This class is amazing and should be mandatory for each student in the BComm program ESPECIALLY for Marketing majors. I have never enjoyed the structure of a class as much as I do with this one. It is clear and extremely informative. It has made me want to pursue this post-grad!! I look forward to EACH class and wish there were more in the week tbh.
Guest lectures almost every week which makes the course load easier to handle than most classes. Lots of hands on learning for many facets of digital marketing
such a great professor, and I hope we have the opportunity to have him again in future courses! amazing content, engaging lectures, clearly cares about his students. would even take this class again if I could. thanks for everything!
Jonathan was a great first time prof; the assignment throughout the semester was awesome and guest speakers are nice. A lot of applicable skills were learned. Assignment/midterm related with what was learnt in the class and wasn't awfully difficult. Would recommend He also has soundcloud, shout out #tearz
This guy is a full-on beauty! Great course and very relevant to the business marketing world today!
On top of really knowing his stuff, he's an awesome guy and has put in a ton of work to help get this course up and running. Guests every week from the marketing industry. Classes aren't mandatory but they're really interesting and I would recommend going.
One assignment every two weeks on average, where you put into practice what you have seen in class before.
Jon was the perfect prof to teach this class, he was thorough yet concise with his lectures and taught us the stuff we would need to know in w career in digital marketing. We got hooked up with free websites for life (with PageCloud) and he did a great job to get us caring about our personal brand & helping us get a job when we're done our degrees
Great class if you are creative and like to build a personal website with PageCloud. There are 5 assignments for your website wich add up to 50% of your grade. The assignments are long but not difficult and you'll have 2 weeks per assignment. Only downside, he doesn't answer to emails frequently (or at all). Better ask him stuff in person!
This class was really amazing, I would highly recommend this class to anyone interested in business, specifically marketing majors. Professor Simon was captivating, funny, and overall a great first time prof. He was a very fair marker and the really makes you want and excited to go to class.
Anybody who is interested in marketing should def. take this course. I really enjoyed it especially all the guest lecturers and the way jonathan is preparing you on your future career
I loved this class, Jon just made it better! You will want to go to class and enjoy it. Building a website was super fun and having guest from companies to network with was a bonus. 100% recommend taking it with him!!
If you're a marketing major, take this course. Honestly, if you have a free elective in any field of Study take his course. All lectures were relevant to todays marketing field and always engaging. Guest lecturers weekly, to give their perspectives in the field. Awesome course.
In my 4 years at Telfer, I can honestly say no course or professor compares to this combo. This course should honestly be mandatory for all Marketing students, if not BComm. students. Professor Simon did an amazing job at keeping the course interesting and actually making you WANT to go to every lecture. He really knows his stuff. Amazing prof.
Jonathan is fantastic! Definitely your modern prof; go to class cause there's no textbook and half the lectures are from business professionals - whether it's Jonathan or the guest it's always engaging! Mostly assignment based around your PageCloud website and Medium blogging account to build your personal brand. What every business student needs!
Jonathan inspired me to pursue a career in digital marketing. I have been studying marketing since highschool, but never really known where to take it. Take this course. Go to class. You will not regret any second of it. Just amazing!
Super spicy prof, Jonathan is a great lecturer and is très easy on the eyes ;)))
AMAZING professor, if you leave telfer without taking this class its a real shame.
Very highly recommend this class for B. Commerce or anyone looking for an elective. We had a term long project to create a personal branding website which counted for half of the final grade. Would definitely take another course with Professor Simon.
Jonathan brings a huge knowledge and experience to the course, he encourages questions and participation. His final take-home exam is a great practice to implement what you understood from the course. I would suggest inviting speakers during the lectures, showing some youtube videos and make a debate in class instead of a project.
Jonathan Simon is a really an apt person to learn content marketing from. His style of explanation is filled with humour and current trends on social media. It has an interesting take on how marketing is done online and how it can be improved. The prof gives realtime examples and presents the SEO tools while he is working with them. Overall
Good prof knows what he's talking about.
Jonathan Simon is a everything you'd hope to have in an educator and mentor - he is knowledgeable, a great communicator, and immensely passionate about what he does. It really shows, and it helps to ignite the curiosity within myself to learn more! I only wish that this course was longer, it's a shame to have such a great topic covered in 6 weeks!
He is a truly competent prof that cares about his students. He keeps it simple and want to give you the best opportunities.
Jonathan Simon is a great prof! He is available outside of class, gives personal advice and takes time to talk with you if you need it. The attendance is not mandatory but there are a lot of professional interventions so it's a bonus for us to attend classes! No book needed but involvement needed! Great class!
I recommend Professor Simon to any student wanting to take his class. He is exceptional!!!! His class is engaging and gives you real-life experience.
Really awesome class with a knowledgeable and helpful professor! Will always be willing to help you out and gives constructive feedback to help you do better. Highly recommend taking this class!
Amazing prof!! Passionate about the subject and that conveyed through lectures. Super responsive to emails and questions in class. Assignments were clear but gave us enough room to be creative. Definitely one of the best Telfer courses and profs. Bonus that there is no textbook too.
Best part is that he actually cares about his students! There were guest lectures almost every week and the lectures are NOT boring. You get to meet professionals and all the material you learn in class is shown to actually be used in the real world. The assignments are fun and you can continue to use your website and blog page in the future!
Definitely my favourite class so far. As a marketing major I really found value in his lecture and organization style, guest speakers, and assignments. Really engaged with his students and always very approachable, helped me to really see why building my brand digitally is so important. Highly recommend him!
Totally recommend any one that needs an ADM elective to take ADM4326 with Jonathan Simon! First time taking a class that is beneficial for your future and career, you get to build your own personal website, and other following assignments that help grow your personal website by making blogs, etc. BONUS: you get pagecloud and hoot suite for free!
Amazing prof! Recommended for anyone in Marketing at the University of Ottawa.
Amazing professor, great class material... never boring with many important guest lecturers
Very nice and easy to talk to, answer every question you have.
He cares about what he teaches and he is passionate about helping his students. He also puts a lot of effort into teaching things that are relevant. He is an excellent prof.
Probably the best class I took in uOttawa. The professor is passionate about Digital Marketing, and he makes assignments enjoyable. I highly recommend the class!
Super passionate about digital and mobile marketing. The class assignment is really helpful (you get to build your own website). One of the best Telfer Profs and understands that students really only care about grades but also teaches actual helpful information about the digital marketing world...
He really cares about his job and he is really passionate about digital market. Even though I'm not really a fan of this topics, I found myself interested in them and enjoy the assignment. Great teacher.
Professor Simon takes a refreshing approach to teaching. Simon is aware that the market place is ever evolving, so he makes it a point to deliver engaging content that is relevant to today and tomorrow's business environment.
Easy to do well and will actually help you in real life. You get to apply the theory with the hands-on project. Course material stays up-to-date with the quick changing field, where some other courses tend to lag behind. Marketing is becoming increasingly digital and this really should be a mandatory for every marketing student.
the class is very interesting and practise oriented. No books and boring theory (but sometimes a bit more theory would have been helpful). The professor is very accessible, trying to provide good feedbacks. This a class where you will practise and so it is a plus
Awesome prof - course content is super useful and extremely fun .
Jon is such an incredible prof. hands down my fave prof in telfer. classes aren't mandatory but you will probably want to go because hes the best and so funny. he will help you and his project is actually fun.
Great prof! A lot of guest lecturers that are really interesting. The grading is clear and if you follow the assignment criteria you will do very well. A very funny guy, knows the subject and has a lot of real-life experience.
Great professor! Very interesting class. Every second lecture, he brings a guest speaker to emphasize on the subject discussed in class. A nice way to create connections and hear stories from the working world. Will have the opportunity to create your own website using PageCloud!
Jonathan is a great professor. His lectures are always interesting and he makes you feel like he is speaking to you and genuinely helping you rather than just lecturing. I've learned more from his class than I have in most of my Telfer classes. All around an amazing prof.
If your major is in marketing, this is undoubtedly the most relevant class you'll take in your 4 years at UOttawa. Jonathan discusses digital marketing concepts and relates them to his real world working experience, he also invites working professionals to speak in class almost every week. The main project includes creating a website.
Teaches an easy fourth-year course that's actually interesting and relevant to real life. The prof has tons of experience and is always interesting to listen to. Always trying to help the students as best he can.
Professor Simon is great! Pulls examples from his own career and clearly explains the concepts! Exams are relatively easy if you study the slides and attend class, but kinda long.
Term project is rewarding and precise. There's no surprises. I actually learned a lot from it. The midterm is fair, very content heavy but very logical at the same time. You can't go wrong with Professor Simon or his class!
Take the digital marketing class, the prof will invite lots of guest speaker to come and take a lecture about how to work with digital marketing well, which is useful to have a networking and feeling the actual case. This class only need to focus on the class note and the powerpoint, easy marker, remember the stuff will be helpful.
Nice professor, make the course interesting through his and his guests knowledge
The class was very applied. I learned things that I feel are essential for anyone in general, but particularly anyone in business who is looking to discover and market their personal brand. I now have a free website for life and know how to use it to my advantage. Awesome class, and Jonathan is well suited to teach it.
Jonathan is literally the best teacher at Telfer hands down. He is the best prof and is so knowledgable in Digital Marketing. He is so helpful but his lectures are very good you won't want to miss! midterm and final are both perfectly reflected from class material! LOVE HIM! you won't regret it!
He's really good at explaining and he gives really good examples too. He makes the class lively
He is quite nice. His lecture is material and well prepared. I have learnt many pragmatic skills in digital marketing, great
Great professor, knows his stuff and lectures are interesting.
Great prof, knows his stuff, really passionate about his projects. He is a practitioner who teaches you what's relevant for the profession. Highly recommended!
He is an interesting person teaching an interesting course.
His teaching is great, and making the class interesting. However he is a hard grader. Our final take home exam which is a case study. 10 pages long and worth 50% of total grade. I wrote 9 pages and only get 33/50. So I don't recommend people to take this class.
He is a good prof and know's his stuff
Jonathan is a G. Great lectures and material is USEFUL. If you don't take this course you played yourself!
great prof and great class! he teaches from experience, doesn't use a textbook, and cares about students futures in marketing. 10/10 would take again
He is a nice person who will answer your question when he noticed it. He will share many examples in class to help you understand. His exam is not as easy as he said.
Great class , and great informations . Jonathan Simon was the reason why I got my job in the digital Marketing career.
Great prof and super engaging! Teaches real life material that you're able to translate into the real world.
Jonathan is very charismatic and fun to be in his lecture. We have very fun and exciting guest speakers almost every week which is fun. Content is easy, the assignments are very easy, and plus you get to create your own website.
Great prof, interesting material. Exam reflects course slides. 10/10 would recommend.
One of the best profs I have ever had. Many solid oppurunties for jobs and you actually learn skills and tools that can be directly applied in your career if digital marketing interests you. Highly recomend taking this course with this prof.
Really great prof. Knowledgeable on the subject matter and brutally honest. Provides great networking opportunities with people in the industry through guest lectures, which could lead to prospective job opportunities and great insight.
Really cool, and great prof. You actually leran a lot about the work environment and gives you amazing tips for your future job.
Great professor! Down to earth and easy to understand. Assignments are tailored to practice actual techniques that are used in the real world of digital marketing. Would take again.
Jonathan Simon is a character to say the least, but he is very good at his job and very approachable. If youre truly interested in working in digital marketing after you graduate, I highly recommend taking this class! Prof is funny and well connected, if you create a good relationship with him, hell probably connect you with some professionals.
The professor is hilarious and the class is very engaging, however I felt that the guest lectures were a bit too much. The concepts that he teaches aren't very difficult to understand and are very practical. You also get the chance to build your own website and it's pretty cool. Would recommend this class for sure!
The professor was really great and always made class interesting. He was funny, engaging, and really know's what he is talking about. If you're looking to learn a lot about digital marketing this is definitely the class for you. I would recommend this class to any of my friends for sure.
Really cool dude. He is really down to earth and is genuinely interested in bettering the lives of his students. He constantly tries to get his students connected with employers and offers great career advice. He's a really refreshing prof to have as he's not all up-tight and macho but rather chill and connects to your on a personal level.
Absolutely loved this professor and the course itself! This was the most relevant course I've ever taken in my entire university career of 6 years. I knew since third year I wanted to go digital marketing, and this was the perfect class to really get involved. He genuinely wants students to succeed in his course and in their careers. Loved him!!
Best prof at the university of Ottawa hands down. Really down to earth, engaging and cares about his students success. When it comes to the class, I would recommend this class to every single person who is in Telfer. It might be a digital marketing class, but there are things that any person in business should know! 10/10 would recommend!
He's great
hes a really good prof. very casual and if you go to class and listen to him you'll get a good mark.
Hes a good prof, just take notes because his slides are basically pictures
Super useful class, great prof
Professor Simon is the most impactful prof and has the most meaningful course, based on my experiences at uOttawa. The course is tailored to students who genuinely want to create their own business after school or who want to create online/ social media for a company they work for. You will learn LOTS & network - making it applicable to your life!
huge beauty. great class.
I loved taking his class. he's an engaging, young professor and gets what the students are going through and are understanding of them. I cant recommend this class enough if you are planning a career in marketing. You will get to make your own website that you get to keep for life!!! cant recommend enough.
Professor Simon doe an excellent job at streamlining the learning process and helping students become digital marketing experts in a single semester. You get to design your own website with Pagecloud and create your own personal brand. You will learn the hard skills that you can put on your resume.
Hands down best professor I've ever had. Never in my 4 years of school did I look forward to a lecture like I did with Digital Marketing. If it wasn't for Jonathan, I wouldve definitely not enjoyed the course as much. YNWA Jonathan
Great prof !
The class in itself is a great idea, you get to learn things you've probably never been taught before about digital marketing, but the prof isn't as inspiring as many students say he is. He does have an intriguing background but thinks a bit too much of himself. He's good, not AMAZING. I 100% recommend the class though (you get your own website!)
The only Prof actually cares about you!!
Professor Jonathan is one of the realest professors in all of Telfer. He actually works outside of being a professor, so he is able to give real-life examples of how the industry works. He is also a very caring professor, so if you get on his good side and he remembers you, he will help you with your career after you graduate.
One of the most relatable profs. He does a great job and makes lectures interesting and engaging.
Hes a great prof and speaks to his experiences, some what easy exams and a fair marker, a genuine human being, tries to make sure you have all the tools needed to succeed in his class as well as in the future, definitely recommend digital marketing with him as its probably the most interesting class for Telfer students
Probably one of my favourite professors at the Telfer School of Management, he is very passionate about what he is teaching and it really shows. As a marketing student I think this course should be mandatory because it gives a quick intro to digital marketing. I wish I had more classes with a professor like Jonathan!
Super chill informal prof. I learned very useful content in this class and I think it should be mandatory for Marketing students. Easy A Most classes in 4th year as a marketing student have group work so it was nice to have all individual hand-ins for a change.
He was teaching for the joy of it. Examples always came from real-life experience. Highly recommended!
Good class, glad I took it
One of the best professors i've had. Didn't miss a single class and you shouldn't either. Every class is important!
Jonathan is a great prof! He is one of the few profs at Telfer who have real world experience, so you feel like you can actually apply what he teaches. His slides are kind of vague so you do have to attend class. I wish this course was a 2nd year course because it's so introductory, and then we could have higher level digital marketing courses.
Most useful class I've taken in Telfer. It allows you to apply what you learned through doing hands-on digital marketing - building your own personal brand. The class gives you an incredible opportunity to market yourself and have employers come to you, rather than the other way. Jonathan really cares about you and and is available for extra help.
He is the most real professor I have ever had. His slides are pretty empty though so make sure to go to class to get context and hints about the final.
Great prof! He helped me find a job in the field I wanted. Probably the most useful marketing class you can take.
I actually listened to him in class, so that's saying a lot already. A great class where you actually WILL take and learn something out of it. You get to be creative through self-expression, rare for telfer classes. Yes, you can showcase who you are through the assignments! Would absolutely take him again. You should too.
Jonathan Simon was by far one of the best profs I've had throughout my university career. He is absolutely hilarious and structures/teaches his class in a way that students can understand and relate to. 10/10 would recommend this class to anyone that has the opportunity to take it.
Most useful class by far in Telfer. The only bone I have to pick is that there is some inconsistency with how his TA marks and what the assignment outlines. The prof is really helpful if you have any questions and will make himself available to help you out.
Amazing prof with real world experience in digital marketing. He teaches you skills that you will be able to apply to your job in marketing. With COVID and classes going online, he uploaded a filmed version of his presentations and was super easy to follow along. He also is available to sit down with you if you have questions about your midterm.
I highly recommend the digital marketing class taught by Jonathan Simon. The course is really fun and the assignments give students the opportunity to create their own personal branding website. The course is straightforward and grading is fair. The professor is also really good at responding to student emails and cares about the students as well!
Great prof, assignments require a lot of work but it's worth it and they're very enjoyable. This is probably the only prof that knows of social media and is up to date with social media. Midterm was straightforward.
He finds guest speakers for everything. It really adds a lot!
Just a great person and teaching a very useful subject, would take another class by him again
Amazing prof!!! I would definitely take any of his classes again, teaches course material that is useful in real life and always makes the lectures interesting. Midterm was relatively easy if you paid attention in class. Great course and he's one of the coolest profs I've had!
The most caring Prof I have ever had. Really wants to see his students do well and will go out of his way to provide guidance, both about the course subject and beyond. His course is also very relevant - every student should take this.
Awesome professor. Loved the class and the way he teaches it. There were guest lectures every week which gave students the opportunity to network and broaden their knowledge of marketing in the business world. Would 100% recommend the class. If you follow instructions and are passionate about assignments you'll do well
I would take this course again or any course with Jonathan Simon in a heartbeat. Taking his course is a very rare opportunity to get real hands-on skills. He genuinely cares about the success of his student beyond just school. He regularly goes out of his way to provide feedback and advice to prepares students for graduation.
Prof. Simon is genuine and accommodating. Accessible outside of class, he goes above and beyond where possible to help you progress in your studies/career. This class is a MUST-TAKE in my opinion. Valuable skills/understanding that will aid you in whatever path you choose. Guest lecturers w special skills to provide new insightful perspectives.
A teacher very invested in these courses, who answers emails quickly to enlighten us. He is passionate and we feel it, it makes us want to learn. The subjects covered in class are very interesting as well as the homework. I learned a lot and I want to continue in digital marketing thanks to this course.
Really hands-on class that prepares you for the real business environment. Prof is also always available outside class to respond to the emails that students may have even if it is not related directly to the course. Good course overall but an even better professor!
Jonathan Simon is what makes THIS course the MOST wanted course to be taken by marketing majors at Telfer! The content that Jonathan provides for lectures is highly related to what employers want from applicants. Not to mention, being able to create your own website AND blog to add into your portfolio. Highly recommend this course!! I had a blast!!
What an amazing professor. The subject material is very applicable, and the guest lectures offer many opportunities for students. Professor Simon genuinely cares about his students and the class overall is awesome.
Honestly taking Digital Marketing with Professor Simon was the best choice of my university career, easily my favourite class. He teaches you real world skills that you can apply and use to leverage job opportunities and learn all the basics of digital marketing. The class was full but he let me in anyways because thats the type of person he is.
Great professor! I wouldn't say he's as inspirational as many say he is, but he definitely is one of the best professors I've had at Telfer. He cares a lot about his students and gives lectures that are actually useful. The assignments are pretty easy and fun to do as well!
AMAZING Prof!! He wants to see his students succeed. He goes above and beyond to make sure that the students leave his class knowing exactly how to get a job after the course. He is extremely inspirational. Everything is super easy to understand and honestly the best prof and class I have taken since coming to uni
Professor Simon is the best professor I ever had. By far my favourite class in uni. He keeps the course super up to date (unlike some other courses) and really cares about your learning. Grading is super fair, he's also very knowledgable and passionate about the subject and wants you to do well. Telfer should make him full time for their own sake!
Amazing, 10/10. Super high energy prof, despite the fact that this class was a night course. Responded to forced online world in COVID-19 really well, and answered any and all emails promptly with good information. I wish all courses were taught like his!
The only prof I actually respect at Telfer. I actually learned something useful from his course. Wow.
he is not what the reviews said, he always asks the students to come to this website and give him the reviews, so do not get fool with the positive reviews. he called it personal branding. He is gonna say that students will get A from this class but in reality, it is something else. BE CAREFUL
Jonathan is my favourite professor I've had so far! He is extremely knowledgeable and it makes his lectures much more interesting as he brings in real-life examples. The assignments are very useful as I learned extremely valuable things and created a platform I will have for life. Highly recommend this course!
Guys an absolute G. With the online course, he was able to provide us with an opportunity that wouldn't have been available had we done in-class leaning. Each week, there was a guest speaker related to the topic he was teaching. So the 3 hour class was only about an hour and a half a week, the guest speaker stuff was also not on the exam. Good prof
Very inspirational professor! I would 100% recommend his class, and would also say it is one of my favourite professor in Telfer. Digital Marketing is a must to take.
My favourite telfer course I ever took- we finally get to be creative and apply what we learn in class to projects and work we can use as a portfolio, weekly speakers allow for networking and keeps class engaged, prof is very accessible outside of class and truly cares about his students success! Highly recommend even if you are not in marketing!
Easy content. Brings guest speakers from the industry which provides a good networking opportunity. Would recommend this take and take it again. Easy A+
Professor Simon is super engaging and personable. He genuinely taught me the most out of all the marketing courses I've taken so far, and he cares about his students doing well. He's super optimistic, has a ton of industry experience, and organized guest speakers to come and chat offering you the chance to make powerful connections. 10/10
Very engaging prof, his lectures are interesting and motivating. He is also super personable and cares about his students.
I loved this professor! He's genuinely so engaged and interested in helping out students be better acquainted with digital technology marketing! Would definitely recommend taking his class if you have the chance for an elective.
As a final year student, I can tell you that this is one of the most useful course I have taken. The professor conveys the subject matter effectively and the course expectations were clearly explained. Assignments and exams closely reflect what is covered in class. The guest speakers was a great add, great optional course !
Professor Simon is great. Explains concepts in detail and always has interesting guests relevant to course material. Strongly recommend his class!
Good professor
Currently in my fourth year, and he is hands down the best prof I've ever had. The content he teaches is extremely useful and each lecture he brought in a guest speaker, where he did a podcast-style interview. No textbook or external reading is required, and the assignments are very easy. Wish he could teach all my classes!
Professor Simon is hands down one of the best at Telfer, not only does he genuinely care about his students, but he makes sure he's teaching you practical things to prepare you for the real world.
Great prof, great lectures, everything was great honestly what else can I say. Take the course, you will thank me later :)
Great professor! easy assignment and straightforward exam. The mark is fair
Nice Professor. The course is pretty easy, and you can really learn from it.
super insightful guest speakers every week, midterm wasn't hard - mostly short answer questions that wasn't graded too hard, easy grading on assignments
Hes gucci
He's by far one of the best profs I've ever met. He cares about each one of his students and he pushed you to become your best version! He invites quest speaker for each class and helps you expand your network!! Don't hesitate, take his class right away!!
Great prof and interesting class! No group project which is nice!
His classes were very interesting and I never missed a single one. Most of the exams were short answer questions but not too difficult. The assignments in this class were very useful and led me to create a free website.
Very good prof, you just need to pay attention to his class.
Good prof, interesting course and we have guest speaker every class which will share us so many experience and tell us some new trends and new ideas in the market. Take his course and gain more!
Honeslty, he was one of the coolest and nicest profs in Telfer. I learnt a lot in this class, like actual things that can be used in your personal/ professional life. We only had 4 assignments which was a big project to complete. I enjoyed every class and i attended every class. He cares about his students and he is understanding. Def an easy A+
Professor Simon is really chill and an easy grader. I highly recommend you taking this prof.
Assignments are not hard
Took this in person and there are four assignments, one midterm, and one final. The assignments are easy as long as you follow the instructions, but they require quite a lot of effort especially the last two. The midterm was really easy as long as you review your notes.
Great class! As a finance student, I really enjoyed it and it allowed me to show my creative side. I learned so much! He is VERY accessible outside of class and wants you to succeed (if you put in the effort). He responds very quickly to emails and he is there to chat if you have extra questions. The assignments take some time, so start in advance!
Prof delivers engaging lectures and brings in guest speakers to talk about their experience working in marketing. Assignments incorporate concepts learned in class. Exams are fair, but it's important to study.
Awesome prof! Discussed interesting topics in class, and had guest speakers in the second half of every class which had really interesting discussions. Prof was interesting to listen to and lectures were actually fun to attend.
Amazing prof! Attend the lectures and you'll do amazing as he's extremely clear on what he expects from his students. I absolutely love coming into class and listening to his lectures and his guest speakers. By far my favourite class taken at this school, would recommend to anyone!
Jonathan is a super interesting and captivating prof, all of the class content was very up-to-date and useful. I loved all of the guest speakers and the assignments are great if you're creative and like writing. I would 100% would recommend it to anyone!
Jonathan is an amazing professor and I highly recommend taking this course - ESPECIALLY if you're in marketing. He teaches valuable skills that can actually be applied in the real world and his assignments have landed people jobs. Moreover, he is SUPER ENGAGING and I loved attending his lectures! Would rate this class an 11/10!
The professor is very engaging and probably one of the best classes I took this semester. He would bring in guest speakers at the end of the lectures to make it even more interactive for the students. Very great prof!
Professor Simon provides clear instructions about course deliverables. He always keeps his lectures fun and interactive. He also invites guest speakers to class to come to class and explain their journey to success. Show up to class and you can definitely get an A on the course. Professor Simon was great, this class was very memorable.
Worst Prof EVER IDK HOW THESE POSITIVE RATINGS LOL
Loved this class!
Apparently there are only two professors that teach this course, so if you're interested in taking it make sure it is with Simon! In his class, you're given a free website for life, and the option to opt out of your last two assignments for groupwork (which you get paid $1000 for). Great professor, very interesting lectures and guest speakers.
10/10 would recommend taking any course that Jonathan Simon teaches. Teaches relevant and current content that is applicable outside of the classroom. I can confidently say that I learned more practical information in this course than in any other course over my 4 year degree. Consistently brings in guest speakers who help explain course concepts.
Professor Simon is one of my favorite profs I've had at uOttawa! If you take this course, make sure you don't take it with anyone but him. I waited a semester just to take the course with him and it was definitely worth it. So real and will only teach you things that will really be valuable to you in the real world.
Excellent lectures and relevant discussions.
Jonathan is the best prof I've had in my four years at uOttawa. His class teaches you valuable information that will help you in your career. I was always excited to go to the lectures. He also brings in very interesting guest speakers every week.
I took this course in the summer and it was a great experience! He made class enjoyable and made sure his students were well prepared for the midterm and final. I definitely learned a lot and he teaches in a way that is easy to remember. His grading is great as long as you respect the very clear guidelines of his assignments. Highly recommend!
Great professor, really enjoyed this class and all the guest speakers. Would definitely take another class with him.
This class is fun and engaging. Attendance is not mandatory, however I recommend attending. The speakers that come in each week, as well as Professor Simon have lots of useful information that go beyond the posted slideshows. The grading rubric and exam expectations are clear. This class has set me up with useful skills for my everyday life.
Professor Simon is a very good teacher who thoroughly explains the slides in a way that is easy to understand. I strongly recommend taking this course with him and I enjoyed making a website in his class. Easy to reach out of class and happy to answer questions.
Professor Simon has a talent for making complex concepts easy to understand, creating an engaging and supportive learning environment.
Jonathan is an amazing professor who genuinely cares for his students. Although attendance is not mandatory, I strongly suggest attending as many lectures as you can and participate as it enhances the learning experience. His assignments and exams are fair and teach you a lot in addition to providing you with skills to use in the real world! 10/10
The course covering branding, SEO, AI-driven marketing, social media, paid ads, email automation, mobile marketing, and UI/UX design. It provides a deep dive into modern marketing strategies, including content creation, user engagement, and data analytics. Ideal for marketers, entrepreneurs, and designers. It reshaped my understanding of marketing.
He knows the material and is passionate about what he does
One of, if not the best, professor at Telfer. Offers real world experience in the realm of marketing. Friendly and interesting. Assignments and midterms are straightforward and not difficult if you pay attention in class.
If you are going to take the marketing ADM 2320 class you NEED to have this professor, super cool and a great person
Best prof at telfer! wants his students to succeed, interesting and engaging lectures. Would 1000% recommend taking his classes. but weekly group work so have to stay consistent
He's awesome, would def take him again
I really enjoyed these classes. He is very reachable by email and explains his expectations in advance. Sometimes he forgets to tell you about deadlines or upload info you need but once asked he is very prompt to address. Marks fairly. Midterm was all written, Final was all MCQ. Marked kindly for marketing simulation.
Makes lectures fun, has little participation activities that are entertaining. Everything is super straight forward, midterm and final were easy. Some of the simulation stuff was a bit confusing but that wasn't really his fault. I'd take again!
