Class was ridiculously easy; same course material as a 100 level marketing class. Teacher was knowledgeable but lecture was boring. Quizzes were VERY easy. Semester group project was challenging but also on par with lower level marketing classes.

Nice guy, very helpful and knowledgeable! Class was easy but suitable for non business major

He is a very nice guy, he understands students problems and what they are going through. He tells you what will be on the tests and quizzes. Group project is pretty straight forward, obviously you need good team members. Other than that, grading wise he is pretty easy. I would definitely RECOMMEND Mr. Constant Cheng.

Constant is a really kind-hearted man who will go out of his way to help you. A midterm and final, and a group project. His grading is fair. Attend class often, study the things he repeats, and you should be fine for a good grade.

One of the best professors at Mason. He has been in the field and been very successful, so his advice and stories are meaningful. A little quirky, but he is always willing to help. Absolutely wonderful.

He is a really nice teacher. He truly cares about his students. He has a thick accent and sometimes it is hard to understand him. You do need the book to follow along with his lectures to do get a good grade.

I HAVE COMPLETELY NOTHING NEGATIVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS PROFESSOR! Very nice and very helpful professor; I loved his class. Tests are straight to the point, either you know the material or not. Cares for his students progresses. Willing to assist you in anyway possible..whether your not understanding the material, etc. I highly recommend him!

Very intelligens; knows his material; speaks 5 or 6 languages! Willing to help if you meet w/him, very respectful. He goes into tangents in class which make class interesting(can be distracting at times). Study quizes/reading and you will do great. I just got an A- in MSOM305. Minimun time required to study to get good grade. ISBN 978-0-07-731833-3

Nice professor and really helpful to students. Make sure you read though, and review quizzes and you'll do fine on exams

He is really nice and cares about the students but his tests are hard and the group projects are majority of the grade.

We had two tests, a midterm and a final. Four quizzes based on articles you have to pay for. A main project and a group presentation. He's a nice guy but his lesson plan was beyond ridiculous. I managed to get an A on the midterm and screwed up the final because of the amount of material that needed to be covered in between. This class sucks..

Study the book to do well on tests. Quizzes are slightly challenging so make sure you listen to the hints he gives you in the class preceding the quizzes. Also, although it is never mentioned in class or the syllabus there has to be some sort of curve. He is one of the nicest professors and a fair grader. You will learn so much from this class!

We had 3 tests which were all curved and 2 group projects, and if you miss class he posts his Powerpoints on Blackboard. Cheng is a super nice professor and has extensive knowledge in global marketing, but he tends to get off subject in class and it becomes a little boring.

very nice prof... he does ramble in class and gets off subject, but is still very knowledgeable in the subject and triiies to make it interesting

Nice guy and very knowledgeable. He attempted to bring real life example and current events relating to the subject and makes it interesting.

Great professor, helps when needed and makes pretty funny jokes in class. His accent is a little tough to understand but he does speak 6 different languages so with his experence it is deff a class you want to take. His exams come straight from the book and as long as you dont fall asleep in the class you should get a good grade.

Great class. Cheng is a funny and charismatic speaker but his stories do drag on too long (better bring a laptop to surf web). His lectures are simple power point slides so study the textbook and answer his quiz problems; you can easily pass his exams. 2 group projects, 1 presentation.Cheng allows students to choose who they want to work with too.

Easy class. Don't really need to attend lecture as he goes on tangents and gets off subject easy. All powerpoints are on blackboard. If you go to the class before the test he holds the test and pretty much tells you whats on it! Very knowledgeable, overall good class

I love this professor. He is just an overall great professor; he is funny, knowledgeable, respectful, etc. He is very fair and really tries to help you.

Go to exam review.Curves. Goes through group project with you to help as much as possible. Generous.

Smart guy. Go to exam reviews.. Helps out with group projects. Curves. Funny and enjoyable.. Take him

He is funny and easy going. His exam reviews are useful but you need to read the book though. This my second time taking MKTG. I wish I took him before so I wouldn't have to take this class again. Take him.

He is very funny and talks a lot. Attendance is NOT mandatory as you will learn nothing in class. Just read the chapters and you will be fine. Get a good group too and that's it. He also gives a study guide for the tests.

His lecture format may mirror the outline of the text perfectly, but it's more like storytime from a guy who has traveled, lived, and worked all over the world. If you have any interest in doing business abroad, forget the notes and just listen to his experiences. Exams are laughably easy, between slides and him telling you every question before

I only went to class probably 5 times, but when I did he's really interesting. Although the lectures are long and can drag just stick with it. Always come the day before the exam for the review, it will help! The assignments are easy, get a good group and it will help your grade. Good guy, great teacher, highly recommended.

Sometimes goes off-topic, but his stories are rather interesting. May need to spend some time talking to him to get an answer for your question. Gives a question-by-question review of the exams, which were pretty decent. Read the textbook & you'll be fine. The only thing he's nitpicky about is the group project. Hardly went to class.

His tests are extremely easy, he goes over them the class before. The main issue is the huge group project that's split into two parts. He's very willing to help and review drafts of the project during office hours. It's just a very big project worth a big chunk of your grade. Otherwise, his lectures are interesting and I would recommend taking him

Easy marketing professor. I only attended class on days before exams. The professor gives a thorough walk through of each question on the exam. Group project is worth half of your grade. This is the only headache. But if you turn in a rough draft he will go through it and tell you what to edit.

He has a lot of experience with business and knows many different languages which makes his lectures more interesting. He uses powerpoints but his lectures stray from them often. Class consists of 2 tests, 2 individual assignments, a group project, and a final. He also tells you what is on these tests, the book is somewhat helpful.

Simply put, he's the best professor I've had at Mason!!! He was really nice and helpful with everything, actually cooperates with his students, and keeps the class enjoyable. Take Marketing with him!!

He's a very interesting guy who's willing to share his many experiences. Definitely knows what he's talking about. There is really very little that needs to be done for this class - except for one case presentation and a decent sized paper, that's really it. He rarely goes the full lecture time. Provides exam reviews too.

Amazing professor. He's very knowledgeable and have a great sense of humor. You can learn a lot from his lectures. Easy A

Not a hard class, but class consists of 3 grades: midterm, group presentation, final. He gives a thorough review of the exams, which is good, but don't slack; those 3 grades determine your class grade. In other words, do well on the 1st grade (midterm), or your chances for an A may be effected. Speaks mostly on life experiences; low textbook use.

Bright, personable, friendly and helpful. Talks a lot about his own business experience, which was mostly interesting since he has been all over the world. Summer course grades differently than spring or fall course. Reviews entire exam prior to giving it, which is a lot of material. Highly recommend Constant!

Cheng is very knowledgeable and has lots of experiences to tell. Prior to exam tells what he is going to ask about(not the question) Having skimmed through chaps/slides could easily find answers. Does not babysit on the group project so whoever is a leader will prob work harder. This project became a good accomplishment story for a job interview.

Great Professor; very knowledgeable and personable; very helpful and nice; the exams are tough but manageable; you learned from this guy about how business is done internationally.

I will admit, this guy is not the best professor to teach the material. He goes off topic a lot and tests are pretty hard, but will work with you on that. Overall, not a bad professor.

He is very knowledgeable, helpful and personable. His exam is not easy but he provides a very detailed overview for it. As long as you study, you will do well. He talks about real business situations,and uses latest news events to illustrate important international business concepts. Highly recommended.

His lectures are long and boring, but he is probably the nicest professor. Group project is long and painful since you have to work with 6 other people who may not care as much as you. Exams are easy. Take him and hope for a good group.

The exams are easy but the group project sucks. I got A's on both exams but the group project pulled down my grade to a B. If you get a good project grade you will be golden

Professor Cheng is very approachable and shows respect to his students. There are 2 exams, one group project and one presentation. The exams are fairly easy and straightforward. The group project will require most of the work. I highly recommend professor Cheng.

I THINK EVERYTHING WAS EASY.

Nice guy. Very knowledgeable, Extremely helpful. Exams are manageable. Real life projects and learned a great deal. Make sure you get into a good group and get ready to work hard. Excellent professor. Highly recommended.

He's nice, had trouble sometimes understanding him bt he's full of energy! Exams aren't about memorizing concepts, they're mostly applicational type (which is harder). For the 40% paper,make sure u have gd group members+DON'T TRUST THEM TO GIVE QUALITY WORK+U might end up doing their parts too! ALWAYS CHECK AND REVIEW THEIR WORK+Get an Early Start!

Don't buy the book its a waste of money. this class is really easy only two exams and two projects make sure to pick a good group that is willing to put in work to get a good grade the major project is 40% of your grade so take it seriously. he is a pretty easy grader really nice guy but his lectures are kinda pointless. his stories make you laugh.

don't waste your money on the textbook, you'll have to get in groups during the first day of class so it is a matter of luck getting good partners for the research paper, make sure to go to class before the exam for the review.

Nicest guy, tough grader!

He brings his real life experiences to the class, he has great knowledge.

Very funny guy! He tells stories during some of his lectures. His tests are manageable, and he does give a quick review before the two exams. The group project is vital in the class. Make sure you pick good members because the project paper (20 pages) is 40% of your grade!

A very thorough professor. Geniuenly wants each student to grasp the fundamental concepts of Marketing and developingdescribing a MKTG strategy within a group. One large group project. 2 Exams with excellent reviews that will fool you into thinking you dont need to study, you do. The exams wont ask for definitions but application of concepts.

He makes class interesting and he really cares for his students. Make sure to get a good group, mine sucked and it affected my grade. Exams are tougher than I expected but not too bad, see if you can get your hands on past exams. He doesn't normally take attendance but occasionally he took attendance to show who actually shows up regularly.

This professor is very knowledgeable, and able to link concepts to real life business practices. His lecture slides were readily available and were on the blackboard. My group project was challenging, especially when some of my group members were not cooperating and submitted poor quality work. Make damn sure that you join a good group!!!

Professor Cheng is a really funny guy and a great professor. His lectures can be boring and uninteresting but he does his best to make it fun for his students. He genuinely cares and will give you all the help you need. Make sure to get a good group because 40% of your grade is a group report. Great at replying to emails right away.

Group project will kill your grade!!!! Group work amounted to about half of the class grade, and it's a semester long project so if you do not have a good group it's going to be tough. His exams are also pretty tough, sometimes the questions are confusing. He's helpful but those factors are pretty hard to beat.

Really nice guy, pretty funny lectures, willing to help. Do not need textbook. Likes to "swedish massage" (curve) tests. Group project is a pain and worth 47.5% of grade... Good lecturer

Easy A if your team up with good group project members. Recommend this professor.

Cheng is not a bad professor, he is just very laid back. Exams were online open-notes but timed. The marketing plan was dreadful because it is hard to get 7 people together to produce a 10-14 page marketing plan. If you have a good group then the class is super easy. Just 2 exams (midterm & final) and the marketing plan. He is helpful.

The professors is knowledgeable, approachable, and extremely helpful. He pushes us to achieve excellence and prepares us for our career by sharing his professional experience and insights with us. The real life Dragon Den project is demanding, but gives us an opportunity to learn how to prepare excellent presentation to prospective investors.

Cool professor! Very flexible and response! Good feedback and punctual! Grading is fair and he gives bonus marks! Awesome!

Attendance is NOT mandatory, you could skip all the classes if you want and get an easy B. The two exams are online and there is one group paper which is 2 pages per person. Definitely go to exam prep classes but all of the material on exams are in the textbook. Gives a heavy curve on exams and great feedback on the paper draft.

Excellent professor. Really care about his students and their learning. We had a real life global marketing project and learned how to do start-up funding. He is truly international and very knowledgeable. He provided clear guidelines for the project and ongoing support and feedback. He also provided excellent overview of the exams.

Very nice prof but his lectures can go dry real fast. He goes off topic a lot which makes the lecture unnecessarily long, although he ends the class early. Get a good group since group project is worth half your total grade. 2 online exams both hard. Make sure to attend the class when he reviews the exam!

The class itself wasn't too hard, there is just a midterm, final, experimatrix, and a group project (worth 50% of your grade). Just find good members and work hard on the project and this class will be a breeze. The midterm and final exams are take home, however, it will be difficult to search them on google bc he writes his own exams and its timed

Easiest Marketing professor out there! Everything can be done outside of class; online midterm, online final, and one big group research paper. He's very knowledgable and gives great feedback. Highly recommend!

Overall a very joyful professor who is passionate in the material he teaches. His grading criteria is very clear as well as the requirements for the project he assigns for the semester. Only small compliant is that his lectures can sometimes go off on a tangent that's barely related to the subject matter he's teaching. But overall very helpful.

Pretty good prof for this course, really kind but talks a lot. 2 online exams which aren't exactly a cake walk and a semester long group project which is worth half your grade so pick a good group! He also gives great feedback and sometimes gives bonus point questions on the exam. If you're on the fence for a letter grade, he will bump you up too.

There are 2 online, open book/open note exams & 1 group project. Pick your group wisely, the project counts for half the grade and does take effort. Talk to Constant throughout the process, he is always willing to help & pay attention to his feedback & your grade will be fine. Lectures are interesting and relate to the exams. Loved this class!

The SONA for the department of business is NOT the same as the SONA for the department of psychology. The SONA experiments is 2.5% of your grade. Use the link he provides you and if the link doesn't work, then ask him about it. Do not go out on your own and search for the SONA experiment or else, you will receive not any credit for the experiments.

Very nice and chill guy. He can go on talking forever but never uses more than 2hrs of the class period. Tests are all multiple choice and online. One group project that is straight forward. He is an easy grader and will curve and bump up individual grades if necessary.

The exams are hard, but he is nice.

Solid choice for marketing. Make sure to choose a good group bc the project is worth 50% of your grade. Exams are take-home and online but still pretty hard and tricky.

His exams are difficult because you can't change your answers. His lectures are really interesting, and he is a fair grader for the group project that is worth 400 points, or 40% of your overall grade. He's extremely polite and he is really helpful when explaining concepts and helping people understand how global marketing works. Solid choice!

Prof Cheng is such a sweet guy, but those tests are hard!!!! I studied meticulously but still did't get an A. Make sure to read your textbook and take notes!

I like him, its just that his exams are HARD. they are open note and you do not take it in class. But he makes his own exams and its hard. Get a good group, fix all of his recommendations on your project because it is 50% of your grade with a midterm and final exam. I like him he just doesn't need such hard exams for this class.

long lectures, but they are very interesting. you will learn lots of things outside of marketing. one big group project worked throughout the semester. 1 midterm and 1 final, online, open notes. kinda hard because its not just definitions you have to apply to concepts. you will pass by reading the powerpoints. the kindest professor i met!

Great prof

I'm not sure if the professor is "mean," however I only spoke with him once and it was okay. The grades rely HEAVILY on the discussion posts and one group project. Tt's more of an opinionated grade but you won't fail. He doesn't give the greatest feedback, but his class in general is easy. He says textbook are "mandatory," it's really not lol.

Prof. Cheng is a solid choice. His class is easy to pass even with an A. The only items I recommend focusing on is the 2 discussion boards & group project. 4 quizzes (aka exams) are v easy & open notes. He looks for the correct answer in the discussion board post, not really on how much thought you put in. For group project, pray for a good group!

5 open note quizzes+ 1 group project pretty much make up 50-50% of your grade together. You can score a 100 on all 5 quizzes, earn full SONA credit points, but, may not get your desired final grade because of the GP which isn't fair since the whole work on the GP isn't yours. Also his grading for the GP was a bit unjustified. Overall, he's good.

Professor Cheng is a great professor he always replies to emails very quickly. There are 5 open note quizzes+ 1 group project which is semester long.

the class is just 5 quiz and 1 group project. 4 of the quizzes were easy and 1 was hard imo. the group are chosen based on your alphabet last name. i was frustrated with my group b/c they did everything last min and i doubt we answer all prof cheng's feedback, but we still got a decent grade so im guessing he's not a harsh grader.

Took his class Spring 2011, MKT301. I graduated in Fall 2013. Exams are tricky. There were exam ???s where we (5 of us) made an argument and he gave us credit. In Fall 2011, long after I have completed his class, I was called 2 an honor violation that was not my fault. Prior 2 trial, I seek his advice and he guide me through it successfully.

The class and professor weren't bad at all. I think I just didnt like the fact that 45% of the grade was based on group projects. There are 4 quizzes you take along the semester and then a research credit that can be done through SONA.

His social media marketing class wasn't that bad. There are simulations, open-book quizzes, and group projects that make up most of your grade. His instructions for the group work can be confusing sometimes, but he tries his best to make it concise for his directions. Overall an easy and laid-back class.

This is actually for MKTG 315 but it isn't an option. This is my second semester with Prof Cheng and it was the same as last time. Everything open note, both quizzes and exams, group project easy if you make it look nice and add some detail.

Professor Cheng runs a straightforward class. Lots of quizzes and a big group project, but he's helpful and responsive. I found unstuck AI really useful for quiz prep. Definitely take it if you're up for the work.

Super easy professer, Talks a lot, But is still good. Two quizzes, a midterm, and final!

He's a great professor—very talkative, so it's perfect if you prefer listening over class discussions. There's a big semester-long group project, but he gives plenty of time and guidance. Just make sure you have a good group, and he's nice about letting you switch if needed.

Easy class, be sure you get a good group

Professor Cheng genuinely cares about his students and wants to make sure they both understand the material and do well in the class. I wish his lectures were a bit more dynamic, but his real-life examples are clear and helpful. He also takes the time to talk to students after class, which shows he's approachable and invested in their success.

He's a nice guy but his online lectures are kinda boring which makes it hard to pay attention. The entire semester your grade relies on the midterm, final, and group project. The exams weren't too bad, but if you get a bad group for the project, you're cooked. He's a tough grader but a kind person and gives feedback so you can do well in the class.
