She is the worst teacher ever!!!!!!!!! DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!
defines the word miserable....shesucks
Worste professor in the world!!!!RETIRE LADY...
she sucks
Not helpful, you have to teach yourself
She expects you to know everything but teaches you nothing
CRAZY LADY!!!
What the hell is she still alive for? Should have been retired years ago! If anyone knows someone who could run her over multiple times, let us know
Her classes are the biggest WASTE OF TIME. I could read the books on my own and learn more. Oh wait, thats what I do now since she DOESN'T teach.

Do not waste your money and time on this class!I can guarantee that you will not learn anything, but suffer a lot and your GPA will go way down!
WAY TOO BAD. Mad old, laughs at her own jokes. You won't learn anything whatsoever, and your GPA will plummet. Oh yeah, and you'll be miserable 3 times a week. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Old dirty bag should not be teaching for it is not her forte.....I just laugh when she thinks that anyone takes her serious

Worst teacher I have ever had. know absoultely nothing about sales. She doesn't teach you a thing and has no personality at all. Don't understand why she thinks she know everything. She is a good english teacher on Black board
I never had a class with this lady but she extremely senile and very dumb. She probably is too old to know that you have to plug things into an outlet. Soooooo dumb.
asked her if she had an idea what my grade was. She answered I have no idea Taking her class is like taking in a full time job
She is an aweful professor. Cant stand the women!
she sucks. all she talks about was the ama. she sucks.
Freakin' ****

why do they let her still teach? assignment are really vague and lectures are incoherent
Had her for Sales and Research. 40+ a week of work load. she is crazy and is obsessed with the AMA. I hope she retires and lets all the Marketing Majors take Wolk.
She was the worst advisor, i cant belive they still let people like her shape young minds... COMPLETE MORON
way too much work... it is like taking on a full time job
Run, Run Away. Don't take anything with her she is the worst professor in this whole college. She is and old bag that lies out her teeth.
worst class to wake up to in the morning.. hardcore in your face marketing nazi.. old decripid bag can take her surveys and shove em up her ass for all i care.. her class is in next room right now and still a year later her voice gives me shivers
She sucks. All we did was AMA stuff. Having students sell AMA memberships is a conflict of interest b/c she's a big wig with the AMA. She lies like a sonofa****. DO NOT TAKE HER FOR ANYTHING.
Ok lets say this had her dropped her, One of those prof. you wish would have some kind of illness to make them get sick and leave this college for good
If you love marketing and willing to devote your life to it.. take her.. if not Opp always teaches it just wait to be a seinor to take her

She is the worst Professor ever. When you had a question for her. All she tell you to do is go home and read the textbook. We really do not need her in the class because she is really not doing any teaching.

Her tests are easy but you willl spend most of the class working for her and her stupid projects. She doesnt teach and makes you think your gonna fail, not a class for sensitive people.
I cannot say this plainly enough. All of the negative comments about her are dead-on accurate. AVOID AVOID AVOID. Run like the wind.
No Comments
NO! NO! NO!
worst professor ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Run like the wind and don't look back. Embodies the need for mandatory retirement.
SHE IS AWFUL!!!! RUN FORREST RUN!!!!!
SHE IS AWFUL!!!! RUN FORREST RUN!!!!!

Look at all the bad comments. She can't be that bad? OH YES SHE CAN. Get out of here fast. In fact, don't come in in the first place. Eek. Ack. Ugh.
I didn't take the advise of other students. DO NOT TAKE PROF. KEYES! She does not teach. You must teach yourself. She spends more time on Marketing Research projects that pay money to BSC. DO NOT TAKE PROF. KEYES!
No Comments
Tough teacher, but I learned from her. She makes you think for yourself and I appreciate that from her.
if you're not going to do your work or show up to class you may as well light your $$ on fire. If you are going to do your work and show up she is not as bad as people make her sound.
Ive been told negative things about her but when I worked with her, she was pleasant and accomodating. If you do a good job she will praise you. She buys pizza for her class, Ive seen no other prof do that. Shes a good contact to have to get a job too.
as destiny's child said, "no no no no no!!!"
horrible
This is my 1st class with this teacher and probably last. Somebody said that she praises u if u do a good job....I've never heard any positive comment come out of her mouth, it's all negative no matter how hard u try, she kicks u where u're bruised and pushes u down when u try to get up. EVIL!!!!!!
can someone say, "RETIRE"
just save yourself the headache and take oppenheim
i'm pretty sure that anything good that has been said about keyes was written by her! she's the most miserable person i've EVER met. she should be forced to RETIRE!!! for the love of god, RETIRE!!
I busted my *** and for what to get a C+...so not fair. She cant admit when she is wrong and is not a fair grader. Her class took up all of my time in the semester. For your own sake take someone else. Good Luck!
Worst class I have ever had. Worked really hard, took up all my time and ended up with the best grade in the class on the final project, sounds good right, WRONG! ended up with a D+, didn't talk on blackboard enough. DO NOT TAKE KEYES if possible.
Keyes is such a pill. But if you enjoy being overworked, cruelly embarrassed for not knowing an answer, and a teacher who shamelessly picks favorites, this just might be the class for you. However, in the real world, you might have to deal with bosses like this, so it could be good preparation...
This is without a doubt the hardest class I've ever had and she doesn't do anything to help you. You work for real companies and if one doesn't need you, she berates you for not being good enough. God help you if you spell something wrong on Blackboard.
Needs to retire. She gives 3 tests each one covers 6 chs, no notes, no studyguides, no class discussion. Word of advice study all of the terms in every chapter, and write on blackboard it's a big chunk of your grade. I got good grades but I worked my a$$ off. Trust Me Don't take her.
I have alerted the war crimes division of the US government... Hitlers main general clearly escaped germany and came to bridgewater to teach business. STAY AWAY! She is as bad as you've heard. Shes a monster. Honestly, how many people can you compare with a nazi and feel perfectly comfortable with it.
I spilled water on her... and she began to melt. 0_o
Prof Keyes is tough but so is the business world. She encourages competition and hard work - all good skills for when you get out of BSC. You'll be competing with grads from BU, BC, and UMASS so use her class as a practice run for your future. She changed my life 15 years ago and I'm a better business person because of her.
Easily the worst professor I have ever had. Old Mean, biased, bitter. Do not ever take her!
Professor Keyes is a hard professor. At first when I read all the comments, I was scared to take her. The class I am taking is alot of work, with a huge project that is worth most of your grade, if you put enough time and effort into the class, and def. participate on blackboard you will do fine! Very helpful in the future years!
Very hard class, make sure you have free time to devote to it. Huge Project. Participate on Blackboard and MAKE SURE you read before class!!
Yeah, she's tough, crazy, and mean spirited at times. But you'll do fine if you're not a total slacker. It's like marketing boot camp: it was tough at the time but I look back on it fondly.
Keyes is a tough professor, but if ur organized and not a slacker you will do fine. Alot of work done out of class with projects. Write on BB as much as possible. Be professional and dont sweat the small stuff
Stay away! She's mean
I like the comment that someone made here about her class being compared to boot camp...anybody wanna go to boot camp? She is crazy, designed her syllabus many years ago, i can still find out what student assignments were due in april of last year. the best thing about this class was the group work, and that sucked.
Stay away!!! Marketing is evolving and she was left in the dust. She hasn't worked in the real world for decades and it shows. She lacks knowledge of current trends(last 10 years). She is an awful teacher and a horrible human being as well. Biased(Not in the AMA? You won't pass), senile, inconsiderate, unreasonable, irrational. Ruined school for me
An absolute NUT. Very strict. Happened to like me...luckily.
Knows her stuff, but can't stay focused. I took this class in the evening and she expected her evening students to make exceptions at work to attend events in the morning. she will offer to talk to other professors to let you out of their class and participate in her events, but not vice versa. Unfair in that regards and biased.
This is the worst teacher in America. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS
I took the nite class, had to not only read the book, prepare for most random test questions. Work outside of class hours a week on group project the entire semester. And then had to participate in Blackboard discussion at least twice a day. Contradicts herself on nightly basis, picks favorites, miss 2 classes fail, horror.. avoid at all cost.
If you do the assigned work and are good about keeping up on Blackboard, you will not have a problem. Extra credit is offered and you should do it if at all possible! Hard class, but felt a sense of accomplishment when finished. This is college, not high school - expect to work for your grade!
She constantly contradicts herself because shes too mad to remember what she said previously.Even when u do everything she says she’ll tell u that u forgot to do something that she never asked u to do in the first place.I have no idea why she has any good comments on here.She once offered me some peanut butter from a jar in her office, enough said.
I thought that this class was interesting to take. Boy was I wrong! This class is horrible! Honestly, she's the worst professor I've had. Very unclear and seriously demanding. And as for my grade, considering I have above a 3.5, this class'll knock me under the 3.5 threshold and more or less kill me. Thanks, really!! My GPA was too high I guess.
If you can't handle outside assignments don't take this class. She means well, but comes across mean-hearted. Don't take her class if you can't take criticism.
Retirement needed. Whole lesson plan is completely contradictory. Professor discourages usage of cell phones while requires students to belong to 3 online pages that must be checked daily. Requires a mandatory non-paying internship for a company that she chooses. If you signed up for her, run.
no structure grading is subjective basically if she likes or doesnt like you is how you are graded very unorganized waiting list to avoid her classes is huge
I took a half online half lecture class. If you do not visit blackboard everyday you mine as well drop. That is 50% of the grade. She is quite funny to laugh at because it is so out rageous. Its a huge work load requiring going off campus and helping her other class. I thought i could tolerate it but its pretty horrible
words cannot describe how much you have to stay away from her. Every class I felt like I would rather just die than go to it, but of course its mandatory or you fail. Old, Demanding, insensitive, makes fun of students, unclear unhelpful, completely useless. did we even learn anything? no. can you say senile? the peanut butter is gross too. AVOID!!
No Comments
Seriously, dont take her. Its absolutely rediculous. Makes you work with other classes, pretends shes organized and we're not. When shes being unclear to both classes making a giant mess. I leave class everyday with a headache beacuse shes so unbelievably out of her mind and unclear. if you dont believe me, take her, you'll regret it
Crazy teacher. No curriculum planned ahead. I don't even know what we are actually getting graded on and what she just gives us as pop quizzes. An example of one of her quiz questions is "What was your answer to question 3 on your last test" i forgot how much that deals with management. Should retire.
Why didn't she get anything on the hotness total LOL don't take, you'll be consumed by the class all semester, got a good grade, but was exhausted by the end. Contradiction is an understatement
She is very very tough, but overall will help you out if she notices your input into the class. There is a VERY LARGE amount of web-discussion REQUIRED, almost to the point where this sound be a hybrid course. Again, it's not a easy course but you feel good about the grade you get at the end. :)
DONT TAKE HER, especially online. She requires assignments to be done before classes even start, and she is not even slightly clear about what she wants. She needed to retire 10 years ago!!
RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do yourself a favor and don't take her. You will spend al of your time doing work for her class.
Almost every student despises this woman. She primarily teachers Marketing Principles. How can BSC still keep her around? What does this say about how much the MGMT Dept cares about students opinions? Maybe the new chairperson will finally make a change and use instuctors for this course that the students can respect and learn something from.
Worst online class
I heard she is retiring at the end of the semester. We should all celebrate!!!!!!I held off taking this class since I knew that someone will most likely be teaching this course online. Na Na Na Na....Na Na Na Na...Hey hey Hey, Good bye!!!!!
Taking the class now, very unclear about what is going on and what needs to be done but acts like its obvious. Repeats herself and goes over class time everytime. Doesn't answer questions but instead asks you what you think. Makes no sense most of the time and just says how much of an opportunity being in her class is. Don't take her.
Gives absolutely no direction. Worst professor I have ever had. Stay away.
Picture carrying Osama Bin Laden's child and being forced to line your shoes with shards of glass for an entire semester. This is what taking a class with Sylvia Keyes is like. Also count on being mercilessly corrected on grammar and spelling via Blackboard, then receiving an email in which the fictional word "VERBOTIN" is repeated (doesn't exist)
Within 2 weeks of the summer online class, we were responsible for 287 pages of text info, 4 WSJ article responses, daily discussion online about text, planning for group project and daily progress reports on individual involvement in said project, 2 exams on text. 31 page syllabus contradicts itself with Fall semester info. PREPARE ACCORDINGLY!!!!
This woman has no idea what she is talking about! She is constantly criticizing her students. She gives out way too much work and expects it done in one day. Do NOT take her unless completely necessary, be prepared to suffer severely in her class all semester.
Take this professor's class if you are serious about hands on experience and getting a taste of the real world; If you might go into sales, take it! The actual experience and extra materials, like the videos are excellent... although they may seem corney or boring when watching. Don't take this if you want to slide through.
Human Resource Mgmt; took Spring 09, along with 5 other classes and got an A. Just read the book, do the work, think outside the box.This prof. is not a babysitter, but makes you think for yourself, a necessary skill for the owrkplace. Take if you are looking to succeed as a manager...don't take for sliding through a class.
If you have any other option DO NOT take this teacher. Her syllabus is 28 pages long. Her online class REQUIRES you to post 5 of 7 days a week (defeating the purpose of an online class for students who work full time) Often gives quizzes unannounced so they are missed. Unorganized and very rude and condescending when you ask questions.
I graduated in 1994 (I know a long time ago) she was useless. I ended up getting a B, but really the only thing she taught was to be one of her clones. Just bad, back then I took a marketing research course that forced you to travel in your own car, without getting any compensation for gas. This forced the student to spend not only money but ti
WORST ONLINE CLASS EVER! Do whatever you can to not take this class. Syllabus changes all the time with no notice, missed a lot of assignments because of this. This lady has no soul.
Most useless teacher youll ever find. After reading her 18 pg outline of the "online course" it states shes always available for questions. True but it should have a side note..With condescending attitude.Theres a reason she's an online teacher do what ever you can to avoid her. BTW all the good comments are most likely her on here.
If you don't have a social life, a job outside of school, and are willing to only give 110 percent of your attention to this class, then this is the class for you. Never again.
One of the worse teachers I have ever had. She is a nice lady and she means well but for a 3credit class she will RUN YOU INTO THE GROUND. I am an honors student and I understand the importance of hard work, but after being chosen as her Project Director for the class i have unofficially became her TA for the semester... for no extra credit. AVOID!
She challenged students to be there best. This often frightened many a student. Difficult for sure but taught skills that have stood the test of time. I owe her a great deal. Only teacher I remember from my 4 years at Bridgewater. I took 4 classes she taught. Class of 92. RIP professor Keyes!
