Hands down one of the best professors I have taken so far. Professor Flom gives you all the tools you will need in order to succeed in the class, you just have to put in the work. Lecture videos were helpful as she used real world examples to explain the material. You will need to buy the book in order to do homework and exams. Definitely recommend

Course is easy other than Capsim simulation that made no sense. Expressed trouble with understanding Capsim after even after getting help from a tutor. Instead of seeing giving guidance, she yelled at me for going to tutoring for help rather than her? Was also very dismissive of other students that expressed confusion. Not a great teacher.

If you do the work and put in the effort you should get a good grade in this class. Professor Flom offers a lot of extra credit opportunities. Take advantage of the extra credit opportunities. She is a very fair grader and her class wasn't too difficult. If you are a good test taker and do the extra credit you should easily pass this class.

She is a tough grader for the individual and group presentations and can be moody at times. Easy HW and other assignments but the presentations make up almost 30% of the class so getting an A can be difficult.

The beginning of the semester is based on chapters of the book (she uploads chapter videos so don't purchase the book). Everyone is required to do a WSJ presentation, its easy. The capsim simulation was the most annoying part but as long as you do it on time you receive credit. She also offers extra credit multiple times which I recommend doing.

She is a tough grader and expects a lot out of you for the assignments. I struggled in the beginning but after looking at her feedback and emailing her the course was a lot easier. She offers extra credit opportunities, so you can get your grade back up. Would recommend her for this course, but take it online, it was easy in my opinion.

By far the worst/hardest professor I have ever had in my entire college career. Her tests were nothing like her study guides. I spent HOURS doing her study guides still did poorly. She talked down to me in our email conversations when I had questions. The Capstone Simulation is so time consuming and, in my opinion, did nothing for my education.

Professor Flom was interesting because as long as you show that you care and put in the work she treats you well. However, she hates when students come in late and sometimes takes that anger out on everyone. Overall, I would say that she try's her best and it's easy to do well if you put in the effort.

Don't take with Professor Flom. Her online class consists of 2 assignments a week, and a few discussion posts. Assignments are easy, but good luck on the exams! Exams are extremely difficult, and you'll see questions you've never been taught over. Makes her class really hard to get an A for an intro class. Makes you pay for extra credit!!!

Any potential for this class to provide meaningful information is reduced by the way the professor structures it and her refusal to allow any notes on exams. The amount of content she expects you to cover week by week - including introducing new material the same week as the exam it appears on - requires you to resort to memorization.

The only resource of value is the textbook. Her lectures are pointless and provide no value. The exam questions are extremely specific, exams cover a large amount of material, and no notes. If the questions were more overview, the no notes would not be an issue. But instead they are detailed, specific, and not so much conceptual as recall of text.

The most frustrating part of this course is that the professor completely ignores the subject matter of the course that could actually be applied to the way in which she structures the class. Read the text, ignore the lectures, and get 100% on every assignment because the exams will bite you. I have never struggled with exams until this class.

I don't feel like I learned anything meaningful in this course. especially the Capsim simulation it was extremely time consuming and added no real educational value. Jackie flom very tough grader, and to be honest, this was the worst teaching experience I've had Between the grading and the lack of clear guidance. Avoid her if you want to do well.

She's upfront and blunt about her grading procedures, and CAPSIM is hard if you don't pay attention, she should start earlier but doesn't, she'll side-eye you if you walk in late to class so don't get on her bad side, she's also short-tempered but wants you to succeed, overall she's a mid professor. If you can take it with Gary Insch, he's chill.

She has high expectations for her students when it comes to being responsible. The first half of the class is focused on writing emails, leaving voicemails, etc. The second half is presentation-based. You give three presentations. If you practice the presentations, you will be good. She allows you to use notecards - don't read directly from them.

Jackie is a great professor with clear expectations for the class. She gets agitated if the class doesn't participate; save your classmates & answer her questions. The first day of the week is lecture-heavy, and the last day of the week is groupwork. A very easy class; I got a B and didn't study very hard. She makes the materials easy to remember.
