Amazing professor!! He assigns homework due every class (less than one page) but there are no exams or papers. Easy 4.0. So many interesting and relevant guest lecturers from the business world. Absolutely take him and this class!

Comment:

Tesler is a great professor, he is really interesting and gives plenty of real world examples. He does expect a lot though. For every class, there is a homework assignment. The assignments are not hard, they just take time and thought. Additionally, he never actually grades the assignments, so you don't know how well your doing until the end.

No slides for his class - He is a retail consultant and has a lot of knowledge on the subject. Homework every week and pushes you to be creative as opposed to being conventional with your ideas. His classes are very engaging,

I took Tesler for GR523 and he is honestly one of my favorite professors. I did my undergrad at Bentley and he's definitely top 3 professors I have had there. His classes are all lectures but he doesn't use PowerPoint he just talks and other students chime in to what he talks about. There's homework due every night (2 pages usually) but it's easy

By far the best professor I've had at Bentley. He made the class interesting and the guy knows what he's talking about. If you're worried about too much homework, it's not an issue. It's a chill class that you will actually enjoy and is great if you want to go into retail.

Really enjoyed the marketing segment of GB 214 because of Mike. Having no experience in Marketing before the class, Tesler's energy and expertise really convinced me to declare my major as marketing. Hope to take more classes with him down the line!

Provides interesting insight from his real world experience and is an all around nice guy. Tries to make class fun and interactive for a GB class. He helped me to participate more in class which also helped me to do better in my other classes. One of my favorite professors at Bentley!

Amazing professor. He puts responsibility on the students. Preparing/participating in class is your responsibility,so what you put in is what you get out. Due to that,it was one of my most rewarding classes. Projects helped me see how to analyze info when it's not so clean. One on one discussions very helpful. One of my best experiences at Bentley.

Prof. Tesler should not be considered a Sports Marketing professor. He does not know much about the topic, and only discusses headlines. You will not learn anything concrete from this class. Avoid taking him.

Comment:

Michael isn't a professor, he is a discussion moderator with no experience or knowledge of sports marketing. Every class he came in with a list of sports topics, which weren't always marketing related, written on a piece of paper and asked the class to discuss them. He is relatively easy, but you won't learn a thing.

Not a great professor. He likes to talk about his opinion and isn't very helpful. I would not recommend a class with him.

Comment:

Awful professor, very opinionated and if your opinion doesn't match his than forget about getting a good grade in this class. Very harsh grader with little direction or feedback on assignments. It seems like he just randomly assigns a number to your assignment rather than an actual grade.
