The exam is on blackboard. Open book but you have to read the book. Take her nice lady

Great class and great teacher. Lectures can be kind of long, but she keeps them entertaining. I didn't buy the book, and always went to class. Her tests are from her slideshows. Does pop quizes 5/8 count. 3 tests, online and open book. Take her!

Easy A. Online tests, attendance quizzes but only 5 count. Do not even consider buying the book, you'll never use it. Take her!

Best professor ever

Tests are really misleading n sometime she realizes later some of the questions doesn't even make sense and she drops them You have to study for it not as an open book test and go every class to take notes, and to do well on quizzes and exams you have to pay attention. If u are a management major u will learn a lot from her she is very knowledgable

3 tests and 8 pop quizzes (lowest 3 dropped). 8 am class was miserable and you have to be in class to take the pop quizzes. Tests are open book and easy if you study your notes. Wish this class was offered at a different time.

Prof McFarland is a really good professor. She is extremely knowledgeable and knows how to relay things. After some classes there are pop quizzes, but as long as you go to class you'll do fine. Exams were online and open book, a little hard but if you studied like it was a normal exam you would do fine.

She is one of the best teachers I've had. She knows what she's doing and makes class enjoyable even at 8:05am. Grade is based off of 3 tests and 5 pop quizzes which are easy. If you're in class you'll get the quizzes right and pass the class. Her notes are better than textbook. Opportunities for extra credit. Wish every class was like this one.

Professor McFarland is bubbly, energetic, and really cares about the material she teaches. Her tests are online and not very hard and you can use the book and your notes. All of her slides are posted on blackboard which is really helpful if you miss a class. There are pop quizzes but she only takes the highest 5 out of the 8 towards your grade.

There are 8 pop quizzes, of which 5 count for 25% of your grade. The tests are open book and open notes.

McFarland has very interesting lectures and shows lots of videos as well as tells many real life stories that keeps the information relevant. I enjoyed her lectures and she is nice and knowledgeable about management. Her tests are open book, but it's still a good idea to study somewhat because they are timed. Not a tough class, but I learned a lot.

Gives pop quizzes, so I suggest you go to class. She gives examples in class that are going to be on the exams or pop quizzes. You don't have to read the textbook but make sure that you thoroughly take notes so that you do well on the tests which are open note. She's really nice and offers extra credit.

Lynn is a very good professor. It is obvious that she loves teaching and she loves her topic. She is not boring to listen to and she plays music at the beginning of each class. Her test are easy, online, and open book. Attendance is not mandatory. She bases attendance on 8 pop quizzes. Only five count. Would take again.

Taking Management 371 with McFarland is one of the easiest classes you will take at USC. You have to go to class because pop quizzes are 25% of grade but the exams are open note. Take all the notes in class and write down the examples she uses, they will be on the exam. Also offers 5 points extra credit. I really enjoyed her class and personality

Her tests are online so the only difficult part is her pop quizzes but she drops the lowest three. Her lecturers are actually pretty interesting and she is a great teacher if you are willing to show up to class.

Loved the class and her. There are pop quizzes and you have to be there for all of them or else you most likely won't do well. The final was the hardest thing ever taken so beware. It's not a hard class just a hard 8:30 wake up and a bit boring.

Great professor! Pop quizzes are the only reason to go to class. Tests are take-home/online. She genuinely cares about her students and wants to see her students succeed. The material is simple and boring but she makes it interesting.

TAKE HER! She is an amazing teacher who really cares about how well you do in her class! I had the class at 8:30am and it wasn't bad at all having first thing. Quizzes help your grade you just need to pay close attention to lectures. Go to class or you will miss test questions and examples she gives. Would 100% take her again.

Professor McFarland was great. All notes posted online, all exams (including final) are online, and her attendance is random pop quizzes. There are 8 and she drops 3. Not a hard class, mainly just terms and concepts. She's super nice and will always help. Even if it's at 8:30am, take it. She offers extra credit throughout the semester.

She's an amazing human being, and while I only listened to her lectures 50% of the time they were very enjoyable. If you show up to lecture and half-way takes notes or listen, you will do fine on the 3 online exams and 8 in class pop quizzes(of which the lowest 3 are dropped). I never would have thought I would enjoy an 8:30.

Has 8 pop quizzes from where she drops 3, but as long as you go to class and listen the material is pretty easy. She makes lectures fun for an 8:30 - to the most she can - and the tests are online and as long as you write down good notes and examples it will be an easy A. She's really caring and such a cute, sweet lady. Take her!!

Lynn seems to really care about her students. She sometimes digs herself into a hole with her personal stories. Overall, she is a good teacher. You must listen in class for the examples that she uses on the tests. Don't be fooled, this class is not an easy A.

Funny professor who likes to tell hilarious personal stories. No attendance taken, but 8 pop quizzes, drops lowest 3. All 3 tests are open-book and final is NOT cumulative. However, some of the questions are a bit tricky on the tests. That being said, she allows you to contest for points if you have a valid enough argument.

honestly amazing professor, she knows what shes talking about and is very enthusiastic about what she has to say. People will say her tests are hard, however just show up to class for the pop quizzes and look over the powerpoints and you will be fine. Even if your test grades aren't that high, she will let you dispute questions to earn back points.

Lynn is so sweet and a great teacher. However, the tests are really tough. They are online and at home so you can use your notes, but you still need to study because none of the answers are online and they are not obvious/right in front of you. She gives unannounced quizzes in class and drops the 3 lowest grades and which will help boost your grade

Amazing prof! If you go to class and actually take notes and pay attention, you will pass and you will do well. Tests are take home assessments so a lot of students slack off and don't actually study or bother to listen in class, and then get ruined by the time limit on the exam. Also very approachable and helpful if you're interested in research!

Super sweet funny lady that loves management. 8 random attendance quizzes and only 5 count towards your grade. I didn't take the class seriously (bc open note exams) and nearly failed first exam. Took much more detailed notes (a lot of Qs come from in class examples) and ended up alright. No HW, just take good and organized notes.

Professor McFarland is great! She really cares about the students and the material. All the exams are online and she offers extra credit.

Professor McFarland is by far the best professor I have had this semester. She is EXTREMELY fair. Her class is 8 pop quizzes but she will drop your lowest 3. There is NO homework and you have 3 exams noncumulative including the final. Each exam is also open book/ open note too!! Take her!!!!!

I absolutely love Dr. McFarland! She is one of the best instructors I've ever had! She explains the material very well & includes many hilarious but applicable stories in her lectures! The three exams are not cumulative & are open book, and there are 8 pop quizzes (only 5 count). It's a pretty easy class and she doesn't try to trick you! Take her!!

Exam 1 is 25%, Exam 2 is 25%, Exam 3 is 25%, and pop quizzes are 25%. Doesn't take attendance but does give pop quizzes once a week online during class time, super easy can use notes on. All the tests are taken online. Some questions can be tricky but if you pay attention in class and take good notes everything she says you'll be good. Really nice

Prof. McFarland is really sweet. The first two exams are online and open note, and she gives 8 random quizzes throughout the semester but only the top 5 count. She can go on tangents about topics that don't need any extra explanation, but she gives you all the tools needed for you to succeed, and she also never gives homework. I 100% recommend her.

Her lectures are annoying and don't really help you with the tests but all the tests are online. Just make sure to study a little before them or else you won't get an A in the class. She does random pop quizzes for attendance but just go to class because once you get the 5 done that you need you can skip the rest of class.

Loved Dr. McFarland, interesting lectures and not very difficult open notes, online tests. Take her for MGMT 371

Mgmt 371 has been one of the easiest classes Ive taken in the business school. All of the tests are open note open book online, and I really never had to study too hard because I went to class. She does have pop quizzes about once a week that count up for a test grade so be sure to go to class. Solid choice for MGMT cant do much better.

No homework. All the tests are open book and note online. 8 pop quizzes during class in the semester but only 5 are counted. Keeps the class interesting with lectures.

8 random pop quizzes so you kind of have to go but you can guess when they're going to be usually. the nicest lady ever and gives online exams. you can even argue questions on exams for points back. topic and lectures are tedious and its early but i would recommend her

Really nice lady. Attendance isnt mandatory, there are just pop quizzes. 3 of them are dropped though. There are also a decent amount of extra credit opportunities

Attendance not taken, there are 8 pop quizzes but only top 5 count. The tests are online & open note, you do kind of have to study but if you know basically where everything is in each of the chapter powerpoints you should be fine. The class is pretty easy, and if you put the slightest amount of effort in you can get an A. Also gives a lot of EC.

Really nice lady and tries her best to be engaging even at 8 in the morning. I didn't love listening to her lectures personally, but her tests are open note and it is very easy to get an A

Love her! I wish I was friends with her she seems like such a kind/caring person. she uploads easy lectures and you take notes on them. Interesting/somewhat common sense material. all tests/quizzes are open note with plenty of time to complete them. Just space out the lectures and dont wait til the last min to watch them all.

McFarland is one of the nicest professors I have ever had! All tests and quizzes are open note, no homework, and her lectures are actually really interesting. She also gives a lot of random extra credit opportunities throughout the semester which is really nice. Easy A as long as you take notes and you use them tests and quizzes. Take her!!!!

Nice lady, easy class. No homework, no projects, just quizzes and exams. She likes to talk and her lectures can drag on, but the content is easy. Open note quizzes and exams. Up to 5 extra credit points on an exam. Take her.

McFarland is a great professor with a lot of hands-on management experience. She teaches not only for management in the professional world, but also personal management, which was very fun to learn.

Professor Mcfarland was one of my favorite professors at this school. Super nice and very intelligent. She shows many videos and ted talks that have taught me so much. She is a psychologist and it is a super interesting class that is made even better by her amazing lectures. I would watch them just for fun because it is such an interesting class!

The professor is interesting and clearly states everything you'll need to do well in the class. I would recommend not actually buying the textbook for mgmt 371 because I never used it once.

The class is so boring but so easy. She is a solid choice, nice and gives some extra credit.

solid class and nice professor. a quiz every other week and then like 4 exams, open note although are timed but not too hard. lecture with powerpoint slides each week and no hw.

She was great to have for an online class . Pretty straightforward . Videos and lectures every week . 3 exams and 6 quizzes which you drop lowest score . Def take if you want an online class that isnt too hard

I took this class online. Very easy, she is extremely kind and gives lots of extra credit. I did not use the book but definitely listen to her lectures and take notes. All quizzes and exams are open book and note. Take her if you can.

I took this class online and have done well so far. Your grade consists of 6 quizzes (she drops the lowest grade), and three exams. There is no homework other than reviewing power points she posts. The exams and quizzes are all open note, however you need to apply your knowledge to some questions (not on the internet). Lots of extra credit!

Not a hard class. Grades consist of chapter quizzes about every other week and 3 exams. She posts lecture videos that can be very long and boring, but just watch and take notes and you will do great on the quizzes and exams.

I took this class online. Don't buy the textbook because the answers can be found in her powerpoints and lecture videos. Quizzes and exams were easy!

Watching the lecture videos each week and being sure to take tests and quizzes on time will pretty much guarantee you a good grade. Everything you need is present or mentioned in the powerpoint lecture videos. I do not recommend buying the textbook. Overall an easy class that I would recommend you take for MGMT371.

As long as you follow along with posted materials, this class is not too bad. A lot of the knowledge is common sense which made the exams easy. There was a small amount of extra credit offered. There is not too much work other than quizzes every other week. It was definitely not the easiest online class but if you follow along you should get an A.

Professor McFarland is a good professor for this class. The exam wording is a little tricky making the exams difficult but overall I put in minimum effort and got an A. Watch the lectures but no need to read the book or take notes on the material.

Dr. McFarland was awesome! Workload was very manageable. Quizzes and tests were pretty easy. Asynch lectures could be pretty long, but she is very passionate about this subject and makes it interesting. Overall, easy A. Loved her class and would definitely take again!!

Dr. McFarland is a very kind lady that is very passionate about what she teaches; however, exams are very difficult. I studied more than I usually do for all exams and still couldn't pull my regular test scores. The short answer are graded very harshly and make up 50% of the exams. With that being said, she is very accommodating and accessible.

Prof. Mcfarland loves her topic and cares about her students! Her lectures are pretty interactive and helps you stay focused. Not a lot of assignments and exams are pretty straight forward. She also gives amazing feedback and is really quick to respond to emails and help students.

Dr. McFarland is one of the best professors I've had at USC. She's funny and her lectures are engaging, and we play Kahoot after every couple units. Even though I wasn't interested in the material, I still looked forward to going to class. The class is also super easy as long as you take notes and review before tests. I would recommend her 100%.

She's an amazing professor that brings life to what could easily be a silent class. Even though the material alone doesn't last a class period, she encourages discussion to bring up examples you can and should use on exam short answer questions. Her tangents always circle back to being directly relevant to the material, and she brings life to DMSB!

She's very nice but she's not the professor for me. The exams were easy if you studied a little bit (mostly memorization). The group project seemed unnecessary and was a pain. Overall, not a bad class you just have to show up and do the occasional participation activities.

I really liked her as a lecturer and she gave good insights on all the topics that she taught. She gave pop quizzes from time to time but they were pretty straightforward as long as you paid attention. I would recommend her!

Prof. McFarland is a great teacher and super sweet, it's a boring class and it sometimes feels like she's talking forever, but there is no homework and the quizzes are super easy for it being 25% of the grade. it's a straightforward class and she doesn't give any extra work outside of class.

Prof. McFarland is a great lady. She is so sweet and giggly. I really enjoyed her lectures, and she gave lots of real life examples which made the class not boring. Attendance is not required but she does do pop quizzes which are worth 25% of your grade, but there are very easy and they're on the content learned during the same lecture.

Super easy class, most of it is common sense. Very sweet lady but she can yap at times. Would definitely take her

Class is pretty easy. She does pop-quizzes for attendance, but they always were pretty easy. The exams also are exactly like the lectures and are easy. Probably the best professor for this class.

8 pop quizzes, but your lowest 3 are dropped. Very test heavy, but no homework and LOTS of extra credit. Very knowledgeable in her field and enjoys what she teaches, highly recommend taking her.

Easy class- 8 quizzes but only takes the top 5 for your grade. 3 exams, no final. Very lecture heavy and boring, but she posts the notes and there's no homework. Her voice is very high pitched and irritating, but she means well and gives a lot of extra credit

shes really great and she will explicitly tell you what is on the tests and quizzes. she provides a lot of opportunity for extra credit. you have to try really hard to not do well in the class. she shares her presentations which is great for studying. go to class and take notes-- you'll be fine. management as a subject itself is just hard to enjoy

Dr. McFarland was great, I found the lectures to be interesting because she has a sense of humor and related lots of the topics to her personal experience. She tells you during the lectures what will be on exams so as long as you show up and spend a day or so studying you'll do good.

Her tests were easy and she is genuinely fun to listen to. there were three tests (final is not cumulative) and she took your five highest grades from 8 unannounced pop quizzes which were easy if you briefly read over the lectures powerpoint slides

RECCOMEND! Loved her she was so positive and cared a lot. The one thing is that attendance is not required but you have random pop quizzes so you pretty much have to go each time. This class wasn't hard but was a lot of info. Also, sometimes the quizzes would mostly be on stuff we learned just that class so it was hard to get A's on most of them.

She handled a large lecture hall well and was engaging, especially for more introductory content. There were 8 pop quizzes that were easy to do well on if you paid attention in class, and were mainly an attendance check. The course grade was based on three exams and the pop quizzes, but the exams were fair and aligned closely with the lectures.
