He marks pretty hard, halfway through the semester I ended up dropping his course, it wasn't even worth it to continue. I couldn't get a hold of him outside of class and he spent so much time complaining about how busy he was. How is that my problem you overloaded yourself?

Don't buy the book for this class, you wont need it. Also hes a really tough grader, like my GPA has maintained about 3.5 for the first 3 years and it dropped dramatically in his class. He isn't accessible outside of class and I would avoid referring to him in any way possible.

NO NO NO NO. do not take this class. drop out and save yourself

this class was so difficult and he marks extremely hard. I wouldn't take his class again. Cant get a hold of this guy outside of class either. If you require an instructor who is helpful and replies to emails, this is not your guy.

hes a hard marker and he complains mostly about how he has 6 other classes to mark. so don't expect any heart to hearts or compassion from him.

Really tough grader. I tried emailing this teacher to get in touch with him and he ignored my email. Yet he had the time to tweet and update his social media. Considering this is a social media class there is a lot of emphasis on spelling and grammar. If this isn't your strong suit avoid him as an instructor.

Difficult to work with this instructor. Not nice. Not easy to get a hold of. Not sure why you're an instructor at nait. Pension? Take another teacher if you can. You wont here back from him until two months later

Zero help from this guy. He sends out long emails weekly with his expectations from you which is about the only helpful thing. All in all though improvement emails for blogs come after 2 months so you don't have time to improve. Lazy, Rude and lots of rumors about his disrespect towards students which I found to be legit. Seen it in person.

I hated having Ray as an instructor. In MARK4474, it was heavy with work. It was difficult material & required a lot of time to do assignments. Id suggest to have strong English & writing skills for that class, English is not my first language. I failed miserably

Do you want to fail? Do you want your GPA to drop magnificently? If you've answered yes to either of these, please choose this instructor. He is one of the worst instructors you can take, and his class is 100% opinion based... HIS opinion that is. Don't try and voice yours because it'll be wrong. Switch out this class as soon as you see his name.

Expects good grammar and wording. (Very picky)Ex: Reads the first page of a paper and automatically marks it a F.

THE WORST.

This is the hardest things ive ever done. He gives you a lot of feedback but thats weeks after youve finished the first assignment so you cant even improve inbetween. Every assignment is like an english proficiency test, thats all he will mark you on. Not on content. He isnt caring and is difficult to get a hold of. NAIT really messed up with him

This was the most difficult class I have ever taken at NAIT. Thank god this semester is over. This was a GPA killer, he isnt accessible outside of class either

Really pay attention to detail. Its all about reading in between the lines in regards to what he wants

Ehh not the best.

Not accessible outside of class which is a well known fact. He gives really good feedback in regards to assignments but that does not come until months later. He is rude and condescending. Often seen talking down to students. Is known for his lack of respect. If English is not your first language you will be butchered on your assignments.

This teacher has no compassion and will belittle you if you ask a question that he thinks is a "dumb question". He doesn't understand math since he decided to drop the lowest quizzes and that should make your grade go up but, somehow my grade dropped 4%. He couldn't give me an answer how this happened and wouldn't round my 79.5% to an 80%.

THE WORST CLASS I HAVE EVER TAKEN. Day one we got a girl crying in the corner, second week 10 people have dropped his class

Even when I put my assignments through grammarly he would still dock me tons of marks. Rude and obnoxious

Raymond is a tough grade, its difficult to get a hold of him outside of class and his grading criteria is not clear. I thought taking this online course would be easier but it isn't. I send him emails asking for updates and he doesn't respond for weeks, but he has time to update his twitter feed. This class is a GPA killer.

Difficult to reach. Almost impossible to talk to. Avoid taking him as a prof. It is not worth it

I would strongly avoid

They changed this course so they mark it based on grammar skills. English is not my first language and I struggled. It doesnt matter how much you write about social media marketing he wont care. He only cares about punctuation, spelling mistakes and any English errors. I would say this class is similar to critical reading and writing, super hard.

Not an easy instructor to get a hold of. The class itself was easy but homework was flying out of every direction. I emailed him a couple of times without hearing anything back. Personal opinion but I wouldnt take again

Let me put it like this, aside from the very rare "Google app" he will show you the class is a straight-up waste of time. Most of the conversations with the class are about hockey, which I don't give a rats ass about. The assignments range from hard to piss easy, it really depends on who grades your paper in the class.

If you miss class once, youre practically on his bad list. He doesnt respond to emails , his feedback is harsh too. Very condescending when he speaks to you

Its the unanswered emails for a whole month for me

Unprofessional in every sense of the word. continuously kept everyone guessing , and lack a respect for students

Not helpful,would never be in the same room with him again if my life depended on it.

Worst marketing instructor ever at NAIT. Does not give timely feedback. Picks at you when you don't show up to his class. Also, his pointless peer grading system is pure BS. Even if you give your best, he won't recognize you for it. Avoid whenever possible.

All course materials are from Coursera or google. Mark your peers assignments which means the blind are leading the blind. Rarely answers an email inside of a week. Based on my websites stats, he spent less than 5 minutes checking over my website in the entire semester. First time I actually had to report a prof to the school for being so bad.

I would avoid Ray at all costs. I took MARK3372 as an elective and it was without a doubt the heaviest course of my semester. Ray does not reply to emails, doesn't give clear expectations, and is easily triggered by follow-up questions. His class is a worst-case scenario if you are trying to get something useful out of your education.

Ray is really bad, worse than Artem to put it into context. He does not respond to e-mails. I've sent him multiple e-mails and he has an auto response saying he is too busy to respond. The peer grading system is a joke, I currently have a 4.0 and it is single-handedly dropping my GPA. I am on the verge of having to drop this class.

Ray is the worst prof Ive had in my 4 years here at NAIT. Will not answer emails, rude to students and shames us for asking for clarification. There is even a Twitter account asking NAIT to specifically fire Ray. Clearly he does not care and makes easy money doing nothing!

Single-handedly the worst instructor I have had throughout my degree. Extremely unclear instructions on projects to be completed and by when. There are so many assignments to do and feedback from him is nonexistent. Majority of class was marked by other students and 3 months later, still don't have ANY feedback from Ray. AVOID this guy.

Ray has been the worst prof I have had during COVID. He doesn't answer emails, has you grade other students' papers so that he literally does no work. Nothing I saw in class gives me any indication that he's competent at marketing at all. His pathetic YouTube channel had like 100 subscribers (he begged us to subscribe). Just brutal.

How is he actually a teacher? He doesn't really seem to know marketing, his lessons are all from Google. I'd rather buy a textbook and read it myself than take his class. He seems out of touch, isn't a good teacher,and ignores emails for a week if he answers them at all.

I was just hoping to get so much more out of this class. He barely taught during lectures, as it was 70% breakout rooms and since there was no textbook, our learning was very limited. Our grade was made up of about 6-7 assignments total and 5 of those were peer-graded. In a 2h class, you were lucky to come away with one good piece of information.

Save your money, time and GPA and avoid taking social media marketing if Raymond is your instructor. Most unprofessional teacher I've ever had. Shows zero care for his students and puts little to no effort in his course content. Did not reply to any of my emails even though they were created within his "guidelines" of how to properly email him.

A man with a big ego. Choose any other teacher for this course. He seems great at first but his ego takes over the class

Has time to post on twitter but not to respond to student emails???? Gives harsh and useless feedback. Avoid.

He doesn't follow the rubrics posted on Moodle. He will give feedback that are unrelated from the criteria for grading. Has little understanding on the simulation game. Often discusses AI, with only 10% emphasis on class discussion. While cool and fun, relying on him for exams may lead to failure. Not recommended for those seeking quality learning.

Won't release final exam marks nor reply to emails sent but finds time to post on twitter and linkedin? It is so clear he doesn't care in the slightest about his job. New semester starts in a few days and I have yet to receive my final grade for his class. So sad that this is the amount of effort put into your job. Shame on you Raymond.

He does not teach at all all he did was go elsewhere and watch the lectures. He does not provide any textbooks that are beneficial for learning. Marks carelessly for assignments never pays attention to what things were correctly done, and marks them falsely. And he does not accept questions regarding how he marks. So, do not take his class EVER?

He doesn't reply to emails. Does not really teach and I'm wondering why students rate him as awesome when $$$ for tuition paid for a course taught by him should have been a freebie. He just relies on linkedin learning which you could get for less than enrolling. A total waste of time and money avoid his class! Worst class ever

I have a lot to say but I will just keep it simple avoid him. Except you just want teach yourself! I wonder what he is doing as an instructor!! Doesn't teach, doesn't provide feedback early until end of term. A complete waste of tuition

If you are thinking about taking Rays class, DONT. It almost seems like his main goal is to shut students down, rather than fostering an environment for growth. he often tells his students to F*** off and uses inappropriate language. he doesn't reply to emails - yet spent an entire class going over how to email him. Take this class with Teagen.

Locks the door to the classroom the moment he enters and wants you to be there before class begins. That would be okay if he himself wasn't always late. Hasn't replied to a single one of my emails ever, even after talking after class about the issue.

he told me to kms

Worst professor of all time without a doubt in my mind

Raymond likes to say his classes are rated "R" for Raymond. He frequently uses explicit language. On top of that, if he's in a bad mood, he takes it out on people and will stop class, disrespect others, and call them out in front of the entire class.

Doesn't reply to emails, this instructor does not care about you, he is getting his pay cheque by roasting students and using derogatory language in class, no wonder why he doesn't record lectures. I would fire him in an instant if I were the chair.

I am sorry Raymond, but you are not a good instructor at all, the way you teach and ignore student emails is complete and utter BS to me, open your eyes and look in the mirror, if you want your class to improve and especially your student to excel in what you teach, listen to yourself speak and self reflect on whether you are a good instructor.

He has "Education Innovator" in his LinkedIn bio, but uses ChatGPT to create assignments. Besides just copying and pasting assignments, he didn't share a single video, PowerPoint or any material for MARK3471, even with an asynchronous class, you still need to EDUCATE UR STUDENTS. Complete waste of my money. And stop leaving ur students on read.

worst teacher eva. Very negative cynical guy.
