Professor is very nice. But, the lecture is boring and long. Tests are always tricky.MKTG2201 2019-02-11 15:56:21 +0000 UTC

Professor Lerra was very passionate about the course and had tons of experience on the real marketing fieldINTROTOMKTG 2014-11-18 10:26:26 +0000 UTC
Prof. Lerra made this learning experience a lot of fun. His assignments made you learn while you worked on them. His tests were multiple choice but made you thinkMKT1001 2013-10-16 18:42:30 +0000 UTC
He is a great professor. Very passionate about marketing. Exams are all multiple choice and there is no final. Also he always made jokeMKTG 2013-04-29 07:55:09 +0000 UTC
The best professor that I ever had though he taught at Quinsigamond community at the time. He was always helpful, direct, supportive. I would love to take classes from him again. He even helped me do role play job interviews which helped me get my job that I have been at for 10 years now. I totally loved him!!MKT101 2010-01-08 15:58:53 +0000 UTC
He's extremely enthusiastic and will keep you engaged. If you pay attention and go to class you'll likely get an A. Everyone gets an A on the final project. He's a little intimidating at first, but he'll grow on you.MKTG2209 2009-12-08 00:44:15 +0000 UTC
LERRA is the best teacher @ NEU iv'e had yet...he is extremely entertaining and has his favorites who he picks on every lecture (so get on his good side) Really enjoyed his teaching style, tests asre easy as long as you read the textbook "Keep it simple stupid KISS" ... and if your italian thats even better. Really nice guy!MRKT209 2009-05-04 23:08:36 +0000 UTC
Very friendly and helpful. Passionate about topic. Makes it interesting. Final is not cumulative. 8 HWs and 3 Tests. No quizzes. 1 group project. He likes people to attend class but understands if you have to miss one or two.MKT209 2009-04-08 16:35:05 +0000 UTC
The material is all common sense but he makes it pretty easy. Sit in the front or in his view. Once he knows your name he will use you non-stop for examples so you sort of have to be paying attention but it will definitly benefit you immensely in the endMKTU201 2009-01-13 16:33:27 +0000 UTC
Professor was Great!!! Just participate in class and sit close to the front. Try to get him to know your name within the first week and you are golden. Class is a little repetitive but he is very clear. Use of book for tests and asks how you want the test to be formatted. Really enjoyed his class :)MKT201 2008-09-10 13:24:27 +0000 UTC
Easy class if you go. Easy grader as well. Very easy going and flexible with his schedule of due dates and etc.MKTU301 2008-04-09 17:47:07 +0000 UTC
Best professor I've ever had.MKTU101 2007-12-12 14:51:14 +0000 UTC
GREAT GUY! So helpful, fun, and kind. I loved him!MKTSECT 2007-04-03 15:41:41 +0000 UTC
The easiest teacher ever! Very clear and straight to the point, no wasting time. Lots of small (EASY) assignments, take home exam, this time he skipped the midterm, but usually take home midterm. Easiest professor you could ever have. Teaches Intro to Mkt, Consumer Behavior and Advertising/Mkt in the new Millennium- TAKE HIM!MKTADVT 2007-03-30 11:18:38 +0000 UTC
