I think gault wrote these reviews himself. He was horrible. He never knew what he was talking about. He's going to make you believe your going to come out of school earning major $ but face reality and talk to previous graduates. He does help you a lot with your resume and how to apply to jobs but finding one is up to you. Do an internship.

Not too bad of a class. Homework assignments are easy and boost your grade and the group project is more of an annoyance than anything. He's an interesting guy to listen to, but his lectures are fairly useless when it comes time for the exams, 90% of the exam material is out of the book. Didn't take a single note in class.

Not a big fan of Gault. Every single class he opens the syllabus for a half hour-hour and rambles on about his changes. He spends so much time doing so that he does not teach and will give you assignments without the proper instruction.

Overall he does even really teach, just rushes through PPT without explaining anything. Asking him for help/clarification is pointless he'll blow you off

By far the worst Professor I have ever had. He has a massive attitude when you ask him questions, quizzes (basically exams) are impossible, grading is okay(he curves everything because everyone would fail otherwise). I got a good grade but if he didn't curve I would have failed. I wish I could give him a zero but you have to give him a one.

Probably the worst teacher I've ever had. He is strict, rude, doesn't answer questions, and flies through powerpoints. His tests are very difficult, would never recommend him as a teacher. If youre easy overwhelmed don't take his class because it wont make sense anyway. STAY AWAY!!!

Lots of homework

The worst professor I have ever had. Tests are ridiculously hard, and all of the test questions are from the powerpoints he goes over in class. He doesn't post the powerpoints and goes way too fast through the powerpoints to take good notes. Two tests are worth 50% of your grade, and he will NEVER respond to your emails. SAVE YOURSELF AND STAY AWAY

Gault is the worst professor Ive ever had. He isnt extremely rude and doesnt answer any questions or emails. His tests are hard but he curves them. He speeds through PowerPoint and expects you to know every detail but doesnt post them online. I do not recommend

This dude isnt good at teaching, and it almost seems like he knows that, because the exam grades get curved about 10% or more. He doesn't seem to like his job because he gets a little rude when questions are asked because he can be very unclear. Hes a control freak who needs everything to be in a certain way sometimes to the point it makes no sense

Best online professor so far. I like the way his D2L site is set up and that he lets you work at your own pace. You take his quizzes four times and they are all from his slides and text. He cares about saving $ and text was only $30. Class is actually MKT250 Principles but the menu doesn't list so I picked the closest number.

I really like working in teams in this class. Some of the lecture can drag a little but overall I really like the way Gault sets up the class. I'm considering working in advertising but he says the pay is pretty low in the beginning.

Gault reopened all the chapter quizzes the last couple weeks of class. He gave us all an extra attempt to improve our overall course grade. I went from an 88 to a 93 and ended up with an A in the class. If you email him for help he gets back to you right away. Excellent online class definitely take him.

If you get anything but an A, change your major to something else. His class is straight forward. Show up on participation day, take good notes. His quizes are really test but all multiple choice. He gives plenty of chances to improve your grade so dont be lazy. People who fail this class shouldnt be in college.10/10 Good Marketing fountation class

I took his online course (it would have been online covid or not) and it was tough but fair. The only grades are 4 mult choice tests w/ 2 attempts that are on D2L with plenty of time allowed. lectures could drag on but if you took good notes the tests werent too bad. He was great about sending emails and interacting with the class.

The class was online so idrk but he was good at sending out emails and giving a good curve to tests. The tests were also pretty easy to do using the powerpoints, not super google able tho. GAVE A REALLY GOOD CURVE LIKE I GOT B AVERAGE ON MY TESTS AND GOT A HIGH A IN THE CLASS. I don't know what he is like personally at all tho bc it was asynch.

5 quizzes as your whole grade (2 att each). They are only hard if you spend the hours he wants you to looking at his powerpoints (ps quizlet is very useful in this class); unless of course you actually want to learn marketing. Do not take an online course if you want to learn lol. Not a hard class if you just use quizlet for the tests.

This guy seems like the biggest nut case I've ever had as a prof. He has no regard for people's time, and asks questions like: is the bonus quiz worth 5 points on top of the 100 the class is worth? The answer is false, it's worth 4. Half the questions on this quiz aren't even answered in the syllabus. What the....

Class is compromised of 5 online quizzes where he encourages use of every resource available to you. In the age of AI, this class is a free A+.

I literally would not recognize this guy if I was staring at him. I never had any contact with him throughout this asynchronous course because it was that easy. 5 quizzes that are open note and I pulled up all of his powerpoints and got 100% in the class by just cross-referencing his notes with the quizzes.

Took a hybrid in-person and online class, but tbh it was just online with one in-person class. It was tough in that your grade depends on few tests with difficult material, but it was easy bc he gives us 3 attempts per exam and plenty of time to prepare. I finished the class almost a month before the semester ended bc I just decided to work ahead

My class was completely asynchronous except for a mandatory seminar you had to participate in one time with about 20 other kids. Super easy tho and you only have to speak once or twice. No final. Graded by 5 quizzes (40 questions each, 3 attempts) you take throughout the year. You watch about 8 videos per quiz. Take him if you don't want class lol

I honestly forgot I had this class. It was online, & we were given a total of 5 assignments the whole semester, all quizzes. No final. Gault makes all his own quizzes, so nothing can be found on Chegg or Quizlet. You'll have to use the textbook to search for your answers.

Only had 6 quizzes throughout the semester and one extra credit quiz in the beginning based on reading the syllabus. It can be nerve-racking to only be graded on this, but you have 3 attempts for each quiz, about 50 questions each, and about an hour per attempt.

if you're looking for a stress-free marketing class this one is the way to go because there is no homework and no final. there are just 5 quizzes due throughout the semester which I got an A on all of them. However, I kind of regret taking this class because I really didn't learn much considering there isn't any assignments.

This class consisted of 5 exams + 1 syllabus exam that can count up to a 0.5-point grade increase. The exams are based on textbook readings, class presentations, and videos he records. You have three attempts for each exam and the highest grade is recorded. As long as you read and take notes, you will do great! I will be taking him again next sem.

Great and easy class! The whole class consists of only 5 module quizzes (3 attempts on each) with an optional bonus syllabus quiz. The lecture videos were easy to understand and the quizzes were easy as long as you pay attention and take notes. D2L page was very organized, and I was able to finish this class a month early!
