Helpful if you seek it. Otherwise you're mostly on your own.
Man, this guy hes a total slacker. Lazy. Talks aba the samethings over and over
Well apparently if you're a female you would get an A!
Talks about LARKHILL and His wife and her Boobs on Screen
Marks essays by length not content.
Great Prof, Cool guy, a bit arogant. All you gotta do is suck up to get an A+.

Good teacher. Knows his stuff well.
Very funny guy, helpful and really wants to teach you something new - highly recommended teacher, my fave so far at seneca
great course - learned lots of kewl stuff
good prof
He is a good guy and funny. His tests are some unfairness but his marking is ok. He is really nice prof. He gave some patricipation marks that is a good idea to get it.
I learned something "useful and interesting" every class
great class - explains stuff well
He is a great teacher and you will learn a lot of stuff in his class...BUT OH MY GOSH!!!! HE NEEDS TO STOP TALKING ABOUT HIMSELF AND HIS FAMILT...NOBODY REALLY CARES!
Here is a teacher that tells it how it is. I think he is too qualified 4 this job.I AM GETTING MY TUITON WORTH JUST OFF HIM!!!!
he is always going on about how to make money - which is kinda kewl cause I need some and if I learn anything, it will probably be from this guy
When he says you will learn useful stuff..YOU WILL. This guy is a Mensa gneius! Take his word for everything he says!
learn nothing
best course I ever took, he really knows his subject and he seems to really care about our getting jobs - which is nice cause I owe a lot of $$
This guys knows what he is talking abt...very busy guy but is loaded with information. Learn somethign useful from him.
He is AMAZING!!! I learnt so much from his classes and he is always energetic and has a great story to tell.. If I get a million $ job, I"ll hire you and you can make some dough! YOU ROOCK!
good teacher, but very very bad guys.
He's a very practical teacher. Includes the newest info in his lessons. Im expecting to get and A but oh well, B is fine. He is very clear and also concise.
nice guy, teaches well, not much homework, just read the website
Excellent prof...if you want to make money off a website definitely take his class. Hes a no nonsense type of guy but is humerous and helpful
Amazing Proffesor, chasing the electronic age by it's tail. Pay attention if you plan to start your own business like everyone says they do, go to his class!!!
BEST PROF EVER....sarcastic, funny, and overall great cuz he's not biased towards anyone at all.
unbelievable! He's so rude to the Asian students except Jananese. Teach nothing! Never explain the late. Even no explaination and notice before for the absence of class.
this guy is the wrost teacher which i never met before. taking his class, waste time and money. he is always make student so upset, expect japanese. there is no human right in his class. by the way, he is always late and cancel the class, expect the quiz day.
he is not helpful for the international students, expect japan student(cause he worked there before). Sometimes, he is so rude, and he consider in Canada he is very perfect, so he always talked to students with bad mood.Be careful, when you get quiz, make sure to go to washroom b4 starting.not end
USELESS!!...i pay thousands of dollars for schooling and this teacher can't get off his lazy ass and help the students....he's RUDE and all he does is telling us how rich he is!!..I DON"T CARE!
Nothing to say
He is definetly not a good prof. He does not help students, and has his favourites! Tim is LAZY, and always brags about his money, degrees and his hot wife like for gods sake WE DONT CARE! unfortunately he is the only one who teaches MRK410 so you cant even transfer! which totally sucks!
great course, fantastic prof - but doesn't put up w slackers (evidence by comments below) - tells you real life situations to make money in e-commerce - explains things plainly
He is not bad. Pretty interesting but repeats things a LOT. Also favours certain students...
Great teacher. Pretty easy marker. Remember say something at class, you will earn participation marks. He will give you a 25% assignment, 20 pages' research paper.
Good professor, actually cares about the content he teaches, but tends to repeat a lot of things. Class participation marks should not be a criteria in ANY class though, but I guess it's better than having assignments.
Let's see. FirsT of alL, i think he is a very fair teacher. Second, he knows his stuff and he translates the best way possible. Third, he does care about students because i remember going to him after my quiz marks started to drop. Forth, he gives extra quiz to help you boost your marks. Fifth, Provides exams reviews which most teahers dont.
one of da best teachers i came across in first semester. love his teaching methods, and he is very clear when he teaches! overall an excellent prof, specifically for marketing! =)

great prof, nice person, interesting stuff - what else
great teacher, very funny sometimes which keeps things interesting, his website is very helpful and straightforward, he inspires interest in marketing which is not the easiest thing to do, the text is quite boring at times
Really nice guy, cares about the students
Dont waste your money on the textbook. Not bad prof. Course grading is sketchy.
teacher sucks. grading totally sketchy. all u have to do is suck up. very in love with him self. thinks he is the king of the world and doesn't respect students at all
Professor Richardson is enjoys showing off the fact that he can speak Japanese. Definitely has his favourites in the class. He also does not seem to understand that "effect" is not a verb, the verb is "AFFECT." There are also a million typos on his website. Sadly, I must pay $800+ to listen to this guy lecture.
had alot in common,amazing teacher
nice prof, very knowledgable
explained a lot of kewl tuff about e-commerce - good job tips too
really nice guy, very helpful
great prof, nice person, good career advice
excellent
He has a very informative website, good use of real life example that makes the lecture less boring. Always motivate students to interact with him. Relatively easy-marker and straight forward when he gives out comments and critics
very very knowledgeable of the subject, teaches in a relaxed style - kewl videos on YouTube
Not a good teacher at all! Lazy, late, and huge ego! Doesn't grade things promptly, not helpful, the whole class is a waste of time! And by the way TIM, it is clear you have created some of these ratings, cause you are not KEWL!!!!!!!
good course, good prof - told us interesting stuff about GPS
great prof, very kewlllllllll - he even has some haters he is so kewl, gave me a good tip on a job
great prof - gave great advice on interviews
great garate grayte - anyway you spell it he is GREAT
GREAT TEACHER, VERU INFORMATIVE AND INSIGHTFUL. SHOULD BE TEACHING MORE CLASSES IMO
Most condicending person I have ever met in my life. Always talks about himself and puts people down to make himself feel better and more accomplished.
This prof is such an arrogant person and constantly makes the class feel dumb. He has a huge ego and he makes us watch videos of himself because he is too lazy to teach it again. His website is full of spelling mistakes so I wouldn't be surprised if half of these positive reviews are his own... Do not take his class, you will be disappointed.
fun prof - smart prof - nice prof
ya, i liked this course
Easy prof. He talks about himself a lot, however he is usually doing it to communicate something, and it will likely be on his exam. if you respect him, he respects you.
Tim is a great prof, he marks your assignments with you, which gives you feedback right away, although sometimes it feels like he just gives random marks. Other than that, he is a really easy marker, tells you exactly what you need to do to get an A. Had no tests, just a few assignments, take his class if you want a good mark! Also great website!
goodddd
Very casual and gave good feedback. Knows what he is talking about. Enjoyed his classes.
Tim's class is actually fun if you like to participate. He gives bonus marks for that too. It's a pretty easy class if you attend all of them because he kind of gives you an idea of what to expect in the exam
Amazing Teacher
This professor is not kindly, nicely, awesome. Please do not take his class if you want get above B.
He is OK. Fun classes, some effort to make topics clear, everything you need is on his website. Avoid confrontation and enjoy it.
Awesome prof. Very Relaxed and tells you everything you need to know. Has a great website for studying and no need to buy the textbook. Pay attention and have a good attitude and there is no issue getting an A
Amazing professor, he explains everything in a simple way which makes learning the information interesting and very easy to keep attainable in your head, just by listening in class you can easily do well on his tests, critical info is posted online. Extremely reasonable and down to earth, he truly believes in his students and wants them to succeed.
I took BAM101 (used to be called BUS106) with Tim, and I got an A just by coming to class and listening. Tests are based off of what he talks about in class, and he's got a handy website with all the information on it. I got extra credit for calling him and telling him it was time for class. Overall, very funny and nice guy with a lot to say.
Great prof! Very smart and knows what he is talking about, if you attend class and follow his website you will be fine. very few tests and assignments. Tests are average if you attend class and listen you will have no problem passing.
Tim was a great teacher, his class was pretty easy and he made it easy to relate concepts to real world ! You will enjoy him
Participation is key. He has a lot of insight and experience in the business world and gives real world examples in class. He goes at a fast speed but as long as you come to class and go on his website you will learn everything you need to know for the course.
Really respects his students. Seeing his students succeed is what he loves. Makes very clear examples and lectures, very easy to understand. He relates to the students very well, he understands if you are late to class and if an assignment needs a small extension. 10/10 recommend.
honestly, i thought he was a redneck at first, turns out i was wrong. he is one of the most intelligent and worldly human beings i have even meet. he has over 30 years of real-world exprience. he has the best of lectures where he just talks about whatever he wants and somehow at the end, it had to do with the chapter. you will love him.
Professor Richardson uses current information and relates it to the text. He also uses real life experiences to bring the information to life. He isn't just teaching a course , he prepares you for life! He is a great professor and a great human being!!!!!
This guy is the definition of an OG prof. this guy knows what he is teaching and how to get the best out of you through interesting lectures that make you wanna learn about the course.
Hes great that and hilarious keeps you interested throughout his lectures and dismisses early as well
By far the best Professor at Seneca!
One of the best.
Tim should be rated a 5/5. His lectures are hilarious and memorable, and he grades just as he tells you he will. No surprises, just straight forward. He does not mind attendance, but his tests are reflective of things he mentions in class so I suggest you attend. Super easy A+.
TIM RICHARDSON is by far my best professor. He is practical, respectful, caring, easy going and very lenient. He helps you succeed and gives you the push you need. Amazing professor, very inspirational. He deserves to be rated 5. If you want to enjoy your course take this prof
Only God knows why this professor rating is low. He's more than words can explain. He's amazing, inspirational, and a very easy marker. He care a lot about the student's success. Take him and don't waste you time with what these people are saying about this too good to be true professor. He give participation mark every class once you say something
Awesome professor, the best in Seneca. Take him if you are lucky enough to get him. Don't get deceived by his rating. If you want to get an A or A+ for sure, then take him without looking back. By far the best at grading and inspirations students. Read for exam or quiz & then, show up to write and pass easily. Very straight forward and honest guy.
Very nice and friendly professor. He's kind with grading too and he give lots of marks when you participate in class discussions. Amazing guy, I would love to take other classes with his if I have the chance.
An easy grader. Be sure you participate in class, he will remember that. His stories inspires people, he does not require a textbook!!!, his lectures can be a little tiring, but he is one of the most useful teachers at Seneca. Listen to what he has to say.
one of the best profs ever.. a real inspiration to all his students, Real Gem..
You re extremely lucky if you can get William Richardson. He's usually William Richardson on student center. He's class is very inspirational and I was always looking forward to his class every week. Amazing people person that will teach you what you need to be successful in life and your chosen career. God bless you Tim (William) Richardson.
participation marks, wide range of knowledge, relatable to real world
best prof ever, knows how to reach the class, very helpful with real life tips.
Great prof with the right approach to the teaching. Gives good feedback, awesome lectures full of useful tips
Tim is the prof of your dream, his explanation is clear for everybody Assigment and midfinal is the easiest because he wrote with the normal way not with academic words And all our group love him <3
Great pro , wise man best professor at Seneca college
Classes are an hour long and he shows up 15-20 minutes late, or not at all. Feels like my time is being wasted and my money for the course is going down the drain. Great guy and all, but needs to notify students when expected to be late, and be more responsible for his actions.
Cancels classes often, Teaching style is more of showing videos and telling stories, Not many slide shows. Sometimes I feel like I'm wasting money and time because he cancels class a few minutes after class just started. I feel like I didn't really learn anything b/c of the his absence and I personally don't like his teaching style.
Tim is a pretty good professor. His class was easy and required minimal effort. Although, his website definitely needs an update and he would frequently cancel class, show up 15 minutes late, or not show up at all. Overall nice guy and appreciates class participation- will give bonus marks for this!!
Very good at explaining things using examples
helpful and this is real teacher
He inspires people
Nice professor, would like to take his course again.
An easy professor. Show up and pass. However, you won't learn anything from his teaching. Also, be ready to be confused by his lack of information. Doesn't disclaim assignments due dates properly and doesn't provide a clear schedule. If you are looking for an easy class for a course you don't care about, go ahead!
Just by commenting on his youtube videos you get 20% of your mark. This is an easy 80% class.
This semester Tim was teaching somewhere from woods in Jamaica. His internet sucked he was always late but the course was good. He taught us global marketing and I think we learned a lot. He has his website that you can access even after you finish the course and check it anytime (useful stuff even though it looks like from the 1990s). Overall-good
This was my second time with Tim being my prof, he interacted with the class, tries to make each lecture interesting and very understandable. All the assignments done were in groups and the exams were replaced with assignments instead. Attending class is important cuz that's basically 20% right there and he discusses the assignments in class too.
Easy pass, easy A. You do not have to do much in his class. 20% is class participation marks - very easy to get. The remaining 80% is usually 2-3 big assignments, pretty straightforward. Easiest my favourite prof so get him if you ever have a chance. The only downside is his instructions can be confusing at times
Uses a website outside of Seneca's decide that is difficult to read, harder to navigate, and nothing is straight forward. Instructions are unclear and he is always late to class and then hold students late. Think its time to retire.
An overall very good professor
Teaches useful and insightful information regarding the course and about the real world
If you have a choice, select a different professor!
After reading some of these comments I almost dropped his class, but I'm glad I didn't. If you can get past his outdated website, you'll do great in the course. He gives lots of real world examples, and makes it really easy to understand the concepts of this course. The only thing to watch out for is his instructions can be unclear at times.
Amazing Professor, gives real life examples, knowledge and good grades
He's a great professor who cares for his students- its also really easy to do well in his classes! When my group members ghosted me, he was extremely understanding and supportive.
