He's nice, like dad vibes! Just put in the effort, and you'll be fine.mktg-2201 2026-05-04 18:42:48 +0000 UTC
Lectors were very interesting as he would incorporate current marketing examples in almost every class. He was extremely understanding and helped his students succeed. He replied quick to concerns on email and was always available for office hours.mktg-2201 2026-05-01 21:10:43 +0000 UTC
Hard class, if you want a GPA boost, pass, but if you want a good professor and to learn a lot, take this class. Around 100 mins of studying per week, give or take. Great guy, hard class, and not easy, but I enjoyed it.mktg-2201 2026-04-19 22:01:29 +0000 UTC
He has no care for studentsmktg-2201 2026-04-16 21:12:45 +0000 UTC
This class is challenging but rewarding. Nace is a very passionate and kind teacher who wants to see all of his students succeed, and is always willing to provide help if needed. Quizzes aren't difficult if you prepare well, and the final project is really fun. Work hard and come to class, and you will get an A. Would absolutely take him again!mktg-2201 2026-04-16 04:06:26 +0000 UTC
The bad reviews don't capture him accurately. He is a very relaxed teacher, and if you need help or guidance, he will provide it. Quizzes aren't that difficult, and you should be fine if you do basic reading. Marketing is common sense; don't overcomplicate it, and you will get an A. I would definitely take him again.mktg-2201 2026-04-12 18:43:45 +0000 UTC
PLEASE IGNORE THESE REVIEWS!!! Professor Nace is one of the most amazing professors I have had so far at Northeastern. He deeply cares about his students and how they're doing in his class. He responds very quickly to emails and has time to talk after class. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.mktg-2201 2026-04-09 20:43:26 +0000 UTC
HW assignments every Friday and an hour-long simulation every week. So give or take around an hour and a half of homework per week. Quizzes are easy, the final is take-home and online.mktg-2201 2026-03-19 16:39:30 +0000 UTC
I swear every good rating on here he wrote himself cause the amount that he brings up his Rate My Professor is insane, especially the first week. Literally used AI to try to catch us using AI and spent his entire break doing it. Marketing is such common sense the majority of the time and he overcomplicates it so much.mktg-2201 2026-03-11 19:42:52 +0000 UTC
Lectures are mandatory but irrelevant. He loves to talk about his old job at Bose- he should probably stay there for everyone's sake. He's reachable and knowledgeable, but a questionable teacher. Tests are hard and irrelevant to class discussions, and he never clearly states what's on them, so you're anxious all class not knowing what to write downmktg-2201 2026-02-25 17:52:30 +0000 UTC
hard quizzes. so much reading, not worth itmktg-2201 2026-02-04 03:39:30 +0000 UTC
switching my major to finance because he made me hate marketing SO MUCHmktg-2201 2026-02-04 03:37:47 +0000 UTC
Don't takemktg-2201 2025-10-03 18:41:21 +0000 UTC
He curves down so only a certain percent of class can get As. Yes it will grow you, but yes it will also take a blow to your gpa if you're into that sort of thing. Would stay away if you canmktg-2201 2025-09-02 02:23:03 +0000 UTC
Nace is very passionate and a nice guy, however, his grading and stance on GPA is pretty bad. He believes it does not matter but in reality it really does. Teaching wise, he is very good and once you leave the semester you will have a strong understanding of marketing. I would recommend taking him but you're going to have to work really hard.mktg-2201 2025-05-21 18:13:22 +0000 UTC
