I pretty much taught myself this whole class because nothing she does in class is helpful. There is no reason to go to class except sometimes she does in class activities worth points and sometimes she plays a video that will have a question on the exam. Otherwise it's a waste of time, like this class in general.
She's a new teacher, so she assigned all the chapters in Connect for homework. It was a lot of work, but she's a sweet lady and I think she may go easier with the homework as she gets more experience. I agree with the other review that her lectures are not helpful though. At least it's a pretty easy class.
This was her first year at K-State and she is one of the kindest and most caring professors out there. That being said, there was a lot of online homework and of course $150 for the book. Her lectures are tolerable but you don't learn a lot of material during them. She gave decent extra credit, may not be your best option but a fairly good one.
J.J. Brotton is the best teacher I have had at Kansas State. She is one of the nicest professors and wants her students to succeed 100%. If you go to class and participate, you should receive an easy A! I would recommend her to anyone! Take her! 10/10 Recommend. She is amazing! Good Luck if you don't have her!
Does give in class assignments, but class usually gets out early. Easy class and shes pretty nice and gives extra credit
JJ was a good professor. She cares about her students and wants them to succeed. Make sure you stay on top of the online assignments, do the study guide she gives you, and show up to class. As long as you do that you will get an A.
She is a good professor. She truly cares about her students and wants them to do well in her class. Definitely do your homework, show up to class and study for the exams and you'll do fine. She loves when you visit her in office hours too.
Good teacher, very friendly, and really cares about her students well being. Easy A if you attend class and do all the assigned homework.
Very kind and truly cares about her students, lots of homework but its helpful for the test, test are easy
Professor Brotton is a good professor. She makes it clear what you need to do, and as long as you work just a little you will do well. Homework is easy, but monotonous . Tests are worth a lot, but are not very difficult. The best part about her is that she listens to her students and fixes things. She cut our homework in half when we asked for it.
Mrs. Brotton is by far the most caring professor I have had a Kstate, she will help you with anything you need and listen to you when you need help or are going to miss class. Homework and tests are extremely easy. Class can be boring but JJ makes an effort to make the class fun! 10/10 recommend.
J.J. was the best teacher I have ever had at K-State. She genuinely cares about her students and what is going on in our lives. She takes time to learn every name in her classes and she is there for you school related or not inside and outside of class. I was sick one day & she came up to me the next class to check on me. 100% would take her again.
She was by far one of my favorite professors. I didn't end up with an A because I slacked off but it is an easy A if you study the coursework. Review the videos and answer the questions that are provided at the end of video on connect because that helped me on tests. I've never seen a teacher that cares about her students as much as she does.
She rocks. Highly recommend. Study for the tests and you'll be fine.
JJ is so sweet. I took intro to marketing with her the first semester and she was a great prof. I enjoyed her class and as long as you go to class for the in-class assignments and do well on the online tests, the class was a breeze. I still see her in the hallways and she always says hello!
the nicest teacher I've ever had. actually cares about you doing well and how you're doing in life. if you can't take with her wait to take it with her next semester. she's so worth it. I struggle with content heavy intro classes so i had to work and study to get an A but she was so willing to help me get there and genuinely wanted me to get there
I really like JJ! There is a lot of homework, but the tests are pretty easy and the group projects in class are helpful. The only thing I didn't really like were all the learn smarts, but they are pretty short.
JJ is a great teacher and the tests are very manageable. There is a fair amount of online homework but it is not difficult. This is a very easy A as long as you show up and do your homework.
JJ is an awesome teacher! She really cares about all of her students and wants everyone to succeed. Show up to class, do your homework and study some for you test and youll for sure get an A.
Weekly assignments from Connect and random in class assignments for points. Electronic devices are allowed and used for tests. But TRULY shows an interest in her students and their success in her class.
JJ is a great teacher. She really cares about students and their success. There is weekly homework but its not hard at all. The tests arent overly difficult. She is a great teacher and I would take her again.
Great teacher, great lady. She really cares about her students knew my name and asked about how life was going. Basically is like a mom. Very nice but is a stickler about missing tests and assignments so just get your stuff done, she gives you tons of time. she also brought snacks on the last day so that was cool
JJ is my favorite teacher so far at ksu. She's such a sweet lady and tries her best in what she does. She tries to be fun in lectures and make the tests easy, she's overall the best. I can tell she loves teaching and I'm actually going to miss her class. It's the only class I actually went to this semester because she made it so great.
Very nice teacher who is easy to work with. Class really wasn't hard at all. If you attend her reviews and do the simple weekly homework you should have no problem coming away with an A! This is the teacher you want for Marketing 400!
JJ is one of the best professors at K-State. She genuinely cares about every single one of her students and takes the time to know the name of every one. The homework takes a little time if you actually read the chapters but the tests are very straightforward and if you put in a little bit of effort you will pass with an A.
Great teacher and really cares about her students.
A genuine person. She takes such interest in her students and will have all names of the kids in her lectures memorized before mid terms. Such a great person but lectures tend to be speedy and hard to jot down everything if you don't prepare prior to lectures. If you do the work and put the effort in you will be fine and get a good grade
J.J. is an awesome instructor she learns all of her students names. She cares about all of her students. She does have in class assignments so attendance is very important. Homework is easy and she does everything to help your grade.
J.J is an amazing teacher, she really cares about students and their success. She does assign a bit of homework, but it does help to prepare for you for the tests.
J.J. probably has the best lectures of any professor I've ever had. I always knew the material 100% before every test. The problem is it seems like she almost wants you to fail. Her tests are full of trick questions and confusing word problems. I was never able to get higher than a B on any test no matter how hard I studied.
JJ is a great professor, it is obvious how much she cares about her students & their success. She had our full names memorized by midterms (& its a big class!) The only negative is that she uses McGraw Hill Connect/Learnsmart so homework can be lengthy. Also the tests are through McGraw Hill & everyones tests are unique which can be frustrating.
Super nice lady that cares a lot for her students. The only thing to look out for is that her tests are harder than you would expect. However, if you do all the homework well, the tests aren't weighted that much. She also gives out a good amount of extra credit at the beginning of the semester, so pay attention to that!
J.J. is a very good professor. She is very caring and takes time to get to know each student. Her tests aren't bad as long as you study for them. She also really values student feedback and is very accomodating as long as you email her.
JJ is an amazing professor to say the least. She is very sweet, she absolutely cares about her students, and she wants everyone to succeed in her class. If you do what is asked of you and put in effort, you are going to get a good grade in the class easily. This is my second class with JJ and both have been very beneficial to me.
Make sure you show up to class and do the practice problems. If you keep up on your work you should be fine. However, I felt that I had to receive lots of extra help outside of class, when going in to her office hours, she was not the best help. She made me feel stupid for asking for help.
JJ genuinely cares about each of her students. She had a lecture of 100+ students and still took the time to memorize each of our names and got to know us on a personal level. She was extremely helpful when I needed accommodations. Class was easy as long as you show up. The "learnsmart" HW takes a lot of time but I always did it during class.
J.J. is awesome! She makes it clear on the first day of class that she cares about the success of her students. She spends the first couple weeks learning everyone's names, and knows them all by the end of the semester. Go to class and take good notes, and you'll be totally fine. The homework is fair and she is very receptive to feedback. Love her!
Doesn't even know what's going on in her own class. Lectures are purely her doing examples, most of which she does wrong. Homework is done through an online system so I doubt she has ever even looked at them because the tests are completely different.
If you don't pay attention to lectures and take notes, you will not do well on tests.
Mrs. Brotton is a very sweet woman, but teaching is not her calling. She reads straight out of the book and does the examples that the book does, which is not helpful. Attendance is not mandatory, but she gives pop quizzes for points, so go to class.
this class is so easy just show up and youll pass. the teacher is super nice and makes the class go by quick. does some in class group work that i dont like.
JJ is amazing. The bad reviews are heartbreaking. Even aside from the fact that she's the sweetest and most caring professor, she taught a great class. She makes it fun and interesting and wants us to succeed. Book is online with weekly homework and I studied for the exams on quizlet. Definitely take this class, and get to know her, she's the best!
J.J. is super nice, and you really can't go wrong taking a course with her! She explains concepts clearly, is interested in student feedback, and wants to get to know her students. The course expectations were clear and very reasonable.
I loved the class and professor and I actually thought about changing my major so that I could be in more of her classes. I would love to take this class or have her again!
JJ is a very nice, funny, and caring professor that will actively try to get to know you! She learns all the names of her students in her lectures and makes it feel more personable. Her lectures are filled with great information and we also talk about current world news related to marketing. Textbook is online through McGraw-Hill Connect. 10/10
Professor Brotton is super nice, and her lectures were kinda interesting. There were no tests in this class (intro to marketing), only bi-weekly quizzes, which weren't too difficult. The class is based on the McGraw Hill online program. I liked this class a lot!
Professor Brotton is probably my favorite Professor I've had so far. She really cares and enjoys getting to know us as students. She values feedback and adapts her class to match our needs. She wants you to succeed!
J.J. is an amazing professor! She did weekly quizzes instead of exams and it was awesome. You have to listen to her lectures to do good on the quizzes. She truly cares about her students and makes sure everyone understands. She listens to her students if something isn't going well. If you have the chance, take J.J.!
She is awesome. There are a ton of opportunities for points. No exams, only 3 weekly assignments that do not take that long at all. Listens to students and their concerns.
JJ is actually one of the nicest teachers. She changed a lot of the homework and things like that halfway through the semester because of student request. There are no exams only quizzes and in class activities. All you have to do is go to class, read the chapters and you'll do fine. Take JJ if you have the chance you won't regret it.
THE GOAT OF K-STATE TEACHERS
Professor Brotton is a wonderful professor and human being. Not only does she teach the course material well, but she also makes a conscience effort to get to know everyone and make sure they are doing well I would highly recommend her as a professor.
Professor JJ cares for her students. She is clear and concise with her material and is overall a wonderful person. She wants you to succeed. I recommend her!
JJ was AMAZING. You could see her passion for marketing and she really made this class so much fun. I learned a ton. One thing she did that I loved was halfway through the semester, she took a day to get everyone's opinions on her assignments for the rest of the semester. We collectively came to agreements on points and extra credit. She's great!
Love JJ! Super nice and chill. No exams, just proctored quizzes that are easy if you pay attention. Def reccommend!
Best teacher I have ever had. She truly loves her students and her job. No tests just weekly proctored quizzes. Each class consists of a lecture where she tells you exactly what to study in order to get the best grade on the next quiz. Highly recommend.
To be fair, JJ is very nice and caring. Every single day, the first 30 or so minutes of class are her talking nonsense about things that are not prevalent to our course. We could be getting let out early everyday, but no she has to tell us about how her son is in a business frat here and how cool it is. Also, 6 assignments per week that are hard.
JJ is amazing. Basically you use McGraw hill and have 2 chapters due a week. Each chapter has 3 things with it: learnsmart assignment, homework, and a quiz. BUT THERE ARE NO EXAMS. Not much extra credit opportunity but if you show up to lecture she goes over the exact things asked on the quizzes and the lowest score I ever got was a B on a quiz!
If you go to her lectures, and do the online assignments it is very easy. She is super nice and highly recommend.
Professor Brotton was a really good professor! There are 21 chapters of work, each consisting of a homework, Smart Book assignment, and a quiz. There are some in-class group activities that aren't too hard at all, but overall, it is an easy A. She is very helpful and cares about all of her students.
I highly recommend this professor, she is amazing! She's very accessible with any questions, concerns, or if you cant make it to class. There weren't any exams but there were bi-weekly quizzes and homework. One of my favorite professors to date.
There were lots of homework assignments but overall a very good teacher, nothing too hard
Super kind, wants to help
J.J. loves her job and she loves us. She truly cares about her students and wants everyone to be successful in her class. Easy tests if you study the vocab definitions. Go to class and shell tell you specifically what you need to know on the test. If you can, take a class with J.J!!
JJ is the best! She really cares about her students and makes that apparent in everything she does. She learned all 350 of her students full names and tried to get to know everyone. Go to lectures because shell tell you exactly whats on the test. Offered extra credit. Highly recommend.
JJ is one of the sweetest professors I have ever had, however her class was repetitive and boring. She was very invested and got to know every single names of her students. The tests are difficult and mostly definition based, however sometimes she gives you test answers during class.
loved JJ, she was great
JJ is an amazing professor! She took the time to get to know her students by name and other facts about us. Her class was pretty easy but the exams do require studying. Go to the review days because she tells you more stuff that will be on the exams. I recommend taking notes before class from the powerpoint and then editing them during the lecture.
JJ might be the nicest professor/teacher I have ever had. She spends hours of her own time outside of class memorizing her students names and always is trying to get to know her students outside of the classroom. HW is easy but time consuming, tests need to be studied for, but overall any class offered by kstate that she teaches, take it with her!
J.J. is an amazing professor and person. He class is very straightforward, as long as you go to most lectures and study for tests you will do fine! J.J. really makes the class worth taking, she is the sweetest and cares about your mental being outside of school.
I loved J.J. I think she is one of the most caring professors on campus. I would definitely recommend going to class if you want to do well on tests. I 100% recommend her.
Makes sure you know how to succeed in your class. Wants students to succeed.
JJ is heavy on lectures, but the test is exactly like the study guides/notes.
Very smart, and kind. Also, she is easily accessible outside of class.
As a first year student JJ is so great and definitely is my favorite professor. She not only loves and cares about her job but she goes above and beyond to make connections with her students. The only complaint about the class is that some of the exam questions are really wordy and some seem that there could be two correct answers. 10/10 class.
If I could take Professor Brotton for every class, I would! Professor Brotton is one of the most caring professors I have ever met, and she takes time to get to know and interact with students. She is also very knowledgeable and conveys the information well in class to help you retain it. Excellent and clear study guides, too. Do your homework!
JJ was super kind and caring and wanted all her students to succeed.
She is a great caring teacher and prepares you well for tests if you show up and pay attention to what she emphasizes will be on the test.
J.J is super caring and gives test answers in class. Attendance is not mandatory but I would recommend going for test answers and random in class activities. I used Quizlet to study for each test and received A's for all my test scores.
Top 5 professors in the business school. I started college in her class and now I made sure to end with her too. I learned so much from her and never had a problem getting help from her. She attends student functions outside of class to for charity/student life etc. Also, her Canvas courses are laid out way better than others! Take her if you can!!
HW assigments took awhile to do but the test were fairly easy I got B's on all of them. Study the definitions of the vocab words and you will be fine.
JJ is truly an amazing professor. She wants everyone to succeed in her class and gives us the tools to do that. Assignments are straightforward. Tests are not bad as long as you give plenty of time to study. She knows every student by name and she is very kind. I would take her class again in a heartbeat!
J.J. is so incredibly caring and kind
I loved having Professor Brotton as a teacher, she knew everybody's name and was always very kind. I would usually study for her exams using Quizlet or StudyFetch before exams because they are very term and definition heavy. She gives out a lot of extra credit over the semester in both the exam and assignment categories. Do the extra credit.
She knows her stuff but she teaches class like it's elementary school. We were told on the first day to make a nametag and use it all semester, we are in college and are supposed to be learning how to be adults. It is a business class though. Passed with a B and studied maybe 90 minutes total for all the exams.
JJ is amazing. She really cares about each and every student and takes the time to get to know you. I do recommend taking notes before class because it makes it a lot easier to retain the information she is saying in class.
JJ is probably the most kind and caring professor you will ever have. She makes an effort to know everyone's names despite having a ton of students. She provides a multitude of extra credit opportunities and overall made me want to show up to class. Lectures are interesting and cover a lot of important information. Must study for tests!!
