Reviews of professor Mahmoud Darrat

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
lectures are amazing with so many examples so not hard to be engaged. But exams were hard.  If you aren't interested in the international side of marketing, don't take this as an elective. If you are, he's the best professor to take it with imo

I absolutely love his teaching style. It almost feels like it's not a lecture the way he teaches because he makes it about stuff that you experience as a consumer plus he's also a funny story teller as others have mentioned. I'm not a fan of the group project, but the rest of the work is individual so I guess its okay. Planning to take him again

Won't find a more authentic, down to earth, funny, and knowledgeable professor than Prof Darrat.  Im graduating this semester and only wish I discovered him earlier.  Made me legit interested in traveling more and consdering work outside the US. Great person to know for job opportunities too, connected me with my current job

He has a fun way of teaching that is very informal, discussion based and the topics he chooses are relevant and interesting.  His enthusiasm is contagious and you often get into debates about controversial global issues in class and how they relate to marketing.  Exams are difficult, but most did better on the last 2. Overall, highly recommend

Funny and engaging lectures, never went full time. No textbook, no homework. Class is 4 exams, 2 papers, and a big group project. Exams are HARD. Good class though, only teacher worth getting up at 8 am for.

I had zero interest coming into this class but he made it very interesting! He's really down to earth and you can tell he loves discussing global marketing issues. His tests are fair if you study and go to class but they're by no means easy.
