I love this teacher. She is interesting and funny and really cares about her students. She prefers to give essay tests (short answer) but gives study guides and lets you make up credit and earn extra credit. Advertising is not as easy as you probably think and this class was hard. But I learned more about marketing in this class than in any other.
One of my favorite teachers of all time. It really bums me out that I won't be able to take any more classes with her.
One of the two best teachers I've ever had. Ever. She's awesome! Not necessarily easy, but awesome! (You'll learn a lot.)
No Comments
No finer teacher in the dept., school, or any of the other 2 schools I have attended. Caring, thorough, complete, understanding, and passionate. She is my "exibit A" why all colleges should employ nothing but adjuncts. A professor currently working in the industry- Imagine That!!! Oh, and did I mention she's beautiful?
Great and caring teacher, not judgemental, way under-compensated, must love teaching
She knows her stuff!! :)
very clear, easy to grasp concepts, challenging in an enjoyable way
I go back and forth with this professor. I appreciate her energy and knowledge for the subject. My learning was enhanced from her teaching. The class was easy, but the tests were challenging. She is one smart cookie! She should be teaching more classes at UNO. I think that she would have a greater impact on the students then she allows herself!
I found that her directions were so specific, all they did was confuse the heck out of you.
I've only had 3 classes so far this semester but I already know that I LOVE this professor. I come to class tired and leave energized. 3 hours fly by. She makes the matrial come alive. I might have to comment again if the tests turn out to be horroble but at this point, this is my best class of the semester and my favorite teacher.
good teacher, nice and avaiable if we need help
She made it interesting. I actually looked foreward to class and didn't mind how long it was. (My first night class, almost 3 hours. Went by really fast. The whole semester did. I'm taking another class from her nest semester;
She is a very good teacher. She keeps the class interesting.
Very nice and patient teacher who sincerly wants to help students.
Great understanding of marketing . Obviously continues to teach herself, which transfers easily to the classroom.
Great professor ! !
Alright, now here is an interesting teacher. You have an absolute liberal. Know that.. ALSO know that she thinks of Apple, not the fruit, as GOD. I mean it when I say, DO NOT SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT APPLE INC. After you can get passed her "cult-like" opinions, she is very effective. Read the Ch's + Notes & you'll be ok. Kinda hot, but old.
Teacher loves her Apple computers and she is VERY liberal. She is a good teacher and she gets her point across well. Overall she did an awesome job. You will have some good and crazy discussions in her class.
She was great!! Really cares about us learning and told and showed us lots of interesting new things that were not in the book. I really learned a lot and I like this teacher and would take her again.
Was surprised by how much I enjoyed this class. I can see why people like this teacher so much. I did too. Really made it interesting and made things make sense. Taking her again this semester. Definitely recommend.
Wasn't thrilled about the AA meeting style group introduction, or the 15 minutes spent taking role every class. Prone to asking loaded questions. So far she is concise and able to relate the subject to real world examples. Self proclaimed liberal which should make class interesting considering my moderate stance and argumnetative nature. cute
She is one of the best teachers i have had at uno. She knows the material and make it easy to understand. Her class is not really hard. If you attend to all the classes, take good notes and read the text book you will be able to make an A. I recommend this professor to everybody.
She's a cool cat. Easy going and flexible. Great examples and explanations. Very passionate about the subject. I recommend!
Terrible Teacher! friendly, does not give you any material. Does not write on the board. braggs about her web page. Do Not take her. Take Cromartie instead. She is not going to teach you anyting.
as a female i didn't want to rate my professor but did it any way. i love the enthusiasm you bring to the class room. it makes it alot easier to pay attention.
I adore this teacher. She is helpful, thoughtful & really cares about her students. Her lectures are fun. It was the 2nd class I took from her & I want to take another! I recommend.
GREAT PROF! Take her! she is fun and makes the class interesting.
Awesome teacher, very enthusiastic. Gives many great examples to make the material easier to understand. No homework, just study for test. She does give opp. for extra credit. I would def. take her again.
I love this chick! Take her class.
Very fun and lively, great to be around!!
Read the book, answer the review questions, pass the tests. No home work, attendance 10% of your grade.I would take another MKT class with her.
Great teacher whose voice carries through auditorium. She applies the material to many things in our daily lives in a fun way. Great teacher.
Tests are fair - she puts questions with close answers together so you can figure out the difference. Read the book and WRITE DOWN the examples she gives in class - you'll see them again! No tricks here, just real live concern. She's not what I would call sexy - but she's certaintly not hard on the eyes!
A little bit flaky but nice. Tests are easy and use study guide if she gives one. No homework and give extra credit. She cancels class a decent amount as well but if you aren't there when she tells the class, you're out of luck. And she takes FOREVER to post test grades even if scantron. Sometimes took 2 weeks to post grade
She made the class fun and exciting. She was very fair and the test were easy as long as you took notes and also study the online study guides from the book.
She is an amazing professor, she loves what she does and makes class fun. Best professor at UNO
The class is conducted in a manner where she doesn't give exact notes but more of examples. MOst of the time I find myself not knowing what notes I should be writing...ur better off reading the book
Always late to class and usually has some bummed out excuse. Not reasonable when it comes to grading. No curving for her test and test material is not at all what she lectured about. Knows marketing well, but maybe she should stick to being the band marketer, seems like that's where her passion is.
Lol at comment below. You are right: she talks about bands at every lecture. Palumbo is effective, although she can be a scattered mess sometimes. Go to class, take good notes (especially the examples), and use the book as a supplement to her lectures. Tests are, 75% of the time, from what she talks about in class.
I liked her as a person but she just could not really teach she gave examples of stuff and was very hard to follow at times. Her test were hard. She does love to talk about her bands and I really thing she should watch some TV so she can see what ads are running!
Personally, I found her a bit annoying. She lectures straight from the book and her tests are sometimes all over the place. However, there are some unexpected perks to her class that make her constant rambling about her family tolerable. I'd take her class again if I had to becuase it's not that hard to get a good grade.
I love Palumbo! Great teacher. One of the best I've had at UNO. Kept class interesting and entertaining and it made me want to start paying attention to all kinds of marketing stuff. Her tests aren't necessarily easy, but the assignments were fun and helpful. I'm taking her again this semester and would definitely recommend her.
Probably one of may favorite teachers at UNO. She was great teacher and very understanding. And made Marketing pretty interesting.
Nice teacher but all she does is go over vocabulary words in class and thats the words that are on the test but is making sure you know examples of the words not definitions which make her tests very hard because most of the terms are similar. You will need your book to study and keep up in class.
OMG i dont have words to explain how bad she is. She is disorganized and aaaalways late. She talks and talks and talks during class and then the tests are F hard. She just wants to confuse you when taking the tests, she wants us to fail, thats it. She is the WORST teacher in this country,well in this world!!!!!!
Avoid this professor at all costs. Waits till half the semester is over to post grades. Always has a reason to never have the test grades graded. When you ask to see how you did on the test always a reason why she doesn't have it. Really doesn't care if you pass or fail. And gives no help to help you improve.
SHE IS THE GREATEST TEACHER EVER HANDS DOWN! SUPER EASY CLASS,VERY FUNNY AND DOWN TO EARTH PROFESSOR GIVES A TON OF EXTRA CREDIT UP TO 10 POINTS TO YOUR FINAL GRADE!!! SHE IS THE QUEEN OF MARKETING!! ALL HAIL MS P!!!
Professor Palumbo is crystal clear. Participate, listen and do the study guides. I almost never took notes, but sat in the front of the class, and got an "A". She loves the subject and makes it really interesting. Take her. She is the best teacher ever.
Very clear about requirements. Tests are very hard if you do not study. Do not underestimate test difficulty! She gives huge bonus points if you take on a fairly involved project. But, the project is helpful for your own career planning. I enjoyed the class. Learned quite a bit since I knew next to nothing about marketing. Good teacher.
Marketing was not my favorite subject and it was a class I struggled in. I didn't understand it and was lost and confused. The extra credit was a big help for me.
Only 3 tests, no final! Make sure you read the book! I didn't read it for the first 2 tests but the 3rd test I did and got an A! Gives extra credit for online posts and articles at end of semester. Lectures the whole class, no getting out early. Takes off for attendance. Don't skip!
LOVE PROFESSOR PALUMBO!!! Coolest teacher at UNO. Yes, get ready to work hard and read, read, read the chapters. Go to class, as she does verbally talk about test questions in her long lectures. Loves to talk and know lots about MKT. Always available to talk and is real down to earth.
I personally would not take her again. She does too much talking. She seems to have a story for everything. None of her stories are on her test or helpful. Just knowing terms will not help you pass the test. Every single question is a scenario on her test. She didnt really use the book. It was a waste of money but required for my marketing lab.
I took her twice, would not take her any any more!! she talks too much, you don't really need the book, waste of money, long lectures, you will never be out early, plus her tests are confusing! I have no idea why she is rated hot when she is not.
Great teacher. Well respected.
If you really study and can learn the in-depth meaning of marketing and its' strategies, you're good. Test's will not be terms and are made by her so can be rather difficult. Palumbo is really nice and teaches common sense
I took Palumbo a few semesters ago for 3501 & liked her. took her again for consumer behavior last semester and LOVED her. I don't get the person who said she's judgmental. I've never met a less judgmental person ever and she always took the time out to answer questions and help. Lectures were interesting and sometimes really funny. I learned a lot
I love Lisa Palumbo! A cool lady that makes marketing a fun subject. The key to getting an A in her class is to take notes on the examples she gives on certain topics. 9 times outta 10, she will use the same example that she gives in class. She does not test you on definitions but gives examples of them and expects you to know what is by example
Professor Palumbo has shown a great passion for marketing and people in general. She effectively provided examples that went along with the topics. She consistently allocated the proper amount of time to cover all material in the time available while making the class go by in a reasonably quick paced manner. NO NEED FOR TEXTBOOK! ALL LECTURE NOTES!
Good teacher & person. Her lectures get long. Test are mainly examples. Most of the time they are examples used in class. I would take her again. Also, she looks a lot like Lisa Cuddy from House.
This is the worst professor I've ever had!!!! She is funny but her lecture tends to go off topic alot. Her tests are difficult becuase the outline is not helpful at all! It basically tells us to ready everything in the book.... I would not reconmmond taking her again!!!!
This woman has been through a lot, and she is well respected but her classes are not organized. There are no notes and only four exams. Pay attention to her examples and go to every class!
She is not organized at all. Tests are very difficult and a lot of what she lectures is not what is going to be on the exams. Goes off topic a lot during class. Funny lady but definitely do not recommend.
Engaging Lectures
Lisa Palumbo is an amazing teacher. Her lectures are long and you should never skip class, she gives a lot of examples and keeps the class interesting. Take notes AND read the book. Also, yes, she brought her kitty to class because she could not leave it at home, but she asked if anyone was bothered by it, not a distraction whatsoever.
I had to take this class for my major and was prepared for what I saw in bad reviews but never experienced any of what people complained about. This is a really good teacher who cares and will help you as much as you need it. Her tests make you really think hard and you have to REALLY understand the material to do well but i loved this subject.
Terrible professor. Do not take her unless you have no option. She is unorganized, all over the place, the only thing she is organized about is the student etiquette ridiculous work she makes the class test on. Only 3 test and participation points. Her study guides are useless, they pretty much say to study the entire chapter. Difficult test.
Worst professor I've had in UNO. Unorganized, confusing, difficult test. Only 3 test all semester. DO NOT TAKE HER.
She can be a little disorganized, but her lectures are great. If you pay attention in class you should be fine. Make sure you take good notes, and you won't need the book. She makes study guides for the tests that tell you exactly what you need to know. The test are mostly examples, so you really have to understand the material. Would take again!
She's nice, funny, and gives pretty good lectures. She is a little bit unorganized. In our class, there were 5 exams, extra credit opportunities, NO homework . There are study guides for the exams but the exams are knowing how to apply the concepts to examples. They are pretty hard. Going to class is a BIG DEAL. You will lose points if you skip.
there are absolutely no slides. you will be listening to her talk the entire time and will 9/10 have to write everything. she gives study guides but some of the things on the study guide will not be on the exam. so teaching yourself is a tool you need. she's very sweet and kind but she takes forever to explain EVERYTHING.
Be prepared to teach yourself through the book.
If youre a hardworking student who wants to learn MKT, find another professor. All examples provided come from personal experience and are outdated. Overwhelmingly subjective view on marketing. Poor material presentation. Will not teach you think critically. No extra credit. Class seemed more like a personal YouTube channel with no feedback.
Ms. Palumbo is the best professors I've ever had. Everything that is on the study guide and lecture are fair game for the tests. She does not spoon feed the material to you so listening to her lectures and the examples that she uses are very important.
You will have to pay to take her tests. Any professor that uses proctor U should be embarrassed. Especially during a pandemic. She is doing the absolute minimum teaching this online course. Yet, her students have to pay to take her tests? Respondus is free. Then had the nerve to email and shame the 40+ students that are probably unemployed.
I think she could be a good marketing teacher if she focuses on teaching rather than giving unfair and ridiculous examples . Idk whats her goal to say Arab men give money or presents to people so the people give something back in return and thats the Arab culture . I gave up in understanding it .
Lisa is pretty chill, but you have to put in the work. She won't just give out a passing grade, but as long as you don't wait until the last second for everything you'll do fine. She's also a cool person outside of school, so if you're having issues just reach out to her. She expects you to act like an adult.
She is a chill person sure but she does not even bother to make a study guide which is really annoying but she says whatever notes you take in class will be your study guide. Yea, no I rather my teacher actually put in the effort and help her students out. Don't even get me started on her stupid test with just a ton of examples that are pointless.
She must get kickbacks from ProctorU, the only teacher who still uses it when Respondus is free. She doesn’t do emails, you will have to join a GroupMe so prepare for random off-topic messages from classmates. These 2 things really take away from the quality of her classes for me bc she is a decent professor. Scattered but knowledgeable
I took her asynchronous online class. She has assignments due every week for each chapter on CONNECT. Her tests are proctored on CONNECT also. Just pay attention and write notes! She also gave us some extra credit, which can bring you up at least 10 pts. She NEVER reminds us about tests either, you have to remember from the syllabus.
First off, she only communicates through GroupMe and refuses to use Email. As a student enrolled in the disabilities center, getting my accommodations recognized took two months because she refuses to respond to email. Secondly, don't bother asking questions, she'll only ever refer you to the syllabus. So much more wrong with her but out of space.
She is super disorganized. Always arrived late and never knew how to use the projector. She only has 3 tests, no homework and barely any extra credit. Attendance weighs heavy upon grade. Her lectures consists of her rambling on about personated and obscene opinions that she would somehow try to relate to marketing. Could not stand her, had to drop.
I'm here to ease your nerves, it was not that bad. If I'm being totally honest, people on here who were complaining probably didn't put in that much work. This course requires a lot of time to be set aside. But my best suggestion for this course (MKT3501) DO YOUR HOMEWORK!! and READ THE TEXT!! The textbook is where her lectures derive from!!
I do not recommend taking online. Lectures are recordings of in-person sessions, making them hard to follow. Weekly homework and quizzes on Connect emphasize textbook definitions without much depth. Tests are challenging, with 50 questions proctored webcam and screen, and class averages usually around 50-60. Only plus is extra credit opportunities.
While the homework emphasizes definitions, the tests are difficult scenario questions. She does not release the test after so you won't know what you got wrong. Shes pretty aggressive over message so don',t even bother. Lectures are interesting but she doesn't stay on track so it's hard to follow and know what to study. She does extra credit though
Professor Palumbo brings marketing concepts to life with engaging humor and creative examples. Her excellent accessibility complement a teaching style focused on critical thinking rather than constant testing. Her expertise and unique instructional methods keep students invested in learning marketing fundamentals.
For MKT 3580 (online), she literally does nothing at all to teach the class. We are completely learning from an online program, there are no notes that she posts or anything. She stresses that we ask her questions only on GroupMe, and when we do, she either rudely tells you to look at the syllabus or just aggressively answers you. AVOID!
Hands down the laziest professor at UNO. Everything from HW, quizzes, and tests come from Stukent. She offers no study guides and barely any assistance. She's getting paid to answer question on groupme, and when she does, she answers you like shes mad that you even asked. Its like she expects to just kick back while Stukent does her job for her.
Don't take it in person rlly a waste of time since attendance isn't mandatory. All work is online even the tests and the final. Also when I asked a question on GroupMe she responded very rudely. She's good but barely does anything. Also won't shut up about kombucha.
