Reviews of professor Joe Alexander

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Took principles of marketing with him. His lectures are incredibly boring, he seems to have no passion for the subject matter. If you raise your hand don't expect him to call on you. He seems generally unapproachable. Belmont has some great teachers and he is not one of them. Not looking forward to having to take Market Research with him

Didn't answer his email once during the global pandemic and he gave me a 75 in participation because of it, bringing down my final course grade. In my experience, he is very rude over email and almost impossible to reason with, which is even more unfortunate when things shift fully online. Otherwise, lectures are fine but very dull.

Lecture heavy, but he is good at finding examples outside of the textbook to make it a little more interesting. 80% of your grade comes from tests, but they are not too difficult. As long as you are clear with communication, he is pretty accommodating.

Don't take him if you can avoid it. 95% of the class stopped trying to take notes after the first week because he is so unclear and they have little to do with the material on the exams. You will have to buy the textbook and memorize all of the definitions. That's how you'll pass. Also, quizlet will be your best friend for the homework.

Dr. Alexander is by far the best professor I've had at Belmont University! His class is always clear and well organized with very interesting lectures. Yes there is reading in the course, but most of his test material is pulled from his lectures. Not an easy A by any means, but you'll learn a ton! Awesome guy & always willing to help!

I do not suggest taking this class unless you have to. The way he weights his tests is unfair (EACH test 20% so 80% of your final grade!) and his syllabus was misleading... Ill give him the benefit of the doubt because we were online, but he reads the powerpoint with little explanation. Gives study guides that do not reflect the content of exams.
