Reviews of professor George Watson

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Easy grader for papers and presentations. Tests are allowed a full sheet of notes and are fully multiple choice so if you put in a bit of effort you will easily get an A. One large group project. Class is really boring for non marketing majors but George makes the class easy so its not too much of a problem

Decent teacher, a little arrogant. Class grades mostly consist of group project and two exams. Exams are open notes/book and are easy if you study. Attendance is not mandatory, and as long as you do the work you will do fine.

If you care about your grades and you're organized, STEER CLEAR of this professor. No structure, extremely arrogant, and especially unorganized and unclear. After mid-terms, he completely changed the syllabus, and for no reason canceled the last three classes before finals. 100 questions on final and midterm. I can't say enough negative things.

Probably one of the best teachers i've had at PSU. The guy is great at teaching, down to earth and zoom lessons were optional. Weekly homework that wasn't too bad, and a group paper/presentation for the final.

George is nice, easy grader and brings in workplace experience. Attendance isnt mandatory; half of the class usually doesnt show up. Posts his presentations online. Has EC chances. Weekly hw on McGraw Hill and a group paper and presentation due at the end. Tests have study guides so no stress. Easy A. One of my favorite professors ever

George makes this marketing analytics course not so painful as his students can totally relax with his grading. As long as you do all the assignments with some efforts in thinking, you can easily get 100/100 for the assignments. The hardest part in class is to find a dataset to analyze for the final project, hope you guys enjoy this class.

great class. lectures are thorough, walks you through how to do hw's in lectures, introduces mktg analytic tools in excel, tableau, Enginius. Uses plenty of different examples in classes. lectures + hw prepare you well for the final project. kind, friendly, respectful professor who truly shares his wealth of knowledge + real-world biz experience.

Very good lecturer, even though they aren't required. Pretty light workload until the final group project, which can turn into a lot if you were in a bad group (like I was). The tests were open note and easy. Marketing isn't my favorite subject but George was cool and he made it fun, so I recommend.

The grading for this class was pretty straightforward, homework worth 80% of the grade, 9 assignments, lowest grade was dropped. He went over a similar assignment in class. The final was a short paper and presentation, about the same amount of work as the homework. George was super helpful and supportive.
