I have so much respect for Dr. Shah because of how good her lectures are. She brings in so much experience and energy into her lectures that I'm usually just in awe of the luxury education I'm receiving. For MKT 243 there were article readings and textbook readings pretty consistently and the midterm consisted of MC and short answer which were fair

She is so great and funny! She really cares for her students. Her exams were worth 40% of our grades and were fair. We read chapters and articles for homework and went over them for the lecture. We had a final group presentation. I really enjoyed going to her classes and I loved her enthusiasm and passion for teaching.

I'm surprised that despite many many years of MCP no one left a comment here. Best class ever, very good professor and project structure. Nothing is perfect on paper but Professor Shah and the wonderful TAs will get it right. 100/10 recommend this class. MCP is a hands on semester long project, so get prepared to do real work.

Very chill and kind professor who made me feel less stressed. Test had some tricky questions and had no idea what I got on the group project. She is very lenient with the BBA core curve, so getting an A or A- should be easy if you are at least average (will never curve down). Highly recommend her if you want an easier time in marketing.

Professor Shah is honestly one of my favorite professors in the bschool. I highly recommend taking her class and it's really easy to get an A. There are 2 tests that are worth 40% of your grade, a group project of making a new product, 2 cases that you have to do, and guest lecture summaries. Participation is really important!

Professor Shah is hands down the best professor I've had at Emory. Not only is she the kind of person that genuinely cares about each of her students, but she's also a super interesting lecturer. She brings in the best speakers, opens every class with a joke, and clearly outlines every expectation she has for her students- what more could you want?

MCP gave me the greatest group project I've ever had, both in terms of team members and the overall assignment. Higher education should give you the chance to work on real-world problems whilst not having too much accountability, and MCP combines those two dimensions perfectly. Pace your work out throughout the semester and you'll love it!

The grading criteria for participation is a bit too much. I think there are better ways to do this without having a person talk every day in class. She offers an alternative: discussion posts. However, we are so busy with other classes, her readings (including textbooks and cases), and group projects that we don't have time for them.

Dr. Shah is a very talented lecturer and is adept at engaging students. The class isn't too hard--the most time-consuming aspect is the group project; there are deliverables throughout the semester where she gives you feedback, so pay attention to what she wants to see.
