Comment:

You will love Kitz at first, but then the rest of the semester drags on. His lectures don't really contain a lot of great information, but you have to go to them because there is attendance and he picks random things from his lectures to put on the test. He often rambles and doesn't convey a lot of interesting information, going off on tangents.

Easier than other classes I've taken here at Kelley. He sometimes contradicts himself and regularly goes on rants about things that don't matter in lecture which is frustrating but you have to attend lecture for clicker points. He's a nice guy though and the class is easier than some of the other icore components.

I loved him as a professor. He made me love marketing. Class has clicker points and you can skim the tectbook readings to pass exams. I would love to have him again.

Asks "bad" questions on exams; questions are poorly worded or irrelevant. This can be very frustrating.

If confusion and depression could be rolled up into a person, it would be Greg Kitzmiller. His questions are ridiculous and he blatantly acknowledges he's out to befuddle you with the way he words and structures questions. Only reason i passed this class was because I cut all ties from the outside world. One of my least favorite teachers so far.

Kitz was a pretty cool guy, but I didn't like the way he taught. His lectures were often somewhat different than the material we were tested on. It was unclear what was going to be on the exams. The exam was the poorest written exam I've ever taken. Make sure you go to class for clicker points.

Daily in-class clicker questions. Tests are 50 questions, multiple choice, and a mix of conceptual and quantitative. Provides a lot of examples (especially from his work experience).Textbook is required - supplementary readings are tested on. Very clear about what he expects you to know and variations from how the text defines material. Funny

Comment:

He is honestly the most annoying person I have ever encountered. At least half the class is spent on clicker questions or him talking about the clickers. He loves to comment on how many people respond to each question. Unfortunately you have to go to class to get clicker points, but the material is fairly easy so as long as you read you'll be fine.

His lecture slides are incredibly complicated and sometimes his lectures don't match up with them. Read the book and extra readings, he loves to ask specific questions from them on the test. Not my favorite teacher, but he wants to see his students do well.

Kitz takes an interest in his students and uses real-life examples to help you understand the material. He is not at all egotistical just because he brings up prior work and who honestly cares how a professor dresses if you learned something that day? Is he the clearest and most organized professor I have ever had? No, but he get the point across.

I'm surprised to see the amount of students that are giving Kitz bad reviews. To me, he was extremely helpful and had a lot of enthusiasm for what he was teaching. You have to go to class because there are clicker questions but they help you understand the material. I loved his interest in marketing and I value having him as a teacher.

It baffles me that this man has been able to hold down any job, ever. I'm not sure if he knows which way is up, and which way is down. His slide deck looks like complete garbage, he is unprofessional, and doesn't dress like a Kelley professor should. Half the class is answering clicker questions so he doesn't have to teach the whole time.

Not a helpful professor. He wants you to read the whole textbook but he doesn't test you on all and he doesn't tell you which parts can be ignored. you always have tons of chapters to read. His PPTs are not organized at all. He also wastes a lot of time on clicker questions. Don't even bother to go to his office hours, he's even worse one on one!

Unprofessional, unorganized, and horrible at teaching class concepts. Slides always have errors or are unclear, makes class material much more than it needs to be. LOVES to use Apple as example for everything. Shows lack of professionalism through his work and how he dressed, takes full advantage of Kelley's no formal dress code policy.

No matter what he tells you, the test is 80% vocab and 20% simple math. He will say that it's over marketing concepts but study vocab. Besides that, he is egotistical and constantly talks about his past work experience.

He is a great professor. He uses tons of real life examples. Never about memorizing, but about understanding concepts that are actually applicable to the real world. He can be a little lame, but that doesn't take away from enjoyment of class or the lessons, just gives him personality.

He is more interested in talking about his past work than about actually teaching the class. Don't bother asking questions, you won't get a direct answer and the answer you do get will be riddled with condescending or rude remarks.

Comment:

He is not interested in his students at all. He is only interested at seeming "cool" and informing you of his prior career at Gatorade. Only teaches you a small spectrum of marketing...Kitz's version of marketing. Heard good things about him, but he did not live up to the hype at all. Very rude in one on one meetings.

Comment:

Horrible instructor; he isn't interested in teaching you, he is interested in making you laugh. However, he isn't funny. He makes cheap jokes about beer and cocaine, but at the end of the day everything I learned about Marketing could have been taught to be me by reading a few chapters of our book. Doesn't proofread tests.
