This is the professor to take if you don't want to write a useless paper which the other professors have you do. Forms small groups to work on a computer simulation which is related to real world. Professor Londre is not a career teacher like most at CSUN. He works in and owns a marketing research company and relates this experience to the class

Not really a faculty at CSUN. But a great lecturer. His ideas and commentaries are very informative. The guest speakers brought to class do teach a thing or two about marketing in the corporate world. Group assignments can be a bit tedious but that usually depends on the members themselves.

If you want the traditional textbook lecturing teacher, lecture, read, write, test, then this is not your guy.

He is a HORRIBLE TEACHER. In fact, he doesn't even teach. I have yet to know the real definition of Marketing. Whenever a person asks a question he asks them if they've been to class, read the book, and if they've read his syllabus, which is about 20 pages long. He never answers a single question! The Group assignments are awful! DONT TAKE HIM!

What can I say about this professor. NO MARKETING PLAN. You play an interactive game called Pharmasim. 6 assignments in total. 2 of which you play the game and write a report on it w/ your group. One quiz, & possibly a take home quiz depending on how the class did on the 1st one. 4 other assignments done individually. Highly recommend...easy A.

"Do it yourself" style class. Crowd class and no specific teaching at all. Hard to ask questions andwhen asked, the answer is "You may find it in the textbook".

Nice guy. If you want to learn the terms, read the book. The class is mostly based on real life marketing (which is better than many classes I have taken before). Great speakers.

The worst teacher at CSUN. Shouldn't be teaching. Answers questions sarcastically. I think he must post all the good reviews of himself because I can't imagine that people actually liked that class. The speakers are good, but Londre doesn't teach. He just shows the class examples of ad campaigns. Barely anything about marketing management.LAME.

I really enjoy the class. He involved the students with marketing examples through guest speakers and group projects. This hleped make the class fun and enjoyable. I learned a lot. He graded papers and returned them quickly. I would take another class from Larry.

Great teacher, very involved with the class. Clear syllabus with expectations and guidelines laid out.

do not take him. his syllabus is 20 pages long. he talks to students like they are 4 yrs old. there is a TON of papers and if you get a bad group (which you do not get to choose), you're screwed. he grades quickly, but doesn't show you what he marked you down for on your papers. if you really want to learn, take someone else!

He's a nice guy. I would avoid his class though. He is rarely clear. His webCT is a nightmare and you will get tons of work. every class a 3 page paper is due. So don't take him mon/wed ;) good luck...

he means well. Simple things are made difficult. You'll probably never really know what he wants or expects. This is the most confusing teacher you'll ever meet and he's not very helpful. Ask a question... this is your answer "read the book" "read the syllabus".

This teacher does not teach you anything. Take someone else. He expects YOU to read the book, but does not teach you from the book. He is not a teacher; maybe a great marketer but not a good teacher. Better off taking someone else instead. Marketing is not my major but I expect the teacher to teach... he doesn't!

This professor by far is the worst professor at CSUN. He is all over the place with his syllabus and what he expects of us. He does not teach you anything, learn on your own! The speakers he brings to do the teaching have little to do with the materials in the book. AVOID.

Wow...everyone must be really stupid...easiest class. Easy work. In class midterm was a hard because I studied the book and the questions came from handouts and lecture (which i never went to). Last two tests are online straight out of the web book. Assignments/papers are a joke. And they r 1 page long, not 3! One 9 page paper buts its a joke.

I took him at Fall 09. Carefully read the 20 pgs syllabus. He invites a lots of nice speaker. The class is really helpful. 5 project total and individual presentation (not mandatory) for extra credit at the end of semester. Take him! You won't regret. U will learn more than just the knowledge of marketing

Probably many of you have figured this out, but for those that haven't, all the good, positive comments are not from the students. THIS TEACHER WROTE ALL THE GOOD COMMENTS FOR HIMSELF. DO NOT BELIEVE ALL THE GOOD COMMENTS. THEY ARE NOT TRUE!!! AVOID THIS TEACHER AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WORST TEACHER EVER!!!!!! DON'T TAKE HIM!!!!!!!!!

Easily the worst professor I've had at CSUN. The positive comments are written with the same poor grammar as are his online posts. His grading/lecturing/assignment prompts are all incomprehensible. 350 characters are not enough to describe how bad this teacher is. Scatterbrained, confusing, illogical, with seemingly no basis for the way he grades.

It's a tragedy that his score is above a 3.5 as some students will believe this teacher may be worth learning from. This is the worst professor I've had at CSUN. Coming from a straight A student, I feel it is my duty to help lower his overall score to save the rest of you the trouble that I went through; an absolutely abysmal professor.

I have no doubt Larry knows his stuff, but he is a terrible prof. The only possible saving grace is his speakers, which are excellent. He on the other hand, always interupts people, makes rude and sarcastic remarks to student questions, has no clear grading system so you dont know what you did wrong, and his webct is extremely confusing. Stay away.

I highly recommend this class. I always looked forward to classes and I will miss them. I made many great connections with my team members and learned much about how to bring my business and my career to the next level.

One of the funnest, most interesting classes I have ever taken at CSUN! Many great guest speakers. Enjoyed going to class every week. One group project which was fun to do. Learned a great deal from the professor. He is educated, accomplished, and knows what he is talking about. If you put in effort you will pass. Take this class!!!

He is not personable or helpful.You are treated like a number and he is disrespectful to students. His grading is confusing and he is lazy. His speakers make the class great. The exams and lectures are mismatched. A lot of strange facial expressions.
