Not sure what anyone is talking about. Prof Schifmann is awesome. He has powerpoint every class which you could prob just use for the test. Theres one easy project, 1 final and 1 midterm. I think his stories are adorable and he does care about students. I would def take him again.

Hes really nice but has no idea what he's talking about. He asks the students what he assigned and if you ask what chapters are on the midterm or final he wont know. only other assignment is a wsj reflection project. He passes around a sign-in sheet but you dont really have to go. if you take notes of his powerpoints than you dont really need the

Comment:

This guy doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. Technologically illiterate. Constantly babbles and barely follows the textbook at all. He also tries to be funny but nobody laughs at his jokes so it's just awkward. If I have to listen to him talk about his expensive watches and designer clothes again it'll be too soon.

Comment:

He really didn't respect his students. He interrupted students all the time. He gave the same case for every group, but he didn't approve every group select the same material they found from websites. If you were in the latter group you must be sad because he would let you skip many slides in the powerpoint.

He is an interesting professor. Easy to do well, Hard to get an A (even though i did i know others who did not)I worked very hard in that class. he brings great points of view to the marketing perspective. workload is heavy but just do it his way and you will be good to go. You will definitely learn and you wont fear for your grade at any point

Comment:

He is too into himself and wants things from his perception. The workload is heavy, and 75% of the grade focuses on group work which can be stressful. But, he is very accessible and will help with anything. There were 4 presentations and a written paper. He is dyslexic, so he does not like works on PowerPoint slides. Grade turned out well at end.
