He has long, boring lectures and he retells stories that are not very helpful. It was easier to read from the slides in order to study.

Is he the best? No. But he's not the worst by any means. I think his teaching style is old fashioned but he is a good guy that is more than willing to help you if you ask for it. Give an effort and you'll at least get a B.

You can't avoid taking him at this point because he's the only prof at Canisius teaching International Marketing. He's ridiculous, hard to work with, and I learned nothing from him other than how not to teach a class.

He's not great but not terrible either. A nice guy but expect him to go on random tangents. Make sure you note what he says about being potential questions on an exam and keep up with assignments.

He's not the worst professor, but he's far from the best. Tests are difficult to study for. Seems like he wings it every class, reading from the slides and showing old VHS or DVD segments.

Nice guy but goes off topic on tangents. These tangents often lead to class running over time. Exam questions based lecture material but not easy to study for. In a given lecture he will give 30 -40 slides of which onl 1 or 2 will be tested material. It is alot of material to review. Being concise is not his strength.

Worst professor I've ever had. Useless and has terrible stories. People think he's funny--he's annoying. I didn't learn anything all semester. Unless you want a migraine after every class--DONT TAKE HIM

Comment:
As advertised, he goes off on tangents. Forces any references to Vietnam that he can make. He'll hold you for 5 minutes after the class ended even though it ran late because of said tangents. He's a decent prof, but is disrespectful of students' time. To top it off, attendance is mandatory. For tests, if something has a list, memorize that.

Comment:
I would drop out of the college before taking another class with Prof Snyder. Tangents last longer than course topics. Completely inconsistent with graded assignments. Says one thing than forgets and grades differently. Midterm had 5 chapters of content, final had 13. Examples used in class outdated, nothing later than 2001.

Not bad at all. Spends a lot of time talking about rather irrelevant topics but its bearable; and he's a fair grader. A good grade is very doable if you show up, and do all the assignments

Comment:
If your an international student, you will more than likely do well in this class considering he seems to like them the most. He talks more about his life and family than on the information presented about the class. If you end up taking him, read the powerpoints yourself and know your information. The case studies are fairly easy, but the exams ar

Such a boring class. He talks about irrelevant topics, and reads the power point in the last 15/20 minutes. You could read the book yourself at home. I would not recommend him.

Dr. Snyder is a great guy. He tells a LOT of personal stories but they aren't too bad. He didn't give too much direction for the project. His tests are not too hard, the essays are easier than the multiple choice. Overall he is a great teacher, I recommend him!

Exams were of long essay format. Many student used entire blue book on the final! Lectures are unbearable! Spends way too much time virtually reading the PowerPoint slides to you. I could have done that on my own. Goes off on irrelevant tangents for most of the class then rushes to jam in the real material in the last 5 minutes often running over!

This class was very easy. The homework is simple busy work and the exams come right from his overhead presentations. He tends to get distracted from the subject matter, but I enjoyed having him as a teacher. Exams are mainly essay format.

Took Marketing Management with him for my MBA. He's very friendly and easy going, and a good grade is assured if you pay attention in class and put the work in. Highly recommended. But beware, he loves to tell stories and goes off on tangents all the time!

He is the best person to take Marketing with at Canisius College because he is fair and clear. The Marketing Dept at Canisius is awful in my opinion, but Dr Snyder is someone you have to take!

90-95% of class time is spent listening to him talk about his family. Very basic marketing concepts that are pretty much common sense. You still have to go to class b/c he takes attendance.

He is a wacko, but the class is easy, you cant get an A unless he knows you ,so you should join the marketing society and then you can get an A, 4 tests, and he drops one, the 3 assignments are really easy, you do have to read the book, dont pay attention
