I chose him over Burgess in International Marketing. He's boring, he only talks and talks. No powerpoint slides. But I guess it beats Burgess!
His class is very boring. He talks a lot and it's hard to follow him. Sometimes I can't understand what he is talking about. Tests are fine, just read chapters before the test.
He is an okay guy, but his teaching style lacks any appeal. You may as well read the textbook and just show up for tests and assignments. He talks a lot, but you'll find it hard to pay attention because for three hours thats ALL he does.
Awesome teacher! I love marketing and he has a lot of great insight into the real world of it. He wants the students to do well and makes cute dad jokes along the way. keepin mind that you will be in class for the WHOLE 3 hours though, he doesnt let you go early EVER! But this class is worth taking!
I love this professor. I took his marketing class in my first semester and I enjoed it. u just need to attend your classes and read the chapters he teaches. his exams are fair, just need to read the book. also, he used to answer all my questions either in class or via e-mail to help me. helpful professor:)
Did not like him at all, set the term project the same day as the mid term exam, everyone did poorly on the midterm and he did the same for the final. Talks a lot and not all of it is related to marketing, and he doesn't go in depth about marketing either, you would have to read the book to actually learn something.
Worst class I ever attended. Showed up to 90% of my classes, but still had a hard time understanding what the course was about. He is too direct, puts you on the spot, and is not very forgiving. He says he is organized, but he shows up to class at 8:15, and if you show up late, he points you out. He is a very self absorbed individual who likes to h
Professor is very enthusiastic but may come off as being too self-absorbed. Tries to be intimidating but fails at it. And please don't ever expect to be dismissed from class early so be prepared to listen to him talk about his past job experiences for the full 3 hours. Overall great professor.
Just simply do not take this professor, my experience was awful, if you can't attend a class he puts an eye on you and will never forgive and try to fail you if you have family or personal problems. I had to drop the class because of his several attempts to take of marks from my work. just simply and awful person
Try avoiding this guy. He is way too strict, the project teaches one absolutely nothing and takes up a good deal of ones time. I had no choice but had to take up the course with him. Just make sure you make it through his course.
He us actually a really good professor, A little tough on marking, but other wise he was fine.
The worst teacher I ever had. Midterm included material never discussed. Mid term marked a week before the final. Did not seem to know the course material. He would just stand there and tell stories un related to anything we were to learn. Final marks adjusted because he didnt teach us anything we were tested on. Avoid at all cost.
Cause it is a early morning course, few students were in the class, and the test was very difficult. I was confused that I got 78 in the final, and i did all the assignment, but just D+ for final mark....And from teaching side, I think it is ok.
William is a very good prof people seem to hate him only because they dont attend his class. Hes a very nice prof and an overall good teacher. Always go to his class and do the work. Also always study for his tests and exams because they tend to get confusing if you do little to no studying. I would definitely take him again
Horrible
Good one
Ok. Here's the thing. He's a great guy with a kind personality, but man oh man does he fail with grading tests & exams! I found several mistakes on many tests we took. On the final exam, he included a chapter that we never even studied, and that wasn't even on the course outline and it was the BULK of the entire exam. Be very careful with this one.
Rose:"less feedback encourages attendance, and students cheat." He filters feedback after tests. Simply informs you of your mark and allows a brief look no returns. blackboard; uploads slides & outline, which he modifies in lectures. Recommend to avoid if you are an Intrapersonal learning style, if you use tests to study or take poor notes.
1. no rubrics, no grading criteria, no course outline 2. tests are full of errors, he will not correct unless you make him. 3. the lectures are full of personal anecdotes about his love life 4. disorganized, group projects are a disaster 5. no evidence of teaching skills or lesson planning 6. choose another prof if you can
Good guy, talks about everything in his life besides marketing. tries to be funny but his jokes are lame, really confusing,. Try not to make noises in his class, do not say anything or else he will get mad cuz he just wants to be the only person talking in the room.
Honestly this guy made me go on this website. If you're in his first semester marketing class (MARK 1020) you don't have to attend his class to pass. Buy the book, study it, and do the homework. HE PUTS NOTHING ON BLACKBOARD. You will have to come to his class to see your mark and the course outline which sucks. If you're late he WILL CALL YOU OUT.
Please don't take this professor, does not know how to teach, and does not use rubric marking, will not use BB, talks too much about his life (boring), does not go by the book, the worse professor ever, if first time taking this course DO NOT TAKE HIM , not a fair marker, sorry i took him, i was told he was bad,but no other choice, only options
horrible teacher, i stopped attending his classes because his handouts do not teach anything, he cant teach and his exams and tests are ridiculously stupid
Very Difficult. There are no assignments to get you extra marks, all the tests are extremely hard and you need to know everything. He posts nothing on blackboard.
This teacher is a great presenter and I enjoyed the class; however, He could have been a bit clearer in the exams.
He's boring and related too much to useless past experience.
Awful experience, I only missed 1 class and had a Dr. Note.-I still did not understand what the point of this class was-it should of been an elective. Read the material, remember it because you will not get review or support from this man. He is rude, always has excuses for why he is late. It is finals week and I don't have my midterm mark yet.
The classes are interesting, but are like 'lectures' style. They are not so helpful for the tests. Ready the book by yourself is the best thing to pass.
Uses textbook alot, if u have online access, best place to study/practice (sample tests/exercises) Use Smartbook, super useful. Test all multiple choice, lots of scenarios, few definitions. No make-up/bonus. Online Homework: loophole bottom of page has answer button. Dont be late to test, not even 2 mins
The worst professor ever.
- makes fun of students from previous semesters who complain about him, implies they are stupid/ dumb. - takes unreasonably long to grade papers and return them. - arbitrarily deducts marks and when asked about it, gives unclear reasons.
He never references the textbook, but if you haven't read it and steeped in it, you'll likely fail your midterm. Get ready to hear about his ex-wife, kids, and his childhood friend Kenny. Oh, and all the renovations on his condo.
Ya not nice ya rude.
Text book exam but never reviews it in class
Lol just to see other students say the same thing that I was dealing with this teacher really does show how bad he is. Now that I am done GBC this semester I can honestly say I had him last fall semester and I still remember him for being the absolute WORST prof I had. Him and Frank Baloney are terrible. Don't know why they're still there.
Very sarcastic and does not go the extra mile for students. Does not give test reviews or an exam review. He does not give out assignments to bump your mark up along with not giving mark updates.
He has a great experience in marketing, good concept background and is clear in his explanations.
He has a lot of experience, gave lots of examples. Good professor.
He has excellent background.
He takes care of his students and give good feedback.
I'm not on here making excuses Maybe it's because I've experienced not only harder professors but even more straight edged instructors outside of school Look, Rose is a no nonsense, experienced individual who has a lot of business experience Even though he talks a lot he ASKS STUDENTS QUESTIONS, people barley participate Idid,and I passed just fine
Too muck talk for nothing
Made the majority of the class redo an assignment, for a mistake he made in his rubric claiming that this has never happened then, gave an extension with a mark deduction for his mistake. He does not go over assignments and expects them to be handed in. Never uses BB and wants everything as a hard copy single sided, with assignments being long (6p)
tough grader,not hilarious,never use blackboard,nice hair
Didnt mind his lectures, but waaaay too much unneccessary paper wasted in his class. If you take him, really look at the marks on your assignment and double check it was calculated correctly. 3/6 assignments I did were graded incorrectly, was he marking them while drunk?��
I didn't learn nothing about the content of the course. He has never mentioned the book or directed us to the final exam. He was just there sharing lots of useless information about his personal life. Too much and unnecessary paper in class and lots of assignments. He is very unorganized and a terrible professor. Don't take his class!
Lectures are useless, talks about a lot of irrelevant things but doesn't use Blackboard so pay attention as to when tests/assignments are due. Calls you out if you aren't paying attention in class. Gives no clear test reviews, just what chapters to study. Not very understanding... blamed us for not doing assignments during the strike.
Lessons do not prepare you for the test. A lot of papers given in class. Teacher does not give you feedback and suggest you drop out of class as soon as the first class has started.
Professor Rose instructed my Successful asocial Relations course, which focuses on how to act ethically and appropriately in the work place. Rose has a lot of relevant work/life experience pertinent to this course, and drives good discussion in class. However we got marks back very slowly and content was not challenging enough.
Don't take him as your Prof. He gives too many stuff to do every class - lots of group works. Always ask people to come on time when he doesn't. Once you're late for class, prepare to stay outside until the break as he will lock the door.
The class of this professor is extremely boring. He provided a lot of group assignments, where we were asked to film short movies. He never uses the textbook, but the slides are totally useless for the tests. If you don't study by the textbook, you will probably get a bad grade.
Terrible proffesor, every single review is compeleth correct and up to date about him, he gives way too many group assignments if u even miss a single day u loose marks?!! Avoid this proff
He's not that bad. I attended all my classes and got a good grade His classes are definitely not boring.
Do not take this professor! He gives too many examples of his personal life that he loses himself about what he was supposed to explain to us. He doesn't go straight to the point and I hated the way he explained the subjects. He asks students to raise their hands for irrelevant questions. I hated his method!!!
I am taking his Social relation class. I don't really like his teaching method. he gives a lot of examples, sometimes that doesn't make any sense to the context, and I am always got lost. He always gives printed power point, read the powerpoint and give an example which is nonsense. I don't even know how to study for his course.
Try not to take this guy for Marketing. He just talks about himself a lot. You're probably better off skipping his class and using the time to read the text book a few times. At least that will help with the tests. He doesn't care about his students and is usually late. He asks silly questions and expects you to put up your hand way too often.
Loves killing trees and will fail you if your work is not printed. Does not use projector for his work, reads off printed PowerPoint slides. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROF.
Terrible professor, although his lectures are well-explained and useful, he is unorganized and unrealistic when it comes to marking and submitting assignment (asked you to screenshot slides as citation and print them out so he can see easier). Every marks won't be submitted until the very end of the semester (passes the course-dropping deadline).
Actually, this is the first professor that I really hate. His lectures are boring and he does not even use the bb. He uses lots of paper. More than you can imagine. He wants everything in hard copy, Especially in group projects... He said that everyone in group needs to have a hard copy. I don't know why, he does not think about the environment
IF their is a chance to deselect this professor i would suggest you do. IF you are looking for knowledgeable class i would prefer him but incase if you are looking for easy pass, this can be your worst nightmare. Overall he has good knowledge about everything but he might not treat you with decency when it comes to make you study. Verytough GRADER.
I had Mr. Rose for my social relations class and had only a few encounters with him that were not pleasant. He was a good professor however when problems with group members were brought up, he did nothing to resolve the situation. I ended up taking another course with him but he told me to drop out because I could speak on mic at 8AM so I did.
Extremely unreasonable and his explanation are of middle grade child level. I wasn't able to understand a single thing, do not take him
1. Rude 2. Doesn't teach 3. Waste of money and time 4. God complex 5. Pick a different teacher
To be honest, based on the previous rating, I doubted to take this course with him. But I had no other chance. I took this class and unbelievably, it was fantastic. The professor is really knowledgeable about this field. And he teaches it very well. During the semester you'll learn the sales process step by step and at the end you'll enjoy that.
NEVER gave any reviews before exams. He will only tell you there will be an exam this week. Be ready to read slides and textbook yourself. Too many assignments, some are too difficult, almost impossible to complete.
Every single lecture is a group project, you need to review narrated PPts yourself and read a lot, the professor has rich experience in marketing, all assignments are easy if you review slides, the professor provides great examples, however he is rude and answers emails after 2-3 days.
I have never written one of these but I felt like I had to after taking his class. The course itself is really interesting. He sucks as a prof. Takes forever to answer emails and when he does he's extremely, rude. Every class has participation grades but even if you complete it chances are he won't give you full marks. I will never take his class!
Worst professor i have ever had, held 3 hours lectures every week in which he managed to teach nothing. every class we had break out assignments or he made us go listen to power point slides containing 40+ slides all with 3 min voice clips. Does not do test reviews, expects students to read entire text book for final exam and just retain the info
In 3 hours of lecture time, he did nothing. He expected us to go and watch his slides after the dedicated time of the lecture, every week he gave us discussions to do with random due dates. Save yourself and don't take his class. You will be in a loop not knowing where your grades stand as he does not grade them fast enough.
In a 3 hour class he does not open the lectures, but rather he puts us into several break out groups that don't accomplish much. We're expected to go back and re-read the textbook and the slides which is very time consuming. He takes a long time to reply to emails and even longer to mark work. Additionally, he does not give any breaks in class
Worst professor Ive had to date. Super disorganized as he has no idea how to use BB and has everything scattered. Very picky with marking even when you follow exactly what he wants to a T. Inputs wrong marks onto BB, keep an eye out. Doesnt give reviews before tests. Takes forever to mark. Do not take this professor!
William is hands down the most confusing man I have ever met, let alone professor. He is round-about and unclear in everything he explains - especially when it is written. I truly believe he himself does not know what he is even asking of us on assignments. I do not know how he became a professor. Nice enough person, just super confusing. Avoid.
he has some problems writing the English is correct, but he makes it super confusing on his informations on assignments or announcements
William Rose is confusing prof ever; he is unsure what he wants in the assignment. He will consider you as good student if you have video. In case you have any doubts show him an example of ppt else what he says differs from what we preseive .
William was one of the first Professors I encountered at GBC. Looking back, I regret not looking him up on RMP before enrolling. His class was very textbook heavy, and he was rude when talking to students. Also, he tries to fit too much information in each lecture that you need to memorize despite being an introductory marketing course. Avoid.
Rose is extremely disorganized.Every class s unclear n boring.He asks us to read his "PowerPoint" presentations during his class, then he makes a breakout room n when we come back someone in the group needs to explain everything. You will have to submit IN-CLASS open questions quizzes(open ONLY during class).I hated his class.DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS.
He's not a bad instructor but he's sooooo old school. He should change his style of teaching. Also sometimes he thinks he's funny but I'm sorry you're not:).
William has a self-proclaimed unique "sense of humour," which is his excuse to make rude/misogynistic comments to students. Tests are confusing & time limits are set to prevent cheating, but in actuality he's created a model which sets students up to fail due to rushing through each question.Try to register early to avoid William at all costs.
Professor William Rose is dismissive, non-helpful, and at times quite disingenuous. He has made this course extremely difficult for not only me, but several students. He seems to have quite the attitude on him as well as he enjoys taking his anger out on students. If you can avoid having him as a professor please do. Otherwise you will regret it.
run away!!!
Run away, emails dont exist to him, dont ever expect a rubric, sarcastic condescending tone when hes not in a good mood. Never made announcments extremely old school and doesnt seem to care that communication through technology is key. Moral of the story dont bother emailing this dude about absolutely anything.
Took a Human Skills class with William, from the most inhumane professor I have met. It was often a joke that he should take his own class. Be prepared to do a group assignment every week, and everything you do to be looked at under a microscope. If you can avoid his class, please do.
Awful prof. He knew nothing about being humor, and no human skills as human skill prof. RUN AWAY NOW!
William Rose thinks he's a funny, light-hearted professor but he's none of those things. Instead, he's self-important, egotistical, and rarely teaches anything of value. He threatened a student with bodily harm in my course with him, then tried to explain away his behaviour by claiming he was just "loud" because students didn't sit close enough.
prof. William rose is Very rude he talks as if he's better than he be littles students in very slick ways all his tests and quiz have very little correlation to his lectures and lessons he does not reply to emails in a timely manner he will fail you and give you zeros wit NO feedback I had 7 prof so far and he is by FAR the WORST AVOID HIS CLASS!
Poorly organized courses, unclear assignments can make the learning experience stressful and confusing for students.
Prof. Rose does not create any course materials for his class, but tries to pass his materials off as his own and then doesn't know how to teach from them at all. His inability to teach is only surpassed by his inflated ego and outdated references. Rather than learning anything of value, I was asked 13 weeks in a row if I have a PC Optimum card.
I actually liked this professor, his classes were easy and he laughs at his own jokes which is funny lol, the downsides are he is disorganized with powerpoints and assignments. I don't think he's a tough grader
I wanted to give him a fair chance, but I was very disappointed. He closed D2L before grades were visible, and you never get your work back. There is no exam review, assignments are repetitive and worth very little, and the exam can be passed using common sense alone.
