Don't buy the book. His lectures are all online and his tests are based on his lectures. The group project was time consuming but I think it is like that for all MKT 304 classes. I looked forward to going to this class. The only thing that I didn't like is that he wants you to memorize word for word definitions for his tests.

Prof. Gosselin is great at teaching students. He gives great real world illustrations and brings current news examples in the lecture. His class is overall easy, his exams are MC, T/F, fill in the blank and short answer. Watch the in class videos since they count as EC on the exams!! You dont need the book-- really. I bought it and wasted money.

Marketing 304 with Professor Gosselin is simply amazing. His lectures are clear, concise, and most importantly, INTERESTING. He is a fair grader and handles a class of 150+ students with ease. The only problem you might encounter is during the group project. With such a high enrollment rate, you are bound to encounter a schlub or two in your group.

Took him for a 6-wk summer session: 3 tests containing m/c, t/f & short answer. Study off his lecture slides & skim thru book. 2 group case studies to complete (presentation-about 30 minutes and paper-approx 10 pages) Get into a hard working team and you'll be fine. He's passionate about his teaching & lectures are very tolerable. Recommended!

I agree with most previous comments. Great prof, knows the material, plenty of real-life examples. 4 exams in the winter semester with multiple choice, fill-in, short answers. If you read the book and study hard you 'might' get an A, without the book probably not higher than a 'B' . Each exam includes 3-4 questions (5 points each) out of the book.

He knows the material and teaches you everyday material. I would recommend him, however, due to him I changed my major from Marketing to Finance.

Miss one Q on test and its minus 8 to 12 pts each Q. Unfair. His essay Q's if u miss one word he takes off 8 out of 12 pts. I worked hard got 3 B+'s and 2 C's, and got a C! AWFU

A good teacher. Gives plenty of examples so the students would understand the concepts. 4 quizzes are 95% from the lectures and slides. I rarely read the book. So attendance is mandatory. Grades hard but if you study the material should be fine. Class in not boring. Absolutely cannot cheat, and follows very strict rules during each quiz. Take him.

First of all, he grades the marketing term paper completely irrational. I thought the best groups would blow me away but they didn't. As a group, we tried our best and it was not good enough. I put way too much time into that paper, and it was upsetting how he picked every little thing out.

Yes this prof is very helpful if you want major in Marketing. He gives 4 tests including final. tests are very hard and he grades very hard. If it's not written like he wants but still has the same meaning he takes out points. there is no way he will add even a point. There is one project, which he also grades extremely hard.

If you just need to pass the class and don't really care about your grades you can take this class with him. Otherwise, I recommend to stay away. His class will ruin your GPA. The way he grades is just horrible .

His class is hard, you think you study enough, then his question on his quiz will say otherwise. Alot of question are about his videos, lecture, and hidden videos in his slides. If you do not go to class, you'll probably miss like 5 question. Do not NOT take his class at 8AM unless you are a morning person. Group Project was graded HARD/HARSH

Tests are worth 70% of the grade. He is lecture heavy but the lectures are pretty entertaining. The only set back is the group paper, it's a pain to get done and he nitpicks the hell out of it, the only good thing about it is that it is 15% of the grade. The hw is simple and it is easy to study for the exams. Read the articles and watch the vids.

Good class, BUT don't be late to the tests, you will not be allowed to take them! Easy enough class to get a B in, but to get an A: study his videos and lectures for the midterms/finals, try to get the best possible group for the term paper and follow his grading rubric for that.

In order to do well on the quizes make sure to read the text (mostly main definitions), watch his online videos (if a hybrid class), and be present in the class, some of his questions are based on what he said during the lecture. The most difficult is the group research paper, so choose your group carefully.

Prof. Gosselin is hands down one of the best marketing professor's CSUN has to offer. If you want a robotic professor who reads off of PPT slides, he isn't for you. If you want real-world examples and to actually learn, he's the one. The people leaving bad reviews are the ones who never show up to class and get mad when they fail.
