The best class I took at UCF! He is a great teacher, it is very easy to attend lectures. I learned a lot at his Professional Selling Class.

He gives 2 20 question essay tests-but he emphasizes what the questions will be-he is very nice, but loses his temper quite often(he yelled at a student b/c he asked a question & told him not to come to class anymore).I hate selling so I didn't enjoy this class, but overall he is a decent professor.

Awesome Prof. probably one of the best at UCF

I now have a job in professional sales, and a lot of the stuff you learn in this class can be applied to the real world. Good class to take for any major.

Great teacher! really cares about helping people with there presentation fears and wants people to enjoy the class. Tests are short answer and can be hard, alot of material to memorize.

Sooder is the man. I took him over summer, his tests were not essays, but multiple choice. He definately plays favorites when it comes to the roleplays, but that's understandable, he doesn't want nervous and shy people up there, it wouldn't be fun. Great guy, seems sincere in his caring for students, a little quirky, but hey, who isn't?

Wonderful teacher! Tests are pretty difficult with essays on Lincoln book. Goes easy on role plays and understands how uncomfortable they are. Take him if you get the opportunity!

I really enjoyed this class. He is am awesome teacher! He definitely plays favorites though, so get in good with him early on.

Real nice teacher, tries to be funny...do your work and you'll at least get a B

Easy class overall. His lectures are useless, he doesnt teach anything, but you need to attend for the quizzes and other easy assignments. His tests are mostly definitions.

Definitely helpful to own the book because he doesn't post his slides online and all of the lectures are straight from the book. I wouldn't recommend going to class except on quiz and test days because you'll never be able to take notes as fast as he talks and it would probably be more benefitial to just study the book on your own time.

Easy class. Don't bother taking notes from the slides, just read the book. Doesn't post slides online. Go to class to take the quizes/tests. Otherwise, attendance isn't necessary. Doesn't post the instructions for the case study or field assignment either, so make sure to get those from another student. Just buy the book and you'll do fine.

While kooky, he loves what he teaches. Get him on your good side- talk to him after class and participate in class discussions. Sometimes doesn't know how to control his anger. READ the book and make sure you understand it. He always answers emails and is very helpful. Very intelligent man- I'll most likely visit him after I graduate too.

I took him in a summer class. Class was so boring going over exactly what was in the book. He keeps you to the very last minute. Randomly takes attendance. When it came to the tests though they werent that bad and he graded the cases pretty easy, just follow the example case he gives you. I guess I would take him again.

Checks attendance by using clickers but bring something to class to keep you busy cuz he goes threw the notes so fast you dont have time to write them down. Tests arent too bad as long as you study

excellent prof take him

Awesome Teacher. I will take any class he teaches. Can be quirky but he is brilliant and has real world experience. I would recommend him if you actually want to learn something. So much of marketing in theory, his classes make you work and understand the theory. You are the one that makes your education why not make it worth while.

Strange man. Easy class just read the book and get him to give you a copy of the slides. He likes to talk about himself. Overall good class.

very smart. He knows his work. very nice and helpful. I will take his other advance classes.

Karl is a great instructor who is passionate about teaching. He has a more impressive resume and more connections than just about any other professor at UCF. Take his class and get to know him you wont regret it.

He's an awesome teacher & I learned more in this class than any other class b/c of the role plays in professional selling. Earned an A as long as you follow all the requirements in the role play. 2 exams in the beginning of the semester that you do really have to read the book. Final is a final role play. I definitely recommend him.

Great professor. Class is not bad at all. 2 tests that weren't hard and two role plays. He is very nice and very helpful. I strongly recommend.

Easy class if you study for the test. He gives a "Value Prop" with every test that act as a built in curve. He is a weird guy and he does favor his PCP students but its all good. The two papers are easy and the presentation is the easiest I've done at UCF. As long as you study the power points there is no need to read the book.

One of the best classes I've ever had. If I could, I would take it again. He's very helpful and clear. You actually use what you learn every day in his class. 2 tests are book based and 2 role plays are easy if you prepare for them. Take this class with him if you can!

This is the best professor I have had in UCF. He is really funny and makes class fun to be in. Unlike the other selling classes he gives you a chance to do a role play before the final which is VERY helpful. Tests are super easy but you have to read the books. Super helpful in class and out of class even if you dont have him as a professor anymore

Sooder is GREAT! He tells you EXACTLY what you need to do to get an A. He's a former business person who worked with BIG NAMES in the REAL WORLD - his understanding of subject is evident in lecture. Do the reading, prepare the role plays, come to class, and you'll get an A. I would recommend this even as an elective for non marketing majors.

Taking his professional selling class and I enjoy the course. Doesnt favor his psp students just trying to get students involved. He does have a lot of the marketing organizations come and speak. His exams are a bit challenging even with the book. Personally, the roleplays are easy as long as you take notes. Interesting course you learn a lot

This class requires a lot of work. He has 2 exams within the first 5 weeks of class. I read both the textbook and Lincoln book cover to cover within those first few weeks of class. He's very helpful on role plays and lets you do a practice before the final. Much less work required in this class than other teachers. Definitely recommend him!!

This class offers helpful information for the future such as resume writing and how to communicate in the business world. Mr. Sooder is a character for sure, but he can be a bit difficult to understand because he goes off on tangents and he's too busy talking about his Vespa scooter. He can be somewhat rude and demeaning but the class is helpful.

Mr Sooder is a bit crazy but an awesome teacher. Don't listen to other people. Yes, take his class. Do the work. He tells you how to get an A. Don't piss him off. He is one of the top teachers at UCF. If you need helpfrom him, ask!

Great teacher, He is very helpful and will go out of his way to make sure you succeed. the material a bit challenging and the role plays are intimidating, but he helps you prepare! Funny guy!

Sooder is pretty nuts, but in a funny way. The role plays are intimidating, but he helps you every step of the way with what he expects and is always approachable for help. 2 exams, 1 practice and 1 final role play. Get to know him and the class will become easier and less intimidating.

His class is a great way to get over your fear of selling or to just brush up your skills. Book is necessary in order to ace the tests. He makes sure everyone is clear on what the guidelines are in order to pass the class.

Great Professor! Tests are challenging but you'll do fine if you read the book.

He is a great guy! Able to help after class and office hours. Role playing was fun and easy if you listen to him because he tells you what he wants. 2 Tests I found hard but if you do well otherwise you will be fine.

Was a good class, learned skills to get a job and be able to sell my skills at job interviews. Really does know his stuff and cares for students, sometimes a little too overwhelming but he is very passionate.
