 Exams were MC and T/F, but the questions were to broad, making them dificult to answer. He's a nice teacher and great to talk to. He provides a lot of relevant examples based on his industry experience. Learned a lot, lectures were okay, exams I had a problem with. He cares about students, participate in class.

 I liked Brodo, but I could also see why people would dislike him. He is an old head no doubt and he isn't the greatest of teachers but his class was not so bad and easy. He has nice sound sales experience over a long period of time and is a guy seriously taking it easy at the end of his career. If your looking to be greatly challenged please look elsewhere, but you can still learn something from the guy if your willing to give the class a chance.

 I completely agree with the negative comments on here. His teaching was terrible. Literally, every single class consisted of students giving a half hour presentation followed by him lecturing for 10 minutes on the same material we learned in high school marketing class.
I was stunned when I learned that this guy taught at Wharton.
The only thing I learned from his course is to never take one of his courses again!

 I understand it may seem like an advantage to have a wise old sage with lots of experience teaching. However, the effectiveness of his teaching ability makes me want to demand my tution back for this course.
I could have learned more by going to Borders and reading "Marketing for Dummies" ... and that is sad. Not only dissapointing for me as a student, but for Drexel as a higher level educational institution.

 Do not take this teacher! STARES and makes fun of students and maliciously calls out when the students have to go to the bathroom and makes fun of them. Stares you down if you ask a question and makes you feel silly. Very old ways and method of teaching is not used by any other teacher. Talks about XERROX all class. At the end he gives a bonus assignment but doesn't give you credit for it. You can do great in recitation and still fail the class. Don't let him see you during lecture because he will call on you constantly. HIDE! That's the best thing to do to avoid being seen by him. If he sees you and knows your name. You are screwed. 80% of his students end up failing.
