A very good teacher. She was a little difficult to understand because she is from France. She gives out study guides and reviews thoroughly before tests. I took her in an 8 week course. Overall, I would recommend her.
She is very helpfull, and a wise business person
Very helpful teacher. I liked her class and I liked the fact that she is from Europe!!
Omg this teacher is the greatest out of all teachers that I had she is willing to help you no matter what problem you have. She has an accent but she is easy to understand. Her class is easy if you go to class and pay close attention and she alway have reviews before each Exam. So good luck and she is a ton of fun.
Very good teacher, and a very good person too. Yeah, she has accent... but many people in America have accents.. She is very nice.
She is very helpfull
She's one of the most helpfull professors. If you ask her to help you out with anything she probebly will.. Forget that study guides she gives out, read the book. Everything is in the book.
If you need easy credits, take her courses, just do not expect to actually learn anything. She will throw extra credit at anyone who does not have an 'A' until they do. If you need to truely know this information, you will need to keep your books and teach yourself after this course is over.
This class is so easy. All the tests are open book, and she gives you these quizzes that are the same questions on the test. Just highlight all the quizzes in the book. Easy. Don't expect to learn anything in the class. Easy A or B. Depending on how good you do in the tests!
No Comments
i did like her as a person, and yes it is easy to get an a with extra work, but it was my elective class and i needed an easy a. i do recomened her class.
If you need to know any information from the class use a different Prof. Basis all powerpoint lectures directly out of the book. Her questions are generally directly out of the book finish the sentence. Class wasn't that hard, but little learning is achieved. It isn't that hard to get an "A" in her class.
Terrible!! I read comments about her from this site and thought that she was going to be easy. Definitely not the case... she is a terrible teacher and hard to get an A in. I would NEVER reccomend her to anyone.
Very nice. A little hard to understand. She lets you take as many notes as you want, and ets you use everything thats hand-written on all tests and quizzes. She is not clear on assignments, so make sure if you are uncertain in any way that you ask questions!
somebody give this lady a big mac ! she was a good teacher but not crystal clear on everything..her tests r a cake walk. just use your quizes and do the deffinations for each chapter and u will have an A
she has a heavy accent, but u get used to it, i did. she gives 5 pts extra quiz b4 tests which is open notes. takes attendance every day. boring class but overall not hard.
I would not rocommend this teacher. She's a nice person but I find it difficult to understand her speach. You go into the test feeling everly prepared, yet come out getting low test scores. I don't believe this class is an easy A. Although she is a nice lady.
"In Paris, blah, blah, blah..." Very arrogant teacher. Take her, and you will understand why so many people worldwide hate the french. She shows absolutely no knowledge and although attendance is required, you could do very well by just reading the book and never showing up to class. Horrible teacher, waste of my time and money,since I had to drop
I had to drop but not bc of here she really nice and gives u many chances to succeed im actually taking her again this semester for same class
Just like that person said take her and you know why people hate the french. She is very knowledgeable but she just doesn't know how to teach. She allowed open notes test if you wrote down keyterm and rewrite quizes you should be ok. Her accent is tough but that the really world get over it.
This teacher is very accomdating to students with learning disablities.
Very good teacher. Has a French accent but it easy to understand. Uses powerpoints and videos in class. LOTS OF EXTRA CREDIT. Open notes on tests and extra points if you use your notes. Lots of reviewing for tests and extra review sessions with extra credit points. Extremely nice lady :)
Nice woman, took her for Intro to Business and it was great. I wish I could take her marketing course as well! She's more than fair with her grades and does the best she can to accommodate students.
dont even think about it
Teacher test were hard but I enjoyed her class.I managed to pass with an A. She is a little hard to understand but she is very helpful. She is a really nice person from Paris.
notes allowed to use on test. i never read the book and i did my 6 page term project the day before it was due and recived a 98 on paper and a b in th class. would
Very nice women. The class was okay.. She is french so her accent is a little hard to understand and talks very quitly. Shes more than fair and really cares about her students.
very nice person, but not as good of a teacher
VERY EASY CLASS. ALL THE TESTS ARE OPEN NOTES. YOU JUST HAVE TO WRITE ALL THE NOTES YOU ARE USING FOR THE TEST. NO PRINTOUTS. LITTLE HARD TO UNDERSTAND WITH FRENCH ACCENT BUT SHE IS A NICE TEACHER.
She is dumb. dumbest class ever. hard to understand. open book tests. all notes. ridiculous activities that she doesnt even get.
Shes hard to understand cuz she has a french accent and when you ask her a question she will most likely not understand you and answer wrong so dont bother. but shes extremely nice (too nice and a lot of students walked all over her) her test are all open WRITTEN notes, dont type them or she won't let you use them. I copied the highlighted sections
I missed a class on test night but got an A on it? Showed up for last test and was told I didn't need to take it. I don't recall doing a final project or anything in that class. We watched videos and discussed the book a lot in class so I never read it at home. If you fail this class, drop out because there is something seriously wrong with you.
Very cool and helpfull. Nice person.
Her exams are really easy. Open note tests one open book test. Hands out quizes that are gone over in class so its a helpful tool to study since it WILL be on the next test. ust make a good impression & she will like you.Her (french) accent is kind of thick but understandable.BOOK IS DEF NEEDED!She emails powerpoint & review! Great class overall!
I have taken this professor for the 3rd time. she is such a sweet little french lady. Her classes are easy and she gives you quizzes and all you have to do is copy down the quizzes because her tests are open notes and most of the time the test are the exact questions from the quizzes in the same order. easy A. Not strick on attendance either.
Super easy. sweet little french lady. tests are open notes so copy the quizzes because the test are the exact questions.
Very helpful and friendly. She really cares about all her students. tests are open book, but requires reflexion...no so hard, if you read the chapters.
She has a problem being a strict disciplinary teacher but she tries. All test are open hand written notes. Test are straight from text book. FYI get updated book bc older books sometimes did not have all information. Sit in front bc she has a quite voice and the more into the class you are the more she's willing to give you a point or two extra
She is Horrible Professor!Majority of the work she covers is not on the test. she also has a strong french accent, so it is very difficult to understand her. please remember to participate in her class discussions or you might just fail.
The tests are very easy as long as you take good notes from the textbook.
Her accent makes it very difficult to understand and she has a soft voice but pleasant. She will give you a study guide to use for the test which makes it easy. She is strict when it comes to attendance, tardiness and talking. I would take her again for ease of class.
DO NOT take her unless you can understand heavy French accent, to top it off she speaks very low & doesn't comprehend any questions students ask.Her tests are all open notes which you have to copy the entire chapters from book & PPT. You'll only pass the tests if you're a great answer guesser. Her final prepare to fail horrible. Waste of my $& time
Is a BIT difficult to understand but if you PAY ATTENTION, COME TO CLASS, AND KEEP UP, YOU WILL PASS! She does let you use notes and tells you the chapters to study. She even gives extra credit! If you come to her class with an attitude and making her "accent" an excuse that you failed you have issues, you have the book that is clear and helpful!
OMG! Her online class was a mess, links not working, assignments not showing as submitted, nothing but problems. BUT, she ended up eliminating a bunch of requirements. Tried to help via the phone but her accent VERY difficult to comprehend. Might be better situation in a class room. Online class VERY stressful!
This professor is horrible, I am sorry but it is true. Dont let the other comments on here fool you. She is so nice but she lectures and is very strict. There no interaction. Literally it is just your and your book.
She is the worst I've ever had. She doesnt understand english and talks down to students. Class was boring and everyone hated her. Dont take this class trust me, youll regret every minute!
This class is very easy, but you have to read the book. All questions comes from it. Her lectures are based on power points . And one major project.
So lenient, very kind. low amount of work. easy work. single easiest class i have taken online, not half as much work as other classes. exams are from practice quiz questions. doesnt get much easier
She does have a soft voice with a thick accent, which I can handle, but she cannot hear very well and interaction is nearly impossible. She uses PPT and test banks for everything and doesn't teach very much. All of the presentations were optional but the last one. Nice lady, not a great professor.
she does have an accent and is soft spoken but if u do the marketing plan and study of her test review u will never have to open the book. so easy. will def take her again.
I took this class online for MAR2011 and enjoyed it at first. Her instructions in the beginning were clear and the assignments are fair. She typically requires a discussion post, a quiz and chapter reading for every chapter. In the last 4 chapters though something happened and the Chapters were all wrong, bad quizzes, and a lot of confusion.
The grading system is not automatic - keep track of your grades, i almost lost a whole letter grade because she didnt update. - Prof. is willing to extend extra credit to help you, do your homework and read chapts there should be no issue
Had her for supervision. It's a standard class with PowerPoint lectures. Not much substance. Gives some extra credit. One simple project. Show up and pass. Easy A if you're a decent student, but boring. Good to take with harder classes because there is little effort involved.
Her test do not match the study guides. She is hard to understand and does not tech. You have to learn on your own but you can use notes on the test. Copy the whole chapter.
She doesn't teach, us students have to teach the class, she gives extra credit, we can use our notes for test and drops the lowest grade. Read the WHOLE book!
I took her for principals of supervision. Each chapter had a chapter summary, key terms, and power point slides. There are 6 exams that cover the information from the chapter, and 1 term project. The project is a case and you have to answer a few questions. I e-mailed her a few times and she got back to me right away. I enjoyed the class.
she does not teach in class. each student in class presents one chapter. before each chapter she takes oral quiz whoever answer first gets extra credits. flexible. if you miss the exam she lets you take it at your time. lots of paper and small assignments. be ready to read whole book. she lets you use class notes in exam so copy whole book.
Great teacher! Take advantage of the practice quizzes and read the chapters from the book and you will get an easy "A".
This class is graded by 5 exams and a term project - all other work throughout the semester is not graded, but helps your understand of the subject matter. Her blackboard is disorganized and you need to work out which parts pertain to your course, so if you're an organized person, this will drive you crazy. No feedback on exams or term project.
It is insanely frustrating that PBSC hires teachers like this. Very sweet old lady but it gets to the point when enough is enough. She can't hear, can't see, stutters 95% of the time. There's no structure to the class what so ever. I don't EVER bash on teachers and again she is sweet but I can't believe this is the education we pay hundreds for....
LOL THIS CLASS SUCKED THE TEST MAKE NO SENSE NOTES OR NO NOTES
Professor Montonen has a heavy accent. She gives a lot of extra credit. Tests are open note, super easy. Everybody has to present a chapter, so we are basically lecturing the class. Easy A.
If you want to get a C *if you're lucky*, then this is the professor for you! Lectures consist of her, or students reading 60-80 slide PowerPoints from the textbook publisher for over an hour each class. Tests are taken straight from the publisher. Vague study guides only account for about 50% of the tests. For the rest, you're on your own.
I took Prof. Montonen for three online classes, Marketing, Advertising, and Supervision. Her online classes are very flexible for any busy schedule. Just remember to read the chapters, do the quizzes and discussions, and fill in the term project whenever you get the chance. I recommend her for every business student!
I took professor Montenon for two classes this semester (MAR& MKA) & I passed them both with an A. Make sure you do every discussion question (explain), don't miss any test, and do extra credit. If you stay on top of assignments will pass. There is a big term project so get started on it early!. Overall very great and fair professor with grading.
I have taken 2 classes with this professor, MNA2100 and MAR2100, if there where more that I needed to take I would take her again. These class is super fun, easy, and common sense. The only grades are the exams and a paper at the end of the semester. She gives a ton of extra credit for taking notes and playing Kahoot. Both classes I recieved 104%!
Not a hard class, but she is VERY unorganized with the agenda and grade bok. Dates are off and lacks clear structions. She makes it feel like this is just an easy paycheck.
I would recommend Dr. Montonen for everyone. She always responds quickly, clear with her explanations and helpful. You will have 5 exams (6 if you need a better grade), participate in the discussion board and one term project. I loved her class and I wish I had more classes with her.
She's a very easy going teacher; she enjoys what she does. She's from france so expect an accent and she does not understand or listen well. She does not respond to emails in a timely manner and does a poor job giving extra help outisde of class. Overall if you do your work and study its an easy A, but if you need help dont expect it from her.
Horrible professor I do not recommend taking her. I worked very hard, did all my work, passed all exams and she tried to fail me at the end of the semester for no reason when I did exactly what she asked. I am very upset and never taking her again.
How this professor doesn't have a 5 score is beyond me! This is an easy A if you do the work. She gives you power points and chapter reviews. Use that to help with the test. The quiz is your study guide to your test. The power point presentation and paper both were easy and based on the chapters you cover or will cover. I got an A.
Great professor! Gives plenty of time to complete assignments. The group project wasn't hard, but I had a wonderful group to work with. Would highly recommend her!!
Professor Montonen was absolutely amazing. You are only graded on the tests (which you can take twice, highest score saves, same questions both times), and a term project. She makes her expectations known, but if you had any questions, she will respectfully and quickly get back to you. Lots of chances for extra credit. I'm taking her next semester!
She wants her students to succeed but you have to complete her assignments and ask for assistance if you dont understand. Always responds to emails. I have her for this course and MNA 2345. Received the same feedback and A+ because I did the work
One of the best professors I have taken so far. she is very caring and very helpful. She breaks down all the assignments if you have any questions. She has extended deadlines if she sees a lot of students have other work to do and cannot complete her work. If you have any questions and email her she usually gets back to you the same day.
The professor seems nice enough, but it was weeks into the 8 week course before she was able to get her course working. The online class is a typical CENGAGE course and she blocks out tests to only be taken within a few days. All of her writing is riddled with easily correctable typos, but she's either lazy or just doesn't care enough.
I took this professor for Personal Selling and Principles of Supervision. I did not buy the textbook for either class, I did not study a single thing for any exam, and I barely put any effort into assignments, I got an A for both classes. If you have questions about the course or assignments, be ready to not receive an answer since she is deaf.
I have taken this professor for several classes. She is very lenient and sweet. She gives you multiple exam attempts and more than enough time to complete all assignments. Her classes have all been very easy.
Easy class, but the teacher is a terrible responder. Graded by 5 exams and a project.
Professor Montonen was by far the best professor ever. I took it as an Express course for Fall A, and it was the best decision. She gives a lot of extra credit, but if you do your work on time and early, it's not needed. The work is mostly due at the end of the Express term with some exceptions such as tests.
TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! She is so sweet and truly cares for her students. I took her class online as a dual enrollment course and it was by far the easiest class I have ever taken at PBSC. You do not need to read/buy the textbook- all of the answers to her quizzes are online and they aren't proctored.
She is a nice professor. Her work is very easy. No assignments just 5 exams. A very lenient grader. Lectures are impactful and actually interesting. However, she isn't the most organized professor. She is everywhere sometimes which confuses the class a bit. There is also a paper you must write due at the end of the semester.
Besides coming late, taking a whole 10 minutes to take attendance, she did not give us any assignment other than a power point presentation and 1 essay, she kept mentioning "I don't remember this or that when lecturing" seem low sense to care, It could be a me problem but her French accent makes it highly difficult to understand.
