During his lectures he frequently gives out extra credit and test answers. The only downside to this class is a marketing plan proposal that can be long, but he and his TA give excellent feedback.

Dr. Line is great, but his grading scheme makes no sense. The class is based off of 700 points, yet the percentages to letter grade calculation is unfair to say the least. For example, the syllabus states that 588-615/700 is a B-. Thus in a worst case scenario, a 87.8% (usually considered a B+) awards you with B-. He does not award "+" grades.

Dr. Line was my favorite professor I've had by far. He made marketing such a digestible and fun subject, and his lectures were always so hilarious. He gives you plenty of extra credit opportunities, is always eager to help you outside of class hours, and always covers any and all test information in class so make sure you attend.

I hated this class. I did well enough but it seems like Dr. Line thinks his class is the most important class ever. Pretty boring, a lot of work, and if you get put in a bad group for your marketing plan, good luck. The guest speakers have nothing to do with the course. Attendance is mandatory and he takes it for every class.

Professor Line was one of my favorite professors I had at FSU. He's very down to earth and has a good sense of humor in his lectures. He sometimes gives extra credit points for just showing up to class. Attendance is mandatory and is taken every class. The marketing plan is 200 points so if you do well on that and the 4 exams you should be fine.

His teaching style is clear, consistent, and somewhat entertaining/engaging. He is very knowledgable so there is no rambling or personal stories, it's all marketing talk for the entire lecture. He is very fair about testing and has given points back to the class when it's clear majority of class doesn't understand the question.

Dr. Line is my favorite professor I've had. Lectures are very informative but you don't need to memorize. Class is 60% lectures and 40% recruitment. Discussion boards are not the basic "ramble and and respond to others". Perfectly fair exams. Huge final project but not over complicated. Attendance required but not half the grade. HIGHLY recommend.
