Comment:

He is a nice guy who does care. If your mental capacity is above a five year old's then you'll get an A. The only thing I learned in the class was about his personal life, a waste of my time and money.

He is a legend. If you ever have this man in your presence, you bow down. There is work involved in this class, but its all easy and on the computer. He is also the head of the cohort program, so he can give you a LOT of advice. Favorite professor at Fordham, no question.

Professor King is a riot. He has a very different teaching style that often includes personal stories that he tries to tie into whatever the class objective is. Great guy who genuinely cares about his students. He even had us take a class picture so he could remember us.

King was great. Easy class, so if you are a marketing major and want to actually learn, I probably wouldn't recommend him. Nice guy who cared about his students.

Larry King was an awesome professor! He is very straight forward with what he wants. Do your work and read your text book and you will get a good grade! He tells you what to study for exams.

He is a great teacher and super easy if you do all that is required and it is not a lot. The final is online and his tests are super simple, just the special terms of the book.

King is awesome, I literally wish all my other classes were as easy as his course. He is literally there for you and always values communicating with his students. Exams are easy there is no way you will not do well. He is the always willing to make time for his students. One of my favorite professors at Fordham.

Good class with great professor. As long as you do well on the quizzes and group presentations you should be able to get an A. Exams can be tricky but only count for 15% of your grade. Professor King makes class enjoyable and shares great business stories. Highly recommended.

Comment:

Literally impossible not to get an A. Most of the class are easy group presentations, you get a 1/4 of a grade increase just for doing homework, the midterms and final are extremely straightforward. You may not learn and retain that much, but it will certainly boost your GPA.

Comment:

Class is mostly half presentations, half exams. Go into the class with a few friends and get them in your presentation group. Memorize all the vocab words from the chapters before the test and you'll get a good grade. Also if you do all the current event articles, you get a 2.5 points extra credit on your final grade. Awesome professor, take him.

Comment:

An easy A, but you won't learn anything. 50% of the grade is based on group projects and the other 50% is 3 multiple choice tests. Class is pointless, but teach yourself definitions from the book and you'll be golden. Recommended as a GPA booster, but NOT recommended for those looking to learn about marketing/sharpen their skills (or much else).

Comment:

Prof. King is the easiest professor you will ever take (I got an A)! However, that being said as a Marketing major I have to say that I learned nothing but basic definitions (tests are all multiple choice definition based). I had a lot of fun with the final group project though where I did use my Marketing skills :)

Larry King is great. Class is easy. Material is pretty straightforward and interesting if you're interested in marketing. You work in groups and shoot a commercial as the final project. If you can take him, definitely do so! Your GPA will thank you! (I got an A)

Larry King is the man!! Seriously, he's the best teacher ever. No homework, optional extra credit assignments, he shows videos just about every class, and talks for the rest of the class. Three tests all semester, which are 50 multiple choice questions and he literally shows you what's gonna be on the test. TAKE HIM!

Yeah, you don't learn unless you read, and you won't do well unless you study hard. Study the terms/read the sections with the words in them that he outlines for you, and you'll be in good shape for every exam. Minimal work throughout the course with a little push right before tests and the project. He's funny, too. I'm taking him again.

DOESN't TEACH ANYTHING! seriously there is no class lecture, no homework nothing. YOU READ YOUR BOOK. All he does is take your exam which even my mom can do. You wont learn anything in this class other then the definitions you read urself in book! Extremely hard midterms and finals. Not recomended.

Yea hes a nice guy and the tests are easy. But you will have to teach yourself from the textbook and go to class because attendance is mandatory.
