Professor David Hazelton has been an amazing first instructor. He is widely available to his students and provides ample feedback on all assignments. He has been a joy to learn from and Iwill miss having him as an instructor.

Prof. H is kind, sincere, and is able to provide constructive feedback that is not harsh or judgmental. He did an outstanding job at setting program expectations, remaining available for questions, and even offering to remain in contact as I progress through my degree. Prof. H is an outstanding teacher and I can't image kicking off the program with anyone more supportive.

Prof. Hazelton pushed me to dig deep, to challenge myself, and to raise the bar. I completed my bachelor’s degree many years ago and the return was daunting. He was supportive, but also set clear expectations. Needless to say, I got back into the groove quick. I was able to reach out to him concerning class related topics and just marketing questions in general.
