The most effective attributes (characteristics) of the instructor's teaching were:
the comprehensive case analysis and mid terms.
He was entertaining and explained things thoroughly.
I feel like Sanjit really wants his students to do well. He has high expectations, but they weren't unreasonable and it motivated me to work harder in the class. His tests were fair and he never asked questions that he didn't go over in class. He is very knowledgeable on the subject.
Examples given in class and the class discussions about the topics
None
Instructor let the students ask what sections we needed additional coverage on. We essential decided what was going to be covered in the class. He related all concepts to real life companies which helped in the understanding of concepts.
You can tell he is a very, very smart man and is very passionate about everything he teaches.
The professor was very involved in his teachings. Did not read off slides, etc. Had a great sense of humor. Stern but fair.
He has a very friendly demeanor that transcends through his teaching and is amusing
Good review process when preparing for an exam. Good exam timing and breadth of topics.
humor
Group work, real world examples
case study activity.
Examples
Good instructor- tough but fair.

Those attributes of this instructor's teaching which I think should be improved are:
n/a
Sometimes when people raise their hand to make a comment, you shoot them down immediately. In the beginning, it made it hard to participate in the discussion.
None
None
none.
No complaints.
He was my favorite teacher out of all the marketing professors I've had at sfsu
Class length. Wouldn't hurt to not go all the way to the last minute in an evening class. Please give exams when class starts instead of after 1.5 hours of new material lecture. That 1.5 knocked some useful stuff out of my mind.
Lengthy lectures
should organize more his materials.
better slides
Maybe more case studies and a little bit less emphasis on procurement processes

The course could be improved by:
n/a
I really enjoyed the bombardier video because it showed a real life example of a company in their own words. More videos like this would grab people's attention and break up the monotony.
None
I cannot understand what he says because his pronunciation was really bad and cannot listen especially international students.
Great course.
Class start at 1800 vs 1900
My favorite class
more time for class discussions, encourage quiet students to contribute to overall class discussions
effective use of powerpoint slides.
group work spread out throughout the semester.
One thing that went on a little bit was that most class participation was about consumer marketing and not B2B. That tendency probably needs to be controlled by the instructor.
