  • As an ENBUS alumni, Prof. Folger-Laronde is incredibly kind and understanding towards our schedules! Overall, it was a simple and effective course.

  • Almost a step up/add on to ENBUS 211 - Marketing for Environment Professionals. Course content was sometimes repetitive but the case studies were interesting. Course consisted of 4 case studies, a midterm, a group project and a final. A lot of free marks so that's a plus. If you don't like presenting or group projects, I would not recommend as an elective. Class timings made the course more annoying to attend but overall it was an okay course. Professor Folger-Laronde was almost always late to class/started class late but was always available during office hours, quickly responded to discussion posts and emails and handed assignments back quickly. His marking is also consistent.

  • Michael Wood is a fantastic instructor, with the content being challenging enough to be interesting. The Strategy Development group project was a great experience. Some content is repeated from previous courses, but overall enjoyable.
