Easy A+

Terrible prof, doesn't care about the students. spent more time talking about his own businesses and coke and pepsi instead of teaching the course. don't know where the test questions come from! try studying off the book's website.

The most biased and opinionated prof I've ever had. If he likes you you'll get a good mark, if he doesn't, you'll have to work very hard to get a good mark. You have to suck up to him for him to like you. Hint: he loves Brittney Spears.

Terrible teacher. Don't know why he is teaching. terrible class. What a waste of money???

BORING! Unhelpful. Unclear. Stupid hard midterms. Final's not so bad. Assignments aren't too bad. Try to avoid him at all costs.

Brock is a great person, but he reads directly from his PowerPoint notes, he does not go over information in a different way then the text, you could fall asleep in his class but every once in a while he tells a good joke. He's a very intelligent and successful person but that does not mean he is a good professor. Don't take Intro Mktg with him!

This guy is an arrogant ass. If you want to be forced to go to class and listen to him tell you how great he is, then take this class. Oh yeah and the tests are crap. They're impossibly hard and half the class fails. Also he marks from a key, and when the key is wrong, he doesn't care and refuses to give you the marks you deserve. Brock blows.

Very arrogant, thinks he's the best prof on campus. Lectures are useless but attendance is mandatory.. does not give reviews for exams and the entire class always does badly. However, he marks on a curve so everyone does decent. I got a C+ in the class and barely studied at all. Just bring something to do in class or you'll fall asleep.

worlds worst professor. Unless your working on a degree in Brock Cordes, don't take his class. Egomaniac. He will show up late to your first class, guaranteed, just to prove his time is more important than yours.

This man is very stubborn, rude and egotistic. He promises at the beginning of the year that he is the best professor that school has, but completely missing the mark. He teaches directly from the text so classes are useless and he doesn't give clear instruction for what he wants in case studies. Very biased to his own opinion. Cannot teach.

There is absolutely no point to attending this professor?s class besides the fact that he takes attendance. He does not teach anything but instead just goes off on wild tangents that do not add any value to the class. You are expected to write papers that will be graded strictly with little direction.

Awful professor, doesn't care aout individual students or assignments until the last week of class. Instructions are unclear and he is late to every single class. Talks about himself every class but the exams are multiple choice straight from the textbook. TERRIBLE.

Definitely one of the worst profs I've ever had. Incredibly tough marker and I still don't know if I've learned a thing in his class.

His lectures encouraged a new outlook on certain concepts but this did not help with the exams. No feedback on essays but not a hard class

I honestly do not understand why GMGT 1010 is a mandatory Asper class. If you know anything about politics, the economy, or basic history you will learn nothing in this class. He talks to hear himself, not to actually teach.

Reads completely out of the textbook, absolutely no value added. Only reason to show up is he takes attendance. No one in class engages in class. He has a huge EGO get ready to listen to him blather on about himself and all sorts of pointless drivel. Would never take another class with him. However, easy grade.

I have terrible experience in his class. He is unprofessional and did nothing more than repeating the textbook. Reading the textbook is what I can do at home. But he force you to seat in the boring class by taking attendance every class. I think he should retire and let other prof teach this course. Think twice before taking his course.

Really bad lecturer. His class is boring. After taking his class, I totally lose interest in marketing.

His did not explain well. The exam is complicated. You cannot learn much from his lecture so that you have to spend several hours each week afterwards.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Get out immediately if you still can. He has no business being a professor. Final exam contained questions with definitions from another textbook. Reads out of the textbook during lectures that are mandatory. I reiterate. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

The guy is as good as brain dead. Case outlines are really vague and the feedback doesn't really help. He has a no technology rule in class so you can't use a laptop to take notes. Goes through a unit every class but doesn't expand on topics well. Exams are tough. Conclusion: Brutal prof, try to avoid him if you can. Highly not recommended!!!

LOL, this prof is by far the WORST prof I have had at the University thus far. There is literally no sustenance to his lectures, as they are completely useless for exams, papers, and the final. Get ready to read though because that is the ONLY way you will be passing this class. Memorize it word for word and I am not joking. GET A DIFFERENT PROF!!!

This prof is by far one of the worst I've had to endure in university. - Classes are mandatory as he takes attendance - Lectures are boring and do not cover material that is examined during the midfinal - Examination material is originates mainly from course book or online questions Overall, he is okay as a person but he should not teach.

WORST PROF EVER. tests are absurdly hard, instead of questions about how to start a business and things like that, questions are about "who said this quote" and statistics!!! Syllabus not relevent at all, horrible prof. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

350 characters is not enough to say how awful he is. Spends most of the class talking about himself, dosen't answer questions, assigments and test are about quotes and defentions and have nothing to do with business. He expectes you to memorize the textbook which is long and overrpice and he rude to students. WORST PROF AT U OF M!!! AVOID!!!

If AT ALL possible, I'd recommend avoiding Mr. Cordes' class. It is difficult to summon an adjective for how sincerely I implore you. Text book is great, a standout mkt text.

He was probably the worst prof I ever had. First of all he does attendance, and his lectures are mandatory. Because if you don't show up you can lose 5% of your grade. Secondly, his lectures are useless, not helpful at all. He's always off topic. Mostly talks about his life, and what he's achieved in the past, blah blah blah.. Worst prof ever!

Attendance is mandatory in his class. His lectures are useless; might as well read the textbook itself. He is passionate in teaching this course but he doesn't know how to teach. Grading criteria for case studies is very vague (he doesn't check it himself).

Never had a teacher show up so late so often. Class starts at 8:30 am and all the students are at their desks waiting for the class to start. At about 8:45 am Brock wonders in and starts the lecture by 9:00 am. Ironic since he's big on mandatory attendance. You'd think a past marine and president of a company would have his time under control.

Taking a class with Brock was really boring. I should have taken the advice I got from reviews on rate my professor. He doesn't know how to explain course material properly & I believe if you skip the class you would still get an A. You get no feedback & he just talks on & on about things not important to the class. Really boring class.

Hes there to talk, not to teach. he markers on a standard curve so you have to compete with other people to get a good grade. group presentation - make sure you try to outdo the other groups because he marks based on how all the previous groups did. never walk out of class early !! he will tell you to sit back down. 3

Lectures are completely pointless. READ THE TEXTBOOK. This is one of the classes you NEED the textbook since the exams and papers are based on it specifically and he doesn't teach what is in them very well. Attendance is mandatory for participation grades which is very annoying since the lecture is useless. Exams aren't bad, as long as you READ.

If you skipped every class and read the textbook you could still get a good grade. Participation matters, but lectures are boring and irrelevant. Overall grade is heavily curved, no feedback on group projects.

I wouldn't recommend taking this class with Brock. He can certainly talk but he cannot teach! Very difficult to figure out where he takes questions from for tests. He takes a long time if he ever does reply to your emails. Will be mainly textbook reading. He doesn't seem to care or try to help students. Overall not a terribly difficult class.

Brock is not well organized. On the syllabus it said one due date for the case studies but he chooses another day. He swears at his students and is not very helpful. He gives attitude and is just not ideally. His lectures are very long. He doesnt talk about most of whats written in the slides. He rambles on about useless things.

Terrible prof. Gives no instruction as to how to go about doing assignments, doesn't give feedback on anything, 5-12 minutes late coming to class everyday. Currently studying for my final exam, and only know 20% of my grade up to this point. He did not grade and give back any of the papers or projects that were due months ago. Absolute scrub.

Absolutlely awful! It seems like he does not want students to excel he does not give good feedback at all

worst prof I have had in my multiple years of university. unable to clearly state what is expected for assignments. makes things way harder then it needs to be. would not respond to emails. make sure you have the textbook because his lectures are useless, all questions come from textbook. would show up late to class frequently.
