Julio draws on a wealth of personal experience to deliver some of the most interesting lectures I've attended. He is rated as one of the top 30 salesmen in the world, and it really shows. He had me hooked from start to finish, and provided fascinating examples of how the skills learned in class can be applied to real life. He's also a nice guy!
Julio was an awesome prof. You can tell that he really enjoys teaching and it gives the class a positive feel. He does his best to make the class interesting which is great because it could have been really dull otherwise. He definitely knows his stuff. I wish he taught all of my classes! Definitely would take again.
It's a dull course by nature and Julio worked hard to make the material interesting and applicable to real life. He has a lot of personal experiences in the field to share, which was engaging. He clearly outlined what was expected of us during the semester and so the midterm and final exam came as no surprise. Attend class and you'll do great.
A great professor and a cool guy. You can talk to him casually and he's always ready to help you out with whatever you need. Makes the class so much more interesting and simpler with his explanations. Can relate the course material to real-life situations effectively.
Julio is a great guy but the course was horrible. Julio was learning some of the hands on material as the class was. Takes forever to get any marks in so be ready to get your final grade on the last day. Seems like he'all only be doing multiple choice from now on because he seems to have difficulty with marking anything else.
Very good professor. Helpful, always ready to help. if i'll get chance definitely take him.
Julio is an amazing teacher and he is an incredible person himself. Very glad to know him and had a chance to take class with him. The only thing is the course is boring and does not test your knowledge. People who were not studying and not attending the class managed to get the same mark as people who work hard for A and always come to class.
Julio was an awesome prof! Brought the subject to life with his real world examples and videos that he shows in class. The subject is dull but he did his best to make it interesting. Very easy to understand. Truly cares about his students and wants everyone to succeed. Hope to take more classes with him in the future.
Julio is one of the most engaging instructors I have ever had. Not only does he make the classes very interesting but also shares his real life experiences which helps in learning practically and yet, in-depth. Learning from Julio was an absolute pleasure and he is an ideal coach and an ideal mentor.
The best teacher I ever had, also he is a really nice person and he teach things that you would remember for years after university
Amazing, Amazing teacher, i never knew i would love MIST until i took it with Mr Julio.
one of the best professors . gives deep knowledge in the subject
He made a great work upon his preparitions for classes. The material was usuful and interesting. Great professor!
Julio Viskovich made a class that would have otherwise been very boring for me actually very interesting. His real life examples are useful and aided the learning process. All around good guy, patient, and caring for his students!
Best business prof at TRU hands down
Great teacher, fun class . would rcomend
Best professor in the Uni. , attend classes and you will learn a lot, he teaches about current market situations which is perfect. I am really happy that i took a course with Julio and encourage everbody to do the same. Get ready to learn something beyond books . Goodluck
Julio is a fantastic prof, best at TRU. He is very understanding and genuinely wants the best for all of his students and enjoys helping us learn. He is so passionate about what he does & is reachable outside class. He makes lectures interesting by relating the topics to us & leading regular class discussions. Would take again!!
It's my first semester at TRU and I took a core level course right in the beginning. However, Julio's amazing lecture did not make feel the heat of taking up an upper-level course. If you see Julio available for any of the subjects in your course outline, look no further. Fair markings, easy quizzes, and interesting project. Highly recommended!
Julio knows what he is talking about in class and if you are having trouble with course material he is super friendly, helpful, and easy to approach. Textbook is useful but you can pass with just reviewing slides if you wish to save money. Definitely recommend taking one of his courses, just for the experience.
It was easy to pay attention during class because Julio is excellent in presenting information in a straight forward and easy way to understand. He includes his own experiences which helps even more. He goes over what will be on exams and reminds the class when quizzes are coming up. He made the atmosphere of the class accepting and comfortable.
By far the best prof at TRU, Julio actually makes you want to come to class and listen to his lectures. He is very helpful and connected to all his students and actually cares that his students do well. Show up to class and do the work (which isn't hard) and you'll do very well.
Julio is the worst professor I have had so far at TRU. He has no integrity with grading, and it feels as though he honestly encourages students to hand in assignments late. His lectures are uninspiring and consist of simply reading off slides. However, If you visit Julio during his office hours he is an awesome one on one mentor.
Unclear grading criteria, lectures solely based off reading off slides. Exams/quizzes all come from a test bank. Extends the due dates to all assignments and just does not care about classroom etiquette whatsoever.
Julio has inspired my interest in marketing. I have taken his class for both Digital Marketing and Professional Selling, and I have not been disappointed. His lectures supplement the textbook and allow students to view marketing in a real-world perspective. Must take his class for a good experience, BEST TEACHER EVER.
Really amazing ��
He is good
Julio is the best professor in TRU. If you are taking any course from Julio then don't be panic. Just submit all homework and assignment on time.
Learned a lot from the professor. Outside class learning experience. you learn new things, gain experience
By far te best teacher at TRU hands down. Engaging, motivating and every course outline tells you exactly the grading criteria of each assignment, One of the few profs that cares for his students.
Made a class I thought would be boring into a practicle fun experience. We need more profs that care for students, and use modern teaching techniques! A+++
Julio was my prof for many marketing classes and I cant velieve Kamloops is as lucky as it is to have a prof of his caliber,. He also finds time for students for like and real world problems. The only modern marketing prof at TRU
I hears so many good things about Julio I took his summer class and can say he is the BEST prof at TRU. Educated and industry tested with a $1B company. Please keep him around and I'll major in marketing,.
This guy has taught at UBC, SFU and some of the best schools in the country and now is in Kamloops. His marketing knowledge is out of this owrld and can answer any question that is thrown at him. One day I will stump him. Great class etiquette, control, involves the studetns, and give assignments working with local companies.
Julio's social media class got 4 people jobs right out of the class by working with local businesses. Im coming back next semester specifically for any of his new classes
Best Prof in Canada in Marketing and literally knows every infuencer so our guest speakers are literal rockstars! Manages class well and grades according toeffort. Try hard and participate and you will do well!
Julio's is.... Awesome!

i like it?

Some popule like this.
He is a very nice and inspirational teacher. There's so much to learn from him. He really puts effort in teaching and the students should also do the same.
Julio is one of a kind. His enthusiasm always surprises me and he's a great role model to have. Grades very fairly and he teaches many life skills that you normally wont find in a university course.
Julio is an amazing teacher ! He is really passionate about the topics he teaches in class. You can get certified in many things that you can add to your resume. You will use the book for examples but mainly the slides Julio provides and your notes from class. Youll be working in teams and challenged to come up with new ways to apply knowledge.
Anytime I can take a class with Julio, I take that class with Julio. Julio makes learning fun and you will want to come to his lectures. His assignments & projects allow you to apply yourself, but also take the lessons learned into the real world. Marks firm, but fairly. Forward thinking, a true beauty, and one of the best that TRU has to offer.
Julio is the reason I am at TRU. I have been following him from years to learn from him. If you like Marketing and are genuinely interested in the subject you will have a great learning experience. Julio is the king of digital marketing subjects.
Julio is a little unorganized. He gives back grades very late and with no feedback. However, his assignments are very useful and you can easily use the concepts he teaches outside of class. His lectures are fairly dry and repetitive and it is easy to push aside his class and focus on something else, this can be great but also a little dangerous.
I've had Julio for various courses and you should too, they fill up fast for a reason. He's an industry expert for all things digital, but his Professional Selling course is top notch and is great for personal development. Wants to prepare students for the real world. Participation matters. Many ways to earn marks. Challenges you to do your best.
Julio is very passionate about teaching. He is probably one of the best or the best professors at Tru. He is passionate and gives real life examples, a gem for the university youll learn a lot about marketing and sales.
One of the most knowledgeable individuals in the field of digital marketing, extremely qualified to teach the field and brings lots of life experiences to the table. 100 percent would reccomend.
A phenomenal teacher with immense knowledge in the field of marketing. Makes it a point to be available to outside of his classes and actually provides genuine advice. His assignments are definitely relevant and so is the material that he teaches in class.
Amazing Prof. to take lectures from. Explains everything in detail and give a practical insight into his courses. Will definitely recommend taking classes with him.
The real life examples gives you in depth learning experience about the subject. It was awesome class.
Best prof ever!
Julio is an amazing professor I have taken atleast 4 classes with him until now ,I must say he knows the subject really well and really knows how to teach students and get along with them. Thompson River University is the best with him
Really amazing professor would recommend him to all my fellow students
really enjoyed his class as it was really informative .Really appreciated his teaching abilities .He likes to share his experiences which made me look forward to going to his lectures and i also learned a lot which i can apply in my field in future...
Julio is an amazing person. He has revolutionized the way of teaching by giving professional certifications as assignments which would help you in the real world. He would always go out of his way for helping any student. He believes in sharing his knowledge with students and see them grow in life. Taken 3 courses from him till now. Recommended.
I've probably taken every Julio course possible and have enjoyed each one. Super grateful that he's at TRU. If you're serious about Marketing, take his classes. There won't be anyone else who can provide the value that he does. Makes time for students as well, so ask questions and pick his brain, you will learn something new from him every time.
Julio is an inspiration for so many students at the university. He is an amazing prof with an unique style of teaching methodology. He has an in-depth knowledge of his subject and explains it with a help of examples. I would recommend student to atleast take 1 class of Julio every semester to improve your knowledge and love for marketing.
It has been a pleasure to have this course with him. For the first time in my life, someone is teaching courses who not just knowledgeable about the materials but passionate about the subject in real life context. It was a great learning experience and skill development opportunity for me which will lead me to stand out of the crowd.
Julio is a guru in Digital marketing for sure but somewhere he's been lost in his professionalism. Frequent class bunk without notice, even he forget exams and didn't show up. Do your best on quizzes he put from mostly internet because he never checks paper exams like mid or final. Your final grade would be based on moodle marks before final.
Julio isnt just a Marketing professor. I see him as a life couch. Ive taken 3 UL courses with him. Hes intelligent, organized, and empathetic. If you take another prof for MKTG, youre missing out on true value. Julios energy, knowledge & charisma will allow you to explore the fascinating world of Marketing. He is a truly phenomenal man!
Look he's an insightful prof w/ lot of expr. and knowleg, but after taking a class w/ him ,The most unprofessional prof I have had in 4r yrs , not showing up, starting class late, giving absolutely no notice for a cancelled class, never emailing before or after when a situation came And on top hard unreasonably hard maker, dont expect high grade
Hard and unreasonable marker who gives most vague assignment outlines , skips class or is always late with no notice , never gives feedback on assign. Don't take him thinking he's all great and amazing , and don't expect good grade even with lot of effort in work
Julio knows marketing but not how to attend his own class. Constantly Playing the game of is he late or no class especially annoying at 8:30. No feedback what so ever this term. Very vague And kinda tough. He does know social though.
Communication is extremely poor. He say's quizzes will be on a set day, yet changes them every time with short notice. He is very smart, and knows marketing and is very kind but lacks in communication, isn't clear with instructions, because of this his expectations become unrealistic. Poor email reply. Cancels class, late to class.
Julio has a lot of experience in social media marketing, but he is a frustrating professor. He does not answer emails or Moodle messages, is almost always late to class, and does not follow the course outline for material. Quizzes are not when he says, and no clear instructions on assignments. Annoying that a 4th yr class is handled like this.
Vague and long assignments, late or doesn't show up to class, and very hard to reach. By far one of the most unprofessional courses I have ever taken. He has knowledge in his field but he needs to seriously reconsider his recent teaching model as it has been poor for a few years now. Also a final but no midterms so no gauge for grades.
I have had Julio before and he was good. He really has a lot of knowledge and experience in the field but he can be all over the place. Mixes up class days and times a fair bit and sometimes has missed class all together with very little to no warning. So IMO he is hit or miss
Interesting lectures.
Prof never shows up to class!! Very frustrating as you have to teach yourself the material- and good luck trying to get in contact with him if you have questions, this guy never answers his emails. I am quite surprised that he is still employed at TRU considering he has a horrible attendance and will sometimes not show up without sending an email.
I have no idea if there was outside factors or not, but Julio was not a good professor up until he got replaced, unfortunately. He cancelled class multiple times with very little notice, and the reasonings were all over the place You had to learn a lot yourself through the Powerpoints, and overall communication was poor. Bad time.
