There are 4 exams, 2 research participation, and a marketing simulation grade. As long as you go to class and pay attention to examples, you'll do great!

Hopkins made me consider being a marketing major.. Yeah he was that good.. His lectures are hilarious and his accent is too cute. He loves relating to the students even if it's a lecture of 200+.

Prof Hopkins has to be one of the most knowledgeable professors on our campus. MAKE SURE YOU DO WELL ON THE SIMULATION. I went from an A- to a B- in this class because I messed up on the simulation. Study the direct power points a week before the exam in depth and you will be fine, make sure you use critical thinking and it will be very east.

Great professor, Hopkins has very clear expectations on how to do well in this course, and makes the lectures engaging with lots of real life examples. Tests are from his lectures and powerpoints, and he does take random attendance. The one thing I didn't like were the simulations, which were pretty useless, but other than that I'd do it again.

Professor Hopkins is an amazing professor with a sense of humor that makes his lectures interesting and entertaining. Very simple material that is pretty common sense and all you have to do is look at the powerpoints or watch lectures to pass and ace the exams. Definitely recommend!

Dr. Hopkins was very clear and helpful the few times that I reached out to him. There are only 4 exams, so be wary. However, they are easy if you study. The textbook is optional, but he will put questions in it on the exam. So if you study those questions, it is like 10 easy questions on the exam. Would take any of his classes again.

He really breaks things down and makes the class easy to understand. There are 4 non cummulative exams and they make up your whole grade. Not sure why people are saying there is no extra credit because there is if you do a project or fill out 2 10 minute surveys. Do the practice problems and textbook problems over and over and you will get an A.

This professor only gives grades by exams. There is too much pressure in only being able to rely on exams for grades and no other way to weight out the grade. Also, the practice quizzes were only a little like the exam. The exams would only cover some of the things from the quizzes and most of the material on the exam would leave you confused.
