There are 2 professors here with the same name. The one I am writing about is Beomjoon Choi for Mktg 122. I found this professor to be hard to understand w/accent, too hard of a grader, and rude. He comes across as arrogant and his tests are extremely difficult. I don't recommend him for Mkt122 but I think he's the only one that teaches it.

Avoid this professor as much as possible. Teaching style is not great and isn't able to explain what he is trying to say properly. Gets mad for going to his office hours without an appointment although it says in the syllabus you can meet him during his hours OR BY APPOINTMENT. Makes exams really hard, class average on the final was in the 60s

Most infuriating human being ever. Askes simple questions, no direct answer. Lectures fast, claims everything is on the slides, but only 10% are. Very dfficult to understand. Tests are difficult, no study guide, takes random attendance, doesn't care, strict and group projects. If he is your last resort, I'd wait for next semester for someone else.

His accent makes him difficult to understand while lecturing, which makes it makes it difficult to take notes. PowerPoints are used, but have minimal information on them. He takes some questions from quizzes and mini sims, but others he writes himself and are hard to interpret because of the language barrier. If you can, take another professor.

I do not recommend taking him at all. He is rude and condesending, and not accessible outside of class. he does not like questions. He writes his test using such bad grammar that his questions are hard to understand. He does not enjoy his job and it is clear. I finished with an 89.9 and he refused to round it up.

Do not recommend this prof at all. He is not accessible outside of class and does not like answering questions. There is a lot of group work in this class, and he is not very useful when it comes ti feedback for anything. He does not round up grades and in class he is incredibly condescending .

He gives you so many group projects so be prepared for that. His exams are kind of difficult because he makes his own questions and some of it does not make sense. He is very picky when it comes to group projects as well. He can also be rude sometimes if you ask questions.

This professor is the worst one you could probably take. He lashes out on his students when he's irritated or something is not going his way. Whenever you're presenting, he just sits there with a face that's either showing no interest or irritation. Do yourself a favor and dont take this professor even if he's the last one in the available list.

NOT understanding of online course situation. requires that you use your webcam during class. grades on dumb stuff like creating questions for other presentations. high expectations. condescending & visibly RUDE during presentations. gets annoyed easily. lots of extra credit, but the class is almost competition based & inhibits healthy learning.

He gets frustrated easily. Random attendance check. The exams were long and there was not enough time. 2 Exams, 2 case assignments that you work with a group, 1 group project (15-25 pages essay), 1 final exam. Would not recommend. Have to study a lot.

I do not recommend. His tests are 60-70 paragraph-style questions with poor grammar. You have about a minute to do each question, but it takes about 3 minutes to even understand them. Wording such as, Which of the following is least likely not false. Tons of group work. No feedback or reasons behind grading. He Couldnt seem less interested

18 credits this sem. and he's the only 1 that didnt give me an A. Horrible teacher. Reads pre-made lectures given by textbook company verbatim in BROKEN English. U could read the chapter and get more out of it. Me: US Army Sniper, raised by 2 educators 1w/ masters 1w/ Dr... Take it from me, boycott his classes. He is terrible. His tests are weird.

This professor is one of the laziest in the marketing department. He teaches nothing, even lecture notes are directly from the assigned book. He does not know his craft and when you question him no matter how politely put he is aggressive. How he is still allowed to stay at Sacramento State is beyond me. He grades unfairly without detailed reason.

This class is way too involved for a 101 class. Too many different things going on at once: Tests, group projects, case studies, etc. Tested on vague terminology that can be easily confused with one another. Tests with lots of question with little time to complete them. No guides for tests "Just read chapters 1-7." Take something else.

This online class is the worst I've taken. He relies heavily on participation, though it is not part of the grade. When you do actively participate, he doesn't provide much feedback and isn't afraid to tell you you're wrong. The homework is vastly different than the exams. Extremely tough grader with little feedback to help on future assignments.

top 3 professor from the bottom up

Choi honestly ruined marketing for me. He is the worst professor I have ever had. Avoid this class, trust me.

This is actually a review for MKTG190. I don't know if it was because it was a summer class or what, but this was awful. I enjoy the subject matter but he made it unbearable. Picked on students all class. Will scream out your name demanding specific answers randomly. It was pretty evident that this material was hard for some to grasp. NO CHILL.

Very judgemental of student work and get demanding of certain features not expected by students. Group work is very detrimental to grade. Judges group work very harshely. Presentation went over time by a little and he cut the grade in half just based off of the time. Very good at showing his disappointment with sighs and a face full of attitude

do not recommend!, takes his emotional issues out on students, not helpful outside of class. doesn't respect his students, always interrupts and cuts them off. Is not considerate to students at all. He thinks hes nice but is not. creates group projects & shows sighs of disappointment when presenting & doesn't make himself clear when explaining.

not prepared, not helpful

decided to take professor choi and has been the worst mistake of my life. This professor does not take his student serious and makes wordy exams. Professor has anger issues and takes it out on students. Good luck if this professor was your only option.

Professor Choi did have very interesting lectures and was straightforward when presenting his material. However, despite being so straightforward he was also very narrowminded and didn't accept an answer that didn't exactly match what he was expecting, which would discourage participation. Had very hard exams but provided extra credit.

His exams were very hard for me. I would study all the materials from my notes, but when it came to the test, he words things very confusing. Long tests that are multiple choice. I am an A student, but I could not get a B or higher on all 3 exams no matter how much I studied. I never missed class and took extensive notes and still struggled

He doesnt even teach that well and expect you to know everything, he literally had to give our class 30 extra credit points for the first exam because the average was a 50%. His assignments are horrible, just don't take him save yourself the time

Don't take this guy. A lot of group project. Save yourself some time.

Do not even bother taking this class. two projects with two presentations and three exams. Not enough time to study or work on the final project. Extremely hard tests. The average was 50% on the test.

This guy is a joke Don't take him at all.

Made one of the most simple classes so hard, I hated taking this class because of him

Horrible teacher that can't even teach a simple marketing class

always had a discouraging, grumpy attitude that he made clear we knew of. everyone seemed to almost fail every single exam because he was not great at teaching. study the lectures for the exams. most of the actual work is team projects/presentations so if you have a bad team, it makes it hard to get a good grade. individual assignments were easy.

Awful. The group projects are weighted heavily and he grades very harshly. The exams are nothing like the lectures or textbook readings and he doesn't go over the exams afterwards or let you see what you got wrong. He grades participation but also tells you you're wrong no matter what your answer is. Save yourself the stress, just don't take him.

Always suddenly blocked the lecture notes with pictures. The exams were very tricky--many questions were very wordy with five choices. Exam scores averaged between 65% and 73%. Gave tons of extra credit because of these low scores. He also gave two major group projects, each with a presentation AND a paper. Never gave ANY feedback on missed points

HORRIBLE professor and HORRIBLE attitude. He's extremely rude, even when you try and guess an answer he just shuts you down. Exams are extremely difficult, barely anyone passes them and ends up giving extra credit. Group project heavy course. Don't bother taking him unless you want to be shot down every time you try and participate.

Amazing teacher, no complaints. Group up with people similar to you or you can kiss your points goodbye.

The professor never gave any feedback if he docked your points on any assignments. He gets very moody and takes the group project presentation too seriously as if it's a real thing. 3 exams including the final and the average was around a D for each exam, making each exam unnecessarily harder than what it has to be. He enjoys seeing students fail.

Do NOT EVER take this professor. He gives two huge projects with presentations and a paper on top of 3 EXTREMELY hard exams. He wants us to fail and does not care if we pass.

Your success in this class is based on luck. You need a good group for the projects, and you need to study the right chapters for the exam (which is not always clear). Participation is required, but he does not accept anyone's answers as correct or complete, which made everyone hesitant to answer. Good luck, you'll need it.

Worst marketing professor by a mile. Makes group project impossible to follow as guidelines are not clear at all. Only took his class because it was the only one availabale. Tests are also 50 questions long and you must read every single word on the textbook

Professor is very strict in grading and group projects are worth a lot of your grade. Tests are very difficult and he does not provide clear study guides. Good luck figuring out what to study because the test is nothing like the class unless you memorize the entire textbook and all the small details. Attendance is taken at random so go to class.

Not a lot of homework which is nice, but questions asked on homework do not resemble exam questions. The exams are extremely hard and he grades very tough on the group project. He also rarely gives class time to get together with your group which sucks if you have a hard time getting together with your group outside of class.

If you have the option to choose a diff. prof. please do!The exams are heavily graded and are super long scenarios that all sound the same. He provides lectures in class however isn't clear on the definition of terms, his response is always"It may be" "possibly"which leaves everyone in the class confused. The project an 8k word paper+ 15 min presen

Exams are never discussed He never discuss scenarios in his lecture neither his hw Group project 2month in length and its for over 6000 words. The exams are very wordy and long. He never curve or give option of extra credit also that you are graded in your project based on group members rating to you, any miscommunication between group members=Fail

3 group presentations. Peer review after the final presentation only serves as a way to deduct points. You'd better pray you get teammates who don't thrive off of drama and aren't willing to give you a bad peer review just to sabotage you despite going above and beyond to meet their needs, otherwise you can say goodbye to 10% of your points.

I just finished my final and now am sitting in a bathroom crying because of how awful he is. Although he was so rude to me and my friends on so many occasions I still made the decision to just let it go. He will find the littlest reason to humiliate you in front of the class.

Worst professor I've had at Sac State. Never had a C on my transcript until this class. Exams are 50 questions with heavy reading. On final day, only gave 1 hr 15 min, couldn't finish, grade dropped from 82% to 71%. No grade rounding, no real extra credit. Snappy, closed-minded attitude. Avoid.

worst professor ever the exams are literally 50% of our grades like literalyy wtf .i'm gonna be retaking this class because i didn't pass the last exam so project as 20% of the grade. participation/ quizzes/ attendance 30%. LMFAO GOOD LUCK

Professor Choi is very knowledgable in his field but his criteria for passing his classes are close to unmanageable. Having so many units otherwise, taking his class is very difficult. It doesn't help much that he expects you to figure out even when you ask for his help. If youre not passing his class he blames it on youre not taking good notes.

Don not take class with. It is hard to understand him and his Exams are tricky and not like the quizzes book and his slides. Does not matter how much you study or try or even participate in his OH still you can not get good grade. Disappointing.
