Comment:
Lousy, arrogant professor - not encouraging or conducive to learning at all. Monotone lectures that were difficult to follow, and power point slides that served in place of text were horrible. He dodged every question in class, expressed no interest in real-life scenarios, and insulted engineers at every opportunity.

Dr. Alba wins the best professor award consistently from the graduating MBA program. Take his course and it's no wonder. He's a strange bird and he'll spam you inbox but the guy's a genius.

Hard class (a lot of information) but excellent teacher. Keeps the topics moving and very interesting. Tests are hard as they are not multiple choise but rather memorization.

Comment:
not a very good professor. Seemed like he would rather be somewhere else. Text boot that he compiled was horrible - all HBR/consultants writing in marketing cliches. Maybe he would rather been at Harvard... Don't ask about applications in real work, apparently he doesn't have any of experience other than academia- dodged every question.

Comment:
has a grasp on psychology and marketing, but not a good teacher. Expectations are vague, and teaches from cases studies from Harvard (written in marketing consulting jargon) Very underwhelming as a teacher, best way to get rhough class is to memorize everything and have him explicitly tell you want he is expecting.

Comment:
Alba is a marketing expert. He does not understand the functions of finance or economics, so be weary of his comparisons, but he is on point with mktng concepts. Tests based on memorization rather than useful concepts. Uses a lot of helpful real world examples (articles etc) but many are outdated. Overall, good prof if taken with a grain of salt.
