Be prepared to read everything, study as much as possible and still get poor grades. Each question has about 3 or 4 right answers that can be argued, but his personal opinion is the correct answer. If you HAVE to take him, do not expect an A. You will have to TRY for a B.

Nice and super smart guy but his exams are close to impossible! Even logic and reasoning cannot get you past some of the questions. I have a marketing background and am familiar with definitions and concepts but even that wasnt enough in this class. However he was fair and would curve most of the exams with 4 points and also curved the final exam.

Not sure what the other comments are referring to. I'm no marketing wiz, but found the class easy and straightforward. You want to pass? It's simple. Read the chapters he assigns, watch the lectures (2 per week about 30 minutes each) and then watch the lectures a second time before the test. That simple. I spent maybe 10 hrs per week and got an A.

He is a very poor instructor and routinely falls on the excuse that things are subjective and he is the subject matter expert. He refers to this line when giving test feedback on questions that he freely admits are opinion-based. To get it right, you have to guess his opinion (his words, not mine). He won't use Rubrics for objectivity either.

If you have misophonia, avoid this man's lectures. If you like good grades for your hard work, avoid this man's class. If you actually want to learn marketing, pick a different professor. The tags only have positive tags so just imagine the opposite of whats tagged.

This was my 1st class in the MBA program after being out of school for 30 years. This class gave me serious doubts about continuing. The quizzes are tricky and pure torture. My advice? Do all the reading, watch the lectures and put some effort into the papers. I rated him just 'ok' because the quizzes are ridiculous. Would I take him again? Um, no.

I don't think that his TAs could even pass his exams as they are poorly worded and are all based on his opinion not necessarily what's found in the textbook or are commonplace business practices. Skip this "professor".

Dr. Khan is tough, but the workload and expectations are reasonable for a graduate-level course. Weekly quizzes, 3 short papers, last quiz is not cumulative. If you're looking to be spoon-fed the material, this isn't the class for you. If you're willing to think through the content, you will learn & take from it what you put in. Would take again.

Weekly quizzes are tough if you aren't sure how to study for them but were only worth 5% each.The 3 papers are worth more. The quizzes are based off real world applications of a term. He curves many of the quizzes. For each of the 3 papers be sure you understand what he is looking for.

Really enjoyed Dr. Khan's class and teaching style. Used stats of class performance to determine which exam questions to drop and curved papers. Held weekly Zoom sessions to review previous exam and reviewed top 3 lowest scoring for discussion. He really cared about students and their comprehension of subject. Put in work- easy A.

This professor and his TA's tend to grade your work based on personal preference. You can put little effort into one paper an get a A or B and then spend two weeks on another and get a D, with more research/analysis. You basically have to be psychic in order to get a decent grade in this class.

The Quiz are conceptual and need a lot of reading the contents, the lecture or the videos are not enough to get through the quizzes. The assignment are very length and expectation is to make them a perfect document which is difficult to achieve with the part time modules. if this was a full time course it would be easy .

The test questions were all subjective trick questions and although the lectures and reading materials were interesting they didnt help. I even work in the same industry and it was like the twilightzone. Beware of this course with this professor...the bad reviews are accurate.

Dr. Khan provided opportunities to engage through office hours & lecture. These sessions were long (office hours were recorded) & didn't always add info to help survive the quizzes. The quizzes were frequently worded in ways that made it difficult to pick the correct answer. Papers were long but every other week & not hard if you follow directions.

He loves his football analogies but explains difficult concepts in a way that was easy to grasp. He seems to care about his students and loves a good debate. He cares more about you ability to justify and explain the thought process behind you choosing an answer more than the actual answer.

Please do yourself a favor and DO NOT take his class. He will spend extra time in his lectures confirming he is doing a great job as a professor without acknowledging that more than half of his students are failing his course. His quizzes will 100% not correlate to any material given. None of the negative ratings are false. He earns them.

Avoid this professor if you can! His quiz questions and answers are often poorly worded so it's sometimes difficult to understand what the questions are asking and what the answers are. The lectures are supremely boring, although it is important to pay attention and know every word because the quizzes are all based off on them.

Avoid the class if you don't have an inkling of marketing knowledge. But if you do, don't expect to understand the quizzes. Khan needs to reassure himself and try to convince you that he is great - repeatedly... Hopefully, you don't have a constant commenter on each call; it will be the (call) that never ends; it will go on and on, my friends.

This professor's lectures are very interesting and he makes it easy to understand, however, he makes his quiz way too complicated than it should be. The quizzes will have lots of trick questions where it is very wordy. The 3 essays are graded by the TA. The only interesting one was the last one other than it was ok.

DO NOT TAKE this class with this professor unless you already have a background in marketing. His lectures are long and wordy. The textbook is outdated and does not align with what he lectures. His quizzes include questions that are wordy and hard to understand and never align with the review material for the week.

*I took this class online* This professor is EXTREMELY understanding and personable. He definitely wants you to succeed in his class. This class is extremely easy to pass if you stay current on your assignments. I did not have the best exam average but I still maintained a good grade.

I'm not sure why Dr. Khan has bad reviews for his online classes. His lectures are easy and clear, he has group papers which are simple, and exams each week. The exams were 35 questions each, quizlet saved me. There is NO homework. You do not have to work with a group for papers, but it made it much easier. Take his course for an easy grade!

First class in the program after many years since BBA. Dr Khan is fair, his lectures are recorded and best listened to at 1.5 speed. His tests are fair, not easy, but fair. I would take him for a Marketing elective if I could, really liked his style.
