Professor Schulz is a pretty good lecturer. You have weekly reading quizzes that are fairly easy and a few group projects as well as a few mc exams and a final. If you pay attention at all and do the reading you will do fine. Word of advice- don't fudge your survey numbers! 13 of the students did & paid the price. He takes his stuff serious.

While I said MGT 3500, I might as well call it Eric 101. The second week, we had a class where he announced we can all put our notebooks away, he was just going to talk about his career that day. And we literally listened to him talk about himself for an hour. That wouldn't be bad if it wasn't typical. I have never met a more self-important man.

Schulz is the most self-absorbed professor I have ever had. His entire class is based on a textbook he wrote himself. In it, he throws random terms that are from there on held to as gospel. By the end of the semester, you will have heard that he used to work for Coke at least 15 times. And if you're REALLY lucky, he might even shake your hand.

Schulz is insanely arrogant. He has alot of experience and there is stuff to be learned, but according to him there is only one right answer to everything in marketing. As a result, test questions are what is Schulz' opinion not what is fact. You'll also have to buy his textbook that has no sources cited and quizzes full of his opinion.

He's a great teacher who really makes you feel like you just got this amazing inside scoop and advantage that you didn't have before. He has great lectures and a lot of reading from the textbook. There are group projects, but he makes sure you don't get stuck with a ghost. A lot of work, but worth it even if you're not interested in the subject.

Eric was a pretty good professor. He is clearly very knowledgeable and experienced in the marketing field, and his lectures reflect that. His grading criteria was never very clear; I often got marked down on my work for things that were never mentioned in the descriptions or lectures. As long as you keep up and do the work, you'll be fine.

This class was so hard and Professor Schultz was not my favorite teacher at all. He has a huge ego and acts like his class is more important than anything else and is not lenient if you have a personal/family emergency and ask to turn in an assignment a day late. Directions were not clear and you had to basically read his mind during homework.

While it is fun listening to the stories some of it really does not feel relevent today. Lots of busy work and stuff you most likely will not end up using in the real world. Main way to get an A is to find the study guide on quizlet and study it for each exam. Also, have the Ta look over your project before submitting.

First, It's not his ego that's the problem, it's yours. If you think you're above this class he'll catch on. If you don't do well, it's your fault. Second, you work in groups & he makes sure everyone participates. His lectures are great and he provides examples of what you need to do. For a 3000 level class, I hardly put any time in & got an A!

I'm a senior and before this class, I had a 4.0 GPA. He thinks he's teaching attention to detail, but he just deducts points arbitrarily. Ex: I got a 55/70 on an assignment because I put a period after my first and middle initials, my only "mistake" on the whole thing. The material isn't challenging, but his grading makes getting a good grade hard.

Wasn't impressed by the way he grades, he gives no clear rubrics and marks off for random reasons. He makes you buy his own 80-dollar textbook instead of being able to get it off amazon for cheaper, just so you have to take the quizzes through his online book. His vague group projects are the worst because there's no real direction.

The group projects are NIGHTMARES. If you happen to get a good group then it's probably fine, but I got stuck in a group with people who liked to wait until a few hours before it was due before starting their parts-- and they always did a poor job that I would have to go back and fix. Other than that, the class was interesting and laid out well.
