She wants to be your friend..not your teacher. I find her completely discouraging. She didn't explain how to do the tool summary well, so we all got bad grades and so she just dropped the grade. Some of the class was relieved, but others wanted to fix what their mistakes. She said don't bother. She says said that there ARE dumb questions.

I thought that she was not clear or helpful to my group. I didn't learn a thing in this class. she just used all of zafar's stuff. you can tell she was a slacker in school, but what confuses me is how the H#!! did she get a PhD? If you don't want to learn anything then take her.I know zafar is probably harder, but you'll actually learn in his class

She is such a good teacher my only regret was taking the 8:30am class b/c I would always be late or didnt show up but still got a B+! She does put her own work expierence into her lectures and can carry on a conversation for a long period of time. Workload is 3 tests and one major project with presentation. Overall not bad at all!

She says everything twice if its on the test. They are not amazingly easy, but pretty easy. The grading scale is tough with a 95 being an A, but its attainable.

She isnt bad, but she doesnt tell you everything thats going to be on the test like she says she will. Also, she is lazy.. she doesnt create her own tests or powerpoint slides, she uses everything that the author made from the teachers edition book. Her tests get harder as the course goes on. 3 Tests and one huge project, not too bad.

I would not recommend her for this class. She's nice, but class was boring, dull, not challenging, and a waste of my time. Class would usually only last 30-40 minutes and she cancelled a lot. Homework assignments are a joke. She is unclear about the final project and is lazy in general. I felt like she wasted my time and money.

EXTREMELY easy A. She literally repeats what will be on the midterm or final by saying it twice. Classes often ended early, I didn't mind.

She isn't very responsive to your questions via email. Taking her online was a mistake. She certainly is not clear to cover what the full assignment is as she marks certain sections to do and then informs you after that the ones not marked are to do in their entirety. You will do essentially a traditional full class project every 2 days with exams.

She is vague, and unprofessional. She should not be teaching at a college level. Take her if you like VERY simple assignments, but expects you to know what she chooses not to teach. She will not enhance your learning AT ALL, and if you do more work than necessary you will be deducted for it. If you're a A-type student this class will dumb you down.

Grade is based on 4 factors. 2 exams(MC) , 1 essay about your strengths and weakness and the final marketing plan at 45% of course grade. Does not grade too hard on the final.
