Dr. Chicotsky is one of the best professors Ive had the privilege of taking at TCU. He cares deeply for his students and will go to great lengths to help you succeed. In addition, its clear that your professional success is one of his top priorities. I cannot recommend his class enough. Hes a stand up guy and incredibly impressive.
Dr. Chicotsky is an amazing lecturer. For this class, you will most likely work in groups. Main grades are 5 "intervals", or marketing brief, final pitch, some online quizzes that are on quizlet, marketing simulation (around 100$ total), participation (graded mainly on in-class assignments). You will work with real-life clients, but overall, easy.
Chicotsky is a nice guy and all, but there are so many grades, to begin with. He releases feedback so slowly and isn't that responsive (I know he's a busy one). His intervals are graded harshly because an expert guy grades it and expects students to be of "industry standard." Definitely not as easy as everyone else thought to be.
Dr. Chicotsky's classes are cool - they're not traditional college classes where you read a book and take tests. Classes are him giving ted talk-style stories of his crazy life. The books are written by actual businesspeople that you'd read in your spare time, not 200$ textbooks.That said it's not a blow-off class, there are a lot of projects.
I'm only giving this a bad grade because for an unexplained reason he tanked a lot of people's grades on a marketing simulation that was supposed to be easy points and inputted it the day of the final. My grade dropped 9% despite working really hard and there was zero explanation as to why so many people failed it.
Professor Chico's experience in the field makes his lectures so engaging and insightful. The individual weekly workload is manageable, and the semester long project is too as long as your group doesn't save all the work for the end. He also provides lot of networking opportunities so take advantage of connecting with the guest speakers!
He is an entertaining lecturer and no tests. Just a group project that is applicable to real life. He will sometimes bring in fun guest speakers. Take this class with your friends and it is really fun/easy. However you do have to spend $100 to pay a group instead of a textbook which is annoying.
Attendance is mandatory but lectures are engaging and he has lots of cool guest speakers. All of the weekly assignments are super easy and the rest of your grade is the group project. As long as you follow examples you will do well on that part of the class. He loves networking so definitely make an effort to build a relationship and hell love that
There are so many grades, to begin with. He releases feedback so slowly and isn't responsive. His intervals are graded harshly. Definitely not as easy as everyone else thought it to be.
He is very smart and knows what he's doing. The main part of the class is the group assignment. If you have a good group and communicate well, you will get a good grade. Classes normally include a 15-minute lecture, and hour-long inspirational speech on Professor Chico's business experienes, and time to work with your group on the project.
Attendance is technically mandatory but you can check in and not go. Majority of the grade is based on a semester long group project with multiple deliverables with huge groups up to 8 people. He gives vague feedback and horrible instruction. Also 5% of your grade is paying 190$ so that you can do 3 quizzes in two textbooks one of which he wrote.
I love professor Chico, he is my favorite professor at TCU. His attendance is mandatory but he makes class fun. There are no tests just some quizzes related to readings we had. The whole class is basically just one big project all semester long, but since it's in groups it is not hard. He brings in guest speakers and wants all students to succeed.
Don't take this professor unless you want to guess your way through the semester-long project with no guidance and forced to use your own judgment and then graded harshly on expectations that were never given.
You have to spend so much money on websites and books to use. You pretty much have to guess your way through every quiz, and he gives little guidance on the semester long group project. He grades very harshly and is extremely nit-picky, for example my group got points taken off because he didn't like the color we choose for our presentation.
As a marketing major, I did not get much out of this course and it caused me to want to switch majors. You will spend so much money on textbooks and have to pay $100 to give ideas to a company seeking marketing advice??? Makes no sense. Lectures are random and nothing correlates. I hated the group project. No guidance and very harsh on grading.
Dr. Chico is extremely enthusiastic and highly involved with his students. He brings a great energy to the classroom and is very accommodating. The class is based on one group project, but he is a great resource to use with whatever issue you run into.
Favorite professor I have ever taken. If you're an aspiring entrepreneur or very interested in business I would recommend. Relevant group project that you can put on resume and really teaches you how to market and perform market research. Great class, mostly everyone gets As
Lectures have nothing to do with the project or assignments. Good guy, but he just rambles on and on and has no grading criteria whatsoever. Impossible to contact because he makes you talk to the TAs.
Interesting for sure. Attendance check-in's were through selfies at the start/end of each class. This was the first semester Chico gave a midterm/final, but they were relatively easy if you read the book. The main grade for this class is based on the semester-long group project. Tough grader but gives in if you set up time to talk outside of class.
Chico is super nice. However, there is not a clear grading criteria for the group project. Also make you take a selfie for attendance, which can be annoying.
Loves to talk. Talks the entire class and nothing he says is on the tests. Semester long group project that is extremely time consuming and overwhelming. Constantly says to submit "business work" and not school work, but provides NO clear grading criteria. EXTREMELY picky grader and will take off for the way you worded something
Class is fairly easy, but is a waste of money. Have to pay $200 for the textbooks alone. Also is impossible to reach Professor through email.
This class is required for pretty much every business major as far as I'm concerned which is a huge shame. Brandon is an arrogant professor who loves talking about his success. The class itself is pretty easy and easy to get good grades on. This was the first semester where he gave a midterm and final which were both free points. Overall, painful.
Requires attendance which is annoying considering he just talks about his success or has his friends come in and speak and nothing from it is on the exams or relevant to coursework. The group project is way too overwhelming for a core class, and has no little criteria. The textbook load is super expensive and is hardly used, fairly suspicious.
It was really hard to do well in this class. He is SUPER picky on the intervals which should've weighed more than they did for how he graded them. He doesn't prepare you well for the exams either. Chico's teaching style would probably be better for only upper-levels like seniors and graduate students than sophomores and some freshmen.
Very cool guy with good stories that are very inspirational but extremely confused the majority of the class. Very difficult to know what he wants on the intervals and the final/midterm are stuff we have barley talked about in class.
Really nice guy, but did not like this class at all. The lecture information seemed irrelevant. The attendance policy was strict and you had to take a selfie everyday. The grading and guidlines were very unclear for the project and you would get points off for very small things. The midterm and final were not easy.
Has great connections in the business world, but is useless as a professor. No grading guidelines and DOES NOT provide any help at all. Unfortunately the only professor for this class. Feel bad for future students.
Class is mostly common sense but there no clear grading guidelines at all. TAs were not helpful when I asked questions about the group project.
Not my favorite class, but definitely pretty easy. Class is around 100 kids and would definitely benefit more if we had smaller sections. Nice professor, but makes you take a selfie each class as proof of attendance.
Class is a whole waste of money. I couldn't stand how he made it literally impossible to contact him unless you sprinted up to the classroom after lecture. Beware of the syllabus quiz as well. That thing took me forever.
Attendance 100% mandatory with 2 photos at the beginning and end of class - only 1 absence grade is dropped. Midterm and final are purely textbook material but can still be tricky despite studying. He talks for all 1.5 hours of class but you still don't learn much. Project can be graded harshly but definitely a useful experience overall.
Chico is a professor who brings a ton of real-world experience to the classroom. He can ramble during his lectures which makes it unbearable at times. Studying the textbook will make the exams fairly easy. He does require attendance which is exhibited by making us take a picture at the beginning and end of class. Overall, I felt I learned a lot.
Lectures seemed to go on and on and on with his rambling. Makes you spend a ridiculous amount of money on materials you barely use in class and is a waste of time.
Chico is a nice guy and I think he genuinely cares about students. That being said, his lectures often derail in to personal stories and anecdotal advice that is honestly not always good advice. The work in his class is tedious but he is an easier grader than he lets on to be when it comes to the group project.
There are the good and bad of him. Mostly bad. He has had some good speakers come in, but other than that, nothing about this class is fun. His lectures are just him going off on a tangent.
Chico is getting way too much hate. He is so impressive and genuinely wants to give us good insights. His style of teaching may not be for everyone, but getting an A in the class is 100% achievable. He brings in cool guest speakers and is flexible with changing project criteria and is understanding of student needs. #JusticeForChico
I adore Chico. He goes above & beyond for his students by bringing in incredible guest speakers and always being open and available to further our professional development in any way he can. He is truly so selfless! It breaks my heart that people are taking his effort & true passion for his students for granted... He is the best! #JusticeForChico!
This class has potential but with his style, it will never be done. Chill dude, but lectures are pointless. I learned more from the book then his hour long ranting.
Marketing is mostly common sense so naturally the class is easy. His lectures are pointless as he tends to ramble on about something that is not pertinent to the lecture. He brings in some cool speakers but they usually don't have anything to do with the material. Assigns pointless work after every class along with a quiz. Sadly the only option.
This class is easy if you just do his quizzes and work. Lectures can be super boring, but sometimes he brings in speakers. I feel if the class were smaller, it would be super interesting. He changes the class each semester.
Really cool dude who really cares about his students. It seems like it's a lot of work each week but it's really not and people are over stating how much it truly is. Easy A- if you just do the work and come to class.
Don't love him, but don't hate him. He's chill and does assign pointless tasks, but I guess that's his job. Quiz every day after class but if you show up he gives you the answers.
The rater who said Chico was narcissistic does NOT know how to use that word in context, nor do they know the definition. Chico is a fantastic professor who cares so much about the success of his students. People need to stop complaining and being lazy - we go to a great business school.
Its not that bad. One group project, quizzes after class. Easy to get an A
Chico is a great professor that tries to make class fun and engaging and has a lot of real world insight. He is funny and gets a lot of cool guest speakers. He is a good teacher and the homework isn't hard and doesn't take that long. There is a big group project but it is not that bad.
One group project/presentation with easy homework every class. He's a cool guy, but just not my style. Seems like he is always bragging about nonsense, but he is very knowledgable and has good connection.
For an intro marketing class, he is decent. I think he would be a great teacher for upper level classes, but as an intro teacher, he is not the best. Lectures are just repeating from the textbook. No organization and drags the class on forever.
Marketing isn't my fancy, but I think he is willing to adapt to student feedback. Show up, do the work and you will get an A. Class sometimes feels long, but the material is super basic. Was not blown away with his teaching in any way, but it is manageable to sit through.
Better Professor for more advanced marketing courses. Lots of fluff and not the most organized class. Much more Quantitative than Qualitative when it comes to grading. I don't feel the best about him and my opinion is very neutral but i think that has to do a lot more with the class size being so large.
The class is easy if you do the work. The lectures are SO BORING and impossible to follow. There are group presentations by different groups every day, giving you the material. He doesn't necessarily TEACH the material as much as he just regurgitates what is said in the group presentations. Upset that I spend tuition for other students to teach me.
Professor Chico was an awesome teacher. He is a generous grader and a kind person. He cares so much about his students and has a lot of valuable insight. I feel prepared from this class. So many grades put into the grade book so it all averages out well. Midterm was so easy, final will be harder. Hope he will take away the big group project.
I really hope that Neeley can adjust this class or try a new professor. Great guy, but just don't think he is meant to teach in a large lecture setting. The class is easy work, but his lectures are all over the place.
I changed my major out of marketing because he made this class so miserable.
Class is very easy, but his lectures are straight misery. I don't know many times I counted the tiles on the wall when he was talking about random topics.
2 exams (midterm and final) that are straightforward. He seems fun outside of the classroom, but does not know how to structure a large lecture hall. Hard to create a relationship with him because he ignores email and makes TA's respond.
Great guy, he really loves TCU and Neeley students he has a lot of energy but having 200 people doesn't help with this class. He changes A LOT there is only 1 group presentation which isn't bad, and my favorite part was that he brough amazing people to come speak to us about their companies and he is just such as character. Great guy!
Maybe it was just me, but I could not stand the way he ran the class. Sits back and makes students teach the class instead. Then will come up and ramble for the rest of class. I hope there is consideration about how to make this class more effective for students.
He is not the best professor. Did bring in a lot of good speakers who provided good info about business overall. Chico is a professional rambler and rants about nonsense.
Don't understand the bad reviews. A very nice guy who cares for his students and wants them to succeed. He listens to feedback given from students and actually uses it to improve his class. Super understanding and very straightforward on what is expected with assignments. I thought he was a great professor with lots of outside knowledge.
Chico is a great professor that genuinely cares for his students and wants them to succeed. He is very adaptable and often sought feedback from students on how to improve the class. The workload is very manageable and he truly made this class as easy as possible
Don't listen to the bad reviews. Chico is a great professor who truly cares for his students. Sometimes the lectures are boring but he does everything he can to relate marketing to the real world and brings in numerous impressive guest speakers. Chico wants his students to do well and provides countless resources for sucess in and out of the class.
Class is a big waste of money. Easy, but makes you pay for textbooks you barely use.
Super chill compared to what everyone said. Only have to show up to class for a guest speaker. I still go to his regular lectures, but they are extremely dry and bland. Workload is manageable.
This is going to be a loooooong semester. I kept pushing off this class until I finally had to take it.
This class is completely optional and only requires you to attend during guest lectures. Dr. Chico is nice, but this class needs a replacement. Seems like he barely puts in any effort and is more focused on trying to hire people for the sales center instead of teaching the class.
While I agree he is not the best teacher, the class itself is super easy. As long as you do the assigned work and pay attention, you will get an A. Exams are a piece of cake.
Awful prof, awful lectures, exam questions aren't even about marketing. Saved by a few interesting guest speakers, but you will be tested on them. Unfortunately you cannot avoid him.
For a guy who is big about branding, his personal brand seems to be very low. The class is so bad, the guest lectures are somewhat interesting. The test are not too bad, it is just the worlds most boring class. I swear he just gets on stage and word salads. Unfortunately he is the only teacher. He seems like a good guy outside of class however.
If you want someone who has a PhD about how to talk about nonsense, he is the perfect professor for you.
He gives a marketing "simulation" during the semester that is not clear at all. Can really lower your grade if you don't make the right decisions. He doesn't even know how to give us advice and always says "Email Stukent if you have any questions." Very frustrating for a professor who doesn't know the material he's assigning to students.
Lecture style. Attendance is sometimes nessesary sometimes not. Exams are proctored. Easy going class. Just rlly got to study for the exams cause thats honestly all ur graded on.
He seems very knowledgeable about marketing, but is a terrible teacher. Does not know how to structure a lecture and teaching is just not his thing. Only a few exams so make sure do good on them.
There's one big group presentation with exams mixed in. The lectures get extremely boring 2 weeks in and he loves to talk about random topics. Bad news is he is the only professor and you have to take him. Get ready to fall asleep.
The only reason kids rate him badly is because he makes the students work hard for a good grade. He is so smart, and is so willing to always help if needed. He is very well connected, and if you need any help, he is an awesome resource. Take him!!!
Attendance was only required some days, and he usually canceled class before breaks. The first test was easy, then got harder, but overall, the class isn't too difficult and there's not much work. Group project was graded easily. Simulations are repetitive but manageable. He's very supportive of his students and is always willing to help.
Mr.Chicotsky is the most passionate teacher I've ever had. He truly cares about what he teaches and wants the best for his students.His D2L and lectures are very organized and straightforward. He is easily available outside of class and is very caring. Highly recommend taking advantage of the extra opportunities he offers! 100% TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN!
Dr. Chicotsky's guest lectures offer valuable insights into marketing levels, benefiting both classroom and real-world applications. I highly recommend the Market Research Project, which enhances understanding and allows you to opt out of the Mid-term and Final exams. It requires effort and can be enjoyable with the right group. Great class!
Chico is a great guy, very personable, but he is not a good teacher. Class mainly consists of group presentations and guest speakers. He spends less than 20 minutes per class actually teaching. He also makes it clear to not contact him directly, and he doesn't offer extra credit and refuses to round up a grade.
Very personable guy, just doesn't teach. Guest speakers come almost every class and you don't learn anything but you have to come or you get a grade deduction. Wish there was another professor that teaches this course.
Class is a waste of time because half the time it's guest speakers, then half the time you are not required to show up. I wish he would put more effort into the actual lectures because this could be a really interesting class.
Professor Chico doesn't teach a lot because there's a lot of guest speakers and the simulation and exams are hard for no reason. If you're interested in marketing, do the project because you'll learn a lot and it's a lot easier than the exams.
Worst course I have taken at TCU. Chico doesn't teach at all, he just blabbers about himself and let's other people lecture. His tests aren't good, and he doesn't round anything ever. Not a hard class, but Chico makes it unbearable.
This is definitely not a fun class. His lectures are so dry and unappealing, which is why he has to bring in guests because he can't teach himself. Gets repetitive towards the end. Sad because he seems successful, but doesn't know his way with students.
Terrible way to teach this class in a 200+ lecture hall. Exams were difficult. Optional project to be exempt from Exam 2 and the Final.
3 in-class, lockdown tests worth 65% of your grade. Small easy group project-15%. You can opt to do a big group project to replace the 2nd and final test, it's a LOT of work, but you pick your group and you learn more from it. Class not mandatory unless there's a guest speaker, but there are a lot of guest speakers and you get last minute notice.
This class is not well structured and all over the place. You learn nothing because half the time he brings in guest speakers since he is incapable of teaching himself. TA's do most of the work. Optional project at the end which is a lot of work and lands you a mid-tier internship. Not worth it
Esoteric language without much substance in the class. You won't learn much in this class, except for how to make simple concepts seem complicated. Unless you want to be a morally corrupt consultant, I wouldn't suggest putting this class off and hoping TCU finds another marketing professor.
I won't say much in the hopes that this doesn't get taken down like many of the other bad reviews have. I'll just say I apologize in advance if you have to take this class. This class should be called memorization management or guest speaker yap session management. (Re upload #3, every time you take this down Chico, I'll bring it back)
I did not wear my seat belt when I was driving to this class everyday, in hopes that if i was flung from my car seat, I at least would not have to endure his class for that day. This describes this class. Thanks :)
Easy to get a grade but you will learn nothing with his rambling. Very dry class that get tedious with no actual marketing involved. TCU needs to find a new professor
I used the tag "Hilarious" and not because I'm tickled pink. What's also hilarious is the four consecutive 5-star reviews you see if you scroll down... strange. Newsflash: Don't say the class isn't mandatory but then email us at midnight requiring us to come with questions for those poor guest speakers. It's desperate.
I gave Chico a 2, but my review got taken down, so now he gets a 1. He's a good dude, but a horrible teacher. He belongs in the real world, not in a classroom. He uses overly ambiguous words that don't make sense. I didn't learn a thing. Genuinely, I don't know anything about marketing after taking this class. He's the only option, so good luck.
So glad to be done with this class. He cannot explain anything clearly and overcomplicates the easy topics. Truly ridiculous how Neeley students have to pay extra credit for his class. Waste of time and money.
1 Group Project + presentation with a couple tests. That's not the issue, its the professor. I could have taken the tests and done the presentation without showing up to a single lecture. Professor Chicotsky should have no place in Neeley as teacher. The guest speakers could have taught the class better. Extremely frustrating for a nice guy.
His nickname should be called “The Midnight Sender” because he would send out emails extremely late at night and expect us to read them. Absolutely ridiculous. Good luck underclassmen with him.
He is a really nice guy who tries hard, but I just don't think has the skill to teach such a large class. He makes himself unavailable to many students, which is why no one gets to know him. Tests are easy if you study for them. Well suited for business, but not teaching. Very sad
Just a bad class with a professor who doesn't care. The only Neeley class I dreaded going to because of his lectures. Drags on the class for long periods of time.
Actually somewhat surprised by the negative feedback from other students, but I do understand. This is a tough neeley core class. Unlike others, you actually do have to learn and pay attention. I will admit, either Chico is incredibly accomplished or is capping, lol. HOWEVER you will really have to work to earn above a B,B+ The class was helpful
Attendance is only mandatory on guest speaker days. Pretty lackluster lectures I could've learned on my own. As long as you do the work the class is easy, but you learn nothing.
Was not a fan of how he taught the class, especially with his slides. Often went on to talk about things completely different from chapters and ranted. Class could've been done virtually and learned on my own. Very upsetting considering we pay so much for “top tier” professors.
Even though the class is easy, his lecture style is very hard to follow. Extremely all over the place with copy and paste slides. I did not learn much and was hoping for a more engaging experience. I hope TCU reconsiders someone else because Chico is clearly not the right one for this class. Great businessman, terrible professor
I took Chicos class this spring semester and was extremely upset with the way he constructed it. I thought I would come in and learn how to apply marketing, but half the time it is our own classmates teaching who don't know anything. Guest lectures were hit or miss, and the class could've all been done at home.
I had heard great things about his class going in, and he seemed like he was passionate. However, he changed his class so that the exams are comprised of random information from other peoples' group projects. He tried to course correct because the class was too easy, and now it's hard in the worst possible way because it's straight-up unpredictable
The lectures could've been better, but the voluntary semester project was one of the most valuable things I've done in a class setting. Great team experience, challenging but doable, and it's been helping me stand out during recruitment! Highly recommend. The overall class is fairly easy as long as you read. I feel that Chico wants us to succeed.
He is a great professor who genuinely care abouts his students. His quizzes and tests are super easy and he lets you use AI for lots of different things.
One of TCU's worst hires. He would often just ramble about random things and did not teach any marketing I was hoping for.
Terrible professor. Had favorites, the class was a joke, did not show any enthusiasm about actual marketing concepts. Very disappointed, was so excited about this class but would ramble about his own life. Brought in ponzi scheme speakers, that always talked about nothing. He talked ALOT about NOTHING. The presentation of the semester was a joke!!!
Chico knows his rate my professor is bad and he is actively trying to be a better/easier teacher. He was super nice and helpful, and his first exam was super easy. Gave study guides and even filled them out sometimes. Semester long project but not too hard. short quiz and discussion post due before class once a week but again, not too hard.
Dr Chico was one of the most passionate and enjoyable professors I have had at TCU. He has a lot of knowledge from his crazy life experiences and loves to share them during class. The only thing I wish was changed was the toughness of grading. He gives tons of feedback but does not grade fair enough after changes according to his feedback are made.
Dr. Chico was a nice professor who was flexible with deadlines.
He just told us in class to go and write a review so that people would think he's not crazy. Ummm. Easy assignments because he uses AI to grade everything except the group project which will make or break your grade because he is an insane critiquer. His only instructions were on a doc and he didn't teach us anything related to the group project.
Don't take his class. He is unavailable to his students, takes weeks to respond to emails, and grades very harshly. For a project gave everyone in the class a 70, but he expected us to do things on the project that he did not teach, nor was on the rubric. He graded harshly and took off points on things that were correct. Lazy yet harsh grader.
I don't know why he doesn't have great reviews-- he has been one of my favorite teachers if not my favorite at TCU. His tests are pretty easy and the only big project is a group one and its kind of fun to do. I really reccomend taking him he really is great!!!
Chico was great I enjoyed Marketing the most out of all my classes I had this semester If you're looking for something more than just a marketing credit he's the guy has great connections to the business world as well.
Very passionate about marketing and wants his students to succeed. He made the lectures interesting so you stay engaged and there was homework but it wasn't heavy. He is a tough grader when it came to the group project but overall a good class that was manageable. Brings really good guest speakers and applies a lot of his teachings to real life.
He had a lot of critiques from prior years. Since the start of the year he has been adamant about fixing what people did not like and being better. Lectures are engaging and he has great knowledge and expertise. He grades hard on the project but rationalizes it by wanting us to be able to use it for our portfolios. He cares about his students a lot
He was positive and clearly cares about his students. Brought energy to each class and tried to make the material engaging. I felt like much of the course relied more on deductive reasoning/ common sense rather than structured learning. The project was graded harshly, & because many of us are not business majors, the expectations felt unrealistic.
I really enjoyed taking Professor Chicotsky's class, he had very engaging lectures, he definitely cares for his students, and would get back to you quickly over email.
Avoid him at all costs
DO NOT TAKE HIM! Listen, Chico is passionate about marketing (and good at what he does) BUT he does not need to be a professor. He is an insanely tough grader on the group project. The instructions are too vague.
He grades very very tough. Cool guy that seems to care a lot about what he does, but cannot teach to save his life.
I dreaded coming to this class everyday. Very dry speaker and cares more about himself then the students.
Chico was great for marketing, I think he can get a little carried away with non related stuff sometimes but he really does mean well. I would take this class again, just go to class and you should be fine, the tests won't be challenging as long as you go to class and pay attention.
Chico is great at marketing and passionate. He is not meant to teach. His grading criteria for the group project is unclear and graded harshly. He wants to push you to be industry ready but can't offer clear instruction on how to do so. Advocate for your grade if you have to take him. Everything else is easy but take the project seriously.
Do not take this class if you actually want to learn marketing or if you like life. He uses AI to grade everything (and I mean literally everything). Had to get projects/assignments regraded so many times because his AI program didn't grade it properly. Had about 10 friends take the class with me and all hated it. Trust me, do not take this class.
Loved him! You can tell he is genuinely passionate about teaching/marketing. We had a semester-long group project--he was a tough grader, but was also very reasonable and good about adjusting grades and talking through grades with students. Weekly quizzes and discussion posts on an online textbook. He's easy to reach and wants students to do well!
Stay away from him if you actually are wanting your moneys worth.
