Comment:

Group project was amazing because I had an amazing partner. the lectures are very informative and he brings real world experience to the class. he holds students to a high standard which and comes off harsh sometimes but it wasn't from a hateful place. I genuinely felt like he cared about our success as students and that is rare at Wichita State.

Dr. Porter is one of the best professors at WSU! Respect him and he will respect you in return. He has amazing advice that you can apply to your life! You'll need to WORK HARD to earn an A in this class! KNOW the study guide by heart for the tests!! Show up to class, take lots of notes, and participate in the lectures. Get to know Dr. Porter!

It's always nice when a professor teaches a subject that they actually have experience in. What I have learned from this class is something that I can apply to various facets of my life. Test were part MC and essay. Prior to the test, he gives you the essay questions that are on the test, and a few extras. I highly recommend this professor.

I enjoyed this class! There are roles lay sales presentations so make sure to pay attention in class and follow the rubrics exactly to earn your points. Tests aren't hard but you need to memorize his definitions he gives in class to get the essay points!

Comment:

Dr. Porter is the best professor I've had at Wichita State. Yes, his tests are hard and in 609 the questions are all essay. However, Dr. Porter gives you multiple opportunities to do well on the tests. Unlike some professors who "sugar coat" things, Dr. Porter will be completely honest with how things are outside of the classroom.

Loved this class! Tests are long but he tells you what to study. Attend class and study, you will do fine. Paper is long but not to hard, does a great ob of explaining what he expects for it. Funny stories that help relate to class. I will be taking MKT 609 from him as well!

Dr. Porter is a great teacher!To do well, you must attend class. He is very helpful and breaks the content down to where it's understandable. Tests are pretty straight forward, multiple choice and some essay, but he lets you know what to study. I really enjoyed his class. I'd recommend this teacher to any MKT major!

Comment:

Start on paper early, don't procrastinate. His tests are made up of 35 multiple choice questions straignt from the book and an essay portion. If he gives you a hint of what might be on the test; LISTEN, cause It showed up on the test. Study the chapers in the book carefully and don't try and share with anyone. It will hurt grade. Good teacher!

Took class as a Pre-session. Very stressful two weeks. He doesn't cut anything out. Class consist of 3 test, two case studies, and a 15 page paper. Great teacher, loves to talk about himself. I feel like I have known the guy my entire life with all his stories.

He's one of the BEST teachers I've had at Wichita State! I would definitely recommend this class for you marketers! I loved his stories he shared in class! Exams are difficult only b/c you must memorize his notes word for word to perform well on each. Also, by the end of the course you'll catch yourself paying attention to commercials.. You'll see!

Nice enough guy and a good teacher, but his grading is tottaly bias. If you don't write EXACTLY as he has tought the material then he'll deduct points like it's going out of style.But aside from that no complaints.

Worst teacher ever! Don't take presession w/ him unless you have to. Tests are word for word memorization. Book is useless except for random multiple choice questions.

I would take any other class he taught. He expects you to memorize your definitions word for word, on the exam. But he does give you a very hefty study guide/review.
