Comment:
This class is alright. It's an easy subject but he makes the tests harder than they need to be. He doesn't use a text book and his lectures are boring as heck. He tests you on very detailed information, so take notes on every little detail. The assignments are easy, just follow his instructions to the tee. Got a B, but I had to work hard for it.

Comment:
Professor isn't too bad, he's just obsessed with Dell to a great extent. Also, I don't understand how an Online course is expected to have a group assignment that needs a hard copy submitted, but he does so. Tone can get boring and repetitive, but he's not that bad a guy. Exams are simple enough, but work out a study guide!

Comment:
Avoid this fossil like the plague. I get "amped" to sit down and hit the books hard... after about 15 mins of this senior citizen's slow and monotone dribble my forehead hits the desk. He has nothing useful to say and the lack of a text book makes these exams extremely challenging. If you have the choice DO NOT TAKE THIS "professor" or this class.

Comment:
First 2 exams seemed fair, he tells you whats on the exam so you can narrow it down. Projects not hard, but I always missed 1 or 2 points. Do the extra credit. Final exam was harder than the first 2 exams. He's not as bad as people make him sound, but he does come off as a jerk and tells outdated stories that 20 something year olds cant relate too.

If you like a class that does not offer you a textbook and gives everything based on power point slides and class lectures with tests questions coming from planet mars take him. He gives out assignments and exams that nobody ever gets 100% on. There is a extra credit in his class that if you sign up for it and miss out he will deduct points. AVOID

Dr. Rubin has a passion for his subject, thats for sure. You will learn a lot in this class, but it is also difficult. Pay CLOSE attention to his entire lectures, take notes on EVERYTHING. There is no text book, so notes are everything. He's a good professor but students looking for an easy A shouldnt take this class.

Ridiculous teacher! Loves technology and thinks the world revolves around it. His lectures are vague and tests on completely opposite material than the lectures. I got the worst grade of my educational career from him, so much that I'm switching my minor! DON'T TAKE HIM!

Comment:
Terrible would summarize my experience with Dr. Rubin. Everything I've read on this site is reasonably true about him. He's got a passion for technology and computers but not Marketing. You will suffer through this class unless your a PC Sci major. He's just ridiculous. UCF needs to get rid of this guy plain and simple... Disgusting

Comment:
He needs to retire. He accused people of cheating on ASSIGNMENTS,he never stated that we couldn't work together outside of class. As a result he gave out 0's like it was nothing AFTER we evaluated him. This guy needs to retire, hes senile!Oh and by the way, the entire world doesn't revolve around DELL!Its a marketing class, not a technology class.

If you take Ronald for Marketing Intelligence be aware that he is not a very good professor. His class is borrring to watch and go to. His assignments should be taken seriously although the information is from other classes not his. His tests are just like the assignments, rarely does he say or go over anything he tests. Take a different professor.

This guy is virtually impossible. If I could do it all over again I would extend my graduation and take a different professor in the future. I swear this guy makes his tests from other classes he's taught and not mar.intel. If GPA is important to you, take another professor! Don't believe me? See for yourself, you will be sorry. Thats a promise!

Worst professor at UCF seriously! His tests aren't so bad but its like he has no life so he never wants to give good grades out, even to those who turn in great work. I'm a good student but he doesn't give the credit to those of us who work really hard to make good grades. He takes off points for everything!!! Don't take him if you have a choice!

I attended one class the entire semester and still pulled a B+. However, notes are somewhat incomplete and you will need to get them from someone else if you do the same. Tests are administered in testing lab and the final is super hard. Also, make sure you have a decent group.

Do not take him!! He sets you up to fail! He thinks that his test averages should be below 70%. His assignments aren't hard, but he takes off points for everything! He offers extra credit, but it is impossible to get all of the points. Take this class with someone else!

Super boring class, teacher uses personal examples, somewhat interesting material, but didn't see much relevance to marketing. 4 group assigments, which are pretty easy but a big waste of our time! tests are VERY HARD and sometimes ambiguous. Would not take this teacher again, too boring and too much of a waste!

Worst teacher i have ever had in UCF. His lectures are a waste of time and all he talks about his life own examples that won't help you pass. There are 4 group projects...they are easy but he grades them harshly. The exams are impossible to pass and nothing he talks about are on them. Extra credit is a joke. 76% of my class failed.

The guy is a jerk. lectures are extremely boring, but you have to go to get the notes because he doesn't post them online. Makes you feel dumb for asking questions. I hear he is retiring this year. I would not recommend him.

This is not an easy A. His lectures are terribly long and boring. The assignments are easy, but he is a hard grader. Get a good team. Test are almost impossible to get a decent grade on. They cover way too much material. He's a nice person, but a horrible teacher. Avoid him at all costs. Did not learn anything in this class.

Comment:
This is probably the most pointless class in the marketing major. He lectures the entire time about a bunch of stuff that doesn't even seem relevant to marketing. 4 group assignments are easy but he makes them hard by not specifying what the hell he wants for them. Gives up to 20 points of EC though and curves each test a few questions.
