Wouldn't take again

This teacher was probably one of the hardest teachers I have ever had. He was not clear on any of the papers that were due which brought my grade down significantly. All the tests that he would give theres absolutely nothing on the textbook about them so that was also a lot harder.

I've had him multiple times as he is the only teacher for a few MGT classes. He gives a lot of busy work with little instruction. You'll work hard to get it right and he will score you low with next to zero feedback. I had him in person once and he is a nice guy but he expects students to have "academic merit" by keeping you busy with nonsense.

I am taking the accelerated course. No COMMUNITY COLLEGE prof. should be assigning Harvard material to read and analysis. Each week I have, 2 pre quizzes, 2 regular quizzes, 2 Harvard case report analysis, 2 discussion post, and 8 peer responses (4 each post). I know its an accelerated course but that's just an unfair amount of work to assign.

I would not recommend this professor to anyone, he takes a considerable amount of points for small mistakes. It does not matter how hard you work, nothing is enough for him. If you are not patient, I would not recommend this professor to you.

The Harvard business cases are annoying and require a few hours per case but grading is not strict, material for any quiz are in the books for the course and the weekly discussions are pretty easy and more opinion based. Be advised 8 week class is a lot of work, it felt like I was taking 2 courses but that is how 8 week classes work.

I'm used to a heavy workload, but this professor assigns too much work per week and requires too many responses from peers, especially for a 16-week course. I emailed asking questions and for feedback and never heard a response. He offers an insane amount of extra credit, which is the only positive. Proceed with caution, but I'd advise against it.

Professor Cameron really knows how to make his classes challenging but rewarding. This class is not as difficult as some of the reviews make it seem. Yes, it is time consuming, but it is not difficult. As long as you put in the time, follow his outlines for papers, and participate in the discussions, you will pass this class. Fairly lenient grader

I took the 8 week accelerated MGT229 course. He laid it all out. 2 chapters, 2 discussion groups, 2 quizzes and sometimes 2 case studies. If you're not all in then you're going to fail. Tell what you're expecting and I can hit that target. He said he didn't take late work, but I submitted it and messaged him about it and he gave me full credit.

The class was pretty straightforward; however, it does not "accept" late work. Assignments lock after a due period. Offers extra credit. Business reports, which are essays, almost weekly. You need to set a lot of time aside for this class. I stacked myself with classes and didn't do as well as I should have. Overall is a good professor, aside.

I had Preston D Cameron for MKT271 and SBU200. He was the worst professor I have ever had. Not once will he ever respond to you. You can send 15 emails and 10 canvas notes a day and you will never get a response. He offers extra credit every week but good luck receiving any credit for it. He is so picky when it comes to grading, it is frustrating.

If you like same assignments every week, then take this teacher, but I found his class to be repetitive and exhausting. The case studies are the worst and were outdated from 90s to early 2000s which is unhelpful for a marketing major today. If I could write more, I WOULD. I DO NOT suggest taking him unless you want to feel like learning is a chore.

Lots of work for this class, but using unstuckstudy and the textbook helped manage the heavy workload. Professor gives a lot of extra credit - the only bright spot. Proceed with caution.

Preston Cameron offers weekly extra credit. The case reports will likely be the tougher part as these are graded differently with less leeway. Weekly discussion post due by Wednesday, 4 peer responses, due by Sunday, one quiz plus business case report (1 page essay) due by Sunday as well. Expect an average of reading 50-60 pages weekly.
