Doable if ur a normal person and the people that are complaining are just mad they had to go to class lmao I heavy fw this dude, took this class 1.5 years ago still missin this bro frMKTG2201 2026-09-21 03:41:48 +0000 UTC
This is my second class I have taken with this Professor, honestly it was even better than the first! Our project was to an actual client which made the class so fun especially getting a free zoo membership. His lectures are always so engaging and it really feels like a group discussion. He is very understanding just make sure to do the readings!MKTG4502 2026-05-06 09:35:14 +0000 UTC
Paul was by far one of my favorite professors. He takes his time to get to know each student and has a great sense of humor to keep the class light. You will learn a lot of you lean into the experience. I would 10/10 recommend.MKTG6218 2026-04-28 13:32:47 +0000 UTC
AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Loves the subject, but somehow doesn't realize that he's teaching an introductory level course. Material is scattered and hard to follow. Don't bother emailing him, he doesn't care. Has tests that make up majority of your grade despite having no way to practice the problems or see any previous tests beforehand.2201 2026-03-20 20:10:54 +0000 UTC
He definitely expects participation and is very respected in his field. He has lots of real world advice he uses during his lectures which I love.1101 2025-10-10 19:55:12 +0000 UTC
Bad? I'm not saying he's a bad teacher. I'm sure he's very good in doing his work but he's very rude and impolite!!! He doesn't respect his students at all. I was so scared when I was in class with him because he was always making jokes about students and treating everyone very badly. Someone liked him; the majority of us don't!6812 2015-04-20 21:35:49 +0000 UTC
Falsely accused whole class of cheating / AI use, when none was used (though I can't speak for others). Seemed to have a few screws loose, writing profane and defamatory announcements on Canvas. Started sending assignments & announcements 12 days before the first class. Steer clear.MKTG2201 2026-08-31 23:27:33 +0000 UTC
Paul is a really nice prof. I took his course twice, both MKTG2201 and MKTG4502. He is very kind and friendly, and especially fun. The course is kind of hard but I definitely learned a lot and enjoy taking this course.MKTG4502 2022-05-08 19:58:08 +0000 UTC
Paul Is a great professor. He gives a lot of homework, but the homework makes sense. The syllabus looks intimidating but the work is really manageable. He is also very helpful and will be willing to meet with you outside of class. He makes real world connections to the material and class feels more coproduced as oppose to be lectured atMKTG6218 2019-12-03 02:27:39 +0000 UTC
Professor Fombelle is a knowledgeable instructor who knows how to lecture very effectively. He ties his lecture slides into real-world examples and all slides are made by him. He cares about attendance and will call you out for showing up late, but he means very well and cares for all of his students (especially those who show up ready to learn).2201 2025-12-03 17:31:50 +0000 UTC
Paul is such a nice guy, but the asynch marketing class was weirdly semi hard. It's not hard to do well, but don't take this class thinking you'll get an easy A because it's intro level. TA grades HW and there are only 3 pretty heft/hard tests. Watch lectures, REALLY read the textbook, try your best on the simulation, and ur all good.1101 2024-12-04 23:22:00 +0000 UTC
Easy class but unnecessary amount of work for an intro and summer class (insanely test heavy). Claims you need textbook to pass, just read his slideshows and save your money.MKTG2201 2026-06-17 15:43:39 +0000 UTC
Professor Fombelle is the best professor at Northeastern. He cares about his students. Getting an A in this class is difficult, but you will learn more in it than with any other professor. He has high expectations for his students, but matches that with high expectations of his own teaching ability. Take this course, you won't regret it.MKTG4502 2022-05-02 23:03:17 +0000 UTC
Has a passion for what he's teaching, which really comes through in his lectures, and a good sense of humor. Read textbook and engage in class, and you will do well. Tests were all mcq so as long as you read they're easy. Not much graded homework other than group project. Fombelle made 2201 my favorite class of the semester, would take him again!2201 2025-04-30 16:48:19 +0000 UTC
The in-class participation is really ridiculous. The presentation is hard to get higher than B+.1101 2014-12-10 05:28:14 +0000 UTC
