He enjoys teaching, but he does not seem interested in the "technical" stuff...like testing you on your knowledge. The class is really easy, and it should be no sweat to pass. You'll learn something if you want to but you don't really have to in order to do well.

This class is not structured like a typical college course. His expectations are that you gain a basic knowledge of concepts, not definitions, models, etc. That's not what marketing is. The best thing that you will walk away with is a new way of thinking about business. Being an experienced marketer, that's what marketing is, not textbook stuff.

Really easy professor. No tests, just have to write 3-4 memos (3 pages max) and submit them on due dates. No attendence is taken. He does not give any definitions at all, so if you are a marketing major and might need to know those definitions in the future, you will need to study on your own. Otherwise- highly recommend taking him.

Easy A. Write 3 out of 5 papers. Class Attendance Not mandatory. Class is like a discussion group. While the textbook isnt needed, I'd read it if you're a marketing major plus it makes writing up the case studies easier. My only suggestion, write the 1st paper, which is the easiet, and dont leave them all to the last moment.

Take him if you have a chance! Pr.Heath is great. He has extensive knowlege of the subject and plenty of real life experience in marketing. He makes going to Baruch worth it.
