Comment:

Everyone in class expected this to be a blow off class. Some people even emailed Rodkin asking so to which he got offended. Then, he sent out emails telling people who were in it to fulfill requirements to drop class. I thought he was joking but it was a tough class. Would NOT recommend. Very difficult and he cant teach.

Hard course way beyond just talking about cultures! Important to know, however, and worthwhile info on shipping logistics, management policies, etc. I urge anyone interested in international to take Rodkin and this course

Comment:

I was hoping to take a BS course to fulfill my global business perspective requirement. I was expecting to graduate this quarter with a high GPA, but this class knocked it down. It's a very difficult course and the concepts are hard to understand as it's an international marketing course. Don't understand why we need to know this info..so hard

Took him based on his other class ratings but his marketing 360 turned out to be very difficult.the final and midterm was very lengthy and tricky.the case Studies were things students from harvard read.the quizzes on the case studies were very difficult

Comment:

A little bit easy to students whose major is MKT. However, the simulation provides another chance to prove your ability. I think we did not use the textbook frequently. Mid term is 25 multiple questions. No formal final exam.

This guy knows his stuff, and will not coddle anyone...expects students to make decisions based on facts not fancy (brains not guts!, and I realize now that "brand management" can mean more than just a consumer package good...if it has a brand, its our focus! Loved it!!!!

Comment:

So far Rodkin has been the best professor of the DePaul experience. He is thorough, no BS and really knows the stuff. I would take a professor with Life experience over a PhD any day of the week, and Prof's like Rodkin drive the reasoning behind that point home.

The class and professor made me want to pick up Marketing as a focus for my MBA. Class was extremely engaging and fun. Although this was my 2nd class as an MBA, I'd be shocked if I found a better professor than Rodkin. There are a lot of handouts so get your printer ready.

This is a class designed to give an overview on marketing; if you are then interested, you go on to take more advanced courses, but the depth and scope here is terrific regardless!!!

I will probably get my first major job thanks to this class; the array of speakers and the scope of lecture topics have made me a prime candidate at two of the companies represented by guest lecturers...an awesome class led by an excellent and experienced professor. If you want brand management as a career, start here!

Awesome...best professor so far, and even though he ended the class in the hospital for surgery we were still "in the loop" via our Blackboard website, enabling us to review every lecture!

Brings in a lot of speakers which is nice to hear real world examples. You will get out early every night, which is awesome. Lectures are a little old and could use some new examples. Has a tendency to ask questions then interrupt students to give his view. Overall a decent class.

Comment:

Marketing 555 is a fairly easy class within the MBA program ... it is not a quant class. You must have intelligence since you attend DePaul KGSB ... each one of us should earn an "A" no matter who teaches MKTG 555. Rodkin brings relevant marketing stories, case studies to the lectures. Sense of humor is ...dry, quick witted. I left with knowledge

All around good guy. Loves marketing and his students, always willing to help. Sad to know he is retiring soon. He was one of my favorite professors at Depaul.

Comment:

One of the best professors at DePaul. Class is interesting/informative. He does not stress you out at all. Class consisted of a simple assignment, midterm, Tribute project (not very hard), and a "stress-free" final that you dont even have to study for. Aside from being a good teacher, Prof. Rodkin is quite the funny guy. Best choice.

Comment:

Professor Rodkin is passionate about the subject, engaged the students and treated everyone with respect. However, he was also pretty laid back; therefore, the class was not very challenging. Should be an easy A. I very much enjoyed the Country Manager simulation and got most of what I learned from the class from it.
