She's crazy. Avoid her at all costs. In addition to her shutting you up whenever you slightly go off topic constantly yelling for you to speak up, she treats everyone like children and whines for us to read the book. She actually left a class because people didn't read the book. I'll read the book before the test, shut up!

She?s interesting, intelligent, with a great sense of humor and very respectful towards her students. There are three non-cumulative exams, no homework or project.

You can either go to class and study your notes, or read the book and skip class. The tests are so easy. If you read the question, the answer is either the longest answer or the most logical sounding statement. Seriously, I got 100s on two on the tests. She is nuts, but it makes the class fun.

My biggest complaint is that she did not provide a productive environment for learning. While knowledgeable in her field, she did not use her expertise to provoke thinking.

The learning environment is nearly detrimental to learning. The expectation is that you come to class and repeat everything she says; and things she says are at times wrong. Tests are not reviewed, grading is not explained, but errors do exist. Got a B for participation because I corrected one of her statements. Not a difficult class however.

I am totally not adapted to her teaching method. She didn't explain things well and expected you know everything already. Speak in the class is counted toward your final grade, so some people were forced to speaking without making a point. Exams are not much related to what she said in the class or the book. Some problems were not explained at all.

this professor is best in baruch in case teaching. she knows how to handle different views of different students. she teaches very useful things. I used what I learned in her class in a job interview and got the job. her classes are very engaging. sometimes too many overheads and much material, but overall very good.

So bad. She forgot to come to class twice. Was never there when we had an exam (in case we had questions) and would yell at us, saying we didnt speak loud enough. She gave sporadic, all over the place notes. Really didn't enjoy this class, but it was mandatory for my MBA.

The professors professional abilities are questionable. Even though she has an impressive bio, the teaching style is inappropriate for Baruch. It seems that she is most of the time the only professor who teaches this class and I don't understand why since there are so many great prof. at Baruch.

Agree w neg reviews. Also she gave out participation grade on the last day by having 2 MBA classes (100+ppl) come to the auditorium, she then called students to raise hands and graded each on the spot. Since participation is 25% of grade, a professional MBA Prof should make contemporary class notes, not grade 100+ppl based on feeling on d spot

Why is it all the good reviews are written in the same manner? The same person probably writes them all. Professor Nachum embraces the idea that multinational corporations are the best thing for the world since sliced bread, however when asked to justify certain things she brushes you off.

Class project 40% Final exam 60%. Project is a joke, with about 45 minutes of work per team-member to get it done. Classes are long because it's once a week. Lectures are more or less interesting. If you feel that she's ignoring you, or just letting you talk and then moving on, that's probably because she is. Says "your point is well taken" a lot.

Best professor you can get in Baruch College. She always comes very well prepared, encourages students to participate in class and also respects everyone's opinions. She is very knowledgeable about international issues, so it is perfect for teaching International Business. Take this class, you won't find a professor like her in any class in Baruch.

First and foremost, shes experienced and very knowledgeable in the field of international marketing.

She's a lovely lady with the best intentions. But her classes could be better organized. She simply skips many of her slides because she's always running out of time.

Not too difficult of a class from a content perspective, but participation accounts for nearly half the grade. It is arbitrary and based on whether she thinks your response to her unclear/vague questions are good enough. The two group projects also do not have much direction.
