Reviews of professor Joshua Dorsey

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Dorsey is THE BEST teacher I've had at Cal State Fullerton. If you can, please please please take this class. I've learned so much about marketing and he presents a different perspective on marketing that none of my other teachers provide. Make sure you pay attention in class. Do your research and read the books he provides. :)

This class wasn't "hard". It's uncomfortable & different. Lots of roleplays. Lots of ass-kissing. Felt like an improv class. Easy pass as long as you are really putting in the effort. As other students mentioned, he does have an ego and he doesn't really like being questioned about his approach. Doesn't give examples of what is expected.

Taking during COVID. Spends at least two-thirds of the class discussing current events in sports mostly but with no real context or good relation to class topics. Then we go through his powerpoints. I do not doubt his knowledge as I'm sure he is very knowledgeable but his teaching is not it. The class can be taught at a regular time 1.45h instead.

feels superior and does not like to be challenged. Has these expectations from you but does not explain what they would look like. No feedback on assignments. Just your grade. As others have mentioned, class is not what you expect. Only thing you get from it is the cool guest speakers. Thats about it. What a waste.

Dr. Dorsey is the best professor ever! I've learned so much in his class that I have already implemented into my work and career. He makes you work for it but if you pay attention and try you will do well! (:

Overall a pretty easy professor. Originally thought I was going to get a C grade since Dorsey generally only gives out C's and B's and fails about 4-5 students in each of his classes but somehow I managed to get an A-. We had 4 written response cases that was easy and then a group project. Take note, make sure to always refer to him as Dr. Dorsey

Dorsey has an orthodox way of teaching. He is very knowledgeable in his field but talks a lot. He challenges individuals to think for themselves. He will answer your question with a question. He wants you to feel uncomfortable. There are 4 papers and he wants you to be creative w/ them. 5 pop quizzes. Its a difficult classes but I would take again.
