Comment:

I took his online Principles of Marketing class over the winter break and it was a tonnnn of work. Lectures, videos, and extended paragraph discussions every day for two weeks. But, then again, how else do you expect to earn 3 credits in twelve days time? He was very helpful through emails and knowledgeable. It was a lot of work, but so worth it.

Comment:

Great professor. Answers any questions asked clearly. Accepts any answer on exam as you long as you provide evidence for your reasoning. Textbook is not necessary to do well. Definitely print power points and bring to class, much easier to take notes. Lecture is sometimes dry, but easy to grasp concepts and learn. Thoroughly enjoy his class.

Erickson is a great guy and he made the course extremely interesting. He knows his stuff. If you have an issue or problem he was just an email away. I would definately take another course from him if given the opportunity.

Comment:

classes are definitely different online vs in person, but as far as online, this class has been really easy. don't need book, gives you docs that outline everything & all of the hw lines up with how the test will go. need to dedicate some time, but it's not too awful! deadlines are very flexible.-thank god. seems really nice at least via e-mails!

Comment:

Sadly Erickson is given terribly boring material to teach with, but he doesn't do anything creative with the class to make it more interesting. He's a nice guy though, but he won't make class fun, or the material. Class is a pretty easy time, don't even pay attention and still got an A!

Be concise on hw. Take the old exams he gives and you should be fine because the questions are exactly the same!

Comment:

Scott is a nice guy who knows what he is talking about. He has reverted back to essay tests which are very, very long and take about 2 hours. He seems to have some trouble controlling the amount of talking in the classroom though. Provides good examples for most everything. No too much homework.

Comment:

Same as everyone else. Tests questions are confusing and not worth arguing because the right answer is "his" interpretation of the market/question. Nothing comes out of the book, and I was happy to get half my money back. Print PPT's b4 class, and do the best you can understanding "his" marketing world, and not the real thing.

Comment:

This class was my dread, and it made me hate it even more because I couldn't take it pass/fail. Scott gives good examples, he's kind of boring, but his tests are rediculous. I seriously had tough time with the tricky examples he gave and I'm a B's and A student. TAKE PASS/FAIL IF YOU CAN!

Comment:

I know my stuff but the tests make me feel as though I have no idea what i'm talking about. Gives lots of examples and makes things clear and understandable but tricks you on the test. Reallly gets me mad. He also looks like a gorilla which gets distracting...

Comment:

It's a good class to take, but like everyone has said, his tests are awful. I think he tries to make the class average low on purpose. He gives good examples in class, and regardless of your grade you'll learn a lot. Take it pass/fail if you can.

Comment:

Even if you know the material, there's no guarentee a good grade on the tests. The multiple choice is tricky, and don't even try to argue your point because he's not having it. Don't bother reading the book, just go to class and take notes on the powerpoints, that's all ya need.. he's alright tho

He knows his stuff and gives good examples, but his tests suck. He tries to trick you on purpose and wont listen to anything you try to say...Class is boring as well, but you should go to understand material.

Swell guy, can tell he hates teaching to large class. Very clear; tests are a little tricky. However, there is not a lot of work throughout the semester. Easy B, need to study hard for an A though.

he's not the greatest teacher, but he gives lots of clear examples. the only thing is that he tests your knowledge of the outline, not the material. the class is still pretty easy, though.

Comment:

Lots of powerpoint & not very helpful. Although he uses movies and clips to make the class a bit more interesting. But his tests are hard and he is very picky about your written answers since the tests are essay form. Not very negotiable
