing man who probably believes he is God. Seriously spent the entire semester telling students that they should value and worship customers, then followed that with telling the class that the reason he lives in St. Joe is to avoid seeing students outside of NW. Also, complained that is was too much work to spend 7hrs a week in his office

Lectures go on & on. Not required to go at all. Read the book and look over powerpoints. Tests arent too hard but not that easy. PBAs- know guide to look at at all. You have to ASK him to get what he actually wants from you. Great guy in general.

If you read the notes, book, and powerpoints you will do fine. You have to kind of teach yourself the material. you never really learn anything in the class room. you have yourself to rely on for knowing the material.

Comment:
This class is way different, but i loved it. You have one class once a week and like 4 tests. The catch is you have to get at least a 70% on every test, or you fail the class. You get one chance to retake each test before they fail you. Trust me, it's not as hard as it sounds- i found it really easy.
