Comment:

I really liked having Prof. Fallin. He was super funny and approachable. Definitely go see him for office hours sometime if you have him. He cares a lot and knows that MKTG isn't the hardest class. He uses smartbook learn but it isn't bad. When we switched to online for corona, he didn't communicate much, but he adjusted the class to make it easier

Comment:

Fallin is a funny guy, makes lectures pretty engaging but his exams are way off from lectures. Here's how I did it and I scraped by w an A: Do the homework/reading assignments a few days before the test. This helped me on the test because the McGraw hill questions were similar to the exam.

Comment:

Fallin is great. His tests are pretty hard but McGraw Hill Connect helps out a lot with studying (Also, tests are only 60% and aren't cumulative). The homework is really easy are a good way to get easy points. Going to class will benefit you with the Tophat questions. I ended up getting extra credit because I went to class so often.

If you want to just be lectured from the book then this is the class for you. 10/10 Never showed up the book was more helpful and that's all that he went off of

Comment:

David is hilarious and wants to get to know his students as much as he can. His assignments every week are all through McGraw Hill and are not hard, and those assignments are mostly what you will be tested over. His lectures are worth going to because he is entertaining and expands more on things. Beware of his test though, they are hard.

Comment:

Extremely nice guy. His lectures don't really correspond with the tests the best so they are hard to study for. He gives a review but it's not super detailed. The actual test is made from the online textbook company. The material isn't difficult but the tests are kinda hard. The other prof (JJ) seemed to give less homework and more extra credit.

Comment:

The concepts in this class are so simple and the tests should not be difficult. HOWEVER, he uses the connect online tests instead of making up his own questions and the tests in no way reflect whether you know the concepts or not. They basically test whether or not you memorized the chapters word for word. Really frustrating. I don't recommend.

Comment:

David is a very laid back professor. He really cares about his students and really cares about their grades. Have to be in class to get the notes because he doesn't post them online. Although, he is a good teacher he will try to trick you on his exams so be prepared for that.

Comment:

Fallin is a great guy and cares about his students. However I won't be taking any more classes from him because I don't believe the tests well reflect the lectures. I understand having to do outside work and learn more on your own. However, most times it isn't likely that even if you studied an infinite amount that you'd be fully prepared for tests

Fallin is an awesome guy. Some of his jokes may be on the edgy side but nonetheless he's a fun guy to go to class and listen to. His classes are easy A's as well.

Comment:

Professor Fallin has decided to no longer allow technology in class, yet lectures very quickly and doesn't post notes. His tests are based off small things he picks out of each chapter so if you don't go to class it is very unlikely you'll study the correct information.

He's a great teacher, but his tests are hard! He really cares about you, and if you are having a problem he will help you!! He really wants you to succeed! If you are looking for an easy A, this isn't it!

Great guy, tries to learn everyone's names, and a funny guy. Homework every 2 weeks, even though it's really long it is easy. Everything you need is in the book, but go to the lectures. He gives occasional extra credit. Tests are SUPER thorough, so study it all.

Comment:

McGraw was the only pain in the class, but besides that it's a great class. The tests aren't too bad, but with studying the lectures and reading the online book on McGraw Hill and thoroughly re-doing the McGraw Hill homework you should be fine.

Awesome guy, made going to the virtually useless lecture worth it. He does not cover everything in lecture. Used McGraw Hill Connect system, which wasted a lot of my time this semester.

Comment:

Fallin is a funny guy. With that being said, his powerpoints are made by McGraw Hill Connect and they suck. If he wasn't such a comedian in class the lectures would be really long. His tests are all McGraw Hill Connect and suck even worse than the powerpoints. David Fallin A+ McGraw Hill Connect D-

Great Teacher! I am the type of student that learns better on my own, so I don't always find lectures important. With that being said all HW is done online and test are extremely easy to study for. As long as you get your work done you should pass with an A easily. He is hilarious to listen to and says thing purely for shock value. 10/10 recommend.

Basic marketing course. If you follow the directions, you will pass the class with a good grade. Mind blown by people who complain about this professor.
