Comment:

GB 301 - Marketing. Minor is really smart, but really boring. Class is awful and you dont really get much out of it. However, his tests are straight forward and if you read/study you can easily pull a 4.0 in the class. I wouldnt recommend him as a project leader though - too strict and grading is kinda harsh.

Comment:

Very difficult to understand. He changes his mind frequently and piles on unnecessary work for the project. Worst speller I've ever seen, and he spends more time challenging the book than teaching. He doesn't know what he's doing, although he seems to love marketing. I'd never take him again, as a marketing major.

Comment:

Minor is a smart dude and definitely passionate about marketing. But as professor, he's TERRIBLE and is probably the most disorganized human being ever. AVOID taking him as a project leader as his directions are EXTREMELY unclear and his grading rubrics are subject to change every other day. He demands too much and needs to make more firm decisions

Comment:

HORRIBLE PROFESSOR! Knows marketing but can't teach in any way. The midterm and final are directly from the textbook's question bank, so don't worry about having to think about marketing or applying concepts, just memorize the examples used in the book.

Comment:

Direct quote - The purpose of business is not to be profitable, its to serve a higher purpose. Randomly capitalizes things in the middle of sentences and his spelling is atrocious. I can't believe this guy is teaching here. I'd rather kill myself than sit through this class again. Doesn't know the difference between revenue and income. AVOID!!!

Comment:

I had him for both marketing and project - Probably the worse project teacher to get out of the three. He is the hardest and wicked nit picky. Isn't clear. As long as study for midterm, you will do fine. Talks very fast and plays with his mustach A LOT.... Beware, he mispronounced our company so many times... IT's PUMA not Puee-ma!!!

Comment:

Starts off the semster as a good professor and progressively gets worse; more demanding, unclear, inconsistent, and miserable. Very passionate about marketing but not a very good communicator. Likes to hear himself talk. Every other word out of his mouth is mmmmmk.

Comment:

Minor knows a lot about marketing and has so much knowledge. At the same time, the guidelines for the projects and study guides for the final and mid-term are very demanding. He wants you to do a lot of work. But he grades the exams somewhat leniently. And you'll do well on the paper/projects if you follow the guidelines carefully. Be ready to work

Comment:

Very Enthusiastic about Marketing. If you study properly then the tests are not to bad! However, there are only 2 tests, midterm and final, and they are 80% of your grade. the other 20% is made up of a paper (4 pages) which is very easy to write! Very willing to help out with questions!

Wow........ I seriously think I knew more about marketing and project before taking this class. He's a nice guy but I spent more time trying to stay awake than actually learning. Gota give him credit for trying, but the class is so unclear sometimes.

God help you if he is your professor. He can't spell, so his notes are very unclear. He also seems to think he knows more than actually does... even if you prove him wrong, he will stand by his incorrect answers. Finally, after 14 weeks of class, he still calls me by the wrong name.

He's a jerk and extremely unhelpful. Thoroughly impressed with himself and thinks marketing is the only important thing in business. Don't take him.

Does not listen to students, rewords what you say into what he wants to hear. Uses such words as "Diagramatically" and phrases as "ok, lets say cats don't eat anymore" No physical proof that he actually has a degree in ANYTHING. Idiot!
