While he is a flexible marker and it is easy to get a good grade in this class, I question how much he really knows about teaching. He can be quite rude and often interrupts students. His lectures are just the textbook chapter rephrased. Would not recommend as a teacher, and is does not make the class interesting or remotely stimulating.

Imran is one of the best profs I've had so far at Kwantlen. He is unique and sometimes funny. It is important that you listen to what he says in class and be sure to pay attention to the examples he goes over because those exact ones will be on the exams. If you want an easy gpa booster take this class with Imran.

Sure he may be easy enough to pass with but not to get an A+. He is extremely lazy, can be quite rude, and does an awful job teaching the material, if at all. While I found that he was lenient in certain areas, in others he was not. His true/false are trick questions and if you want to do well you are going to need to teach yourself.

Honestly you don't even need to attend all the classes. Everything is from the textbook and you pretty much just study from that. Group project is basically teaching the class a chapter from the text. T/F quizzes are a little difficult but the tests and projects real easy.

Imran has knowledge but feels that he shouldn't have to be teaching students anything (??????). All assignments are self-directed with little guidance from him. His idea of "class discussions" is to number about 8 students off (out of 25) and let them speak in that order, often interrupting students mid-sentence and being disrespectful in general.

I've never rated a prof and I strongly feel that I should for Imran. Instead of teaching us the course material, he assigns chapters to groups and the groups teaches the class instead. Assignments are randomly assigned that are irrelevant to marketing. Talks about twitter which is irrelevant. Quizzes are random with no assign dates.
