I liked him alot. Good lectures. Gave lots of advance notice regarding due dates and expectations. Cases were posted well in advance of due dates, but don't leave it to the last minute!

Comment:

During my online summer course with J.L. he was a master at pulling vanishing acts. Cancelled class due to a thunderstorm, a flight delay, and more. Pushed everything to the end of term so final paper and exam was on same day. Syllabus full of incorrect due dates. Feel I taught myself. He has potential if he wasn't so distant. Good at lectures!

Whole class grade depends on 3 things: mid-term, final, and term-paper. Hard grader, no feedback provided. Will attempt to avoid this prof.

One of the most caring profs I have met. He obviously teaches because he loves it, not because he needs to. Incredibly well respected and sought after within the industry.

Great prof! took ORGB 2214 with him as well. He keeps his lectures interesting and he doesnt read off of a powerpoint, and uses videos in class! His grading scheme is clear, and if you do the reading and attend class there is no reason you wont get an A. Gives fantastic practice questions for quizzez and exams, usually no mid-term.

Great teacher, had him for OB 2214. Liked his teaching style. One major assignment, one group paper, and a final exam. Usually on-time for classes.

Final project instead of an exam was really great although it was 70% of the mark and a group project. Prof was nice and positive, replied to emails and gave good feedback. Enjoyed this class.

Comment:

I took both Marketing Research and Marketing Strategy with J.L. at the same time. Very good prof and very interesting. He's to the point and you will learn a lot. No finals, but lots of work at the end of the semester. Worth it -- learned lots from both of these classes.

Good teacher but slow to return emails. Classes are short and to the point. Expect the class average to be around 70. Don't just recite information, give examples to support on assignmnets. JL expected most people to finish the final exam in 1.5 hours but most people did not finish after 3 hours.
