She is good, very easy but not really learn a lot of thing in this class because she skit a lot of chapters in the book. And she spend a lot of time to do the interview assignment.
easy A. she's an excellent teacher that won't waste your time with any busywork.
Her online course is lame. She never responds to e-mails and she forces you to discuss private issues on the public discussion board. Hopefully BMCC will replace her as the online course teacher.
She an okay professor, an easy A if you just do the things she ask for. Don't worry her things are easy enough to do without breaking a sweat. No much homework but you must do certain projects to ace her class, like the presentation on business related.
Very sweet lady. I'll raccomend her to everybody. Easy A
She was one of the best professors i've ever hard in terms of making sure that a student learns the stuff that they should before the end of the course.
If you do what she requests, follow her way of learning, concentrate in her class, I can ensure that you'll get an A in this course.
Forget the material; she pretty!!!! and a nice, professional professor!!
She was a great professor and I found her class to be one of the most fun and the easiest classes I've ever taken. She's very easy going and also very nice. This class is a guaranteed A! I highly recommend her! (I took this class online by the way)
Took her for an online Business Communications course. Easy A. Make sure you log on often, participate in the discussion board, and hand in her one-page assignments on time and you will be fine. Midterm and Final are easy. She makes business communication fun.
is an easy A as long as you do what she asks for her test as challenging enough great teacher.
I am taking her class and extremely happy with the classes.She teachs you how to study for college exams, after that you will understand how to do your job.With this class I learned how to handle my other classes too.She is very helpful.Higley recommended.
A nice woman, not demanding, tests are not hard, but you have to do 2 presentations in her class, but that's fine .. Easy A.
Her class is straight forward and she tells you everything you need to know to pass with a high grade. She does not do anything unecpected
My first semester and the best professor in the world. A really easy A. And she gives at least 7 or 8 opportunities to get an extra 5 points like writing a essay. or attending the job fair at the school. And if your getting an A you don't have to take the final. the best professor and she's knows her topics. Pretty and nice i luv her! take her clas
SHe is Great
she is good, but she has a superior complex. she thinks she knows everything. not bad.
Dr. Padula, was one of many great Professors at BMCC. She is very clear, helpful.. Her course is fun and very knowledgeable.. if you fail her class you simlpy did not study!!!!
just take this class. She's the best. Easy A in this class. one thing u have 2 give a report..but its a piece of cake. Also always read the textbook..there r no trick question....
Prof. Padula is great!! She is straight forward and to the point..She's easy as long as you do her work..She gives alot of quizes and exams but she tells you exactly what it's going to be on so as long as you study..it's a breeze..I can't stress enough how much extra credit points you can earn in her class..
not good for international students. speaks very fast, i dropped her class, cause she said that she couldn't do anything that i don't understand her accent. her appearance is bad, almost shocking.
SHE IS ONE OF THE BEST PROFESSORS!!!
She is really nice !!! Also she is very good in what she does ...TEACHING!!!
excellent teacher
She enjoy teaching and because of that sometimes you may feel like in a kindergarden, but her lectures are overall interesting. She is very helpfull understand all student problems, if she can she will help you.
excellent teacher...will recommend her..easy to pass
She is a really nice professor ,she understand you and help you when you need it , she really likes teach and know how to teach you. Thank you Professor
One of the best teachers in BMCC.

She is very nice teacher. Her tests are very easy. She is very helpful, I wish all my Professor was like her.
Prof. Padula is one of the best professors I have had thus far. She is funny. She is very relaxed and friendly. I took her online class and found it eye opening. She a great lady. I highly recommend her.
I love prof. Padula!!! Take her !!!! She is so lovely<33 Best teacher ever!! xOxO pROF.Padula:)
Easyyyy A u wanna boost up ur gpa i highly recomend her...jus go to classs n get her extrapoints ....she is one of the besttttt....no hw for this class and test ar easy
Dr Padula is a such sweetheart. She helps you out a lot. Everybody can get an easy A in her clases. Two presentations, ouline each chapter and that all. She gives you points for every single thing you say in class. She is wonderful..
Great Professor as far as I remember
The best professor so far and I don't think is someone better than her. You guys out there take her that's all I have to say.
well she was absent a lot even on test days and presentations. She was also late about 10 minutes to almost every class the whole semester. But if you were late you weren't aloud to make up the quizzes she gave. I guess if you want an easy A you should take the class but shes not a good professor overall.

Ok Guys !! This is the deal. She is an average professor. She is not hard. She gave the class a lot of extra points for participating. The only thing that might be on the negative side is the fact that you have to make a presentation in front of a class of like 40 to 60 students. But it is easier than you think. I believe is an easy A.
she is the best professer at the BMCC. you will love and like her class
Easy "A" class must take highly recommended
Easy A class Highly recommend to take her class
excelent professor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This class was easy but I feel I really waste my time and money. we did about 7 chapters out of 20 chapters that we supposed to cover. I did not learn anything. It is really a waste.
One of the best professor in BMCC! her business class is very inspiring, easy and most importantly; fun! My business is thriving because of her course. Thank You Dr.Padula!
Padula's style of teaching should be the standard. Easy A yes, but she makes sure you understand the lessons by requiring an outline of each chapter. Participate in class! It will boost your grade. Tests are multiple choice only. Excellent teacher.
Dr Padula is really a very nice professor. She gives a lot of chances to make up the works a student miss because of the absence or other reason. Do the few homeworks and presentations in the class that she gives and earn an easy A. And have good class partictipation too to get an A. Higly Recommended! take this professor's class.
she is nice and her class is easy to get A if you pay attention, because she give you many chances to get the extra credits, there are about 3 texts in her class, if you read the book, you could be fine. even though your grade of the test is low, you still could use the extra credits to improve your final grade. one speech, it is easy, don't worry
Dr. Padula is a wonderful professor with a big heart and in today's society they're a few people like her left. She is very forward and clear with her teaching method, basicaly she knows her stuff. Inorder to get an A do all your assignments,get on top of your presentation and don't delay and participate in class you'll get extra credit.
Doctor Padula has made a big impact in my life. Seriously, I have never met someone as amazing as her. She makes sure we understand business, but not ONLY understand business but understand it in a FUN REALISTIC way. She's the best, the bestest to be exact.
She is the best! I love her.
SHES the best! she will always be there for you!
Great teacher who really cares. She will probe you a little to get insightful thought provoking answers that will end up being beneficial to you. All quizzes and 2/3 of tests are online. ALL HWK IS EXTRA CREDIT. Very easy A. Very understanding and helps you in your outside problems as well
Good teacher, maybe a little to easy for some people, but she gets the point across for what the class is and does a great job of getting you to remember the work. Projects aren't hard at all.
SHE IS SUPERRRR EASY ! THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON FOR ANYONE TO FAIL THIS CLASS. SHE IS A VERY ADMIRABLE PERSON AND SHE GIVE CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS ON WHAT SHE EXPECTS. THIS CLASS WAS VERY VERY EASY! I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND HER
She is the best professor ever ! I love her so much. Easy class to pass , just do your work!
Excellent professor.
she izzz so cute nd so ezzzz prof..love her.if ur looking for essay prof so take her.she iz awesome.....
Great person and great professor! If it's WI class, just do your writing and get an A!
Great teacher! Study with computer!! You will do well !! Very knowledgeable and professional, really enjoyed her class, thank u Professor ;))
Easy A if you do all the hmw's . She is the best of DR's ! Makes class lively and entertaining. Take her !!
Mary Padula is such a sweetheart. She is the best professor in the Business Department. She explains the materials thoroughly and opens the floor to any questions that the student may have. I would highly recommend others to take her class.
bestttttt professor ever... love her
Professor Padula is a very sweet and compassionate lady. Her class was one of my easiest and most less stressful. She makes class time fun and lively. The only thing is the book she assigned was barely used and she made us buy it ($114). I was pretty upset about that but just show up, do the hws, and you'll easily pass! Def recommended
Best professor ever! I thought I was going to fail because I was absent a lot and I didn't do the last project but all my test were high so I got and A. She's a sweetheart and amazing.
She's such a sweetheart, Very professional and makes class very lively.. I highly recommend anyone to take her for BUS classes
She's an amazing professor. She's really engaged with the class. Always makes the class very interesting. Just complete all her assignments it's an easy A. Always bring index cards.
Nothing to say that hasn't already been said. Do yourself the favor of taking her class. There is so much to learn from Professor Padula herself, she is truly one of the best of the best at BMCC.
There's not much for me to say about her either, except she is sweet and one of the best. All we have to do is complete a few homework assignments and do a couple of presentations-Both business-related. It's easy. Tests are easy too. I wish there were more professors like her at BMCC.
She is one of the nicest professors at BMCC. This class was a breeze, and to make it even better she discuss the paper in class a week before the exam which makes it very easy. If you fail this class it is definitely your fault.
While I can say she is definitely easy, she has her moments of pure rudeness. She's condescending, and maybe other students don't notice because they're young? Or they need to be treated like that to understand? I don't know. Easy A, but she's a -----. But who cares as long as you get an A, right? lol
Exceptional professor, a role model figure. Very successful and knowledgeable. Definitely the professor you'd want to take if you'd like to own a business one day. So incredibly inspirational, the book is a necessity for this class. Attendance is crucial for this class.
I had her weekly. I'd STRONGLY recommend that option. Every week a paper was assigned and was to be presented to class the following week. In doing so, that was an easy 100. Do the math. About 15 weeks. 15 100's. Tests and quizzes are online. PLENTY of extra credit. Can't wait to take her again for BUS150.
Definitely not recommending her to any student. She disappears for most of the class and she assigned the actual textbook on the last week of class and threw 24 assignments during the last week. She is very rude and not helpful at all. Choosing her is a big no no. There are many other good professors teaching the course.
A lot of presentations through all semester, but I believed she will give everybody an A if you present. I mean, she may be an easy A but I do not learn anything from her because we all doing the presentation like a speech class. She just talk couple minutes about the course before the class end. 3 exams, a interview presentation in the end.
Ok, so if you want an easy A take this class. Every week we had to present either an article or even a youtube video and received full credit. All tests were online and no lectures. Basically if your looking to learn business DON'T TAKE THIS COURSE. I now know nothing. She briefly discusses some things 5 mins before class ends. Sweet woman though.
I've grown and learned so much from taking this class. I am highly interested in taking more classes in business. The assignments really affected my outside life for the better. I also learned how to do my first power point. awesome class.
She's nice some of the time but other times she's kind of rude & if a bit nosy. Course was an easy A but, overall, I didn't really learn much because there were no lectures & the assignments were kind of odd. There are some homework, online tests, and 2 presentations (one of them is group work) you have to do but they're all a breeze.
It seem some people didnt like Dr. Padula's teaching style but I for did and clearly understood what it was. Your grade was either yours to get or yours to lose. I like her a lot and planning to take her again. I think she is a great professor and we all should be so lucky to have her
If you want an useful lecture, I recommend you to not to take this, but for easy A, definitely take this class. Mostly, she ask you to do bit of homework which barely takes 5 minutes. But trust me, if you do what she ask you to do before deadline you'll get A no matter what happens
She's an easy A I didn't learn much in her class. Most of my class didn't remember to do their assignments. If your lazy take this class you'll do well. You have to do a lot of presentations but they're simple and most of the homework is online.
Amazing, caring human being. Adore her!
I loved Dr. Padula, She might make some students feel uncomfortable with her bluntness, but ALL she wants is for you to get an A, She is a caring amazing professor
I love Professor Padula. She has been at BMCC over 39 years, so she knew how to care her students and gave valuable advice for student future major, college, or career pursuit. Also, the class was not hard. There are some online assignments and quizzes, and three presentations (do it and pass). By the way, participation matters, and don't be late.
She is so sweet she can be hard on you when needed but it's tough love. Lots of charisma she gives self reflected personality assignments as essays and 2 presentations one you do alone the other is group. Show up do the work you will get a good grade. Class meets once a week she was my favorite she cares for her students.
She is a very nice person. But, she is too personal. I do not need to share everything about my life with you. Just be a professor and do not tell me what I need to do WITH MY PERSONAL life. Just teach and mentor without judgement. She also needs to know what life is really like in NYC. She takes lateness way too serious. Good professor though.
Dr. Padula is one of them who inspires you in life. Shes a sweetheart n always there to help her student. Her teaching style is highly appreciated, grade comes naturally. She is a real gem. I already graduated but want to thank her for being such a inspiration. Thank you Dr. Padula for everything, for being such a wonderful person.
Grate!!!! I can't ask for a better professor
AMAZING!! She's HILARIOUS and so sweet ! Loved her class! I wish i could take her again. 10 out of 10
shes a sweetheart and care a lot about her students. The homework arent hard at all just do your best and make sure you do all the work assigned. Avoid being late. Clsss is really interesting, with many exciting presentations. Hope you will enjoy her class as much as I did. I give her a 100%. Ps: Get yourself index card !!!
Needs to learn how to talk to students repectfully
Prof. Padula is awesome. You'll enjoy the class as long as you show up and participate. Alot of projects to do in the class but they help you in the long run of you life. Very reflective
Mary Padula is a kind, caring professor. She tries to help her students and gives good advice about resumes and job websites. Ms. Padula wants everyone to do well in her class. I highly recommend her. Take this class, and you won't regret it.
Prof Padula is possibly the easiest BUS professor out there. She gives online homework which is due weekly. (If you're smart then you could find the answers online). If I am being totally honest, she's slightly disrespectful at times. But, in my classes, she helped students out with different classes and personality type tests. It was enjoyable!
This is my first semester, but this feels like the easiest course I will ever take already. Just show up, do the online quizzes (which are take-home quizzes by the way), and do the presentations and you will get an A. I'm not done with her course yet, but my mid-term grade is an A. She's extremely caring & smart, but her class feels too easy.
Easiest class I've taken. Textbook and tests are through online program, it basically gives you the answers. I love her as a person & she loved me, however she has favorites for sure. We had pop quizzes only because our class "didn't behave." 4 short presentations including a business interview. She wants to help you with your future career. Easy A
My first semester of college and she was honestly the most caring professor ever. Take her I gurantee you will definitely not regret it! All the homework and quizzes are done online at home and they are super easy as long as you read the textbook. All in all she is genuinely an amazing professor that actually cares about her students.
Prof Padula makes her classes extremely easy. But, she is very rude and disrespectful towards students who just want to have fun. A student and good friend of mine did basically all of her work, basically getting straight A's all semester. But received a B+ for just being him during the class and apparently she didn't like that.
She is the best professor ever. She cares about her students and she teaches her students not only for college purposes, but to educate them. she is very respectful and polite when dealing with her students. She understands that some students may have some difficulties and she always supports them. TO PASS HER CLASS JUST DO WHAT SHE ASKS YOU TO DO
Great prof. She really cares about you and ur gpa, class attendance is mandatory, and you have to give presentations in the class- YES, if you are not a talkative person, then this class is not for u. she'll make you talk to your classmates and you'll be working in a team. There are online tests-based on ur textbook(No tricky Ques). TAKE HER,EASY A
Love her and her way of teaching!!! and how she get to her students, very caring and nice. most get ready to read and to do presentations and learn more about business. if you follows her and all of her rules and do your work it should be an easy A.
(Spring 2020) Professor Padula was an excellent teacher during my semester, the majority of our work was on Parsons (online hw site) and Facebook (extra credit, check-in stuff). I had a lot of fun in this class, the content was easy, and Professor Padula was available for any questions regarding homework, extra credit, and our future classes.
An inspirational professor who really cares for her student's success. Aside from teaching us what we need to pass the class, she will provide you tips on how to be successful in life. She gave us easy quizzes every week and a career essay assignment which counted as our final. She is very supportive, I would recommend her to any students.
Professor Mary Padula is one of the most inspirational teachers I have had at BMCC. She teaches at a level where she inspires you to want success. In this class I have learned a lot and also was able to rethink and structure my future career. I would take her class over and over again.
Shes very caring and passionate but if youre a lazy person and youre not willing to commit yourself to getting the work done dont take this class its not for you because its a lot of work and its not easy you have to work for your grade (:
Took her class online for spring 2022. Lectures arent too heavy but she does give a lot of homework barely any discussion post. Easy A for her class
She always responded, especially in the beginning when I was having trouble with the textbook. I loved having her and as long as you do the work on time, you should have no problem. She gave assignments weeks in advance so you always have plenty of time. She would even engage in the discussion boards prompting you to think about your career goals.
Class was very easy. She was very accessible outside of class. She answers very quickly. Assignments weren't difficult. I would take another course with her if available.
The course material was very informative and detailed, which is why I consider her one of my favorite professors. I highly recommend taking her class.
Had a blast learning the fundamentals of business. The professor was attentive. It was a great experiance. Would recommend to anyone seeking a business associates degree.
This teacher's online class is amazing. She provides helpful examples to make the topics easier to understand and is always accessible to answer any inquiries. She was interested to know the skills and potential careers of her students, which was helpful for me. She is highly recommended for anyone considering taking classes with her.
EASY A!! I took an asynchronous class, she gave a lot of extra credits dbs, do the work by due dates and you'll be fine. She answers emails when you have questions. She has a overall wonderful positive energy. I enjoyed her sense humor. Class was very easy. I had to pay $50 for McGraw thats it. You can search most answers up on quizlets. Take her!
WONDERFUL WONDERFULLY PROFESSOR CLASS IS SOOOOO EASYYYY IT ALL ON MCGRAW HILL THAT YOU PAY $54 FOR WHICH IS AFTER TAX THE TEACHER IS SUPER GREAT LOTS OF EXTRA EASY GRADES SHE GIVES FOR SUPER DUPER EASY ASSIGNMENTS.... IT IMPOSSIBLE TO FAIL UNLESS YOU'RE THE IMPOSSIBLE HERE.
Professor Padula is a caring and experienced professional in the Business field. The course structure/grading criteria is clear and concise. Assigned textbook is on Connect and several discussion boards will be given. Be sure to do your work and take advantage of any extra credit provided. 10/10 Highly recommend!!
Dr. Padula is caring, answers emails quickly, and doesn't mind chatting on the phone. She's helped me with things outside of the classroom and advised me on which courses I should take next. Her class is fairly easy, but she does not accept late work—don't even ask. However, she also doesn't give a lot of work either. I highly recommend taking her
Dr. Paula is a gem in the business department. Her grading criteria is very simple, one assignment due on Wednesday and the other due on Sunday. Just need to purchase the McGraw hill book to complete the assignments. Her discussion boards will teach you new things about yourself, and help you find your dream career. Overall inspirational and easy!
Professor Padula's online class is a breeze! Engaging lectures, super helpful feedback, and easy assignments. Unstuckstudy was a game-changer for prepping. Definitely one of the best classes I've taken!
Professor Padula was amazing, she was always positive giving us extra credits. You have to buy the ebook and that book helped me a lot. I totally recommend her. You just have to do all her activities, don't miss one and you will get your A.
I took her online course. It was amazing!! The assignments that she gave us were straightforward and clear. I could do all of them even if I work for 4 days a week.
I took her asynchronous class and I'd recommend her for her Introduction to Business class! Straightforward assignments and easy to pass. She used Mcgrawhill if anyones curious where she assigns her work.
