Dr. Johnson was a great choice for my first semester at Salisbury and left a great first impression. He's very professional in the classroom without being stuffy. Loves to hear student feedback. This class is definitely heavy with real world assignments that he will walk you through step by step.
This class consisted of lots of group work. Team members were not evaluated so many students slid by without doing ANY work. This was not reprimanded by Dr. J. He also changed many course requirements but didn't convey the changes to the class. The final exam date was changed the day before the exam. He is a VERY tough grader.
If you get the chance I would surely take Dr. Johnson. Always upbeat with plenty of jokes. Will play some sort of song everyday before class to "get the thoughts moving". He makes the class enjoyable and 337/the sales competition was one of the best class experiences I had at SU.
Be ready to participate in class on the spot
Awesome teacher. Took him twice in my four years. Definitely would recommend giving Dr. J a shot.
Dr. J is a really good professor. He provides excellent feedback and offers great advice for school and real-life. Very interesting lectures and has a great sense of humor. Would take the class again.
A good Professor. He is funny but he is a tough grader.
Lots of sales role playing exercises that are pretty useful in preparation for the real world. Do not miss an assignment though. Could present test material more clearly.
Goes by Dr. J, he grades very hard for no reason. Wants everything done his way and if its not his way, you'll get a bad grade. If you have any questions he's very caring about it and will answer but hard grader.
This is a selling class, so he makes you sell. IF you are an introvert maybe this isn't for you. DR. J makes everyone in the class stand up and talk but this Is what you need when learning how to sell. Overall easy he's super cool.
Dr. Johnson was probably the most interactive professor I've had and it made the class very enjoyable. His interactive class makes attending lectures entertaining and not a drag.
Keeps class fun. Tries to be hilarious which is funny. Works with you to make sure you understand the material. Dr. J a great teacher I've learned a lot about sales.
Dr. Johnson is a fantastic teacher! He cares about students more than most professors. The course is very lecture heavy with a lot of out of class assignments. You cannot miss the sales competition otherwise the highest grade you can get in the class is an 80%. Otherwise, he makes class very interactive and come prepared to speak and get involved.
Very fun and easy-going teacher. He explains everything very well and makes MKTG337 pretty enjoyable!
Overall great professor. Gets the class involved every class. Be ready to participate. Grades everything fair and sometimes gives out extra credit
Dr. Johnson is easily one of the best professor at Salisbury. He is passionate in his lectures but will take time to make sure that everyone knows what is going on and will always answer any questions that you may have. He does a great job preparing you for the sales competition. If you show up and put in effort you should at least get a B.
Great professor but exams are very different from what is taught in the lectures
Overall, good course. I enjoyed the lectures and some of the projects.
One of the best professors I have had at SU.
Spend less time focusing on the examples and more time explaining the concepts. With a course like this where concepts and terminology is key, making sure that the students have a grasp on the conceptual side of the class will be more beneficial than the examples such as videos.
This class is very lecture heavy, there is no textbook. The quizzes and exams have very few questions and are almost the entire grade in the class. Very nice professor, enjoyed coming to class every Tuesday and Thursday!
Easy lectures with guided notes that help when studying for quizzes and exams. Do the notes, read them and it's an easy A or B
Professor Johnson is a nice guy who knows his stuff but is a little strict and by the book for my liking. Not to mention the quizzes and exams are fairly difficult and outside of those a presentation and a paper, there are no other grades. Not very forgiving for an entry level mandatory marketing course.
Professor Johnson gives strong, memorable lectures. As long as you attend class and put effort into what you do, you should at least get a B.
Great professor. Changed my major to marketing because of him and this class.
Great professor, would take another course with him , if my major was marketing. Made lectures fun, interesting and engaging. Pay attention to lectures and notes given, in order to do great on quizzes and exams. Text book is not required. Not many assignments.
Prof. Johnson taught this very by the book, was a fun class and he looks to get people involved. He provides a paper each lecture that breaks down each chapter. Quizzes and test are a little difficult. And a paper rounds off the work you do during the semester.
Great professor, cares about his students. Show up and read over your notes. Group work heavy.
Great professor very enthusiastic about topics and connected well with students.
Professor Johnson is great! His class was a highlight of the semester. Our class included a lot of engaging subject-matter which felt grounded and relatable (through the use of examples and anecdotes). Definitely a class that I wont forget!
Dr J. is a very good professor overall. He's very nice and energetic, making it easy to be engaged in class. He can be a very hard grader, but his class is very rewarding nonetheless.
Took Professor Johnson for an Honor's section of MKTG 330. Great professor with fun lectures and easy notes to follow along in class. However, he can be a tough grader and it is important to stick to the rubric when completing his assignments.
Dr. Johnson is a good professor to have. He has an outgoing personality and makes class fun, and he also knows what he is talking about. He interacts with the class by asking questions and hypotheticals to keep it entertaining and interesting. He is also willing to help if you are struggling- you just need to ask! He is the best professor I've had
He is a nice guy, likes to interact with students and is passionate about marketing. However, if you get stuck with a bad group... good luck succeeding - by the way he picks the groups. Few grades to work with and 60% is based on group work. (at least for the honors version). He is a good guy, I just did not enjoy his teaching and grading style.
Dr. J was one of my favorite professors Ive taken. Although completely online, his videos were great, I learned all the material easily. No homework, only quizzes and tests, straight from the videos. Grades based off his rubric, so follow them to a T. Amazing guy.
really awesome experience in his Graduate class. 10/10 recommend he makes the content highly interesting and relevant. At any level you will enjoy his class and lectures.
Dr. J is the homie. Would take his class again. Very interesting lectures.
In my class there were three group projects and an individual writeup. Dr. Johnson is very specific with the grading so make sure to follow the rubric he provides. Lectures were pretty interesting and he tried to involve all students.
You'll have a case analysis and he will require a one page limit. Good luck with that because you'll probably will have to miss important key point just because you want your paper to fall under a page.
Dr. Johnson is easily one of the best teachers not just in the Perdue School but at Salisbury University as a whole. He makes class fun and very informative. He uses real life cases to study and his class translates to the real world. If you can take Dr. Johnson no matter the course.
Follow the rubric
Dr. Johnson is an amazing professor! I loved his class discussions, work ethic and personality.
Pretty interesting class. There's 2 group presentations, a group writeup and an individual writeup. The first writeup and presentation were fairly easy, but he grades the individual writeup and next presentation harder. He is a somewhat tough grader in general, but if you put time into the assignments it's not too bad. Quizzes were super easy.
I found Dr J to be very vigilant and professional while teaching. He is very quick in answering questions which is a great plus point!
Best teacher at SU
Dr J is a great teacher and really made sure to get us prepared for the Sales Competition. Make sure to study in class notes for exams.
Good professor. Would recommend.
specific on what he wants for assignments, not a tough grader, and lectures are usually pretty fun!
Dr. J was one of my favorite professors at Salisbury University. His class felt like kind of refreshing after sitting in many boring lectures with other instructors. Dr. J really wants his students to succeed, and it's obvious.
Great guy. Never complained about going to his class. If you're afraid to talk grow up because you are going to have to talk. Favorite professor I've had all of collge.
Hes a really great professor. There are not a lot of assignments so you should try and do well on all of them. There is a huge sales competition at the end of the course which is a big portion of the grade but professor J makes you feel prepared for it. Overall highly recommend him hes funny and laid back and makes class a good time!
Professor Johnson is a great professor would highly recommend taking him!
Professor Johnson is a really nice guy and cares for his students. The class is interesting and beneficial even if you don't think you will go into sales. He makes the material applicable to every part of your life not just your potential career. I would definitely take a class with him again!
He is the most caring professor Ive taken. You can literally come to Dr. J about anything, it doesnt have to be about school. The guys a G
Great class overall but be prepared to work towards the end of the semester because of Sales Competition but Johnson prepares you well for it. Plan on taking notes during lectures (doesn't post slides) or purchase the textbook. Just pay attention in class and you'll do well on the exams and Sales Competition.
This class is heavy on outside activities. Fortunately, the time is already blocked out for scheduling, not for all events, but be prepared to attend seminars, dinner, job fairs, and internships. Easy material and fun to learn, Dr. J does call people out and will force you to work with other people. 50% off when late within 24hrs, 2 absences only.
The best professor to take for this class. Makes the class a friendly environment allowing students to feel comfortable participating. Lots of open discussion classes with sales pitch role plays. Exams weren't too hard and based straight from class lectures.
Funny professor who keeps it 100 with everything. Go to class, do the work, and show up to the events outside of class and you'll be fine. I recommend him for Mktg 337 or any class.
Great professor, very well spoken. Show up to class and do all the work ON TIME and you will have a B or an A
If you want to learn how to interview well, take this class. Dr. J does a great job teaching students how to make a sale. It's essential to get comfortable in uncomfortable situations and this class helped me do that.
This professor is very knowledgeable about sales, and he cares about his students success.
Easy class and he sets you up for the MASMI Sales Championship very well
Was a great professor and I would take him again!
Professor Johnson is a great teacher to have, cares for the students and stays engaged with all of them to make sure they succeed.
I really liked this class. Dr. Johnson prepares you well for the sales championship at the end of the semester. The material on the exams are same material we learn in class, so if you pat attention to the lectures you will do well on the exams. I learned a lot of valuable skills from this class.
He is a great professor, who is very personable and caring to each student. Honestly this is the best professor ive had at salisbury, and I enjoyed this class very much. If you are looking for a class that isnt going to stress you out take it!
He is very passionate about what he is teaching, and he wants you to do well. He is very good about giving feedback that can help you improve for the next time. This is a fun and easy going class!
Professor Johnson brings an exciting take on selling, where he begins the semester teaching you how to market yourself. After gaining that confidence, you learn how to market products and services to prospective customers. The work was not hard, and the in-class lectures give you enough guidance for the MASMI sales competition.
Not only did he prepare us for the sales competition but for the real world. One of the best professor i had at SU. Pay attention in class and be interactive and you will do great. Gives great feedback and has passion for what he teaches.
professor johnson is easily one of the best professors i have had here. he makes the class interactive; good amount of group work. he will call you out randomly in class but as long as you pay attention you will do just fine. exams are not bad. he is the best professor to prepare you for the sales championship. take him over ANY 337 professor!
you want Aaron Johnson! He is the best Professor and a great person. He is super passionate about marketing/ selling and always provides feedback that is necessary. Marketing 337 is an uncomfortable class but Aaron Johnson will teach you everything and you'll be walking out of the class like a new person.
Lots of outside work/participation to stay on top off but Dr. J makes the class super fun and easy. He makes sure students are well prepared for everything they have in front of them and he's hilarious.
Great class! Learned lots of real world skills and Dr. J is awesome
This class was fun which is saying alot considering it was a 9:30. He brought good energy. There is a lot of events to attend outside of class but I'm sure thats required by the University rather than him. Overall I liked it but didn't love it.
Quiz and exam scenarios are different than in-class definitions and examples sometimes.
Good professor, the material was easy to catch on to and was fair in his grading.
Dr. J is super invested in getting to know his students and makes class enjoyable. As someone new to the business school, Dr. J made me feel reassured even with my doubts. He is very personable and caring but also knows what he is talking about. He gives great feedback on group work and challenges us to think critically. Highly recommend him
Excellent teacher. Encourage you to take.
great professor, all you have to do is prepare for exams/quizzes. Gives good feedback and class is enjoyable.
Very nice guy that keeps the class involved and obviously cares for his students. Easy to get a long with and I actually enjoy coming to class. You will also actually learn something as well. Take Dr. J any chance you can get!
Great teacher and is super easy to follow along. Gives good feedback and is clear on what needs to be done. However there is only so many assignment's so you have to do good on them
He is the best business professor. He was super easy. Just pay attention during the lectures and take good notes because if you do, you will get good grades on the quizzes and exams. There is a group project, but he makes the requirements clear, and the presentation is only on a section of your project not the whole thing.
If you have to take a marketing class, go with Dr. J. The lectures are engaging and he'll help you if you have any questions. The tests are difficult but if you take notes and ask questions then you'll be fine
Professor Johnson is a helpful teacher and will make it possible for you to pass this class. Every chapter he provides you with an outline, and exams and quizzes follow these closely. One small group presentation during the year, and one big group paper at the end. Great professor.
text book not required, attendance not required but slides are not online so if you miss class you'll need the notes. Semester long group project, a few small papers (1 page), and some quizzes. Class is easy and interesting without a huge workload.
One of the good and caring professors, class is very straightforward.
Good professor. He is willing to help and wants his students to be successful.
fun class
Makes class interesting with lectures. Not many grades, and no homework. Tests are not hard if you study.
Dr. J is one of the best professors I've ever had. Makes coming to class enjoyable. Tests and quizzes can be challenging so taking good notes beyond what he provides you and studying them is essential. 100% would take a course taught by him again.
Professor Johnson is very passionate about marketing, although this lass is very test heavy, make sure you read his questions carefully, other than that, he is a great professor and very excited to teach this class.
Amazing teacher. Makes lectures and participating in class fun. Easy professor to talk to and gives great advice on work you need help on. Take quizzes serious because they can affect your grade a lot.
Professor J is a great professor, high energy. Provides the class with interesting stories to understand the different concepts in the chapter.
Professor Johnson gives engaging lectures that make the material easier to understand.
Dr. J gave extremely entertaining lectures with lots of activities. If you pay attention in class and participate, you will probably succeed. Dr. J makes the content easy to understand.
Great professor, and really good lectures with lots of real world examples. Class was interesting every day, and I genuinely felt like I learned something.
Great Professor! The class was not my favorite, it's frustrating a bit because there are few grades which means grades are tricky. Try to attend class, attendance is not mandatory, but notes for quizzes and exams are only given in class. He made the class better which made it a pretty good experience over all.
Good teacher! Pretty knowledgeable about marketing and its history. Always enjoyed coming to class ready to learn, not much work so be mindful of how much effort you're putting into the bigger assignments. Exams weren't difficult, but I'm not a good test taker, which had a detrimental effect on my grade. You get the grade you earned.
Gerat guy!
Dr. J is passionate about marketing and teaching. His class was very engaging and fair.
Great professor, highly recommend taking his classes, fair workload while grading hard. You learn a lot of while grading hard he gives great feedback and gives good grades.
Great professor. He is very intelligent and passionate about the course. He challenges his students when it comes to the writing assignments but is fair with grading policies. His quizzes are easy too. Would take him again!
Great professor! You will learn a lot in his class. Be prepared to read case studies and write papers. Although class is not mandatory I recommend you attend for in-depth detail and free candy.
Show up and participate! Read the PowerPoint and stay engaged!
Dr. J was an awesome professor!! The lectures were entertaining and engaging. He is one of my favorite professors I've taken at SU. He can be a tough grader but I overall really enjoyed this class.
Follow the rubric, take notes in class and do the quizzes after reading the textbook chapter.
Workload is fairly easy. Aside from the case presentations and case briefs the class is pretty easy. Great professor very knowledgeable in marketing field.
Dr. J is a great professor. He starts his lectures each class with a refresher and "housekeeping" (assignments/future events). Keeps his lectures entertaining, while also engaging in and exemplifying the content each class. A book was not necessary, but helps with the lecture content. Not a lot of grades, but is a fair grader.
Great professor who is very interactive with the class. Professor was very knowlegdable and wanted everyone to suceed. Group projects were not too bad and all you really had to worried about was three total case assignments.
Very little assignments and lecture heavy but does a great job at explaining material necessary for assignments. Takes grading very seriously but won't grade super harsh its more about feedback and learning the material than anything else. Super nice guy, fun class, and he does a great job teaching.
I think it is better to provide the list of article and videos that used during the class. It is easy to track the line
Great class, great instructor. Willing to take the time to make sure everyone in the class understands what is being taught. Not a lot of assignments but a fair grader who clearly conveys what he expects from his class. I enjoyed the class and would take it again.
Dr. Johnson is very knowledgeable about the material he teaches in class. His lectures are engaging and he encourages the class to participate in discussions. I would recommend that while the book is optional for this course, to go ahead and purchase it as it may include more detailed information not covered in the lectures.
Dr J made a course that i did not plan on taking very useful and not too difficult. I went into MKTG337 just looking to get through the course, now at the end i am considering picking up a sales minor.
Must participate in class
Dr. J teaches a good class, makes it as easy as can be and will work with you. Makes things fun and keeps you on your toes.
Professor Johnson constantly tries to keep the class engaged with his lectures and excellent knowledge of the material he is teaching
Johnson is super cool professor he genuinely cares about how well his students do at the end of the semester in the sales competition. He keeps class very entertaining and even helped me with some advising problems I was having for the next semester.
He was very good! I enjoyed his lectures and his class was very interactive. Helped me get better with public speaking and he was very fun to have as a professor. Definitely would take this class again!
Dr. Johnson is very informative and helpful when it comes to Marketing/Sales. He provides a lot of feedback and wants you to succeed in his courses. I highly recommend taking him for MKTG 337.
Great professor who encourages the class to participate. Professor is very knowledgeable about the material.
Great professor who can make the class fun. He is very knowledgeable of course material and is interactive with his students. Highly recommend.
Dr. Johnson is a great teacher! He truly takes the time to make sure you are prepared for everything this class throws at you. I would recommend anyone take him!
Great professor, great guy!
Dr. Johnson is very fun and engaging. His lectures are never boring and he provides great preparation for the sales championship. Make sure you show up to class because attendance is graded.
Great teacher. Lots of fun
Dr. J is easily the best professor I've had at SU. If you have the option to take his class, you have to do it. He will prepare you SO well for the sales competition. He is knowledgeable and his lectures are engaging. He's funny and will joke around with you. He genuinely cares about his students and wants to see you succeed!
Great professor. Very knowledgeable on the topic and wants his students to succeed. Would definitely take it again.
Lots of outside class activities that are mandatory for the class
a good professor -- helped me overcome public speaking & there weren't too many assignments. it was fairly challenging but overall the class definitely contributed to my career development
Very engaging class, professor Johnson actually care about his students and will get you well prepared for the sales competition.
Enthusiastic and well educated on the subject. Strict but pushes you to be better. Improved my public speaking and interpersonal skills. The class was lecture-heavy but Johnson was funny/engaging in lectures. I would take a class with him again.
fantastic Professor ! He had extensive knowledge and experience in the field, making his classes both informative and engaging. I learned so much from him and highly recommend him as a teacher
Super funny guy, I knew I was in for a great semester when I heard him playing J Cole. at the beginning of my 9am class
Great professor, highly recommend
great professor and I would take him again, gives great sales advice and I am very glad I got him as a professor, I wish I had him for every marketing class.
Dr. Johnson is a great professor who cares about the improvement of his students.
He prepares you well for the sales championship which improves your public speaking and sales skills. Overall good professor and somewhat enjoyable class.
Absolute DOG. Best professor I've had at Salisbury. Lectures are awesome and fun to be a part of unlike most other classes and he actually tries to reach out during class and get students engaged.
He's the goat. Be ready to be put on the spot in class, but that helps you in the long run. Great professor.
Professor Johnson is an engaged teacher, relies on class participation and keeps students on their toes. Overall 10/10.
Really great professor, super funny and really helpful (he actually wants you to succeed). Grades tough and the exams are worth a large portion of the final grade, but he gives a lot of feedback. One of those classes you actually can learn and have fun at the same time.
Probably the best professor I've had at SU. He makes class engaging and interesting. He will give open and honest feedback and in that way he sets you up for success. Highly recommend for 337!
I enjoyed Dr.Johnson's class. He made lectures entertaining and fun. Very interactive. Beware if you have a job while taking this class, there is several outside of class mandatory events.
He is truly a great professor that cares about his students and the material he is teaching. He makes the class fun and enjoyable to be apart of and we learned very valuable material about Sales. Great class to gain real world experience.
Great Professor! Always kept class entertaining. Cares about his students, and helps out tremendously. Most of the class is preparing for the sales championship at the end of the semester, there's a lot of practice and role-play. If you're nervous about speaking in front of people he'll work it out of you. Definitely would take this class again.
Great Professor, very knowledgeable and creates a classroom culture where we as students want to participate. His feedback is honest and provides suggestions frequently in hopes to help students improve and succeed. Attendance policy is no joke so definitely plan to show up for class.
He does cool and engaging lessons. He is also a funny guy in general. In addition, If you need help, he is also great about meeting with you. He does not require a textbook reading, but provides helpful note outlines.
A very enthusiastic and participation-heavy teaching strategy that forces you to stay engaged, ultimately making the class enjoyable and worthwhile. Would recommend everyone to take this class if you have the opportunity.
Professor Johnson is amazing! I came in as a geography major hoping to expand my skill set. I'm glad I chose to take this course. I have gained a lot of confidence in communicating with others, I also learned how to handle objections well. I would recommend this class to anyone hoping to learn how to talk to customers and make a sale.
He is a great professor, the best professor you could probably get for this course
This is my 2nd class I have taken with Dr. J and he still has maintained my interest as a student. If it wasn't for him, I don't think I would be graduating with a marketing minor. He is engaging, cares about us improving as students, and is detailed with feedback
This was my first marketing class in Perdue, and I'm glad I took it with Professor Johnson. There are multiple out of class assignments but he prepares you very well for all of them. His lectures are relevant to what we're learning and what we have to do outside of the classroom.
Great Professor. Only thing I did not like was some times that grading seemed a little harsh and unfair.
Professor Johnson was very nice guy and a good teacher. However there wasn't a lot of assignments so if you get one bad grade it can really affected your overall grade for the semester.
He is a great professor who worked really hard to prepare all students for the sales competition. There are only two exams, but you will have to attend a lot of events outside of regular class time.
The course is pretty well organized. Be ready to attend many out of class events and to spend your own money on certain items for the course. Attendance is mandatory.
Dr J is a great guy who clearly cares about his students. MKTG337 is a class that very well preps you for life. You'll get an internship with them, and learn how to sell. There is no better professor than Johnson for this class. Laid back and informative, and also fun. Take him. There are very little assignments.
Good teacher, good person. Outlines class grades, class events, projects very well.
Great teacher
Professor Johnson actually told me to do this rating right away and be honest so... He's cool in class and gives good feedback. As I am typing this right now he talks about "social loafing." I want to give a meaningful review but I'll do that later. NOTE: if you take the class get business cards R I G H T A W A Y. Youll get 10 points.
I disliked MKG 337 with a passion. Notes have to be done in class, he doesn't post them after class so studying for exams sucks even with good notes. Grading is strange, large points off for miniscule details. SO MANY OUT OF CLASS EVENTS. Be ready to buy business cards, make resume, join linkedin, own professional clothing in first 2-ish weeks.
Nice professor who clearly cares about his work and students. Some of the tests and quizzes have weird questions but he will go back through those quizzes in class. He sometimes also takes off points for weird things which is odd for someone who grades really easily. All in all, great professor and a great choice for MKTG330.
Very knowledgeable and very passionate for the class
Good Professor
Class is very helpful for sales. If you are a business major or sales minor, I would highly suggest taking this course as the material you'll learn will be used in the business world.
Just go to all of the PST and you'll pass the class like come on it ain't hard. Sales championship is hard though. overall great class.
Very interesting. Probably one of the most useful classes i have taken at salisbury. Lots of outside of class work, like going to other things outside of class time that is mandatory, but worth it
Dr. J is a really good guy, his class is very interactive and fun. Most of what is discussed has real world application and will be helpful for years after I graduate.
Cool guy, really helps you prepare for the sales competition, be ready to participate
Fun professor who wants you to do well on your assignments and the big sales championship at the end of the semester. The tests were a little harder and grading was a little iffy sometimes. Other than that it was overall a great class and I would recommend it.
Good professor. Will help you figure out a job for the future, as well as get you ready for interviews.
Great professor, makes lectures enjoyable and really dives deep into the sales process. The exams are tough however, make sure to always take notes!
I have been at Salisbury for 2.5 years now, and I have never had a professor like Aaron Johnson. The dude knows his stuff, can answer every question you have, while also making class super fun. You can tell he truly loves what he does. He pushes students to get out of their comfort zone, which not a lot of people can, or know, how to do.
This class had a lot of out of class requirements. Youre meant to buy business cards, attend events out of class and participate in the sales championship. He is a really tough grader on presentations and projects. I personally wouldnt recommend this class to someone only because of all that has to go into it its like a fulltime job in this course.
Great professor, sometimes grades hard and puts students on the spot a lot.
I took this class not knowing that going into it I would be spending money on outside events like sales competitions, elevator pitch competitions, an ad challenge etc. However looking back I have grown so much because of this class. Johnson pushes you outside your comfort zone because he cares about you and your success.
Dr. Johnson is an enthusiastic professor that offers thorough lectures while incorporating interactive class activities. The 337 class begins with professional development and utilizes numerous MASMI events, all leading up to the final sales competition. There is not a huge amount of work, but be ready to attend out-of-class events.
Very well knowledge with this course, as it also allows you to grow out of the norm and meet new people!
Dr. Johnson listens to what the students have to say regarding coursework. He hands out good pointers to fix your sales script.
Dr. J is funny and relatable, and the class is very interactive
Dr. Johnson is an awesome professor. He is very engaging during class, and listens to students and their concerns. He is willing to alter the schedule to ensure everyone is confident with the content before we move on. You can tell he genuinely cares about his students and will make you laugh at least once a class. Take him for MKTG 330!!!
Class was easy but exams and quizzes and difficult for no reason. You will do your fair share or group and individual work. His personality is...interesting but not unmanageable. I would take him again if need be but I'm glad I'm not a marketing major.
Dr. J is goated. Pay attention in class and you'll do great!
Stop grading so hard.
Great Professor. Can tell he clearly is passionate about ensuring his students success. Grading is a bit harsh in the beginning of class but once you learn how he grades you will do fine.
Dr J. is the best professor i've had at SU. his classes are so engaging and he's hilarious. make sure you participate or he has no shame in calling on you but he's a great guy. he gives out free snacks and candy if he calls on you. there isn't a lot of assignments but he has very clear guidelines for them. if you have the chance, take his class!!!!
Related course content to real-life scenarios, good lecturer. Funny and communicated course content easily.
The professor was always prepared for class and created a comfortable atmosphere during lectures. Brought positive energy to the class. Assignments were fair if you read the rubric.
very well respected and very knowledgeable
My favorite professor at Salisbury
Dr. J was a great professor. He expects you to put in the work, but he clearly puts a lot of effort into his lectures and does a great job of including everyone. He grades quite harshly at times, but the overall class is worth it.
Dr. J was a great professor, had very interesting lectures and provided notes along with them. Tough grader on some assignments but if you follow the rubric and pay attention in class you should be fine. Makes class fun by giving out snacks for participation too.
This is the second course I've taken with Dr. Johnson, and I've really enjoyed each. He is a wonderful professor, and he makes the information more interesting and digestible especially with the content presented in consumer behavior. He also gives snacks which is an added bonus.

Dr. J is a tough but engaging professor. While the grading is rigorous, the lectures are informative and fun, with snacks for participation. unstuck ai proved helpful for test prep along with the textbook.
Very enjoyable class. Knows what he is talking about and cares about the students
Great teacher, would recommend!
Great professor that cares for his students and makes lectures fun and engaging. Tough grader on some assignments but the more you pay attention in class the easier it will be to get an A.
he cool peoples, if you show up and listen you will get an A
Professor Johnson is a great professor. The class consists of lectures and discussions to help you get involved. Tries to get everyone to participate. Not very many assignments so you have to do well on quizzes and exams to get an A in the class.
This class is very lecture heavy but he made them very interesting by encouraging participation. There aren't a ton of grades so do well on the quizzes that he gives. Overall, I recommend taking him.
Engaging professor that creates an environment students want to participate in. Slightly more challenging course, but is an upper level so to be expected. 3 exams including final, 5 quizzes and a few homework assignments along with a group research paper will make up grading. Go to class, study, and you will do just fine in this class!
When you enter this class, he makes it engaging for you to understand the topics as well as get a better grasp on the concepts being taught. The information needed for the quizzes is well-explained from the lectures, so it feels like you understand what the questions are asking.
Professor cares a lot about his students success in his class. It is very important to stay on top of his notes he does in class because they outline all the quizzes, also make sure you are paying attention in class if not you will not understand the quizzes.
Professor grades pretty hard with certain assignments os make sure you're thorough and ask any questions on the assignment if you don't understand.
Class is very lecture heavy, with the option to purchase the textbook separately. Instructor is very knowledgeable and articulate and will be able to answer any questions you may have on the content during lectures. Classes are interactive and there are multiple group projects.
Great professor lectures are very fun and engaging. He is a tough grader and doesn't give a ton of assignments, so if you fail a test, it can be difficult to get your grade back up.
Dr. Johnson is the best professor! Very engaging class, attend lectures and you will succeed.
Dr. Johnson was a terrific professor. He challenged his students to make sure they understood the material. He really does cares about his students and makes the class easy to learn.
Quizzes and exams are easy, attend class to get lecture notes, engages students, and one final group project
Great professor, very knowledgable about the course. Syllabus and course content are very clear from the start. Reasonable expectations for course load and student participation. Lectures are engaging and provide students with the information to do well on quizzes and exams. Highly recommend!
- Not too many assignments throughout the semester - One group presentation and one group project - Professor Johnson is passionate in what he teaches and loves getting the students involved in class conversation - Overall not too difficult and an enjoyable class. - Take this class if you have other difficult classes during the semester
prof. johnson was a great MKTG 330 professor! he gave one big overlying project that was worked on throughout the semester, and our lectures and writing activities tied in with the project and helped us better understand how what we learned related to the real world. exams and quizzes are all online and on our own.
Dr. Johnson is very outgoing, his lectures are always interesting and fun and will keep you listening. Exams and quizzes are lockdown browser but if you study using the study guide you will be ready. Everything is made clear and easy to follow.
Calm all around
Aaron Johnson was one of my favorite teachers I have ever had. I was skeptical in the beginning of the semester but I loved this class and learned a lot that I can apply to the real world with the sales process.

Nice Prof but he made marketing unnessiscarily hard. quizzes and tests are very difficult if you dont cheat which most of the class is doing on the online exams even in lockdown browser. questions on the quizzes and test are not related to lectures surprise surprise. I loved his vibe but this class made me lose braincells.
Very caring and interactive with students

Very engaging professor. Cares about you and helps you in the sales competition, wants you to succeed.
If you are taking mktg 337 dr. Johnson is the best option.
One of the best, be ready to participate, learn, and grow!
. Professor Johnson is always willing to help out; he cares about his students and wants them to succeed.
Cares a lot about students and the subject. Decent number of required activities outside of the classroom specifically for MKTG337, but nothing that is not manageable or helpful.
Be ready to speak in front of your peers a lot. Lots of beneficial public speaking practice. Show up to class and you won't be out of the loop on current assignments.
Extremely knowledgeable when it comes to sales, provides insightful feedback that helps you improve.
Dr. J was very helpful and pushed us to be successful. Lots of participation in class. He does a very good job making sure students are prepared for the sales competition at the end of the semester.
Dr. J is the best sales prof. His class is super fun and engaging and one that you will actually look forward to attending. There are only two exams and he does an excellent job at preparing you for the sales competition at the end of the semester. You get out what you put in with his class.
Great teacher, gives great feedback and is looking to help you out as a student and help provide job oppurtunities for you.
He isn't lecture heavy and participation is a huge part of this class. When he calls on students he makes sure that it's clear the classroom is a safe space, but he wants us to get out of our comfort zone. In regards to grading, he is very clear with feedback and will always explain why you received the grade that you did. He is really great!
Dr. J made 337 very informative and entertaining, making me more confident and ready for the sales competition. If I were to recommend a professor to choose for 337, I would definitely choose Dr. J
Dr.J is awesome and wants all of his students to do well. Would recommend him for 337.
Professor Johnson was one of my favorite professors I have taken. His lectures are very interactive so be ready to get called on even if you are not ready. Super fun and highly recommend especially if you like sales.
Best professor I've had at Salisbury! Cares about his students and wants them to succeed especially in the sales competition. He is always there to answer any questions you have
He is the best marketing professor at SU! He is very clear and deliberate in his lectures, the class is easy to follow and engaging. He keeps the class from getting repetitive or boring and wants all students to succeed. He will put you on the spot and call on you but it is crucial for success in this class to be put out of your comfort zone.
Is extremely funny and enthusiastic every single class. I honestly look forward to his class; however, the possibility of being called on randomly is kind of nerve-racking.
Professor Johnson is a great teacher because he wants you to succeed. This is an actual class that I would definitely use what I learned in the class in the real world. Best teacher!
Great professor! Very engaging and passionate about marketing specifically sales. I definitely would recommend reading all of the rubrics for the presentation and practice role-play because he can be a tough grader about little things. Dr. J is the best professor to take if you want to prepare for the MASMI sales competition!
Johnson brings a lot of real-world experience into the classroom, which makes the material more practical. Quizzes are mostly conceptual/applicable and can be tricky, so follow the provided notes and charts very closely. He values engagement, and it shows. Quizzes, briefs, final, and semester long group project (can be grueling) so get to work!
