A Podcast for all classes should be available ASAP!
 
All Marketing courses should have more involvement with outside companies or businesses.
 
I actually would like this department to be more rigorous and challenging. Too often, I lose interest in classes because I do not feel I can get anything more substantially valuable from a lecture as I would if I were to simply read the textbook on my own.
 
I am very dissatisfied with the number of group projects we are required to do in this major. I find myself getting paired up with complete idiots that don't know how to do the group work and/or who don't care. You really should consider revising the group component of this major. I think that the group projects should only be required in the MKTG632, MKTG633, and MKTG 649 classes. I also think that they should be worth no more than 30% of the grade. Please change this for future marketing majors.
 
MORE ONLINE COURSES PLEASE!!! WE NEED MORE FLEXIBILITY.
 
Please offer more Marketing classes on M, W, and F. A large majority of Marketing classes are only offered on T and TH. This makes it very difficult for individuals to register for classes that work on T and TH.
 
The SFSU marketing faculty is a good blend of talents. The marketing instructors are brilliant, dedicated to the field, and care about their students. The Marketing classes I took were challenging yet fun. My social and communication skills were greatly improved because of marketing. I will definitely recommend this course to a friend. Keep up the good work!
