To be completely honest she is not the WORST teacher ever. However, during lectures she does not talk about much and does bash many students when it comes to simple mistakes. It can at times make people feel discouraged rather than uplifted.

She's very sweet and smart, gives good advice to students. But sometimes it feels like you're not learning much but that can be because the class is only once a week. She grades based on coming to class do your work and participate.

Dr. Benton was a good professor who takes her College of Business students very serious. I actually felt very inspired by her professionalism and look forward to visiting her after our class is over. She didn't purposely mean to but she has great humor. Her lectures though were always about the same thing, she never had a lesson plan.

Dr. Benton is a nice person. She prepares you for what's expected of you as a student at the Deese College of Business and Finance. As far as the assignments she didn't use blackboard to remind us of the work we had due. Her lectures were about what to wear, how you should present yourself to your professors, and just basic professionalism.

Although a lot of things are repeated in class, it is clear Dr. Benton just wants the best for her students and she will give you more than enough opportunities for networking. The work given is relatively easy to where anyone can pass and attendance is MANDATORY for a decent grade in the class (she will make that known during the semester!).

Talks a lot, the lectures were kind of random about half-way through the semester. The second half of this course felt irritatingly repetitive. Attendance is mandatory and collected at the beginning of class, being ever 5 minutes late will result in a tardy which is worth less attendance points. Assignments are on suitable and relatively easy.

Attendance is definitely mandatory, it is 40% of your grade. My only issue with Dr. Benton's teaching is the fact that class became repetitive once we got to the halfway point of the semester. This class can easily improve if there is an agenda for each in class, not an impromptu lecture every week.

Dr. Benton is kind and supportive, offering great opportunities for students. The coursework is straightforward if you meet deadlines. However, dressing in business casual weekly became tiring, especially with frequent dress code reviews. I gained useful insights on NCAT tools and resources, though the class felt repetitive toward the end.
