The majority of your grade depends on the professor’s opinion of you and your classmates’ opinions of you. He asks for classmates' opinions far too often and uses that to grade presentations and group projects. He seems to completely ignore that classmates obviously act in their own self interest. GOOD LUCK!!

Lefevre shows enthusiasm for the content. Beware of cold- calling - use it as an opportunity to show you do the case studies and pay attention. Grading on assignments can be tough - be careful of grammar and show critical thinking abilities. Read the textbook, study the learnsmarts (!!!) and you'll get As on the exams.

Anyone who complains about the class being difficult didn't read the book. Although it doesn't seem essential during the semester, it'll help on the tests.

He relies heavily on group grades & the reviews of other classmates. Almost nothing we learn in class is needed for the tests, which are just regurgitation of book info.

Professor Levefre is very funny and knowledgeable of various industries. Nevertheless, this class is by no means easy - it has 2 short case write-ups, 2 long case analysis, 1 big group project, and 2 exams. Be prepare to read & write a lot to ace. All the efforts are worth it - I have learned so much about business strategy thanks to Professor!

This is my second class with him.This course is challenging and requires hard work. Discussion and simulation are effective and engaging, yet quite demanding. In order to succeed in this class, you need to stay on top of assignments. His grading criteria is clear, so paying close attention to his instructions and rubric is crucial for a high grade.

This is the best course I have taken in my academic journey so far, so I truly recommend Professor Lefevre. I took a version of the class with an experiential learning component that gave me a taste of what working in Marketing is like in the real world. If you are passionate about Marketing and truly want to learn, this class is for you.

Professor Lefevre makes the class engaging with discussions and activities. Though textbook-heavy, his enthusiasm makes lectures enjoyable. Doing well on group projects and studying with Unstuck AI is key to succeeding.

Really fun activities during class, but doesn't really do much to prepare for the quizzes. You have to read a lot of the textbook to actually do well on the quizzes. The course is graded very heavily on the group debate and the group final presentation, so your designated group really matters.

Professor Lefevre is a great teacher. He is very personable with students and wants everyone to do well. Group assignments matter a lot as each project is based on these groups. Graded by two quizzes, a debate, a presentation, and participation. Quizzes are pretty fair, but you are definitely expected to read outside of class in order to do well.

This class was very interactive, with engaging lectures. The main projects were a country debate and a market entry project, graded as a group (provide feedback if group members don't contribute fairly or if they exceed expectations), Professor Lefevre takes it into account. Study the textbook, and you'll do well!

Made the class engaging. This was his key strength. Most of learning is done outside of class by reading the textbook as his lectures are very general and mostly consists of reading off of the slides. Willing to curve depending on class averages. Group project contribution form responses are not reflective of the grades we receive.

Professor Lefevre is very hands on. If you're looking to skate through a class with minimal interaction, look for a different instructor. Professor Lefevre has incredible knowledge and experience which is shared though content and comments throughout discussion boards and rubrics for assignments. I can confidently say I learned a lot!

Professor Lefevre's Business Strategy course is challenging but rewarding. The simulation exercise was intense and team-driven, pushing you to apply what you learn throughout the semester. Be ready to invest time, but the real-world value makes it worth it. Highly recommend if you're serious about the subject.

Professor Lefevre sticks to the syllabus, the assignments are perfectly connected with canvas. The rubrics are clear for grading criteria. Discussions are also very clear in terms of what is expected. Lastly, group projects are very well planned. The organization makes it easy to learn. They are also very responsive to emails.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. it boring and i learnt nothing of value. everything is dependent on a group mark in which he doesn't mark each member separately, you will get the same grade as your laziest group member. Groups are given at the beginning of the semester and don't change. very hard marker and very unreasonable.

Duane is a great professor who cares about his students. Classes are very discussion-based. There are a couple long case-study analysis papers and a term group project that is very intensive, but that should be expected for a capstone course.

Makes presentations engaging. Not my fav prof, he can be a little passive aggressive. Other than that answers emails fast. Participation matters a lot; there are no excuses for missing class. Group projects are important, you will get assigned a random group in the beginning of the class. If you get stuck with a bad group, just pray. harsh grader

Wonderful class changed my career trajectory. Class is engaging while not being overly taxing, and is such a good representation of why I love NU's global focus. Make sure to start projects early too. My best piece of advice is to get to know the people in your group even if you've never met, this will make you look forward to going to class!

Information through presentations gone over in class have little to no resemblance on the two exams taken (makes up 40% of your grade). Makes class engaging by bringing in guest speakers, but you need to read the textbook to do good on the exams. 2 group projects where you cannot choose your group. Attendance and participation is 15% of your grade.

The professor made class really enjoyable, and the work was pretty straightforward. If you set aside 2 hours or whatever you need for those big tests, you'll be fine. Also was not really a harsh grader and I think his grades were pretty fair.
