Comment:

I had him for strategic management this past semester. He is very unclear with his grading, the syllabus is confusing at best, and he expects you to know everything from day one. Don't get me wrong, he is a nice guy, but he's just one of those professors that have been teaching way too long and is starting to lose his composure as a teacher.

This course was a total waste of time and money. I have learned absolutely nothing about the subject matter and the simulation is difficult.

Hes a really nice and understanding professor. I enjoyed his class, though some of his assignment rubrics were unclear at best. His class is ONLY the online portion. All other grads had hectic GEB courses , this one is a breeze. PICK HIM

Comment:

The teacher is a great guy, but his so called Module you have to read are so confusing. Most of it is in caps, or bold, underline, and there are not real formats behind it. You ask him a question, and he'll explain to you like it's easy but really confuses you even more. Pick your group carefully cause not many people are willing to invest themselv

Comment:

He is so confusing. Entire class consists of 2 group projects, and his expectations for the format/content of the projects are totally unclear. He rambles in class, doesn't present information in any kind of logical way, his documents he posts online to "help" you are in all caps, bold, very hard to read. Very stressful when trying to get an A.

He is a great professor! He really wants you to apply yourself and learn. He runs his classes as if he was your employer (this gets you ready for the real world) Pay attention, apply critical thinking, and participate and you should do fine. If you want to learn something you can use to help you land a career....take Dr. Hensel!

Comment:

Great guy, but not a good professor! He spent the 1st week of class going over how hard it is going to be & convincing people to drop! The course work is not bad but he is hard to understand when it comes to assignments or his lectures. When he is lecturing, he will switch topics without finishing the previous one! Ask questions to get more info!

Comment:

Really knows his marketing but spent the entire semestar complaining about not having enough time to teach the class. Told us to expect grades to be low because he didn't know how to teach a summer class. My grouped worked really hard and I still got a C+. I don't even know how he calculated it

Dr. Hensel is a great teacher. You are supposed to read the chapters and are expected to join in on class discussions (that is what college is for) and If you do not (you should not be in college), he will let you know about it. All you have to do is the work (like you should anyways) and you will get a good grade.

Comment:

This prof hated me at first, embarrassed me and assumed I was a bimbo (which I'm not-I take school very seriously) I continued to work my ass off and speak up in class and be prepared and recieved one of the few A's. My advice, no matter what the first impression, keep at it.

Comment:

If you come to class prepared you will do just fine! A lot of people think that he is tough because he expects a lot out of you but the truth is his expectations are low! All you have to do is take notes and make eye contact with him. Read the material before coming to class and answer any questions he asks in class. Extremely helpful prof.!!!

I think he was great. I read and participated, bombed the final and still got an A. You will do good if you come to class prepared and ready to participate.

Comment:

Do not be scared of him, great guy on one to one conversation. Will drill you and embarrass you miserably if you do not answer correctly. Always available in and out of class and via phone/mail.Ask questions because he is not clear on what he wants. Grading scale unknown. Purely subjective. Back end loaded first grades mean nothing on overall gra

Comment:

This is THE WORST professor I had in all classes I have ever taken. The guy is VERY EGOCENTRIC. At the end of the semester he even made some racial comments to one student and some other insulting comments to a Latin student because of her accent

If you are smart, you will do great and he will love you. If you are not smart, you will do bad and he will not love you. Simple as that. Work hard and prove you are a good student. If you do that, and find a good group, you will love the class.

WASTE OF $. WORST TEACHER EVER! TAKE SOLOMON FOR MKTG MAN WHILE YOU CAN BC HE IS THE ONLY TEACHER FOR MKTG PROBLEMS. I am a straight A student but got a B in the course. I know 1/2 the ppl in my class and only 1 of them got an A. He doesn't give work back so you have no idea what your grade is based on He yells at you instead of offering feedback.

Comment:

This guy is crazy!!! There is no method to his teaching, He is bipolar and gave out zeros on the final project. I ended up with a B but i deserved an A. Be prepared to spend like 6-8 hrs a week doing homework. I would take this class on another campus. He is rude to students and yells at everyone. His "scare tactics" are not productive.

Comment:

Great Prof. Expects you to do the work though. People who leave bad comments are the ones who were dumb enough to show up un-prepared. He makes you pay for it if you dont know your stuff...if you're scared of a little work you shouldn't be in college.

Comment:

Hard teacher, however I got the most helpful information out of him than any other marketing professor. No tests in class just class participation and group project. Class is not mandatory but if you don't go you don't get class participation so then you fail. LOT'S OF HOMEWORK!
