Excellent teacher, I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to take marketing 120 or 150.
Her lecture is interesting. And she is kinda lenient in marking exams and presentation. She is very very kind , easy-going and understanding. I highly recommend her class !!! esp marketing 120
Awesome, kind, respectful, intelligent lady. Class is interesting and so is she. She knows what she's talking about. If everyone screws up on an exam, she ups' everyone's grade by like 10%. Cool class.

She is very good teacher.

Padma is a very nice teacher. She's very helpful and easy. She is always clarifying concepts in class and allows student to freely voice their opinion. She can really relate to the students really well! She's also very funny too. Adorable!
padma RULES! best teacer ive ever had
Very good teacher and works hard to help students understand the concepts.
Padma is a GEM! She is kind, understanding, intelligent, funny and helpful. I love her personal stories, please don't stop telling your stories! I enjoyed her class, her attitude towards the subject and life.
Padma really gets the attention of the class. Her stories are excellent and relate well to the topic she is describing. She is the best prof. I have ever had.
Fun class, fun teacher. I highly recommend her.

Very understanding teacher and very respectfull to students. Her mc quizes are a bit hard, but her exams in general are quite fair. She is a great teacher.
according to the persian prince she is a cool teacher
AWESOME TEACHER!!! =) Padma is one of most nicest and caring teachers I've had! she really cares about her students and wants everyone to do well! highly recommended for all marketing courses! easy to get an A!!
Vipat is the best and nicest teacher I've had. just enjoy her course and have fun!
Very clear and entertaining lectures...ties them into todays economic world. Uses videos Exam and midterm were fair but not that difficult if you attend class and use her online notes...no need to buy the textbook with Padma if you use her online notes.
I had her in two classes a few semesters ago! awesome teacher, i've never had a professor like her! She has a really big sense of humour, big heart overall just cares about her students! highly recommended!
She cares...and that is what makes a teacher great...dont be hesitant to ask her for help or ideas on projects...she will help you out...
The best teacher at Douglas. Quality teacher! Cares about the students, passionate with her teaching. Too bad all teachers cant be like her. She should teach a class, "Padmas teaching program for all you other dumn, carless meatheads." Your the best Padam!
Funest instructor at douglas. She makes class fun by telling great stories and funny jokes. She cares about her students and is always there when you need her. She is one of those people who if she sees you in the hallway she will stop you and ask you about your life. I higly recommend Padma!
She's nice. Good teacher.
One of the best teachers you will meet, funny, and very understanding and helpful. Look at all the ratings, how could they all lie.
Any class of Padma's is great. She is a great teacher who cares about her students. She knows her stuff and is great at explaining it. Her classes are easy, but you learn so much. I highly recomend Padma!
Padma is a really great teacher. She is funny, interesting and makes things fairly easy. But this consumer behaviour course is just verrrry boring. I have taken 1120 and 1150 and they were both great. This class needs a boost of somthing.....
Padma is a good teacher.
One of the best teacher in Douglas,really care about her students,full of humor, make you love this course.easy maker too, highly recommend~~
Padma Padma Padma, you rock!!!
Padma is great! Very funny! Have had her for many courses. She does get boring somtimes when the content is long and challenging. She is very linient on tests and gives fairly easy assignments. Padma is a great person and cares about her students! And my god, did I mention shes funny!!
great teacher, funny, teaches all information that needs to be known, good marker, very nice
She's ****in hilarious for a middle aged east-indian lady. Tests are pretty easy if you study. She's clear and makes the class fun and also give notes on what she's teaching ahead of time on WEBCT.
Padma was almost too laid back in class. Her class was fun to attend because she would tell stories. As my preference I like to learn as much in class so I dont have to in my own time. But she is super easy and very nice, you will never regret taking her.
Excellent teacher, good marker, she says attendance is mandatory, but it only really is for the first couple of weeks. Got an A+ and i hope i have more classes with her in the future.
Padma is great! She's incredibly nice, very fair, and cares a lot about her students and wants to see them succeed. Take her, you won't regret it. :)
Padma is for sure one of my favorite teachers! She made it fun to be in class and i would definitley take another class with her in the future! She is so sweet and so easy to go and talk to! Thank you Padma
Very likable and friendly teacher. She wants her students to succeed and has some funny stories.
She is great, teaches on a personal level that makes you want to learn. She wants to help her students succeed in her class and thus makes herself available for that...TAKE HER CLASSES
helpful.
Padma is the best teacher ever! She makes going to class fun and entertaining. She brings interesting stories that can relate to the topic you are learning about. Shes also very helpful so dont be afraid to ask for it.I'm taking her again this semester.
if only i knew about her earlier.. sooo funnyyy n soo fun, great teacher, easy going, i never skip a class, well.. once or twice not intentionally. midterms so easy.. i wish der were more teachers like her. i love love love her lectures, its clear, easy to follow n entertaining. WORTH UR MONEY strait up.
Awesome teacher very clear and easy marker, just come to class participate and study somewhat for exams and u can score a b easily.
Notes are super unclear. Jumps around from one place then back somewhere else. Almost impossible to read her handwriting. Although she's a very nice and friendly teacher, I couldn't comprehend any of my notes after reading them again!
She is the best! Very clear, understanding and makes the class fun. I have taken her for 3 classes and wish she was teaching more courses for me to take. The notes are super helpful.
amazing
Padma is absolutely AWESOME! I've taken both personal selling and intro mark w/t her. Loved both the classes. Keeps the lectures entertaining, is adaptable and really wants to make sure you do well. She is fair, funny and I thoroughly recommend taking her classes.
Good!
SHES THE BEST INSTRUCTOR EVER. EVERYTHING ON YOUR EXAM IS STRAIGHT FROM HER NOTE. FOLLOW HER GUIDE AND YOU WILL GET A
My first semester ever in college, and Padma was the best professor i could have ever hoped for. If your taking Marketing... Take it with her!
Keeps the class awake and paying attention with great examples and personal stories. Extremely fair marker, straight from notes. Great professor, energetic, interesting, fun, other teachers could/need to learn a lot from her teaching style. She keeps herself well maintained, and cute. Will remember this instructor 4ever
best teacher ever, enough said.
Padma is surprisingly entertaining, but that's about all I have to say about her that's overly positive. I don't know why her ratings are so high, when both my other courses were harder and I got a much better grade in them and tried my hardest in Marketing. I got a B- in her into marketing class expecting a B+ at least... Overall, 3.5/5
I really liked Padma. She has a great teaching style - makes it really easy to understand and keeps the class intersting. I thought she was fair. I plan to take all her courses and highly recommend her.
I love her and she is the best theacher I had.
padma is a boss lady and she knows it...interesting lectures
The best teacher i've ever had. Shes knows the material and is really nice, GPA booster, anyone taking marketing i tell u guys take classes with her. she's the best
Best teacher i've ever had !!
I read the reviews thinking her class would be amazing- disappointed, she does not live up to them. Though she's not an awful prof, I think she's very unorganized and it shows-Comes to class late, does not know what she has/has not taught us-students constantly telling her, the notes online do not always correlate with her class notes,etc. OK prof.
I love her teaching style and has made me interested in Marketing. I was not disappointed. So many people can't be wrong. Highly recommend her. She is very fair and her lecture notes help a lot contrary to the last comment. If you work hard it is easy to get a good grade in her course.
Good teaching style. She is helpful and lectures are easy to follow. Will be taking her courses in future for sure.
You won't regret taking Padma's class. She's a very fair marker and her class goes by fast. If you go to her class and take notes and study from them, you will be golden. She's also very humorous. Also, make sure you follow her instructions with regards to the two case studies. There's two test, two case studies, 1 MT and 1 Final and one project.
Her two hour classes feel like they are 20 minutes. TAKE HER. As long as you take good notes during class and read her printed lecture notes you can do well on tests. She tells funny stories, and they actually have relevance to the topics discussed in class
She is awesome
Padma makes the class interesting and fun to learn. It is obvious she enjoys teaching. She has funny stories to tell but relates them to what we are learning.
She was the best teacher I've ever had in Douglass college.
I really enjoyed her class, will take her again.
She is amazing teacher, always ready to help you in studying. I love her classes and hope that I will have chance to join one of her courses again.
Padma's lectures are usually interesting and insightful but I wish she would be more clear on what she expects from student assignments/exams. If this were the whole story I would rate her 5/5.... However, she is NOT flexible at all in terms of deadlines/extraordinary life or health circumstances so do not expect her to make exceptions for you. 2/5
Padma was hilarious in class! Made for a very smooth semester. Only complaint is myself and a couple other students were always puzzled scratching our heads about how she graded assignments and test questions
i thought the class would be rly easy but it actually was harder than i thought. for future students, instructor valued attendance and participation. even though it was hybrid course u had to show up for the schedule classes other wise u lose attendance score
She made the course interesting and relatable to marketing.
Padma is an excellent prof. Her lectures are great, and her expectations are clear. She's not the easiest marker, but she's not unreasonable either. Make sure you memorize your presentations, as she docks marks if you use notes.
Her class is hybrid, which mean you only need show up in every other week. No need for the textbook. And she is a good marker.
She is great.
Insightful course and she makes it easy to understand. Highly recommend it.
This lady made marketing my favorite class to be in, in my first year of college. Her multiple hilarious stories make it all the easier to connect with what she teaches in her lectures. If you pay attention, write down notes, and review your stuff, you should get pretty good marks in her class, as I find her an easy grader.
Padma has figured out the magic of who cares about learning and who's there for the credit. Take interest in the material and you'll find you will have a more pleasurable experience dealing with her. With a real background in marketing and not just academia she gives great business advice even if its against the text.
Best teacher, highly recommended. take as many courses as possible. makes course easy going for the students. best part is the bi-weekly classes.
Padma is one of my best professors. All of her examples are clear and super easy to comprehend. Just attend all of her classes, take note, do your assignment properly and it won't be hard to get a good grade.
She is the best awesome instructor
She is best teacher in Douglas , highly recommended. she is very helpful.
She is a great teacher! She made the course content very interesting and was very funny. Helps prepare you for the final
Padma is a great person and I love coming to class, as she makes marketing very interesting. She tells great stories that can help you remember the course material. Her tests are straight forward, based on her notes. Definitely worth taking Marketing with her. Will take her again.
Padma was a great prof! She is passionate, caring, and funny. She made the lectures interesting with funny stories. Sometimes she seemed disorganized or came a bit late but I believe she had another class before mine. The class is easy and she is a easy marker. She wants everyone to do well! There was a midterm, final, group project, 2 case studies
very clear that she knows what shes doing, she has long lectures but goes off track with awesome stories (that actually relate to the content) so keeping focused isnt too hard. use her review for tests and attend class you should get a good grade! love her
Amazing teacher
She was so funny! I looked forward to taking her classes every week. She is great at keeping the class engaged and is a super generous marker.
Padma is a great and very informative teacher. She makes her lectures interesting by incorporating relevant examples and stories that relate to the content. In all honesty, this course was very easy and enjoyable. She has 2 classes a week and attendance is required. I definitely recommend taking her if you can get in, she's very popular!
Padma is awesome! She tells great anecdotes to illustrate course material and is very knowledgeable. Work hard, do the homework and her course will be rewarding. Padma is very accessible, patient, helpful, and a clear marker.
Padma is a gem. Very kind person with fun lectures and memorable anecdotes. She's and easy marker too! 3 video submissions and 1 written report. I'll definitely be signing up for another one of her classes.
This professor who I recommend following her lectures and steps, you will easy to get good marks. I learned a lot of concepts from her class.
LOVE HEEEER, Best lectures of my course, easy to understand and she gives examples to understand the concepts 10/10
Professor Padma is truly a great professor. She is very considerate and accommodating. Has a clear teaching structure. Her knowledge on CSR is in-depth. Her guidelines pertaining to assignments and projects are crisp and clear. Indeed a good course and she grades very well. Overall, it was a positive and a good learning experience with her.
Padma is a gem!! Would recommend her to anyone! She is really nice in lectures and as a person.
Great stories, she's really chill and the class is really easy. Probably going to be the easiest professor for the rest of my college career lol
I highly recommend her.
One of the best professors ever, she shares knowldge and her way of teaching leave a mark for all our life. Her experiences in life give us real life marketing examples and help connect a lot of decision-making. Thank you Professor Padma
such a sweet caring person. Very funny
Padma is one of the best professors I've had at Douglas College. She is very funny, caring, and always accessible via email for any questions. Her lectures are enjoyable and engaging. She not only uploads her ppts but also provides her own detailed notes. Padma knows how to set her students up for success. You won't regret taking any of her classes
Highly recommend
Padma is a caring and knowledgable prof. Her classes were interesting and taught great marketing concepts for beginners. She helped prepare for the midterm and final so there were no surprises. An online textbook is required attached with tests that were worded poorly and were confusing. Overall the class was enjoyable and she is a great prof.
I loved her sense of humour! She made jokes and I enjoyed it very much!
Great prof. Easy class. 1 midterm and the questions were given before hand. No final exam but 1 big sales manual project due + presentation. 3 b2b presentation assignments which are super easy. Tells funny stories related to the lesson. Material came from notes she took and students would copy. No weekly homework. Office hours helped a lot!
One of the best professors and her lectures give you a good sense of connection with the topic. Highly recommended.
Padma is the best instructor I've had so far at Douglas. She really cares about her job and her students. Her lectures are easy to follow, entertaining, and go by fast or end early. Always love hearing her personal stories that she ties into her lecture material. I've taken her for 2 courses so far and wish I could take her for them all. Love her.
Padma is the best prof I have ever had! Her lectures are very engaging and fun, especially when she has her personal stories to add! She makes it very clear what content will be on exams, midterms, tests, and she also gives very clear instructions for every assignment. I would 100% recommend her to anybody taking marketing classes.
She is fun but her midterms and final are not. A lot of memorize and it is paper based exams if you take her in person.
Padma is an engaging prof who makes the material fun and easy to understand. The class has few assignments but attendance is mandatory. Unstuck study was super helpful for preparing for the tests.
Padma makes class fun! She is nice, gives easy marks, and provides study guides. She posts the slides and note summaries after class. Attendance mandatory. Content: quizzes (20%), 2 case assignments (10% each), midterm (20%), term project (20%), final exam (20%). Padma did not post grades on Blackboard, and assignments were all handed in on paper.
I highly recommend Professor Padma! She is amazing and her lectures are very interesting. She links real-world examples to her lectures which helps her materials become easier to understand. Whenever I email her questions regarding projects, she always makes sure to clarify details. Her exams are fair and only focuses on class materials.
She is a nice, fun, professional and very knowledgeable. She requires printed copies of homework, so make sure you keep multiple copies of your work. She lost 2 of my projects and I nearly failed the course due to this, fortunately she was understanding and let me submit my work again. Mid term and final exam are NOT easy, and she´s a tough grader.
She is very friendly faculty and clears our queries instantly but her lectures are theory with real life examples and final exam is based on the real case study testing on the subject. I will take her another course with her.
She discriminates by giving high grades to students she likes. I thought I would get at least a B, but my final score was a C+.In other words, even with the highest possible final exam score, I only got 25%. I was dissatisfied with this, so I asked her directly via email and Blackboard to disclose my final exam score, but she ignored both requests.
Padma is very genuine person. She really wants her students to do well, gives her lecture notes and powerpoints so it make it easy to understand the material. She is very helpful and explains things clearly . I really liked her teaching style and will take her for another elective next semester.
