 One of the best marketing professors, definitely knows what he's talking about. The lectures are very interesting, and he isn't really a bore. He gives out guides for what is going to be on the exam & they are an exact reflection of what is going to be on the test. The group projects were interesting - just be sure to choose your group wisely.

 Pros: Super cool professor, always plays video as class's material example. Easy grader, who will curve your grade a lot. Just try the best to participate, and work on all of the group work, you will be fine!

 Pros: Easy A----- if you show up to class, participate, and give a hoot to help your group.
Extremely considerate with test scores. Get a C, chances are good it'll count as a B/A.
Super nice prof who puts the experience and involvement value a bit higher than your test scores.
Cons: Be very careful about your group project partner choices!! The group is yours for BOTH projects, with 4-6wks of assignment planning and completion.
Assignments are easy, if you could work alone. Underachiever/invisible group mates make them complicated.
Attendance is not taken, so MOST people have "better" things to do than show up. Hint: Group with people who seem to show up every class from the start.
Great class. Great prof. Easy A and a mixed pot of majors.
Don't take if you just want an easy A with minimal effort. A new project was added to the course, using a computerized shopping mall project simulator. Requires patience, time, understanding of all details on paper assignment, and figuring out ways to make a more "one person" project doable by a group.

 Pros: No textbook
Take home exams
Cons: Lots of writing
Overall, this is one of the most interesting courses I took at Drexel. If you're into marketing, you should definitely check it out. His lectures are engaging - it's a mix of psychology and marketing applications. There was one group case study and several papers, but no text book or weekly homework assignments. There was a midterm and a final but both were very easy if you attended the lectures. Since there's no book, the way to pass his exams is to pay attention in class, the tests are straight forward and apply concepts covered in lecture. I highly recommend this course and professor.

 Excellent course, would definitely take another from the same professor.
There were two group projects/presentations, but all you had to do was hand in your slides and present, no papers to write. There were also 3 exams, but they were fairly easy if you had studied, and he gave a pretty steep curve (in terms of "get 10 out of 14 questions right and it is still 100%).
He really cared more about teaching the material to the students and facilitating class discussion about the industry more than making us learn random things just so we could take a test. Not only is it easy to achieve an A but you will actually want to be engaged in the course. As long as you get the notes from somebody, attendance wasn't really an issue, but I believe participation counted for something.

 Raj is knowledgeable about the subject. He is very nice is easy. He makes the class interesting. If you participate an do your assignments you will get an A. I recomment him for this course.

 Quite possibly the best class I've taken at Drexel. This class should be required for Marketing majors instead of that stupid MKTG 380.
There's 3 tests and 3 group presentations. His grading system really favors the student. Attendance is not required, but he doesn't post lecture notes online. The class is really laid-back with discussions about advertisements and consumer psychology. I'd definitely recommend him.

 Professor Suri's class was by far one of the most interesting I have taken at Drexel. He seems to really care about students and basically tries to foster discussion most of the class. He is a good teacher, and I would absolutely recommend taking him.

 His classes are really top notch, he is not over bearing and lets students form their own ideas and perspectives. He is challenging and makes the course very interesting. Shows a lot of clips and shares a lot of articles with the class. Discussions are interesting.
Honestly cares about his students. Exams are slightly tough, but if u pay attention in class they r quite managable.

 lectures are easy to follow and fun to sit through because he applies to material to real life. also he shows a lot of commercials and allows the students time to analyze and pick them apart.
it is necessary to come to lectures because he uses ppt presentations that cover the material that is on the midterm and final exam. both tests are fairly easy if you take time to review the material.
recitation has only 1 quiz (easy) and a group project (marketing simulation). There is little work due in recitation other then the final group paper and presentation. All very manageable if everyone on your team chips in.

 very cool guy..... makes class fun.... try to take him if you have the chance. his lectures are interesting and shows commercials then asks you "what is this ad trying to say?" but you have to copy the notes since he doesnt post them online. you had to do some busy work for recitations, but other than that.... this class is cake.

 Good teacher and really makes classes fun and interesting. You do not need to buy the book so don't waste your money. As long as you study your notes you should be ok. The recitation is not too bad either, sure you do another pointless simulation but it does not take up alot of your time.

 Raj is awesome.. makes the class interesting, and he knows what he is talking about. He explains well and I learned a lot from this class. 3 small projects, but they are easy.. but the explanation on the project itself can be confusing, and tests are cakewalks

 Raj is one of the superior professors at Drexel... Our class was similar to an open forum where people were allowed to state their views and Raj does make the class... Presentations are easy and the tests and final are jokes as long as you take notes and read the notes an hour before your exam

 Even though he tries to find ways to interact with students during lecture, his teaching ultimately becomes boring. The class itself is a moderately easy A if you study for the 2 exams and do your recitation work.

 You don't need to buy the textbook or the Pharmism manual. The lectures are a joke. All you do is watch advertisments. Recitation is important to attend.

 Definitely take Suri if your looking for a fun, interesting class. His lectures are very relevant to today’s marketing environment. Even though you didn’t have to go to the lecture to ace the tests, it was packed every class. The recitation is the only real work, you have group projects and attendance is mandatory.
