Overall, a very good professor. Even though I'm not interested in marketing, Kovacevich definitely taught me useful knowledge that can be applicable to my future. The final, midterm, and group project is work 28.6% each. The remainder of your grade is participation. Midterm (MC & short essay) and Final (MC) were tougher than most would expect.

The professor is extremely kind and friendly. He cares so much about his students. The class itself is very easy but I did not feel like I learned much from it. It is an easy A but it will not challenge you at all. For the exams, which are the bulk of your grade, do the study guide thoroughly and you will get good grades.

Pretty good class overall, it's basically common sense with vocabulary. Show up to lecture, skim the readings, and memorize all the terms and you'll be fine. However, group project is pretty crucial in determining your grade. Professor is accessible, knowledgable, and decent at making a boring subject interesting.

Really nice and caring professor. Extremely knowledgable. Father figure. Tests are pretty average--read the book/go to the lectures and take good notes and you'll do fine. Attendance isn't mandatory, but he gives out random attendance quizzes. *Important group project at the end of the year*. Overall, pretty good class/typical for Marshall.

I was not particularly interested in marketing but I think the class is fine for most people. His lectures can be kind of boring but he tries his best to make it more interesting. Attendance is not mandatory but he occasionally takes attendance quizzes.

Rex is a really kind professor. His teaching is a little bit boring but you can always is easy to approach and he would try his best to solve your problem. Not only the marketing content would be taught but also other true meaning of life would be told during his last class. Very helpful on your focus and inspirational for your whole life!

Overall an average class and average professor. Personality-wise, he's a nice man, but teaching-wise, meh. Unclear expectations for participation, yet a huge portion of the grade. Group project also can affect how you do in the class. Ended up with a B despite doing well on exams, so if you prefer test-based classes, don't go with Kovacevich.

Incredible professor in Marshall which is rare. Very easygoing, class makes sense, and you know what is expected of you. Midterm, final, and group project. Other than that go to lecture, study the slides and you'll get an A in the class. Tests are relatively easy if you read the book and memorize the lecture slides.

He tries to make his lectures funny. One of the best professors I've had in SC. If you read the textbook and go to lectures you will easily get an A. Group project might screw you over though depending on who your teammates are. Definitely recommended. Uses Arkaive check-in randomly.

Rex is a nice guy - genuinely interested in his students. However, there's a preference to people in greek life. My team had struggled a lot during the marketing simulation (which is HORRIBLE) - and he barely helped. Also, he gave me NEGATIVE participation grades in things I had clearly been or done at least 75% of. All in all, disappointed

Rex is the best kind of professor - cared about his students and about the material. Made clear his expectations, fair grading style (about 70% exams, 30% proj and part). Exam questions constructed such that those with only topical knowledge would miss a good amount, which is good because it allowed students to distinguish themselves

Class is pretty boring. Usually didn't take attendance but participation points count towards your grade. His lectures make sense but won't help you pass the relatively difficult midtermfinal. Study with the textbook and his lectures and you should be fine. Hard to get a high grade because of curveamount of students in class.

Rex is a great prof. He's got a lot business experience, has a good sense of humor to keep lectures interesting, and you get the sense that he really does care about his students. I would highly recommend him if you are taking 307. As far as grades go it's what you're used to with Marshall: easy to get a B, hard to get an A. No busywork.

Take this guy. Father figure. Knows what he's talking about. Last class what where he told stories and said he was glad to be a part of our "educational journey". Always incorporates jokes in lecture to keep it light. Take this guy seriously
