Reviews of professor Derik Steyn

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Steyn is such a great teacher!! He is so willing to help and really wants you to understand the material. He provides great examples in class that are entertaining so that the lectures are not just talking the entire time. Would recommend him. Class is not too hard as long as you do the work and ask him for help!! Very helpful and great guy!

Professor Steyn really cares about his students and will learn everyone's names. Hes get the test questions from the connect assignments, so with studying there is no reason not to do good in the class. He knows how to crack and joke and make the class interesting.

Professor Steyn is overall a good professor. I had him for MKT 3513 and MKT 3323 and in both classes, he used TopHat for attendance and participation. Don't procrastinate working on the Industry Analysis assignment and presentation. The final isn't accumulative. Study the Connect quizzes for each test.

Professor Steyn is incredibly hard. He's an amazing person but his exams are extremely hard and worded so poorly. The average on his exams are a 60% and he does not curve or bump. His lectures are pointless, none of it is on exams. Save your GPA, do not take him.

Dr. Steyn is by far the worst and most unprofessional Professor I have ever seen. He genuinely wants to see his students fail, as the class average for all of his tests is below 60 and he doesn't curve or provide extra credit. If I were you I would steer clear of him because he actually sucks at his job. DO NOT TAKE, HE IS HORRIBLE

I worked really hard in this class, and basically got the highest grades on the exams, but I couldn't raise my grade after the first group assignment. He seems like a nice guy, but the exam averages were D's and below w/ no curve. My grade dropped a ton because of the group assignment which sucked bc I would've done well if I did them alone :(

I really enjoyed taking Dr. Steyn's class. He is very kind and great to talk to. Some of the material can be confusing but if you ask questions he is very helpful. How he grades can be confusing but overall I enjoyed his class and would take him again.

Derik is AMAZING! I have taken him twice now and he has always been super energetic and UNDERSTANDING! He loves Marketing and you can see it! He gets super excited when you show interest in the material. You will definitely learn the material with him, and its not super hard if you make an effort! Make sure to be open with him if you are struggling

Had no issues giving a test where the average grade was below 50% and the high score was still an F
