Comment:
Most challenging class I had this past semester. However, if you work hard, a good grade is achievable. He takes attendance each week, and also gives you points for in-class assignments. Get the textbook, fully read the chapters covered in each respective exam, and take notes from the book. Good stories and discussion every lecture is a plus.

Not clear what to study for tests. Spends a lot of time in class on one thing and the tests are all about minute details. Gotta read the book and study vocab. Pop quizzes were rather tricky. Feels like he wants the best for students, just makes it really difficult to get there

Comment:
Tests are not on the material he teaches in class, but almost entirely from the book, which you need to read and digest ever tiny detail, because he'll make sure he picks out the smallest phrase to put onto the test. Also, he covers way too many chapters per test, making studying for them a gigantic pain. This should be an easy class. Avoid.

One of the worst professors I've had at UNCC. As other people have stated, his tests are not related to the material that is covered in class. Class is basically just him trying to confuse you. Pop quizzes are given for attendance (because there is no reason to go to class). I'm sure he's nice and all, but I hated him as a professor.

When I met this man, I was like "Ok cool guy, easy class, I will get an A". Jump to the end of the semester and my grade is hanging on a noose and ready to fail. His tests are brutal and are not related to anything in class or powerpoints. Random pop quizzes that are difficult as well. Do not take this class unless it's required.

He's the kind of guy that makes a significantly weighted online quiz due at 5:30 PM and not midnight. Tests are confusing (no clear answer, need exact textbook definitions)

Im shocked he has such a high score, honestly. Test score averages were pitiful. He makes the class incredibly hard for what it is. Dont take him if you care about your GPA. Whelan is 500% better.

4 exams, optional final IF the overall class average sucks. Yeah, it wasn't optional at first. Like everybody has mentioned, the class is harder than what it should be. Don't bother with the ppts, just read the textbook and memorize EVERYTHING cause he uses detailed questions like "What's the third step of this?" Attendance is MANDATORY. Goodluck!

Show up to class to get participation points, they make a difference. The material isnt hard but there is a lot of it. Be prepared to read, he covers 22 chapters. He chooses details from the textbook to put on the exam- read each chapter thoroughly. Lectures are enjoyable. He has an interesting personality. Optional final. He really likes cookies.

Comment:
DO NOT TAKE HIM. His mediocre powerpoints are useless and are not even related to his tests. You HAVE to read the textbook and practically memorize every word. Each exam consists of 5-6 chapters which is overwhelming. Tests are multiple choice, but each answer is so similar it is difficult to chose the right one. He's just looking to fail students

I was really expecting to love this class. Man was I wrong. You would expect the lectures to go with the test, but that is not the case. Unfortunately I learned the hard way by the end of the semester and now I am fighting my way to a C. He is a really nice guy and he knows what he talking about. He just needs to slow down a bit and go by the book.

This is an introduction into Marketing class, and I did enjoy Professor Bodkin's lectures. However, each exam covers 5 chapters of the book, which was overwhelming. You HAVE to read the book. It is the only way to do well on the exams, because he makes them very tricky.

Comment:
This professor requires a lot for an intro marketing class. He gives exams every few weeks and covers a lot of material within that amount of time. His lectures cover a chapter a day and he gives easy participation grades at the end of class. Exams are pretty difficult and you have to read the textbook to pass them.

If you're stuck with this prof , attend every single class but bring your book and read the entire time. His slides and lectures are pointless. Memorize the book word for word and maybe you'll get a C. I AM AN A/B STUDENT! But now i have to look forward to my first D thanks to this NON teacher. Who hires these teachers?

Unnecessarily difficult exams that may contain anything from the book. Power points provided in class have very little information on them and are no help at all for studying for the exams. BUY the book and get used to reading full chapters if you want anything over a C. If you are in search of an easy A, AVOID this professor.

Marketing Concepts is an information overload course. Bodkin expects you to know the material prior to class. His lectures are very rushed and not in depth. Read the book, take notes, show up to class. Grades come from exams (4) and daily attendance.

I ended up withdrawing from this course today because of this man. I am a marketing major I received a 62% on the last exam we had WITH a curve. This professor does not care how well his students do in fact he wants them to fail. He makes the exams so tricky that you leave thinking you did fine but then you end up failing. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS.

This class is way harder than it needs to be. You will think you understand the material until you get your test grade back. MEMORIZE THE TEXTBOOK. His lectures are pointless. Only made a B in the class because I took the optional CUMULATIVE final.
