Makes class interesting, he's a funny guy. DO NOT COME LATE TO THIS CLASS!!! He hates it when people are late and doesn't hesitate to point you out. Tests are somewhat easy, pretty much stratight from lecture and book.

Dr. Strutton is an awesome professor and a good guy to know outside of class. He's well connected, worldly, and doesn't put up with any B.S. I agree, DON'T BE LATE. You're better off just going home.

Greatest teacher of all time!

Great professor. I took him for the maymester and he was actually entertaining enough to listen to for three hours, four days a week. Skim the text, review the notes, and pay attention and you'll do fine. Sets grading scale a little lower, so its an easy A (88.5 and up) or B (78.5 and up)

Overall nice guy, but a little funny sometimes. It's hard to read him. He likes people with opinions, so speak up. The class was a little difficult to me, but I probably should have read the book a lot more.

Easy Class! He gives extra credit points throughout semester. Tests are off his notes. Entertaining and a fun class to be in.

His class is somewhat interesting he keeps you involved with discussion and free points given by taking easy quizes. Tests can be difficult if you dont attend class some questions come directly from his lecture and are not found anywhere else.

Dr. Strutton has been my favorite teacher so far. Tests are half book and half lecture, but they compliment each other. He doesn't use powerpoint, but it's really easy to focus because you're listening to him rather than copying the screen. He gives extra credit in the form of easy quizzes that come from lectures. uses very clear examples. 88 is A.

Dr. Strutton is a very intelligent, endearing professor. One of the best I have had at UNT, without a question. He incorporates stories about his family and life, all of which give so much depth to his lectures. He teaches students as much about life as about marketing. A true mensch!

I agree with previous comments about Dr. Strutton being one of the best if not THE best professor I have had EVER. I took this class during a Maymester and as hard as it was to sit for 4 hours a day for 11 days straight, he made it highly interesting. His tests are not easy but if you pay attention and read then you should be good! I def recommend!

Dr. Strutton is a good professor. He makes you want to go to class, and well you have to bc most of the tests come straight from his lectures. He is really easy to pay attention to, trust me I had him for 3 hours! He has good stories and you loves when people are involved!!! I highly suggest taking a class with this professor!!!! One of the best!!!

My favorite professor I've had by far. He's hilarious and makes the content easy to follow. Gives extra credit for going to class--attendance isn't mandatory--but I actually ENJOYED going...and it was a 3 hr class. He puts all his notes online and the rest is in the book. Easy class, great professor, HIGHLY recommend it.

SERIOUSLY HE IS AWESOME! If I could sit there M-Th 8-12 and enjoy it, I think that tells you something. Some advice go to class ON TIME! Basically everything I had to say has been said.

I took this during a may mester & he was very easy to listen to for 4 hours. Make sure you are on time.He didn't really give us an idea about what was on the test, sometimes during lecture he would mention something that might be, which made it hard to study for a maymester. Good teacher, go to class everyday for bonus pts, and NEVER be late!

I thought he was a little arrogant for a professor. I tend to like practioners over academics. However, as the semester wore I on I became endeared to a guy who does love what he does and tries to build good relationships with his students. I was not offended by any religous comments. I think they are worth while and needed.

If you're late then you can't enter until a later time in class(like 1 hr). I took it during summer (w/ 2 x 4hr classes per week). He didn't review what will be on the tests so you have to go thoroughly through the book and his notes. He does use Biblical references; however he is just using these to describe people's characteristics.

Excellent communicator! Passionate about mktg and stories about his wife were relevant to topics discussed. Bible references were brief and not sure how they offended anyone. Attnd class for extra pts. Study classroom notes diligently for exam. But pls don't ask him anything that is already on the syllabus he freaks out about that and don't be late

I'm sorry, but if you don't get an A in his class, you were definitely doing something wrong. Gives TONS of extra credit points and nothing on the tests could be considered a surprise in my opinion. They are difficult though, so make sure you put in a few hours of studying for them. Anyone who complains about religious comments gets offended easy.

He was a good professor. He makes you apply yourself but gives u the notes to study for you pass the exam as long as you read through the material he's given you will be fine and may actually learn something. If you want to be lazy don't take his class...Although u could probably get by on extra credit.

Personally I thought his lectures were engagng, not a class to slack off in and DONT come late to class. Attendence is not mandatory but I would recommend to go for some extra points. Book is really not needed, take notes and make sure to read his printed outline notes for each chapter. He is fair and the grade you get will be what you put into it.

Good teacher. Great guy. I would definitely say come to class ON TIME. I would have gotten a higher grade had I known how to be on time. He puts the most important info in the first 10 min of lecture. Tests are really specific to lecture and you have to read the book. It's a boring class but he tries to make it interesting

Took during may-mester. Overall good class. I would recommend him. Gives tons of extra credit and good advice. Still waiting on grades to post, though.

Come to class, listen, and follow directions. You will be fine. He's a great example of what a future boss will be like; He expects you to be on time, give your best effort, and to read. You get the grade you deserve based on the amount of work you put into it....that's life. He's a very good professor and you will learn about marketing and life.

he is a good professor. come to class, listen, read the text, study the notes, you will make an A. he gives easy opportunities for extra credit on the tests and there's no homework, besides reading obviously. take this class, you might learn something

Great Professor, he knows his stuff, really really smart in a real world way. Read the book take good notes, go to class and listen, you will get a good grade. Lots of material in this class. If the class as a whole starts to fall behind on grades he will give lots of opportunity for extra credit surveys, attendance ect.

He is awesome. He makes the lectures really interesting and doesn't give stupid little assignments. He gives a ton of extra credit points. The only grades are tests that he says are hard, but if you pay attention in class they're pretty easy.

Great professor! He is very funny and makes sure that the lecture is not dry. If you want an A in the class you must read the book and online material but you can do well without it. He posts notes online so you can do fine without going to class but he gives a lot of extra credit for just showing up to class. If you need this class, take Strutton

I don't know what people are talking about Dr. Strutton was a great professor. Yes he is intense and may take being late or using your phone more seriously than the average professor but so what? Only 3 exams based about 90% on his notes and in class lectures so you really need to show up. He gives extra credit for attendance so why not go. Energy

Strutton is a great professor who wants people to learn a lot and get involved in lectures. The only assignments are the tests themselves. GO TO THE LECTURES. They're dry and he doesn't use PPT or anything like that, but it's so worth it. Barely 10% of the questions asked on the tests are from the book. Tests are hard if you don't use the notes.

He's a bit arrogant, but he's not a bad teacher. Go to every lecture or you won't do well. Gives 3 tests and that is it, but he gives extra credit points for going to class. They help a lot. Read the book thoroughly before the tests.

Attend class everyday, participated for extra credit, give extra credit for attendance, be on time stayed until the lecture end because he might give extra credit, listen to his lecture and take note, hard class but passable, three exams only no homework

Strutton is hands down the best lecturer I have had. He comes prepared with a planned and well thought out lecture that keeps you engaged as opposed to feeling your time is being wasted. You must attend lecture to pass and as a bonus he gives extra credit for those who stay til the end of the lecture. Great lecture, difficult class, worthwhile.

Professor Strutton was the BEST instructor I have ever taken. He is very passionate about his work, cares about students. He ensures that you get the lecture & is very funny! Gives extra credit, curves ALL exams, 3 tests & that's it. Read your book, take notes. I took him for Maymester...

Going into this course I was scared b/c of other reviews. He is very opinionated but shares his in a light-hearted/funny way. He wrote the textbook so it is VERY important to read it AND attend lectures. 3 exams total, no other assignments. GO TO CLASS!! He gives extra credit all the time. He made marketing basics interesting. (I was a maymester).

This class was actually really interesting. He lectures for the full 50 minutes every class but its actual information that is helpful, no time fillers. He doesn't use a powerpoint which is different but it made me focus on the lecture more than just copying slides. Show up to class everyday he will randomly give like 3,4, or 5 extra credit points.

If you get offended easily do not take his class. He says things as they are and says what everyone else is thinking. Personally, I like that and i find him funny and his lectures are really entertaining. There are some useless assignments on Pearson that you have to pay for and they relate nothing to the exams which are 3 and a final.

I like Strutton a lot, but if you are sensitive and can't handle someone who is harsh and doesn't take crap off lazy students you won't like him. Show up, listen to his rants (they're usually insightful and have a much larger meaning that's applicable to life as a whole) and you'll do just fine

This man is a wonderful lecturer. The material itself is pretty straight forward, but I assure you, this is a class worth attending. This man is not only brilliant, he truly enjoys what he does. TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. You will not regret it one bit. Bravo to you, Prof. Strutton.

Solid professor- This class is dry, but it is what it is. I wouldn't mind taking him again. I go to class just for attendance & concept checks which are like 75% of the exams. I don't take notes, but look at the PPTs the night before exams and I've made all A's. I'm not a genius, so idk why people complain. So much EC it's stupid for you to fail...

He has a lot of knowledge, he is straightforward and he is an Republican. I think tests are difficult for me because I'm an international student. However, it doesn't matter. He has a passion to teach students. Suck it up. It was a worth class at UNT

His class was my favorite one of the semester even though I got a C in the class! Your grades are only 4 test grades including the final. He has an outline for each chapter he goes over and gets his information straight from the book. You have to make sure you pay attention to detail to everything he says/what they book says to do well on tests!

Not too bad. You need to read the book and do the study questions on GRTEP if you want an A. Tests come directly from those. Lectures aren't great, but go to class for extra credit and clarification! The online homework can be tricky so do it carefully. I put moderate effort into the class and made an A, so take him if you're willing to read!

No powerpoints sits in front of the class and lectures, however, he does have notes for each chapter which are really helpful. If you print the notes and elaborate on them while he talks you will do well. You have to read the book because there are something's that are not in the notes but on the test. Attend class you get EC. Straightforward.

Don't rely on extra credit. He isn't as bad as everyone is saying. If you get your feelings hurt easily don't take him. Lots of online homework, but it's on quizlet. Go to class and listen, take notes. I read the book, took notes, and recorded the lecture. An 88.5 A. There's no reason to not make at least a B. Curves exams heavily.

This professor is not as bad as everyone lets on. Yes, you do have to purchase his textbook to do his homework and practice exams. but you need the textbook for the tests. The tests are half lecture, and half textbook (except the final which is all lecture). Attendance is mostly mandatory as he uses Tophat as an attendance grade (most days).

I took him during a summer 5 week course. I definitely had to read the material and pay attention to the lectures to do well in the class. He gives pop quizzes that pertain to information he hasn't discussed yet, so you do have to read ahead of time do really do well. The wording on his exams could be very confusing. He was funny from time to time.

I found his lectures to be interesting and entertaining. Each chapter covered has 2-3 homework assignments and a practice exam. The homework is super easy. Practice exams are very lengthy but most answers are on quizlet. His exams are straight from the lectures and practice exams. He offers a ton of extra credit through surveys. GO TO CLASS.

I took him for the 3 week summer session. He really cares that the students are learning the material and gives multiple chances for questions. He wrote the textbook so it is really helpful for the tests.

Online attendance good chunk of your grade... dont skip. Exams are heavily lecture base (70-80% lecture base) so youre going to want to show up. There is an extra credit opportunity thatll award you 7.5pts to your FINAL grade. Hes rough on the edges at first but he really is an awesome professor.

Professor Strutton knows what he's talking about, but most of the lectures just restate what is in the books he assigns which you have to purchase to get access to the practice tests. There are a lot of online assignments but they're not difficult to knock out.

He gives +5 points to final grade for extra credit assignment. Homework and practice tests were a lot. But easy. I never used my book, but read the book notes! Make sure to pay attention to what he says. Most of his tests are based off of his lectures. Show up, take notes and youll get an A. Sometimes he gives test answers. Attendance is crucial.

Dr. Strutton's Foundations of Marketing class was my first class at UNT. He is a great lecturer and his class is what convinced me to become a marketing major. His exams stem from the online "practice" quizzes (which are all required-I made the mistake of thinking they were not a grade). There was a lot of material but it was presented in a fun way

His lectures are pretty much straight from the book, and sometimes he gets stuck talking about one particular topic for a long time. Overall easy class though and he does have some valuable lectures on certain chapters. Easy A and i promise it wasn't hard to get.

Great class And easy to pass besides you have to buy expensive books

He's not as bad as everyone in the reviews. Anytime I had an issue, he was really kind and helped me out asap. The homeworks are annoying, but all the answers are on quizlet, and you only really need to read the skinny, not the other book (you still need both access codes though). He also heavily curves tests and final grades.

He is not bad like everyone portrays him to be, those people are prob just lazy. If you can take him 3 times a week do, it'll be easier than the 3hr course weekly. Just read the book and you'll pass the class with an A. The book is easy to read and its interesting content. If you try hard enough you'll pass, he's not the worst, he's cool.

Easy A. Non Proctored Exams and Quizzes. He is nice and reminds you of upcoming assignments that are due. I recommend taking his Maymester class, as it is probably easier than the full 16 week semester.

If you took marketing as your major like me, he is a great professor to have as your base knowledge of marketing. I am not going to lie, but his exams are heavy, require a lot of understanding, and the lectures have a lot of depth in each chapter. If you are taking an elective for an easy A, he is not the way to go.

I don't understand all the negative ratings. He says some strange things at times but that helped me continue to pay attention. I enjoyed him. He gave big curves but 80% of your grade are tests.

Prof. Strutton is a funny and charming guy, you can tell he is passionate about his job, and life, which is inspiring to see from a professor. The assignments for the textbook are a bit long, but they are pretty simple. The class is straightforward, and the guy has some great jokes. He does tell personal stories, but they lighten the air, no harm.

I really don't see why people have a negative view. In my opinion the people who have a negative view are just people who can't take simple lecture notes or are just lazy. homework is 50 questions per module but you have an entire 1-2 months to complete it, he's is cool and curves the test heavily, can easily get an A from just paying attention.

Dr. Strutton is a preacher in his spare time, so expect his lectures to resemble a sermon. His class is very easy if you just show up to class, read the book, and turn the homework into quizlets to study for the exams. Bonus if you participate often and introduce yourself to him; he'll be in your pocket all semester long if you do this.

“The professor is really nice and caring. The tests are heavily based on the textbook he requires, and he gives a ton of extra credit. He also curves the exam. The quizzes are not really hard and you have a lot of time to do it. Just take him !

Professor Strutton is a great professor!. The class is very manageable as long as you read the textbook and pay attention during lectures. He explains the material clearly and does a great job of reinforcing key concepts. His lectures are interesting and often funny, which makes the class more engaging and easier to follow.
