Has anyone taken or taking mkt 701 with khan? I'm currently taking him now & it's my last class of the program but I took my first test with him & didn't get the result I wanted. I read & take excellent notes on chapters & lectures. Any other suggestions???

Hi Shay! There are a bunch of reviews of each course and professor in this message board -- the easiest way to search that I've found is to enter the following search string into Google:

Site:tigerdroppings.com/rant/money/lsus-online-mba-reviews/50638829 "Khan" AND "MKT"

Replace my variables above with your own and voila!

What worked well for me was to read the chapters early in the week along with watching the lectures. I would spend the balance of the week working on any writing assignments. When the test was about two days out I would go through the chapters and lectures again, this time taking notes and trying to understand the concepts rather than just the definitions. I would also try to relate these concepts to current events. His tests are difficult but as you get used to his style and what he expects you to understand they get much easier.

Shay,
The problem with Khan isn’t so much the material – it’s that his interpretation of the material on tests differs from the objective facts he actually teaches in his lectures and the textbook. I truly believe that Khan offers a great class where you can learn a TON about marketing if you spend the time necessary. He does a great job of relating current events and different companies to the material. Now turning that knowledge into a good grade? That’s the tough one.
The issue isn’t the material though, it’s his questions on the test. From my experience, he has roughly 60-70% of the questions that are clear. What I mean by this, is that the question is clear, and there is a clear answer if you know the material. The problem occurs with the other 30-40% of the questions. It’s not so much that there are “multiple answers”, it’s that the question can be interpreted multiple ways. Being that he generally has five answer selections, three answers can easily be thrown out. Now, it’s up to you to determine how HE feels the question should be interpreted and select the correct answer.
Of course, he will never admit to this and continuously defend how it’s his students fault for misinterpreting the question during his exam reviews (especially the ones where only 20-30% of the class got the question right). However, when a C is the average grade, it’s time for the instructor to look at himself.
