Its a shame he is the only one who teaches this class. Unless you know someone with the back tests, you might as well drop. But if you're a business major you have no choice but to take this class so you might as well find someone with the back tests.

This teacher is one of the worst. It's all lecture and no participation. You better learn how to take notes. Tests, well they require a lot of studying and having back tests. Even with the back tests, you still can barely get a half decent grade.

Backtests are a MUST to get through the vocab and make sure you know all the math! Final do your best,its never right(work in groups)but itll get you by with a B or C(I got a B). Real jerk though!

It's so BROAD and 1 thing can mean another. Final is accumul8ive in that it req.s every concept U learned in prev cases. He won't help U either. LECS are Powerpoints slides.

Stay away from his other sections notes or other peoples notes for the memos. He accuses students of cheating/copying if your spreadsheet looks anything like his. ie: same headings - same layout. Must give him credit if you use his spreadsheet as an example - then you will not get credit for the memo.

BACK TESTS are tests that people have previously taken for this MKT course. They barely help considering the questions change every year. If you're lucky, they'll bump u up a bit..but not a lot. Just do well in the verbal part of his exams and get half of the math section and you should pass..My advice: sit next to those who score A grades on tests

Not AS bad as I thought. Class/ lectures where pretty bad though, teaches from dated powerpoints and won't pick up a piece of chalk to teach you the math which made this class tougher than it could have been. I passed and he wont fail you if you try. However encourages questions, but will put you down when you do ask so I dont get that.
