Every week, we were assigned an excel spreadsheet (10 hours) and powerpoint (1 hour). The instructions were unclear for many of the steps and you have to figure it out yourself. Grading was slow however this is likely due to the TAs.MKTG6318 2024-12-23 20:27:11 +0000 UTC
Great professor! Easy grader, friendly guy, understands that you have other classes outside of his. Does his best to make his class interesting and engaging. Great professor!MKTG3301 2018-12-07 13:31:22 +0000 UTC
Dr. Pauwels is a nice guy. Very smart. Friendly. But be warned: this was not a marketing class. This was a statistics and econometrics class. Unless you understand both econometrics and statistics, you'll be in trouble. A group project every week. 20+ hrs work/week. TAs in fall 2023 semester were bad.MKTG6318 2023-12-15 01:00:19 +0000 UTC
Great Professor. He made the class fun, engaging, and as long as you do the work and put some effort in you'll pass.MKTG3301 2018-11-14 12:03:45 +0000 UTC
By FAR one of the best professors I've had at Northeastern. It's so clear how much he cares about his students - he really wants you to succeed. It also seems like he was pretty accomplished in his marketing career before teaching so he has tons of real world experience and knows what he's talking about. Take this professor!!!MKTG3301 2018-04-11 12:31:48 +0000 UTC
