NEVER TAKE HIM IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GET A "D"
His tests are hard, but in the end you learn...Most importantly he's "fair"
Good professor but very very very boring needs to add excitement to class
he cant control his anger and is very arrogant
Take him. The class goes fast and easy... take good notes and you'll be fine.
Tests are hard and confusing.His grading is terrible.He is so boring
Has not been in the real world. Teaches the same lecture over. Avoid this clas
Boring. Didn't learn anything. Waste of money & time
Take him please
very confusing and hard - where did he get those questions from? some other planet? Most of the stuff was never in the lecture...
Take good notes, pay attention, study, tells you whats on the test, curves, an easy A! Nice guy!
BORING AND DIDN'T LEARN ANYTHING, HARD EXAMS. POOR GRADES.
Great professor. Make sure you take good notes and listen carefully. His tests aren't that bad if you study hard. I learned a lot and would take him again. Very helpful.
He rarely gave HW...all I had to do was take notes and come to class...very easy, he only gives a D if you show no effort
tests are hard but you'll do good bcuz somehow he makes it is fun to go to class and learn :) skip the movies
easy A my ass.. but pay attention, take notes, and study for the tests and u should be fine
No hw, lectures all the way, lenient but mad hard tests. Questions are situational examples. Take him, mad cool professor.
no hwk no nothing doesnt know you at all loses papers dunt go to class and still get a better grade than someone who tries
Good teacher. Pay attention. Take good notes. Know the terminology and understand the concepts. Quizzes (mc part) can be tricky sometimes. The essay part isn't that bad.
pulls grades from the air dunt expect to get a grade u deserve, its underrated according to him
Great professor, teaches very well. Is enthusiatic about marketing, and it shows.
He gives hard test, all the answer is vague. He teaches little, but his exams are hard. Avoid him if you want to get an A.
He is a good professor, knows a lot of material, but the exam is very hard
u know i wouldnt mind that the exams were hard if this guy actually taught in class. i wish someone warned me about this guy. class has no substance, but the test will hit you and make you think it was a 4 cr course.
He is a horrible teacher, speaks about the most irrelevant topics and expects u to know everything..avoid if possible
Easy A. I got an A without doing any homework. Just read the materials and you'll do fine on his tests.
Gets off topics at times. REad his notes and you'll be fine. Grades on a curve at the end of semester. Paper really easy to do, and really quick
fun class, but hard exams. easy paper tho
horrible professor and unfair.........
HORRIBLE Grad school teacher. Learned nothing. Past lectures always repeated itself. No P.P. slides. Always talked about Ad. Age and how to read it. 1 Midterm, 1 Final-Exams covered 10 Chapters of textbook which Prof never used. Fire him please.
WORST PROFESSOR! not fair and he is super hard
If you like teaching yourself everything, take him
hard exam, tough grader, poor time mgt, repeating topics, didn't learn anything from this course
worst professor i seen! not fair at all! the paper is hard and long!
THIS MAN IS SO ANNOYING! HE HUMORS HIMSELF AT HIS STUDENTS EXPENSE. HE GETS A KICK ASS LAUGH WHEN SOMEONE DOES NOT KNOW THE ANSWER TO A USUALLY SILLY QUESTION-THEN GIVES THE PERSON THE "AH DAH" LOOK.
he is a really mart guy, has an awesome and peculiar sense of humor...a lot of stupid people don't understand him, but this is their problem, he is cool. everything is based on his notes,. super easy paper, in exams class average is like 80-85
exams have mc, fill-ins, t/f and essays. Mostly clear questions but a few tricky ones in there also. Suck up to him and talk in class.
wierd sense of humor. Nice guy though. His tests are a bit tricky, but the paper is easy and there isnt any HW.
The best professor at Pace yet. Do your homework and you'll understand his lectures. Use powerpoints for your tests, it's right off of it.

BEWARE! Sandler tests are sooo hard, nothing to do with lecture! ISnt organized at all, look at his office on 4th floor!
ok class....but exams are so difficult and they has so little to do with note. Take him if you think u are the smart one -_-"
his notes are useless, you'll have to study yourself!hard tests
This professor is OK. Theres 2 tests, the final, library assignment, and participation make your grade. No homework or big project. His tests are not bad but they're a lil tricky. BUT He has NO organization lectures are seriously all over the place and things he hasnt taught appear on the test.
Not that much work, but tests are tricky and a lot of the stuff he never even mentioned in class.
Prof Sandler was my favorite (and only good class) at pace this semester. he is funny and easy to confront. If you take good notes, u do not need the book, EVERYTHING for tests IS MENTIONED IN CLASS. Marketing class is fun, you watch a lot of commercials. take him, very fair, good class.
I wasn't impressed. He's pretty absent minded and has this fixation with aranging the room a certain way. He's often late and wastes class time. He's extremely unclear about assignments.
You would think that this would be an easy class but think again. How is it possible to make a marketing class difficult? Take Sandler and you'll find out.
he is the worst professor at pace, he is so bad and he is an old ****, don't take him he is difficult and very unclear, he is also a very hard grader
Mr. Dennis used to have red hair and now he's bald! How can I learn when I'm sitting there foucing on his bald spot? He is too old to teach marketing, his examples are from Sweeden and we live here in NYC. I think he ought to teach travel 101 since he's always on the run. But he does care about us and maybe he's not so bad
Took very good notes, read the book inside and out for the midterm and final. When I took the tests, about 15% of the material I studied for was actually on the test. The rest of the material he never mentioned nor was it in the text. CLASS AVERAGE = 65 in an MBA class. If that doesn't tell you something, then I don't know what will.
I think the reason people do bad in this class is that they do not read the book. People are lazy and that's annoying that this prof. doesn't get credit for how he really is.
It could have been worse ...
this guy is a ****. My friend walked in the room & he literally stopped lecturing & was looking at her butt. The whole class was appauled. Plus many other stories... stay away
You have to read the textbook and his notes, otherwise, you won't get good grades.
just read the book and do the work and ull be fine. ladies take him, hes cute!
One of the worst teacher I ever had. Non of the test items comes out of the lecture notes nor the book. He randomly seems to select the questions out of nowhere. Avoid like a plague.
The professor jokes a lot in class, shows videos but doesn't cover much in class. When we saw both the midterm and the final we were shocked as we have never seen a lot of the material in class or in the textbook. When we tried speaking to the professor he said he covered it (not true!).
Learn the few things that are taught in class (the different models) and read the book!! Reading the book is crucial to getting an A in this class since not a lot gets covered in class.If you can't self teach then don't take him.
Try not to take this professorMAR622..didnt learn anything in his class..just watched videos...have to do your own reading...exams are 10-15 multiples choices and 4-5 essays (midterm and final) take home finals too. Term paper. Hypocrite!! doesnt curve DO NOT TAKE his class. Waste of money and time. Lazy! I hope he gets fired. we all deserve better
Nice and esay!
Oh God! he is the best! take him!!!!!!!!
Although I think this class is a waste of time, Sandler makes the class more bearable by allowing us to talk about our daily lives and troubles. It's like Peer Mediation, but with boring hand-outs.
He makes things easy for students, tell us what exactly in the exam and you learn basic things without studying too much.
Terrible professor, does not teach anything in class but his exams cover 500 pages of the textbook at a time. Shows outdated video and distributes ten year old handouts. Keeps you in class for three hours and teaches for about 30 minutes, blabs about nothing the rest of the time. AVOID AVOID!!
This course is made relatively easy by Prof. The content on the exams are discussed. However the Prof. is not very organized as sometimes he moves from one topic to the other fairly quickly. Take plenty notes in the class. The project is the most interesting part of the course. You learn a lot as a result of the project.
AVOID!! AVOID! AVOID!
Took this man last semester, got an "A" without any hard work. If you expect learn nothing just an A (Not marketing major) take him! You will Love him!!
He is not a good teacher. Just stay home and read the book yourself and show up for exams. You have to do the research project in this class, which he assumes you know how to do. As a non-marketing major student I found this class difficult and really useless.
He talks about life experiences in class but the exams are no reflection of the classes. Outdated materials, no notes and the final is loaded with hundreds of questions from the text. Avoid this class!
He's HORRIBLE!!! He contradicts the textbook which really messes you up on his tests that are even worse! The tests are not only hard but confusing and his answers contradict the textbook! His project is worth little but he makes you spend so much time on it.
Don't take this professor. He doesn't deserve to be a prof. His classes are totally waste of time, you won't learn anything but he requires a lot. One has to have special talents to make marketing such a boring class. Obviously, this prof. has those talents. AVOID! AVOID! AVOID! . Don't take marketing at all if you can't find another prof.
It was my biggest mistake last semester to choose this professor. I still regret. He doesn't teach anything but expects everybody to know everything. Exams are very tough and they are totally different from what book says. This prof. comes to class because he has to, he doesn't enjoy teaching. DON'T MAKE A MISTAKE, DON'T TAKE THIS PROF.
As a finance major with bus undergrad background, I expect to get my money's worth when paying hard earned $3,000 for a class, what a waste. Marketing=sales, this guys looks like he rolled out of bed, how can you respect a professor like that. Grading is fair, material is common sense, write down everything he says about rating models.
Take a lot of notes, Exams are based on the notes. Fair professor. Would take again.
Don't Take this professor. AVOID him. He won't teach anything plus messes up your GPA. He should not be teaching. I hate this dude
This is one of the worst prof's ever. Half of my group received an A while the other half received a B. And we all did relativly the same throughout the exams. **AVOID AT ALL COSTS!** The person below is def. right! He should be fired!
Not very clear about his grading or marking style.
he is really the one if you want to get screwed.he'll make sure your gpa gets screwed n dats because he doesnt teach anything..no powerpoint, no references from the book,nothing!and he wants you write each and everything in the exam. his office is a mess!he literally jumps like an insect in his room to move around.u spend a hell lot n learn nothing
This dude should not teach. I just hate this guy. Avoid his class at all cost. It is not worth your money and time. Dean or someone has to see the way he teaches. He would be fired right away.
He should be fired. I don't know why he is still teaching. DO NOT TAKE this guy. He is the worst professor i have ever seen at pace.
AVOID THIS MAN AT ALL COSTS. IF YOU LIKE OLD PERVERTS WHO ARE HARD ASSES ABOUT USELESS MANDATORY CLASSES THEN TAKE HIM IF NOT RUN AND HIDE HE IS A DICK
Great professor who loves to laugh and kid around. Don't expect to learn much, it's marketing! You must take notes, and use the book to do well on his exam. Also if you want a good grade, you need an amazing group presentation.
He don't like international students as well.Avoid!
DO NOT take any of his classes if your GPA is of importance to you. He plays favorites and grades unfairly. His tests are difficult and he is of no help at all. He is one of Pace's worst professors and that is saying a lot.
Okay, his test are impossible to prepare for. So if you are taking him or plan to take him: take LOTS of notes, review the textbook, pay attention, and try to be one of his favorites. I got an A, but that was with the huge curve he had to give at the end of the semester.
the professor shares his experience a lot. but his tests are pretty much tricky )though the course material is easy.
For go your self esteem before going to this class. He will never admit that he was wrong ever. Often late. Doesn't remember what he taught and side track more than half the time. Never taught like the book and quiz you on it. The Best lecture with him was when he told us he wont be here and to attend another marketing class for the day.
Very good professor who encourages class discussion and does not bombard you with assignments. You get two exams, a final group project, and some mini assignments in between. Exams are easy but do have short essays. He's a bit old school when it comes to marketing but it's NBD. Don't bother with textbook. Take him and B+ or higher should be easy.
Ok , the review is not positive ... Didn't like the class nor the prof to much. Mostly because the confusing tricky exams and very unclear grading criteria ... Going to mess with your gpa even if you going to fill you did very well on the exams . came back as an unpleasant surprise. I would not recommend him or this class , not worth the trouble .
On some of the module's the instructions were kind of confusing and sometimes some of the questions would be really similar to another one which made it really repetitive and even more confusing, especially because it combined with other information. Besides that some websites were helpful, which made the assignment easier to complete.
he was really helpful thank you
For my first marketing class at Pace I feel like I learned a lot from this professor. He applied real-life examples to the topics and always allowed students to hold discussion. His tests are hard but if you study exactly what he tells you to, you will do fine.
low marks
He was a very unorganzed professor. Every week he would come into class either at the last possible minute or 10 min. late. When it came to his lectures, he'd get distracted by anything & everythign & go on tangents. When he asked the class for feedback from the class on his teaching & exam he argued every comment a student gave him. Did not learn
So this Professor is atrocious he has mediocre teaching skills, death by verbal speech. He reviews by telling you what to study and not giving any extra credit, hw or makeup. We have had reviews for the tests in class and it is definitely not what is on the tests.
He was really great to have as my UNV, didnt give like any work and he really cares for his students
You will not be prepared for anything on the tests. Your lectures will be super long, you will take tons of notes, and only some of that will actually be on the test.
The way he grades things makes no sense, he needs to be more specific with what he wants. The class average for our first exam was 67 and the highest grade was an 85 but he still didn't curve the grade. His lectures take the entirety of the class period and he goes on a lot of unnecessary tangents. It is so difficult to stay focused in that class.
He is a terrible professor. He doesn't present using a PowerPoint, he freestyles his lectures. He doesn't give you any useful material. He fears that if he provides us with any material he is giving us answers to the exam. To me, it seems like he is very unmotivated about being a professor. He is more focused on pleasing the class with jokes.
literally doesn't care about his job will teach you nothing and give you a test you will fail
He didn't care about his students at all. He didn't teach half of the stuff and expected us to read everything and understand ourselves. He was not good
One of the worst professor i have encountered when it comes to grading or preparing exams. Don't take his classes.
Don't take his class ever that's all
Professor Sandler is very knowledgeable. But he is NOT an effective teacher. He is very unorganized, forgetful, and repetitive. He just talks and talks and talks and expects us to remember everything. He is also NOT very nice. I'm sure he has great experience in the marketing world. But in terms of being an excellent professor, he is FAR from one.
He is a very irresponsible professor. Lectures the entire time and rare chance that he will give you vital information that will be on the exam. Very stubborn and not helpful if you are not doing well on exams. Gives you a study guide but purposefully doesn't put everything on it so you are set up to fail. Worst. prof. ever.
Professor Sandler is great in the sense that he has engaging lecture to get the class involved. He goes over the material several times which ensures a proper understanding. If you are willing to give him a chance and pay attention, he will ensure that you learn the material. Take proper notes of the lecture, you will succeed.
One has to be really clear with the concepts or possibly you'll lose marks too quick. This subject affected my overall GPA as it dropped down to 0.10. Would recommend only if you are ready to attempt the paper the way he wants you to or be ready for the drop in your GPA
He does not teach. He comes to class with no prepared notes. His grading is inconsistent. Also very unethical, accepting gifts from students during exams before grading. His grading is highly discretionary and open to bias. He is stubborn when u approach him. Age has caught up with him. Younger professors at Pace are better teachers.
I really enjoyed Professor Sandlers class. I learnt a lot from him and feel like I will really use all of the knowledge I gained from his class. The class can be tough but if you put in the work and listen, you will do well.
Honestly, one of the worst professor's by far. He is not a good lecturer, does not make the material interesting. He does not respond to emails fast enough. Just a waste of time. Don't take him.
This was the worst class I've ever taken. SO RUDE, Comes to class unprepared with no notes and uses the 3hour class to pick on students/talk about nonsense. Study guides are nothing like exams; it would be better not to have a study guide at all rather than studying irrelevant work. Not to be ageist, but he CANT hear and yells HUH about 1000 times.
Worst professor ever. I haven't gotten my final grade yet but I am sadly expecting to see it bring my GPA down. He does not prepare you enough for exams and purposefully makes his study guide unhelpful so it ends up being of no use. He definitely does not care to see his students do well. I dreaded going to this class every week. Good luck.
Just don't take his class. I'm so serious, don't do it. You will spend the entire 3 hour period of the class stuck in a lecture but there aren't any slides it's just him talking and occasionally writing on the whiteboard. He doesn't take constructive feedback from students, and tests are worth a lot.
Not very clear, makes the study guide without giving any key terms. The information on the study guide does not help study for the exams.
save yourself and save your grades, DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. I have been to 2 different schools and have 75 credits and never have i had a professor this terrible. He was degrading and demeaning if the class was confused or questioned the answers to a question. He made rude comments to the whole class. does not teach anything at all!!
Yeah, if you wanna save yourself the energy and the tears from the stress u get in this course do not sign up for his class. He has got to be the most stubborn and unreliable professors in the world. After the class did bad on the mid term bc of his bad study guide he refused curving or adding other assignments to help boost grade.
Please do not, I am begging you to not take this professor. Aside from his horrible teaching, his study guides are useless and do not even reflect on his lecture! Save your GPA for not taking this professor because he will for sure wreck it
Sandler has some good lectures (he does get carried away), but his grading is very unclear; it seems to be up in the air. TESTS ARE HARD! He does not base lectures on presentations, you have to audibly take notes unless you want to buy the textbook (not necessary). Final project and research paper are hard work, in pairs, but project is chosen by u
Avoid taking this class - Professor Sandler's lectures are dull and unhelpful, and the study guides don't prepare you for the exams. Try using tools like Unstuck AI to supplement the lack of support. Overall, a frustrating experience.
wrst professor I have ever had at pace, do not take him do not take him he will ruin your gpa and laugh while doing it. Im actually so upset he is still a professor here, he is so old he literally can not even hear the students in the class, im serious he will walk up next to every person to hear them talk. do wat you will this info, believe us pls
This professor was by far the worst marketing professor ever; he is insanely disrespectful. He veers off-topic almost ever class. He says inappropriate things to the students. 25% for the 2 exams throughout the semester and 25% for the final. SAVE YOUR GRADE DO NOT TAKE HIM! SAVE YOURSELF!! Pace, please fire this man.
Extremely difficult professor, goes off topic in class and doesn't understand most of the students.
