The best teacher in the whole school....Made life as a senior a wole lot easier!!! God Bless
Taught the class loosely based on the book. Allowed us to discuss issues and cases and only intervening to make a point. Class was fun to go to and you got out of it what you put in.
Went to his class only on review days and got an A.He is the best made my last year a great one.
The best professor ever. Very inteligent, funny and easy going. He makes the class very interesting and easy to pass with A ( hard to get a lower grade). I hope all professors could be like him. I strongly recommand him!!!!!!!!!
Consumer Behavior. This class is a joke - no attendence, come the day before the tests cause he GIVES YOU THE TESTS - no number changing, no bull - STRAIGHT UP - the exact test. You have to try to get less than an A in this class. Easiest teacher ever!
Easy professor, doesn't take attendance, but notes are important his entire exams are based on his lectures, you really don't need to buy a book, if you want use a cheaper/older edition. Great Guy.
Great Professor. Class could be more rigorous though. Great understanding of all aspects of marketing, but you may have to ask to get the information.
An endearing guy and an easy grader, but can I say BORING??? Literally had to drag myself to go to that class. I don't know about anyone else, but I rather would have had a semi-difficult professor who taught in an engaging manner. I would have definitely learned more.
Very considerate. Funny
easy A just show up for the review and exam. he make you do a project but just get in touch with someone who had him b4 to get the project and but change to fit your product. he isn't very interesting but who cares cuz no attendance required. Cab't mess this up even if u tried.
Teaches very loosely, relying more on real-world cases. Very easy grader on written cases. No exams, no group work. Lectures sometimes drag because of lack of structure.
He is one of the best people to be around. Show up to class everyday and you are assured an A
Who cares, if he isboring, he makes your life easy when others make it hell. Trully a great professor, he doesnt take cr*p from anyone and doesnt give you a hard time. Take this guy, you wont be disappointed.
No attendance, no exams. Only 4 2-page memos, the last of which was made optional. Doesn't get much easier than this.
Really boring class, but it's an easy one as well. It complements the workload of other heavier classes. Don't take him if you really want to learn anything, but he's an easy grader.
Great teacher, encourages participation. Cares more about real life strategic marketing, than being able to take a multiple choice exams
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.
He is all that and a box of chocolates. 2 MC tests and a so-called project.
He is soooooooooooooooo boring. granted, he is an easy A. But you never feel mentally stimulated. A vegatable can pass this class. I wish I took Ruckle maybe I would have learned something.
Easy going professor that i ever meet in Baruch, funny, focus on real life case studies, give you exactly all the questions b4 final, don't take attendant.
easiest class you will ever take in graduate school and you learn something - easy and fun
extreamly easy, like you wouldn't believe. I really sat with my group in five minutes and finished the group project. He wants it to be under 5 pages and perfers it to be an outline rather than in paragraph form. MUST TAKE THIS CLASS It was such a breeze
Very easy and intellectually stimulating. Interesting discussions and clear, straight-forward assignments. A must-take!
HE"S THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Easy A!!! Great class.
VERY EASY but you wont learn a lot.
Very nice guy. You don't realize how much you've actually learned until later. Be glad he's easy. AND helpful and friendly too. Questions? Comments? Public complaints?
Gives case studies, which is much more useful than learning textbook definitions. And actually knows what he's talking about. He just totally wreaks of Awesomeness!
Brilliant Professor, doesn't burden you with BS work. You must know your stuff and participate.
Easy A. He's a very cool professor. Knowledgeable. Gives exam questions before test, MC. Don't buy the book. Not needed. Take him.
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.
He is very knowledgable about marketing and keeps class interesting. It is an easy A, but you feel like you learned something while you're in the course. Discussions are great and usually a lot of fun. He's a funny guy and the class is as good as the students make it.
easy A! awesome professor.. attendance not required, book not needed. go to class, sip ur coffee, relax and enjoy. great class!
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. If he decides to teach another class, I will definitely take it. His lectures are more like discussions, everybody gets involved. He seems to know everything about everything.
A must take for every guy doing MBA.Not just because he grades easily and has no finals..but because his style of teaching is apt for a marketing class.He gets the best out of u.A very practical professor and always available for any help.very informal in his style of teaching and Marketing is not just teaching but a way of life for him. Take him!
VERY CHILLED OUT PROF. 4 CASE STUDIES, 20 % WEIGHTAGE EACH, 20 % WEIGHTAGE FOR CLASS PARTICIPATION. VERY NICE SENSE OF HUMOUR. TAKE HIM FOR EASY GRADE, NO COURSE WORK, NO LEARNING.
HE IS THE EASIEST A.
prof. heath is the bomb! he is so layed back and chilled. easy A - lectures a little boring but he so cool.
Prof Heath is great! You will enjoy this class-workload very fair-Good, Funny, Enjoyable professor.I have taken him a few times.
One of the easiest classes I have ever taken in my life, but I didn't learn a THING this entire semester. If you're looking for a GPA-booster, take him. If you're looking to actually get anything out of the class that's useful, don't take this class.
He's awesome! =) you need to keep contact with him and do what you're supposed to do and you'll get an A. The class is not a textbook lesson, its more hands on experience in making an ad campaign. I'm taking him again! =)
useless piece of SHIt ...should be fired.... to much favortism and discriminates... u dont have a fair chance in his class... I hope he gets fired cuz he an ASS
worst instructor so far in Baruch, useless , can't teach anything, does favortism and discriminates based on .... DO NOT take him !!
Useless class. Did not learn anything. Prof. is technologically challenged and teaches using OHP from the book. No sequence of topics. Does unfair favoritism to students he knows names of. Final grade dependent solely on his knowing your name and NOTHING ELSE. Class discussion is hokey and sometimes irrelevant. Stay away from this Prof.
Not sure why he is still teaching, should be fired. Keeps the dicussion with few selective students . If you do not want to learn anything and waste your money and time , take him .
Ridiculous class. Prof. is totally biased. Only gives A to students he knows by name. If you want an A, simply participate in mindless discussions. There is no structure to his teaching. Goes through the book using his finger and OHP. Total waste of time :)
Worst prof. ever. Stay away from his class. To get an A, sit in front and make sure to participate in mindless discussions in class. Nothing else matters :(
Worst professor ever :( To get an A, indulge in mindless discussions in class, don't even attempt to learn anything,and make sure he knows your name !!
A total waste of time and money :(
Easy class, no attendance. But no learning and need to suck up to professor for good grade :(
I planned to dual major with MKT, after taking this class ,lost interest totally. Bad quality, very unorganised teaching style, bad grading style.
You will fall asleep in the class, very boring. he does not even try to have interesting dicussion; drags too much on same points; his sleepy & drowsy face, unclear voice make the class boring and useless.
Are you kidding me !! This is such a useless class :( Prof. says he encourages participation, but it's just a farce. H doesn't care whether anyone else hears what someone has to say. Total waste of time :(
I registered during spring, dropped after few classes, try to avoid him if you have choice.
OMG..this class is such a joke. Most useless teacher. You learn nothing :(
You don't go anywhere with this class. Neither do you learn anything, nor do you have it easy, since you have to attend classes to make yourself known to the prof. in order to get an A. Rest everything is such a waste :)
I thought the class was fine, many don't agree. I learned and did well, it was easy.
Great Professor! He is very knowledgeable about Media and the industry because he has the work experience. Teaches many useful "REAL WORLD" things and he brought in alumni to talk about their experiences in the field and what kind of options you have if you go into the Media Business. Put the work in and you will enjoy it. Good, relaxed class.
I feel like I'm getting dumber each class I attend. His information is out of date and he over simplifies everything. He would be good if he taught a freshmen class not business school professionals.
Prof Heath is great, he's always there when you need him and i thought he taught really well.
I enjoyed taking Prof. Heath?s class and found him to be a very good professor. He very straight forward and makes class interesting. There were 2 papers 1 group project 1 presentation and a final. Overall I thought he was a fair grader and would take him again.
Helpful and straightforward professor. He has a good sense of humor too. I can only speak for myself, but I enjoy not having to work too hard for an A.
After the first 3 classes he stopped taking attendance. He hates when he has to repeat himself, when students asks questions, and when he himself is questioned. On the midterm there was a subjective ques that I tried to argue and his response was "that may be so but no". It's an easy B class, read the textbook, don't go to class-you learn nothing.
You will learn nothing from his class,also, the class is so bored that you would fall asleep.
The guy doesn't know how to use a computer. Displays the textbook on the board like it's 1978 and talks about each graph on the book for an hour. VERY boring. I didn't learn anything new in this class. No exams, only 3 personal essays and group paper + presentation. If you are interested in Marketing AVOID!!!!
Easy class, grade is based on three short papers and a group paper/presentation. no tests/. The lectures are pretty boring and have nothing to do with anything you need for the grade. He is really funny though, and very nice. You just wont learn anything.
Easy class and funny, nice guy. The class is entertaining but you wont learn much. The lectures can get pretty boring and really have nothing to do with anything. And there were not tests, grade was based on a group project and three papers.
Great professor for intro MBA course. Definitely knows his stuff but can be a bit dry at times. 3 case studies and a group project. Should have no problem doing well in the course if you do your work.
Super experienced Marketing dinosaur who is not the fastest guy anymore due to his age. Very basic class, in which he goes into detail on the most basic marketing principles.
He is very knowledgeable but class can be a bit boring at times. 2 case studies and 1 group presentation. No tests.
Interesting assignments and he grades easily. I'm very nervous about my participation grade - I tried to make myself visible throughout the course but it doesn't look like he knows my name, which doesn't bode well. He knows the names of people who participate much less/not at all. He seems to favor those in marketing field under big companies.
He thinks he is funny and hip, but he is just an arrogant close-minded person, who comes to class high off painkillers, and cant accept anything that doesn't fit exactly the way was taught- a total failure for someone who thinks he is a professor in marketing.
Professor Heath is not as bad as everyone claims. He's clear about the material and he only gives you what you actually need to know. He provides study guides, and the questions are identical to the tests. Yes he is boring to listen to, but he's old and he tries. Would recommend.
The only reason to take this guy is for an easy A. Class is awkward because he knows all the students by name but yours but it's so easy to get A's on all the assignments so the participation grade become irrelevant. Oh, sometimes he's amusing. I did not learn anything that wasn't common sense though.
He's very knowledgable and has a lot to share. But he's boring. Assignments are straight forward. Pretty much an easy A. Perfect for non-marketing majors.
Easy A. As a non-marketing major, Bill is amazing. One short essay (500 words), one midterm (tells you everything on it), and one group project (very clear and simple). Don't have to attend class or buy the textbook. Don't even have to pay attention, just show up to the midterm review session and he tells you everything on it (33 T/F). Take him!
Great professor easy A!
Baruch Bill is an old man with a great sense of humor. He keeps it real and tells you to just pay attention and you will pass. pretty easy A
I would only say this class is solid because attendance is not mandatory and there aren't many requirements. Just a group project, midterm, and a short paper. The project may be annoying to some because you have to find your own partners but overall it's an easy A.
He is a very nice old man and doesn't require attendance. As long as you work hard on the group project and the one exam given, you will get a good grade.
Do well on the few assignments given, which isn't hard to do, and you should get an A. Professor Heath is easy going and although lectures can be a bit dry, if you can take good notes this course will be a breeze.
No attendance, no textbook. Theres only 3 things to do in this class:paper, midterm, and project. The paper is super easy, you cant get less than an A. He reviews the midterm with you the class before and he uses the same exam every year. The group project is the only thing he grades seriously, but get a good group like I did and its an easy A.
