Comment:

Lectures were a little dry but otherwise very straightforward and inspirational. Assignments were not as interesting (lots of summaries) but gained much more from the content and was able to tie real world examples to lecture as a result.

Comment:

If you care about getting a perfect grade with no effort, he is not the one for you. He is knowledgeable, very engaging and a good lecturer. His lectures are super heavy so you can't skip any class and have to take a lot of notes. His exams are tough, you need to memorize a lot of content and he will only give one hour to finish it.

Comment:

Professor Lall was a very inspirational speaker. I enjoyed his lectures each week very much. You REALLY need to go to class or at least thoroughly go over the power point slides each week. There is a large paper due at the end of the quarter but he explains each section each week and it is easy to keep up with if you follow his schedule for it.

Comment:

The professor seems to be very passionate about teaching, however his lecture and teaching style is old-fashioned. He is a full-time teacher and has not been working for more than 16 years in the area which makes his lecture very outdated. Poor slides, slow pace class and tough grader. Also, he is not clear to explain what he wants for the mkt plan

Comment:

I took him for Undergraduate level MKT 301. He was a professor who loves to teach and has a lot of knowledge. He requires a textbook but you don't have to buy it. Pay attention in class and read the lecture and chapter slides he posts. There are two group reports and he chooses your teammates. Fair Guy. Would take him again.

Great lecturer, not so great at engaging in discussion and leaves very little opportunity for the nuggets of information (what he is looking for in tests) to come out.

Grading is vague, scope for final essays are too big and expectations for success were unclear. Class is a rehash of MKT 555, hard to understand, and don't feel learned anything.

Comment:

This course was intense. I felt like I was taking endless notes during class, with not time to comprehend what was being taught because I was so worried about missing something said. Take good notes and you'll ace the exams. The exams were over everything in class. What sucked? 20 page marketing plan; very time consuming. Very engaging professor.

Comment:

He's a good professor. He is clearly passionate about the material and wants his students to succeed. The project is a tough one. DO NOT pick something abstract. Find something far easier to get information on and be as detailed as possible. Make sure even your hypothetical situations in your project have sound logic and can be understood.

Midterm and final are online and very extensive, be prepared to write essays on several topics in a limited amount of time. Oh, and a 20 page marketing plan..

Comment:

The class is confusing. Prof Lall sits atop his soap box and likes hearing himself talk. His examples are good but the pace of material is too fast for my liking. 4 chapters/week, plus articles and weekly project portions are due. I didn't retain or learn much, other than how to regurgitate. Worst class I've taken undergrad/grad.

Grading was somewhat erratic and expectations for success were unclear. Class seemed like a rehash of MKT 555 but with a leadership component that felt forced. Final group project required a LOT of work and I don't feel like I learned much.

Comment:

I took this class as a summer session. The pace was brisk, but not relentless. Professor Lall has great examples and explains concepts well. To be successful in this class, be prepared to keep pace with all of his weekly assignments - you'll have a better final project (and be more well-rested) come the 10th week of class.

Comment:

Prof. Lall clearly takes pride in his preparation and delivery of the material presented in this class. The marketing plan project is time consuming; it is critical to stay on top of the assigned sections weekly and not get behind. If you don't mind the work, it's a good Class, take it.

Comment:

An average instructor. Considering that this was a marketing class he was pretty uninspiring and the powerpoint presentation boring. The marketing plan requires a lot of work but was an excellent tool for learning and reinforcing concepts learned in class. He did a good job developing this activity.
