His classes are pretty boring, but he gives study guides for the exam which are very helpful. His accent makes him hard to understand but he curves the exams so much you can go from a C to an A. Nice guy, throws candy out during exams, cares about his students.

Professor Pisharodi is hands down one of the most nicest and caring professors i've ever had. You can tell he wants all of his students to succeed. Lectures can be a little dry but he knows what he is talking about. Great guy!

Professor Pisharodi is by far one of the best professors. He cares about every single student and is very passionate about Marketing. Gives you every opportunity to succeed in his class. Lectures can be pretty boring but the exams and group project are fair and manageable. Would definitely take again!

Comment:

Pisharodi is an extremely nice man. His lectures are boring, that's for sure. However, the class doesn't require much effort. I showed up for maybe half the classes. He tends to give extra points on tests, which is nice. One group project that is rather lengthy but not awful. Plus he throws candy at you during tests, so that's a plus!

This professor is a little bit boring, but he is very fair. Attendance is not mandatory but can help on exams. With his very generous curve it is pretty hard not to ace this class though. He is a really nice guy and passionate about teaching marketing! Throws out candy to the class during exams too! Professor Pisharodi rocks!

Very intelligent man and so caring towards his students. Put in a little effort in his class and he will reward you with a high grade. Would take him for every marketing class if I could. One of the greatest professors you will ever have

Comment:

He has an accent and wants you to buy additional material (Harvard case studies, Microsoft software, etc). There are two exams, numerous case studies, heavy lectures and a 15+ page term paper. Half of the class dropped after the first day. This class is ridiculous and I have no idea what is ever going on.

Comment:

I certainly enjoyed the class, Pisharodi is a funny guy. Tends to ramble on when it's not necessary, but very clear. He gives you all of the handouts and lectures at the beginning of class. I didn't buy either required book & still happened to do pretty well. He throws candy at you for participating, (haha?). Exams are a little hard.. Recommended.

He's a very nice professor! Flexible and encourages students to participate in class discussions. Tests are from powerpoint slides and case studies. I enjoyed this class!

Most amazing and caring professor I have ever had, I am graduated now and actually would come back just to take his class. Passionate about marketing and loves to teach. Takes care of his students and is always willing to help. Great professor.

Comment:

This guy loves teaching and he cares that students learn something. He'll print off and give you all the textbook-based notes you'll need, but also spare you hours of dry reading off PPT slides. Most classes were based on application through cases and videos. If you give a moderate level of effort, there's no reason you can't pull off a 3.0(+).

Comment:

This course is a lot of concepts. Dr. Mohan made it interesting with examples, work life situations etc. The in class videos - Logistics, Chiquita Bananas - also elaborated more on the logistics concepts. Yes. Dr. Mohan is a caring instructor and answers students questions.

Comment:

As boring of a topic as distribution channels is, Professor Pisharodi was so endearing I didn't care. You could tell he was very passionate about the subject and I actually did learn a lot. And what is better is that you will recieve a good grade most likely even though the tests are somewhat hard. He curves them a lot.

Great Professor... hard test but huge curve... true, the lectures are boring but anyone that still didn't learn in this class, isn't the type to learn to much anyway... attendance is not mandatory but I'd advice showing up... cuz he knows who you are trust me... and the attendance bonus helps... I have already signed up for this professor again.

Comment:

I had him for MKT Management AND Distribution Channels. He is a cute & funny Indian prof w/a fair, flexible & balanced mind. He grades lenient on the group project and he spells out what will be on the test & exactly what to study. His tests can be hard but are more curved than Pam Anderson so you will be fine. I got a 3.7 % 3.8. I love this Prof!

Not the most exciting, but was a pretty easy and fair professor. 2 tests, 1 group project. Not an issue at all. I would take him again if I needed to
