Come away from class thinking with good reasoning skills. Young gives you the cases and conversation to develop good understanding. He asked good questions that dig deep into the case. What makes companies work in markets, this is real world. Great instructor.MKT301 2017-05-12 20:58:37 +0000 UTC
I took his Marketing Management class. Prof. Young is great! The class is not that boring textbook-type thing, but more on the thinking side. Prof has a lot of field experience, so he makes class discussions really interesting and outstanding. He's very passionate about the subject, and loves all the ideas students might have during a discussion.MKTG3301 2014-12-02 20:45:39 +0000 UTC
Lectures remind me of law school type lectures. Very thought provoking. We did not use the book much . Just reviewed HBR. Some marketing math confusing but he asked us to think. Would like to see a little more on new social media and digital marketing in this course.MKTG6290 2014-03-30 16:55:28 +0000 UTC

Very routine classe, grades seem kind of random.MKTU301 2008-04-30 02:13:14 +0000 UTC
Excellent teacher. Participate and get an A. Only homework was reading cases which were never hard. Only two papers, based on cases- pay attention to class debates on those cases and start earlier than the night before and you'll get an A.MARKETINGMNGMT 2006-04-06 16:21:29 +0000 UTC
This guys rocks. Ask about his young wife, he's proud of her so no worries! I think she's half his age. Easy to get an A. I loves to tell the story of when he bled all over the place while in class, I was there it was gross.MARKETINGMGMT 2005-08-26 08:46:01 +0000 UTC
Great teacher. Read the cases + Do the project = Get a good grade. That simple. No tests. Cases are not boring. Could be worse. He's open to anything. Answers all questions and likes to have the class debate.MARKETINGMANAG 2005-04-25 22:08:59 +0000 UTC
The class can move slow at times because all he goes over is case studies, however the topic that are brought up are relevant in the real world. Oly a hand full of papers make up your grade... you can either sink or swim... I liked him!MKT101 2005-02-25 15:25:22 +0000 UTC
Good Professor NO MID TERM NO FINAL just 2 Case PapersMKT301 2009-01-04 15:53:41 +0000 UTC
Very sweet. Easy class. 40% participationMKTG3301 2012-12-05 21:47:00 +0000 UTC
It was an OK class. Only 2 cases and a group project. Don't know why my grade wasn't higher. Wouldn't avoid him again, but also wouldn't get in line to sign up for his classes. It was just OK.MKTU301 2007-10-18 10:31:03 +0000 UTC
B- That is his favorite grade. Write an awesome case, B-, wake up the morning before class and write the case, still a B-. I hear the other teacher for this class is alot better. Stick with him unless you enjoy getting B-'s.MKT301 2008-03-07 16:53:45 +0000 UTC
Bob Young is THE best professor in the marketing department. His class is one of the few classes I can honestly say that 4k was spent well. JUST READ THE CASES AND SPEAK UP AND YOU'LL GET AN A. GUARANTEED. Not to mention how much you'll learn doing so..MKTG3301 2011-04-14 13:24:17 +0000 UTC
He doesnt make anything clear. Bad teacher didnt learn anything but how to sleep through a class. We only read case studies. A waste of a class.MKTU301 2004-11-30 00:11:25 +0000 UTC
