Cons: Boring to sit through lecture, higher than average course work assigned. Pros: Fair marker. Spends time helping you out during office hours. Nice and friendly guy. Would recomend taking his course, however,keep note of course work level.

Comment:

Lectures are a pain to sit through, and people only show up during the midterm. Assignments could be a little more clear on expectations and T.A.'s mark the assignments pretty hard, good thing they're only worth 5%.

Pretty boring class and teacher, but he prepares great lecture notes. I asked a question at a TA about an assignment and she got offended and snapped at me. lol. At least they're only worth 5% apiece.

Not the most interesting course or prof, but once you get to the part with Briton, you want him back - WAY BETTER IN RETROSPECT!

Yes he is a boring lecturer. Material is interesting espcially if you like marketing. Assignments were ok, also pretty boring. So I guess the course was ok... but just ok.

Oh GOD! The rumors are actually TRUE! He's boring, I actually didn't expect this course to be sooo extremely economical/marketing. Where's the geography in all this? Darn it cause it's a full year course! Coffee is highly recommended for class!

Soup yourself up on coffee before class because you will fall asleep. Oh man. The only time he looked interested in his own lecture was on the last day he was teaching us.
