Comment:

Mike was such a fun prof! One big paper, but he spreads it out, so you're not having to write the paper all at once. He divides it into 3 parts, so by the end, you're just putting it all together which helped out a lot. 10 small quizzes, which were super easy! Definitely would take a class with him again!! Would definitely recommend :)

Comment:

Mike is a fantastic prof who is very funny and easy going. In social marketing there are weekly quizzes that cover what was discussed in class that week, which are fairly east. This makes up the majority of the grading scheme and all that is left is an open ended group project.

Mike is great! really quirky guy who loves to try to make his lectures interesting. Weekly quizzes instead of exams which is nice. He's generous with grading since he knows researching is a fairly new concept to us. Would recommend taking this class with him for sure!

Won't tell you his expectations till you get your grades and seek clarification on how can it be so low.

Mike's good. He makes things clear. There is a story from beginning to end. If you clue in and do the work you will learn a lot and do well.

Mike is kinda kooky. It's fun, and relates to the course, but I think you have to think to get it.

Kind of a nutty guy. But I think he just likes to spice things up by being provocative sometimes.

Mike's extremely chill. His class is a lot of fun, and it's a real pleasure to be in. He's so laid back and casual with his students that it takes some getting used to... then you wish all of your profs were that way!

Comment:

Mike is great, his lectures are actually entertaining because he's a cool guy. There are weekly quizzes that you really don't need to study for, but he can be a hard marker. The marketing plan is a group project that isn't too hard. Discuss it with him and he'll give good guidance. He marks participation (20%), so talking in class is a must.

Comment:

I've never gotten so many comments on my paper. Actually, I think most profs don't even read them. But Mike marked all over the papers -- between the lines, in the margins, on another sheet. He pushes you, so you don't just recite back what the book says, you've got to write your own marketing plan and make, like, a million decisions.

Comment:

Mike is the best marketing prof at the U of L. If you don't like his jokes, try taking a class with Madore or Sameer...WAY WORSE. By the time you get to MGT 4230 you should mostly know the material and Mike helps you put it all together. He does like interesting topics, so pick something original for your marketing plan. That will help you.

Good stuff. He expects you to put together all the stuff you have learned before together. Not easy, but important.

Comment:

Mike is a classic 10 year prof who sits comfortably dealing out a poor class with inappropriate sexual comments which are not even funny or interesting. He teaches at a level 1 and expects you to product level 9 work.. How is this possible if not taught? I am upset my final marketing class was taught by him and since have lost interest in my major!
