Take class online. 1 hour of homework per week, and you don't have to read anything. Easy grade.

Very strict. Need to read instructions carefully. If you do what have to, easy grade.

wow.. she's awsome.. no she doesn't give alot of work... i took her short term.. yes there was about 2 assigments due and a test.. but that's any class. in shot session.. she will do anything in her power to help you pass the class an easy A.. if u know ur**** and are commited to doing ur work properly... great teacher..highly recomended..

She was very nice and helpful and there when I needed her most. I can't wait for English next year. I would really like t have her again and would love to see her smiling face. I hope one day she will teach a student like me and they will enjoy her as much as I have. She is the best, best, best, best, best, best, best, best, best, best, best.

Read the Syllabus.

I took CIS32 with her online. Class was relatively straightforward - she is very responsive if you have any issues/questions I liked the class very much

This has to be the best online class ive ever taken..........you will never regret taking her because she layouts what is expected in its simplest form......took the 8 week class and was easier then my lib 1 class online and its 3 units........she also rocks ED HARDY gear lol.......got an A in this class......do yourself a favor and take it.....

Excellent! By far my favorite class this semester. She really knows her stuff, and if you show up (on time!) and do the work - it's an easy A. She tries to make it fun, and if you take her in the Fall, she'll share her kids' Halloween candy!

You would have to try reeeeally hard NOT to do well in this class! Full credit for hw even if turned in with some mistakes. she also brings in candy and cupcakes! Would be the ideal class to take online. Instructions are crystal clear and concise. U need text to complete some hw.

Perfect! Instructions are crystal clear. You need text to complete HW. I learned a lot. It's a very useful class.

Not much to say... Follow the instructions and you'll get an A! Ideal for Online class

She's a really great professor. The class is set up so that you have to try hard not to get an A in it. The assignments are fun to do.

Easy A! Take this class.

Great class!

Great Professor and manageable class.

Good class.

She teaches very well! All the teachings go directly towards the quiz and projects. She also provides the 'practice test' to improve your skills before the quiz, exam, projects, etc. Follow her lead and definitely get an A!

Very direct. YOu must do the work in order to get the grade. Loved the class..

BEST PROFESSOR IN SMC!! If you need to take this class by all means take her class! I highly recommend her as a professor instead of taking it online. She explains everything like a pro! I loved coming to her class and would love to take it again!!

The class is great especially for people who have test anxiety and don't want to take test. You won't have to deal with taking tests in this class. (CIS 1) As long as you do all your work on time you will get an A. The textbook was kind of inspirational and thought provoking.

Like the Issues assignments. Very thought provoking...

Great teacher, she explains very well and she gives lots of extra credit..

Just do all the tests and assignments and you will pass

This class is extremely easy to pass. All you need to do are the assignments and show up to class occasionally. She's a great professor, very nice, upbeat and she really does care about her students. The book is really not necessary. I would prefer this professor over others

Great semester!

She's very straight forward, crystal clear and loves helping her students!! Gives lots of homework, but I improved my computer skills ;) TAKE COURSE WONT REGRET plus she gives out chocolate!!

LOVE HER! Needed the class for my business requirements&I'm happy I took her. She was simple and straight-forward. Easy way to get an A is to go to class&just do all the homework on time. Don't even need to buy the book. Don't talk in class&there on time. Also just participate because if she knows your name she'll help you even more. 70%&up is an A

I have Ms. Rothaupt for an Online course CIS 01 so this review is mainly for people who are contemplating this professor for and online class. The points system is super easy to understand. The assignments are easy to do as well, if you don't get it honestly there is something wrong with you or you are not trying hard enough.

Awesome Prof. Awesome class

Very interesting instructor, very helpful, gives you very good comments to improve your skills, very fun class, you'll enjoy it that's for sure

Homework every week that requires the textbook. Not difficult to understand and the professor is available via email.

Awesome

Online course is very straight forward. Turn in your work on time and pass.

good teacher

Professor Rothaupt , helps students understand what work needs to be complete and gives a feeling of worthiness and felt welcomed. Thanks Professor.

really fun class, Prof. Brenda is a helpful person ever. her class is easy to understand not difficult and you will also learn a lot of things

Professor Rothaupt creates her course in a way that goes from basic to advanced in a relatively painless manner. I highly recommend her to anyone seriously interested in learning how to use and manage MS Access databases.

Glad I picked her. Her syllabus was crystal clear and easy to follow. I never felt confused or puzzled by anything she assigned. A lot of busy work, but I actually learned a lot, and I'm someone who considers themselves to be pretty well versed with these sorts things. Recommended!

Prof. Rothaupt did not make this course harder than it should be. Her syllabus and instructions were very easy to follow. Very responsive to email with clear answers. Class was not really hard but took a lot of time, keep the deadlines and do as you are asked to and you'll get an A.

Gives very clear, specific instructions. The work itself is simple and a bit boring, doesn't vary much, but if you like consistency, she's a solid choice. Doesn't accept late work and no extra credit available, but you have an entire week to do the work, so it doesn't pose much of a problem. Textbook is a must-have.

she's so great! her personality makes a dull class bearable. show up, follow along with what she does on her computer, go home and do the homework. PASS W/ AN A! you only need to receive 70% on your assignments to get full credit

took this class online over summer. pretty much an easy A, not much homework and what was given was straight from the book. End of chapter question did require some researching but not hard,

very silly nice teacher, just do the modules every week and you will pass with A. I think this class is super easy. shes helpful and the modules are not too bad. if youre good with computers and technology, youre good! believe me, take her. easiest class ever. just do your work thats all:) she gives u like 5 attempts for the module exams!:)

I highly recommend taking her class, I took CIS 1 online with her for my major requirement. The class was very easy if you already know about computers. She gives feedback on your assignments and seems very sweet. You'll need the textbook for your assignments. I will definitely take her again!

Professor Rothaupt's class is very clear and concise. Make sure you complete ALL of your work before the deadlines and you earn a high grade. She will also respond to your emails within 24 hours.

I recommend taking her class. Clear and easy class if you do the assignments before deadline. I took her online class, the materials we used were useful and helped a lot to get better at Microsoft Office. You dont need to read texts, all the assigments are practical.

Prof. Rothaupt is AWESOME! Her CIS 70 - Social Media has been incredible. You learn so much! The lectures are great and she makes it fun. The notes and assignment outlines are thorough and clear. There are social media apps I didn't even know existed! Take this class! You will not be disappointed. One of the best online classes I've ever taken!!!

Professor Rothaupt is amazing. Her classes are very fun and entertaining. In her class there is never a dumb question. The class is an easy A if you just follow the directions and ask for help if you need it. I recommend anyone to take her classes. She is one of the best professors at SMC.

Was a great teach for the Spring '19 online course. Class was fairly easy and if I had any questions she would respond fairly quick. She provided all the lectures and notes online.

Any class with her is super easy. She breaks down the assignment for you, and she grades you based off of those. You can literally use them as a checklist. It's really easy to do well in this class. Just make sure you actually do the work, however. If you can't find something, watch the STEP-BY-STEP videos, or email her! Best professor ever!

Super simple online class, an easy A. I'm a returning student and have been in the business world for 20 years, and picked up some new tools from taking this class. Professor super responsive and you can tell she cares, even for an online class. Really happy I took this class.

I really enjoyed this class and learned so much about computer technology and its use. The online program was easy to use and made learning the information easy. The professors information and reminders for the completion of assignments was great.

She made sure I knew everything about the assignments and made communication between teacher and student easy.

Easy easy online class. Finish assignments on time and guaranteed A. The assignments are not even that hard. There is a whole week for you to complete the assignments. There are several attempts for quizzes.

Omg, Rothaupt is hands down the best and easiest (not a bad thing at all) professor I have had during my semesters in SMC. The CIS1 class is SO easy, the material presented is super easy to understand and Rothaupt is not a though grader at all. I ENJOYED doing all the homework. Its an easy A for anyone, no matter what major or reason you enrolled.

Great teacher, really helped me out when I didn't understand assignments and made instructions clear. Highly recommend!

She's nice and caring. The class was pretty easy to pass and you learn.

I have taken 2 classes with Professor Rothaupt . CIS 1 Online, CIS 70. CIS 1 was a online course. Very well thought out! Easy to follow. CIS 70 started as on campus but moved to on line. She was quick to have everything ready for us to complete the class online. I would highly recommend her.

The teacher is extremely interactive with her students. she accommodates, the course is so cost effective and intuitive, that a novice can navigate the class with effort of course. The teacher provides awesome resources that can be utilized outside of the class, it can benefit the student in the future. The Professor wants success for a the class.

Professor Rothaupt is an incredibly understanding teacher and cares about student's comprehension. She's extremely patient and has no problem helping any student and never makes people feel less than for not catching on right away. She makes the class fun and is naturally encouraging. I've taken her twice and loved every bit.

Social Media Apps: Professor Rothaupt is amazing and adapted well in response to pandemic w/ online zooms+assignment vids. She really went above and beyond... (called to make sure I was ok after I fell off the map lol)... SMART teacher++useful classshe gives you basics to get your curiosity going, and then resources to get you further if you want

The section I took started a few weeks before COVID-19. There was a lot to get accustomed to, despite the class already being online. Professor Rothaupt is excellent about sending updates and posting positive messages to the class. She clearly outlines her assignments and expectations and cares about her students.

Prof. Rothaupt is an excellent teacher. Instructions were very clear and if you don't get an "A" in her class then it's time for some self reflection. The textbook chosen for this course, "Investigating Technology" was also very relevant and practical. Thumbs up to Prof. Rothaupt!

Professor Rothaupt is a caring professor, however, this class is not for people who want to be mentally challenged. 2 weeks before semester end she said we earned our grades and we could only go higher from that point, she then gave everyone 10% points extra credit. The average grades for assignments were in the high 90s too. Minimum effort class.

As a teacher you gave me tools i need to face my future. Now i know that i can truly be anything i was as i have the power of knowledge you provided me with! Brenda Rothaupt, I will always be thankful for having you as my mentor!

she is the best.. grades by the many easy stuff. Professor Rothaupt is so much caring and wants you to be successful. You'll be more than fine especially if you taking her online!

I love this Teacher. I took two business classes with her and I couldn't be more happier. Because of her I will finally get to start my own YouTube channel complete with social media accounts and everything. I am so glad I took this class.

Brenda is the BEST, 100% recommended! I was super busy for one homework package was due tomorrow! I emailed her she moved it to next week with full credit! she REALLY care about students not just PRETENDING like others!

Professor Rothaupt is great. She is caring and very helpful. This is a new course that I would recommend everyone to take. You learn so much and there is no textbook required!

Great and caring professor. She is def. for the students and wants to see you achieve. With COVID at home studies I've been amazed to see many professors actually attempt to make the work harder! Not Professor Rothaupt!!! She is great with communication, outlining assignments, and explaining the steps.

Honestly this class was a blast! I had some personal issues to deal with during the semester which brought down my grade, but I honestly cannot complain. It's a simple yet intriguing class! Absolutely recommend!

She is so clear and fair.

Absolutely Recommend CIS 70 to anyone who is interested study the digital marketing class with Professor Rothaupt. The modules are well-organized, and you wont get lost if you follow her instructions. Youll learn essential digital marketing tools such as Adobe Spark, Canva, Podcast, blog, and more! And YES, Happy study in this Class.

Took this class, and it was an easy pass PLEAAAASE TAKE THIS CLASS. SUUUUPER EASSSY

Great professor! She's endearing and genuinely gives help if needed. I emailed her in regards to some issues and she emailed me back in an hour. Very clear on expectations and has an interesting approach to her class. Would recommend!

Great Professor! I took her BUS 35 (CRM) class. Strictly follow her clear instructions and submit everything on time. Quite easy A, simple final paper. Interesting class overall.

This is a great class for anyone interested in, or getting into, digital marketing and the apps that make it happen. You explore, create accounts, and then create and manage content in most of the current digital marketing platforms. It's very informative, no textbook required, and, as long as you're engaged and do the work, you'll get an A!

I've taken three courses with Professor Rothaupt and genuinely enjoyed them all. She is always available to help and really wants the best for her students. She also gave me great career advice. CIS70 is also a great course to take. All homework is hands-on projects that really help you understand digital marketing. Highly recommend this class!

All the directions are clear not confusing all you need to do is your part and follow directions. She responds quickly to question or problem.

I have had the pleasure of taking multiple courses with Professor Rothaupt. She is a great instructor. Each course well informative, organized, and formatted. Most importantly, she's real, no ego, and down to Earth. No silly rules or ten-page syllabus of BS. I highly recommend taking a course, even if not related to your major. Good Vibes!

This class was so easy I recommend if u want to pass with an easy A all u have to do is read and answer some questions for homework. It was all online so u could get ahead with future homework to complete.

Good instructor.

You guys should really take her BUS34A class. She is very caring for her students and book is provided for free. There is one quiz per week, but is super easy and some short discussions as well. Class is very interesting and work is NOT heavy at all. You'll feel like you're not studying. Definitely take her class!!!

This is a very valuable class. I enjoyed it very much. She is friendly and helpful. Very positive educator who delivers a winning positive experience. This is very up-to-date modern education for those to need to enhance their business and marketing skills. Highly recommend. Good feedback. Accessible. Do the work timely with interest and win!

BUS34A with Rothaupt was fantastic! Everything I learned is applicable, current and fascinating as someone who has already spent 4 years in the Marketing field. I would highly recommend this course - but be aware that it's a lot of reading, and case studies. However, all very useful and thought worthy if you're serious about digital marketing.

She is an excellent professor, I'm pretty sure her in-person-classes are more fun! There was a little bit of reading in this online class, but I definitely would take it again. I recommend this class to anyone that has an irregular schedule like my self. Take this class and do all your work, you won't regret it.

Prof Rothaupt has been one of the best professors I've had in the past three years. I have had her for two classes and have learned more practical applications in marketing than any other class I've had. She makes the material interesting, relevant and even fun! She is also very caring and provides thoughtful and helpful feedback.

10/10 would take this professor again. I took Bus.34A online. It was easy and as long as you turn in your work on time.

Awesome all around.... of course now that you know this you will take her classes and there might not be space for me lol

Great professor with clear criteria. I recommend if you want a professor that genuinley cares.

she is great

Took the Digital Marketing Applications online course with her and it was amazing! I am considered an influencer and I still learned so much in her class. She has a great energy and really breaks down the lectures that makes it easy to understand for people who've never used the application before to experts. Great professor!

I've previously taken her BUS 34A course, and just now completed BUS34B- Digital Marketing Applications. I was thoroughly engaged from module to module; so much in the subject I wasn't aware of! Professor Rothaupt provides clear instructions, ample supplemental links, and is incredibly inspiring.

Time management is key in the online class! As long as you keep track of your assignments, it's not difficult. Grading calculations are also easy to understand. I highly recommend, especially if you're thinking about getting into social media as a potential side hustle/job.

She's amazing! If you're doing your part, she definitely does hers.

I enjoyed her class and learned a lot. As long as you read the textbook and keep up with deadlines you will do great. Took a 8 week class and was able to get an A but some weeks we had 3 chapters to read so if you're taking a lot of other classes keep that in mind. Other than that super clear grader.

Brenda is a great teacher. I will definitely take her other classes.

A very interesting and enthusiastic professor, I will continue to follow her courses in the future.

You would have to read A LOT and manage your time well, to do all the case studies and quizzes on time. No late submissions at all. I loved the pace and self study!

Literally such an easy A. Just do the reading and answer the questions, you'll be fine. Deadlines are a week apart so that should be enough time to do your work. I really enjoyed this class because of how clear and simple it was. Oh and the textbook was free!

I never rate professors but she was absolutely amazing. Every week looks the same all you have to do is read the chapters and take the quizzes. Some weeks there's case studies to do but they're very easy as long as you read the chapters. READ THE CHAPTERS and you'll get an easy A.

I enjoyed her class. As long as you read the textbook and keep up with deadlines you will do well. Took the 8 week BUS 34A class, beware that it's a lot of reading, and case studies are worth more than the quizzes. She is definitely on top of her game and response quickly to her emails.

Really great professor overall. Definitely recommend to anyone she's very helpful and gives you all of the Information to succeed.

This is my 3rd class with professor Rothaupt, she has a very objective based, yet highly adaptable approach to teaching, which has been extremely effective for me while taking online classes. I have found this class very useful with respect to building a good vocabulary and understanding on regards to Marketing.

She is great, ask her any question that you have about the course she would help you. She motivated you to keep learning and doing your assignments.

The instructor is fair and supportive with firm deadlines. Enjoyed taking her class. The class structure works well for my busy life.

Amazing!

Professor Rothaupt provided interesting assignments and is clear and fair when it comes to grading and turning assignments in on time. I would recommend this course for anyone interested in pursuing a social media manager position or growing their own business or profiles online.

So kind, actually an interesting class

Very understanding and encouraging. I am a student with a disability and she accommodated me and was understanding of my predicament. Really enthusiastic about her class and students

I took this course in the summer! It was not too bad, the content was nice and easy to learn and I definitely wasn't stressed or worried! You get 3 attempts for quiz's and no midterm or final! Prof gives great feedback, super nice, and helpful. I would recommend it!

Professor Rothaupt is a highly respected instructor who provides excellent feedback on student work. Her inspiring comments on my submissions were especially valuable and helped me improve. The course has a good amount supplementary reading material. Overall, a great course to start out in digital marketing and social media.

Great, caring Professor that has good delivery in lectures, and cares about her students. I really enjoyed Professor R's course.

She helped me understand what was needed to achieve an A after the first Case study where i didn't do well.

Professor is enthusiastic and accommodating. Assignments are interesting, and grading is fair. Highly recommend for anyone interested in social media or growing their online presence. Unstuckstudy was a big help for study prep.

She is a professor with a soul and knows her subject very well,guides u through the entire learning process until the end of the class.Always supportive,caring,inspiring,lifting you up,& always there for u. She is a treasure.Make sure u do ur job and put ur efforts in return. U will successfully reach the end, & she'll meet u there & cheer for u.

Amazing!Very caring & helpful,always on your side-just communicate & ask her.Always tries her best to provide u any access at no cost,she would rather find free info or show u a way how u can avoid paying than make u pay for any book or subscription.U must to do only one thing-work & put in 100%effort, & u will get the pure knowledge & grade "A'.

I took this class online and it was easy. The discussion posts and case studies are actually interesting which makes you engaged in the topic.

Great professor for business 35. I needed an extra class to be full time and very happy I added this. I got an A without too much pressure at all. Very straight forward grading criteria. Anything under a A you earn that by being lazy or irresponsible. But an A is VERY easy to achieve.

I recommend Professor Brenda Rothaupt at 100%!

Third class with professor Rothaupt. She is such a positive energy with a very encouraging attitude and an easy grader. just do the assignments and there is no way to fail. She is wonderful!

Great professor. Videos and instructions are clear. She wants you to succeed. A lot of material to read but if you stay organized it's manageable. Really enjoyed this class. Highly recommend.

I love Ms. Rothaupt! She's so cool and friendly. Her classes are online and at your own pace. She def opened my eyes to new ways of using digital platforms. Love her down!

She is very clear in her instructions and expectations. This was a very fun class!
