Her class is good, the tests are straight forward, the project is really good for those who wants to try making a business. Attendance is really important. She's really helpful if you need help
She is very helpful and easy in making us understand about how the business runs and various aspects of it with good projects
I really enjoyed this class. From the beginning, the professors lets the class know that she isnt trying to make the class hard, but just wants to broaden your knowledge about the course and aspects of business. Make sure you take the weekly quizzes because those are very helpful in getting you to pass. Professor helpful & material straight forward
Dr. Garbe made the subject very easy to understand and at the same time made the subject more interesting as well. With her quizzes she made sure we all understand the concepts. She is dedicated and knowledgeable and made the classes worth attending to!
Professor Garbe has a lot of useful experience about business. Her class is fun and the quizzes and exams are exactly what are covered in class, so just attend the lecture, do the quiz and make sure you read it again before the exams and you're good. Assigned projects are also very helpful. Emily is a responsible, helpful and kind teacher.
Very fun and educational class. Very passionate about what she teaches and prioritizes educational means over academic. Quizzes are simple and to the point, projects are interactive and informative. Highly recommended if you're majoring in business or planning to go into this field. Book is required, but optional to read. All notes given in class.
Definitely top 5 for Prof. I've had at De Anza. She has a ton of real world experience and will share a lot of it during the lectures. She makes sure you understand the materiel and loves to reward you for hard work. If you keep up with the reading, listen in class, and take advantage of the weekly quizzes, you'll do well!
Professor Garbe had great lectures filled with tons of real life experiences that people could relate to. She was very helpful with exams and papers and clear with her expectations. Overall, a great class, and highly recommended.
This teacher is well organized, really wants her students to do well and is passionate about the subject. Her wealth of knowledge and experience is impressive. You'll learn relevant business fundamentals in today's world. Everyone should take this class! Highly recommended!
Professor Garbe is a great resource if you want to do well in the class. She is willing to help you with projects and paper.
I'm a returning student from awhile back, she was the perfect instructor. Her teaching made me feel comfortable and so focused that it was so interesting each & everyday. I thank her for that and just love the way she motivates me.
I took Prof Garbe for my intro to Business. I enjoyed her teaching style. She is very knowledgeable about Business. Easy to talk to and approach. It was a Fun Class and I enjoyed her so much decided to take her again for another business class Marketing on line.
I learned more in her class than with other business teachers. I believe this is because she has had hands on experience in the business world. She was clear in her teaching and fair in her grading. I highly recommend anyone going into the business world to take her class.
I learned more in her class then in other business classes I have taken. I encourage anyone who is going into business to take her class, she has first hand information on how corporations work, and it shows through in her teaching. I highly recommend her. Her teaching is great and her grading is fair. I wish she taught more business classes.
I found this class highly informative and crucial to my future in business and marketing. Professor Garbe has a wealth of first-hand business knowledge, especially in Finance. The class covers A LOT and she flies through the material. I recommend asking questions and engaging in conversations to get the most out of the class. Thank you Professor!
Professor Garbe is an excellent instructor with tremendous experience in the business field to complement her teaching credentials. Aside from being an instructor she is still quite active in the area. Although intense, her course work is designed to stimulate real world experience. I highly recommend her course for business majors.
She is a really amazing professor. You WILL get an A if you do your homework or at least review the homework answers before the exams. Her essays were not hard, follow her grading rubics and your grade will be high. DEFINITLY RECOMMEND!
good pro! i took her class in my first quarter when i was an esl student. she is kind and always explain vocs for us. the assignments r important, do it n the exam will be super easy. even for me! an esl student! she's kinda forgetful but still a really nice teacher. you wont regret.
Easy teacher and grader. Class can be boring. Attendance is mandatory but you can just check it off next day if you absented.. Give extra credit up to 10% of your total grade.3 exams , 1 final, and one project. If you're looking for an easy A, then this class is the right one. you also learned a lot about business, she know what she's talking about
I really loved her class! Lectures get boring but she tells us a lot about her own experiences in the business world. Assignments are from the book and tests are super easy. She's really helpful and I'm so glad I took her class :)
Professor Garbe has been very accommodating. I am a distance learning student from Fresno, CA. The level of learning from the class is top notch. I really enjoyed her style, and consistency about work and tests due. Most importantly she is teaching content highly relevant in the workplace--work I am currently involved in so it was very cool.
Garbe is an amazing teacher. I took her online class and sure there is a lot of work but it is totally worth it. I learned so much and the work isn't that hard. Would love to take another class of hers. Weekly readings, assignments and quizzes. You get the hang of it. Totally recommend her. Got an A+
this teacher is very easy.. just by studying the homework you could get an A in the test. She would also give a project of a business report in which she will mark it very leniently that as long as the criteria she asked is fulfilled she would give a good score. Should definitely take her as a business teacher in buss 10
Best teacher at De Anza!! Got an A+ in her class. She's very lenient in giving grades and super helpful. She's very kind and also an easy going person. As long as you do the homework by yourself, you will ace the tests and final. The research paper was time consuming, so give some time to do it and do not procrastinate! :D
Love her class! Weekly assignment and quizzes, pretty straight forward if you do the assignments and readings. You'll also do a marketing plan which is also straight forward. If you really want to learn about marketing take her class. She is great at communicating with her students.. LOVE THIS CLASS!!
I took her Introduction to Marketing class. Straightforward & fair. There are no surprises in her class. I gave her a 3 for helpfulness since there were times when she didn't respond to my emails. The assignments were not clear to me either. Sometimes the instructions had no page numbers. I figured it out eventually though.
Her class is very straight forward. 3 tests, 6 assignments, final, and research paper. Make sure you do the assignments. Follow the rubric for the research paper and its easy points. Besides from the fact that the class is not difficult, she really teaches business well and you learn a lot. I took her summer course. I highly recommend.
Mrs Garbe is excellence, I really admired her. let take her class, don't hesitate.
Great teacher who knew a lot about her subject. Her lectures weren't as boring as others that I've been in.
Really nice teacher, you could easily talk to her about your grade if your satisfied
Emily is a very nice professor and person. In her class you always discover and gain so many useful knowledge. And it is very easy to get an A. You just need to do at home 6 open book assignments, 3 test in class (questions from assignments), and project. Even though project is time consuming, you will learn a lot! Just take her class!
She is such an amazing teacher with a huge portfolio in the field of business.So she definitely knows what she is talking about. She is kind of intimidating at first, but her course work is fairly easy because its all tests and one final project. I took her course during the summer and it was pretty easy for me so a normal quarter should be easier
Great teacher! Very helpful, tests are easy as long as you pay attention in class. Overall interesting and great class
She's one of my favorite teacher. Her teacher is understandable and I learnt a lot from her class. The quizes was from the online assignments so make sure you know it really well
I took this class In my first quarter. She made me decide to major business. The class is Well organized. I highly recommend this class.
Overall, her class is best for understanding business. Class is not hard, but requires some of activities,like assignments and research paper, but it would be fine if u follow the class. She explains in easy ways. Also, she will help u thorough reviews. Just keep going, then you will get good grade.
She is a great professor. Her class is not hard, it is almost impossible to get lower than a B. She wants her students to get an A, and she will advise you about business if you ask her. It is mostly slides and definitions and terms used in the business world. Really recommend her!
I enjoy both classes I took with her. Not really hard, just need some math skills and memory. She gives plenty of chance to earn extra point. Easy A- Go for it.
She's awesome. You can both learn and get a good grade. Passion in what she does and very helpful. Go for it!
By far the best teacher I have ever had at De Anza. Very easy class. Mrs. Garbe is extremely helpful as well as over-qualified. She has plenty of experience and knows what she is talking about. Take her class, you will not regret it.
Prof has a lot of experience in the business field. Ask her to share some knowledge with you! Her classes consist of lectures and some class activities. She talks fast but pay attention and ask her to clarify. She posts all her notes online which is helpful. Do the homework and review, youll pass the quizzes. Many extra credit opportunities!
i highly recommend you to take this class if you major in business and want to hear some real stories in the bus. fields. prof Garbe is an amazing instructor that she will use her own experience to teach the students in the class, which's really interesting and attractive to pay at attention. 3 exams 1 final & 1 paper are easy as long as you study
Midterms and final are quite easy and straightforward. Lectures can be boring sometimes. Not much extra credits. Research paper and presentation requires too much time. But she is a great teacher and it is an easy class.
Professor Garbe is simply really cool. she's funny sometimes and will always help you regarding whatever questions you may have. For Midterms and finals read the book. Review the online hw as well because some hw questions appear on the test. Research project is very easy. She will guide you through it. All you have to do is write it.
The class is very easy, and it is surely possible to get A+ if you spend some time studying the materials and make sure to understand. Plus do homework because the exams are very similar.
Great teacher! Use special book you can buy only from publisher but is great book and use 100%! We had open book quiz every week and you can try 2 time same quiz. Final is open book and is not timed. I had some problems and teacher response by email was so quick. I loved her class!
Dr. Garbe is the best prof. In de anza. I mean she is so helpful and has wealth of knowledge of industry. Extra credits and fair grader. She is also funny. Very awesome teacher and person.
Professor Garbe is a really knowledgeable person, and she explains the material in a very clear manner. She will emphasize what parts are especially important so take some notes! Even besides business itself, she shares her valuable experience and job opportunities and can give a great piece of advice. I took BUS 10 during winter and enjoyed it.
Professor Garbe is a really knowledgeable person, and she explains the material in a very clear manner. She will emphasize what parts are especially important so take some notes! Even besides business itself, she shares her valuable experience and job opportunities and can give a great piece of advice. I am glad I took this class! Highly recommend!
She is awesome. She is really understanding and helpful. She is a very fair grader. If you do the work you will for sure pass and even get a good grade.
She is an amazing teacher! Very knowledgeable about business and gives a lot of real life examples. She is also a great person to bounce ideas off of in regards to picking schools/jobs. Just make sure you do the weekly quizzes but I would highly recommend her to everyone!
I have taken Bus54 & Bus90 - Bus54 my first year back to school after 20 years & Prof. Garbe was so patient and helpful to me she made the experience great. I decided to take Bus 90 online. Once again, it was a very pleasant experience and if I hadn't already taken Bus 10, I would take another class from her.
A really good teacher for BUS10. I wish she was teaching BUS18. She gives 2 midterms and 1 final. She also gives extra credit. She is really engaging and an awesome teacher. Highly recommended.
She is amazing. She has a lot of business experience. She is very engaging and good at keeping everything interested. Lots of extra credit opportunities and easy quizzes online. Just skim the book and do the multiple choice. I enjoyed the class and I believe so will you.
Professor Emily is a terrific professor. She is a professional business woman. She has a lot of experience and is very knowledgable. She is generous when grading, and is fair and just to everyone. She keeps you interested and motivated, and is very helpful and cooperative. She makes sure instructions are clear. I enjoyed every minute in her class.
Highly recommand
Professor Garbe is one of the best professors I have ever had. In the summer Marketing Principles class, we had two quizzes and case studies every week. The quizzes are straight forward and many of the questions are straight from the notes that she provides. She constantly provided updates on the course and promptly addressed any concerns she had.
Great Class and an excellent teacher. This is a very good class, you will have a lot of homework but, Miss. Garbe is really good about responding to any questions or concerns you might have. I recommend this class.
(Hybrid class) Brilliant professor w a lot of business experience. If you are a native english speaker, this should be an easy A. Everything is very clear, bc of the ESL students. She takes attendance at the middleend of class. If you have the textbook, review that before quizzes. Class format is lectureppt to video. 1 group pres. There's candy.
This class is amazing class! I appreciate her giving as students her very best, answering so fast to all are question and always motivating us to do are very best. She wants you to succeed giving us many opportunity for extra credit. Professor Emily is an excellent and inspiring professor. I am looking for to take more classes with her !
Mrs. Garbe is a professional. She loves business, and enjoys teaching the class about it. She is very experienced, knowledgable, and helpful. She wants her students to succeed. You definitely need to put lots of time and effort into studying as this is not an easy class. Be prepared for weekly quizzes, a project, and final.
Very clear material & straightforward grading rules are given. There are 2 midterms, 1 final, and a couple of quizzes due on Catalyst each week that make up most of the points. Professor Garbe often shares interesting stories from her own business experience which makes the concepts easier to understand. Lots of EC points you can earn too!
Emily Garbe is an awesome professor as well as a respectable business woman. Her class is super interesting, and she uses personal examples to clarify the harder topics. She is very clear on what's expected and helpful. Class is very organized and if you do all of your assignments, including the tasks for the research project this is an easy A.
Professor Garbe is amazing! She is very clear and does give lot of extra credits. She has incredible insight into the business world and has a lot of knowledge to share. She uses relevant examples and has interesting stories to share. Not only is it fairly easy to get an A(Do all online tests and the extra credits) you actually learn a lot!
She is a business goddess. If you truly want to learn about the basics of business then take this teacher. The lectures may feel long BUT there is much material to be covered. Don't think of her as some "teacher" as she also teaches through her experience in business. She sticks to her rules so students are all treated equally. Would take again!!!!
Very amazing professor. I took her class in spring 2015 and got an A+ . She worked in a lot of places before so she can relate a lot of real life examples to her lecture. Her lecture is very interesting and not difficult to comprehend. Do homework very week and study for the tests, then you're ready to get an A. Strongly recommend!
Make sure you read the book, it will make class a lot easier. She gives opportunity for extra credit and class discussion. The quizzes can be tough, if you read the chapters it helps a lot.
Emily Garbe is the best business teacher at De Anza. She has strengthened my confidence in committing to the Business major. She is extremely inspirational and is as qualified as any professor at any Ivy League. Your a lucky person if you get to take her.
Taking Intro to Business with Professor Garbe has been one of my best experiences at De Anza. She is very inspirational and always has impressive stories from her experience in the business world. The class is easy if you do the reading and quizzes, and the lectures are very enjoyable. Professor Garbe is very helpful, clear, and friendly.
Great class, lots of extra credit
I took this class because I was starting my required classes for my business major. I was brand new to business and she is very good at explaining things. She uses very good examples that relate to the subject she is teaching. She is extremely friendly, and gives SO MUCH EXTRA CREDIT. She is very generous in grading you (bumps from b+ to A-)
She is a fabulous professor. She gave a lot of real life example to demonstrate terms and she was really intelligent. Love her class and I wish there's more classes that she's teaching are transferable. Talk to her after classs. She gives a lot of valuable advices.
This professor is not very good. She is very hard to understand and does not teach much more then the book states. Read the book and you won't need to show up because there's nothing insightful about her lecture. I would not recommend.
She is nice and easy-going. Assigned a 5 page paper on enterprise. Most of exams questions are from hw. Take her.
If you are doing a business major you have to take her! This class wasn't necessary for me but i took it because of all the great things i heard about her. I have to say She is absolutely amazing. She goes beyond her job and teaches you about the real world from her experience. This class helped me more than any other class at De Anza. Not too hard
Prof. Garbe uses examples from her own life, which make the lectures very interesting. Print the slides to take notes on, fill out the study guides (they help w/quizzes), & print the quizzes afterwards (midterms and final heavily based on them). Easy if you put in the work/time. If she says it will be on the test, high-lite it! Great class!
Mrs. Garbe is a fantastic instructor. I had her online class and whenever I had a question she would respond to me promptly. Take her!!!
Studying "Promoting Your Business with Social Media", we use the e-book "Social Media Marketing. Principles and Strategies" that shares insights and state of the art technologies to use the social media as a cheaper, faster and efficient way to promote my business. Now I feel more comfortable to use new tools to increase downloads and purchases.
Prof Garbe is simply amazing! Her lectures incorporate real world examples, some from her own experiences. Weekly Quizzes, just pay attention in class and read the chapters in the book. Tests are average difficulty,she does a great job informing you what you should study. She offers some extra credit which helps! Use her study guides, very useful!
She's great! Not only did she allow me into the class when it was already full, but she designed a very good online marketing course. My favorite part was the project where we got to create our own marketing plan for Netflix. Friends from outside the class even thought I was working for Netflix! She was also great at communicating frequently!!
Garbe was a bit boring at times, but her class isn't too hard. Most the of the in class exam questions are the same questions from the homework quizzes. She puts all her lecture slides online and if you pay attention during lectures, there shouldn't be too much textbook reading to do.
I was so happy to take Mrs. Garbe class. She is always happy to support me or anyone that needs help. Her class was always interesting that I never wanted to miss for any reasons. I was very low in business stuff but I have improved much better thanks to her well-designed material and excellent teaching method.
Very simple and clear. I received a B in the class but I could have easily gotten an A had I not missed over 100 points on the online quizzes. The quizzes are not hard I just simply forgot to do them. The midterms were easy and the online quizzes have similar questions. She is not unfair and this class is fairly fun. Final is easy just study!
Lectures are heavy but easy to understand and they are provided online. Quizzes are online and due every week. Exams and quizzes have similar questions. Textbook is not used in class but material from the textbook will be on exams. Lots of extra credit opportunities. I would take this teacher again and I recommend her.
Professor Garbe's teaching style is very normal, read the ppt and let us watch the video. Her lecture may be a little bit boring, but she is very nice. Sometimes she talks about herself, she is really successful in her career. Overall, her tests are easy if you study the chapter quiz and focus on what she emphasizes before each exam.
One of the BEST professors at De Anza! Learnt a lot! very knowledgable and cares about students. Lots of extra credit.
She is an amazing professor who cares tremendously about her students. She is fair and very communicable. tons and tons of extra credit whereby your grade can go up a letter or two if you just do the easy work.
Professor Garbe is wonderful in every way possible! She is organized and responds very quick to emails. Promoting your business with social media has 2 online books that are essential for the class. Quiz every week on the chapters along with an occasional open forum. The fun part is the mimic social media simulation which lasts 5 weeks. Great class
Emily is amazing and highly recommend anyone to take her. There's weekly quizzes that are based off the lecture and textbook, so reading is a must. Overall the class isn't entirely easy, as long as you study and complete the quizzes you should do well. Also, quick tip, don't ask for extra credit, she already gives plenty of opportunities.
Her class has three test ,online quizzes and final , The final has more points than test . All quizzes and final have multiple choices question mostly based on slides if you want A in this class need to read book. I got A plus although i am an ESL student. she gives lots of extra credit like 30 points. I highly recommend her class.
Professor Garbe made learning about Marketing fun. She made me realize and understand why this major was the one for me. Put in the effort and your grade will fall into place. Shes very understanding and will work with you. There was confusuion about a couple assignments and she helped me. Shes great!
Professor Garbe's class was a good learning experience. If you invest time to study the coursework, you will get a good grade. She gives extra credit opportunities & is very helpful. Tests are not hard but you have to study. Professor gives good career advice about business world and also about business courses. Textbook required. Participate.
Professor Garbe was by far one of the best teachers i've had at DeAnza. She not only cares if you pass her class but she also cares about your overall education. This is a great intro to business class. You definitely need to put in the work if you want to pass the class but if you show up, it should be easy to follow along. Highly recommend her!
Professor Garbe is a great professor! Her tests are easy as long as you pay attention to what she says in class and she is extremely helpful during her office hours. She also gives extra credit! Take her, you will not regret it.
Emily Garbe is by far the best professor that I have known in the business and accounting department. The way she teaches is just like the Mello brothers (If you have taken accounting classes). She gives a lot of real world examples, and also gives a lot of insights on the workforce. I would highly recommend taking her intro to business class.
Emily is a great professor. I learned a lot in her class while enjoying due to her real world explanations. She is very positive and caring which shows when teaching the class. I would definitely recommend taking her for one class at de anza. She has 3 midterms and a final. Only material she covers will be on the exam.
Best teacher so far, good lecture slide. Easy course for me.
Great online class! Moderate amount of work nothing too crazy. Learned a lot about different aspects of social media and using it for your business. Would definitely recommend!
I enjoyed this class so much I took another one of her classes the following quarter. Her lectures are really good although sometimes she does repeat, her lectures are very easy to understand. She gives 3 pop quizzes, but they're low points so don't worry if you miss one. READ HER POWERPOINTS because they're WAY BETTER than the TEXTBOOK :)
This is by second consecutive class with her and she is so lovely. Her office is always open so you can just swing by to ask for help or clarification. No midterms, finals or tests. Only 2 mini projects: A presentation, a mini research paper. If you can get an A on the presentation you can literally not do the paper and still get an A.
She is amazing. She is really good at lecturing and her class is easy to pass if you study the lecture slides. One group project.
She's such an easy teacher but I really learned a lot from this class! There's so much more to social media. If you're thinking of building your own brand/business take this class! :) gives really good feedback!
Great professor and I learned a lot about marketing! However the website Flatworld is very hard to navigate and after paying for the online option they didn't give me the book. Tough to pass without the book.
Great professor and I learned a lot about marketing! However if I were completely honest the website Flatworld is very hard to navigate and after paying for the online option they didn't give me the book. Tough to pass without the book.
Terrible professor
Professor Emily is the best caring, super nice professor at De Anza. I have learned a lot, really enjoying the class and get inspiration in business Textbook: Easy to read, useful practical examples Lecture Slides: Summarize key points, easy. Quiz and exam: almost covered in Lecture Slides. Extra Credit: A lot of extra credit in class and exam.
I took her fast-paced online class (6 weeks). There were 4 papers (short & easy, read the book & follow her instructions). Quizzes & exams were multiple-choice questions. You can google some questions, but some are paraphrased by her. Tip: save answers of your quizzes, you will meet some again in exams.
This class and the professor helped me figure out what aspect of business I want to be in. The class is pretty straightforward and as long as you do the work, you will be fine. It is also lecture heavy so make sure you attend class.
As this was an online class it was all on Canvas. She has very detailed set of instructions for everything. Had to come up with my own product to market and wrote 3 major papers about it. The textbook on Flatworld however is hard to navigate so be prepared for that. Weekly discussions and quizzes just like other online classes. Easy A with work lol
Lots of reading in this class along with video lectures and slides. You don't have to watch the video lectures because all the same info is in the slides. You need to read text and slides to not miss anything. Her grading is very clear, do what she asks and you'll get 100%. Weekly Quizzes are timed, 15 questions but not too difficult.
Her class is NOT easy A anymore. DO NOT take if you're looking for an easy A business class.
Agreed, this class is not an easy A. Her quizzes require more than just showing up and passing. She also gave 3 pop quizzes in total. On the bright side, you can study the quiz answers after as she uses them in exams too. She does give extra credit but I wouldn't rely on it. Textbook is free as well. Good prof but not an easy A.
She is the best business professor! She really cares the students. She gives good feedback and amazing lectures. You can always trust her for the profession and kindness.
Professor Garbe's accelerated 6-week class is easy if you've already taken any other business-related classes. You cover a lot of material in a short amount of time. The answers to the quizzes are not easy to find online so read the chapters, you also need that information for the mini-papers. I was in 20 units and it was manageable.
Easily the best professor not only in business, but as a whole throughout my college career. Her lectures are super informative and she makes it clear that certain things will be on midterms and what to focus on. As long as you take notes and pay attention during the lectures, you'll do fine on the online quizzes and the midterms/finals!
I took Intro to Bus. as late start, and since it's already a challenging course, don't take it as late-start unless you are very organized and disciplined. Her late-start class was structured like this: reading 4-5 chapter per wk (free PDF textbook!), 4-5 quizzes per wk; 1 discussion forum, 2 mini-papers, 1 financial worksheet, 1 midterm, 1 final
I believe her goal is to have as many students pass as possible. She gives many opportunities for extra credit and emphasizes what's important for her quizzes and exams. She wants everyone to actually learn and memorize things which is especially important for an intro to business class. Pay attention to lessons and read, you'll easily pass.
Very entertaining lectures. Her lecture slides are 95% of the materials, and she tells you what's on the tests. Lots of extra credit opportunities. She does occasionally give pop quizzes. Her canvas quiz time is fairly short (15 questions in 20 mins), so be sure you know the material before taking it.
Miss Garbe is the best business professor that I have met. She is kind and ready to help the students. She really cares about students. The lectures are clear and useful. I will take her course again.
Miss Garbe is the best business professor that I have met. She is kind and ready to help the students. She really cares about students. The lectures are clear and useful.
There are 2 quizzes/week + a comprehensive Marketing paper that is written in parts throughout the class + midterm + final. Yes, the Proctorio app felt a little invasive but you are allowed to have paper notes for exams. Also, you can turn in late assignments for 25% deduction. Easy-ish A if you are willing to work for it and meet all deadlines.
Professor Garbe is a kind and caring instructor who ensures that students understand every lesson. The subject includes 2 fairly easy quizzes per week with a challenging midterm and final exam. As long as you read the book chapters and watched her lecture videos, you would love the class.
Dr. Garbe was an excellent professor. You can tell that she knows what she is teaching and presents in a way that is easily understandable and accessible to all. The course was very straightforward, tests and quizzes are times but open book, her notes and lecture videos are concise and hold valuable information. I will take a class with her again.
Took her intro to business class because the ratings were good. She definitely lived up to the good reviews.
I took Emily's 6 weeks accelerated online course in the Summer and it wasn't as bad as I thought especially when the class ran 2x the speed, so it's manageable. The textbook is free and you can use notes on the quizzes and the exam. If you're thinking of majoring in business this is definitely the class to begin with! You won't regret taking her.
First professor I have ever had and she is the best one. She always make sure everyone is on track and gives you heads up whenever there is a huge assignment due in the next few weeks. One of the best things about her is that she is always prompt with responding to emails and you can negotiate grades with her if you think it wasn't fair.
Love the way the class was set up! 2 quizzes per week with 1 midterm, 1 final, 3 mini papers and 1 financial worksheet for the quarter. Super manageable as quizzes are based of lectures and textbook. Read the textbook, print out lecture slides and listen to lectures and it's almost a guaranteed A. Turn in work early for EC. Awesome class!
Professor Garbe's course was straightforward and very manageable during the pandemic. Two quizzes/week, midterm, final, & 3 mini-written assignments. Her instructions will confuse you, she makes things seem harder than they really are. Assignments can mostly be done through her videos, but she does create questions that make sure you grasp/read.
She's an amazing teacher. You have about 1-2 chapter quizzes a week, and 1 assignment and her lecture videos are long but informational. We do use the textbook and some of the lectures do not have information from the textbook. She does curve the midterms and final. The quizzes and the midterm and very important.
Great teacher! I'm taking her again for marketing. Extra credit saved me so make sure to turn in your assignments earlier. There were two lectures and two quizzes a week. Sometimes there would be one lecture and quiz and a mini paper. The mini papers were super easy, straight forward, and were not graded harshly at all. I highly recommend it!
Super easy class and nice professor. There's a few written assignments and a mc chapter quiz every week. She gives a ton of ec for just turning in assignments early. Lectures are pretty short and just goes over slides so read the textbook. The exams are all multiple choice, but not open internet (only paper notes).
I took this class online during winter 2021 quarter and enjoyed it. the teacher answers all the questions very fast, helps you if you need help. there will be a lot of reading and assignments, so don't procrastinate. if you turn the papers in two days early, you get extra points. overall, I learned a lot and reccomend this class and professor
This is a great business class for the program! Assignments and readings were very interesting and provided a wealth of information. You'll set up a business plan throughout the class which can get tricky, but it's the best part. Reading & quizzes otherwise. Teacher is an easy grader, no late assignments, no extra credit. Prof. is very supportive.
Seriously one of the best teachers I've ever had. The coursework is difficult but she does a really good job of explaining it.
Get ready to learn: Professor Garbe is highly organized and isn't light on the work - you have to work for your grade. But she is very clear with her expectations, and offers extra credit once in a while. She knows what she's talking about, and its a great class for those new to business.
Emailed about starting on a chapter and an assignment due the second day which had to be 600-words yet the course wasn't available because it was still winter break. The syllabus was 25 pages and the schedule was packed. Avoid. I dropped and chose another professor that actually values my sanity.
Honestly the class was not bad at all. Her instructions may sound strict or too harsh, but it's actually really simple and easy to follow. Don't overthink anything as it's surprisingly easier than you'll think. Textbook is free/given by professor. Do the extra credit, submit papers early, and you'll do fine.
As the others said, she makes her class sound much harder than it is but it's pretty easy. An A+ is not hard to get, but you have to put effort into it so don't expect this class to be a GPA booster. Her quizzes have very short time limits so you should study beforehand. She does not allow you to redo the quiz even if you lose internet connection.
Professor Emily Garbe posted was a good lecturer. However, she did not have too many office hours appointments for students to feel engaged in the class. She assigned 2 quizzes every week as well as multiple writing assignments. Prepare to spend 15+ hours if you take her class on homework and studying. Online text book is used.
Took intro to bus with on-campus lectures but the textbook (open source) was the main base for material. The prof gives a ton of extra credit and is really organized. Knows what she's talking about and is nice to students outside of lectures as well. Class was easy and open note, maybe not the most engaging lectures but a good prof!
When you are first confronted with a 20+ page syllabus, this class can seem very intimidating but it's not hard at all. Instructions are very clear, weekly quizzes with 3 big exams every fourth week, 4 or 5 mini-sims and two papers (one at the beginning of the quarter and one is a midterm). Lecture notes are very useful and textbook is opensource.
Lots of homework, lectures are no more than the textbook, meaningless, tests are out of study range.
So many paper to read, don't take it if you want to actually learn something in a slow pace, you won't be able to handle it.
ok,so she is a very easy teacher all of her quizzes are found online but the first exam is difficult youll need to study and understand how to calculate and stuff.please dont take this class in the summer hw is 2 quizzes every 2 days and a weekend break.exam2 like 90% of questions are found online and are key terms.take notes on video reviw text gl
Do the work and you'll easily get an A. Lectures are dry but her expectations are laid out clearly and as long as you read the chapters and study her lecture print out you'll do fine on the quizzes and exams. Would take her again.
Mrs. Garbe puts a lot of effort into the simulations, which are great practice for real application of marketing concepts. She was easy to get ahold of during office hours. She does record some lectures but they don't include as many unique examples as I would like. Still really enjoyed the class and learned so much.
She didn't post any lectures or anything. All of the work was reading from the textbook or youtube videos she sent out. Weekly chapter quizzes + case studies. 2-3 assignments a week so it was manageable. Easy class, most of the answers were found on quizlets. Midterm + Final was MC. Extra credit if you turned in a few days early.
Weekly textbook quizzes that answers could be found online. She didn't really teach anything, more like she just told you what chapter to read and gave you a quiz. Easy A if you just need the credit and want to log on, do the work and be done for the week. Didn't learn much though.
Dr. Garbe is the academic developer you will need for your future career and life path! She mixes her professional experiences in the lecture videos which is far beyond teaching just the textbook. She also gives great advice on how you can achieve your academic and career goal efficiently while studying in college. She is such an Angel!
answers are searchable, but when it comes to minisims u gotta understand material. uses real life examples in lectures amazing. just do ur work easy A. there wasn't homework, but there were 1-2 weekly quizzes (summer quarter). overall kind teacher.
Lots of extra credit
she gave so many extra credits. online quiz for every lectures and most of the answers can be found online. Free textbook. All exams are open notes. mini sims are kinda hard but if you understand the materials well you're good to go.
Professor gives a lot of extra credit making it very hard to get anything lower than an A. Other than the quizzes and lecture video quizzes which are both easy, she gives mini-sims which are sometimes questionable but shouldn't affect your grade too much. Exams are very easy and straight forward.
Although her quizzes and tests are kind of hard, she gives out a lot of extra credit and also gives out a lot opportunities to make up for any mistakes. Basically if you work hard and put in time, you'll be able to get a good grade. She also gives out a lot of advices both for the tests and in real life.
Don't take her async class if you want to be taught.
She's helpful in many ways to each student allowing and giving everyone a chance to pass her class. She in informative in her lectures and is always there to help you succeed. What's great about her is she gives out extra credit so you can achieve in the course.
Highly recommend! Professor Garbe's insight into business is invaluable. Her lectures are a combination of the class material and examples from her personal experience. Be sure to ask questions! That's the bread and butter. There are PLENTY of extra credit opportunities. An "A+" is very achievable, as long as you are willing to put in some effort.
I'm currently taking her class and she is a super good professor, lectures are short but she teaches a lot and has a lot of good real world examples and explanations. She gives tons of extra credit and our class average grade is an 87%, very easy in this class to get a good grade if you show up and pay attention, workload isn't drastic at all.
Easy peasy class. Just listen to her lectures and you'll get all the info needed for exams. Exams are open notes and plenty of time given. Homework was LONG though. Uses MH Connect for all assignments. Multiple choice, I.E; Complete 45 concepts; Answers 6 questions = 1 concept completed. Homework = hours long! But easy A and you learn a lot.
