• • • "Coming into the class, I did not think Marketing Research would be something that I was interested in, but Professor Pagiavlas proved me wrong. He was engaging, interactive, and overall gave me so much insight and understanding relating to the course."

    • "It is clear he cares about his students' understanding of the content. He has very engaging lectures, and I appreciated how much he wanted to ask us questions and start conversations about the content. His exams were fair and aligned well with the content, and he provided many resources to help us succeed."

    • "Prof Sotos is genuinely one of the most fair graders I've had in my time in college. Not only is his feedback helpful, it's meaningful. You can tell he cares a lot about student success with the amount of time he puts into comments under assignments. I think more professors should be like him."

    • "[One] of the most well put together classes I've had. You give us a complete understanding of the material. It is the first time I can walk away from a class and confidently say I will remember this information years to come."

    • "This is the only professor where I ever felt like no answer was truly a stupid one. I felt comfortable asking any question I needed to and he would answer them no problem."
