First semester in Orem and he started short notice so class was somewhat disorganized. Liked his lectures a lot and made himself accessable outside class.
A little disorganized, but taught valuable information. He cancelled class several times with short notice. This class is heavily centered around a group project that you work on for the entire semester. Heavy on participation. Overall, if you do your work with your group well, you will pass.
You're in a group for the entire semester; Get their contact info. Also, feel free to review his Cambridge reviews for further feedback. This man is a phenomenal educator due to him disregarding the textbook's information for the most part and using experience as a teaching tool. A bit ramble-y, but you can't help but want to listen to him.
He is super disorganized and quite frustrating to work with. Only see him once a week as this is a hybrid course so I emailed him on Canvas and he still has not responded for over 5 days!! Has assignments that say they are due in Feb and March when I am in the fall semester. I am not pleased to be paying money for this man whatsoever.
SERIOUSLY the very best person to be around if you want to grow personally. Teaches with his personal and real experience and what he has learned teaching executive education all over the world. Very engaging course. He is very different from what this university is used to.
Hes awesome and gives passionate lectures. But the quizzes and tests dont correlate with what he talks about in class. The department creates quizzes and tests and they are awful. Lot of in class quizzes.
Professor Schill, in a word is Passionate. He has experience in the marketing field which qualifies him to inspire new thoughts and opinions. He is a fantastic teacher and loves group work. The department requires you read a chapter each week about an hour to read, a quiz every week. Only downside, slow grader and unclear instructions and deadlines
He is really energetic and keeps class fun. There is no issue with him and he is the type of professor you would want to have.
Ryan values participation over "lower-level learning" - such as book work. While there is a quiz from the book every week, but Ryan spends all of his time doing hands on, collaborate projects with the class- and hopes to inspire students developing their own business ideas. He has been very willing to collaborate outside of class also.
Amazing teacher! Super nice and understanding. Classes are super fun and interactive. He is really passionate about what he does and he only wants all of his students to succeed.
Professor Schill is a nice guy, and he is very passionate about marketing. He challenges his students to think and tries to make marketing interesting. Overall, he's a good teacher.
Professor Schill is an amazing professor that helps students get engaged in what they are learning. He really focuses on applying what we learn in the class room to real life situations and emphasizes putting his lectures into practice. Really engaging discussions and fun group projects.
Professor Schill is very passionate about marketing and seeing his students succeed. He's big on "marketing yourself" so that he will remember who you are and he has stayed in touch with many of his past students. I typically appreciate organization which isn't his strong suit but its manageable and his genuine caring makes up for it.
For people that don't love doing group activities, this may be difficult for you. It is very valuable though and directly correlates to real life.
I think Professor Schill is great. It's easy to tell that he is very knowledgeable on the subject and has relevant real-world experience. You are still expected to read the textbook, there is a quiz every week, and attendance is mandatory, but time spent in class is always productive and enjoyable. Would definitely take his class again.
Professor Schill is knowledgable and his classes are never a waste of time. Lectures are well prepared and he adds in real-world knowledge. Take a class from him if you can, you won't be disappointed.
Professor Schill is probably one of the most qualified instructors in the school of business. He brings a lot of knowledge and experience into the class room. He actually cares about your education and who you become.
Really cool guy, honestly such an easy class.
This was an amazing class!! Professor Schill is way overqualified and UVU is so lucky to have him! He really cares about each student and their success and is passionate about what he does. I would HIGHLY recommend taking a class from him!
He is very knowledgable about opening up your own business, but you need to put in the work. You can succeed but he is going to make you wok for it.
Professor Schill is a good teach. He knows what he is talking about when it comes to Marketing. He is very passionate about the topic and wants his students to learn everything he teaches. He wants his students to do well through his class, college, and their careers.
He is a very knowledgeable professor and knows what he has talked about. He has a ton of examples and wants you to be successful. A lot of group work so be sure to get their contact info and keep in touch.
Passionate professor about that works in the field of Marketing. Has a lot of good ideas, and really engages with his students. Promotes a positive atmosphere, along with out of the box thinking. Has you work in groups from the start, so you get to know your fellow classmates well. Business owners will present a problem, looking for a solution.
Ryan is the best professor I have had so far at UVU. He has actual experience with what he is teaching, and puts much higher emphasis on understanding marketing rather than mindless assignments and unnecessary busy work. Lots of group work.
Very passionate and enthusiastic about the subject but also a little bit disorganized- canvas assignments out of order and had the wrong due dates, late to class, held the class up after time. Overall really kind and excited about the subject though!
Prof. Schill is very passionate about marketing and that shows through his lectures. His lectures are engaging and involving. He cares more about you understanding marketing than assignments and exams. There's lots of group work so be aware of that.
Ryan is a great teacher. He is a little unorganized when it comes to Canvas. He often changes due dates. He cares about his students and wants everyone to succeed. He is a great professor.
Has a lot of marketing knowledge. He is very lecture heavy but asks for a lot of participation. You'll be working a lot in groups he'll create, but the work is easy and doesn't take to long to complete.
He is an amazing professor! He has lots of real-world experience that puts things in perspective like not textbook even hope to do.
Great professor. Teaches his own materials instead of the designed course material which can be confusing. He is very passionate about the subject he is teaching and challenges you to think outside the box. Overall one of my favorite professors at UVU; UVU is lucky to have him.
Very easy-going professor with assignments due every week but they aren't very difficult as long as you are assigned to a good group. I enjoy the class!
Professor Schill is very enthusiastic and passionate about marketing. It's clear he is very knowledgeable in his field. Love that he teaches his own material rather than lecture from the text book.
He is a little disorganized on canvas, but a lot of real life applications. Would not recommend as a hybrid class. There is a lot done in class that is very hands on.
Very passionate about the topic and teaches in a way that you actually feel like you are learning something. Classwork isn't too heavy.
He is experienced and knowledgeable, but not organized. He also is not very accessible outside of class and does not respond to messages on canvas forever.
He is a good teacher, but the class feels unorganized for the most part. It is difficult to get ahold of him to get stuff done. He is pretty forgiving when it comes to grades. He doesn't really like grading, he likes to lecture more. Doesn't explain what to do when it comes to group projects.
he doesnt reply to emails often. but he knows his stuff and he loves marketing. he has lots of marketing experience in the field. his lectures are sometimes all over the place.
Ryan Schill is a fantastic professor, I loved his class He was able to really get me to love marketing.
Knows his stuff, his grading and homework schedule is a little bit everywhere.
Great teacher! I would take his class again. He gets you involved every time he teachers which is how I learn better. Take him
Professor Schill is a great professor. He knows his stuff and likes to share about his experiences. He is kind of all over the place with grades and class, but he wants you to be an Entrepreneur and go out and have life experiences. I would recommend taking him.
This professor focuses a lot on Entrepreneurship and innovation. He honestly doesn't focus too much on the homework or the tests and the tests aren't graded very heavily. Every week there are group assignments. His goal is to make the students successful by helping them understand how the market works, and how to be a successful business man.
The professor is very interesting and extremely excited about marketing. He does have trouble fitting everything he wants to teach you within the allotted time period due to required quizzes and other things. I think the quizzes should be done at home so there is more time for his learning exercises in class since I learn more from those.
Really great class, he knows his stuff and really wants the class to get excited about marketing. There is a lot of group work and in class participation but they are worth while.
Ryan is a great professor! He is one of the few that focuses less on points and more on actually making sure we learn valuable information in his class. It does require participation, but it isn't difficult. I would definitely recommend him.
Professor Schill is awesome. He is one of the best professors I've had since I started attending UVU. You can tell He is passionate about what He teaches and cares about the people He teaches. Professor Schill does not care so much about what the numbers on canvas say. Instead, He is more worried about his students being engaged and proactive.
Schill is Chill! he's an amazing professor. I would recommend him if you want to get more out of your education!
Good professor! I really enjoyed going to class and applying what I learned into real-life situations.
Awesome professor! Great to have as part of the MBA program at UVU.
Ryan is an incredible professor with a passion and knowledge of marketing. I truly love going to class each day, and feel as if what I am learning is applicable to my future career. My only complaint is he sometimes does not give enough time to finish group work in class, but he is still great nonetheless. I would highly recommend taking his class!
Whether youre a business major or not, he will make sure you get your moneys worth at school. You will learn a lot in this class. He is funny while teaching in class and will work with you outside of class. Im taking this once a week, so its pretty important to atleast come once a week since the whole class is structured on group projects.
Ryan is an incredible teacher. He really cares about his students and how they apply what the textbook is teaching. The final project includes all of the aspects that were learned throughout the course and you get to apply them to a real-life project. I cannot stress enough how incredible he is. I just wish he taught more classes!
Awesome teacher! The course is hard though, and you will need to read every chapter of the book with a quiz on it every week. But he's super laid back and passionate. He will get you through the class.
Amazing teacher and businessman. He does the minimum required coursework to qualify the class, but if you want to learn, you will LEARN. Outside of a quiz every week, most of what you will do is based on case studies and your own projects (none of which are strictly graded). Getting an A isn't hard. Getting a lot out of the class is up to you.
Prof Schill is a hoot, he's great at what he does, and cares way more about teaching than about grades. However, it is a very unstructured class, so be prepared to structure your own study if you want to remember anything!
One of the best professors I have had in the business program at UVU. He is passionate, and he does everything he can to make sure you understand the subject.
awesome guy wants you to succeed at life
Great guy, really passionate about the course. Not the most organized professor I've ever had, but I actually enjoyed being in classes which is rare at UVU
by far the best teacher i have ever had if you want to learn about marketing this is the guy i am not writing this review as an extra credit assignment i am begging you to be in his class if you take MKTG 3600 it will be the best life choice you have ever made
One of the easiest classes I've ever taken. He made me really care about marketing but the class was poorly structured, it seems like the class was taken from another professor. So many of the students were lost on how to turn in/do assignments. It was a good class, but with more structure it would be an amazing class.
If youre taking marketing 3600 take it from professor schill! He cares about his students, he consistently applies what you learn in class to marketing in the real world, and he is going to push you to be successful.
Uses real world examples to show importance of marking. Lots of in class activities. Lots of group activities. Fun class.
Dr. Schill is very knowledgeable about marketing, and he has definitely made me want to learn more about it. The only downside is that the canvas portion of the class is poorly structured, in that, it is not very clear on when assignments are due because they get changed constantly.
Professor Schill is super cool. He drives home the importance of significant subjects. He gives a bit of work during the class, but it is meant to challenge you to grow. He is willing to talk about improvements or if you need any help in the class. I recommend him if you want a professor who is going to teach you things that you will actually use.
Professor Schill is incredible--by far my favorite teacher to date. We are very engaged in class and he makes the learning fun and easy. I'm not just saying this... YOU NEED HIM AS A PROFESSOR. He is very engaging, very funny, very entertaining, and he is beyond knowledgeable at what he does. 10/10 would recommend.
Ryan is awesome and gets you excited for marketing which made me want to change my major. He is also a good teacher and helps you learn real-world applications.
Professor Schill is an awesome professor. He is so invested in the students in trying to help them actually become something. Absolutely recommend him to anyone.
I've loved having Professor Schill for MKTG 3600. He really knows his stuff and is super excited to share what he knows with his students. His main priority is student success. His lectures are full of good information and also really entertaining. I would recommend him to anyone!
I have only been in his class for about a month so far but it has honestly been one of my favorite classes here at UVU so far. He does a great job of making the class fun and exciting. Also, if you have a question he will not hesitate to answer that question and give you feedback.
Professor Schill encourages personal and group participation more than any other aspect of the class. He does assign weekly textbook readings and quizzes students on those readings. His lectures are engaging and easy to follow, though they don't always feel connected to the readings.
I've never taken a marketing class before, but professor Schill explains the subject so well I don't feel like I have a hard time understand the material. He genuinely cares about his students and is SO excited to share his marketing experience with his students. He makes learning fun! I would highly recommend this professor.
Professor Schill makes each class engaging and fun. He has interesting stories and activities for each class. Even though attendance is mandatory, it is one of the few classes I enjoy going to.
Professor Schill was an awesome teacher to have. He was very insightful with everything that he taught, and he is extremely passionate with how he teaches and what material he goes over, that being topics that he is very knowledgable about. I would definitely recommend his class to anyone wanting to get into anything business oriented.
Dr. Schill has tons of experience in entrepreneurship and Marketing all over the world. You can tell that he knows what hes talking about, and it makes you want to go out and do! There are some quizzes and projects, but everything is tailored to adding value to your portfolio. 100% recommend him as a professor and mentor!
Professor Schill may be one of the best professors I've ever had. He knows his stuff and he shows that he not only cares about the class, but he cares about the students. I didn't know I would love his class as much as I did. He is awesome.
Ryan is a really good professor! He teaches things clearly and gives a lot of real world application for what we are learning. He is somewhat disorganized, primarily with keeping Canvas up to date and correct. Overall he is a great teacher and I definitely recommend him.
Ryan is a really open, friendly professor. He knows his stuff about marketing and does a good job of helping students to think of how to get into the marketing business themselves and how to be valuable to a company. It feels more like life/job experience than it does another random class you have to take. He tries to help you stretch and learn.
This guy is actually really funny, and he is also a very good teacher. Makes class fun and goes out of his way to help students from what I have seen.
Professor Schill is awesome! He engages the whole class and makes learning easy. He wants you to gain real knowledge, not just knowledge from reading a book and taking a test. Great professor
Professor Schill is a great teacher and is one that wants us to succeed in life. He is very knowledgeable on the subject and goes out of his way to help us understand. Class is rarely boring, he is always upbeat and interacting with the class. If you have to take this class, I would take it from Professor Schill!
Professor Schill is an excellent example of what a professor should be in college, he will challenge you to problem solve and think in new and creative ways that are not instinctive. He has very strong scientific and business acumen and makes himself available to help his students succeed!
Dr. Schill is a genuine person. He cares about his students and tries his best to give them real life advice. I have learned so much from him. I wish all classes were as useful as this one was.
Professor Schill always tries to keep everyone engaged. His class is very active and you have to take a stand and make choices. He teaches the material thoroughly using examples and occasionally powerpoints. You will definitely understand marketing better if you take his class.
AMAZING Professor!!
The lectures are really interesting, I feel engaged the entire time. He does a really good job of teaching and not lecturing. Very engaged with the students and honestly has been one of my favorite classes.
Professor Schill is an awesome professor, he really understands marketing. He is also genuinely concerned to help each student succeed in and out of his class. His classes are engaging and fun. There is a good mixture of learning the material in the textbook, discussing real-life applications, and working in groups.
Great teacher. One of the best that I got. His class is one of the only ones that I look forward to go attend.
I really have enjoyed taking Professor Schills class. It was one of my first business classes at UVU and I loved it. He motivates you to pursue your goals in business. You are finding real products to market and sale in other countries like Costa Rica. Your final project with your group is you pitch your product to an investor. Loved the class!
Professor Schill is LEGIT. I'm not even majoring in business or marketing and this is my favorite class this semester. His class is very application based. He doesn't stand in front of you and lecture. He has a conversation with the class about markets and ideas that we can all relate to and understand. He wants us to take this knowledge and use it
Highly recommend Prof Schill in any class. He challenges you, helps you think bigger and smarter, and makes you practice certain skills over and over again until you've got it. He's invested in the success of his students outside the classroom and is the kind of professor you'd want as a mentor throughout your career.
Professor Schill is really awesome. I wish more professors were like him. He really cares about your education and helps you learn and develop as a person. He pushes you outside of your comfort zone. I like how he splits the class into groups and you work with your groups all semester. Really awesome class and professor! Highly recommend.
Professor Schill is a very accomplished marketing professional who incorporates his experiences as a marketer into his lectures and class work. He's super inspirational and really wants the most for his students, professionally and personally. The best quality of Professor Schill is that he is open minded and encourages his students to be as well.
Professor Schill is probably my favorite professor I have had at UVU. He is extremely passionate about marketing, but also about helping his students succeed in every way. This class is very engaging, but it makes it fun! Professor Schill is one of the smartest people ive ever met. You will not regret having him as a professor.
Professor Schill's class is NOT one of those pointless classes where you just read, regurgitate, and get a meaningless grade. He actually teaches you about how the world works. He's one of those rare professors who understands that a lot of times, students don't get their money's worth at college, so he definitely makes coming to his class worth it
Professor Schill is a really cool guy. He cares about his students and wants them to succeed and that shows in his lectures. He does a lot of in-class activities and takes attendance. You do a lot of group work/projects. He gets distracted easily but is super knowledgeable. He knows his stuff!
This class is a must take if you want to learn about marketing. Professor Schill cares and wants his students to grow as people, not just in business. Be prepared to participate because you will be called on. Don't worry though, his class is judgement free and he just wants the gears to start turning in your head.
Ryan is an amazing professor! He is one of those professors that is so overqualified you feel like it is an honor to be taking a class from him. He cares deeply about the students and their learning of the subject matter. He's one of the professors you will be grateful you took, even if you aren't studying marketing!!
Professor Schill is extremely motivational, He is a great lecturer and class is fun each and every time. He isn't always clear on what he expects on homework but overall this is a great class.

Professor Schill is way to over qualified to be here! He is so knowledgeable about marketing. He lectures in a way that makes class fun and go by so quickly!
Awesome professor! Really fun and exciting! He takes the time to teach life principles that aren't part of the course. He is very enthusiastic and passionate which makes the course fun! Would totally take this class again!
Ryan is an incredible marketing person and entrepreneur! He is highly qualified and has a lot of knowledge about his field. I am very inspired by him and the people he knows. From a college class perspective, his organization of it all is often unclear and scattered. Sometimes I leave not knowing which assignments, projects, and quizzes are due.
Professor Schill gives super interesting lectures. I enjoy attending his classes. He's very well educated and has lots of experience in the field so he gave good examples real life experience.
This professor's lectures are great and helps take the lessons and turn them into real world examples that help you understand it better. Theres lots of group work and class work. Attendance is mandatory.

Professor Schill is amazing! He is super knowledgeable and has a lot of experience in marketing.

Professor Schill is incredible. He has a ton of experience in marketing! From teaching at Ivy League School's to helping tons of business's start up their companies, he will teach you what you need to know in the world of marketing.

Professor Schill is one of my favorite professors at UVU. He's super passionate about what he teaches, and he really cares about his students. I felt so pumped and inspired to start a business every time I went to class! Attendance is mandatory and there's a quiz from the book every week, but he values hands-on learning more than the written stuff.
If you are looking to go into marketing or start up your own business then even one class with Professor Schill will put you in the right direction. He is the most knowledgable professor and cares tremendously about his own students. I highly recommend taking him you won't be wasting one minute of your time.
Professor Schill is awesome! He makes class very interesting and engaging. We are always doing an activity or group project. He is very credible, has lots of experience, and knows what he is talking about. He often makes students talk and get out of their comfort zone- which I appreciate.

Professor Schill is a great professor! When it comes to marketing he is very knowledgeable. I always found his lectures to be very interesting and never really found myself bored in class. Pretty much all the assignments are done in groups so you will have to get use to that. Other than that I would highly recommend Professor Schill!
Professor Schill engages his students through team building exercises to help us better understand the fundamentals of marketing. He makes learning fun and exciting. Never a dull moment in his classes. Quizzes are simple and answers come from the textbook and in-class discussions.

He truly cares about your success outside of the classroom, he wants to build strong marketers who can actually apply material into the real world. He goes a step beyond just teaching and gives you the tools you need to set yourself apart in the career field.
Weekly quizzes. Mostly strategic conversation in class. Funny and Nice. Favorite class this semester.
This guy clearly worked in the industry and knows his stuff, you can tell he's not some long time professor who learned everything in a book. If you want to actually learn about marketing he's your guy - but be prepared to acutally participate in class. If speaking in front of a group makes you nervous, get ready to face your fear.
Professor Schill is the best professor I have ever taken. There are weekly quizzes, but he teaches you so much. Best atmosphere I have ever been in. If you take this course from him, you won't be disappointed.
Taking Professor Schills Marketing Class was a need break of fresh air compared to other professors I have had who are not lively at all. The atmosphere of the class is great and I always feel like I come away from the class with something of value.
Professor Schill really cares about his students. He takes the time to explain things with activities and real world application. He has so much experience in marketing that his stories are very influential. He's easy to talk about problems with your grade. He wants you to succeed! The most difficult part are the weekly quizzes. READ THE BOOK!
A super charismatic teacher and very passionate person. Super fun to be in class.
He is a FABULOUS dude! the lectures were super fun and interesting. I don't usually like group work, but the way he structured it was fun and rewarding.
he is a great teacher and has a lot of energy. Make sure you know what is due because he doesn't remind you of whats on canvas much.
Professor Schill is great. He's very enthusiastic and loves what he does. He just wants to make sure that his students are able to learn something practical from his class. A big portion of the class includes group work! I'd take more of his classes any day.
Great professor, really cares about teaching you and having you learn the real world application. Would take him again and I wish He could be my mentor throughout my college experience
Professor Schill is such a great professor. He is really engaging and very funny. He really cares about his students. He wants to help you learn things that will help you in the future and have real world application. I would definitely take more classes by him. 100% would recommend taking his class.
I loved Professor Schill's class! He truly cares where you're going in life, and is there to help you get where you want to go. He has a way of making everybody feel like they are capable of accomplishing the impossible. I especially loved how nearly every class had some type of a hands-on activity because that is when learning really happens.
Prof. Schill is a great. He is so much more than just wanting us to learn the material but to really live it. He will always help you if you have questions and is very inspiring during his class. You wont get bored.
He's great with all of his students and cares more about what we get out of the class rather than a grade. He says don't worry about the grade he'll take care of that rather he cares more about us applying what we are learning to the outside world. Couldn't ask for a better intro class for marketing.
Prof. Schill is awesome! I have really enjoyed his class, I think he does a great job at engaging his students and really shows them real world examples of marketing and explains the subject well. Do not miss class, its free points and points you dont wanna miss. Lots of homework but its manageable. He is always willing to help though when you need
Ryan Schill is chill. He has you work in groups that you stay in the entire semester. HW and group assignments don't take a lot of time. Lectures are really fun and inspire you to think creatively. I would take his class again and hope to maybe work with him in the future. He knows his stuff.
Professor Schill is a great professor. He really tried to get the class involved and you do a lot of fun group activities. You are put in a group that you work with for the rest of the semester. You do a midterm and a final project with them. Professor Shill's lectures are so entertaining and he walks around the class and gets everybody engaged.
Professor Schill has become one of my favorite professors. He is super engaging in his discussions and lectures. He sets you up in a group for the semester that you work with, and is super hands on with his teaching. He leaves the boring stuff from textbooks for homework and class time is all activities and engaged learning. Really great professor.
Great professor. He clearly loves what he does and tries to get his students involved. The textbook isn't too dry and the chapters don't take to long to get through. Overall, a great professor to take marketing from!
I loved taking this class! Professor Schill is really passionate about marketing. His lectures are really interesting and useful. He teaches a lot of important marketing concepts in order for students to be successful in the future. He also gives us examples from his own experience which is super cool. Always willing to help his students.
I really enjoyed Professor Schill. He's way overqualified to be teaching an undergrad class and I'm super grateful to have been able to take this class from him. He knows what he's talking about. He pushes you and is extremely helpful. He genuinely cares about the success of his students. If you have the chance to learn from him, take it!
Professor Schill has easily become one of my favorite professors. Even though I only had the class once a week, he really made an effort to learn everyone's names. He has so much knowledge to share and is so willing to teach it. Participation in class is mandatory; it was draining sometimes but it helped me get comfortable sharing my ideas.
I have loved Professor Schill's Class. He is a super interactive and fun teacher. He involves all of his students in his discussions, and makes every class beneficial. He makes sure you come out of the class with actual knowledge about the subject instead of memorized test answers.
Professor Schill Is in the top three best teachers I have ever had. He is very energetic and is very easy to listen and pay attention to. He is extremely entertaining and knowledgeable. He is definitely not a teacher because he wasn't successful elsewhere, he is very overqualified. Overall amazing teacher and is very willing to help you.
Hes literally amazing so much fun in his class and he has it set up to actually learn the assignments by hands on experiences that he brings and your groups are super awesome and you learn to work well with them.
Professor Schill knows his stuff. His class can get a little hectic with assignments but he always makes it possible. He knows his stuff so well and going to class is actually enjoyable. Get ready for a fun group project trying things you probably never have before.
Great professor. He is entertaining and cares about the subject matter. He is one of those teachers that care's for the future of his students and is trying to help them achieve a higher level of learning than just submitting worksheets for grades. He is overall an awesome teacher and I would recommend taking him.
He is passionate about what he teaches and it shows. He truly does care about the success of students and helps for this to happen. His lectures are upbeat and inspiring. Fun class always! Group work is the key.
Great Professor! definitely one of the best marketing classes I have ever taken! he is supper passionate about what he teaches. Every time you come to class you are always doing marketing and learning new interesting things about marketing.
Professor Ryan is a supper chill person and has a lot of activities during the class.
it is a very nice class
In class participation its very important. Most of the learning in this class takes place out of the class. During class Prof. Schill focuses on the important aspects of marketing but doesn't really cover what is on the weekly quizzes or tests. Overall, the class is really fun and a great class.
This professor is absolutely incredible. So understanding, really gets marketing, explains it in a fun unique way and SUCH a great professor. You're in a group the whole semester. You have quizzes weekly. Really a great class.
The most over-qualified professor I've ever had, and certainly one of the most passionate i have ever had. I would definitely take him again.
The majority of assignments will be completed by the group, and it will take some time to complete it.
Ryan is the greatest professor at UVU. I honestly feel like I learned nothing in actual class but always walked away feeling inspired and uplifted. There are two quizzes every week on the book (he doesnt teach out of the book so theres about 40 pages a week to read) and it gets pretty tedious, but overall a really good guy and great professor.
the most incredible professor I have ever had. He is totally engaged energtic and interested in us. How did our school recruit a world class professor and how can we get more? Feel fortunate to of had the class knowing he could be teaching at the best universities.
Ryan is an incredible professor with an amazing amount of intelligence and experience. He teaches with passion, humor, and clarity. He wants every student to succeed in class and in life. Unfortunately our class was cut short due to COVID-19, but I would still highly recommend him to any student and wish I could've taken more classes from him!
Ryan was AMAZING, so passionate about the subject, and he transfers that energy to you. Pay attention and participate and you'll be just fine, If you miss class often you'll be playing catch up the entire time and he won't be up to help you. Super accessible after class, doesn't answer emails super well but you can just go up to him after class .
He cares a lot about the students' successes. I loved seeing how much he cared about helping his students to launch an idea if they really wanted to. He is definitely not there to just teach, he is there because he is passionate about it and genuinely wants his students to succeed.
Professor Ryan Schill is hands down the best professor I have ever encountered. He is unparalleled as an educator, remarkably kind as a human being, and truly called to be a teacher. Awesome class - take this professor! You'll be infinitely glad you did!
Online this class was not great. If I could have taken him in person I think it would have been better but it feels like the textbook is teaching us rather than him. The McGraw Hill tests are the worst things every since they are randomly generated and come from the tiny book details. Huge group project, but he offers extra credit.
I hear this professor is amazing in person, but I could never recommend him online. Amazingly disorganized and has taken weeks to get back to my messages. He tries his best to make things easy for you, but only take him if you don't have to take the class online.
He teaches from his vast experience. You will learn things that are above and beyond what you might think you will get from this class and you will love how he goes about teaching it! TAKE HIS CLASS! You won't be sorry!
Professor Schill really cares about your success. Make sure to study if you want an A, as the online course can be really tough. The textbook was not awesome, but Professor Schill was. If possible, take an in-person class from him. I think he has a lot to teach and it can be weird to do online courses. He is amazing though and I would recommend him
Professor Schill genuinely cares about his students. Weekly, if not almost daily he would send out an email asking for us to reach out as needed with his personal cell phone included. Grading was clear but you only have one chance on the assignments so take it seriously and try your best. Large group project at the end of the semester.
Professor Schill goes out of his way to create a class that is tailored to the students. For example, on the class river trip, he brought along professionals that counseled and worked with us to prepare our resumes, improve our interviewing skills, and set meaningful goals. Professor Schill will do everything he can to help your professional career
Best class ever in the entire MBA program period. The river rafting trip was all I needed to help boost my confidence because I never been swimming in my entire life. As a businessman, I will get to face a lot of uncertainties and this class will prepare you for it. Professor Schill will help you network and visit tons of businesses here and in CA.
Professor Schill has easily been my favorite teacher at UVU so far. He understands that school is way more than just a letter grade. He doesn't really worry much about the bookwork. Instead he focuses on encouraging you to learn about business in a way that will utilize your skills and passion to resolve a problem. He is super motivational. Signup!
He is very inspiring and optimistic. It feels like an entrepreneurship class. You begin to understand marketing strategies and find problems in products or services. We work in teams all semester finding or developing a product/service and preparing it for real investors. I love it! Real-world experience of preparation and presentation, shark tank
AMAZING opportunity to learn real-life business applications and connect with investors. Professor Schill is phenomenal - by far my favorite class I've ever taken. Great balance between textbook learning and real-life application. I even debated on retaking the class just to absorb more. Highly recommend!
Professor Schill is the man!! It is obvious that he truly cares about his students. He gives lectures that benefit you in the real world. The class design is to help students create a project/service that can pursued beyond this class. At the end of the course you have a chance to present and network with real investors. An AMAZING opportunity.
I left this class feeling ready to take on the world after every single class. I was so shocked that he literally will help you make a product and see investors. I HIGHLY recommend his class, it is by far my favorite class! His class goes beyond the classroom.
I loved taking this from Ryan. He did a great job at centering the class around the real world. Everything I learned was very applicable. He is caring and wants to help. He helps you think of great ideas that you could use outside of class. I would take him again without hesitation. AMAZING professor.
Professor Schill is amazing! He is passionate about marketing and helps you identify and solve problems. This class is centered around group work, and you have the opportunity to develop a product to pitch to real investors. This was my favorite class because you get to apply what you learn outside of the classroom. I would take it again!
Ryan really cares about what he teaches and is willing to help you out if you ask, he will literally do everything he can to help you. He teaches you how to actually start a business from the idea to getting funding. If you have the opportunity take his class. If you show up and put in the effort you will get an A
I loved the format of this class! It was fun, very educational, and I got the opportunity to send an idea I had to real Investors for a chance to earn real funding to pursue it! How cool is that!
Ryan brought great energy to class and I left motivated every single time. It is not very often that a professor cares about their students as much as Ryan does. Getting to have Ryan part of your network and having the opportunity to pitch your business ideas to real investors makes this class worth its weight in gold.
Honeslty one of the best professors at UVU, I don't like marketing but he made it more enjoyable and bearable to listen to. I understand the importance of it better and he has amazing energy. I would highly recommend him and he cares for his students, you have to try to fail his course.
This class was amazing! I have recommended this class to as many people as I have been able to thus far and would highly recommend it to anyone looking at this. You get the chance to learn so much and actually apply that knowledge in hands-on assignments like creating a pitch and putting it before investors.
Honestly one of the best professors at UVU! Great guy, gets to know you on a personal level. VERY interactive and easy/ fun Class. Gives great feedback and easy grader
Ryan paid a student's back due rent and then 4 extra payments as soon as he found out he (my friend) was living out of his car and stopped attending school. Quietly done Ryan is one of the most genuine and kindest people I have ever known. Ryan does not know that I know he paid this and I am now in his class. A proven good person to the core.
Okay my friends. This professor is great and super easy. BUT please be aware this is more of an entrepreneurship class. The whole point of in class is to develop a project to present to investors at the end of the semester and then out of class you have easy homework and tests. Easy class but the project sucks.
I loved this class! It provided great opportunities to interact with investors and apply marketing principles! I learned so much about marketing from this class and the professor made it really interesting and fun!
This class is very easy and he's a very chill guy. This is both the benefits and cons of this class. Things feel a too chill and directionless a lot of the time, but the work is beyond easy and it's an easy class. So if you're okay with the class having directionless classes sometimes, it's a great. It's a very easy class and he's an awesome guy.
This was the best class and professor i have ever had while at UVU. Professor Schill is an amazing guy who cares so much about people and marketing. I would no doubt take a class from him again. I felt inspired after every class.
Professor Schill is such an engaging teacher! He is much more concerned about you actually learning than he is about memorizing terms and test scores. Even if you aren't interested in marketing, his class is one you want to go to and you can tell he really cares about his students.
I love coming to your class. We are very lucky to have you at UVU. I honestly sit in your class marveling and wondering why you are here because you are so talented. But I can't express how grateful I am that you are. Thank you for pushing and inspiring all of us to be better, greater, and kinder. -A thankful student.
Professor Schill deserves a 6/5 rating. He is a seasoned veteran in business and academia who has taught at various prestigious schools. You invent a product for your group project and he is so willing to donate money to help you create it. I'm very excited to take his advanced classes for my graduate work.
In this class you work as a group to create a product and you actually pitch to investors. In the beginning he said our group would be around 6 people max, however my group had 10. Having a lot of people made it hard to find time to meet, however it meant less work each person had to do. Attendance wasn't mandatory but show up for your group.
All teaching was done at home via the textbook. All we did in class was team-building exercises. He expected us to meet with our project groups outside of class on top of the textbook work we needed to do. If you like hands-on, disorganized classes, he's great! If you hate not knowing what is expected of you, don't take this class from Schill.
He is awesome and caring. The only thing I did not like about this class was the smartbook textbook assignments, but many professors have had to implement that into their curriculum. I like how hands-on this class was, most of the assignments outside the textbook were easy group assignments. The final project was a group video pitch to investors.
Professor Schill is one of the best teachers and mentors I have gotten to work with. He applies marketing concepts to real-world scenarios and genuinely cares about his students. He works with your team throughout the semester and provides invaluable connections. 10/10 recommend this professor and class.
Professor Schill does a very good job at making you apply marketing to real life instead of just learning the textbook. This class was almost entirely group work, and he required meeting with your group outside of class. He was a very lenient grader. The only reason I gave him 4 stars is because he didn't always seem prepared for class. Great guy.
Ryan makes classes so fun to be in and is very knowledgeable in the marketing field. All of the assignments in this class were very easy. There are a lot of group projects so if you don't mind then this the best class.
This class is almost a joke... it was easy. He didn't talk abt the hw in class at all, you kind of have to teach yourself. But if you like a professor who thinks hes funny and the classes are super interactive then you'll like him. Theres a big group project but he is super lenient grading all throughout the semester, he doesnt accept late work tho
I want to take every class from professor Schill. This class was a largely based on a group project, but it honestly was good because everyone had to participate and work together. He is a good teacher and makes the lectures fun.
A lot of group work. Lectures during class did not teach me very much at all. The professor seemed unorganized. The final project was never graded, disappointing because we worked all semester on it. Never followed through with what he mentioned for class time in his emails(announcements about extra credit assignments, attendance being taken, etc.)
Professor Schill makes lectures engaging with hands-on group projects. Though attendance is mandatory, the workload feels manageable. For study prep, Unstuck study and the free textbook were extremely helpful.
Product development genius. If entrepreneurship is your goal this is who you talk with at the university. Schill is a fundraising powerhouse.
Funny professor and a very easy A. Like previous comments mention, he didn't grade the final project—very annoying. Don't bother doing it. He's fun but I felt like we didn't talk about anything from the textbook. It's one of those classes where you go home, do the homework, and then mess around in class. Again, very easy A, but I thought it was OK.
I have taken or know most of the professors in the UVU business school and now work here. There are several good options but to make it simple, Ryan Schill (Marketing and Entrepreneurship) and David Waite (Accounting) are your two best and must take professors at the Woodbury School of Business. Period.
I LOVED this class! I am not even a marketing major, but it made me think about it... He is a great at inspiring students and the groupwork was so fun and eye opening while not being so difficult, it just challenged me to think in new ways
He was not respectful. This semester at UVU was hard, and he was not caring whatsoever. Bad teacher, and I wish I could report him to the staff for being so bad.
Loved this class and this professor. I wish he taught more classes. Amazing teacher.
