Comment:

Dr. Hoyle is very smart and caring. Unfortunately, he has a difficult time sharing his wisdom. Easiest class ever. Can easily get an A without buying the textbook. Client project is a breeze. Class lectures are pointless to go to.

Dr. Hoyles class is easy but beneficial. He would rather teach his students the material than try to trick them or make it overly complicated.

Comment:

Don't buy the book! The lectures quite literally put people to sleep. He goes off on irrelevant tangents for nearly the entire class. Students don't respect him and usually you can barely hear him over everyone talking because students are trying to learn the content on their own.

Comment:

Hoyle has a lot of experience in sales but has very boring lectures and a poorly structured class. No one pays attention because you don't have to, don't buy the book, and don't ask questions on the project because he'll vaguely answer them. I didn't learn one thing in this class.

Comment:

Okay, this class started out like any other class, moderate homework, attendance sign-in sheet, presentations, partner projects. Then half way through the class he cancelled ALL classes until the final (online final, mandatory class meeting). I thought that was cool but he does not use BlackBoard regularly and takes awhile to grade/answer emails.

Jeff is great! He's very considerate of your other classes/schedules. He wants to see you succeed. Exams were online and he believes in open book exams. I suggest reading the book before taking the exam to save time. Our final was a 200 word review on how we liked the class and took away from it. I would highly recommend taking this class with him.

Comment:

Dr. Hoyle was a very solid professor. The course was really easy but he was somewhat disorganized. If you do assignment you will get a good grade and all exams are take home. There is a group project but again if you do it decently well you will do fine. The class was somewhat dry as a whole but it was an easy A.

I learned nothing, but I got an A. He's big on clicker use. You only get a few points a day for it, but it adds up. Just show up to class and pay attention when you need to use the clicker. Otherwise, just sit on your phone or laptop.

This class is pointless. I did not learn anything all semester except the five pillars! really easy class tho, just show up and use the clicker and you will get an A no problem. Very nice guy, just isn't organized at all,and loves to get off topic

Easiest class I've ever taken. If you are taking this to see if you're interesting in Marketing I would recommend not taking it. I didn't learn a single thing in this class. You don't necessarily needs to even go to class but if you do you can sit on your laptop all hour and get an A. How is this even a college course? lol

He is a really good guy, I've had him a few times now. Not all that great of a professor, but the class is easy so that doesn't suck. Pretty disorganized but passionate. Decent material, poorly executed, if you want an easy A or B, take Hoyle.

Class is very easy, I think I slept everyday in class along with 90% of the other people in class. Very understanding of things, allowed our group to do a presentation during his office hours for a grade, does show some good youtube videos though.

Comment:

Jeff does not expect much from his students except that you show up to class. I did not get any points off the whole class because attendance is most of the grade. Yu can go and sleep if you want but it is the easiest class I have taken by far and Hoyle is a boring teacher but a great marketing mind. Take this class if you want an A

Super easy class, however he stands in front of the class and rambles about nothing relevant all hour. I was interested in marketing before and after not at all.
