Worst Prof Possible

Terrible teacher,in two words: He Sucks! Quizzes every class period and they are designed to trick you not help you. Very deceiving teacher and he loves to wear a suit coat with tennis shoes. Bad teacher don't take unless you love boring classes, hard tests, and to learn nothing.

Horrible teacher. Quiz every day class and he does not give enough time for quiz. 15' for 10 long trick questions.Quiz takes 35% total grade. Suck. Not understandable teacher for students.

If for some reason you get stuck with this prof.... wait DONT LET YOURSELF GET STUCK WITH HIM. Super boring, daily quizzes, not helpful, basically the class sucked

Terrible professor. Quizzes everday before he even teaches the chapter. Class is structured the same every day. Not very helpful on project nor on the midterm/final. DON'T TAKE HIM!

Not recommended. Puts zero effort into class and rips everyones material unless it was his idea. Stopped reading the text book after the first two classes. Not clear in his comments.

Agree 100% to previous post. The only correct answer is his opinion. He's the most pompous prof I've ever had. Semester long project, final paper, and group presentation all due on last day of class!

I know more about David Alexander than I do about marketing. The only reasonable explanation of why this man is a professor would be that he doesn't have anyone to talk to. His appearance is a cross between a thumb and Patrick (from Spongebob Squarepants). The only thing entertaining about this class is the fact that he prances around like a queen.

Terrible, tonight is the final class and we still have yet to get one grade. DO NOT TAKE- for so many reasons.

Very very dissapointed in my investment in money and time with this class. I did learn a little from the textbook at least.

Did not see a single grade until after the end of the semester. Not sure what the prof was trying to accomplish. I regret taking this class.

He gave a page full of insts for every assignment but it was never clear what he expected. He was not happy with anything students wrote and he has a huge ego. He expected us to write a "Team Journal" every week in which we noted who did what in the team. Seriously in a graduate level class? I regret taking the class. Waste of time and money.Sucks!

THE GROUP PROJECT IS A HUGE PORTION OF YOUR GRADE. Choose your team carefully. Instructions for the project are extremely unclear even after you request help. Turn in project early asking for help.

This professor is unfortunately one of the worst I have had at St. Thomas. Classes are super boring. Tons of reading and quizzes almost every class. He is very unclear on what he wants for assignments, and there is a huge project at the end that no one does well on... He's pretty understanding for absences and such, but incredibly boring class.

Worst class i have taken in my four years here at UST. Speaks to students in ways to make them feel inferior, and does not accept any answers that do not agree with his own personal beliefs. Upon being asked a question during class he simply looked at a student shook his head and walked away. i now know why tenure is a thing.

I believe this man is too smart for his own good. He does not accept other students answers, having his own strict beliefs. We would ask him at the end of the class "so nothing is due before next class" and five minutes later he would contradict himself, telling us something is due. He does not listen to his students. Would avoid if possible.

David Alexander is truly the worst college professor I have ever had in my tenure at the University of St. Thomas. Not only is he a rude individual--he is just genuinely a bad teacher. I think the guy is really smart, but he lacks people skills and the character necessary to lead students. I truly do not wish his condescending demeanor on anyone.

Prof. Alexander knows a lot about marketing. However, he is easily one of the worst teachers/profs I've ever had. Assigns lengthly assignments with A TON of directions. Tries to make them "easy" for you but you if you don't do them like he would, he gives you a terrible grade. Tough grader, LONG lectures, tons of busy work. DO NOT TAKE.

I would avoid him at all costs. He is a very harsh grader; he isn't clear at explaining what he wants. There are a couple presentations. The homework assignments ask for a lot. Not entirely sure if he takes attendance, but collects a feedback sheet after class. It's clear he doesn't consider the feedback he gets. I'd suggest finding a better prof.

One of the worst teachers I've came across in my whole life, might be the worst professor at UST.

Do not even consider taking him, if you have the option, take any other professor. He is a very harsh grader, the majority of your grade is based on group projects and exams. For reference, the average for our first exam was 73%. The class average grade right now is a C+. If you take this professor, you likely won't get a good grade.

You'll never work harder for a B or C in your entire life. Several assignments and group projects that move very quick. Everything he says and the projects alone are absolutely irrelevant to marketing. He looks for anyway to doc points of your work and is a very harsh grader. Look a different direction for Marketing 300 and do not take his course.

Don't get me wrong Prof. Alexander seems like a smart guy, but is the worst professor I have had at UST. His assignments are terribly long and he grades them based off of how well you understand his 10 paragraph instructions. He expects a ton out of students who are just taking the class because it is required. Avoid him at all costs.

Terrible teacher I never meet someone with such a high Eco and Cocky I never meet a teacher that make his students feel inferior and literally stupid. If you can skip his class do it and waste your money and time

This class was just awful. His assignments were just a bunch of nonsensical abstract demands that were harshly graded. even after reading the assignment -you have no idea what he wants. He gets very annoyed very easily. class was heavily group worked centered. No text book nor any good reference materia. I would not recommend taking his class.

Tough grader. Can be rude and harsh. Assigns unusually long readings with unreal expectations that they are remembered clearly. Does not care about students learning speeds. The class is at HIS pace!!! He does not cultivate a learning environment either.

DO NOT TAKE!!! Very hard grader his way or the highway.

Do not take this professor. His homework assignments are very unclear and his grades very hard. If you get him as a professor transfer out of his class.

Do not under any circumstance! If you ignore my advice, you can look forward to non-stop group projects and presentations, lots of work outside of class, and a 2 credit class that feels like a 6 credit. He is a nice guy but he could not have given less clear instructions if he tried. Brutal final. Paragraphs of instructions that leave you confused.

This guy just...ugh. Only 7 assignments the whole semester and was strict on EVERYTHING. Final was in an essay format which not only doesn't make sense for a business course, but it is impossible to ace. This business class felt like a heavy English class. Avoid him at all costs. His lectures will put you to sleep guaranteed.

don't listen to the good reviews. The bad reviews are all true. Drop him if you don't have to take him.

For your own sakes do not take this Professor. He's horrible at communicating and often gives very vague instructions. The way he grades the assignments is more subjective than objective and he's a harsh grader. He is also a boring in lecture he is just very boring and not a good Professor don't take him.

I would strongly advise against enrolling in his class. There are lots of group projects with meetings outside of regular class hours. Moreover, the grading system is notably stringent and places a high value on specific criteria.

Loves to give several pages of super unclear instructions for what should be short, simple assignments. Will tank your grade if you miss the smallest detail. Shames students for taking notes on anything but paper-and-pencil. Actual material of the class was easy, but his teaching style made it a struggle. Do NOT recommend taking this professor!

If you're a marketing major, I would strongly advise against taking this professor. If not, I still advise against it. Many group projects, very few assignments graded, and very unclear instructions. Rambles during lectures and says the most preposterous claims about marketing. Treats the intro class like it's the most important thing in the world.

This guy is a self-obsessed human being who could care less about his students. If you take this class prepare for a 7 page essay final - in person, and an group presentation worth 50%. St. Thomas made a big mistake giving this guy a paycheck. Save your money and your time... take someone else.

Professor Alexander's homework and group project assignments are loaded with pages and pages of unclear instructions. The final is 7 pages with very vague instructions.

I am begging you - please do not take Professor Alexander's class. Homework assignments are incredibly unclear and super long. He will give you a bad grade for not understanding the assignment, but if you email for clarification on what you can improve, he doesn't tell you! Makes sus claims about marketing that aren't backed by fact.

He seems like a nice guy, but he is the worst professor I've had. He lacks social queues and makes a required two credit class very overwhelming. He is an extremely harsh grader and has pages of directions for simple tasks. Does not prepare you for the final (its difficult). Do NOT take Professor Alexander.

Easily the worst professor I've ever had, and probably the worst i ever will have. Super hard grader, docks points for random things. Also knows nothing about marketing and says things that just aren't true. Super hard final that he doesn't prepare you for (Average score on final is 70%). DO NOT TAKE HIM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.

Take anyone else. I thought he would be fine but he is the worst professor at this school. He makes you take all of your notes in a little 6-inch notebook, with no computers. His lectures are very dry, and doesn't want you copying down the slides, so he moves very fast. His final is 2.5 hours straight of writing.

Would have dropped this class solely because of this teacher, if I could have been able to. He gave way too much work at the end and will never give students 100% on any assignment.
