I mean he's ok but a lot of your grade is from group projects and then there are two tests which are 75 questions each and a lot of the questions are worded strange. If you aren't required to take it don't do it.

Best professor I've ever had! If you're interested in sales he'll teach you everything you need to know. Lectures are extremely engaging and I genuinely want to go. He goes above and beyond and will help you with your career. Extremely networked man. Take this class even if you aren't interested in sales. You will learn a ton on business formats.

John Cole really cares about his students. The tests are more difficult than they need to be, I never made an A on either of the two. Only two tests and two group projects that require a decent amount of effort. The tests are a lot of material and you have to take good notes and read the textbook to pass the tests. Learned a lot about sales!

John Cole is by far the best professor I've ever had. MKTG 4343 is a challenging class but if you are interested in Sales, TAKE IT. He has taught me so much and truly cares about each individual student. If you get the chance to participate in the Walton Sales Competition, DO IT. It was a great experience and a huge extra credit opportunity.

Professor Cole was wonderful! I really enjoyed this class and even though it was online I felt like I learned more than even an in-person class. If you read the book you'll pass with flying colors. The group projects aren't bad at all, just make sure you have a good group. I loved mine! I can't say enough great things about this class. Take him!

Zero feedback for final or midterm projects, just a grade. Most of the course was web based, course materials expensive, used poor examples and encouraged ethically ambiguous behavior at best. Do not take this class if you want an involved professor who gives feedback on projects or justifications for grades.

This class was very interesting and I learned a lot. He makes you work for your grade but is there if you need help with anything. The group projects seem like a lot but aren't if you have a good group. The tests are hard but make sure you read the book and take notes. He gives random in class assignments that can make or break your grade.

John is a highly respected professor in the Walton College. He cares a lot about his students and brings in tons of guest speakers to talk about sales in the real world. Taking his class is a great opportunity you should not miss.

He is a good guy but this class is hard. The tests are extremely difficult with a lot of conceptual questions. If you don't have to take this class, then don't. There are easier marketing electives that I wish I would have taken.

Nice guy. Everyone loved him it seemed. I have no interest in sales, so I didn't enjoy the class as much as others. The two tests are big and hard. The presentation and role play arent bad, but stressful. Yes, read the book.

John Cole is one of my favorite professors. He cares about his students and he truly wants to help students be great at selling and sales. He is very friendly and easy to follow in his lectures. The tests are difficult though so don't try to just study the night before and follow the rubric closely for group projects.

John Cole is an outstanding professor and hands down, the best salesperson I have ever met. I'm a real estate agent and sell dozens of homes a year yet I learned so much from his class. I HIGHLY recommend his class if you truly wish to learn sells. However, he is a tough grader. DO NOT underestimate his grading rubric. Choose your groups wisely.

John Cole is great. He really knows a lot about sales and cares about his students. You need to go to class and read the textbook for the test because almost all of the questions come from the text. Test are hard. I enjoyed this class but he makes it pretty tough to get an A.

Professor Cole is a great teacher! He is lecture heavy but if you show up to class, he gives you mainly what you need to know for tests. Choose your group wisely though because the group projects are a big part of your grade in addition to the tests! He really cares and wants you to succeed so I recommend taking him.

John Cole is the best professor I have had at the UofA. I never read the textbook and received a B in the class. Group projects play a huge part in your grade and he does 5 random attendance days. I know I would have made an A if I actually purchased the textbook. He's very passionate about what he teaches. TAKE THIS COURSE

Phenomenal instructor. He's a business owner so he's very familiar with the real world and often incorporates it into lectures. He picks 5 random days to do attendance throughout semester and if you miss the majority of them, you flunk. Exams are moderately difficult (you need to study hard). Great guy. Really wants to help you with career pursuit.
