Evan was the absolute best teacher I have had in all of college so far! His lectures are fun and engaging, and he makes it super easy to understand the topics. If you are a marketing major, I highly suggest taking a class with him, you will not regret it.Rate My Professors ↗
Evan is INCREDIBLE; easily one of the best professors in the WSB. Lectures are extremely engaging and he is not afraid to challenge students' perspectives to create discussion. He is an extremely caring and passionate professor, you can tell he genuinely wants students to learn and grow from this class.Rate My Professors ↗
An absolute gem. His lectures were interesting and engaging. Grades were not based on a textbook and quizzes and projects were straightforward. You can tell he loves teaching the class which made it very enjoyable. I wish I could have him for every marketing class.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Polman's class is unlike anything I've ever taken at the WSB. He focuses on teaching by creatively engaging students in conversation rather than focusing on memorization/testing/homework. The class is low-stress and not "hard" in the traditional sense, and attendance is very lax, but it will be worth your time to attend and engage.Rate My Professors ↗
He is one of the best professors we have. Take this class!!Rate My Professors ↗
Evan was EXCEPTIONAL. Favorite professor of mine in the marketing school. His lectures are great, the longer term projects are fun and interesting to listen to, and this class as a whole is super thought provoking. I felt cared for by the instructor. I would take any class again with Evan. He's the best.Rate My Professors ↗
