The group project he gave us was one of most vague things ever, those that handed the project late lost 25% or the project mark. His quizzes are easy, but the midterm is totally different and much more difficult.

Richard's a fantastic instructor who uses real-life examples and hands-on activities to teach students how to think like a marketer. He also makes an effort to know his students, which encourages you to participate and get to know your peers since you're not just a random student in his class!

Love this guy. So sweet. So funny. Very helpful and really wants to see his student do well. There is a quiz every other week on the material covered in class so you do have to show up. He is very good teacher and really explains things well

Richard is like your dorky dad who makes corny jokes that only he laughs at and embarrasses you in front of your friends - and I'm saying that in a loving way, its funny lol. Dedicates a decent amount of marks to participation, so if you're shy be prepared to lose out on marks. Friendly, happy, knowledgeable in his field. Gives quizzes so read up!

Fairly easy class with no homework but chapter quizzes every second week (only 10 questions). Partner project as part of your final mark. Lectures are a bit long but in class group work helps solidify chapter concepts. Nice prof, answers any questions and fairly easy class.

I didn't particularly enjoy Simon as a professor. His class was fairly entertaining but I felt like he was a very unfair marker. He wasn't clear on what he expected on the term project, then deducted marks for missing parts that we were never told about. His multiple choice are also not easy.

Richard is so entertaining, I could listen to him talk all day. Also hilarious, in that he can't remember most students names. Very knowledgeable in the subject and engaging during class, would definitely recommend and am eager to take another class with him in the future.

Before I entered this class, I didn't think I would like marketing but Richard made this class very enjoyable. His exams are quite challenging (be careful on reading the questions carefully), but the class activities are fun and interesting and you learn a lot. Do your homework, pay attention and participate in class and you'll do fine.

Very nice guy, a little too nice. Tests are hard (all multiple choice) and require reading very long chapters multiple times.

You will learn a lot from this prof. He is an extremely hard marker, but he's setting you up for success. I would definitely take a class with him again

Mr Simon is a hard teacher. This was my first course at kwantlen since I have been out of highschool which is 2 years. He is a hard marker, makes you feel belittled, and favours people!! So many people in my class are failing. He rushed through the notes and makes us do pointless activeties. I did not pay over $500.00 that I would teach to myself!!

Richard tried to hock his socks via a 1 hour "lesson" (he is affiliated with a sock company) and told us that he WASN'T trying to sell them to us. He made sure to let us know where we can buy them. This man likes to play favorites with students. I missed one class and as a result he tried to belittle me repeatedly in-class whenever he got the ch

You can learn ALOT from his class but you better be a super star in class if you want to get a decent grade. He is a terms freak, he will randomly ask you what certain word means in your presentation

OH man those pants NEED to go! Other than that, Marketing 1199 is one of the only classes I actually look forward to. He relates concepts in chapter notes (which are incredibly handy for quizzes) to real-life situations. I didn't get a bad grade, but I know I could have done more. Kind of cheesy, but at least he's not a boring robot. Good guy.

Yes, Simon is an extremely hard marker and it feels like it can be next to impossible to get a good grade. But other than that he is a nice guy and you really do learn a lot.
