Professor Simon class structure can sometimes be slightly confusing. However, he is very knowledgeable and an excellent professor. He works well with students and works hard to help students succeed.
This is my second time taking a class with Dr. Simon, and I am not disappointed at all. I had him for MKTG 4120, now I had him for summer class MKTG 4520. Homework is just taking notes over lectures. The exam is written but not hard questions. Overall he is an amazing professor definitely would recommend him to anyone! 10/10
Professor Simon is a great professor! I have taken multiple classes with him and can say that he really cares for the course that he teaches but even more about students. He offers opportunities to correct mistakes and is always accessible outside of the classroom. If you have the opportunity to take his class, I would highly suggest it!
Professor Simon is one of the only professors that UNT has that is more than happy to work with you regardless of the situation. His lectures do very much get to the point and he allows you to view them later on in Canvas for you review. Review the notes because when he says its in the powerpoint its in the powerpoint. love him & kids sweet people.
Professor Simon truly wants everyone to do well in his class. He gives many opportunities for quiz retakes and exam retakes. If you are struggling all you need to do is ask for help.
Professor Simon is an awesome professor who truly cares for each student. You will need to study the PowerPoints and videos for the exams, he also gives exam retakes which is great! Don't hesitate to ask for help, he will find a solution to help you succeed in this class. Highly recommend taking him!
Dr. Simon is an amazing professor who deeply cares for his students. This was my second semester with him. Dr. Simon is challenging in all of the best ways. He wants you to learn. No this class is not an easy A, however, if you dedicate time to this course, which you should, getting an A is very possible. Dr. Simon is my favorite prof at unt.
This was a very easy going class with multiple attempts on the exams. I think as long as you come to class and read from the notes from the professor and watch the videos it will not be hard to get an A in this class. I would definitely take this class again with Professor Simon.
Great Professor! He truly wants his students to succeed and makes it very easy to get an A!
Professor Vinu is one of the best professors I have taken during my UNT education. He deeply cares about the success of his students and will help get you across the finish line. He is always available to help even outside classroom hours. Save yourself the troubles and just enroll in his classes!! (I took 2 of his classes)
10/10 would recommend taking Professor Simon. Don't be scared to reach out to him. Just make sure to read the syllabus.
Dr. Simon is an exceptional professor. He is very supportive and caring towards his students, and his accessibility and willingness to help both inside and outside the classroom are truly remarkable. Dr. Simon is also a fair grader and is happy to meet with students to discuss any questions or concerns they may have about their assignments.
Very fun professor!
Great professor, he really wants his students to succeed! Heavy on lecture, Book is highly recommended, he gives out multiple chances to better your grade.
The professor is passionate and he will teach you good. The only thing I will say that there is not much assignments making it hard to not fail each test. I will say just take notes in class. Over all a great teacher.
Mr. Vinu Simon was a great professor who cared about his students and ensured they passed the class with the deserved grades. Things to know: - Showing up to class is very important. - Reading the PowerPoint and taking notes is key to a good grade. - Tests are all short answer responses but he prepares you enough in class to do well.
Great professor. Cares for his students. Tests are free response so make sure to take lots of notes during lectures and videos he posts on canvas to do good in class.
It was a good class, be prepared in excell
Professor truly cares about you learning the material. Tests are open answer so you definitely have to study. Very passionate and knowledgeable on the material being covered.
I really like this professor. He's one of the best UNT professors I've ever had. He cares so much on your success and will help you if you struggle.
Sometimes the lectures get very long, but he has a good grasp of the topic and is entertaining, so you don't get bored. He's easy to talk to so if you're struggling, he'll help you understand the material better. Exams are kind of hard but you get 3 chances. If you are thinking of taking MKTG 4120, I would definitely recommend taking him.
Dr.Simon has to be one of the coolest professors I've ever had at UNT. His lectures are amazing, and he genuinely wants every student to succeed. He offers many chances on exams and papers. He wants every student to receive the highest grade possible. Do not hesitate to take his classes!
He is a nice professor. At the end of each class, he always ask us if we understand the chapter.
Though he uses a textbook, it is not required for the course. However, I personally felt the textbook was quite helpful when doing assignments for the class. You can tell he really enjoys teaching and knows exactly what he's talking about. The lectures I don't believe are a requirement, but I would definitely recommend attending in person class.
Professor Vinu doesn't give much homework or assignments but the assignments he gives are crucial to study for the exams. He's very understanding and wants you to learn the material, he's open to meet with you if you need to extra help. If you don't understand something he's willing to over explain concepts if needed. I recommend you take him.
Take Pr. Simon!! He is amazing! Very clear in lectures and what he expects in assignments and tests. Take the assignments seriously and they will help you with the test. As well as he is very understanding and wants to make sure you actually understand the material. The textbook is not mandatory but very helpful.
lots of writing but he gives you ample time to complete assignments. Ask a lot of questions during the lectures, Not because they're hard concepts, but because it helps you better understand the lectures and helps with the tests as well. Good class overall!
Professor Simon is the most caring professor I have even had the pleasure of knowing. He's extremely understanding and if you have a problem with anything don't hesitate to contact him. ATTENDANCE DOES MATTER!!! You'll want to attend because his lecture's are engaging and makes you want to think!
Dr. Simon is one of the best professors I've taken. He truly cares about all of his students and wants everyone to succeed. Textbook is not required but I used it for the 4 written assignments. Assignments tie into the exams so do well on the assignments and you'll do well on the 3 exams. No Final and gives retakes. TAKE Dr. Simon !
I've had Prof. Simon for a previous (online) class. He is consistent in what he expects but it is never asking too much of a student to perform well on exams or assignments. He will discuss it, but know that AI is absolutely not allowed to any degree in his classroom, so brush up on your writing skills because all assignments and tests are SAQs.
Professor Simon is a very effective teacher. He is smart and funny, and goes out of his way to ensure his students succeed. If you learn best on your own he produces videos for each student to watch that covers the material and more, but I recommend taking his class in person if you can. Professor Simon makes his student's write on assignments.
Dr. Simon takes great care to ensure students understand and learn the coursework. Be prepared to write a lot for assignments and exams, but it is not difficult if you attend class and study. The book is not mandatory, but I would highly suggest getting it.
He really cares about all of his students and interacts with us. Tests are somewhat tough, its short answer. But attend class and take notes! There are a few assignments and those are also short answers. If you need help go talk to him, he is very understanding.
He would like to answer questions that we want to know. To improve your chances of getting a higher grade on the difficult exam, make sure to complete your assignments, as some of the questions may be based on the assignment material.
Professor Simon course requires effort, but he is approachability and supportive. The textbook is not required, but very helpful for assignments. He explains the material well.
Uses iClicker for attendance. Long lectures but important information and powerpoint are posted to review/take notes later and/or during. Likes feedback and applies it if doable. Not that many assignments but point heavy because so.
Very knowledgeable of his field and great at breaking down complex concepts and making them easier to understand. Cares about all his students success and makes class something to look forward to.
Professor Simon is a phenomenal teacher. He is very understanding and patient with his students and makes his lectures very clear and well thought out. I would 100% recommend taking his class!
Very passionate about subject material and made sure to make a welcoming environment for students!
Very enthusiastic about the class and helpful textbook! I recommend taking his class.
Dr. Simon was so caring and always made sure you had time to complete and understand assignments
Amazing, would take again. Cares about student success. Allows retakes to perfect grades.
Overall, it is a very straightforward class. The professor is very insightful and gives helpful feedback on your assignments. Provides videos of the material needed for quizzes and tests. Just apply yourself a little bit and the class will be easy.
Professor Vinu is an enthusiastic speaker. He is well-spoken and very knowledgeable in this subject. This course has very few grades, so you must attend class and take good notes. He is good at working with you and helping reformulate his lessons to help you better understand. I would take another class with him for sure.
His teaching style is go to class and put the hours in and get an A. It took me like 3 hours at least to study for exams though. Lectures can be hard to sit through but he takes attendance just for showing up. retakes on everything so overall easy if you put in the hours.
Overall great professor and very understanding. You will be fine in this class if you communicate with the professor and TA. Assignments are straightforward and easy to understand.
This professor made things interesting from the beginning of the semester and provided helpful resources to help understand the material.
Professor Simon was extremely kind and always gave great feedback (along with his TA) for assignments. He will also give you more time to work on assignments or quizzes if you need it so don't hesitate if you need to communicate with him. While the class is very lecture heavy, I would not hesitate to take another class with him as an instructor.
Professor Simon will go over everything you need to know for the class assignments. Lecture-heavy, but interesting and will give you everything you need to do well. The professor is understanding and very knowledgeable along with the TA who takes time to give great feedback on assignments that can be applied to exams.
Great professor! Clearly knows his stuff and rarely makes you feel unincluded. Tests are open ended, instead of multiple choice, but as long as you study thoroughly, you should be fine. It's a great class, with video examples of concepts and fun discussions.
Professor Simon is pretty cool and very flexible. The videos are very helpful with the homework and a great study guide for exams. Tests are all open-ended as well as the homework. Doesn't give too many assignments and is open to re-dos. Overall I would take him again.
Prof. Vinu is amazing. This is my second class with him; it's always a great learning experience. Assignments are redoable for full credit. For exams, study videos, PowerPoint, and assignments. He's flexible with due dates and accommodates personal issues. A fun and enriching class.
The instructor's passion and expertise made every session engaging and insightful. The curriculum was comprehensive, covering diverse topics with real-world relevance. Assignments challenged us to apply theory to practice, refining our analytical skills. Overall, it was an invaluable learning experience.
Dr. Simon was one of if not the most engaging professors I have ever had. He made every lecture so worth wile, and would sneak in-jokes that I loved. He used iClicker, which didn't work most of the time, but other than that, the class was great!
Overall great class, prof did give some "lengthy" assignments at times but they mirrored the exams, downside all exams were open ended questions but retakes were available and he is very understanding and flexible with deadlines.
I would say the Professor Vinu was one of the best professors I had because he has the ability to break down the material and explain it, and to top it all of, he is probably the most caring professor I have had so far.
Professor Simon is an amazing lecturer he is very good at giving real world examples to bring home the concepts. He is good at teaching the concepts and he works with you if you have the drive to do good in the course. Definitely want him to teach all my marketing classes.
Professor Simon was one of the best marketing professors that I have had. I will the assignments and exams take a bit of work but so long as you don't procrastinate you will be good. Over all it was a great class and I highly recommend.
Dr Simon is an overall a great professor. He cares a lot about his students and focuses more on helping them learn the information rather than just give them busy work. He is very understanding and will try to help to the best of his ability.
Professor Simon does not require a textbook, but he does have one and welcomes you to buy it if it will help you. He has videos on his course modules that basically summarize the key/main points of the textbook so no need for one. Spend time studying the assignments and you will do well on the tests. Amazing class Thank you Prof Simon!
Professor Simon was a really good professor! He's very knowlegable in this field and enjoys teaching about it! He's also very kind and understanding. He's always making sure we're doing alright during class and gives really good feedback! This class is lecture heavy but the lectures are interesting! Easy high grade if you use his videos to study!
Attendance is important he checks attendence on iclicker. He posts the slides in Canvas but going to class will help a lot. He does not make you get the course book but i highly recommand getting it. He is really nice and wants his students to do good so if something is going on he wil understand and work with you but you just have to talk to him.
Professor Simon was honestly a great professor. I was nervous in the beginning bc his assignments are Witten assignments so theres no multiple choice. However he gives chances to re-do the assignments and lets you know what you did wrong so you can get a good grade the second time. He's vey understanding and actually cares about his students!
Professor Simon extremely invested in his students being successful, and really understanding the material. This being said in order to succeed you do have to be very detail oriented when taking notes, and studying for exams. The grade you receive is determined by what you put into it.
Professor Vinu is a very detailed teacher. He makes sure he gives more information than what is on the slideshow to better understanding. When there is spare time, he allows his students to look into the current marketing landscape (such as AI and other things). There are not many assignments so pay attention!
Prof. Simon has definitely made this semester at UNT my most enjoyable one. For a professor, his lectures were very. engaging as well as his tone of speech was a very welcome change of pace from other mono-tone professors. His speech was very easy to understand, and he was always very understanding to any situation or problem that arose.
This is my second class that I have taken with Professor Simon and I really enjoy the class. He is very interactive with students in class and stimulates your learning experience. The homework is based on the lectures he gives in class and the test questions are from the assignments. Just make sure to study hard and attending class is fun!
This is my 3rd class I have taken with this Professor he is a good teacher. Lectures are long, but he is understanding with EVERYTHING. I would take another class if I could.
Great professor for Marketing in general with interesting and enjoyable examples in the real world. Great sense of Charmisa and it's for anyone who wants to learn any content related to marketing.
The professor was engaging by providing relatable but funny examples of real-world instances involving class subject matters.
The professor was great with real-world, relatable examples. When I had a lot of time-sensitive health issues and concerns arise mid-semester he made sure to accommodate me accordingly.
Fantastic professor - among the best I've had at UNT. Lectures aren't limited to reading from the powerpoint like so many lazy profs at UNT. The slides are helpful though, and posted throughout the semester with condensed voice-over lectures that are tremendous study tools. Professor Simon is a straight-shooter and his class conduct reflects it.
Most of the grades are in the form of open response homework and exams. The class is not hard if you are willing to put in some time.
great teacher works with you
I had a great time in this class because it was intellectually stimulating and it was interesting at the same time. Heavy on lecture but it is fun and he keeps you thinking throughout the course.
Good professor! His exams aren't multiple-choice. They are in short answer forms. It made the class a little difficult for me, but the most amazing thing about Professor Vinu is that he allows test retakes. That has helped me a lot!
Professor Vinu makes this course interesting and you can tell he truly cares about the success of his students. The grading criteria is tough but you have multiple chances to learn from your mistakes and improve. Grading is based on multiple writing assignments and encourages you to actually learn the material. Highly recommend!!!
This professor brought a wealth of knowledge to the class, covering a multitude of concepts. His commitment to teaching and enthusiastic approach effectively captivated students' attention. He provides excellent examples and goes the extra mile, even guiding students on selling tickets, a gesture I truly appreciate.
Great Teacher! make sure to do the assignments assigned and make sure to study for all the tests and use the textbook to your advantage!
Amazing professors, he really cared about his students success. The exams are word for word exactly like the assignments. If you show that you care then he will work with you through anything.
Professor Simon is a great professor. He truly cares about his students.The class is all writing so you really do need to have true understanding of the material to perform well on the assignments and tests. Gives extensions of assignments to his students. He really wants you to learn the material and do well in his course. I would take him again.
This class was definitely lecture based heavy, but the professor added everything he talked about in class online. it wasn't heavy on assignments, but every assignment counted for a big chunk of the grade. Attendance was mandatory, but the lectures were always good and he made it more interactive to keep everyone engaged. Would take this it again!
Definitely lecture heavy but he goes off topic. He does not answer a question in a simple way, he overly explains to the point where you don't understand. Few assignments but they are worth a big chunk of your grade.
This professor is the very first one I'm writing a rating for. In the time that I've been in his class I have enjoyed every moment of it. He's an amazing professor with the drive to teach and cares about the course he's teaching you. All I can say is you won't regret taking his class.
Prof. Vinu is a great and understanding teacher. If you have questions he will answer them clearly. He allows you to retake the first quiz to get a better grade. The class is lecture heavy and involves a lot of writing on assignments but if you do the work you will get a good grade. Overall great professor, would take his class again for sure.
He is an amazing professor. His class is lecture-heavy, and he takes the time to explain each concept in a good way. His assignments are lecture-based. His exams are honor-locked with the same questions from the assignments. TAKE HIM! No regrets.
Great professor! Lectures are very helpful, and the professor's usage of examples helps in the understanding of the material. Notes are crucial to do well on assignments. Professor Simon cares about his students and gives extensions on assignments when necessary. While assignments are time-consuming, they are helpful for exams.
Dr. Simon is a great professor, he is super understanding and always open to help. He will even go out of his way to check up on students. His classes are pretty lecture heavy but that's because he makes sure to explain concepts throughly. If you're someone that actually wants to learn and expand your knowledge in marketing, he's a perfect fit.
During my time taking this course I realized that this teacher wants to make sure you understand what he is teaching you. Keeping up with your notes are important and watching the lecture videos also helped me retain the information and helped me better understand what was being taught in the class.
Dr.Simon is a great professor, dedicated to marketing and his student's success. His written assignments and exams may take time, but he offers multiple attempts for both, providing opportunities for grade improvement and a deep understanding of the material. He's supportive and understanding, always willing to help students succeed!
the class is lecture heavy but the lectures are fun easy to follow. You will write more in this class than other classes but Prof. Simon gives you a million chances to resubmit homework and exams to get the best grade you can. The class is difficult but with the multiple chances to resubmit every assignment you shouldnt have a problem getting an A.
Professor Simon was great. He truly cares if you are learning and about your GPA. With that being said, while there are multiple attempts to submit assignments this class is not an easy A. The first two homework assignments are the most heavy, but if you can get over those you should be ok. Exams are open-ended. Definitely go to lectures!
I took this professor for MKTG 3660 Advertising Management. Overall I enjoyed this course. The assignments can be time consuming but really help with the quizzes. The material given in the lectures is very clear and is cohesive with the assignments and quizzes. You have to work for it but is not that hard to receive an A!
professor simon really helps you if you need it. he helped me a lot when i was struggling to figure out some things and followed up with me to constantly make sure i was happy with his teaching and with the class. he is a great professor, you need to put in the work in this class, but it teaches you so much more to put in the work!
Dr.Vinu is a wonderful professor who truly cares about his students. As long as you take good notes, and show up, you will do just fine!
Professor Simon's class is set up differently than most. It consists of a few assignments and tests that are all writing based. He gives multiple chances to do assignments and tests, which gave me a higher grade in the class. This isn't a class you can BS through, but it helps you learn. He also has videos to look back upon, which I like.
Dr. Simon has been extremely helpful this semester. Yes, his assignments are pretty word-heavy but with all honesty, they really do prepare you for the quizzes. So as long as you put in the work you'll get a good grade. Dr. Simon is also pretty understanding and will do whatever he can to help you succeed in his class.
Amazing. This upcoming semester is my 3rd time having him and I have zero regrets whatsoever. Long classes but he makes the lectures enjoyable and funny.
If you need time to understand the material the professor would take his time and explain it. He is very easy going and I highly recommend taking his class.
His class would be writing only but if you go to class and went through his instructions you will be fine, even if you are not a good writer he can turn you into ones.
TAKE THIS CLASS! Dr. Simon is an exceptional Business Professor at UNT. He teaches from an esteemed educational background and extensive real world professional business experience. Class is primarily lecture based, but he provides great slides, notes and videos to elaborate conceptual understanding. His class has been a great learning experience!
Goes over fundamentals, can seem a bit slow paced at first but he makes sure that everyone fully understands, and will take time for 1-1 if you need. Funny and really cares. The hw load is light, lecture heavy. Hw feedback is really helpful and he lets you do them again for a higher grade. Exam uses same questions from hw.
If you get the chance to take Pr Simon take him!!! His lectures are always really interesting and he does an amazing job with connecting materials to real world examples. He only has a couple assignments but it helps you tremendously on exams. He also gives multiple chances on assignments. So take Pr Simon!!
At first I thought this course was going to be difficult but it gets way better through the semester. There are only a few assignments/tests but he does retakes on most things. The lectures are very good and I learned a lot with how he pairs the lectures and assignments. The class is pretty writing heavy but gives really good feedback for retakes.
Dr.Simon is a very good professor. Assignments & exams are in written format. Study assignments well for exams. He also provides video lectures. Listen in class and watch videos for good grade. He allows multiple attempts for submissions. Assignments require detailed explanations, but in exams direct answers are fine. Learned a lot from this class.
I enjoyed Professor Simon's class. To get a good grade do the assignments on time and make them detailed and in your own words to show understanding. The quizzes are similar to the assignments but demand fewer details. He is willing to help and is very reasonable. Don't take this class if you're not looking to put in any effort!
At first, the concepts can be difficult to grasp and trying to figure out how to answer homework questions is hard. However, he allows multiple resubmissions. If you go to the lectures and ask for help, it will make the transition easier. The class becomes easier as the semester progresses. Study the assignment questions for the short answer tests.
Professor Vinu is an awesome professor because he is passionate and really makes sure you understand the material. If you pay attention to his criteria, the lectures, and the supplemental videos you will do well every time. I have taken his classes before and his teaching style helps me to understand rhe material so much better than any other.
Dr. Simon is a very good professor. At the beginning of the course, he is a harsh grader and gives too much work. However, it got better as the course went on and he began grading things easier and giving us more opportunities to improve our grades. At first I did not like this class at all but it got better as the semester went on.
Professor Simon's class was very self explanatory, you show up to class you do the work and you do good. The course was lecture heavy but the professor was lenient and gave extra credit because he wanted everyone to succeed. Definitely would recommend this professor.
Very assignment heavy but he really wants you to succeed and get an A in the class. He starts the course tough but it's for your own benefit! Very good lectures and great content.
Exams are open ended but grades pretty easy but its very helpful for learning the materials. Really passionate about the subject and flexible with assignment turn in dates.
Professor Simon is a very successful marketer. He is flexible with deadlines if you talk with him and he gives opportunity to retake assignments. Attendance is graded. The only negative about his class is it is very lecture heavy. I would definitely recommend his class. You won't regret taking his class.
I would definitely take his class again. He is very caring and actually listen and to his students. Everyone that says that he is harsh just doesn't like his teaching style. All you have to do it put the effort into his class and you will do perfectly fine. The assignments are lengthy at times, but they are %100 correlated to the tests.
Dr. Simon is a great professor. He does not give out many assignments. He gives us a lot of time to work on our assignments and quizzes. Overall it was a great class and he was always willing to work with you if you need extra time to work on an assignment. I highly recommend taking this class. I plan on taking any other classes he offers.
While MKTG 3660 definitely comes with a heavy load of content, it is easy to succeed if you stay on top of your work and just listen/communicate with the professor. Professor Simon was constantly working to engage the students in the course's content. He is funny and well-informed, and I 100% recommend him as a professor.
The homework assignments and tests are a bit difficult because they are both open-ended essay questions. The homework is very tedious so you shouldn't do it last minute or all in one day because it will take you hours to complete. However, the professor is very understanding and accommodating. He will give you more time on assignments if you ask.
This is a good course and a good professor. Be prepared to listen and to effectively write about topics in your own words. This course requires work outside of class for assignments, but the professor is willing to help and allow for resubmissions.
If you're not used to writing things in your own words or short sentences exams, you might struggle, I wasn't nor was I good, but this professor really does anything to help you pass the class. He gives you multiple chances, good, semi-long assignments, and maybe he'll make things more easier towards the end. TAKE NOTES & PUT EFFORT ON ASSIGNMENTS
Professor Simon is amazing! This course is lecture heavy, but Professor Simon does an amazing job explaining the concepts and providing useful examples. The first few assignments may seem a overwhelming, but he allows multiple attempts and provides clear feedback for every attempt. As for exams, as long as you complete your assignments you are set!
This class is a must for a marketing major; You will learn so much! Showing up to class is mandatory because the lecture is so important, you learn so much. You will learn a lot more by attending. There is a lot of writing, BUT it will benefit you in the long run. It starts off hard but it becomes easier as you go! He is so understanding, I promise
An A is absolutely attainable, but I will not be getting one :( 5 assignments & 3 exams. At first, assignments are long and graded hard, but they get progressively easier. Strict on similarity reports and uses lockdown browser w camera. Hard but really EMPATHETIC. LOTS of second chances and bonus points. Lock in and do the work and you'll do well.
Dr. Simon is a great professor and really cares about his students. The lectures and presentations are simple, straightforward, and very useful for assignments and exams.
It is a good course and is only difficult if you do the work last minute.
This Professor at First would defenitely be seen as a tough grader, but the course defenitely gets easier. He is very understanding towards his students. If you need an extension just ask. He is open to suggestions and I feel that overall he is a good professor and I would take him again. Just buckle up cause it is not an easy class.Just work hard!
Professor is caring about his students and allows for multiple attempts on assignments and exams. First assignments were brutal in terms amount of questions and the grading. Exams are free response, lockdown browser, camera and your computer screen is recorded, and 4 hour limit to take. A lot of info is discussed so it's important to study well.
Dr. Simon is the most caring professor I have ever had. He wants to make sure you succeed and is flexible to meet your needs. There is some writing but I've learned so much in this class. He allows retakes on all tests/assignments and the course gets easier after the first exam. I will be taking another one of his classes next semester.
Assignments are very writing heavy, but good feedback is given and resubmissions are allowed. Doing them can really help with understanding of new concepts. Attendance is recommended because lectures are engaging and ad libbed examples help with visualizing concepts. Professor Simon is very willing to work with you outside class if you need it.
Professor Simon is great! At first he gives tough assignments that require a lot of writing, but it gets much easier as you learn the expectations. He is personable and accommodating to student's needs. At the beginning of the semester, I thought I would suffer in this class, but it really isn't that bad after a bit. Just take lots of notes!
Professor Simon was a wonderful teacher. The first assignment seems difficult, but you will improve your writing skills immensely. The class is pretty much entirely lectures and tests. He makes sure to reach out to students and keep us informed about upcoming assignments or notifications. I appreciate that he offers alternate explanations.
One of the best professors that I have had in my time here. You get what you put into the class; hard work and studying the video lectures will provide you everything you need to pass. The professor was available to communicate nearly all hours of the day, and very knowledgeable about the material. He used great analogies that everybody understood.
This course requires initiative from your part in order to succeed. The professor provides multiple resources to ensure that his students actually learn the material. Pay attention during lectures, watch the review videos, and do your assignments! They will help you pass the exam with ease.
Although it has been a more difficult class than I expected, he is very lenient regarding due dates and allows two attempts on homework and exam/quizzes. It's all essay-response, but he gives feedback and it isn't excessively difficult. It does take a while to complete, though.
He has a good personality and is open to share his mind with his students.
Very nice professor and the content is not difficult at all. He prioritizes the mastery of content which comes in the form of short answer assignments and exams which can be daunting. Just be prepared to set aside time to study and complete assignments, those are essential habits for passing.
Very enthusiastic professor. Take this professor if you are interested in Marketing, you will learn a lot. At some points the assignments seemed to be too long and too hard for the TA to grade. About three 15-30 question paragraph answer assignments that range 10+ pages and that for 80 students is a lot for the TA.
He is great professor and gives great feedback
Really great professor! Felt that I learned a lot of the material in the class. Be sure to study because his exams are tough, but he is lenient and offers plenty of extra credit.
Great Professor, however he gives a lot of writings to do.
Great professor! The assignments do take a while to do but he lets you redo assignments and exams!
He is a really caring professor and wants to make sure you succeed. He gives plenty of opportunities to increase your grade by allowing multiple attempts on assignments and extra credit. All of his assignments and quizzes are written so be prepared to write (type) a lot.
This class will definitely put you to work because of how long each assignment is. However, they are far and few in between, and he allows multiple attempts on literally every assignment and test. He will provide feedback for assignments and as long as you correct them, it's an easy A. He cares a LOT about making sure you pass.
Going into this class is intimidating. The syllabus feels sparse, there's no textbook, and the first assignment feels harsh. However, I feel like I learned much more from this course than others outside of my major. The assignments get easier over time, and Dr. Simon is obsessively responsive. Would 1000% recommend, especially for marketing majors.
This class is definitely heavier than others in terms of writing assignments. There aren't a whole lot of assignments, so you want to do good on them. Dr. Simon is extremely flexible and understanding, he provides really engaging lectures and great supplemental materials. As long as you come to class and play attention you can easily make an A!
Class requires a significant amount of effort, there are numerous written assignments throughout the semester. While the workload may seem daunting, he does offer retakes. The expectations can be somewhat unpredictable, he has a tendency to change things frequently. The class may be challenging, it offers opportunities for improvement and growth.
This professor is great! I highly recommend him as he provides all tools necessary to succeed. From multiple submission attempts on assignments to helpful feedback, his main focus is to ensure that all students understand and process the course content properly. Just be sure to attend class for credit and review the slides!
Professor Vinu engraves a deep understanding of course theory into his students.
Dr. Simon is a great professor, he's super understanding and is always open to help. He will even go out of his way to check up on students. His lectures are quite heavy but that's because he makes sure to explain every concept thoroughly. I would say if you are a student who actually wants to learn, he's a perfect fit.
The class becomes easier towards the end of the semester. All assignments but the final exam are essay format, which I found more meaningful than usual quizzes. The professor gives great feedback and encourages to resubmit your assignments for a better grade. I would recommend this course if you like to write and want to understand marketing.
The class becomes easier towards the end of the semester. All assignments but the final exam are essay format, which I found more meaningful than usual quizzes.

Dr. Simon's class has been the most writing heavy class I have taken thus far, I dreaded it at first but my writing is so much better now. You need to put effort into going to class and studying outside of class. He encourages you to redo assignments as many times as needed until you get a 100. The class gets easier as you go don't stress!
Professor Simon has been wonderful. You can tell he cares about the students and their learning, and gives opportunities to facilitate the learning above all else. He has been flexible, and communicates frequently with the class. I loved that he was present in our class GroupMe to answer questions, and always asks for feedback.
Dr. Simon is a great professor. His teaching style is above average. As someone who commutes near 2 hours to campus each semester, he is one of the few professors that I never regret coming to class. The course is heavy on the lecture and writing(!), but Dr. Simon is very reasonable. The first assignment is unpredictable but it gets much easier.
This class was very easy and straightforward. Lectures every single day. Attendance is extra credit. He gives 2nd attempts compared to other teachers. He wants all students to succeed and get an A. As long as you pay attention and take notes of his lectures you will be fine.
He was really understanding and helpful in all honestly would take his class again, and would refer him to anyone who is taking MKTG 3650 in the future
I have found the class fairly difficult towards the beginning of the semester, as many of the core concepts are presented all at once. Completing the homework and quizzes at the beginning is also fairly difficult as well. The professor does give plenty of changes to improve your grade so you can prepare for the exams well.
All the assignments and exams for the class are short answer format. Professor Simon is a fairly difficult grader. While both of these things can be quite frustrating and time-consuming, it really forces you to learn the material well and I have come to appreciate it. The start of the semester is the hardest, but if you persevere you can succeed.
This class has been great. Throughout the semester, you will have several open-ended assignments. This does require a lot of studying and time, but there are many bonuses offered.
The overall class was amazing, and the content was actually useful, unlike most of my college classes. I would recommend him to anyone I meet, he is an amazing professor who actually cares heavy workloads about his students and their grades.
He was a very good and elaborate teacher. He explained all of the content very well, but it was most definitely up to you to go back through the information to ensure that you understood the information. Overall, he gives multiple tries on all assignments, so it it very difficult to fail this course.
Pretty easy class and you will actually learn a lot .
He is an amazing teacher with great lectures. I highly recommend attending class and don't miss it because you will be lost! The assignments were a little difficult to come around to but doing the assignments will bring so much comprehension of the concept. Overall, I would highly recommend taking this professor as he is caring for his students.
Everything you need to get good grades on exams and assignments is provided on day 1 (or after the respective lectures).
Some challenges in beginning of class, became easier. Assignments are information heavy, so can be difficult to grasp, but the feedback that is given helps you to make good changes that help with comprehension of content. Prepare for lockdown browser + webcam exams. He allows you to retake exams in order to better prepare and show your learnings.
This class was very difficult for a non-marketing major & taking it is not advised unless you're one. Tests are online on a lockdown browser, closed note, & short responses. Assignments are difficult, sporadic, and attendance is mandatory. The professor himself is nice, informative, and is reachable for help when needed.
This class can seem daunting initially, but it becomes so simple as the semester progresses. The assignments and quizzes might seem difficult initially, but the professor gives his students plenty of chances to make them up. You can tell that the professor truly cares about his students and their success in this class.
Professor Simon is a wonderful instructor. His teaching style is unique and somewhat intimidating at first, however you will adjust and thrive in his course. Attendance is mandatory. Homework assignments are quite lengthy and detailed but due dates can be flexible. He truly cares about his students and wants them to do well.
He's a decent professor. His lectures can sometime be a bit boring. He does a lot of talking. However, he's always giving really good examples about the subject. Lecture slides are available. There are few assignments and the tests account for a lot of the grade. And they're lockdown browser. But the exams are open for about a week.
He is a good professor and answers any questions you have, but be prepared to do a lot of writing. All the exams are in short answer format and there are other writing assignments too. There are plenty of extra credit opportunities, so that can help boost your grade.
He's an amazing professor who cares about what he's teaching. He's great at given you a heads up about work that's coming up or exams that you need to study for. His work load is fairly decent, but it isn't super difficult so you should be fine. I recommend taking this professor whenever you can, because that how good he really is.
All of the assignments/exams are short-answer but its not as bad as you may originally think. The assignments are weighed as much as the exams and have multiple attempts to adjust your work. As long as you attend the lecture and take notes over his ppt lectures, you should be fine. Very lenient, caring, would take another class with him again.
Lectures are interesting , but assignments and quizzes are all free response.
Attendance is mandatory, but class is very informative. Discussions instead of just him reading off the slides. The professor provides videos that go over lectures which is useful for assignments/studying. No multiple-choice tests/assignments. Dr. Simon wants you to learn but also have a passing grade!! 100% would take for any mktg class.
Professor Simon is great! He is very understanding and will work with you if you have any issues or concerns. Class lectures are very informative as long you take good notes and put effort into your assignments exams will be easy.
great professor
I really liked Professor Vinu; he actually cared if you learned and was very understanding. His exams and assignments are short answers, so be prepared to write a lot and take lots of notes over the lectures. The first couple of assignments are hard, but he and his TA give good feedback, so you are able to learn from your mistakes.
Dr. Simon is extremely lenient on assignment deadlines and is always looking to give his students enough time to turn in good, quality work. His notes/lecture slides are really helpful, as well as the lecture videos, and the way he explains them is also nice as he uses a lot of real-world examples.
This professor is easy going and would highly recommend taking him as he lets you retake assignments, tests, and quizzes for full credit even months after the initial due date as he is very caring and understanding, plus he is very passionate about the topic he teaches as shown in his lectures.
I enjoyed this class very much! At first it seemed overwhelming since a lot of assignments are free response, but he takes the time to make sure that his students can fully grasp the concepts and gives plenty of opportunities to retake tests and redo assignments. If you follow the feedback you get back and attend lectures, you will get an A.
OMG BEST PROFESSOR EVER. PLEASE TAKE THIS MAN AS YOUR MKTG 3650 TEACHER. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!! He was so kind, and super flexible with due dates. The workload only had 2 exams, 6 HW and 1 final but wasn't hard. I would for sure take him again without a doubt.
He is vested in making sure you understand the material, passionate about teaching
I expected this class to be hard but with the help of the professor and the lectures most of the time explanations were given in class and feedback was given on assignments which helped steer me in the right direction! would recommend taking this professor!
The beginning of the course is very overwhelming, however the professor gives you feedback and allows you to re-submit assignments. The grading and assignments get easier after the first exam. All assignments and midterms are open ended questions except for the final. The professor genuinely cares about his students and wants them to succeed.
Professor Vinu wants to make sure that you are actually grasping the information during lectures so, There are weekly written assignments that are very time consuming, but it gets easier towards the end.
The professor really want students to learn and wants to make sure everyone understand. He provides many examples during the lecture time. If you join the GroupMe and ask a question he is very quick to respond.
You can see how much the professor likes to talk about consumer behavior and that he really want students to learn. On the GroupMe if you have a question he responds super fast and tries to make sure that you understand. He makes videos that we can watch after class that explain things even more than he does during the actual lecture time.
He is a very reasonable man. He teaches with passion and is extremely gracious when it comes to assignments and exams. I enjoyed his class and would take him again. I highly recommend you take his class.
Good Teacher
This class was about as straight-forward as you could get. Show up for lecture, listen, take your notes, and you will be asked to return it for the assignments and tests. The lectures can vary between engaging and a little tedious, but I would easily say the majority were interesting. Complete and review your assignments, and you'll do great.
Other than him giving written answers for exams and essay assignments, he is a really good professor that cares for his students and does really well in helping students learn and understand the material. He also gives AMAZING reviews for the exams so you don't have to worry too much about the exam being written answers.
Great professor and gives great feedback. Gives multiple chances to turn in late assignments. Lecture heavy so for sure attend his class. Expect assignments to be extensive writing wise.
Class starts off very difficult, he front loads the class so that it's harder in the beginning, but the class gets easier as you go. Make it through the first month or two and you're golden.
This professor is hands down the best professor you can take throughout your marketing classes. Yes the essay exams are long and tedious, but you will learn more in each class you take with him than anyone else. Hilarious and able to explain everything amazingly, the long 3 and a half hour classes go by easily. 15/10 rating
A great professor who truly cares about making sure his students understand the material. It is a pretty lecture-heavy class so attending class is very important. Expect a lot of writing. However, he does let you rewrite your work as much as you want to get a good grade. if you can attend class, write notes, and do the assignments you'll be fine
He makes sure you learn the material by challenging you in this class, it's a good strategy that not a lot of professors do.
Such a good professor and has humor. Pretty lecture heavy class so attending is a must! Easy to work with and very helpful, so reach out.
Professor Simon was the best professor I've had during my two semesters at UNT. He is very flexible with due dates and also very knowledgeable in the subject. He explains the class material well. There are only 7 assignments and 3 quizzes including the final quiz, each quiz is a big part of your grade (20% each, 60% total). quizzes are lockdown.
Great professor. Very knowledgeable of his subject and seemed to really care about his students learning. some assignments were quite challenging but they definitely helped me on the exams and actually retain the information.
His exams are all free response and same with the papers. It was difficult the first few homework assignments but he gave us several opportunities to learn and redo some of our assignments and our first exam. The assignments get easier and everything is completely free response. This class really made me feel like I learned something.
He explains his material very well and everything that is on the PowerPoint is on the exam. Would take him again!
Everything is free response so there is no multiple choice at all (assignments, exams, etc.). Because of everything being free response, there is A TON of writing. Exam questions come directly from the assignments. Lecture heavy so you need to go to class. Love the professor because he works with you and gives 2-3 attempts for everything.
The assignments are pretty difficult, but if you use the lecture notes they help so much. The exams are also difficult but honestly if you study the main objectives from the lecture notes y'all will do just fine. The professor makes class interesting and he wants you to succeed and is wiling to give an extension if necessary. Highly recommend.
This class is a very good class. There is about 5 writing assignments. He makes the class more of a free response and opinionated class so you're easily able to pass. The exam questions are directly from the assignments and he also gives students multiple attempts to correct assignments for a better grade.
I think this prof was super interested in seeing his students develop deep understandings of the course material. I was taking this class for a marketing degree and this class by far taught me the most about my respected field. I would recommend this professor; as he is very smart and entertaining.
Professor was very interested in the growth of his students. He creates assignments that will really test your understanding of the material and he was a understandably harsh grader. When in class be sure to take notes later and just listen to the class cause he likes to make the lectures more conversation based to include the students.
Although some assignments are long, you are given multiple weeks to complete them and are given multiple attempts to get a higher grade. The feedback given is good, so you won't be in the dark on why you got a grade. You can really tell he enjoys teaching and wants students to succeed. It's an easy class, you just have to actually do the work.
This course is difficult the first half of the course. There is a heavy focus on writing in the class. Every test, quiz, and assignment is open response. The only multiple choice test will be the exam. Professor is very nice and is a good teacher. If you enjoy writing like I do over multiple choice quizzes and exams this is the class for you.
Dr. Simon is the best, he is truly willing to work with you if you put the effort into the class. Assignment may be overwhelming in the beginning, but Dr. Simon allows multiple attempts with great feedback. His exams are free response however with a time limit of 6 hours, so you can take your time in order to perform best on them.
I had him for Global Marketing and Consumer Behavior courses, and I have enjoyed his lectures. He is good at engaging his students. The big thing is that he will work with you if you miss something and have a genuine reason, If life gets you, he will help you out. Highly recommonded. He will prepare you well for the exams.
Great
the first two assignments were very tough but once we knew how he wanted us to write and do the assignments the class was very easy, and the class is very interesting because he uses personal expericene
Great Professor! The class requires a lot of writing assignments, but you are able to complete them until getting your desired grade. Attendance is mandatory, but if you show up and take notes it will prepare you with all you need for the exam (which also includes a review). He is also very understanding and willing to work with you.
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR IF YOU DON'T LIKE TO WRITE. I wrote a total of 75 pages for this class (6 assignments combined). He gives you 2-3 attempts for assignments and exams which is nice. The professor himself is understanding and is willing to work with you. Requires a lot of your time but I will use the stuff I learned for the rest of my life.
Early semester is rough due to obnoxious assignment lengths (35+ written response questions) and nitpick TA grading. However, he lets up after the first exam and the course becomes much easier. Lectures were fine, a lot of filler and over explanations but that might just be me. No multiple choice, all written responses on assignment and exams!
I had him for Global Marketing and Consumer Behavior courses,and I have enjoyed his lectures.The big thing is that he will work with you if you miss something and have a genuine reason, If life gets you, he will help you out. Engaging classroom, lots of extra credit opportunities, he will do his best to have you pass his class with an A.
I really recommend this Professor, He cares about you Passing the class. email him when you are facing any difficulties. Trust me he will work with you until you are back on track. He is very understanding.
He is passionate about teaching the course concepts and wants students to do well in his class. He will work with you to help get the grade you want. Long lectures + lockdown browser exams
Professor Simon was great! He was very caring about our grades and how we were doing in the course. He is AMAZING about responding to messages promptly. This class is a fast 5 week course but it is easy to get everything done on time. Make sure you study your assignments for your exams. Highly recommend taking this class if it is in your major.
This professor communicates very well with the students if any questions should arise. On top of this, he provides multiple extra credit opportunities to help the students further. He provides lecture videos and PowerPoints to follow along with. I highly recommend taking this professor he is very professional and helpful.
Simon vinu very clearly wants to help students pass. He is objectively a caring professor. His syllabus lacks details. Some of his quizzes are confusing and or lack instruction. Overall the class was okay. Lots of lectures.
Professor Simon is a great professor! He is very caring and easy to reach out if you had any questions or concerns throughout the course. I definitely recommend him!
Overall this class was good for a summer course. My only issue was the due dates of the assignments being all on one day, causing students to procrastinate doing them (myself included). I also found it difficult that there was no study guide for the exams and little to no information on what would be on the exams.
Professor Simon is the most accessible professor I've ever had he even creates a GroupMe to be able to answer questions faster. Quizzes and Assignments are each 100 questions which means they are very time consuming but it helps receive the most points possible.
Dr. Simon is one of the most communicative professors I've had at UNT. He responds quickly to any questions you may have, and offers plenty of extra credit opportunities. You can tell he cares about his students, and I would recommend his courses to anyone.
He goes very in depth of the course load and gives great instructions and feedback. I would definitely take his class again!
Overall, the professor was very communicative and helpful. He made sure we had everything we needed.
Lots of long lectures for a short period. Quizzes and assignments are really long.
He had excellent communication with all of the students through the GroupMe and the canvas announcements for the course. Since it was an online summer class the lecture videos are a bit lengthy and there is a lot of information to acquire in a shorter amount of time. As long as you stay consistent and manage your time wisely, you will do just fine.
Had very good communication with the whole class and allowed extra credit. Quizzes are 100 questions and closed book, I do think these are way too long for quizzes especially 3 of them during a summer class. But other than that, the content was fun to learn, just be sure to study hard!
Overall very good for my summer course!
loved the class very easy going
Professor Simon was one of the most caring and generous professors I've had. I appreciated the way he organized the coursework and made every assignment available from the start of the semester. Quizzes and exams are set up in a fair way that encourages you to learn and try again. Would take him again!!!
Professor made sure to be in contact through GroupMe and answered quickly to questions. 100 question quizzes but he gives you several tries and takes the highest one. He does want everyone to succeed in class with all the extra credit he gives.
Over all , The professor help his students a lot. If you have a question don't hesitate to ask him. He is good in explaining the material that you don't understand.
This is my second time taking this professor because he is very clear and honest with his expectations for this class. This was an online summer course so it was very work at your own pace where everything was due at the end of the summer semester. So, if you are a procrastinator like me stay on top of your work. There is extra credit as well.
Helped answer a lot of questions. As well as good assignments that are tough but you have a lot of attempts
The lectures and book are fairly thorough learning materials, and thankfully the professor is very quick to respond to questions. I was disappointed that there were no real assignments, as those tend to be more effective learning tools for me. Instead, the course consisted of 7 quizzes, all 100 questions each. This made me dread doing my work.
Professor Venu is a great professor, he is always willing to answer questions and give feedback. The quizzes and assignments are very lengthy and in depth so make sure you watch his lectures and read the textbook. If you put in effort it is an easy class to pass.
At first I struggled in the class due to it being a short 5 week class during the summer but as the semester went on I started to understand how the professor runs his class. I would recommend to start early with the work and study early as well. If you put in the work early I believe you will do well in the class.
I thought professor Simon was an excellent professor especially for a short summer course. He was very attentive when any of us had questions and gave lots of extra credit. Watching the lectures and studying the assignments will ensure you a great grade when doing the tests. Overall, highly recommend.
This professor was amazing and offered nearly 24 hour help it felt like. He definitely values writing assignments so if that isn't your string suit I don't recommend taking the course. All of his lectures were very informative and detailed. He definitely wants his students to succeed and it shows.
This class is do-able and the work that you put into it will reflect in your overall grade. I have a rather busy schedule outside of school which means I am not always able to devout as much time to assignments and studying but was still able to manage receiving an okay grade in this course.
He is a great caring professor. He is quick to respond to any issues or questions you have.
Very easy class. It takes time to learn all of the lessons, we are given 3 attempts on assignments which is very helpful to reinforce our knowledges before taking exams.
this professor overall was great he really engages with the class and is super fast to answer any questions you may have. One thing i wish i knew before i came into the course would be how the grading was going to be done for the course it really threw me off and a its a bit complicated to understand at first other that its a very good course.
Professor Simon cares about the success of his students above all else. This is evident in his efforts to make sure all students are successful. Communicate with him and the TA, this is important. Do all readings.
The biggest part of your grades for this class are the quizzes, but he makes them 100 questions long, so that if you miss one question, it is only worth one point. Studying the assignments will help you for the quizzes. He does offer a lot of opportunities for extra credit, so take it from me, do the bonus assignments. They help a lot.
Very understanding and caring professor. His extra credit opportunities are a treasure, so make sure to complete all of them. This class could be seen as tedious, but an A is possible if you put in the work needed. Make sure to understand the main concepts of the assignments. His feedback is great.
If you are taking the class during the summer, be prepared to watch extensive lectures! This cla
Overall, this course was a challenge. I am very busy and had to devote a lot of time to extensive lectures and long quizzes. The quality of the content was great. The professor clearly cares a lot about his students and is impressively quick to respond to questions. The extra credit grading was confusing for a lot of the class.
The professor is quick to respond to questions. The course is challenging, requiring hours dedicated to lecture videos. The quizzes are very long and you must devote time to both studying and taking the actual quizzes. The quality of the course content was high, and the professor clearly has a lot of knowledge. Extra credit grading was confusing.
For most what I can say, is that Professor Vinu is a very caring professor who will help you on whatever you need especially if it's a online course he provide you with stuff that will get you going and they will get you to where you need to get on your grade. you need to watch videos extra credit and as well he will send you text just to be sure.
I didnt mind this course, just be ready for long lecture videos, slides, and tests with honor lock and camera and you should be okay. The professor was honestly very understanding of everyone's time as well, just talk to him!
He gave a lot of extra credits. He also extended assignments, quizzes. However, the quizzes are cumulative with webcam and closed note. => Easy to pass but hard to get good grade.
He gave a lot of extra credits. He also extended assignments, quizzes. However, the quizzes are cumulative with webcam and closed note. => Easy to pass but hard to get good grade. P/S: I submit rating, but choosing wrong class number.
Professor Simon was very easy to talk to outside of class. He immediately created a groupme with him in it where we could ask any questions. Not a lot of assignments but they are rather long, so give yourself time to do them. No writing or anything, just multiple choice assignments.
Take this course if it is in your degree audit! Incredibly informational, get ready to read the textbook, but surprisingly the textbook isn't boring and it is super applicable. The course is laid out to help you succeed and go at your own pace. Don't get behind and leave everything last minute, like I did which is why I got a B.
This class seemed easy but became more difficult to manage. All assignments were 100-150 questions for the 5 week course and felt overwhelming at times, especially if you work while going to school. Definitely read the study materials and make quizlet flashcards to prepare you for the Lockdown Browser exams.
I would recommend this course and the professor is very attentive. This course was condensed into 6 weeks, and you should not procrastinate, or else you will suffer for the last few weeks. The class was graded only by a few assignments and 3 tests, and they were all 100 questions long. Read the textbook and watch the online lectures.
It was nice that there were clear expectations and the grading was automatic, despite there being too much material to allow any learning retention.
Professor Simon was a very good professor. The assignments were not too hard and I learned quite a bit from them.
Pretty easy class overall. Only about 7ish total assignments including quizzes and tests, but that may be only since I took it in the summer. Great communication throughout whole semester and even extended due dates to accommodate us students. Also gave some extra credit which was nice.
I took this class over the summer and it is an easy A if you put in effort. You are graded on 4 assignments and e quizzes, none of which were too difficult. The professor is very communicative and will help you with any questions. A plus side is that the class is graded out of 120 rather than 100, so you can gain up to 20% extra credit.
This professor was very flexible and extending deadlines as well as communicating with us if a due date has changed.
Highly recommend this teacher! He's super attentive to his students and is always there to answer any questions we had. The only downfall I would say is that his assignments are super heavy-- I'm talking about 100 questions per assignment/quiz. The quizzes also have lockdown browser with webcam, so be prepared to study. Overall, a great class!
It is my second time taking him for a class. He is very helpful and understanding to student's situations and gives a lot of extra chances to excel in the class. It is not a free grade so you have to study for your grade, but the grade is fair. I would recommend taking his courses. 10/10
Took this course during the summer it was only 3 quizzes & 3 exams. Dr.Simon Vinu was very helpful on making instructions clear and also extended due dates for everyone to allow us more time to work on assignments. Extra credit is given and overall the class was a breeze.
Definitely one of my favorite professors I have had at UNT. Professor Simon is very easy to reach and receive feedback from, and cares about the success of his students. As long as you communicate with him, he is willing to help in any way. The course overall was not very challenging, and he definitely makes it as easy as possible to pass.
Professor Simon is a great educator and structures his class in a way to set the student up for success. The homework has a lot of questions but successfully prepares you for the quizzes. Straightforward class, you will do well as he offers extra credit as well.
Very good class with a professor that is willing to help you at all costs! Recommend this class for those diligent enough to keep up twitch the coursework.
His summer class was very quick and lecture-heavy, but the assignments aligned well, where you could have progressed your reading and assignments simultaneously. Overall, it was a good class to take over the summer.
This class provided a lot of useful information. The professor was understating and at times expanded the deadlines for assignments depending on the needs of the class. Overall he is a great professor and would take again.
Much easier online than in person in my opinion. You do not have to spend hours studying as long as you pay attention and study the assignments before the quizzes/exams. Do not wait until the last minute just because everything is due around the same date. I would say there is a good 12-15 hours worth of workload in total for this course.
Professor Simo is absolutely fantastic! Their lectures are engaging, clear, and they truly care about student success. They're approachable and always willing to help. Highly recommend taking their classes!
This class was very informative just not interactive at all
Great professor, very kind and I enjoyed the structure. Long homework assignments, but very few of them. I highly recommend not waiting until the last day of class to do the work like I did! Overall very kind and reached out when I was falling behind.
This course was a 5 week online course, the professor was great and opened up all the material at the beginning so you can work at your own pace. The lectures that he has posted are lengthy but will help when it comes to the exams.
The assignments and coursework for this summer class were great and well-structured. Allowed me to have time to enjoy my summer while also earning credit. Everything was self-explanatory. I enjoyed this class and feel like I learned a lot. The grading is straight-forward, mostly quizzes. There are plenty of extra-credit opportunities.
I took this class as an expedited, online summer course. Very few assignments. Extra credit offered. Professor was very communicative in a class groupme. The quizzes are in lockdown browser but not difficult.
Professor Vinu was easy going and easy to get into contact with if you have any questions! All assignments are simple, straightforward 100 questions. Lockdown browser required for exams. Just read the chapters and you're good to go! I would recommend him to every marketing student
If you keep yourself up to date and aware of the course requirements, you will do well in this course. You also have plenty of opportunities to learn from mistakes by retaking quizzes. There's a lot of information to learn but stay on top of it. There was great open communication in the class as well. You will always know what to expect.
Professor Vinu was one of the most proactive professors I have ever had. He makes himself accessible at all hours of the day. His responses are quick and extremely helpful. He gives students the ability to collectively choose office hours. The assignments and quizzes are long (100 questions) however, he gives all materials needed to ace them!
Very long quizzes
I would choose this professor again
Dr. Simon was wonderful! He was always available for questions outside of class, and when we had troubles he was dedicated to finding solutions. He uses both textbooks and recorded lectures, at least during the summer course. The lectures were long, around 1-2 hours primarily, but packed full of info.
Professor Simon supplies you with everything you need. While you can get by without the textbook, it is much easier and better to have it to help you have a solid background before going through the lectures. He is very accommodating and has thorough pre-recorded lectures. If you read and watch the lectures you should have no problem passing.10/10!
The professor was very responsive, understanding and helpful when I reached out to him. He is responsive to email and I enjoyed the class.
10/10 professor! Super accessible hours
During the Summer Session Courses I was able to take Professor Simon's MKTG 3660 Course. Professor Simon had a clear set syllabus with all the due dates stated. He provided many resources and answered any questions. I will gladly be taking another one of his courses again!
Dr. Vinu is a very caring professor. If you need any help at all, Dr. Vinu is very accessible and will ensure that you get the help needed. He is one of the only professors that offered a groupme and responded frequently to everyone, as well as took the time to get to know as many students as possible in an online course. I recommend him.
HE IS A AMAZING PROFESSOR and the course content is always really informative. I took him in person during the spring semester and again in the summer. The summer is definitely harder because there is long lectures and long assignments, but he is really understanding and is really nice about giving extensions and he gives lots of extra credit.
The professor was super understanding while taking this course. He provides very informative video lectures and supplemental videos along with the textbook material, and he is very responsive if you have any questions. Overall this class was great!
Super accessible and genuinely cares
This class was easy and time-consuming, but if you're a procrastinator, you must buckle down and complete the assignments. The communication between the professors was apparent, and the professor answered questions very quickly and was there when we needed help.
I would definitely recommend not waiting until the last minute to do assignments in this class if you want to get high grades on quizzes and assignments. The professor was really communicative and responded very quickly to questions and concerns we had which was really appreciated it. Especially since it was a summer course.
Professor Simon is an understanding and engaging instructor. The course requires consistent effort, but with the help of resources like the textbook and unstuckstudy ai, you can stay on top of things. Highly recommended if you're willing to put in the work.
He is very understanding with his students and truly cares about their status in the class.
Prof. Simon care about his students, he will provide you with a variety of networking opportunities and multiple opportunities to redo assignments. HOWEVER, this is NOT an easy A or blow off class. Assignments are really long and tedious- 1 assignment was 26 questions/8 sentences each.(Our first class average was a 50). Attendance is graded.
