His class is OK, classes are boring but test aren't hard. He gives test questions prior to the test.
He is a MUST take! Gives you the about 20-30 Q's for exam. Exams only have 50 Q's. Gives 15 points extra credit for attendance! Super easy project for MAR 4613, and no project for 3025
Is not a hard teacher and if you show interest in the class, he will give you 15 extra points. Tests are easy, 20 questions are given prior to the test, the only bad thing is that the class is boring.
very easy class, easy A, but a little boring.
what can i say, he gives 20 of the 50 exam questions before the exam!
Not a hard class but a VERY BORING teacher. You don't really need to go to class just on the days he gives you the questions that are going to be on the test and on test days.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! He is very helpful, reviews are great, wont add tricky questions & very straightforward.
BORING, BORING, BORING... only 3 words that describe his class. He's awfull, but does give you 20 out of 50 questions before the exam; however, he's a pain in the neck... He seems as if he can't stand students; specially the ones who want to do good in class. All in all, try NOT to get him... you might not like marketing afterwards....
Never went to class...<br>I got an A...<br><Gives 25/50 questions before test<br>Get a pillow...<br>Easy class<br>Really really easy.
took HYBRID CLASS RECOMMENDED!! GAVE US HALF OF THE QUESTIONS FROM THE TEST! VERY NICE MAN...
EXTREMELY EASY. GIVES U HALF OF THE QUES TO THE TEST. TOOK THIS CLASS FOR SUMMER A. I RECOMMEND!
very good professor and for exams it have 50 Q but he give you in advance 25 to do
This guy is an easy A. His lectures can be very boring. However, he gives 25 questions from the actual exam beforehand so you have a for sure 50% cance of passing. The other 50% you just have to read from the book what he tells you to read. I got a B and i didn't even work that hard at all.
No Comments
Not the best teacher for a Marketing major. You would prefer a more discerning professor. But if you're not into marketing, he is your man. Half of the questions given in numerical order is pretty hard to beat.
Great professor. Easy tests. He gives a review, which is 25 questions that are on the REAL exam so if you get the right answer for that review, you already have 50% of the test right:)
Great professor. Easy tests. He gives a review, which is 25 questions that are on the REAL exam so if you get the right answer for that review, you already have 50% of the test right:)
He is awesome!!! Easy and helpful...he gives half of the questions for the test before-hand and they appear on the test exactly the same. I highly recommend him if you want an easy A.
easy professor, easy class. don't even buy the book, just study the practice questions for the exams
There are 3 exams and 3 assignments. He gives you 25 of the 50 questions for each exam. If you read the summaries for each chapter you will be fine and don't have to read the whole chapter. He gives 3 really easy assignments which if you look at the syllabus he kinda actually counts as extra credit, cause each exam is worth 33.3% I recommend!
He gives you 25 review questions for the exam that will definitely be on the test! Very helpful, I highly recommend him =)
I GOT AN A IN THIS CLASS AND NEVER READ ONE CHAPTER OF THE BOOK. HE GIVES 25/50 EXAM QUESTIONS BEFORE HAND, YOU JUST FIGUE OUT THE REST WHICH ARE NOT TOO HARD. 3 HW FOR 15 EXTRA PONTS!!! EASY A
PREPARE TO SLEEP IN CLASS!!!
If you are a marketing major or even minor..STAY AWAY FROM THIS CLASS!! Yes, all the comments about it being super easy, easy A, getting 25 questions prior to exams, etc are true but this class is useless. I never even really read the book and got way above average on my exams. I don't even truly know what marketing really is! HE TEACHES NOTHING!
If you are not a Marketing major, I recommend you take it with him. You really don't have to go to class and it is an easy A. If you want to learn about the subject take it with another professor.
I took his class, it was only 1 day a week, & attendance is not required. We only had three exams. He gives 25 questions that would be on the exam, the other half you just have to figure out, but it isn't hard at all. You can just show up for test days if you have a good study buddy.
This class is SUPER easy. Gives 3 exams and gives 25 of the 50 questions before. He doesn't take attendance but give up to 15 bonus points for participation. You can skip class, get the review question, study and still get your A. If you're a marketing major and actually want to learn then take another prof. All others, fight for Goodrich.
great teacher, if u need an easy class u better take this with him. there are other profrssors which make you do all typesof projects for this course, he doesnt, andddd HE REALLY GIVES YOU 25 OUT OF 50 QUESTIONS FOR EACH ONE OF HIS TESTS, YOU HAVE TO BE RETARDED TO FAIL.
This professor is easy going,not hard at all and doesnt ask much at all. You do need the textbook and you dont have to go to class all the time.
He doesn't ask for much, but show up to class. U really dun have to, but his class gets full quicker den a jay-z concert! He gives u 25 out of 50 questions from the test, & no HW is given. Even though its ez u can still easily fail if u dun even try, so its best to get a friend that u can study with. Great class & very ez.
He's an awsome prof. He's very nice and likes to talk about Jamacia. Everyone says he's super easy. Thats not the case, he just is a great teacher. If you attend class, you will learn a lot & do well on the tests. He does give 1/2 the questions before the test & at the end if you talk a lot you can get up to 15 bonus points for basically nothing!
Excellent class. Attendance not mandatory and participation either however, if you attend and participate he gives you 15 points come one guys thats an A. For slackers like me he will only give you 6 xtra points easy class.
Easy class. Great Professor! 3 / 50 questions exams and he gives you 25 out of the 50 questions the class before each exam. Just go to class, read the chapter, and you get an A. If you go to class and you actually listen to him, you'll learn a lot! the guy knows his stuff!!! he's funny and tell interesting stories.100%recommend
Attend class the day before exam. Read the chapters, especially the terms, definitions, and summary at end of chapter. Complete 25 questions ASAP, and review them. Class was a waste of time. Professor can't teach. You will learn more from the book. If you are a Mkting Major, take somebody else. If you want an easy A, take Goodrich.
Read the chapters, especially the definitions. He will give you 25 questions the day before the exam. Professor can't teach and will give you extra credit for participation so speak in class. If this is your first marketing course take it with him and you will get an A, but you have to study.
I took his class b/c I'm a finance major, and i heard that he was really easy. But if you are a Marketing major do yourself a favor and find someone else b/c your not going to learn anything. He gives out half of the question to each exam a week before the test, and gives u 15 extra credit points for asking questions. In other words you cant fail
The professor bases his lectures out of textbook, but you must still attend class because he gives you 25 questions that will be on exam and also bonus pts for coming to class. There is three exams 50 questions each. Easy class if you go to class and read the chapters.
easy class, 3 tests, he gives 25 questions out of the 50 that go to the test. lectures are out of the book
Just finish taking this guy. Beware his highest test score was 90 and highest research paper was 88. Just because he gives 25 questions before the test doesnt mean your going to pass. Marketing Research class is terrible beware and be careful. He might seem easy but hes not take my word I am straight A student and probably earning an B- OR C+
AVOID AT ALL COST. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GET ANOTHER BETTER TEACHER. AS THE POST BELOW ME SAID THERE WAS ONLY ONE A IN HIS FIRST EXAM. HE MIGHT BE LEANER WITH HIS LOWER MARKETING CLASS BUT WITH MARKETING RESEARCH I WOULD HIGHLY RECCOMEND ANOTHER PROFESSOR DONT RISK YOUR GRADE.
Easy sorta, but the exams themselves are hard.Professor does not teach you will not learn anything!Class is such a waste. only point for going is for participation point. Lectures useless. F
Insensitive, unapproachable, too rigid - poor traits of a good professor! Only worth going to earn your participation point but you must participate if not going to end up with 2 bonus pointse.Exams are way tooooooooooooo hard eventhough,he gives 25 questions ahead of time you are mostlike not going to end up with the right answer.
He tried to get students interested. He was nice. His lectures were boring at times, but he went over what would be on tests. I suggest sitting in the front and participating, if he sees that you are there for classes and talk he gives you up to 15 participation points.He gives 25 of the 50 questions on the test. A lot of reading, but easy class.
he needs some life to him. hes not a bad guy and he means well but his lectures are useless and exams are unpredictable.
THIS PROFESSOR IS HORRIBLE. STAY AWAY FROM HIM. IF YOU WANT TO TAKE THE CLASS BECAUSE OF THE REVIEW LIKE I DID FORGET ABOUT THE REVIEW. HE IS THE WORST PROFESSOR I EVER HAD.
I thought the professor was extremely nice and tried his best to help everyone out and not make it a hard class. it is worth taking, just read your book and if you come to class he sometimes tells you which things are going to be on the exams. TAKE HIM YOU WILL NOT REGRET.
SUPER EASY! Take him, you wont regret it. The only bad thing is some mandatory certificate test at the end of the semester, but just study for that one and you will do marvelous. Make sure your friends with someone who has the book.
his tests are pretty easy as long as you do the study guide he gives out and study the chapters a bit. however there is a certification exam which is a pain! you're on your own for that one. and he's not too helpful, does not answer back to emails. class is boring and a waste of time.
This guy needs to retire ASAP. He is extremely rude, arrogant, & DISRESPECTFUL to students. UNFAIR Grader & IMPOSSIBLE Exams. He gives u half of the exam but it is pointless to use the book to help u answer them. Make sure u participate in his retarded current event discussions for extra points at the end (TRUST ME, U'LL NEED ÉM)
HORRIBLE TEACHER/PERSON. Tried to embarrass me in front of the whole class. Hard exams. tries to be strict but he is ALWAYS late. what a hypocrite!!! Speaks very low and unclear. I recommend YOU highly AVOID HIM!
I agree w. the comments below. Just because u r strict does NOT mean u have to be UNFAIR, PRETENTIOUS, & IMPOLITE. I just don't understand how can someone w. a PHD. who supposedly has further studied the field lack BASIC communication/teaching skills. I'm glad there r other profs who have & can inspire me to continue w. my studies b/c this GUY SUCK
He is not that bad.
Easy class. Don't take this class if you are a Marketing Major, it's very boring. I got an A though.
Class is boring and he teaches straight from the text book. But he is a good teacher none-the-less, once you study you will definitely get an A.
This class is horrible. Not a marketing major, took this for fun. It was a waste of tuition. It ruined my GPA because I got a B-. My main reason for disliking this class is Peter ****son a guest lecturer for marketing accounting metrics. Don't put yourself through this if you don't have to. Yes he does give 1/2 the questions in advance.
I had this professor for spring 09 and I must say he has been by far the worst professor I have every had my entire FIU career. He has a monotone voice and exams are very hard and unpredictable. Stay away from Marketing Research and eventhough I earned a B- it was such a useless class he is such a waste of time but you will need the bunus points...
I took this class in Spring 2008 and i pass the class with a "B". But i can tell you that he doesnt give good lectures. Study the 50 questions paper he give you and read the book.Also if you can find someone in the class to study with great.
I've taken about 6 online classes and I've never had a problem. This was the WORSE online class I have ever taken! He is unhelpful and uncooperative. He never answers your questions through email. Quizzes/tests are worded so difficult that it made getting a good grade on what would seem an easy subject impossible. DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!
Nice professor, but boring class. He spends more time talking about current events than the actual lecture. He gives participation points, no extra credits. He is willing to help, but midterm and final are hard because they included too much info.
Do not take this professor online. He NEVER!!! anwers back to anything you post or emails. not helpful at all and quizes are rediculous!!! I would not recommend him to anyone. HORRIBLE professor!!
AWEFUL PROFESSOR!!! stay away! NEVER NEVER writes back to students...im still waiting for a reply i wrote 3 weeks ago. Tests are totally rediculous! 4 chapters and 50 questions and given 80 min. do not take!
Not a good lecturer, tells boring stories. Gives a group presentation and a group paper which always ends up in a disaster. The only bright spot is that he gives you 25 out of 50 questions before the midterm and final. He is also a grammar perfectionist, so be careful when you write your paper. I do not recommend taking any class with him.
Not in constant communication with students, extremely strict on missed quiz dates. Quizzes are like tests very long and pretty hard. Take him as last resort.
Not an easy class but if study, will perform well; Professor does not communicate effectively with students, does not reply to emails promptly (if at all); be sure to copy the quiz when it's available to review - to use as a study guide ( will not have future access to quiz once the available period has closed)
Class has potential to be fun, but he makes it boring and useless. Theres a group presentation and paper which he will grade harshly (nobody got an A on it) and his test questions usually don't make sense. ON the bright side the review of 25 questions will be on the test.
I took this class online and i dropped it( too many questions per test and not enough time), i am taking again with the same prof and i am liking it better...3 Exams 50 questions each (25 are given)+Particioation points :)
Not too bad of a class. He spends a little too much time talking about sports, but other than that, he gets to the point, and teaches well. Read the book, do the recommended questions at the end of the chapters, and take the on-line (publisher's) quizes, and you should do fine. Overall good experience.
Interesting class, shame that Instructor is not what I expected. Quizes covered 4 chapters (some with most insignificant questions ever instead of important concepts just to see if you read the book. Midterm and Final Exams covered 10 chapters each. Lack of responsiveness from professor. I would never recommend this Instructor to anyone.
Great Professor! Very fair. Highly recommed him. 3 Exams, only have to do one study for extra credit (20 points). If you attend class and participate (must participate to get all points) you get another 15 points extra-credit. The professor takes you three exam scores + the extra 35 points and divides by 3. Must read and attend classes - easy A.
Took his class online, he doesn't communicate with students, takes long to reply to emails, and not clear on them. He leaves the learning up to the student as he is not involve in the lecture at all. Must read all pages of the book if want to pass the class.
He is very knowledgeable in his area, but he is extremely monotone. He does nothing really to captivate your attention for the 3 hours of class...The 3 tests are just a test on the vocabulary pretty much. He gives you half of the questions from the test as a "review" before the test...Easy class, but don't expect much from the lectures
Good professor. You HAVE to participate, otherwise the class will be boring. Just read the book, go to the reviews, and you'll get the A.
DO NOT TAKE HIS ONLINE CLASS. HAVE TO READ ENTIRE BOOK TO PASS. LONG QUIZZES WITH INSIGNIFICANT QUESTIONS ON CONCEPTS JUST TO SEE IF YOU READ THE BOOK. HIS EMAIL RESPONSES ARE VERY SHORT 3 TO 4 WORDS, NOT HELPFUL AT ALL. DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ONLINE STUDENTS. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND CHOSE A DIFFERENT PROFESSOR.
His online class was horrible:( Quizzes were super long and they were literarly sentences taken from the textbook, so you need to know where things are exactly before taking quizzes. Exams were super long and based on 10 chapters, which is crazy! I dont recommend his on-line class. I passed, but please dont take his online class, it was horrible!!!
TAKE this class for summer. you only have to put up with him 6 weeks. the class has 3 exams of 50 questions and he gives reviews for 2 but on the third he screws you over with no review. hes really lazy therefore the reason the class is easy. took this class with another and the other class was harder so i was thankful this one wasnt as hard.
He is the worst professor ever. His lectures are boring and they have nothing to do with his exams. Yeah he give you 25 of the 50 questions for the first 2 exams but the rest is incredibly hard. He is not a fair professor AT ALL He talks mostly about the heat and then expects you to get the questions in his exams. I passed with A, but he sucks.
I took this class online to complete my minor in Business. The professor never responds to emails on time. By the time I got an answer it was too late. On top of that he is very rude and disrespectful, what a shame! Good thing that in IT we do not have this kind of professors.
I don't understand how this guy is still a professor for this course. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
He's not enthusiastic at all - definitely not meant to teach an online course. There were no discussions for us to participate, and he never engaged us. I don't recommend him if you're really excited about Marketing.
Professor does is not there for the students at all. Only cares about the easiness of his automated job with online classes. This professor does not care about you what-so-ever. He is not here to help or assist you in any way. The worst professor that I have ever had.
I can't believe FIU would employ such a terrible teacher. Jonathan Goodrich does not respect his students at all. He is very unprofessional. He will insult you in emails. Worst online class I have ever taken. He is slow to respond to emails even though this is pretty much his only job for the online course. Goodrich should not be employed.
Save your money and your time. This teacher does not teach. You teach yourself, you take the automated exams, and he does nothing. This teacher has one job, to return emails from his students. Good luck hearing back from him. Unpleasant experience.
worst class ever
Not too friendly and not lenient towards life circumstances. No consideration from the beginning of the term until the end. It's like talking to a brick wall.
Worst class ever. The professor will not be involved at all. Take the exams on time. He will not re-open for any reason at all. There are no exceptions for any late work. You will get a zero.
Took this class online. Very straight forward! 4 Quizzes and 1 Midterm & 1 Final. Quizzes are 50 Qs straight from his E-Book (which is mandatory if you wana pass). MidtermFinal are 100 Qs. Gives you PLENTY of time to take the exams (if you know what i mean). Everything is from the E-Book. He sends email reminders for each testquiz.
Professor Goodrich is clearly knowledgeable on this subject, and he genuinely enjoys talking about it, too. He highly encourages his students to engage in class discussions, which is always a good thing. And most importantly, he is a great guy. However, he does not know how to teach properly. To pass, you must read the book and study before exams.
NO HW OR QUIZZES TO TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE. ONLY TEST GRADES FOR YOUR AVERAGE. ASSIGNS CHAPTER TO READ BUT TEST ARE NOT ON WHAT YOU READ. USES COURSEHERO,QUIZLET, AND STUDYBLUE FOR TEST BANKS.
The entire class is based on 4 quizzes, a midterm, and a final. They are easy if you read the book but they are just really long and take time. He does not really interact with the students but if you read, you will be fine
He's okay. Doesn't really thoroughly go over the chapters in the book, so you have to be prepared to read yourself. He's not a bad guy, but his method of teaching isn't really well either. Just read all you can. He offers 2 reviews, each with 25 questions for the summer term. Class grade based on 2 exams (1st exam chap. 1-7) (2nd exam Chap. 8-15).
Dont take him... Hes boring and his lectures dont make any sense. He will talk about the subject but nothing in detail or even worthy enough to take notes down. If you read the chapter and study the review questions youll pass with a solid B-, but he is a horrible lecturer.
One of the worst professors at FIU. He is boring and his lectures go no where. He does not answer emails, he is not helpful at all. Tests are not that difficult, but they can be very specific at times.
He is horrible. Not a prefessor i can recommend. Boring 3 hr lecture class. Read d text book yourself if u want to pass. 90 percent what he talks is irrelevant. Glad marketing is not my major
I would not recommend ANYONE to take this class with this professor. Get ready to sit through a 3 hour long pointless lecture. He spends half the class talking about irrelevant things. And his voice OMG so monotone and boring!! He gives points for participating, yet he doesn't really produce an environment where id like to participate in.
I've had some lackluster professors here at FIU but Goodrich takes the cake. WORST professor I have ever had. You can tell he has no interest in teaching or marketing and it comes through in his lectures. He mumbles through a three hour lecture about irrelevant information that has nothing to do with the tests. Tests are difficult and too specific.
Doesn't teach or give any indication of what will be in exams. Horrible
Not sure what everyone complains about, professor Goodrich is old school and expects you to read/go over the chapters for the test but is mostly focused on you learning the correct terms. Pretty easy tests and if you enjoy business this class explains a lot. Also do the extra credit if you need to it legit one online survey for 10 points.
Absolutely the worst professor Ive had. Does not teach at all. Students are required to read two chapters of the textbook each week. Exams are 7 or more chapters (which he made us take right after Irma).There is no homework. There is no study guide. He goes over terms with a very monotone voice and uncaring attitude. There is the extra credit.
By far the worst professor at fiu. Beware. He will never respond to your emails. He will never respond to your blackboard messages. His modules do not explain anything thats on the tests or exams. The man simply does not care about your future. He will rurn an A student into a C student, soley based on his incompetence and lack of teaching skills.
I didn't mind this professor for an online class. I liked that we didn't have many assignments, but I was disappointed in the one project we had to do. Did not offer any feedback and I went from Acing every quiz and exam to receiving a C on the project with no explanation why. Overall, not a bad class.
Avoid this professor at all costs! There is absolutely no educational value in his lectures at all, He has no lesson plan! His exams cover 7+ chapters and consist of questions which cover material he does not teach. This professor spends more time rambling about coca-cola and nike than he does covering the theories behind marketing.
