Reviews of professor James Boles

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He is a good professor. We had 4 exams and a group project. The exams were easy, I never read the textbook or took notes. I showed up to class, listened and did good on the exams. Also the project was easier than in other mkt 320 courses, and he did not grade it hard at all. What he expected was pretty straight forward and he was happy to help.

I advise to set milestones for your group project. It can sneak up on you and most team mates slack off until the last week (which i am sure you know because you have done a group project in college). Read the book and take notes and you will be fine on the exams. 2nd exam was the hardest for me.

Professor Boles cares about his students and their success. He is a very nice professor. His class is lecture heavy, and many involve group simulation projects. If you work with your group and stay on top of the assignments you will do well.

He's okay. Four 50 question exams, a final, a group project, and clicker points for participation. He'll give you a handout for lecture that covers the key points for the chapter, but you need to study the powerpoint as well and actually read the book. He doesn't post powerpoints online and goes too fast so you have to write fast or take pictures.

This is for MBA 706, not MKT 320. He was a great professor. You have to do a lot of work in his class but you learn so much. I always enjoy his classes. If you put in effort, you will do well. I was struggling this semester and his support helped me stay in school. His workload can be a lot but it's manageable and well worth it.
