Comment:

Most of the grade comes from the group project that you work on throughout the semester. Ask him for as much feedback as you need. Hard to stay awake during his lectures. Most people were on their laptops/phones. He takes attendance daily. Exams were difficult. He curves at the end, so you don't really know where your grade stands.

This class was one of the harder ones I've taken, next to mis301. Tyagi does mandatory attendance based on a seating chart. His lectures are so boring... he talks at the speed of a snail and it puts you to sleep. The group project is a lot of work, but he spaces it out throughout the semester which makes it easier at the end. Tests were hard.

Comment:

Boring class. He reads off ppts the whole time as students write as quickly as they can. He will not post the ppts on blackboard. 25% of the grade hw/participation/attendance then 3 exams @25% each. The HW each week is 100 LS questions. He does not update attendance/participation/ex cr grades until final grade. Exams can be a bit tricky- 60 MC qs.

Don't sit in the back, I could barely hear him even when he adjusted the volume. Takes attendance, creates a seating chart for it. Lectures are same material as the book, the exams felt just like the LearnSmart homework for me. Lectures are long and boring. Average exam difficulty.

grade is based on 3 exams and one major group project. make sure to get a good group and don't wait till last minute to start this project! exams are tough but doable. focus on taking good notes in class because thats what the exams are based on. do well early to give yourself a cushion for 3rd exam. otherwise pretty standard for upper division.

He is really really boring to listen to, but pretty easy class. Just take notes in class when he writes on the board and study powerpoints and read pages he tells you. 4 test, ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY, he has a seating chart and takes attendance by it everyday.

Comment:

Absolute JOKE! Avoid him if you can. He represented everything that is wrong with the MBA: No industry experience, treats you like a child, and completely out of touch with current business. How can you honestly run a marketing research class with no qualitative research work. All that was bad but the lecture was the worst, dry and meaningless.

He was a great professor! His lectures were a little dull at times but he was very helpful and the tests were straight from the book and lecture. If you put the time in, you will do well in this class.

Prof. Tyagi is awesome! Probably my favorite prof. at State. Attend lectures and took good notes and you'll be fine. Never opened the textbook and got an A (he tests directly from his notes). The group project is long and tedious but if you get a good group then you should be fine. Take him if you want to learn something and want a helpful teacher

This class isn't that bad, just read the book thoroughly and take good lecture notes (most questions come from it). I took it in summer school so the project wasn't that bad, but make sure to pick a good group.

very nice teacher. test are all about the lectures so pay attention. I learned a lot and the tests are not very hard if you pay attention. I think he's the best teacher to take for marketing. Fair grader. Take in summer so you won't have to do project. just 3 tests.

Comment:

Very understanding. He told our class we didn't have to do presentations for our projects since we fell behind. Pushed back tests when he felt we needed more time to study. No study guide but if you take good notes he covers everything that will be on the test in class. Text book is good for clarification. Not too bad of a class.

I thought he was great. He's a super nice guy and he's really funny. He definitely wants you to learn and is super helpful. Just write down what he writes on the board and you're good. 3 tests and a project. He's very reasonable too. Like if he thinks we need more time to study for a test, he'll push it back. Highly recommended.

He is a really nice teacher. All tests are based on lecture. Pay attention in class bc you will need to focus on what he writes on the board. I took this during summer and he gives you clear instruction on what you need to study. Tests can be a little tricky, so pay attention to the small details. Overall not bad class I got a B.

Textbook required for exams. Exams based largely on lectures, so you need to go to class. Project is difficult. Grades fairly. Not too hard, but it's not an easy A. Have to work for your grade.

He is a very nice person and grades on a curve. Lectures are super boring and hard to pay attention to. Write down everything he writes on the board. Pick a good group its 20% of ur grade. each test(4) even the final are 60 MC, 15% of grade. Participation is 15% of grade to. Ask questions and comment he loves it. Go 2 office hours and he'll help

Although a nice guy he can be very confusing. I found his lectures and instructions hard to follow. Also pick a good group, it is your biggest grade in the class!
