Reviews of professor Mark Mayer

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Don't take him if you have the option. Chooses to let class out early, but then assigns videos of a lecture he easily had time for in class. Difficult quizzes, pretentious, and often compares us to another university he taught a in a negative way. Any group activity is just so he can tell you you're wrong in front of the class. DO NOT TAKE!

Professor Mayer is very understanding almost to a fault. I was in his online class, and he kept pushing the due dates back. He will call you out if you BS a paper, but he will help you if you ask him. Very friendly and has a sense of humor. I have always been an awful student, but his class is not horrible if you are willing to put in some effort.

Professor Mayer is awesome. Some people may say he is difficult, but if you make the effort he will work with you. Really smart guy, uses a lot of real life examples which makes it interesting. There are several opportunities for points besides tests. Start on the group project early, you choose your group but be very careful when selecting.

Mark is such a cool guy. He genuinely wants to connect with his students and teach them something. I can see how some people say he's difficult, but I didn't really have much of a problem. If you keep up with canvas and his announcements/emails, he gives you so much help. He literally gives you answers, extra credit, and explanations if you check.

Looking at the other ratings, I was worried about taking his class. He's a really good professor and is very knowledgable and you can tell he actually likes what he is teaching. It's not a difficult class if you pay attention and do your work. Would recommend taking him.

There are a lot of negative reviews here. Prof. Mayer knows his stuff and expects you to learn it. Some very difficult assignments, especially with the software. He tries to keep it interactive and is willing to work with groups that go to see him for the final project. Tests are tough, but the material is tough. Hard class, but he made it worth it

Professor Mayer is a caring professor who really knows his stuff. The course overall is rather difficult, but Mayer explains things well as well as gives extra credit. One big course project and two tests (mid-term and final). Quizzes are difficult as well but barrable. His passion for marketing is why I'd take him again.

Probably one of the smartest professors I have had. Dr. Mayer really understands the marketing field, and presents course content well. He gets students to engage with course material by providing real-world examples, analysis, and a lot of personal thinking. He doesn't sit in front of the class and lecture the whole time, which may be a plus to u!
