MKT 536 - Pricing Strategies

Very good content, pretty decent professor, manageable workload; a little too much emphasis on group work though

Prof. Dutta is one of the worst professors I've had at Marshall. He's super repetitive and takes forever to explain basic Marketing concepts. His guest speakers were amazing, though - so much better than class itself. If you're interested in pricing, just take Market Demand & Sales Forecasting with Siddarth - he will go over the basics.

Professor, class, Blackboard and slides are all extremely disorganized and unclear. May be the worst class I've taken at Marshall - Marketing Analytics provides pricing content as well as Market Demand & Sales Forecasting.

Dutta is NOT a good professor. He's disorganized, and does not prepare students for their assignments or midterm.

Professor Dutta is a nice guy but not a great teacher. Not a lot of depth in learning. Would instead recommend Market Demand & Sales Forecasting or Marketing Analytics

The professor makes the class extremely boring though he tries his best. The topic can be interesting which is the reason i chose it, but I wish I hadnt because this class is a waste of my time

Very helpful in understanding both the qualitative and quantitative sides of pricing strategies. Necessary class for marketers who will benefit from this course. Great teacher who ties it back to why what he is teaching matters for MBAs. I recommend this class for all marketers!

I was expecting this class to be heavy in quantitative modeling but it is not. Plus the night time makes it harder to engage. Case discussions are not very interactive and the group assignments come with instructions.

Class content is decent. Couple of good speakers(PhDs who are Principals from Deloitte and have a lot of relevant experience on the topic) Content is useful if you are pursuing product management. Professor not that great.

Solid class as he went through how to use data to help make pricing decisions. Lots of case studies which turned out to be more work than expected. Dutta was helpful and provided clear expectations.

Pricing Strategies are crucial for marketers, but unfortunately the teaching method is not helpful at all. Most key takeaways were taken from the readings.

"Nice class that is a good mix of quant and qualitative marketing. Really usedful and sort of difficult. Dutta is a great professor who is engaging and really intelligent. It is getting increasingly data heavy, but so is the field of marketing"
