Knows what he is teaching. He is the North American Marketing Manager for Ford Racing. He uses Ford examples a lot too. His tests are hard, but he grades on a curve. Gives extra credit at the end to help out students with a lower grade. Nobody got lower than a C- in our class. I got an A and had a percentage in the high C' lower B's. Love the curve

Entertaining for a three hour class; I enjoyed looking at the marketing techniques of various company websites the most. I think more group activities would help stimulate interest. Memorization of hundreds of questions for an exam didn't help me grasp the material for what it was. I like marketing and I would recommend this guy for sure!

This is a super-survey course. Bill has us "teach the class" but often the class is incapable of teaching, doesn't prep, or he does it himself. Bill's experience as a Marketer is solid. The Papers and Final Marketing Plan for a company require thought and effort. Test banks are given for the tests. Always ask, is there any more data?

Will has a really huge ego that limited his ability to provide students with as much exposure and knowledge as the other Marketing/IMC professors.

I had a great time learning in this class without feeling bogged down by material and homework. There were two papers that made you learn the material by experience along with the marketing plan you put together in the end. The time lines to get things done seems short but it simulates how projects would be handled in the real world.

Paper assignments are abstract, which made it quite challenging for someone that already has difficulty writing.
