new teacher, very laidback about attendance and class demeanor, class is real easy if you give a little effort.
No Comments
AWESOME TEACHER!!!! take her if you can! Very easy just show up to class and she'll love you. Very understanding, wants everyone to get A's!!!!
the class is an absolute joke!!! it is a 10 classes b/c its a night class and out of the 10 classes...i attended only 3 classes (the first night, midterm, & final). she is cool as hell and a must have to boost your GPA!!
This is the best prof ever!! Very COOL!!!
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.
loves her students. treats you like a friend, class was fun to come to every week. crucial to get a good group for the project. a lot of people did bad on one of the papers, so she didn't count it unless you wanted it to count. great, cool, chill prof.
She is aswome..def take her. Extremely helpful and make things very clear and easy. She makes the subject very easy and clear. She is def cool.
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 a slacker. Unavailable outside of class, uses Zafar's Notes, unclear directions, horrible. Does she even have a PHD?!?!
She was awesome. I learned a lot. Anyone who gave her a bad rating should go back to high school for a few years.
Absolutely loved it. It was not hard, yet I still learned some important information. Yes she uses some of Zafar's information, but it is good info. She is easy, laid back, informative and is easy to get a hold of. Emails back and can call in the middle of the night. A few easy assignments-follow the slides, take home final, group project-easy
made class fun and interesting! uses same materials as other prof and tells class up front. loves students but will not bend on grades...
Very cool professor. Extremely helpful and is there to help the students. She does not try to be a hot shot and try to confuse the students with extensive vocabulary. Instead, she explains things in a clear and understandable manner. Definitely recommended!
VERMILLION, I LOVE YOU! On a more serious note, she is an excellent prof. She makes Marketing unbelievably interesting. If you put effort into the class, you'll be fine. You will learn a lot. She has a great personality and tells stories that make Marketing relatable and fun!!!
Very fun....very interestesting class..The only complaint I have is that she tells you she'll give you all the answers to the test..but that doesn't exactly happen. You still MUST study..if you rely on the 25 simple things she gives you..you'll do average on the test..
A wonderful, down-to-earth professor with alot of experience that she loves to share with her students. You won't really need the book, study your notes, pay attention in class and you'll do fine. Take 315 with her too!!
Some people said that she uses Zafar's notes and that she is lazy, but shes not. She teaches well.
Not as easy of an A as she says. Does not incorporate test questions into lecture like she says. She says if you listen to the points that she repeats and take those notes you will have the test answers. Last test I only had 12 things she said twice of 25 Questions.
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! TAKE HER! :D
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. Do a good job on the project and dont slack and you'll do good. She even checks every step of it if you ask her. Fun class and interesting stuff.
She is a knowledgeable professor. Take this teacher if you want to hear real life stories... but be careful who you choose for your group! It makes up most of your grade.
3 tests and one major project, sounds simpler than it is because she says shell repeat the answers to the test twice during lectures, but it seems like she only announced 15 of the 25 test questions.
Easy. nice. Clear in explanation. Skips a lot of things to do. Does not like to keep things boring, and that makes this class soo much fun.
This teacher just keeps getting better. I have had her for three classes and she really listens to student feedback. She is very laid back but don't let it fool you - she is SMART! SHe wants students to learn and she has a passion for marketing and life in general. SHe gives students the real story about jobs and real world.
Awsome lady, a must take. Didnt waste too much time lecturing, majority was work in groups on project. 3 tests, she gives helpful hints for whats on them, mildly challenging. book is useless unless youre a MKT major. Great personal and real life stories!
She makes the class fun! Tries to use real life experiences to explain theory.
Cool fun class. Dr Gail met with my group late night after work and scxhool to help. none of my other profs did that...
Take her for only one reason, to get a good grade. However, if you want to learn don't. All she does is talk about her family and her car.
I would highly recommend this teacher.. only 3 tests and she gives the study guide. I just studied from the study guide and got As in all my test.. She is available for help after class as well.. Very fun and wants her students to do well in class..
I took her for two classes, as long as you do the work you will get an A, she tells you exactly what is on the test so there is no surprises, makes the class fun and uses her and real life examples, does not make you stay the entire class as long as she covers what's scheduled for that day...Love Her!
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.
Great easy going teacher...always willing to help her students. 3 test and one big final project (a lot of work but it's fun). She repeats everything that will be on the test twice, so even though attendance is not mandatory make sure you come to class. Makes the class pretty interesting, definately recommended!!
Great Professor. having this class made my life very easy. she teached in a fun way and the class overall was interesting. If this professor was teaching another class I would definately take it. be laid back and enjoy.
Awesome - very hot!
good real world
love her. she tells you everything thats on the midterm/final. she's awesome!
She's the real deal. If you want someone to make your life as complicated as possible,look elsewhere. If you want someone who only gives you relevant information and real world experiences, she's your girl. Take her!
Professor Vermillion's class is very TO THE POINT. Just so everyone knows, she is the easy teacher to take for mkt 315. Plus... her final is take-home. No midterm.
5 all the way.
She is the best teacher ever. You don't need the book. Grade is: midterm, final, and paper. Make sure you pay attention in class it pays off in the end. Highly recommended.
Dr V is a great teacher. I took her for 310 and 301 and I loved her. ALWAYS lets you out early for night class (highly recommended). Grade consists of a midterm, final, and paper. She literally tells you whats on the exams so make sure to go to class. Paper was a breeze, started it the night before it was due and got 100%. DEF TAKE DR V!!!!!!
Awesome professor! She tells you everything that will be on the midterm and final. The paper was very easy, and I think everyone that turned it in on time got 100%. I took the night class and we were out very early every night. Take her!!!
Take her!! She is a good prof fun to listen to her lectures will get real life perspective on marketing an business world. Couple of exams and assignments and a group project should be able to handle the workload otherwise your are not even trying!!
Take Her. Simple as that. You never stay the full time in class, she tells you the exact information that will be on the two tests, and she barely reads your final paper and gives everyone 150/150 A+ as long as the paper is written in english. You WILL learn too. She is a must-take and worth waiting for.
I've taken her for both my marketing classes. very nice lady, very helpful. grading is fairly easy as long as you put in even a little bit of work. does tend to digress during lectures, but it never bothered me. take her for night class if you can - she won't ever keep for you for the full 3 hours.
Exams are not extremely easy but not difficult if you pay attention and write down everything she says that will be on it. Final paper very easy no research involved just about you basically. Very nice, helpful, would take again.
Just Don't take her.
she is ok!
If you really want to learn something dont take her. You will regret taking her because she doesnt teach anything so you have to study on your own. Especially, marketing major people dont take her. "I regret taking her."
dont take her u will have to go to class & listen to her boring lecture every day its mendatory. u dont learn anything she is so boring.......
I would not recommend taking her if you want to learn something. Pretty easy class, with pointless project at the end. DO NOT BUY THE TEXT BOOK!! I'm someone who always buys the text books and I did for this class because she said 98% of her test questions would come from the book, but her slides go over everything you need.
A lot of pointless work in this class. I know she means well but her teaching style isn't very effective. Grading: 2 exams of 20% each, sell yourself assignment (answer interview questions) 15%, final project 45%.
Dr V is an excellent teacher. She uses real world examples and wants all of her students to do well. She met our group after class several times to help. She does have group projects - which I HATE- but she always gives class time to work on project. Most students just leave - big mistake!
Dr V easy A. mkt majors DO NOT take her, will not learn! DPU = challenging school,so b challenged Tells pointless stories Does not appreciate hard work, fnl proj= WASTE. copy friends paper change words around gained her career oppurtunity by chance favoritism towards softball players, writes ANY student a recommendation takes no personal interest
In order to do well, you must attend her class or have a great friend with great notes. Tests are easy if you go to class. Great Review and she is VERY to the point about what you'll be tested on. She's wonderful and I would highly recommend her.
cares about students learning more than just academics. great teacher
You people who did not like her class must not be paying attention. Her stories are always to either get your attention or use real world example to explain concept. Gtreat prof - obviously loves teaching and her excitment is catching
Dude - you gotta be kidding me. Marketing majors should take Dr V. You say "copy friends papers and change words" then have the nerve to say " I didn't learn anything." No kidding moron. Dr V great teacher and wants students to learn. Take her
great prof - learned tons - tests harder than what I was told...ask her for help if you get bad grade - she will work with you
take her great class - talks about real life
fun class - fun teacher. easy when go to class and read chapters
Fun class, easy if you go to class and study the notes - just read through text and you should get an A
good prof. do what she says and ask questions if you don't understand!
Mary gives an insane amount of work.. I had her for mkt 301 and she was an easy A.. She is completely different for MKT 310. It all of the class got c's and low B's. A is impossible.. ( as she says: A's are for those who work in the field) WTF is that????
IMPOSSIBLE... REALLY EASY FOR MKT 301, but MKT 310, she is completely different.. Didnt give out any A's
IMPOSSIBLE.. easy for MKTG 301 but doesnt give out any A's for MKTG310.. WTF is that!!
Do not take her... all of my friends had Koernig and they did one tenth of the amount of work that we did.. she does not curve and she will pentalize your grade highly for missed atendance
I agree with all of the comments below.. she is a very tough teacher.. I didnt have her for MKT301, but I am a marketing major and I got a -B.. I would suggest taking someone else
this teacher is very very tough, she doesn't curve any grades, and i would def reccomment another one. Dammn it pissed me off to have her
MARY SUCKS, AND DOES NOT CURVE ANYTHING AT ALL. SHE ONLY BELIEVES A'S ARE FOR PEOPLE ALREADY WORKING FOR THE INDUSTRY. ONE TOUGH COOKIE. IM CURRENTLY IN THIS CLASS, AND STRUGGLING REALLY BAD. GEEZ O'KEEFE WOULD HAVE BEEN WAY EASIER I'VE BEEN HEARING FROM MY FRIENDS
if you want to bust your balls every week, take mary's class. I've studied so many nights for her tests, and yet nothing she teaches is ever set in stone.
could have been better. She looks easier that she looks, but she isn't. not at all.
no.....trust me dont take her... not easy
She is very difficult and rarely gives A's. She breezes through material, and rarely refers to the text book. The exams are subjective, and you dont know what to study for- like a shot in the dark.
.................. ;(
I'd take someone else. Shes not impossible but its very hard to get an A
She is organized and helpful but grades really hard...
Tough grader...really have to work for an average grade. Not worth it. I lost interest in marketing after taking Vermillion.
She is kinda hard but she'll pass anybody.. I had a 68% and she passed me ;)with a -C
I love this woman, she may be a hard grader at times but you need to put in the work, and if you don't then what do you expect. Dr. V is very helpful and has a true passion for what she does. Take her!
Doesnt teach. Tells stories all class and skips over slides. Exams are random. Plus shes just... off.
Dr.V is LAZY. She even admits it over and over again. She skips over half the chapter, yet still puts it in the test so READ THE BOOK or completely avoid her. not worth the effort.
She is stealing our money! She canceled 3 classes. Only teaches a hour each class. Fly's through and skips slides. Doesn't really TEACH, she just tells stories. She takes off a lot of points for not following every single unclear guideline. Worst thing is, she makes you think she is teaching you everything you need to know. Not recommending her.
Dr. V! I really like her a lot. Has a lot of real world experience and talks a lot about it. Pointedly highlights everything on exams during class. Great personality. End group project felt vague, but we got a good grade. I felt cared for as an individual. First day of class she'd already memorized everyone's names and literally named all 30 of us.
Her tests were not really based off the slides. They are EXTREMELY difficult. She barely explains or goes over the slides. I thought her class was a complete waste of my time. The group project is BS! I got a B- in the class but totally deserved at least a B/B+/A-!!!!!! RIDICULOUS!
Fair teacher. Expects you to do more than just regurgitate material - critical thinking and reading text a must. Not an easy A.
What class were you people in saying it was hard? She gave everything on exams in class. She met with my group on a saturday afternoon. Exams graded and posted within two hours after class. Projects graded and final grades posted before end of session - that is NOT lazy!! She is best prof I have had as far as willingness to work or help students!
I got cheated! I was in 301 and three of my classes weren't cancelled...We did have group work days where most people blew off class. Of course coming to group days helped m,e get an A. Dr V rocks!
she is great
makes class fun!
Fun interesting class
Seems easy in the beginging but laters screws you over.. take Geva instead... way easier
I hate marketing but she makes it actually interesting! Plus she always lets you out early!!! Great teacher and her stories are priceless!
She is very nice lady and easy. She doesn't care which edition book you buy, i used 3rd ed. She leaves us early.
AWESOME professor! She lets students leave like 45 minutes early, and there is no "class" on the first day; she just hands out the syllabus and off you go! She is hilarious. She always talks about her nieces and nephews...hope she was my aunt.
Really interesting teacher. Makes content relatable with her vast real world experience. She made no effort to learn students names and seemed to prefer boy students over girls. When I asked her for one on one help she was sort of rude. Her tests are easy and assignments are interesting
Really helpful. You learn a lot. Take this prof if you can, you won't regret it! Assignments are unique & interesting. A must-take class for anyone wanting to go into marketing or sales!
This teacher seems cool and out going. She is, but be prepared for the Midterm and Final. The question are very wordy. Make sure you read every word. Over all if u just want to pass this class take it with her. If u want an A+ then take it with someone else. DO NOT BUY BOOK!!!
This class is not terribly difficult. Do the paper as soon as you can and pay attention to what she says regarding exam questions. If you do that, an "A" is not hard to earn at all. Seriously.
She is the best marketing teacher hands down. Basically gives you all the midterm and final questions and answers. The paper isn't hard but you have to put forth some effort. I love her because the class is not only easy but the knowledge you gain is priceless
Surprised its been 2 years since someone has left a comment. She hasn't changed! Still an awesome professor. Class is very informative and she also includes funny stories to keep the class engaged.
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. I feel that I actually came out of this class more mindful of advertising and more literate in media. She clearly knows what she's talking about and will tell you what is actually used in the professional world.
I do not recommend taking her for this class. She was extremely easy and I finished this class learning absolutely nothing. She was super unclear about the final project and responded rudely to questions in e-mails. If you want your entire grade based off a unclear group project, take her.
Very misleading professor. The exams are harder than she says they are. I recommend getting the book and only taking notes on what she puts emphasis on.
Very misleading. Exams are tough. Take notes only on what she emphasizes on and buy book.
AWESOME! Really funny and absolutely fantastic professor. Really helpful inside and outside of class. Makes marketing really interesting and applicable. Would definitely recommend taking any class from her!
Very nice professor. She's an old school Sales rep that worked at black & decker, and she talks about it non-stop. She really does mean well, but she is unbelievably unorganized. She does not tell her students about when assignments are due or when exams are. The class itself should not be difficult, but she somehow finds away to make it confusing.
She doesn't care at all about you. Her tests and grading are extremely hard. Gives no guidelines at all about anything. If you need help you're out of luck. Avoid her class at all costs
She is such a nice and funny teacher. She gives you the answers to the mid term and final tests in class. Attendance isn't mandatory but if you go you'll get the answers. She ends class early everyday and she is always open to meeting with her students. highly recommend her.
The class itself is very challenging (online videos and final project) but she tries to help even though she is not suppose to. Take her for 202 over anyone else. She wants everyone to succeed and is a very kind lady.
Challenging work but she is always opened to helping if you need it. Take-home final, no midterm, final group project, and 4 outlines of material covered in class. If you hate exams and would rather present, take her. Highly recommended! Also no text needed
She's a super nice person, but all over the place. She's an easy grader, though. As long as you try she's fine. I had her for 202 and she was easy but she's really confusing for 315. I recommend her for 202 but not so much 315.
Highly recommend for 202. You learn on your own time but she helps you if you don't understand. I took her night class and we only turned our assignments in every Wednesday then left. She will stay and explain for those that need more guidance, but she assumes you understand. No lectures.
Easy A for marketing. 2 papers, 1 group project, and 3 exams. she's a little quirky, but nice and interesting.
The professor is NOT helpful at all. Rude at times. She said class wasn't mandatory but then half way through got pissed and changed it to mandatory. DON'T TAKE HER. So much work to be done too. She doesn't look at the homework assigned, she takes your word for it being done. Midterm was super easy, study objectives and you'll be okay.
Most people will like her because she is an "easy" teacher. I am graduating from DePaul and still consider her the worst professor I've had EVER. She gets upset when you ask questions and she rushes you so she can catch her trains. Everything is self taught so not sure why this is not an online course instead of her classes. Would NOT recommend.
Seriously the worst teacher I have ever taken - would not even call her a teacher, she herself says she's just a "cheerleader". Will not teach you or help you, expects you to learn everything on your own or from friends. Would always leave early to go home and leave students to struggle. Avoid at all costs she should not be working at DePaul.
Gail is a good instructor. She might not be clear all the time of what she is looking for, but if you politely ask she's willing to help. Class isn't long. Show up, complete your chapter and leave. Would recommend for 202
This class is very easy to blow off because she just gives you credit for trying. DO NOT GET LEFT BEHIND, otherwise you will spend over 5 hours doing work on the take home final. BEST ADVICE IS TO SIT WITH SOMEONE AND WORK TOGETHER because she will not help you. Although you will pass, you WONT learn anything. which is disappointing.
Overall, the class is easy. It's a case filled class so get ready to participate, otherwise she'll knock off points. There is also a lot of reading involved, however, there is no actual midterm and final. Only papers to do which aren't hard and a group presentation.
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.
Tells you what is on the exams. So prepping is a lot easier. She wants writing to be short and concise. 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. Easy to reach out to and very nice. Get a good group for the final.
Very easy A. Told us all the terms that would be on the tests. There is a group project that is worth 45% of your grade and she doesn't give very good instructions on it. Annoying because I hate depending on other people for my grade. She cancelled the last week of class. Doesn't seem to want to be there. Lets us out like 45 minutes before its over
Very easy A. Tells you exactly what is on midterm and final. Gives very specific instructions of paper and group project. She is not a good lecturer and reads off the powerpoint slides made by the textbook company. Would not recommend taking her if you want to learn anything or are a marketing major.
May as well be a hybrid class. Told us she would not be there to teach us considers herself as coach or cheerleader. Homework assignments have own video lecture must watch outside of class will not finish in class. Encourages you to learn from others clueless as you are. Carelessly checks hw&projs (EspeciallyHerFavorites) Want to learn? AVOID HER!!
Had her for multiple classes. And I think she is a super cool person! Had her for a basic mkt class and it wasn't bad at all. However, I took her online class and it is brutal!! Especially if you want to have a life outside of the class. There are so many assignments that require a lot of work.
easily the worst and most pointless class i've taken. had more work as a two credit class than most four credit classes I've taken. needs to be overhauled by the marketing department.
She truly cares about her students doing well and tells you exactly whats on the exam and what to write on your projects in order to get an A. You rarely ever stay over an hour in her night class, but you spend a decent amount of time meeting with your group to work on projects outside of class. She is funny and an over all great person!
So long as you participate in class, she'll have no problem with you. Make sure you observe deadlines. She is a fantastic person to talk to and is very responsive over email and phone (she provides her cell #). This class is a culmination of all the standard business core except for maybe accounting, those projects are going to hit hard.
Dr. V is awesome! Class attendance is optional but she repeats things during her lectures that will be on the exams; she also posts key terms on D2L prior to the tests so you're superrrr prepared for them - which only happen twice throughout the course and are all multiple choice. Class usually gets out early too :)
She claims to tell you what's on the test but when you take the test it's not the same. Midterm grades where so bad she curved them even though she says she doesn't curve. You basically got to teach yourself.
Very caring and Understanding. You will enjoy taking her class as it goes by really quickly and you will enjoy learning this material.
SHE DID NOT TEACH AT ALL! Most of learning was done outside of class. And we are learning from videos she made 5 years ago. THEN, IN CLASS, she says that this is the only way to learn the material. on top of that, Everything we learned in the video or in class WAS NOT APPLICABLE to TESTS! She says that the book is not needed. DUDE, GET THE BOOK!
You are on your own with this class. You might not even speak to the professor at all. Homework and projects are due every week. There is a lot of work to do! Try to work with someone if you can, the material can be very difficult. DO THE PROJECTS (even though its 1 point, its better than doing the Final Project). Try not to fall behind!!
So much work for a half credit class. Assignments are worth more so do them. The videos show how to make the charts on excel and the book helps you finish them. The 1 point hw is worth it so write something to get some type of credit and don't wait till the last min to the hw! There's like 3-5 tabs for each excel + the "projects"
This is very much like a hybrid class rather than just a lecture. It was a half credit course but didn't really feel like one because I probably put more work into this class than majority of my 4 credit classes. Her midterm and final were difficult (multiple choice) but the assignments and projects were very easy and she let you correct it
Clueless. Weekly, you are expected to teach yourself through videos she made 8 years ago, work through her typos/errors (which can take hours), all so you can show up to class to have her look at it for a second. I would say this is an easy A but if you do not have anyone's work to reference off of, good luck. The class is horribly put together.
It's basically an online class but you gotta show up... All you do is learn from vids and she barely looks at you the entire semestre. Its an easy A cause she's forgetful and sometimes too kind but she also leaves a ton of work to do "over the weekend". I agree with others, it's too much work for a 2-credit class. Take another professor if possible
Solid professor but this class is repetitive & boring. You pay a ton of money to get cases from 2004 & do hw on them every week and there is one presentation every week from a group of two. You have to write two ten page papers for class and then another 10 page paper for your final. Easy class but you HAVE to show up EVERY class or you won't pass.
She's lazy and all over the place. Wouldn't recommend.
9 weekly chapter homework compiled of excel problems, questions, and 5 "assignment projects", 2 exams, and final project. Too much work for 2-credits, self teach, she's all over the place, blabs a lot during lecture which causes confusion, lectures are way too old. An easy course that feels like a painstaking eternity to get through.
Dr. V is honestly one of my favorite profs. She gave our groups the chance to submit our projects early for feedback before she actually grades them and it helped so much. She is very specific on what she wants, but it's not hard to follow her guidelines. Going to class definitely helps on understanding the material. Take her!!
Take as an online class, I can't image how much more painful it would be as a regular course. Lots of work for a two credit class- but good news is if you do all of the project assignments thoroughly, you won't have to do the final project. Must study for tests and must purchase textbook. Not that difficult, just a lot of assignments.
idk why anyone would rate her less than a 5! She's been awesome through the entire online class. She gives CLEAR grading criteria, tells you exactly what u should do & study. Exams are exactly what she tells u to study & she grades so fairly. She goes out of her way to reach out to u to make sure you're doing okay, & responds to emails immediately!
She's an easy is pretty much all I can say. During lectures, she will tell you what is going to be on the test by repeating the question multiple times. Lecture heavy so it can be boring at times, Overall, she's okay. Would recommend if you need an easy A. She is very strict on her instructions, listen to them! 2 tests, mult choice, 2 projects
Dr. V is really not as bad as other reviews might lead you to believe. Came into the class knowing almost nothing about Excel, and I thought the lectures did a good job of teaching the material and functions. My main gripe is the amount of homework. There's quite a lot for a 2 credit class. Definitely a useful class though, especially for marketers
QUEEN!!!!! she literally just wants you to do well. MUST use book, she posts lecture videos of her doing the homework to help you. 2 exams only 10% each of your grade must study for. if you do all the project assignments correctly you do NOT have to take the final and she lets you re-do them if you mess up. go to class for her help on ANYTHING
This class was one of the more useful classes I've taken. She teaches you how to use all the excel functions. The majority of the grade is homework and the project you work on over the quarter. The homework is time consuming, but easy. The videos she posts of her lecturing are so helpful!! The textbook is a must have but the chapters are short.
This class was very helpful in learning excel. Professor V is very easily accessible outside of class; dont be afraid to text her whenever you need help! Took as a winter intercession class. Was a lot of work to do in 2 weeks but glad I did it this way. Textbook required. Be ready to do a lot of busy work. Must study for both exams. Great overall!
She's nice but teaches irrelevant material.
Way too much work for a 2 credit class. Be prepared to spend 4 hours a week on her chapter assignments.
One of the worst professors I've ever taken. She expects you to do a lot of work which is fine, but the instance you ask for help, she gives you vague instructions. She's terrible at keeping things simple. Her lecture videos are outdated and are super long. Midterm and Final have nothing to do with assignments. Overall bad with this professor.
I took this class online and I feel like I learned SO MUCH more than many of my other classes. This was my first online class and she made it extremely easy to navigate through. There is A LOT of work to be done but you learn a lot and as long as you get it done and try you should be off with a solid A.
Get on her good side, you're safe. She TRULY means well, WANTS you to succeed just can be sort of crazy/ all over the place. Trust me the class gets easier and she starts getting more laid back. Work with your group for HW to split it up and have her check your final project before turn in and you're good. Show up or you'll be lost, ask questions.
Took her for all of my Marketing courses. She's super chill, understanding, and explains literally step by step what you should do on every assignment to get an A. Super straight forwards, down to earth, recommend for all your Marketing courses.
I've taken MKT 202 & 315 with Mary. Yes, she is quirky and a little frazzled, but she is a great professor who wants you to understand the material and to succeed. 202 is a lot of busy work for 2 credits, but thats not her fault. 315 is a lot of work, but great material to learn for marketing. Pick a good group for 315 to do well in the class.
Very easy class. The projects and homework were straightforward and easy to do. She doesn't give back a lot of feedback, but you don't really need it haha
Such an easy class! Weekly homework assignments, no quizzes, midterm and final you should study for and the individual paper was not hard just time-consuming. Take her if you can!
Horribly unorganized online (so wouldn't recommend taking her class async during the pandemic), and she'll give you a zero if you don't format things right). Instructions are often unclear from her. She's highly experienced and intelligent in marketing, but she's not a great teacher. Cold, lacks basic compassion, not good with tech.
I took her Async Strategic Tools For Marketers course and do not recommend to anyone. She is a very one and done teacher. Does not allow students to improve their work. She is extremely particular and picky. Even if you do something as little as format something incorrectly, she will drop your grade two whole letter grades down.
She is very unorganized and does not explain the group projects or papers. Most of the time no one knew what the assignments and projects were supposed to be. Sends very aggressive class emails and tells us all we are failing without explaining why.
shes OK. she makes you feel dumb if you ask questions, but she will answer and help you. responds to emails quick. easy class if you listen and participate, not my favorite professor.
