Keep in mind that Mr. Mahaffey went to Chicago, a top 5 MBA program. He wants Siena students to be Chicago-quality and perform. If you don't want to, then yes, take a different class. His class was hard, but worth it. I went from Siena to another top 5 B-school school partly because of this class. This is also why Siena is now accredited.

If you dont participate in this class then you have to ace the optional midterm and final. You dont have to be a really smart individual to do well in the class but you do have to participate and be active in conversation and debates. He makes the class competitive and interesting. Its two chapter readings per week. Awesome class, good guy.

I've never worked harder for a B+ in my life. The only positive thing I can say about this class is that you really do learn a lot. Quite difficult.

GET ON GOOD SIDE EARLY! He picks favorites and he can be mean. If you don't plan on talking in class every class, do not take him. You need to be very nice to him and participate ALOT! 30% of your grade is participation and the only other grades are a midterm and final. Had to spend a good 3 hours to be prepared. VERY HARD class do NOT recommend!!

Comment:
Tom is perhaps one of the greatest teachers that I have ever had. He expects a lot of his students but he is more than fair. He spells out his expectations on the first day of class and holds you to them. Those who said he was horrible or the "anti Christ" didn't put in the effort to really do well or understand the material. Cheers Tom!

I'm not a business major anymore because of him. For every class, you need to read a chapter, basically teach yourself everything, and prepare 20 discussion questions. I spent hours preparing for every class and it still wasn't good enough. Only grades are 2 participation, an optional midterm, and a final. Don't take him.

Hands down the hardest marketing professor at Siena. You will need to do at least 2hrs of work for each class to get an A. Tom really knows his stuff and will teach you marketing in just one course. If your a real student and actually want to have a career Tom will love you and you will really learn valuable stuff. If not you will do poor.

Mahaffey is a great professor. As long as you put your work into the class and don't try to B.S. your way through the semester, you'll be fine. If you're looking for a challenging course where you want to learn a lot, look for him when you're registering for classes.

Worst professor at Siena! He takes pride in failing Seniors. His class is required for Marketing majors so take him before you are a Senior if you want to walk, or change majors. My advice is the latter, therefore you will not have to suffer through his class.

I'll be lucky to get a C in his class. Mahaffey is the worst grader I've ever had, and practically insults your intelligence when giving back case studies in his stupid feedback comments. Loves to pick favorites, and gets pissed off when students don't understand something from the textbook. Avoid!!

Do not not not take this class. I thought I could handle it but I was SO wrong. I have spent more time on work for this class than any other and still barely have a C. He tears people apart and doesn't help students even if they go to him looking for help. Avoid taking him at all costs!
