Reviews of professor James Rafferty

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Rafferty's classes are very boring. He has no control over the class and people can just hang out or do other classwork if they feel like it. I personally didn't do a lot and still came out with a B+. If you turn in all HW assignments and try a little hard you will probably get an A. Grades horribly which is why I didn't get an A.

Lectures are ppt-based and he would ask people to talk about the homework assignment. There's a fair amount of homework (stimulation project, Sona system, and 10 written homework assignments). The stimulation project and Sona system are mandatory for the MKTG2201 course. Tests are easy as long as you listen to class or read the textbook.

Easier to just change as soon as you see his name. Just started teaching. Impossible to get an A (nobody ever got). Slightly irritating, does not explain what on earth he wants. Feedback is useless.

Has a very easy class but that has nothing to do with his teaching. He lets you use a self-made study guide during exams. Lots of HW which are often poorly worded and are weighted fairly heavily. Grade is also based heavily off of a group project for which he takes VERY long to give feedback and creates virtually no guidelines. Decent guy though

The class itself isn't hard, it's a lot of unnecessary lecturing, the grade is completely based on your group project, quizzes, + simulations, don't missing one really hurts your grade. But, for the group project it is really hard to get an A, he never clearly explains what he wants, you are very much on your own.
