This professor is extremely unprofessional and disrespectful to students of different backgrounds. I do not recommend taking any of his courses.MARKETING 2024-01-14 18:44:50 +0000 UTC
His midterm is pretty easy, so is the project. Participation is 30% of your grade though, so make some effort otherwise it will screw you over. He seems really boring at first, but give him a chance he is actually interesting!MKTG4512 2016-02-09 23:20:55 +0000 UTC
There is only one exam its short answers and he tells you what cases from the readings will be on it. His assignments are papers that are not very long (1-5 pages) and as long as you answer the questions on the assignment you will get a good grade and the last assignment is a group paper thats 11 pages long. The only thing is participation is 30%INTERMKTG4512 2015-11-28 15:40:07 +0000 UTC
Professor Rabino is a great guy and a great professor. He cares about what he does and makes jokes. Small write-ups due for each class were annoying, but not that bad. No tests - only one paper & one group paper/ presentation for the whole class. Highly recommended professor.MKTG212 2008-07-15 14:37:19 +0000 UTC
Prof Rabino knows his specialty well, but doesn't challenge enough and doesn't make the issue real enough. Very nice guy and has a lot of experience and knowledge, but I came out of his class wondering what value it added to my MBA education. Prof Sarathy is much more challenging and much better.MKT281 2008-04-15 10:20:55 +0000 UTC
Terribly boring class and Rabino teaches this Senior level class as though we are freshmen. The class consists of reading a case and discussing the target and 4ps. Its not more complicated than that. Doesn't put in any effort for real time examples or videos in class. Really a waste of my tuition and time.MKT512 2008-03-05 16:05:26 +0000 UTC
Excellent teacher. Very knowledgeable. I found the coursework to be very relevant. No complaints, as I thorougly enjoyed his class!MKT501 2007-04-13 17:59:53 +0000 UTC

I think he is an effective instructor with a great sense of humor.MKTG 2004-12-10 14:50:11 +0000 UTC
I dont know what this guy is talking about. Prof Rabino may not be clear at times, but you can always go to him to clarify.MKT 2004-10-19 11:47:38 +0000 UTC
He's an amazing guy! All my friends who took this class after me loved him! He'll make you laugh and his lectures are also interesting, and International Marketing was not a hard class at all. Take him!MARKETING 2015-10-21 19:08:23 +0000 UTC
Great professorMKTG4512 2011-04-19 15:37:16 +0000 UTC
He is a good professor who knows his stuff. He taught well and is funny. The cases were good and he taught some important concepts. The write-ups due in every class was a bit annoying but he did scrap the quizzes which was cool. Overall, a good class to take.MKTG212 2008-06-25 18:53:42 +0000 UTC
I thought he was awesome...gotta love the italian in him. He is extremely knowledgable and so welll educated, it's hard to keep up with him. everything he teaches has a lesson to be learned and all marketing is in the context of real world. He brings a lot of expertise into the classroom and DOES NOT lecture thankfully. I love the guyMKT512 2005-12-03 02:40:23 +0000 UTC
DOes not treat students with respect, storms out of classes, gives additional homework assignments when he cannot get the class to participate.MKTU512 2004-10-24 15:48:02 +0000 UTC
