He's a really good guy to get to know and is really passionate about the marketing experience. Attend his classes and listen. Doesn't like electronic devices during class so be prepared to take notes. Overall, class was discussion lead and engaged most students. Would take again!

Comment:

Professor Frank is great .. although, it was more work than I expected from a 200 level class. The midterm was open book/open note/open lap top. You have ALL semester to complete the group project and you submit it in sections. LISTEN to his feedback! You literally have to try & do poorly in this class! He really cares about his students success.

Comment:

He is an Adjunct professor that bring no sort organization to the classroom, his grading and projects are unclear and never provides any type of feedback. Rarely will answer any of your emails and acts like his class is an easy A. With him as you're professor it will not be, his class consist of three grades a midterm,final and a group project.

Loved Frank. Brings his Corporate experience to the classroom. Uses real life scenarios to teach us how market research is really used. You can ace his tests as long as you pay attention to what he is looking for. He gives you ALL the info, just give it back to him!! Be sure to study his test guides and you can really do well! Group Project.

Professor Frank is one of the most knowledgable professors I have had. Very approachable, great teaching style. Makes everyone feel comfortable in class, and will never chastise you for getting and answer wrong or asking a silly question. Tests are a little tricky, but his grading policy makes it easy to well anyway. Semester long project isn't bad

Professor Frank is awesome!!!! The work load is very manageable and he gives lots of time to get group work done; Grades fairly and also gives study guides for exams way in advance- and does exam reviews after each test. Lots of interesting presentations during the semester... And above all, Professor Frank has just the cutest smile :)

boring class. easy concepts. pushes P&G TOOO much. and since that company cares less about humans health nor animals, I find it funny how much he loves to use them as an example. disliked the class. too cocky of a teacher.

Comment:

Very informative. Knows a lot about the subject and applies it to real life scenarios. All exams are open book/open notes. However, make sure you take notes when he is speaking because he does not write that much on the board. Awesome teacher. Take his class!

Prof. Frank uses his real life business experience to explain alot of the material. It makes it more understandable because it is practical application. Alot of homework, but I didnt buy the textbook and got an A, make sure you do the homework and dont miss class!

Comment:

Frank is a good professor. He gives you life experiences to help you grasp the concept of marketing. Open Books/Notes tests but can be a tough grader but it is a 295 class. Not Preschool. Just be thorough with your answers and participate and you will be fine. Extra Credit if you participate.

anyone who doesn't pass this class... with an A... had to seriously try... relates everything to real life and all exams are open book/open note and mostly take home... an extremely nice man. take his class if you can just to experience a professor who has unbelievable credentials and doesn't need a book to teach cuz he knows his stuff!

Comment:

Prof. Frank is much different from most professors I've had. He doesn't know how to teach very well, BUT he knows his stuff. Classes are boring, but if you can write well, you'll do fine because the exams are all open book, w/ a take home final.

Comment:

I took Prof frank for MKT 305 & 306. He's an amazing teacher that makes things relate to the real world. Most exams are open notes and book. For MKT305 he had us turn in a paper for an exam grade rather than in class. As long as you go to class and take notes you will pass

I don't know what anyone is talking about--this is without a doubt the worst professor I have ever had. I am an A student and I am probably getting my first C ever in my college career thanks to him and I'm going to be a senior! Your grade is based on like three tests and he'll give you C's. And he murdered my name week after week-so condescending!

Professor Frank is Awesome! He is crystal clear when he explains things. He has so much life experience to incorporate into his lectures. The exams are a breeze if you show up and do the powerpoint slides.
