Prof is clearly knowledgable on his subject matter, having years of work experience, he come across unorganized and vague. His lectures didn't follow a flow - and while they were usually quite interesting, it was too conversational.
cool guy, lots of experience, brutal when marking marketing plan but watches for those who do more work than others. Overall, fun class.
Organized, fun and practica. Best Prof!!!
great examples, entertaining, knows his stuff,
I've always said the best profs are the ones who teach once a week and work full time. This class was fun and informative and he is more than a prof, he is a friend
Fun teacher. Makes class enjoyable even though the course is boring with jokes and funny experiences.
This prof is a very good prof. Clear in talking. Easy to approach. Friendly. Funny. This was the only class I went for each and every lecture. Nice class.
A great prof. Very interesting and funny! I like going to his lectures and he gives good real life examples.
a very good prof I had him for three of my courses so far. He makes the course fun and interesting even if it is boring. Also provides with good examples that you actually remember for the exam.
Chuck's a great prof! Not too much text emphasis and more on real life experiences, which is the way it should be in a 4th year course. He is intelligent and at times can be unclear with his theories but overall an excellent prof! Probably one of the most easy going profs to date that I have had.
Stay away, 4 years of school and this clown gives the hardest exam i've ever seen.. 100 M/C questions plus 2 cases. If you take this class you will need to study from 5 books to get a decent grade on the exams... A joke, what a joke. Worst class at York
Really good teacher......go to every class and you'll do fine
Best Class at York and most useful! Prof is interesting and clear. Exams are very fair - if you study you will get an A. Class is actually fun - and you actually learn something.
Best Prof!!!!!!!!!!
the midterm was by far the hardest exam i have ever wrote at york to date... as for the project you better be prepared to blow his mind because he only wants the best and we;re talkin 50 or so pages minimum... the final was a bit easier because i know what to expect.. if u really want to take this course be sure to study HARD
He is not a good pro, his exam is hard and do not have any connection with his ppt.. students need to read the whole book and remember it soo bad
Charles is not very intelligent, talks a lot, tries very hard to be funny. Midterm is easy, Final is hard with lots of stupid questions. Course mark depends alot on the project, so make sure you choose good people to work together!!! If they are irresponsible and lazy, your mark will suffer!
Very clear, makes class fun, gets you to like marketing; will take him again if I can; people actually like this class
Easy to understand but hard to impress. Group projects can make or break your grade so choose the right people. His exams aren't easy but he takes your class and group participation into consideration. Don't take this course if you're looking for an easy A. You'll have to earn it!
Very cool guy, easy to talk to, easy to understand. BUT as mentioned before he is really hard to impress. His tests are more practical based, so you have to memorize the theory and be able to apply marketing concepts to slogans and advertisement samples that you would get on the exams. Extremely hard marker when it comes to marketing plans.
Have this prof. for summer. Seems like a nice guy, easy going, helps when you have difficulty.
He is absolutely HILARIOUS. 3 hours seem to fly by in his class. Great prof, great class. Only "bad" thing would be that he's a bit of a tough marker. I enjoyed the class, but, my mark, not so much.
Best Prof!! Interesting, Practical, Exams are OK,
This guy is hilarious...one of the best profs ever. Test 1 is easy, but watch out for test #2 (not so easy) Gives good practical examples in the world of retailing for a 4th yr course, easy to follow, fair marker as long as u follow his guidelines & give him EXACTLY what he asks for on assignments & tests. Would recommend taking any course with him
Funny prof, time flies by HOWEVER he likes to tell stories and doesn't teach much, not as near as the amount of info you need to know for your exams. He would teach 3 chapters in 2hrs, but when you studying, it takes about 2hr per chapter.It very difficult, especially the final. He'll tell you stories, you have to teach yourself the material.
Good professor talks alot but very entertaining and it's important to take him seriously when he says he is serious
Best proff ever! His lectures are entertaining and he likes to keep the class involved. Midterm was easy and final was even easier, all MC. Just follow the outline he provides for the project, read over his slides and pay attention in class.
This man is the bomb, he teaches based on real life scenario's. You will learn a lot in this class and will have to work to get a B+. His first test is relatively easy and the finals are brutal. He is fair in his project markings and is absolutely hilarious. Must take if you want a real prof.
Great proff that tells you exactly what he wants for the group project. Follow the guideline exactly and you'll get a good mark. Tests are easy as long as you listen to lectures, which aren't boring since he engages everyone. One of the best proffs at York.
Oh boy, when I read all these reviews...First of all, probably the toughest marker of all profs I had in my University life... He seems fun and everything but at the same times looks like he fakes it all to play cool in front of the class. Not sure, if that's a good class to take now.
You are just paying for the show (his classes are fun) and wait until u get ur marks back........
Probably one of my favourite profs at York. Such an intelligent man. He has an amazing capability to keep the class interested and engaged. Not an easy marker so you'll have to work. You can learn a lot from this man!
The course is useful and interesting. He used lots of examples and not boring at all. But the quizs are quit hard, the average wont be above 70
Goes on endless tangents. Late 10-30 minutes each class. Almost never gets through his powerpoints even though he skips 4 slides for every 1 he talks about. Answers a student's question for 5, 10, 20 minutes. Help review for exam? NOPE! Just study everything! great thnx...
The class itself is more of a show to get you interested and study in your free time. He uses class time to answer questions so he does not have to answer e-mails, then races through the slides. Most people in my group expressed they would not come to class if it was not for the 50% group project. Regularly late,but will call you out for being late
Took this class with him a year ago and had to re-take it with another professor. His exam is harder than some other professors because it was cumulative. However, on the bright side his final was all multiple choice. Overall, he comes off as a boaster but his classes are fun. Wasn't crystal clear on what we expects for our group projects.
The course is interesting. He gave examples and explained them in details. But the exams are hard and the marketing plan also received very low mark. The average of both of the mid and final is only around 60, and lots of questions from textbook which he never covers in class. BAD MARKING AND HARD QUESTIONS.
Chuck is an amazing teacher and is very charismatic. If you come to school to learn take his class, if not, avoid because its HARD.
Excellent prof! good lectures, good experiences, industry expertise, have taken all of his classes. Exams are fair - you can get good grades. He lets you know what to expect on exams - but at least he's fair and he asks fair questions. One of the few profs where I went to classes because I actually enjoyed the lectures.
Being honest and short, the best prof I've ever had! After his lectures I've switched my major to marketing and still keeping in touch with him. If you ever are going to take marketing class - this is the best guy to choose!
Hilarious prof, very very clear on what he expects in the exam, as well as what exactly is on the exam. he makes a lot of jokes during lectures but jokes are always related to course materials so it actually helps you understand the materials better. will definitely take his courses again, highly recommend.
Hes a really funny professor and his lectures are interesting, but if you want an A avoid him, he's seriously a hard marker, exams are hard and his marketing plan is HARD! You won't get above a C. He's rude and tells everyone to ask a question. If you think of a question after, he'll say its too late. Just read the book, going to class is pointless
GREAT PROFESSOR! Classes are always fun and great discussion. The man really knows his stuff and takes the lens from a real-world perspective. Very helpful when you come to him and talk to him about your presentations. The only downfall is that the exams are probably the hardest exams I have ever had to write at york. Study hard.
Very funny guy. Makes the effort engage his students and encourages them to participate. He uses humor in his examples.. really helps you remember dry textbook material. Warning: the group project will be the death of you. Make sure you have a competent group and start EARLY. He marks HARD. We busted our asses and got a C+ on the written part.
Very funny. Accurate in predicting grades and mean etc. Tough grader on the Group work. Study really well for the mid and the final. Be in his good books. BOOK. BOOK. BOOK. that is your bible for this course. Read it, Blend it and drink it.
Not his biggest fan but lectures were engaging and informative, even though the lecture slides themselves were basically regurgitating textbook information. Tests are more difficult than they should be, even though they are multiple choice, and the final was crazy difficult and confusing. I enjoyed the course materials, but not the exams.
He is a great guy, awfully nice if you participate. I just finished a summer class with him and the midterm was easy but the final was quite hard. There are group projects so look out for that and a class presentation of the group project. But I would love for him to be my professor again.
This is the best prof at York! The number one guy you want to take for your marketing classes!
mumbles for half the class, then tries to finish all the material in 1 hour. Biggest waste of my time.
Great Marketing Prof. Also great in Strategy, B2B Marketing and General Business Knowledge. Not easy, but VERY FAIR exams. Must see lectures.
the best lectures. the best prof. will take him for marketing and strategy. fun classes. very fair exams (but not easy). an expert in the marketing field.
Have taken him several times. Great. explains things well. very very very strong marketing knowledge. probably my favorite prof. Teaches a bunch of marketing courses.

Chuck is undoubtedly one of the most knowledgeable profs at York & while his lectures are engaging, informative & fun, it does not make up for the fact that Chuck is not fair. He says he makes things easy for students but nothing about the course is easy. He is the toughest marker I have ever had and even though its mostly group work, its not easy!
If you read the textbook prior to attending lecture it helps because his lectures tie into the text. Yes, he's a hard marker. For the marketing plan, be sure to constantly get his feedback in order to do well. He's a very useful resource! If you're interested in Marketing, he's the best prof for it.
Best prof at York! Easily the best lecturer. Helps students with their careers. Retail was the best class.

Prof is a really nice person, but that doesn't make the course easier. I went well on the tests because of test banks, since in class he mentions a lot of examples but not the definition of terms itself. The marketing plan is hard, make sure to get yourself in a good group.
AMAZING PROFESSOR! Dedicated to his students! Must study for exams
I took him 3 times. this is my 3rd time. the best prof. guaranteed. actually cares. tough marker. but knows his stuff. and you can actually understand him. lectures are actually worth going to. in fact one of the only profs where I actually go to his lectures. you can learn a lot.

he's an average prof, he doesn't give instruction for the marketing plan and you can only ask him in class. a hard marker when it comes to the marketing plan which is 40% of your grade. if you wanna learn, he's the best he's a very knowledgable man. but if you wanna have a good grade, dont take Charles.
Enjoyed the class
Amazing Professor, make sure to go to class. Lectures are important
He is a very good prof!! his lectures are very interesting; you can see that he knows his subject. very funny prof. really enjoyed the class. he made the material seem easy and fun. gives lots of examples
Definitely one of the more interesting instructors if you want to attend lectures and not be bored. I suggest taking his section of the course if you can.
This prof is great! During lectures, he tells the most important things and gives examples, so students can understand the material better. He is funny and interactive, but you gotta come to all lectures and follow rules, that he gives, to pass. He doesn't cover all terms and material during lectures, so if you want to pass, read the book!
The worst professor ever met in life. He never care students indifferent time zones and said it was easy to have class at 3am because they usually party at that time. Test make no sence at all, you wont have the time to read the question just guess! He also lie to his students about due date.
Charles is a very knowledgable and funny professor. He knows a lot in this field due to his work experiences. He usually gives several breaks which is easier to follow each point. Also, he provides many examples to help us to understand contents.
He is an extremely passionate and caring prof, amazing prof!
Great Prof. Actually cares. gives great examples. helps students in many ways.
Learned a lot. He pushes for class participation. Actually looked forward to his classes. He helps foreign students to get involved. Really positive.
Great professor who knows alot about the material and cares about his students. A teacher who actually put effort into making live zoom lectures during the pandemic. Buy the textbook and read the chapter summaries ato study for both exams which are multiple choice. He is a tough grader for the marketing plan so do extra work within your group.
This is the realest review your gonna see. I chose this prof based on his reviews on this site. Hes pretty chill, nice and safe if your chill with him, show up to class and participate a little bit here and there. 30% midterm, 50% group project, 20% final, make notes from the ppts and the txtbook. Easy A. Barely studied for midterm and final.
Professor Hendricks is by far the best professor I have ever had. I am a senior now and I studied in two universities and this man is just OG! he is caring, fun, and hilarious. Prof Hendricks grades on few things but he is a fair professor and I bet you everyone loves that man! JUST TAKE HIM
He has good lectures, but it's impossible getting a good grade in his class. Do yourself a favour and avoid at all costs. His assessments are unfair compared to other profs.
I've taken all the courses that he teaches and I find Prof. Hendriks to be the best prof I've ever taken. Literally such an amazing prof, fun, and knowledgable. He gives you industry advice and anything you might need help with regarding marketing. Would love to have more profs like him
Charles is a great professor! Extremely well-spoken and kind! I wish I had another class with him this year!
After 5 years of Uni....finally a great professor. The best. Follows the text - and then gives examples to explain concepts. Best way to learn. Not easy though...but very very fair. If your looking to have a great learning experience and have some fun and laughs, he's the best.
Very fair; great feedback!!! Best lecturer. If you do the work you'll get a good mark. He expects you to work though.
He is such a king!! the prof himself is amazing but the group project sucks because he picks the groups himself and you can be stuck with shitty people who don't do anything.
Excellent lecturer. Cares! But....he doesn't spoon-feed you. You must do the work. But you WILL learn.
Absolutely awesome! A marketing professor who can teach and understands marketing. Great.
he was a really great speaker and got the class really involved, although the tests are sort of difficult, he was very clear with projects and the outlines.
Definitely attend every class because he emphasizes important info that you'll normally find on tests. He is such a genuine person and has very captivating lectures. Easy A if you put in the time and briefly skim through textbook because not all content is covered in class.
In my opinion did not like his teaching style he would ramble and never get to the point. Never like his class very boring and very, very long for no reason and Will force you to participate
Professor Charles is an amazing professor, knowledgeable in marketing, who makes the course fun and engaging with real-world examples and humour. He is approachable, clear, and encourages student participation. This was one of the most enjoyable and helpful classes I've taken at Schulich, and I highly recommend it to anyone considering his course.
Unless you want to cram everything DO NOT take this professor. You will NOT have enough time to learn course material. every lecture is 2-4 powerpoints, he only shows the title page & 3 slides from each powerpoint before skipping to the next. each class he spends an hour on students asking questions. lectures and textbooks are irrelevant to exams.
Overall the professor is a funny guy and the lectures are very laid back however, he is not clear in his approach. Does not teach the content well, the canvas information is a mess. The jokes he makes although are funny, can be seen as racist and a bit derogatory. Grading - he needs to like you to get a higher grade. Hard to get an A.
Amazing professor who really cares about his students. Great lectures! Uses real world examples. Need to show up to class for the exam. Will definitely take one of his classes again
Best professor ever!! Best lectures. If you know NOTHING about marketing, it doesn't matter. he will make sure that you understand. his examples are awesome. he does not baby you. according to him, this is a university course - and he treats it that way. he actually cares!!! BEST prof!!!
I have taken Prof. Hendriks several times. Easily the best prof at York. Read the syllabus though as he won't do it for you. If you want to learn, take prof Charles. NOT boring like so many others.
The ONLY class that I WANTED to attend. His classes are full because students love his lectures. Best prof ever through uni.
The book is not worth buying. He has a lot of knowledge on the subject. He lays out the course guidelines on day 1 and remains consistent with them. The quizzes are too specific and definition-heavy. For a good grade stick to his rubrics and participate as much as possible. There's an equal chance you find him funny or offensive, but never boring.
