This class is not too bad until you get to the final. Her final will make you want to pull your hair out! However, she does give a lot of extra credit and homework points. Be prepared to study.

Shes nice, but her class is very very difficult.

Lots of extra credit,can copy from your friends* just do your work, and interact with her and you'll get a B or C. Dont waste time studying for the final,its immpossible.Very possible to get A on 3 test .had 68% and low on final,still got C.

Very tough and challenging class, studied my butt off and managed C and B's on exams. Extra credit given every week and if you do all of the extra credit correctly it can actually pull your grade up by 8 - 10%.

she is a very good professor. the class is hard but you get extra credit. the tests arent bad if youre prepared.

Great teacher. This class is NOT that hard, especially in today's world where we constantly use Excel. As long as you pay attention in class and don't fall behind, you can pull off an A or B for sure. Book is step-by-step, and very helpful.

Great professor! Uses real life examples for lectures. A kind and understanding person -- spend lots of time creating marketing plans for each student's future plans. Helpful; inform students about job openings, opportunities.

First two exams were easy. The third-definately need to study..final was rediculous. She is a very nice proffessor

She is very nice professor. The exams will be harder and harder. But don't worry, if you practice at least couple times before taking the tests, and you really understand the lecture, you will get a good grade for the class. By the way, she also offer extra credits and curve the average of the class. Good luck!

She is really nice and willing to help you.

Professor Atwong is a very sweet lady. She is also extremely understanding, and willing to work with students who ask for help. The course however is not easy, you have to practice the homework and material on a regular basis in order to do well on the exam. Its currently the ninth week of the semester and I rec. a C on the first exam and a B on the second exam. I would recommend Professor Atwong to any marketing Major. I'm on pace for a B in the class.

DO ALL THE ASSIGNED HOMEWORK AND ITEMS ON THE EXAM SHEET MANY MANY MANY TIMES AND YOU WILL GET AN A IN THE COURSE.

She's really nice and helpful. However, class is rather boring and there's lots of work. She's a difficult grader too. The other reviews are right, the final is impossible. I got a C in the class and i was on the Dean's List. Find an easier professor to take.

The most helpful professor I've encountered in all my years at CSUF. The class is boring and unevenly paced...it's like driving in a car and the driver stepping on the gas, then the brake, then the gas, etc. The tests were harder than the final...these reviews scared me so I guess I tried harder...Lots of extra credit and generous curve!

Very nice, helpful lady. Somewhat difficult tests however, where there are seemingly two possible answers for many questions. Reading the book is the best way to study for her tests because they are pretty broad. Also she grades kinda tough on written papers as well.

Prof. Atwong is a very UNDERSTANDING & amazing professor. It's a tough class, but she will go out of her way to HELP students. Study hard, practice, practice & practice and don't put it 'till the last minute. Her class is one of the most helpful and influential course in marketing. She gives lots of extra credit & very lenient with tests. Great Pro

Great Prof! Really Helpful and nice. Offers tons of Xtra Credit. Do all of it and you may pass? The 3 exams are really tough. The final is just WRONG! There is no need for it to be that hard. I studied hours for it & still failed. Had A- going inot it otherwise id be taking it again. Good luck and work you A$# off and you may pass.

Lots of homework which are Excel spreadsheets, 2 group assignments, and an essay take-home final. Not bad since she allows you to work with classmates if needed. Should definitly take her for 489.

Atwong was pretty cool. Her accent makes me laugh. How well you do in the class will depend on how much work you put into the homework. She gives a TON of extra credit so do it! I got Cs on all my exams but I passed the class with a B b/c I did all the homework and extra credit. She wants her students to succeed.

GO TO CLASS!!! Its so easy to understand the material if you go to class. Exams are short but closed book/closed note. Grades VERY hard on exams you have to prove all answers w/ excel! LOTS of hw and TONS of EC to help your grade. LOVE LOVE LOVE this teacher, taking her again next semester.

GREAT TEACHER! I highly recommend her. She requires a little bit of homework and offers a LOT of extra credit (can boost up an entire grade!) I got a C but if I tried harder I'm sure I could've gotten an A. She's a very sweet lady and the class was a great learning experience. She is one of the best professors I've had at CSUF. Book < $30!

THE MOST COMPASSIONATE TEACHER ON CAMPUS! Atwong really cares about her students and is ALWAYS there when you need her help. She offers tons of extra credit like others have said. Also, test are a TRICKY, not so difficult. Study, do the homework,go to class & reward yourself an A. I half-assed it and therefore I got a C.

Great professor highly recommend for capstone. At first i was kind of speculative about the work load and grading, but it is a capstone could you expect anything less. Overall the class taught me a lot and it was enjoyable. She has a very funny humor which made me laugh a lot.

SO EASY. If u cant pass her class then u should probably not be in college! She gives TONS of extra credit so there is really no way u can fail unless u just never go to class or do any work! Atwong is WAY BETTER than other 353 teacher from what I was told by my friend who took the other guy!

The xtra credit consists of going to guest lectures, do them, they're easy and give +5% of test grades. First two tests were easy, i just took the final and had my but whooped and its 35% of grade. Some classes are boring, but if you don't take notes, you'll be pissed you didn't take notes a week b4 the test. Make sure u have a good 'study buddy'

If you are a REAL marketing major, take Atwong. She is the best professor! She shows you tools that you will need and has all of the information on digital files so you can store them for future work in your career. It was hard to pass her class but it was worth the information I learned. Google analytics to MRI plus. NO LAZINESS ALLOWED!

You will learn a lot in this class and have the chance to make some good portfolio material. Make sure to find a good group it will save you and do the extra credit. Study for the exams but they are tricky. Give me a lot of real world knowledge to land me an internship! Overall she is a good professor because she teaches what you need to know.

Professor Atwong is THE professor to take for MKTG 353. She knows the subject and knows hot to teach it so students at all levels understand the material. She will work with you until you get it. She is accessible and competent. This is material you need to know to succeed as marketing manager. Take Atwong and you will learn what you need to know.

This class is intense. You have social media assignments (10 of them) which are easy points if you do them. 1st test was a bit challenging. 2nd test was easier. Studied HOURS for the final and it was still HARD. Group project is ALOT of work. Make sure to pick a good group. Take every chance to do extra credit!

Atwong is the best teachers that I've encountered at CSUF. If you want to learn something & show off during an interview, take her! The course load is intense & is time consuming, but what you get out of it is incredible. Her English is rough, but her written instructions are outstanding. I am a C student. I worked hard and ended up with an A-.

She is a very nice professor and truly wants her students to pass. She does offer extra credit after the first exam. Just practice the in class assignments (A LOT!!) and you will do well on the exams.

She is super nice and her assignments are really fun. Group project is really time consuming but that difficult. We got to use a lot of different tools that real world business people use. Ask questions if you are even slightly confused. It will make a huge difference for the exams. Buy her textbook, it will really help.

Mrs. Atwong is one of the best marketing professors at CSUF. Her social media projects will teach you a lot. The final is unfair. You will go in with an A and leave the class with a C. Great class, I learned a lot, however the final killed almost everyone

A big group project, so find a good group. (my group got a 90%) 2 midterms; I got a B and an A. 1 grade-killing final. had an A- before final, failed the final after studying many, many hours, ended up with a C. She says to study the practice examples, but then changes everything on the test so you're screwed. I'm warning you now.

The class is tough, but it's so worth it. Atwong genuinely cares about her students and does everything to help you succeed. Pay attention when she goes over the excel work, and practice! All the skills learned in this class are valuable in future marketing classes and in the real world. Thank you professor Atwong.

Dr. Atwong is a super nice teacher. That being said, 353 is not an easy A. Do your best to get into a solid AdWords group. Tests and the final were hard! I do not recommend the online course if you are not good at excel. Tests were focused on performing various excel functions/formulas and analyzing the data.

She is such a great professor and nice person! My favorite in the marketing deparment. She wants you to succeed. If you aren't ready on exam day, she allows you to reschedule. She also offers extra credit opportunities. I found the class to be easy. Just watch the videos and practice the examples a few times and you should be okay.

Dr. Atwong is awesome! This class is definitely challenging but it'll be worth your time. She genuinely cares about her students. The midterms are easy AS LONG AS you come to class, pay attention to her lectures, and take notes. She also posts recap videos which are SUPER helpful. There is also a group project (choose good people to work with)

I don't understand what the fuss is about.. Maybe she redid how she teaches the class because it is by far one of the easiest - well drawn out online classes I've taken. She makes herself available to you 24/7. If you're struggling, it's honestly because you're not asking questions. Assignments are easy. Effortless B. If you want an A, give effort.

This was the best class of the semester. I greatly enjoyed collaborating with the individuals in this class. I really liked the professor's teaching style. She took the time to get to know each student individually, and I really appreciate her passion and commitment.

Amazing professor. Super easy if you study for the exams and extremely helpful

Really enjoyed this class, learned a lot and she is always available. Her test are somewhat difficult but not if you take the time to learn the material. You earn your grade, don't know how easy some of these reviews want the class to be. She is a great teacher and even if you sit down to take the test, think you you'll fail you can reschedule.

I took her online class and it was a very clear organized class. You have a few assignment to do that are easy, a group project which is also easy and then you have the exams. The first two are not difficult but the final is, with whoever you take it with. But she is a great professor whos willing to help you pass and succeed. Take it with her.

By far one of my favorite classes of the semester! It's a hard class, but this is college people! God forbid you have to actually do the work and study to get a good grade. This class is time consuming, but she is very accommodating and will help you any way she can. I loved loved loved this class! She really prepares you for the real world. TAKE

She is one of the best professors at the university. She' very cheerful. Gives assignments and homework that will help you in your professional life. You will never regret taking her class. Assignments: Easy. Even when you complete the course, she will send useful emails like job opportunities. Hands down the best professor for marketing.

I had to drop her class at the beginning of quarantine for medical reasons. When I enrolled the next semester, she remembered me and checked in to make sure I was doing OK. Super nice and cares about the students. My class was asynchronous, but she made very detailed videos outlining exactly what to expect on tests. Also no textbook! 10/10

DO NOT BELIEVE THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS PLEASE She is a very understanding professor and only wants students to succeed. You have to study and practice ALOT, even if it is the day before, without practice, you will fail. Be prompt with your assignments and you will pass. She will even move tests to different dates if you are not ready or anything else.

She gives ALOT of extra credit, people went from a 65% exam grade to a 75% and after every test she will tell you what your grade in the class is.

Super sweet and kind professor you can tell genuinely cares about her students. My one gripe with this course is that the tests do not align with the course material, nearly everyone failed her tests, but she gives out a ton of extra credit opportunities to help cushion your grade. Do all your assignments and put in the work and you'll pass.

Love this Professor! I can genuinely say this class is super fulfilling and worth taking with her. She requires LinkedIn Learning trainings that are useful for Marketing majors and gives great feedback! Super chill and willing to answer questions. Grades are based on trainings, 1 group project, and 3 exams. Also, attendance is required.

Professor Atwong is extremely caring for her students. She has a great sense of humor and you can tell that she truly cares for each individual one of her students. She has a great attitude and makes class fun. She is a great professor.
