Comment:
Students Beware! The most monotonous class I have ever taken. Almost inaudible even with his microphone. Forces you to endure the pain of listening to him review his PP slides due to his many pop quizzes. Class is harder then any intro to mktg class should ever be. Avoid if possible.

Comment:
WORST teacher I've had at uic. He speaks to softly, even with a microphone. His PowerPoint slides are gibberish, he often has repeating slides throughout his 80 side presentations. He's way past his prime, and thinks much too highly of himself. DO NOT TAKE

Not a good teaching professor at ALL!! im sorry but he is too old to be still teaching!! he is extreamely intelligent and knowledgable but you cannot understand wat he is trying to teach because he speaks verryyy softly even with a loud mic. his TA does it all for him.POP quizzes are not bad, but tests are too long and straight off the book.boring!

Avoid! Hard tests, boring, annoying, and pop quizzes. Hopefully he retires soon so no one needs to deal with his nonsense. I'm still unsure if I should use the book to study for the tests; very unclear on everything

Comment:
Worst professor I have ever had. Rambles on about nonsense that does not relate to material but that he feels is important. Encourages and then discourages use of the book because he thinks it is a helpful tool, but doesn't teach out of the book at all. Lectures do not match the book at all. He is very annoying and old and hard to understand.

Study the lecture slides and you're guaranteed at least a B. Even without the extra credit.

Comment:
King was okay at best. His tests were 100 q's each, very hard. All based on his powerpoint slides and his in class lectures. The book proved to be pretty useless. The curve is pretty decent at the end, but I still ended up with a D because I didn't study much. I wouldn't recommend him unless there are no other options. His tests are tricky imo.

Comment:
This class took up as much time as a 5 hour class. I read the entire book from cover to cover while taking notes, then memorized the lecture slides and my notes from the book. Got high B's on all exams but he uses a standard bell curve so people's grades get hurt because of that. Do the extra credit paper. Got an A, but it was a hard A to get.

Easy class if you can memorize the terms etc. I got an A with none of the extra credits, so yes, it's possible. Lecture was unbelievably boring/useless but you have to go because he gives pop quizzes. He can be funny once in a awhile.

Comment:
Can be nasty (calls students out when talking during his lectures, takes down their name, etc. in front of class). Does test on material not explicitly covered during lectures. Covers entire textbook during one semester. Has habit of ranting and repeatedly bringing up same negative personal issues over and over again.

His class is ok for introductory level marketing. Secret to his class is keeping up with the chapters and memorizing key terms in the textbook. He's funny at times but so much to memorize for just one class. I got my A just reading the textbook and memorizing terms!

King is terrible if you can get out of taking him please do. I don't know how so much evil can be in one person all his exams are memorization. If you can memorize about 200 slides per exam you can get an A. Do as much EC as possible you will need it!

Honestly, this instructor is outdated, he should consider going to other professor's lecture and compare himself to them. His voice plus powerpoint slide will put you to sleep.

Pros: You learn about mktg. Lots of extra credit opportunity to make up for bad scores on quizzes and exams. Exams are heavily based on power point slides but don't ignore the textbook. Cons: He's angry alot. Covers too much information. Doesn't pace himself. Will be slow then speed up by skipping slides which is not helpful.

King was so easy. He can be a jerk, but he is reasonable. If you don't get a good grade, it's your own fault bc he gives so much opportunity to boost your grade. Don't miss a pop quiz. Did not even do the optional research paper and only got 42/60 on tests and still got an A.

TERRIBLE. "Mini King" is so cocky and full of himself i dont know how his giant ego fits inside his little 3ft 4in tall body. Test are VERY HARD even if you study ALOT. He tested us on chapters he never even lectured on because he got behind. why? bcuz of his constant rambling about him self. he is a used car salesmen wearing a marketing hat.

OMG!!! You have to attend class. He gives quizzes for the most basic of lectures. You have to cram a lot. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT!!! (even though it's a lot of work) and you'll be fine :)

Attendance is mandatory cuz he likes to surprise students with pop quizes. Class is very boring you might want to read about something else during his class or bring your laptop. Just read the book and make the extra credit research paper and you should get an A or B.

Bring a laptop to lectures, just attend every lecture(the whole lecture, he might give out 2 quizzes one day, one in the beginning and one in the end). Big curve in the end of the class (yes, he curves after the final). Easy class, just do the research paper, then it's a must A class.
