Reviews of professor Aadel Darrat

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I dont understand why a masters program is incorporating group assignments. That was the worst part of the class. Read the article, memorize definitions, memorize Japanese words like kaizen, and have general knowledge of assigned videos. Class isnt hard, just time consuming, especially with weekly group collaboration smh

3 Tests, 3 Case Studies, and 7 Discussion posts make up the whole class. Case studies and discussion posts are straight forward and grading criteria is very clear. The tests are tricky with a lot of small details in the PowerPoint that you get graded on. All of the information is from the PP slides that are not super interesting. Overall good class

Not much contact with the professor, but he is around. Sent an email about an error and he responded immediately. It was a good course, I was slightly disappointed with the AC, but it wasn't the end of the world. I also was disappointed that the country spotlight paper was removed and we had tests instead. Clear grading and clear expectations.

Easy A.  3 case studies (3-5 pgs), 7 group discussions with 1 reply, and 3 tests.  Case studies & discussions are easy (received a 100% on all) just use 2 sources in discussions and a solid 8-10 in the case study.  Test are tricky but manageable, you can get a high C/low B if you just use his lecture notes or an A if you read the book as well.

Test were a little challenging, but weekly writing assignments are weighted about the same as tests. Would take him again.

Really enjoyable class that won't overwhelm. The subject matter is genuinely interesting and I learned a lot of useful info that has already come in handy in my professional life. Follow the guidelines on writing assignments (cases and discussions) and do make sure to study for the tests. Tests 2 & 3 were a little tricky.

3 exams, discussion post each week, 3 case studies. The grading on the case studies and discussion posts are very clear and it is easy to do well on them. Only PowerPoints are provided each week, no lecture.  Really study for the tests, Quizlet is the best resource. Test questions are focused on the PowerPoints, but specifically the notes on them.

This class was very interesting and it helped that we always had all of the information needed to succeed on the exams. 3 exams and 6-7 discussion questions. Everything was graded quickly too! Would take this professor again.

Not an overly difficult course, weekly discussion posts, 3 longer case studies (pay attention to turn it in score details), study for the exams, not open note. Feels like a history class more than a marketing class. Free textbook and long PowerPoint slides provided. No curved grades, no extra credit
