I love this professor! He is clear on what he expects and on the grading. I had to go out of town the week of finals and he made sure I was still able to do my final!! Gives awesome feedback on how you're doing in class. He cuts class a little shorter than usual, and is pretty funny!

Comment:

If I could take him for every marketing class at UHCL I would. He is clear on what he expects from you, and he makes class fun! He does pop quizzes, but they are easy with only two questions. He will help you if you ask, and he is incredibly knowledgeable about marketing topics. Prof. Erdem is easily my favorite prof. at UHCL.

Great professor, his lectures are always great. A big percentage of your grade is the group grade. Each week y'all create a 5 question test from the chapter. He chooses 3 groups each week. Which adds up to 150 questions in the end 30 of those questions will be the one he chooses for the Final Exam. Also BEWARE of POP QUIZZES it can POP UP ANY WEEK!

Easy Class. Show up to class and beware if you don't, you just might miss a quiz. If you miss to many, well there goes your grade. Beware of group work. Do it and do it right, if not it'll come back to bite you at the end of the semester. Easy, but don't take that for granted, an effort still must be put forth. Grading is set up that way.

You never have to go to class. Group project had 8-10 people in it & was a group grade with no direction. Class consisted of students out of each of five groups reading their 5 questions for the week. These questions made up the final exam and were exactly like students wrote them. No learning, no guidance, and not a good class. I do not recommend.

A good class to take. Will only do a final exam, few pop quizzes so you must be present in class. Also group assignments which are REALLY easy to do.

Comment:

Only gives 1 test, and that's the final. He keeps you in class for about 2 hours but just talks, very boring. The whole year is just easy group work. Sometimes I forgot I was even in this class . The professor is very nice, but I don't feel like I learned much.

Very cool & chill prof. Sad to say he isn't the best at teaching, he's just very easy. Gives random pop quizzes that are worth 20% so try not to miss class. You make your own questions for the final, so just go over them. Lectures are pointless but on the real, take him. You shouldnt make less than a B+. Dont rentbuy the book go to the library.

Amazing teacher. Pretty funny. Presents material in a manner that is easy to understand. Study the weekly questions and attend class (you don't stay the whole time anyway) and you'll definitely get an A. Final is super easy if you've studied the questions. Would take him for ALL marketing classes!!!!

He is amazing! I would take him for any marketing class and would recommend others to do so if it's part of their degree plan. The final was a piece of cake if you studied all the questions and have been paying attention. Class only lasts for about 1.5 hrs. Attend the classes only b/c he will give easy pop quizzes and some are based on attendance.

Teaching style is different then usual teachers. Work load is not a lot. Pretty straight forward and easy class. Professor has a sense of humor and uses good examples to understand material. If you do not like working in groups this class would not be recommended for you.

Class was wonderful! Professor makes you want to class every week. Looked forward to going to class. Very simple to understand the concept of Marketing the way he teaches it. He summarizes the chapter very well and you are divided into groups for the homework. I recommend sitting close to the teacher, he always tells funny stories!
