VERY BORING...!!!
man dont take this guy. if you do, you better know how to spell and dont ever ask him any questions because you aint getting an answer easy.
he's strict but if u pay attention, class participation and pass all exams u should be fine. everyhting is from the book.
excellent teacher makes the class fun except his policy on absent on exams
A pretty good professor if u ask me.
He is good in teaching, but don't have good connection with the student
He motivates students to learn. And he is very nice and kind. If you attend the class on time and pass the exams, you will get a good grade.
In the beginning of the class, I thought he was inconsiderate, rude, and conceited. But he turned out to be great! He gives extra credit, he does fun business games where you can get prizes! his exams are not easy but straight from definitions in book so study! He ended up giving me a A and the last day of class told me I was a great student! =]
This is one of the worst professors I've had. 18 Chapters in 6 wks. All classes with Power Point Presentations with the lights off so you can't even see the notes you take. Exams hard not funny at all. He doesn't teach, he just reads the material. I don't think he really knows what he is talking about. He expects you to read 1000 pages in 6 wks!
very hard
All tests from the book. Definitions and multiple choice. strict on attendance and will lower your grade for it. Gave me an A. have to read and should use practice tests. Inspired and a good guy as well as a good role model. Participate and be respectful and he's really cool. great!
there are bad professors and then you have Philogene. After doing 50 credits at this school I can tell you he is the worst!!! Inconsiderate, disrespectful and anything you can add.
This professor is horrible. Did not know the material himself, just used powerpoint presentations. Never open for discussion of topics & cannot handle be corrected by a student. There is no way anyone could retain 18 chapters worth of material in 6 weeks!
He is a part time professor at LaGuardia so you arnt gonna see his name next to the course he is teaching. But first day when u go in class and see him. My best advice is go to a computer lab and immidately DROP that class. He is the worst professor i have ever seen in my life. Doesnt consider students ability to learn. NOT recommended. DO NOT TAKE
HE IS REALLY NICE TEACHER.YOU LEARN A LOT IN HIS CLASS. AT THE END OF CLASS, YOU GOT A+.
One of the worst prof. even if you show an effort and do extra credit in his class he wouldn't care. After doing all the hw, attending class everyday, doing the extra credit, and by passing the final he still didn't give good grades.. i think he's just so concieted and never listen to students who try to participate and correct him in his class.
If you are a business/ accounting major I would drop his class. If you want to learn something drop his class. And if you want to enjoy class then this is not the one for you. Everybody's negative comment on here about him is TRUE. He doesn't listen to students, doesn't know the material, and his tests are not what he lectures on.
dont bother taking this class unless its a requirement. hes extremely confusing with the way he teachs and seems like he doesnt understand what he says himself. BAD BAD TEACHER DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY
Philogene seems like a cool person outside the classroom but is a BAD teacher. I think if you were to take away his power points you would just have a bunch of corny jokes and him trying to "wing" a lesson. I think he should learn the book himself before trying to come down on students so hard.
This professor is terrible that all i have to say that stupid project he gives u so boring dont waste your time or money
he teaches in power point.... don't really explain the subjects... if you want a good grade you will have to study the book by yourself.... he does give you chance to do presentation in class for those who needs to pick up their grade.his test are moderate. but it is true he is a great teacher..but if u study u will pass...
he is the worst, he is not helpful at all, always thinks hes right ....doesnt explain anything!!!!!!!
i hate this teacher. he acts like he cares but doesnt. he sux at teaching.. only reads through power points and if you dont have the book to know what to work on during class then your on your own!! only way to pass is perfect attendance, pass tests n final. WarninG dont take any classes with him!! you'll regret it
he is not good he doesnt know how to teach
Philogene was the best business professor I've taken at LaGuardia. I took his intro to business class & he gave great lectures every single class. He is very big on entrepreneurship as opposed to most teachers who encourage you to graduate and get a regular 9-5 just like them and be broke for the rest of your life. His course in 1 word=INSPIRATIONA
Unfortunately i took the class and is too late to drop it. He is bad teacher. If u want a good grade don't take this class with Philogene.
Not very knowledgeable professor. Relies on PowerPoint to teach a class and is not helpful at all. He is very funny but I learnt absolutely nothing from his lectures. If u want a good grade, I suggest u get the book and focus on reading by yourself.
Philogene is tough professor!However we are in college and we should focus on learning instead of what grade we get! I enjoied his class!!It was challanging,not like other classes where you get 20 review Qs and 10 of them are on the test.It was a hard class,however his inovative ways of teaching were excelent.I read a lot and learned even more.
Professor Philogene is very funny. His way of teaching opened my eyes up. I wasn't interested in marketing before, but I decided to major in it because of his method of teaching. One on one, he is very helpful. He is willing to go the extra mile, if you are willing to put in that effort yourself. GREAT PROFESSOR.
A humorous professor who is very knowledgeable. he uses powerpoint presentation for all his classes. although very clear, you WILL need to read the book if you want to get a good grade in his class, as all of the questions on the exams are taken directly from the text. but fear not, he is a very easy grader and always grades on a generous curve.
if you are smart (which at laguardia is rare) then this class is a piece of cake. if you are average or below average intelligence then you will need to actually study the book before going to class or taking the tests. even after that you should still get an A since he curves up 2 full grades for everyone. yes... a C is an A. and a D is a B.
Inspirational.... not a boring class... you will have to study, but its rewarding. By taking his class I learned a lot but in a different way any of my other professors ever taught me... he gives extra credits if you make presentations... he gives tons of opportunities to get an A all you have to do is deserved it.
Hes funny and yeah when you are in his class you feel like your learning alot...he does teach in a diff way...but just because hes a funny teacher doesnt mean you take him...trust me hes all about powerpoints and no notes..no review...nothing...you miss his hw u miss alot of points..it was fun laughing in his class but thats it.no curve in ur grade
An awesome inspirational Professor. I don't understand why people (those who don't study but want to get A!)rate him bad. He encourages students a lot to study & shows the path to shine in practical life.He helps you to be creative and really wants you to succeed. Exams are easy directly from the book, I got A.I love him! Will take his class again!
Full of positive energy, inspiring, genuinely funny, and knows Marketing. My opinion, but he's probably one of the top professors in the Business Department. If anything but that he will try to reach everybody (not just the easy ones). Relies heavily on internet (Connect), excessive with chapters covered in six weeks but plenty of extra credit!
The best I ever had!
You can wait another 2-4 years building a resume and hope to generate income if your lucky or you can take this professors class, empower yourself and learn how to make money now. Very animated and inspiring. Very helpful and accepts assignments late. Curves C's into A's. Nuff Said'
He is the worst prof that I have ever meet. He is a funny guy in the class, and maybe u can learn something that other prof don't teach. But the exam are difficult, and he doesn't give u any reviews. If u try to get a C, D, even F... Take him!!!
Prof. Philogene is a superb professor. His class are always fun, and there's never a dull moment. He uses PPT slides to teach mainly, so if u want to get a better understanding READ THE BOOK! He is always energetic and even though his exams (all online) can be a bit tricky he does gives you the opportunity to earn extra credit. Take his class!!
Professor uses powerpoint presentations. Students are unable to take notes. Talks extremely loud. Thinks he's funny. Horrible professor. Tells you to read the textbook and study the Online reviews from this book. When it's time for the test its nothing you studied for. Questions are based on scenarios. Horrible professor.
He is really good,if you do some blogging, youtube video you can easily get an A for sure...lots of extra credit.try to get those...i got 19 points as extra credit,and before the final many of us got 85.he knows how to make you work.do ur work.and get an easy A
I just finished this class with Prof.Philogene and I loved it!He not only teaches a great Management class buthe adds Real World touches and Motivation for his students to be the Best ... He is tough but He reaally does care and prepares you to be a Manager ! I recommand taking any course that he will Teach.
He is an amazing professor. I took him for spring 2013. I'm not gonna lie his test is hard, but if you just read you should be good. He helps you a lot and motivates you to become a manager one day :)
Tell you the truth the man knows what he is talking about all you have to do is come to class read the book do the assignments and parcipate for extra credits if you study you will pass he will help you all you have to do is show motivation. Please pay strict attention.
His personality is much like that of a cop. They are superior and do what they say without question. When i asked for help to customize my blog this semester his response was, "nothing comes easy in life, play with it like you would FB". I took the class so i could learn beyond what i could do at home on my own. He needs to take "TEACHING 101"
If you come prepared to class, read the book and participate, you will definitely pass. Prof. Philogene will take his time to help you pass the class. His classes are very interesting. He makes learning interesting. I will definitely take another class with him if offered.
Great guy, he'll do anything to motivate you. He really enjoys when people participate and gets very emotional and excited when he teaches. I gained the skills to make my own website and generate revenue online just from this one course. Do it right and the class pays for itself!
He's arrogant and boring professor. He thinks he's funny with his corny jokes. Prof. Philogene thinks he's always right and students are wrong. He uses PowerPoint often. His exams are hard. He's very loud when he lectures in class, like seriously? Every student entitled their opinions differently on that Prof. I don't like him at all.
The worse professor I've ever had. Does not clarify questions. Likes to yell ALOTT!!! Powerpoints is something he uses through out the whole class. The worse thing about it he doesn't explain the lessons. His examples are irrelevant most of the time. You want to not gain anything take him + a poor grade.
He likes to grandstand. He is not at all helpful. He posts things on Blackboard but doesn't tell you he is doing so or where to find them. He also posted homework on Blackboard and didn't let people know it was there so if you missed that class you were out of luck.
The guy's a comedian, but he knows what he's talking about. Shows us all of the ways to do business, and create a presence online. He pushes students to engage in online interactions and communication, in order to get good at it. Not a purely theoretical professor, but great for ambitious students.
Enjoyed his marketing class. If you do your work and are engaged in the class you will get a good grade. He is very helpful and has a lot to say. He's one of the best professors in LGCC
The only notes I ever took in his class were his hilarious quotes. Reading them over, I can mentally map out the lectures he gave. He uses powerpoint for his lectures so read the book and do the online chapter quizzes if you want to pass the exams. If a less vulgar Dave Chappelle taught a course, it'd probably be like this.
He can come off as funny but he is loud all semester and doesn't like to give direct answers to your questions. His powerpoints are cramed w info. He has a problem with student's having their own opinions. He's very authoritative, he's always right and you're wrong don't bother trying. If you suggest otherwise he will monologue. i'm not kidding.
Best teacher I've had. Hes so easy to pass if you listen during class. The textbook is kind of optional if you get the learnsmart. Hes also really funny and makes the class fun.
His lectures are the best, and if you study the class notes you can pass with great grades on tests. He is the funniest guy ever! Never boring.. and there to help anyone understand. I only messed up because I worked so much at the time that I barely got to study but he's the very best for business.
Okay here's the deal about Prof. Philogene. If you're a serious student who wants to learn, does the work, comes to class on time, acts professionally in how you present yourself then you will have an easier time than another student who comes in late every time, doesn't do the work, doesn't pay attention, and generally slacks off. Do the work!
He is very passionate and you can see it through his lectures. Great professor who knows his stuff. Encourages you to expand through social media outside of class. Thumbs up!
Great Professor, very motivating, great sense of humor. Very helpful, if you take his class you will learn a lot. His tests are hard, but he prepares you for the best. I am glad I took his class.
Final group Project so make sure you have a good team first day of class you will be working with them all semester. Test from book. Classes are fun.
Mr. Philogene, was a awesome teacher and i hope that we cross path again on other class, he explains everything and give you feed back and helps you with any question you asked. His class is fun and he makes the class fun to come too.
His 12-week session class follows the 6-week format. He doesn't seem to be very knowledgeable on the subject matter and doesn't even cover half of the material in class. His exams are usually open-ended questions on 5-10 terms from chapters exceeding 50 pages and 50 terms each week. If you don't have to take this class, save yourself the stress.
Very aggressive speaker, does an excellent job in getting students to engage in group projects. Provides extra credit. Work hard and it will be rewarded. Exams are a bit unconventional but reasonable. You don't need to buy textbook for this class since exams won't be focused on it save your $$$.
Test is challenging but he's the best professor I've met here yet. Also, he gives a lot of extra credits to make up your grade. Don't give up early.
Gives so many chances for you to get a GOOD Grade. Excellent professor explains the material very well and makes his classes enjoyable.
He's a funny/entertaining professor. Lectures are REALLY long but he'll teach u some secrets about business. Tough grader so do your work, study the lecture slides, and you'l pass. A LOT OF WORK!
Makes learning fun, and a funny teacher, but also a very serious teacher.
Give false lecture example to force student to read the book and avoid using his powerpoint Tough grader/ lot of reading/ lots of test/ make unpleasant joke about failing student/funny/serious/skip classF/lots of writing/give extra credit/good feedback/start earning money he know hes stuff somehow/lots of trick question!. Good tbh just hardcore
Mr. Philogene is great at teaching. I have his class on Saturday for four hours and it does not feel like a drag. He explains the chapters and gives good examples so you understand the material. If your a good student taking school seriously you will enjoy this class and do great. It's up to you! Take advantage of all extra credit given!
Hes serious but easy! As long as you study for the exams you are fine! Gives extra credit. He seems hard at first but really easy! A little strict
Amazing professor! Intelligent and very funny. Makes the class fly by and makes the material very easy to understand. Gives extras credit, so take advantage. Best professor in LAGCC
I think this is one of my hardest class I have ever taken. It's a lot of information but it's really useful given by Professor Philogene. He'll give you secret links to websites like "how to make money", "crypto currency", and if you're a graphic design major use "Fiverr, up work". Yes, the tests are hard. Just study and you'll do fine.
I got a grade higher than what I felt like I worked for. Make sure to study for the quiz for all the chapters and you'll be alright. One of my favorite professors here at LaGuardia and easily the funniest one as well. Take this class if you want to learn something, gain knowledge and resources for this field and enjoy funny professors.
I failed the final exam but I did everything else he asked. He saw my effort and understood and passed me. Just put effort in everything you do and hes will pass you. All the reading was a headache! Every weeks quiz was 10 questions max so you need to read those chapters more than once! Good luckk!
One of the best professors in Laguardia. Not only he is very intelligent, but he has a great sense of humor too.
An excellent professor.
(Be prepared to use Cengage In his class), Hilarious and its never a dull day. All lessons are carefully explained in class, and is pretty open when speaking one on one in his office hours. Just be sure to keep up with the deadlines, and use the test prep on cengage; and you're guaranteed to pass
Professor Philogene is one of the best professors to teach. He's very passionate about his work and very well informed on the latest most current business practices used today. I really enjoyed his lectures. He may seem like a tough guy and strict but he's a very nice and fair person as long as you pass most of the quizzes you're fine.
No lie! Philogene is a really tough profesor. His quizzes can be insane but I guess its my fault for not studying seriously, just study and you'll be fine. I failed the final quiz and would have failed the class but he gave me a passing grade. He's not a bad guy, just a tough grader. Outside of teaching, he's a cool guy. And he gives extra credit
Best professor ever I really recommend his class to anybody who is looking for a class that is not boring.
He is a very funny guy, but acts like a tough guy for a very small guy. You will learn things in his class but nothing related to business. His tests are all online on lectures he doesn't even teach right. If you are on his bad side you will struggle in the class. He had many arguments with students in the class I took with him. Stay away from him!
Be ready to go over assigned chapters in cengage
Professor made the work on Cengage mandatory and did not add the grade on the grading criteria. So we basically were doing all the work of Cengage for fun. When I realized this, I skipped doing a few chapters. He gave extra credit opportunities and when I did it, only give me 2 points. smh
This Professor thinks he is God. If you question him, expect to bow down and brownnose. Or else, his ego will be offended and he will be against you. He enjoys his power and does not want to be challenged. His instructions are not clear, he posts no deadlines and throws surprise exams. Clear your schedule for this class.
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!! Horrible logic when it comes to grading things, and relies on website to grade everything... Take this professor if you want a bad grade and don't want to learn anything.
He was a funny, cool and great professor during this 6 weeks of semester except I did learn little bit but its not like nothing related about business for online lectures. Also he didnt give me a better grades and feedback and I failed for all 3 tests. If you want to take his class or not, hes giving a tough grade and stay focus.
Professor Philogene is an amazing person. I enjoyed his lectures. He is funny, explains in great detail, gives lots of extra credits, and cares about students. Online quizzes, homework, and tests. Easy A.
Doesn't answer emails, hard to communicate with when question is asked.
He is a good professor and you will learn as long as you listen to him in class and read the textbooks. But avoid if you can! I wish I knew but completing work on Cengage isn't necessary only the modules. I did every piece of work on cengage. But kids who only completed modules and no chapters & missed more classes than me got higher grades than me
Avoid this "professor". Do not be his next victim. He used to be a good professor, but now he is a bad person. Stay away from his asynchronous class; no schedules, same-day tests, no email responses, etc. Believe me, I am a 3.9 GPA student, I had everything done, great grades, but he didn't allow me to take the final test and gave me an F. Be aware
His class was always enjoyable and interesting.
Honestly, I love seeing a teacher like this. He was very straightforward and was very easy to listen to. Hopefullychers like him. Just try to participate like crazy. Would take his class again.
The professor has an engaging and humorous teaching style that makes the material enjoyable and easy to follow. He frequently connects lessons to real-world situations, which helps clarify key concepts and keeps the class interesting. Students who pay attention and participate tend to do well, and he is always willing to provide help when asked.
