No Comments
****y, has no "real" experience
If you read the material, study, impossible not to get an A, Great teacher
great teacher, interesting, has exp., somewhat hard, but you learn USEFUL info!
Very hard tests. Great lectures. Sometimes acts mean although okay. Very smart
No Comments
You'll learn something in his class as long as you try,
students do all the work, TA teaches the class, and Walker gets paid for it
he drives me wild, ya know what I mean?
Great lecture style! I am a marketing junkie now.

probably a good teacher just dont take lecture/lab format
Cute in an older guy kind of way! Learned a lot about marketing and society.

Didn't teach at all! I got nothing from the class
No respect for student opinion, arrogant, hates to teach.
Was there 1st & last day, I think he was my teacher????
This guy needs a beating

He is terrible he doesnt help you and the ONLINE CLASS is all essay DONT TAKE!
Even if he is a good teacher, I only saw him 3 times out of the hole semester for his so called help sessions. If you work well by yourself take him and you will get by easy. But if you want a teacher that teaches don't take him.
What are you fools thinking when you write your comments? Due to university cutbacks, walker is resposible for hundreds of students. He cannot possibly be in every class he is assigned to teach, its not physically possibly. Thats why he has TAs teach
No Comments
He thinks he has the right to flunk people for the entire class for getting a 69% on a quiz and a B overall. Last I checked, that was still a passing grade! Maybe people would do better in this class if he ever showed up. What does this guy get paid for&#
No Comments
Do not take the lecture/lab setup b/c there really isn't a lecture! It's an indepedent study class! You'll see Walker maybe 3x during the course. He doesn't give you a review for tests and you HAVE to read your book to pass.
All you have to do to get an A is read your lecture notes and study the online textbook quizzes the night before.
This class is easy as long as you read and do the homework.
This is a really difficult class. I wouldn't take another class from him.
terrible
This guy is stuck on himself. He knows a lot of background in the subject, but is so arrogant that it makes you not want to learn the material. Just FYI.. some of your stories are offensive and disclaimers don't make it ok to tell it anyway!
I loved the set-up and only having to come to class once/week. This class cuts out all the boring lectures that you're forced to sit through in a traditional class. Tests and assignments are easy - the TA tells you exactly what will be on the test.
all u have to do is read the lecture notes for the quizzes you have with ta. you work with a partner for all assignments that are super easy. and to get a good grade on test read and remeber lecture notes and power points&go over terms ta gives b4 test
A lot of reading where the readings are interesting but the prof is not very friendly....he acted to be a nice guy but he is not!! Overall the class is ok....not as great as I had heard from others.
never actually saw walker in class, but the TA was awesome. class once a week, easy assignments, tests arent too hard as long as you review lecture notes and powerpoints. fun and interesting class.
He shouldn't even have his name on here. It should say "Melissa Elliott" and in that case...she was awesome! She was helpful and made class fun.
When I took it, you go to class on Wed. and just go in on Mondays for help and to take tests. The class is very interesting and the tests aren't too bad but get worse as the semester progresses. The TA doesn't lecture a lot in class but we do projects. Just read the chapters, lectures, powerpoints.
Graduate class I actually learned in. Very knowledgeable. LOTS of hard work and time put into class, but if you work as hard as he does for the class, you're fine.

Very easy material to learn. Presents the info in a clear easy to understand way. Read powerpoints and lecture notes. Very helpful if you ask him for help.
This class meets once a week. You have an assignment due almost every week, but they are usually easy and dont take a lot of time. There are always lecture notes and power points for each section. If you read these you should pass the test. Must get a 70% to pass tests. Walker doesnt teach his TA does. Interesting and fun get to know other students
EASY! You get two chances to get a C on a quiz. And all you have to do is show up for the final to pass the course. Projects are all or nothing, so turn it in and your fine. No reasn you cant get a B with minimal effort.
Easy class and great if you don't want to learn, - you get two chances on each exam and the assignments are easy - only one hour a week for a two hour course
Horrible guy, and an awful TA. The don't help you out at all. They are selfish, vindictive people. I would say to definitely avoid Walker and his TA's.
EASY! I highly recommend this class. It only meets one time a week unless you have a test. The format may seem scary at first but actually it works out very well. You study material on your own time and don't have to sit through a boring class. Dr. Walker isn't in class much but the TA was awesome. No reason you shouldn't get at least a B.
This class is a very good class for young businesspersons out there. You will learn a lot, and will work hard, but grad students shouldn't have EXTREME trouble with him. Unless you're an idiot.
This teachers SUCKS!!!!!!! He will fail you if you fail one test. Then tells you that you can still show up and turn in work but it wont be graded and that is how he fails you. Also he dosent even teach you his stupid teachers assistant does. I got suspended b/c of he failed me!
This class is way different, but i loved it. You have one class once a week and like 4 tests. The catch is you have to get at least a 70% on every test, or you fail the class. You get one chance to retake each test before they fail you. Trust me, it's not as hard as it sounds- i found it really easy.
If you read the notes, book, and powerpoints you will do fine. You have to kind of teach yourself the material. you never really learn anything in the class room. you have yourself to rely on for knowing the material.
Lectures go on & on. Not required to go at all. Read the book and look over powerpoints. Tests arent too hard but not that easy. PBAs- know guide to look at at all. You have to ASK him to get what he actually wants from you. Great guy in general.
Self loathing man who probably believes he is God. Seriously spent the entire semester telling students that they should value and worship customers, then followed that with telling the class that the reason he lives in St. Joe is to avoid seeing students outside of NW. Also, complained that is was too much work to spend 7hrs a week in his office
Walker is not helpful when you go to him for re-explanation of topics. He is very judgmental of you and is somewhat biased towards certain students. Overall an average professor who does not seem to be passionate for what he is doing.
Cocky guy. Lectures always go to the time limit. Participate in class and take down the notes he puts up.
Best teacher I have had at NW, while lectures do go the whole time, he kept me interested. Gave real world examples of topics. Class consisted of 3 or 4 tests, 2 group projects, and one small assignment. You will be fine if you put in effort as some people didnt and their grade reflected that
He teaches off of power points that are very confusing and is very arrogant...I understand u make 85k a year but your ego hinders you from helping students succeed.
HORRIBLE! His tests are super hard, he doesn't have a review for what will be on the test and hardly has any assignments to get more points. He is very judgmental to students who answer his questions and then basically tells them they are wrong if they are not his exact words. Dry personality & doesn't care about anyone but himself. DO NOT TAKE!
It's a HARD class
He is the best teacher in NW, his class is very intersting.
He's very full of himself,half the time what he talks about is completely useless. His test are worded poorly and if you question one of his statements in class he will either change the subject or try and make you sound stupid. He grades papers off his opinion and there's not even a rubric, good luck on his tests. He's simply not a good teacher
Worse class I've taken out of 5 semesters of classes. Cocky, mean, and expects you to understandalready know what he is going to lecture about. Papers aren't that easy, he doesn't tell you what he wants by any means.
Dr. Walker was genuinely interested in students advancing their knowledge. He does not use a textbook but rather case assignments, articles, and written lectures. His class makes sense. Yes you have to read. Yes it is a lot of reading. But it is not dry like a typical textbook - he's humorous and the articles he uses stick with you.
There was a very limited amount of points. 4 tests, 2 assignments, and a TD grade. Discussions were too much to be convenient and did not really tie into what was on tests. The tests were worded terribly, he would never really give points for essays in the test. The tests were not enough time. The tests were usually over 100+ pages of content.
Go to class or else you will not do well. His tests mostly come from class and his test are all multiple choice. Go to class and take solid notes. He does not take attendance.
Walker is not as bad as you think. Go to class and you should be able to get at least a B. Says you need to read the book, but just memorize the online practice quizzes (that cover the book) and you will do fine. Walker cares about you, but can come across as arrogant.
His lecture note are just pointlessly LONG and off-topic.... Same w/ the threaded discussions. If U go to his office, his won't give U a clear answer. It's so dumb. U only get graded on: 4 exams, 2/4 assignments, and a threaded discussion grade.. U won't kno the TD grade until the END!! So be sure to participate... Exams are random and unfair. Rude
Took Walker for Principles of Marketing. On the first day, he will try to scare you out of the class, but past that first day, he's a great guy and loves what he does. Class was made up of 3 tests worth 100 each and 3 group projects worth 50 each. You HAVE to do them in groups, so make friends. Tests come from the book/lecture, so show up to class
Walker is a G. If you show up to class you'll pass. Not a lot to be graded on, but if you pay attention to lectures and show up you will be fine. Loves what he's doing keeps you involved. Haven't opened the book all year just look at the quizzes online. 99% of the test comes from his lecture.
Super intelligent man! However, he bases his lectures/what he does on the fact of if it isn't going to be like this in the real world- he will not do it. In his lectures, he just talks. No visuals, I had a hard time because he bases everything off of stories and then for the tests you have to hope you interpret how he believes it to be on his test.
The class focuses on customer satisfaction. NWMSU used an "academic coach" from Instructional Connections meaning Dr. Walker interacted with exactly 0 of us in the course. The material is far outdated and the coach was awful and not helpful. Busy work but no real learning. Poor representation for NWMSU.
ANTI MASKER, dropped class soon after first class started.
DO NOT TAKE HIM!! its like he wants you to fail.. not an understanding person at all and thinks VERY highly of HIMSELF!! Yelled at me infront of the whole class
Dr. Walker is a great professor, his tests are almost all lecture so if youre good at taking notes youll be fine. I recommend checking your assignments with him before submitting them, and hell tell you exactly what to do to get an A.
I zoned out a lot during his lectures which hurts because his exams are based on material covered in class. Overall it wasn't too difficult but I recommend going to class as much as possible and taking detailed notes. A few group papers and assignments but did not require too much effort.
He is the best professor in NWMSU PERIOD. I dont care what the other students say. He knows what he is talking about. He loves his profession. One word - BEST.
