DO NOT TAKE HIM. HE DOES NOT HELP YOU WHEN YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, AND WHAT HE TALKS ABOUT IN CLASS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT IS ON THE TEST. HE ENDS EVERYTHING HE SAYS IN QUESTION FORM AND EXPECTS YOU TO ALREADY KNOW WHAT HE IS GOING TO SAY. WHEN IT COMES TO TESTS YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER 5 THICK CHAPTERS WORTH OF MATERIAL AND THERE IS NO STUDY GUIDES.

nothing related to the book... exams are online "straight from the book" .. 50 questions= 50mins.. i freaked out every time!

If you're looking for an engaging and all around good professor, don't take him. He doesn't lecture about test material. His tests are online, 50 questions in 50 minutes, which is nearly impossible. I've done well ONLY because you HAVE to read the book. Homework online every week, 100 questions each chapter. Basically you teach yourself the course.

Professor Natesan does not understand the tiredness that his students go through to deal with his uncaring attitude. He does not respond to your emails, he only cares about his side of the situation and cares less to take you words for consideration. He does what he wants and doesnt care. He did not pass me with an A even though I had an 89.8. BOOO

Here's the thing. Online class during a pandemic is tough, but guess who doesn't care? Professor Natesan simply does not care about his students. He was also very harsh on Zoom to the classmates who are struggling and calling people out for no reason. Also said he would try to get students kicked out of school if not in GroupMe.

Everything is through connect, yet an hour and half zoom is mandatory even though all he does it repeat what connect already tells you. The dept is using proctorio plus which is awful and inconvenient CLEARLY. Why does the prof care if the test is open note if its not his material that hes teaching. All of my profs are open note except him.

He does not care about the students, Online class due to COVID, even if your power goes out he wouldnt care, say its your fault and wont allow any makeup exams. SmartBook assignment or quiz is due almost every other day including Saturdays. He does NOT teach to the test because he wants to make sure students actually read the book.

I spend the most time on this class and it is really basic stuff. He doesn't even make powerpoints and he just talks about very random examples that don't help. He doesn't allow you to see problems you got wrong and he provides no feedback. His zoom sessions always have a good 30 minutes of a rant on how we have been doing something wrong.

If you are a full time student, STEER CLEAR ! This professor puts out A LOT of homework. His homework is very time consuming and honestly does not help with the corresponding quiz(which he doesn't provide feedback for). His lectures, in my opinion, are not informative. To be honest, even if you're part time...I suggest taking a different professor.

If you enjoy condescension, useless lectures, and having very little feedback or recourse to improve your grade, then Chinna Natesan is the professor for you!

Dr. Natesan has interesting things to say in class but does not lecture over the quiz or test material and you will be forced to read the textbook and memorize hundreds of terms. All work is done on Mcgraw Hill Connect. You will have to teach yourself and study diligently. There are 2 quizzes per week and 5 exams. He does not give feedback.

Quite possibly one of the worst professors in the McCoy business school. He doesn't have any power points and spends every single one of his lectures talking about useless materials. Every class he starts off by telling us we are all doing everything wrong and how he refuses to teach anything on the test at all because its "not his job".

He says he provides reviews but they are summaries of the chapters, and the summaries are so long that you might as well reread the book. Also he doesnt teach to the test because hes too lazy to create one and just gives out a McGraw test. Thats why he doesnt let you know what the answers are, its answers to McGraw hill not his own test.

He spent the first 2 days talking about how much TXST values teaching then proceeds to spend the next 4 months not doing that. Grading is point system and he has it so that if you make 90/1000, its still a B. He says that if you are boarding on a grade he will see how professional you were to see if he should round you up. Dont take this guy

Prof Chinna tells his students to be understanding but he will not extend the same courtesy. I emailed him 3 weeks ago and no response, asked the same question in class and was ignored. He ranted about how it was the students fault for poor grades but wont teach. He told us to ask questions, he answered 2 then said he answered all and moved on

He's completely incapable of preparing his students for exams. The majority of students do poorly on the exams despite studying the material and participating in class. He will tell you to review the book after taking the quizzes, but does't allow you to see what questions you got wrong on the quiz, so you have no idea where you need to improve.

HW does not do anything to prepare you for Quizzes or tests... I read each chapter(multiple times) still didn't pass... taking this class is like soaking up water with a rock.... Offers ZERO guidance on how to prepare you for the tests and quizzes. I'd switch majors in order to never take this man again...

Probably one of the worst professors I've taken at Texas State. It wouldn't be so bad if he let students go over what they missed on tests, let alone quizzes, but he allows none of it. He's always condescending during lectures, and even then, the lectures do nothing to prepare you for graded coursework. His class is unnecessarily difficult.

Literally the worst professor that I have ever taken. He has no power points, his lectures are legit him only talking to you about the Wall Street journal, and he preaches about being professional. I have not learned a single thing from him. He has no material to help you on exams or quizzes. Honestly if his is the last open class, wait a semester.

He "offers" extra credit (2 surveys for a total of 1 point). I've sent 3 emails and he responded to 1 only after I emailed him saying the problem was resolved. Prof Natesan doesn't respect his students, he asks questions then makes a fuss when nobody answers in 5 seconds. I am going to break my laptop if I hear "well?" one more time.

I am a senior at Texas State and professor Natesan is easily one of the worst professors I have had at Texas State. He cares more about doing things his way than actually ensuring his students are learning. He has literally scheduled quizzes and tests on the same day. He also comes off as very condescending pretty often. Don't take this professor.

Worst prof Ive ever taken. Never met a man so arrogant and condescending. He acts like if something goes wrong it must be the students fault. Very strict and loves to talk about professionalism. Lectures have nothing to do with test, 2 quizzes and 2 chapter readings due each week he drops 2 quizzes and 10 hws. This class requires a lot of time.

The worst professor I have ever taken at Texas State. You would think we are in a global pandemic he would be more considerate but no. Tons of quizzes every week, lectures off topic, and tests have nothing to do with mandatory zoom lectures. Marketing should not be that hard. Would not recommend

Do not ever take this professor. Majority of the grade is based off proctored quizzes that you take after taking hours and hours of notes from the textbook and still make failing grades on most. His lectures are useless because he just goes off on tangents about "personal examples" for 90% of the class. He is unprofessional and late to all classes.

Although Professor Natesan means well, his method of instruction lacks meaning and essential consideration towards students. tbh, the entire course is reading the textbook and showing up to a required lecture that has nothing to do with main topics. he does not teach. The answer for everything is "read textbook". assigns way too many readings.

Do not ever take this professor. His lectures are useless because he just goes off on tangents about "personal examples" for 90% of the class. He is unprofessional and late to all classes. In my class he started harassing a student who showed up to class late. He constantly tells the students to act "professional", but never acts professional.

DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS! He is rude and his lectures are absolutely useless to what is on the tests. He also is extremely unhelpful for example I asked why the answer he said was the correct answer over the other *professor says I am not your tutor if you do take him do not read the book read chapter reviews and and PowerPoints good luck

Do not take him, it's a waste of your time and money being spent on him. He is a narcissist, will not help you, blames everything on you when you do not understand. He does not teach about the topic, it's all personal or off topic crap. He said "this is not a class where you should expect good service because you paid for this class."

One of the worst professors to come out of McCoy. Lectures are useless, narcissistic person.I highly recommend taking someone else, especially if you want to learn about marketing - because whatever he is teaching is far from it.

This man is the worst professor at Texas State. I promise you will hate this class, please don't be like me and stay away from him. Uses inappropriate references, doesnt use powerpoints or any presentations (just stands and talks in front of class) and allows NO electronics - not even iPads for note taking. Attendance is required for no reason.

Essentially there are three things that count for your grade. Smartbook HW's easy 100's, proctored chapter quizzes, tests (Both proctored and difficult). Do you get to see what you missed on the quizzes before the test? Of course not how dare you think so. Your time is better spent reading the book than going to class. He just stinks.

Lectures are boring and he just talks the whole time with no PowerPoints or anything. Proctored quizzes and exams if you take this class online. Dont take

Lecture's are totally useless. You have more luck staying home and just reading the textbook to get a better grade. Tests and quizzes are online and the wording of questions doesn't match what the textbook says. Lectures are even further from the actual information you need to know. This prof does not believe in electronics, and does not teach well

Has super long, boring lectures that are completely irrelevant to the material on the exams/ quizzes. Coming to class is mandatory but his lectures dont help at all for the quizzes and exams because he just talks about his life and goes on many tangents. Does not respond to emails ever. Does give extra credit though. Drops the lowest exam grade.

Hes annoying and obsessed with himself. His lectures are useless, its all self taught from the textbook at the end of the day. He said attendance was mandatory but not for a grade, I honestly barely went and still did fine in the class even though I was teaching myself all of the material. Hes kind of funny on occasion but more just rude.

Natesan is the worst professor I have ever had. No electronics allowed, tons of work to do, and incredibly difficult tests. All quizzes and exams are STRICTLY proctored online and he is incredibly full of himself. Blames tech mistakes on the students and does not allow you to make up any assignments due to tech or life issues.

One of the worst professors I've had to date. Very narcissistic and impressed with himself. He stressed the importance of "professionalism," yet routinely arrived to class late. Overall his lectures didn't prepare us for the exams/quizzes. I just stopped going to class, instead using that time to study more for the quizzes and my grades improved.

Please take any other professor. This prof went on tangents and did not effectively teach the course. Just a pain to go to this class every day.

Chinna Natesan will consistently waste your time in lectures that are mandatory that provide no further insights into the field of marketing or even the homework's provided. The material from the SIMbook assignments are easy and fairly straightforward. The quizzes are ridiculous, forcing you to pull on information that wasn't given to you by him.

Preaches professionalism but is late to nearly every class. Attendance is mandatory but his lectures are straight talking -- no powerpoints, notes, nothing. He can be funny at times but rambles until the bell. Proctored quizzes & tests (difficult for an intro), the software is frustrating. Condescending & unhelpful, 10/10 recommend NOT taking him.

For the love of the man up above, please DO NOT take professor chinna. He is the worst professor i've ever had. the quizzes and exams are over material we did not learn and he talks about nonsense all lecture, then when its 10 mins til class is over he starts cramming the actual material in. he is never willing to help you out. also uses proctorio.

He is the worst professor/teacher I have ever had in my entire life. very disorganized, doesn't lecture about anything related to the exams, and is a total waste of time. He shows up late to his own class 10-15 min every class period, he didn't even have his class up on Canvas til the 3rd week of school, gives out no study guides.

Legitimately the worst professor I've ever had. Lectures are required but pointless, no slides, computers not allowed, and he rambles on about stuff that doesn't even pertain to the course. Quiz and test always have questions never covered. He purposely tries to make this class more difficult than it should be, don't take this dude no matter what.

Worst professor at TXST. Attendance is required but they are pointless. He doesn't believe in powerpoints or electronics being out in class. His exams are very difficult, and you have to read several hours out of the textbook to have a solid understanding of the course

The most painful lectures ever! He barely covers the content in the textbook. He mostly spends time yapping about stories semi-relating to the content. You gain no advantage coming to class, don't go. Your time would be better spent at the library reading the textbook, which you'll need to do anyway. Exams are VERY thorough.

Professor Natesan makes this class way harder than it needs to be. To me it seems that professor Natesan takes pleasure in seeing students struggle in this entry level course. Routinely late to class, often rude and snarky during lectures, and he provides no feedback during office hours.

i am usually fair with professors, but this might be the WORST professor ive ever taken here. The class is do able but you have to constantly read the textbooks quizzes are impossible without reading. Exams are tough too. He doesnt write anything on the board just rambles on about random things during lectures. You basically have to teach yourself.

He rambles in class about the most random things. Quizzes and exams are all proctored with webcam and lockdown browser. You can't do well on quizzes or anything if you don't read the textbook as they are literally pulled from there and his “slides” don't help at all. If you can avoid taking him avoid it, if not it'll just be a lot of work.

This professor has to be one of the worst professors i have taken at TXST. This professor will not email and communicate back and its unprofessional. I emailed him twice he replied once and the next question he never replied. His lectures were never helpful and the quizzes are difficult. Be prepared to teach yourself. Avoid taking this professor.

Dr.Natesan will take and entire 1hr 20min lectrure and cover 1 page of the chapter from the textbook. Teach yourself. I spent the entire course staying home and instead using his chapter lecture slides, taking notes, and doing mcgraw assignments to prepare me instead (mind you i had to take hours out of my day for this!) but it was better than him.

This guy is awful. One of the worst professors at Texas State. His lectures are very boring and pointless because all he does is just yap about nonsense that doesn't relate to the material. Quizzes and test are very difficult and proctored. Two quizzes a week. Attendance is only for rounding border grade, better skip if you want to pass. DONT TAKE

Don't take this rating the wrong way, but he's just lazy. He's a tenured professor so he doesn't care. If you unfortunately have to take him like I did, everything is online and it's a do it at your own pace. The lectures aren't helpful so there's no point of going to class because everything is online.

I've never seen a professor seem more disinterested in what he teaches than this manTheguywould ratherwatchyoufailthanactually help you.I know this because he's never in his office for office hours and his quizzes and tests have zero answers. Unless you go to his office hours which he is never there. I'd rather eat a shoe than take his class again

Be ready to use Mcgraw Hill. There is a long chapter assignment for each chapter of the book and on top of that a quiz that you have two tries on but can never see the answers to. He is not willing to move any assignment dates even if you are going to be gone for a SCHOOL EVENT(this happened to me). Hard to study for his tests other than read book.

Don't take this prof

By the third week, only a fifth of the class was still coming to lectures. Attending lectures was worthless, since he is very adamant about teaching "application", rather than from the textbook or to the test... which is the vast majority of your grade. You're better off pretending this is an online course and just reading the textbook.

You might as well not even show up to lectures since he goes over literally nothing that will be on the proctored quizzes and exams. He obviously doesn't care about his job since he shows up late to every lecture (sometimes up to 15 mins). Don't expect any help via email as he automatically refuses leeway from anything, no matter the excuse.

Says no electronics in class but then EVERYTHING is online. You don't really need to show up to class, it is a waste of time, class is hard to sit through. Expect McGraw hill and proctored exams. Also he doesn't show what your grade is.

There is zero reason for a marketing class to be this difficult. Exams were extremely specific and many answer choices were very similar. Even with extensive studying, getting an A is almost out of question. Lectures were very boring and then he wonders why no one participates. He preaches professionalism and is routinely late for class. Don't take

He is not a compelling speaker and is just a bit rude in my opinion. He doesn't allow computers in his class which I kind of understand but that's also how most people take notes. His tests are hard and his syllabus is regularly wrong.

His lectures are “real life examples “ where he actually doesn't explain any material. If you're lucky you will get 15% of the material covered in class. It is a waste of your time showing up. His exams are online w proctorio based on the textbook which he doesn't cover. This is a in person class but you have learn everything from txtbook

I feel like his exams and quizzes are set up to fail. I study hard each time for everything I have to work on and I still recieve low grades. His lectures are all real life examples and I just don't understand how it's supposed to help me on the assignments, for example we spent a whole class talking about pillows.

Worst professor I've ever had. Stresses the need to come to class but doesnt teach anything. He blabs about real world examples the entire class and barely touches the textbook material. Brags about being the first to teach a digital marketing class but the way he runs is class is outdated and not helpful. Avoid at all costs, just doesn't care.

DO NOT TAKE! Worse class and professor ever. Somehow the McGraw Hill assignments, tests and quizzes were not about what you learned in the McGraw Hill textbook... Also, you may think it's not so bad it's all online... wrong everything is proctored and you can't even see what you missed after. Made me change my major from marketing to ACCOUNTING.

Lectures aren't useful. Reading/Taking notes on book is essential. Rude and condescending about technological issues. Always showed up late to class. No technology in class. Blunt, but upfront about it on day 1. Proctored exams/quizzes. If you're expecting an easy A, this is not the class for you. Compare syllabi before choosing a professor

Worst professor ever. The lectures are a waste of time; he doesn't even cover 1/4 of a chapter. Everything is based on the textbook, and they pull out the most random niche questions, so it is extremely difficult to get a good grade. The only people who did well cheated. He shows up late and blatantly doesn't care or show up to office hours.

He will lie to you day one saying “if you give a dam then I will give a d*m” spoiler alert he does not give a d*m anyways. He showed up late to every single class. He will act like it's on you for choosing him as your professor which only works if there was literally any other professor to choose. Lectures + smartbooks =\= exam or hw info needed
