Peter is nice, but he taught nothing! Just reading the slides and making some illogical comments. Overall, stupid class.

Not like my review matters cause he's leaving the School of Business but Peter if you ever see this, you are a beauty. Don't Change. My favorite teacher this term by far. You don't even try to be funny but somehow your lectures are always hilarious and engaging and made marketing fun. Thanks for a fun semester.

Super unorganized prof, he always comes to class unprepared. When you try to ask him a question he never answers them straight on, he just goes on tangents leaving you more confused than you were before. Even though he sucks at teaching, his tests are easy and he let our class use cheat sheets.

The 4.0 points are so misleading. I basically learned by myself in the whole semester. The powerpoint he used is different from the one he gave us. Take another prof.

Agree with the previous comments. He didn't put effort into teaching this year. The whole class is illogical and hard to follow.

Comment:

I really don't understand why he got 4.3 points here. Peter is nice honestly, but his class just points less and boring. I feel disturbed when he keeps saying you know, like, ahhhhh in one sentence. Tests are based on some common senses. If you are international students, please avoid him cause these senses are not common to you.

Great prof but boring class. Honestly, you'll find halfway through the semester that your better off doing something else during class time. The material is very dry. - Positives: exams are easy/fair, Peter is always so enthusiastic about what he teaches

Peter is easy to listen to and his lectures are always interesting; sometimes they're downright funny. He clearly loves Marketing, and I'd definitely take any other classes he taught if I needed the credits.

Comment:

He is a wonderful guy and very passionate about marketing. Problem is this course only requires memorization of terms/ideas so you don't really need a very good professor. Tests were pretty typical, not too easy, not too hard. class average for both midterms was around 70. Group project is pretty casual and he graded better than the class did

Peter was one of my favourite university profs. He was so passionate about marketing and really enjoyed teaching it. The tests aren't too tough just require a bit of memorizing. Overall, I would highly recommend him.

Peter made the information interesting and often used entertaining examples. The exams are majorly definition/term based so make sure to study those!

Easy A for the most past. Easy first two MC midterms completely based on notestextbook, with high averages. Final exam was a curveball very different than the midterms, lots of multi-part scenario questions and specific content from his areas of interest and notes (not textbook). Regular class attendance not required. Recommended with this prof.

Funny and nice prof, but you don't have to go to class. Just read the lecture notes and the textbook (all, not just pages he assigns) and you can ace the exams. I never went to class + used an old textbook and still aced every exam. One group presentation, half the grade is determined by teacher, the rest by the class.

Great overall prof! You can tell he's super passionate about what he does. Also tries to make lectures more interesting with funny videos and commercials. Don't bother reading the text book; tests are directly off powerpoint slides. Tests are also ridiculously easy.

Comment:

He's a nice guy and tries to make class better with lots of good videos but the content is almost common sense. It's boring, but easy, though reading the textbook will help with exam writing. Class is not mandatory as notes are posted and he basically repeats them and show videos during class time.
