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.

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.

(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.

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.

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!
