sernt18,
James also teaches MKT, but the feedback from her class appears to be even worse than the Darrats'. A. Darrat's class was not difficult, just bad pacing and messed up exams. I know that sounds like a contradiction, but aside from weeks 3 and 5 which were a bit exhausting, the class is pretty easy overall. I have a review of the class posted with the "A" strategy. Keep in mind that I took two MKT classes that session, which meant the amount of reading and writing I had to do each week was just insane.
Vines is generally one of the more highly recommended professors. I haven't taken the course yet, but based on previous reviews it appears both Choi and Vines are good choices for FIN.

Based on what I've read here, there are no great options for MKT 701. For that reason, I saved it for the last class of the program. I figured that I'd have sufficient motivation to get through whatever is thrown at me at that point! I'm taking it with A. Darrat. Does anyone recall the name of the former textbook for this course? I wonder if getting a jump start on reading would help...

I took it with James. To say the workload is intense is an understatement. Weekly reading, weekly exam. Most weeks there will be a “discussion forum post” which is really a full blown research term paper in disguise. Then there is “The Project,” a two part monster of an assignment that spans Weeks 4-7. Weeks 4-7 are a test of will to see how much you really want that MBA, since you will be doing reading, tests, research, and writing 2-3 papers simultaneously. Putting in 30+ hours a week during that time period for that course alone is not uncommon during that period.
With that said, much like Meeks, James is up there with the best instructors in the program. The content is useful and can be genuinely applied to modern business. James is super interactive and seems to genuinely care about her students’ success. Just be prepared to put in work well above what is expected in other courses (outside of Meeks, anyhow).
