The absolute best professor I have ever taken! I transferred from NY and spent 2 years at Chapman and by far Fawaz is a top notch expert in business. He actually lectures if that make sense anymore. Totally recommend him and wish he was teaching other classes at Chapman!
highly respected by students. group project is a bit too long but worth doing it in this class and the prof provides tons of support including his time out of the classroom. amazing lectures and give extra credits but you got to wow him!
best surprise ever! this professor is simply awesome! learned so much about so many countries while having so much fun in class. gives real life example the we experience every day and really cares about students and their career. love him!
get ready to read a lot but on your own pace. tons of research about a company you select so the interest is there. not a minute wasted in class. Always there for you. highly recommend taking him
Every word spoken is made sure to relate to the real world unlike other professors. if you want to not only get a good grade and actually have practical information that will make you money in the real world unlike most classes which is just book after book then this is the one you need to take. He makes sure you are fully prepared for your future.
love the guy, takes care of his students. there for you when you ask but be ready to do a lot of research for your group project which is tons of fun
Hilarious and fun. amazing lectures although I hated the pop quizzes.
highly respected by students and does amazing lectures. I highly recommend Dr. Fawaz he is easy to talk to always willing to help especially with your career. best prof ever
best prof I ever took at Chapman. wish he taught all my courses :-)
you will love to hate this prof but worth every effort you make in his class. highly recommend him as his lectures are simply amazing
hardly survived his course with a promise that it would help my career so we will see. very inspirational, knowledgeable, and an amazing lecturer but he is surely a no-nonsense professor when it comes to grading. still recommend him as I learned a lot more than expected.
This professor is awesome and will work you hard if you take his class to learn. Not an easy grader but fare and there for you to help. Amazing lecturer.
This professor's way of delivery is not organized at all. It's so random. The project he gives has a lot of repetitive parts. In general, I think it's a class that he doesn't prepare well enough. And the professor likes to change his mind a lot! he said one thing did another, which frustrated me. Do not recommend at all.
Not sure what that complaining student is talking about but the group project was the best part of the entire course.
That student must have gotten a bad grade. This prof is awesome and would take him again
The way of this professor's teaching style is different. Mostly, I think I learn the most from my peer classmates. And one thing I noticed, the professor like to interrupt when students were talking , which I think is kind rude. As for his final, don't trust what he said. Completely different.
Class was basically common sense in business in my opinion. It does not even fully incorporate the classic marketing models or concepts when it comes to discussion. It's more like his opinion and suggestion instead of an objective metrics or common model And sometimes the discussion can go off topic. I just don't see that much value in this class.
One of the best professors I had in my last 6 years of college. It amazes me how some students use this rating to justify their academic deficiencies. I learned more about marketing, business, and real life situations in his class than in my entire experience in college. Actually, I am taking his BUS 603 in the Spring and I do not even need it
Fantastic professor and is always there for you even after semester is over. Group project was the best part of the course. very organized and well prepared. I am actually auditing one of his courses now and love learning the practical part of business and not just the theory.
tough but excellent professor. his lectures are simply amazing.
smart guy, learned a lot, highly respected by his students
I wish this interterm course was for a full semester. this professor was perfect and will take him again. Highly recommend him.
a lot of work but worth it. I would take him again no question
this was by far my favorite course. the professor is wonderful and I highly recommend him.
loved the class but 4 weeks Interterm was hardly enough. I recommend you take this class with the prof in a full semester and you will simply love it. he is always there for you and will go out of his way to help and has the best office hours.
I TOOK THIS CLASS AND IT IS FANTASTIC. THE PROF IS INSPIRATIONAL AND HIS TEACHING STYLE IS AMAZING. I ACTUALLY LOOKED FORWARD TO THE NEXT CLASS SESSION WHICH IS SOMETHING I NEVER DID. CANNOT WAIT TO SEE WHAT OTHER CLASSES THIS PROF OFFERS SO I CAN TAKE THEM. HEADS UP THOUGH AS HIS CLASSES ALWAYS HAVE A VERY LONG WAITLIST.
this prof is a lot of work but worth it at the end. he holds amazing lectures and is always there for you. I would take again in a heart beat.
had so much fun in this class I switch my major to marketing. test are tough but the professor is fair and will take him again.
learned a lot but surely makes you work for it. his tests are strictly from lectures so if you skip one you risk an A. group project is long if you are taking other classes that I was but worth doing. would take him again if I was not graduating.
Fawaz is a great professor and really wants you to learn about the topic. He is hilarious but does have his favorites! Love him and would definitely take again. Highly respected.
hard work but pays off in the end. participation is vital
One of my favorite MBA classes at Chapman so far!
best mba class ever. highly recommend the course and the prof
skip class you won't pass is a perfect way to describe his style. Professor focuses on student participation and is very engaging. Highly recommend taking his classes.
The entire class was literally a group project and one of my more enjoyable group projects (the business school gives a lot of group projects tbh). His lectures were always engaging and you learn a lot of things that don't directly relate to international marketing. He genuinely wants you to succeed in the real world!
most inspirational professor so far and I am glad I chose Chapman for my MBA. the course is very interesting and the prof ties it to world application very well. I actually use his suggestions in my own work and my boss is impressed every time.
I loved the prof and the course as a none major and by the end of the semester I ended up changing my major from com to marketing. Highly recommend taking this prof but do NOT miss classes because exams are based on class discussion and example
as a non major I took this course and simply fell in love with marketing. I appreciate this professor and highly recommend him.
I literally changed my major to marketing after this course. the prof is an amazing lecturer and his contacts outside the school are priceless. I scored my dream job through his network. I am not saying he is great because of the job as I was not even looking for one. I was waiting to graduate but he pushed me to take the opportunity. Thank YOU!
heavy on attendance and no electronics during lectures but somehow I survived and was glade I took this course and professor. I highly recommend him and will take again. get ready to talk on all issues as he will call on you if you are distracted.
I wish I knew marketing was that much fun so I could major in it. the professor made learning very interesting and related topics to real world events which was awesome. He is hilarious and fun to learn from but be aware of pop quizzes because this is how he takes attendance. I would take him again.
very demanding course but with the help of the professor especially outside the class it is an easy pass. miss class and you will lose the A. my only complaint about this prof is that he does not give make up tests no matter what the reason is so if you are the type that simply misses class lecture this is not the prof for you. I recommend him
no nonsense professor. love his style of teaching especially his real examples . I did not like the pop quizzes but they sure made me read every chapter before class. If you are shy then this class is not for you as he will call on you and I hatted that first time then loved it because he make you feel real good after you talk.
simply awesome prof
Negotiation is by far my favorite course at Chapman EVER. the prof was amazing and I will take another course with him again anytime.
One of my favorite professors at chapman. He made the subject of international marketing fun and easy to learn. If you pay attention during class then you will do well on his tests. Did not read the book but studied his notes / powerpoints. He always offers extra help if needed. Need to be in class or you won't know certain things on test.
I highly recommend you take negotiation before graduation. this class should be a core and not elective class and the professor was amazing.
must take and you will love him.
I wish I can switch majors to marketing. the professor made the course so much fun I actually was looking forward to classes.
very high on participation. the professor is an amazing lecturer and highly recommend taking course with him.
All i have to say is, for an international mktg prof, his geography knowledge is terrible. Time passes fast during lecture, no laptops allowed, huuuge group project. Whoever you sit next to in class will be in your group (the entire row). Super easy exams, take notes in class and you'll pass. Didnt learn much, so only take if u just want an easy A.
While some may find his lectures to be overwhelming in terms of digesting all the information, he is one of the few professors that applies every concept taught in class to current events. Very, very engaging professor that is big on professionalism. Would take again and recommend to others.
hilarious prof and heavy on group project and worth every minute you spend on it.
great overall but did not like the no-phone no-computer policy at first. would take him again for sure.
You will love to hate him. Tough, no nonsense, worth your money.
hated the no-phone no-computer policy at the beginning but realized later how important it was. still I wish he allowed that, so oh well. I hope he reads this comment and reconsiders his policy for future classes. I am attached to my phone but who isn't these days. learned a lot so that make up for it.
My favorite professor at Chapman so far. I wish I could take another course with him but my major is not business.
1 week into this course and all seems great. love the group project and the open discussion in class. very cool professor and most definitely take him again!
Prof Fawaz is so entertaining and funny. He is very passionate about marketing. I learned so much from this class, even in the short time of 4 weeks for interterm. If you take this class in interterm, you have a midterm and final (15 questions each - T&F) & one group presentation (3-6min). He let's you decide what you want to do for the project.
highly recommend Dr Fawaz. Well versed in Marketing and super helpful. very heavy on group project and team work.
I now know why this professor get such great ratings, he is simply awesome. you may not like his policy of no cell phones or computers during lectures but after the first week, you will be so engaged in the lectures that you forget about your social media addiction. If there is one thing I did not like is the fact that he calls on you randomly.
Mark really helps you apply thought & analytics into viewing a business. Makes you think outside of the box. This class was always so interesting to attend. Try to skim the chapters before class bc he will give random pop quizzes. His main group project is pretty difficult to get an A on but as long as you so the work, you'll get an A on the final
awesome prof and highly recommend taking his classes.
Had him for interterm and it was extremely helpful for real life. The interterm course is very manageable and pretty interesting. It gets dry towards the end because it's lecture heavy He breaks the terms down so they are interesting, easy to remember, and they are actually used in the real world. Downside, is often we went on random tangents.
simply an amazing lecturer
I actually learned how to start a business from one course with this professor and could have skipped four years of courses and $$$$. Best prof at Chapman by far.
by far the most amazing professor I ever had at Chapman
this course has been a bit on the difficult side for me as I am taking 5 courses this term but Dr Fawaz is an amazing professor. I will come back for another degree just to take his classes but of course I am not doing that.
ok so I just went to an event on campus and this professor was awarded the Most Inclusive Professor and Best Teaching Style of the year and I totally agree as his class was extremely interactive and engaging. I loved every lecture and would highly recommend him. thank you Chapman for having such a fantastic professor for us to take.
absolutely amazing professor. tough but fair grader. I learned a lot and wish I could take another course with him. if you skip too many classes your grade will suffer.
Too bad Chapman cannot clone this prof as his teaching style is amazing. Learned more in his class that my entire four years. get ready to work pretty hard for his class to earn an A and plan on turning off your phone and computer in class as they are prohibited, yes, no phones or computers and it is well worth it. Highly recommend him.
skip class and you won't pass is so true for this prof and he'll make you work for and HELP you earn an A if you are serious about learning the subject. Group project is a bit too much if you're taking 3 or more classes. By far the best professor I ever had at Chapman!
What an amazing entrepreneurship professor! the class was great and I wish I had taken other classes with him as his students from Marketing classes did really well on the project and some of them actually started their businesses from the class. I even got a job with one of them so how awesome is that? Highly recommend this inspirational guy!
my third course with the professor and I wish he taught all my core courses. Very inspirational and up-to-date with current events that he literally taught course materials through them. I understood why companies do what they do as I experienced in my daily life. Highly recommend him.
highly recommend this prof
a great professor to take if you want to learn public speaking. he focus on group projects and presentations. very heavy on group work so if you are a solo leaner, you will be challenged.
Awesome course and amazing professor. I learned how to start my business and the prof really cares about us and spent so much time helping me it was amazing. I highly recommend taking him.
so I took a class with Dr. Fawaz 3 years ago and my current boss at the law firm who is amazing had taken him a decade before I did. How I found out was funny as I was laying out my strategy to negotiate on behalf of our client and my boss said: wow, that is exactly what my old professor would do, and sure enough it was Fawaz. Awesome professor.
My capstone course and this amazing professor summed up my entire MBA experience in few weeks. You don't realize what other professors missed teaching you until you take Fawaz. He lectures heavy and participation is mandatory so be aware.
by far the best professor I had in my MBA program and highly recommend you take him. Fawaz is a true outside the box thinker and his teaching methods are effective and far from traditional. I loved the group projects we did and how much I learned to work with groups.
by far the best professor I took at Chapman. His Entrepreneurship course was a mix of both undergrad and MBA and I thought it was crazy at first but then realized the benefit of learning with a diverse student body. will take another course with him anytime.
I read other students say that he is the best professor they had at Chapman and that is an understatement. He is by far the best professor I have ever taken. You sure get what you pay for from his class. Very passionate about entrepreneurship and and helps beyond the class. His network is amazing and he will not hesitate to share it, just ask.
Fawaz was my instructor for this course. As a senior student, he is by far the best lecturer I have had at Chapman University and he was even recently awarded the Most Inclusive Professor and Best Teaching Style of the year. I loved every lecture and would highly recommend taking this course.
This entrepreneurship course changed my life and I owe that to Dr. Fawaz or "Marc" as he asks you to call him in class. Down to earth and your partner in learning through and through. Relentless in his effort to make sure you succeed. You will be happy to took his courses.
Interactive, knowledgeable, very cool professor. The best at Chapman by far.
Professor Fawaz created an amazingly comfortable learning environment for us to speak our mind without fear of embarrassment. He has a very good sense of the overall industry knowledge and always gave valid feedback. He makes you work for your grade so stay on top if of and do not miss class. He is also well connected with networking events.
The best of the best in the MBA program. He will teach you what you need to learn and not waste your time with bs attached. His classes matter, and you will achieve what you paid for. 100000000% recommended!
