Sheppard's exams are not a fair assessment of classroom learning. The exam used the textbook, which was never used in class. The final was 10 essay questions over 80 minutes: no time to think about answers; he expects you to be a machine when writing his exams. You should expect that his mark will drop your GPA. Avoid if you plan to do a masters.

Have the pre-requisite. Read the articles before class and be prepared to answer questions. Lectures are fast paced but informative so take notes. Assignments must be timely and done according to specified guidelines. Exams are fair once you have done the required readings. Participate & attend classes regularly. Accessible for help.

Although he is certainly a true expert in his field, his grading is brutal and he throws tough questions at the class. Beware that he may confuse what he said in another class (or section) with yours. Unclear deadlines, assignment details, and he doesn't use e-learning. Don't take his class if you have a heavy courseload.

Seriously though, his online lessons are pratically useless. There are no online lessons at all and we were just told to read the textbook. He gives out a 30% paper which requires you to write a 15 pages marketing report which he gave almost 0 guidelines for. It is almost impossible to do and I honestly learnt nothing from this module.

Even though your answer justifies the question if it is not what he would answer then he will mark you wrong and the entire course is based off three tests which he offers no study guide for.
