Years later Coach Mandel is still the best professor I ever had.
Probably the best teahcer of all time. Makes class fun and on top of that you learn thnigs you will never forget. Coach Mandel keeps me fully interested in his class at 8:00 in the mourning.....I find that amazing....TAKE HIS CLASSES YOUL LOVE HIM
Self-centered ego-maniac who is great at marketing...marketing HIMSELF!!!
Good teacher, obsessed with himself, but funny and has great sense of humore
Mandel is a good teacher. He makes the class interesting. He seems intimitating at first but give it some time...you'll love him. Also he's a touch self-absorbed..just like me.
i love jack he is a great teacher as well as friend he helped me through so much .. he is self absorbed but when you have literally the perfect family why not brag
He's a great teacher, the classes were always fun.
ok so, he's obsessed with himself. i learned more about him and his sons then i did public relations. i took harder tests in high school, i wont complain tho. if u want an easy A, take the class and kiss his a**
Spent one semester at NCC, although it was the worst 4 months of my life. JACK MANDEL showed me light. He taught me things you CANNOT learn in the classroom and has a perfect business mindset. Take his CLASS!
This guy is living proof of the story of Narcissis. Obsessed with himself, it's a wonder he can leave the mirror in the morning to get to class. You will learn ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about marketing, but you will get a nice grade anyway.
This teacher is a self-centered, shallow, egotistical jerk. But that's OK because he does not require any work at all,tells entertaining stories, and gives easy "A"s
The epitone of small business Jack Mandel an experienced entrepreneur who teaches from his life experiences and heart shows his classes a true first hand experience into the business world by taking the classroom to the business. I have taken several classes with him.
Professor Mandel is unlike any other teacher. He uses his own experiences to help enhance the course, which allows you to get a better understanding of the public relations field, and the course as well. He is very fun, willing to work with you, and understands his students' personal needs.
Mandel is full of enthusiasm and really seems to enjoy teaching college at NCC. He demands alot in terms of tests, homework, and a project but in the end the class really taught me about the sport marketing business. Speakers are great too! He has avery unique style of teaching.
Mandel is a understanding and kind prof. who understands the needs of his students. As the Pres. of the Latino program on campus he fully supported all our activities this semester and even was willing to volunteer his time. He shows warmth and compassion for his students and his job at NCC.
Although Professor Mandell is really strict when it comes to attendance and lateness policies(he dropped 3 or 4 students early in the semester)he is still great! I learned to be a true "winner". Tests are hard but straight from the textbook. If you want someone to keep you awake, Mandel is your man!
Prof Mandel is the best teacher i've had. He makes learning fun. If you study tests aren't hard, and if you ever need help he is there to lend a hand. I would definitely recommend him.
It's hard to believe it but I've had Prof. Mandel since freshman year. Now I'm graduating. I've had him for 4 classes. Although I retained mostly C's and B's in his classes, I had a wonderful time being part of such a great classroom environment. He is entertaining, and straight-forward and a real warm professor. He's not the average NCC professor
Prof. Mandel is the MAN. It is not a free ride class but definitely worth the trip. He makes the class a fun and very enjoyable experience. He has a lot to offer if you open your mind. There is a big project to do throughout the semester but it is fun and you work in a group. Definitly try to get Prof. Mandel for this or any other Marketing Class.
Prof "M" is the quintessential self-centered, ego-maniacal, pompous figure-head whose primary talent is promoting himself! Being "Prof. M" is his entire identity and likes to play it up. Sure, getting a good grade is easy, just stroke his ego...you will learn little in his class!!!
I think too many NCC students are, too immature to handle Prof. Mandel's method of teaching. He shares his experiences in business and many students say it's his "ego" talking. I'd rather have him talk for life than only from a text book.It's a terrific class(I took him both in Fall 2004 and Spring 2005). He's witty, articulate and funny!
Professor Jack Mandel teaches students important life lessons besides sports marketing. In this class, professor Mandel encourages TEAMWORK, responsibility, and independent thought. In this class professor Jack Mandel knows each of his student by face and name. He takes interest in all of his students.
demanding but fun. has alot of sarcasm in his humor but very funny! Truly enjoys his job and it shows
I had him this semester, at first I thought that it would be a hard class and wanted to drop. He tries to scare people in the begining. Towards the end I started liking the guy, even though he talks about himself and his problems in class. As long as you do well on th tests, you'll be fime. Now I think he's one of the best proffesors I ever had.
I have had Prof Mandel for two classes now. PR and Direct Marketing. He is a great teacher. He conects with his students on higher level. Every couple tuesdays we have a great field trip or a speaker come in and teach us about thier business and how they are successful. I recomend Jack Mandel as your teacher for the subjects he teaches.
he's very into himself plus he has a very annoying attendance policy which basically makes you have to come to class. if your a girl definetly take one of his classes, he'll give you a good grade for sure. just make sure you show u tried hard on his final project and your bound to do well
he gives about 3 tests and there are not tricks on them he tells you how it is straight up and down. HE IS THE****!!!
at times he's annoying and but he can be cool too (sometimes). Is he the best professor at NCC.. NO but, he's ok. don't expect to learn much and if u can't take being the butt of one his jokes.. he's probably not for you
Jack is a good guy,people need to stop complaing,especially if you passed.In class you kissed his butt,now you wanna dis him behind his back,not cool.Yeah he loves to talk about himself most of the time,who cares,i passed.Stop hating.
He is an okay guy. If you're a girl expect an A a guy a B

Although his midterm and final is hard, if you study, you do OK. He has a personal style of teaching; very unique. Some students think he's "into himself". NOT TRUE! He knows business from doing it his whole life. TAKE HIM! I also liked going on field trips and the special guest speakers he brought into class.
Youll never be bored in mandell class. he has a very tuff attendence and lateness policy but thats because he want to keep the class serious. and keep loosers out. he acts like acouch and we are on his team. a term project and his tests are really hard but at least i walked out learnig something about the sports business. he is no B.S.
Mandel taught me a lot about starting my own catering business. He really has a positive attitude and shows it in class. Some people think that when he talks about his business experiences, he's bragging. But I think otherwise. He can't be fooled easily either. I'm taking him for P.R. next term.
Mandel is one of NCC's friendliest, and sincere professors. he has a great sense of humor snd took the time to really explain his exams and class project. he likes to bring his business experiences into classs and that makes for a less boring experienvce. i really liked the field trips and guest professors he invites too.TAKE HIM!
Prof. Mandel was one of the greatest professor's i ever had he is the reason i am finally a year away from school i just would still like to thank him to this day jack mandel will always be a winner to me
HE A COOL TEACHER HE KNOWS HIS STUFF. HIS CLASS IS EASY IF YOU LISTEN TO HIM WHEN HES NOT TALKING ABOUT HIM SELF. ALL AND ALL A GOOD TEACHER
Easily the best teacher if i ever had hes the reason i loved goin to nassau so much. Defintly recomend i took him for 6 classes and would take him for 6 more if possible
Nobody could ever possibly like this man as much as he likes himself. If you can get past his annoying egotistical personality, you can learn some good real life advice. Also it is an easy class
great teacher...as long as you try. if he knows you try nd your a good student he will help you out. material isnt hard and theres always a good laugh in class every time. good magic tricks too
easy teacher BUT he has an ego a mile long. talks too much about himself, kids, divorce and his night life. doesnt really focus on the class work. if yuour having an off day try and leave it at the door bc if you get anything less than a "C" on a test he'll threaten to drop you bc then you are a "loser". only cares about how he looks. hes the loser
Professor Mandel's classes are for students who want to learn how to be successful in business. His class includes the opportunity for students to network with professionals during field trips to such venues as Ice Works and Westbury Music Fair. Mandel gives his students an insiders view of the "real world" and how to succeed in it.
all i have to say is, if you're guna talk the talk, walk the walk. ;)
he is very selfish and doesnt care about his students only how he looks in the colleges eyes
Mandel is the best. Take his class, he is an excellent professor. NCC and his students are lucky to have him as a teacher.
Prof "M" AKA “Professor JM LOVE" really knows marketing. Not only does he practice what he preaches, but he wears it too. Sometimes, immature students can't handle his honesty. His field trips & "guest professors for a day" make his classes the best!!!!! TAKE HIM...... Hands down! He's tough but fair and loves what he does.
Great teacher, easy class.. takes you on trips and brings people in to talk to you about the real life, better then a teacher reading straight from the textbook.. just dont be a loser and you'll def pass!!
Self-centered, ego maniac!!! Teach what you are supposed to teach and stop boring us with all the stories about your personal life!!! Being "Professor M" is his whole identity...what a loser!!!
Like Sports Marketing...take this class, hate this Sports Marketing...take this class anyway, he is the man
Does talk about his personal life alot, but who cares he teaches the true meaning of good Public Relations: B.S. That's all Public Relations is anyway. It's just lying to make your organization look better when it screws up. That's exactly what Mandel does!
Teaches you things that you don't normally learn is school. Uses the book for important terms, but everything else is taught from real life experience. Not just his experience, but also many successful people that brings to lecture at the school or takes you on a field trip to see. Take this guy only if really want to do something with yourself!

Good professor who will help you as long as you try. Will act mean at first to get lazy kids out of the class. After that you enjoy the class. Take the class!!!
People need to stop hating. I wish every professor could be as simple and honest as Mandel. Besides he does what he teaches outside of class. I think the people who give him bad ratings are just jealous.
Jack is the man. Plain and simple. he makes class fun, you dont even feel like your in class with this guy. every single teacher on the face of this earth needs to be like him. End of story

What a guy. He's smart, caring, sheik and a riot. Mandel without a doubt is the best teacher i ever had in NCC. He uses teaching techniques that are uncanny to any other professor in the school, whether it was having a teacher for a day or Going on field trips it would always be a fun and interesting time "Professor Mandel is in a class of his own"
Professor Jack Mandel is the greatest professor for sport marketing. He really knows what he is talking about and he knows how to get it across to the students. Not only that the guest speakers and the class trips were off the chain! He knows some good people. YOUR THE MAN...DEL.
Coach Mandel is a cool professor. he always makes the classes interesting. There's never a dull moment when u have professor mandel.
I would think it would be in the best interest of any student in NCC to request professor Mandel as a teacher. He provides the class with very interesting guest speakers, fun class projects, and takes you on fields trips. He is a nice teacher, and although seems tough at first, he is doing it for the good of the class so theres no losers in class.
Professor Jack Mandel is the best professor for sports marketing. He keeps everything interesting and knows how to get everyone in the class to understand what he is teaching. He brings in very interesting guest speakers that motivate you to exceed, he takes you on fields trips, and has a fun class group project. His classes are fun and exciting
Mandel is a wonderful teacher. One of the few teachers that actually care about his students succeeding in life. He takes you on field trips to meet famous people and he also brings them to you to teach you the insight of the real world. He gives only three tests and if you fail them there is something wrong with you basically. I love this teacher!
Professor Mandel is a one of kind. His brilliant outside the class field trips and "teacher for a day" make you think what marketing is all about, rather than just a textbook. He also took the extra time to prepare me for the business world by teaching me how to tie a tie. This is something i was a little embarrased about, but he made me welcomed.
Prof. Mandel or Prof. Love as he likes to call himself is a genuine, funny, and dedicated professor. Prof. Mandel gives a lot of "hands on" experiences by hosting multiple lectures and field trips for his students to better understand his teachings. Prof. Mandel is all about winners not losers so if you not willing, don't bother.

Amazing that so many students are impessed by this guy!!! He is a self-absorbed and self-centered ego-maniac! Seems his purpose in life is to stand in front of an audience (a captive one at that) and stroke his own ego...his entire world is being "Prof. M"...when will you students wake up and realize what a college level course is supposed to be?!
Four c's consistent, caring, cool and charismatic. That pretty much sums up "prof. M". He has more enthusiasm then any other teacher at ncc. He hates losers. Can't wait to take him for the third time in September 2011.
Had him for PR Hes def unlike any other prof i've had, makes class interesting, makes us laugh. he took us on many field trips so its more hands on than straight lecture from a textbook he is very strict on lateness and WILL embarrass u in front of everyone if u try to walk in late! overall great guy who actually cares about our success TAKE HIM!!!
Professor Mandel is awesome! You can instantly tell he loves his job and cares about the students at Nassau. I have him this semester and hes been nothing but understanding and straight forward in class. If you have the opportunity definitely take one of his classes! you will actually like going to school for once lol
Professor Mandel is a Guru when it Comes to inspiring, motivating and getting the best out of his students. His no tolerance for lateness and absence I think goes unapreciated. Aside from all the other hands on experiences he uses to teach this is one of the best. First step of being successful is arriving and arriving on time. Best prof. I had.
Amazing that so many students are impressed by this guy!!! He is a self-absorbed and self-centered ego-maniac! Seems his purpose in life is to stand in front of an audience (a captive one at that) and stroke his own ego...his entire world is being "Prof. M"...when will you students wake up and realize what a college level course is supposed to be?!
thats my boy right there
Mandel, ill never forget him. That is for sure. This man has made me a better through his teaching style and filed trips. But when you take him, he doesnt expect LOSERS. Only WINNERS take his classes. Thanks Jack....
Professor Mandel is a GREAT professor. His classes aren't the usual boring lectures and if you put in an effort, you will get the grade you worked for. You learn so much from his field trips, it's never a dull moment in his class. It was a pleasure taking him this semester & I recommend him to everyone!!
Had a rough start, got caught on my cell phone which is unnacceptable in Mandel's class, wrote a letter of apology and never did it again.. turned out to be a great semester got an A in the end. Hes an Awesome professor .. does more hands on learning through field trips and guest speakers and puts public relations to real life. study the key words!
Great overal Teacher. Verly fair and kind to students. Strict with cell phones but otherwise a pleasure as a teacher. Makes the class enjoyable and always a pleasure to be in. One of the best teachers i have seen at Nassau. It is a must take class.
Professor Mandel was one of the only teachers that actually made class worth going to. His style of teaching is different then other teachers if you listen to what he says to do you will be fine. If you are a loser and do not show up to class this isnt the right teacher for you.
Mandel is a GREAT professor!!!. You will learn a lot from his PR class. His style of teaching is different from others. From field trips to lectures its a more hands on learning experience!!! You really learn and understand PR. When it comes to attendance and cellphones in class he can be very strict about it, but otherwise great professor to take!
This dude's an awesome guy, very differnt with his teaching style. A lot more hands-on but one thing about Prof. Mandel, he has a pretty good amount of fieldtrips and lectures that during club hr so be willing to compromise if you take him. Lets you do all sorts of extra credit to raise ur grade, not that much work at all.

Most amazing professor i have ever had. Helps me with anything issues. personal or class, his is door is always open. Can't wait to take more classes with him
Well first off He doesnt play games with cell phones if he sees it your out! As well as lateness. He runs the class like its hes home and your a welcome guest. Interesting public speakers come. And the trips were helpful because it gave you tips to the real world. Professor mandel is a VERY unique teacher.
Teaching is a job. I get that, and as a teacher youâ??re not obligated to do anything more than show up to class and give us a grade and there are some professors that canâ??t even handle that. However, you did much more than that.You go above and beyond what is expected of you.Thank you for being really a great college professor your a WINNER!
Mandel will "call you out" in a funny way. One of those guys you either love or hate! The hour goes by fast you can tell he has a passion for his profession. Take him but be prepared to do work. Espically on the group project. Don't be a slacker and you will enjoy the class.
He tries his best to make sure each and every student sris to do their very best and motivates his students to do so. He single handlely is the reasonwhy Im continuing to go to college now. Everyone attending Nassau should take a course Prof. Mandel teaches. If you dont, your simply missing out.
The best teacher you will ever have at NCC. The first day he tells you how it is, you can either be a WINNER or a LOSER. Very funny guy and cares alot about his students. Dont text in class and show up to his classes and he will like you....the biggest thing he gives you is a group project......He is NCC
Prof Mandel is the best teacher at NCC. his class is very easy as long as you do the work. he loves his students and has a great heart. always trying to help his students. do your work. walk the walk dont talk the talk. field trips are also a big part of the class, they are educational and very fun! this class was a great class.
Where to start, Jack Mandel is a great professor IF you respect him, the respect will be MUTUAL. Don't you dare bring food to his class or be ready to leave once its spotted. He is a wise man with lots of knowledge. Its simple do the work, and receive the grade you deserve. What do you want to be a loser or a "winner" i choose winner. TAKE HIM! -jf

Professor Mandel is one of my favorite professors at Nassau! He takes his class seriously, and knows how to keep his students interested. Even though there is work, he makes the class exciting, trust me 8am class is never exciting, but i always enjoy it!
BEST PROFESSOR YET! Devoted, inspiring, funny, different, smart, it was such a pleasure taking his class! He's real, down to earth and teaches with a passion! love him!
Professor Mandel is an family oriented man,old school, takes no bull.He will punish you or reward you as if you were his very own kids. If you're late don't bother entering, if you're late or don't make it to his class 3 or more times be prepared to sign a withdrawl form right then and there in front of the class next time you attend.
This dude is "Mr.NCC", although we call him "coach" or "Dr. JM Love." Play by his rules and u r ok. NO Texting, food or drink EVER...he will ask you to leave the class. Late or absent 4 times and you are withdrawn. I met speakers from NIKE and Live Nation. Mandel knows his stuff. He has good style and a ring in his ear lol. TAKE MY MAN!
It's not what you know but who you know and Mandel proved it over and over with his guest professors and field trips. If your lazy dont take him. He takes no B.S. He throws out cell phone users. I had t write a letter of apology and read it to the class. lol
Tome una clase a las 7am, tal vez un poco loco tomar una clase tan temprano pero tuve mucha suerte, supe desde el primer día que Profesor Mandel iba a ser "espectacular". Tiene reglas muy severas para los celulares y la puntualidad pero mantuvo la clase muy interesante. Definitivamente recomiendo tomar esta clase es excelente.
Professor Mandel is the most caring Professor I've ever had. He works hand in hand with students until they completely understand everything explained. He takes his time to help his students in any way possible. I plan to become a professional entertainer, professor Mandel uses his own resources to help entrepreneurs like me!!
I don't understand how people are writing how good he is...he doesn't teach you at all... you get tested on things he doesn't teach you.. spends all class talking about bull and makes the class meet 8 times during club hour to a far away venue to hear some stupid lecture just so he doesnt have to teach... he seems cool the first day. thats it.
I have professor Mandel for my 7AM MKT 100 class and I was never late! He may be a pain with his rules but it was fun; there is never a dull day in this class. . .it just flew by. I really learned a lot from Him, his "Guest Professors," and his field trips. He knows a lot of people and there's always opportunity to make connections.
I have professor Mandel for MKT 138 public relations. I am an aspiring entrepreneur in the fashion industry with my own collection of high quality Streetwear, he has given me advice I could never receive from a text book. His guest speakers inspire young business people like me. He may be tough on lateness and cellphone use but take him anyway!
The best professor EVER!
Professor Mandel is the best professor on this campus. As a football player he teaches us how to be a player on nd off the field. d how to be reponsible for my actions. If you give 100% effort, he will give it back to you.
Professor Mandel is not only the best professor at NCC, but he is the most understanding one. If you have a problem, he will go out of his way to help you and he cares alot about the success of his students. I would recommend any student to take him for a great marketing experience. I had him for a 7am class and it was the best class I ever took
Mandel is a great teacher he taughtme more about sports marketing but the vaule of being on time and to be a team player. He is the best
he is a Brand itself and market himself only. Get advantages from all guest speakers. he doesn't teach you at all... you get tested on things he doesn't teach you.. spends all class talking about himself I have only one page notes in his whole smester. he don't teach anything. just talking about himself.
Prof. M has a non traditional way of teaching. At first i didn't like him b/c of how he would talk to students and talk about himself. I slowly realized the reason for his insane rules are to see who respects him by following them. Make sure you listen to his stories&also READ the text. He actually matches very well & dresses nicely i was impressed
Prof Mandel was an amazing prof. I took him last semester Fall 2013. At first I wasn't sure about the class if I would like it or not. Mandel knows what he is talking about. For the field trips and lectures I went to I loved them all, they were fun. I really suggest taking his class if your serious about a marketing major!
Jack Mandel has such a big ego. He literally talked bout himself the entire semester and never once used the textbook. He brought us on all the field trips and lectures during club hour. Some of them were so boring! I didn't learn anything from him in the classroom only a little bit from the guest professors.
Mandel just had the COO if the NY Cosmos soccer team visit. I have been playing soccer since i was 3 and i love the sport even more now-infact im on the NCC soccer team. He knows people and cares about more than a textbook. Wake up and take him. He is #1 although he is willing to throw out cell phone users and doesnt let you drink in class.
Dr. Love was the best professor at nassau. Attendance is mandatory but the class is so fun its not a problem. He says no phones but you can get around that. His test are easy, field trips & speakers were the best part because it gives students hope of being able to finish college & start a career. He said I would remember his class & I will.
Although he is funny at times, I haven't learned a thing from his lectures. You must study from the text for tests, for each class is him talking about his personal experiences. He will read this review, laugh, & not think anything of the feedback & show the class also. Very self-centered. Also you must attend field trips OUTSIDE of class time.
Any idiot with half a brain can read a textbook...that's why Mandel's lectures were so interesting. He talk from business and personal experience. Lazy? Stay away...No cellphones or drinks in his class, or he will throw you out, he threw me out twice!!! Guest speakers and field trips get an "A".
Test are straight from the book... I always looked forward to his class. Mandel knows the real deal but you can't get away with s__t! I was late 3 times and almost got dropped but I got my act together.
Project taught me to work as a team member. I did well in his class cause I followed his test study sheets. Field trips were a lot of fun ... And I learned from pros in the field. Funny guy!
Any one in marketing who does not take couch Mandel is a FOOL. He is the only ncc prof I will remember if I ever graduate this school!!!! Lamo His stories are one of a kind. Made me laugh.
He's such a clown but in a good way i guess. I took sports marketing and it was very easy. Tests are right from the text. You don't do much in class even though attendance is mandatory. You have to attend guest speakers and field trips which kinda suck but if you attend you should have no problem getting an A.
he does not teach you anything about sports marketing. only talks about his own sad, miserable, and pathetic life. he's divorced yet is called "doctor love". just do not take the class. oh and the group project? yeah good luck with that.
This class still marks as one of the "fun" type of classes I have ever taken in Nassau Community College. Even in this course, you get to go on trips and so on. Plus the tests was pretty easy.
He's so funny! He talks about himself a lot but makes time go faster lol. He's class is so easy and Gives lots of extra credit if you're failing. Don't be out or he'll drop you immediately after 3 absences. Next semester will be my 3rd semester taking him. He's great!!! :) TAKE HIM. Easy A!!!!
Mandel was an amazing professor, just make sure you show up on time and do not use your phone. If you aren't going to wok together with your team on your group project then just withdraw because you will fail. The tests are fair and he does not BS you. I will take him for multiple classes because I know I will work hard and get the grade I deserve.
Professor Mandel was the best professor I had the pleasure of meeting at NCC. His kindness and willingness to help his students was incredible. He took us on field trips that helped give us insight to how the business world really operates. Mandel had a large influence on my academic success at NCC, and I will always remember that. NO CELL PHONES!!
Mandal is awesome. he stresses attendance a lot but he does it so he gets the best out of his students. two tests (midterm and final) which he gives you a review sheet for. they were middle school format tests. one big group project that he stresses a lot, worth 50% of your grade. show up to class and go to the field trips and you'll get an A.
Coach will bust your chops if you come in late my buddy was dropped. Project taught me to be part of the team make sure you're part of a good team. No B.S in his class it's Mandel's team and youre a player. he's one of a kind! Take him
He's a really cool professor who greatly cares for his students. His tests are easy if you read the book but he focuses a lot on outside learning and brings in inspirational guest speakers. You go on some field trips as well which are also a lot of fun. Thanks to him I was able to have a job opportunity at Nike!
we have trips in this class extremely fun.... must take him!!!!!!!
I had this class at 7am and never missed a day, my whole class was always on time. We also went on field trips and had guest professors. This was my favorite class for the semester! NO Food or Drinks allowed! But take the class it was great!
If you're on a team at NCC, this class is for you. Think of Mandel as your coach. He'll call you out for not doing homework, coming in late and if he sees a cell phone, he'll make you write an apology letter which you have to read to the class. Group Project requires real effort. 2 tests, which are fair because he gives study sheets but not easy.
A very relatable professor, he understands his students and his class is not 13th grade. He cares! He even came to support me at a school fashion show. Take his class you won't regret it! Plus he spends a lot of money on sneakers!
Ok PR is what i specifically want to do in my line of work. I love Jack he's such a cool guy BUT if you love PR and want to learn a lot pick a diff prof. He is super lazy and talks about himself way too much. The only way you will learn anything is by the text book. So if you don't care for PR too much + want a good grade take him + READ THE BOOK
If your looking for easy, don't take mandel. He holds you to task. No food, water, or lateness. Yet, I love the class! I worked my butt off on the project and learned the importance of a group. Met George Ross (Donald Trumps Attorney). It is my most memorable class at Ncc, but expect to work!
I had him for direct marketing 108 and the toughest part was the group project. He hates slackers and people who come in late! He hates seeing the people with their phones, food or water. It's "his house and we just rent it." (A quote by mandel) The trips and guest speakers were great though but you MUST go on club hour. Hes funny so take him!
Great professor , definetly would take again . Yes they're are group project but they are fun. Also they're are many learning trips. Funny guy he is need an elective would chose this one !
Great teacher; would recommend to everyone , taught me a lot about life and going after what you love instead of the money
Fun, funny, educational, and exciting
This class is not rocket science!!! Every slacker takes this class because they know it's an easy A. He knows his stuff but tends to lecture off topic. He might lower your grade if you can't attend his field trips in the middle of the day on a weekday also some of the students sucked and he gave them higher grades than others.
Im on the basketball team and he treated me like a player. He was fair but tough. No food, no drinks, no phones, and if you come late, youre off his team. You must go on field trips or you get marked absent. Overall, it was a great experience.
Profess Mandel a good teacher . He treats the class like a team. He give homework and review sheet . No cellphone every . He will throw you out of the class . Respect goes along way in his class. Take his class you won't regret it .
I'm on the lacrosse team and prof M is more of a coach than a professor he demands a lot guys are a team like me can handle it and others cant the class room is his home we just rent space i got a B because the project was hard worth my time
If you want a teacher who reads from the textbook, pick another class. Between his field trips and guest speakers, we learned a lot more than formal education. He is tough when it comes to cell phones as well as absences. If you're lazy, DO NOT take him. Will be taking him again
refreshing to experience guest professors and field trips. Not bored with power points and lectures all semester. No cell phones and must be on time or your grade will definitely suffer. After 4 absences you will be dropped. He teaches business and means business. Overall great professor! Now I am going to Baruch! CIAO NCC HELLO NYC
Great professor, but if you dont have a lot of extra time on your hands dont take him. Field trips count as classes and are on days that you dont have class. Other than that his class is very easy. Barely checks homework & absolutely NO cell phones or drinks/food. He'll actually kick you out of his class if he sees any of it.
Good class ran by a good guy. He has relaxed a bit in terms of food and phones as well.
When you are in Mandel's class it's like his house and you are lucky to rent space. He teaches not just from the book but through feild trips and guest speakers which gives us more work but taught me a lot. He will throw you out if you have your cell on and no food and drinks are allowed. He's old school but I still had fun!
Professor Mandel is one of the best professors I have had at NCC, I took him for Public Relations 138 and I learned so much. Its important to go on field trips and listen to guest speakers but everyone he brings are great. In order to pass this class you need to have good attendance and study p.s NO CELLPHONES or DRINKS ALLOWED!!
Professor that wants you to succeed. We have field trips and public speakers that count toward your grade so make it that you attend. First few days, he seems like a tough professor but he turns out to be laid back and has a very dry sarcasm (in a good way). Make sure you buy the textbook. Expect texbook work.
Professor Mandel is by far the best professor at this campus. He is hilarious and just an overall awesome guy. But when it comes to work it's a very fair amount. Being on the baseball team I didn't find it hard to get an A of n his class but you need to put in some work. Professor Mandel is a must have professor while attending ncc.
Very funny man, and likes to crack innapropriate jokes but will make a college student laugh! He loves you if you are on any sports team at Nassau Community College. Show up, talk a little bit, do one homework and show him the same paper for every homework, works everytime!
He's a true genuine professor who truly cares about his students and gives the classroom a more relaxed vibe. Makes everyone feel comfortable and works very hard on getting special guest speakers to create opportunities for all who arrive at the lectures. He is a hilarious fun professor and is by far the greatest professor I've ever had
Easy Class, Easy A. He has guest speakers come to speak to all his classes which are pretty interesting. One negative thing is that he seems to care more about his speakers than he does about his students. When you go to these presentations he pretty much blows them.
Awesome professor and classes are always easy as long as you always show up and do your work. Tests always include whats discussed in class and usually come from terms or questions from the homework assignments which he pretty much only gives at the beginning of each chapter. Would take again!
Professor Mandel has made my NCC experience one of the best. I have taken him 3 marketing classes and Direct Marketing was my favorite by far my favorite. You have a big group project at the end of the semester that takes a lot of work and effort but is fun and helps you learn a lot. Professor Mandel makes you work for Your grade.
Guest speakers bring real life experiences and great opportunities to us to get a view into the world of marketing. Tough grader. Dont miss class or you will fail. Highly recommend taking his class. He does great magic tricks lol.
Professor Mandel or aka Dr Love, was by far one of my greatest mentors that Ive had. Hes understanding and makes the class worth while. He basically founded direct marketing at NCC therefore he knows his stuff and will make sure you do as well. Hilarious is an understatement for this man! Because of him I see a brighter future with my career.
Goat. He is the man, mad funny and a great guy. Take his class if you can.
THIS MAN IS POPPIN!!!! VERY STYLISH, NEVER A DULL MOMENT. MANDEL KEEPS LECTURES VERY INTERESTING, HE EVEN DID MAGIC TRICKS. THIS CLASS IS NOT EASY BUT NOT HARD. HE REALLY DOES CARE ABOU HIS STUDENTS. HIS PROJECT REQUIRES EFFORT SO DONT BE LAZY. PLEASE BE ADVISE DO NOT BRING FOOD OR DRINKS INTO CLASS THAT IS HIS BIGGEST PET PEEV! DONT BE LATE EVER.
Professor Mandel is one of the BEST teachers I've ever had. He sets the bar on the first day of class and encourages everyone to be winners. Professor Mandel goes out of his way, uses his connections with executives and brings them to speak to us. Best of all he cares! He's always featured in local news, so he's a celebrity. Take Mr fly guy!
He is the man, very funny and caring. If you need to take a marketing class go with him, you wont be upset. Work is very easy, had 2 tests and 1 project
I had Professor Mandel for 3 semesters and he is Atypical of other NCC professors. He stands out no B.S. Really cares for the students but is tough on Slackers. Take time on the project it will help in the long term. Overall my favorite professor of all time at NCC. I would purse to the G.O.A.T Professor !
The project is tough but Mandel helps all the way.
Sports marketing is a lot of fun with Mandel. Hes very serious when it comes to showing up on time and never drinking or eating in his class! The group project required the team work and if you are not serious dont take his class. He was my favorite teacher this semester.
He was awesome. Groups projects are cool and tests arent hard. Very interesting man to listen to. Has lots of cool stories. Doesnt tolerate drinks or food. There are winners and losers in his class. Figure out which one you want to be. Hes your coach and your the players. Make the best of it. Would definitely recommend.
HES FANTASTIC!!! I dont need to say anymore. Highly recommend.
HES FANTASTIC!!! Highly recommend.
Hes incredible. Funny material is straight forward and the lectures are really good. Group projects are there and those are really good to do. Very fun. Would highly recommend
Not only is Professor Mandel funny, hes easily the best dressed professor youll ever see. He is a easy going man with a great taste in jewelry. His class is fairly easy, but you still have to work. Hes very animated and a kid at heart. In MKT 138, you want to be a winner. His jewelry always matches his impeccable track suits. Great Professor!
I screwed up this semester & although I only received a D+, Mandel tried to be encouraging all the way. The most fair & creative professor I've had at Nassau. He knows his stuff & you will learn a lot here along with having fun. He threw my ot the class for drinking water & eating a Twix bar lol
Mandel changes the game, while other NCC teachers cant even play in his league! He builds winners and if youre lazy, come late, bring food or sodas into class, he will call you out. AND TELL YOU TO LEAVE! His guest professors really inspire. Be prepared to WORK! Project is tough but i made friends. He demands a lot from his students!
Mandels class is lit! He treats us as individuals not just students. But, youre held accountable for your own work. Unlike other teachers that just lecture he gives life lessons. Hes a goat!
Prof Mandel is a crazy, unorthodox, amazing teacher. I took him for Public Relations because i want to get in that career and he was great. just show up and participate and you will do fine. definitely would take again.
Professor Mandel is amazing he really goes above and beyond helping his students. He also makes class not so traditional and an over great learning experience: NO FOOD, DRINKS OR CELLPHONE ALLOWED (he will ask you to leave out of respect for him being a professor). Dont play games!
Prof. Mandel is a great professor. He strives and goes above and beyond for you to pass his class. Attendance is key and being a winner. As a member of the football team, he always checks up on us and treats us as a member of his team. Personally he cared enough to write me a letter of recommendation to a college Im transfering to. Remembered 4eva
Professor Mandel is the best professor in NCC. He cares for his students and loves his job. Hes funny and goes above and beyond for his students to get a great learning experience. If it werent for his class and his assigned group project, i wouldnt have had the best partners and best of friends! Easy A and i will definitely miss this class!!
Awesome professor, a breath of fresh air in the monotonous world of boring professors.
The professor doesn't seem to care much about attendance. He will assign you homework from the textbook, but doesn't check them. There is not a ton of homework, only one test, one group project and a final. The final is a press release which was in my opinion not explained well. Mandel does not accept extra credit assignments. No food or drink.
He knows how to get your respect
A good fun class.
Professor Mandel goes out and takes the extra mile to bring guest speakers to class and teach us life lessons that cannot be taught from any textbook . Always takes time to make sure your on track with your grades. Turns loosers into winners ! Dont be a looser
I really enjoyed his class!! He is totally different, funny, and smart!.
He's so easy. Literally the easiest college course of all time! His class is so laughable. He acts like it's not the 13th grade, but everything is so watered down. The only thing i don't understand is his dumb attendance policy. Like we don't learn anything just make it optional. But yea the dudes really not the big a deal LOL.
Mandel is tough on rules like no food or drinks and that you must come to class on time. He's also very strict with not having cellphones out. His test are easy as long as you follow the tip sheets he gives out. He tries to keep the class active throughout the duration of class. Very fun teacher who will with you. Even does magic.
simple tests with clear review sheets, attendance is mandatory, heavy grading on group projects. overall easy class. easy A.
Absolutely will not recommend, didn't learn much in the class. Had to go on YouTube and read the textbook, basically teach myself PR. He is funny, if you want class to just chill in then he might be the professor for you but if you want to learn I do not recommend.
You dont learn anything. You go to class just to listen to him talk about his life and then assign tons of homework. All the material is learned on your own time. He doesnt believe in PowerPoint and just shows movies and film that are irrelevant to the subject. Would not recommend. Regardless what class you have w him you do the same exact thing
Great professor, would recommend anyone to take his classes and you will succeed. He is very strict about no water or eating in class, and no cell phones he will ask you to leave. But he is unique.
he was awesome! great man, do what he asks and he wont dissapoint. different way of teaching, uses textbook but applies it to real world problems. Awesome personality and i would definitely take his class again :)
Prof Mandel is the G.O.A.T��. He is so unique in his style and talks from the heart! If you want to just take power point notes, he not your man. His guest professors from NIKE,PC Richardson, were LIT! But he is really rough on losers(people who dont show up or come late. Or on their cellphone). He makes the rules not you. I took him twice.
One of the most entertaining professors you can take at Nassau. Prof Mandel keeps it real with you teaching life lessons and scenarios that you wouldn't learn out of a textbook.
Professor Jack Mandel, Is by far the most real life marketer you could meet. Endless opportunities from the people you meet from guest speakers. No phone or food or you'll be out. An inside on the marketing world. 7am with a cup of Jack. Marketing 112
Best professor at NCC he ties his experiences to the lesson which make it interesting. Hes in the PR industry so he provides his own examples and makes it fun. Guest speakers and few assignments just do them and you should get a good grade. And lots of points for participation. Hes also hilarious and caring
The class was very easy, show up and just take about marketing. He is a bit of a wacky professor but he truly cares about his students. He actually helped me get an internship!
This Professor is the worst, he gives random quizzes and tests you and things that weren't even discussed. BEWARE. Save your time, money, and education.
I didnt like this professor. He is a hard tough grader. Dont waste ur time with this guy. He's very sarcastic and rude. very unfunny.
This professor is the worst. He lies to all his students about tests. Makes u go to unnecessary seminars and trips for no reason. Doesn't want to help, he is a complete sociopath and will destroy others to save himself. He only knows how to market himself.
This professor only cares about himself. He's very self-centered and will immaturely brag is own ego. Don't waste ur time on this guy, he's not worth it.
This Professor is a joke. He constantly talks about himself. He requires you to go to unnecessary events and guest speakers that don't help you in anyway and gives you questions to ask them. Overall, this professor was a waste of time. Take someone else. Please.
Will never take a class with this professor again. He makes his students go on ridiculous field trips & attend pointless guest speaker lectures. Assigns homework but has never checked any of them. Shows irrelevant tv shows and movies. Very self centered as well. DO NOT TAKE CLASSES WITH HIM! Can't wait for the semester to be over with.
Started off laid back and chill class, but dont be fooled. Dont waste your money/time on this guy. He takes you to trips that are irrelevant to the course, tests you on material he never mentions in class, then gets angry when you dont know what hes talking about. He has a high rating bc he bribes his students. Dont be fooled.
Overall great professor if you pay attention and Be respectable to him hell treat you fine. Just do what he says and its in easy A, Group Projects and Field Trips, SO WHAT! Easy and nice dude
He is the best professor I have ever had. From beginning to end, he is the goat and will never allow water to be drank in his class. His guest speakers were phenomenal and inspirational. He even helped me to make contact with an employer and I was always be thankful for that. If you dont take one of his classes your doing it wrong.
Jack Mandel of Nassau Community College offers a functional and innovative learning experience that only true passion & care can deliver. A bright professor with a even brighter soul. Great Professor. He is the undisputed, GOAT.
Professor Mandel is not only an excellent professor with a crystal clear understanding of the course material but a true visionary in the field in terms of how he conveys the message to his students so rather than just learning from the message they learn from it. He really is is the kindest individual I have interacted with as a college student
Professor Mandel, made every class very engaging, there was never a dull moment while learning at the same time. He made sure to highlight the importance of PR strategies in many different fields, he also showed a lot of his personal life that was all related to PR and his connections and things hes done in the profession. This class was great!
Professor Mandel is the type of teacher that will make you appreciate education. His hands on approach to teaching is effective. The way he incorporates guest speakers as PR representatives as well as book work gives you a full understanding of what PR is about. All you have to do is read, attend class and do the assigned work. Its been a pleasure
Ive took Professor Mandel for 3 classes and i will definitely will be taking his classes again. Going to class doesn't even feel like youre going to school, it feels like ur chilling with ur bro. Hes funny, makes the class fun, u barely get homework and you don't need the textbook. Hes definitely the best professor at Ncc, no question.
