16. Please list your suggestions for improving the course and/or the instructor's teaching style and methods.
The only issue I had was that there never seemed to be a wrong answer for class discussions. Perhaps that's just how marketing is or maybe Mr. Fujimoto is too nice and doesn't want to correct his students but for me it was unsettling that no matter what anyone said or thought, there was no wrong answer. If my thought process or ideas had issues I would prefer some constructive criticism.
I really enjoyed this class. I understood what burt was teaching, and he was very organized and used real life situations to stress his points.
N/A
No suggestions.
More homework assignments could give a better understanding for the students
