Its her first year teaching so giving her some leniency. She disregards the syllabus and contradicts what she says. The sad part is that she gets so defensive when you speak up and say she did contradicted herself. Easy A but all marketing 350 courses are.

Be wary of reviews you read on here. It's her first year teaching so although the class could run a little smoother, she is very nice and overall the class is very easy (there is a reason you need a 93 to get an A). She also did give a study guide for the midterm. Responds to emails contrary to what people say on here. 10/10 recommend!

LOL every bad review is probably coming from freshmen. If you think Mcginnis is tough/stubborn buckle up young fellas you're in for a rough ride. Class is easy and she gives dry lectures, but midterm was easy, and homework is all online. Do your work on time/study for midterm/final and you'll be fine. Not the best lecture but material is super easy

easy A if you go to class most of the time. syllabus/emails a bit confusing but this class literally consists of iclicker attendence, smartbooks, and 4 online research credits. the bad reviews are from ppl who skipped class and neglected to do the research credits early in the sem. Taia is really kind and has interesting industtry experience

She clearly cares about her job and is very knowledgeable. The class was interesting and she was very flexible. I'm a marketing major and I hope I can take another one of her classes in the future.

ignore the bad reviews- if people think this class was bad they don't go to class, don't read the syllabus and don't submit anything on time. Class is very easy and straightforward. Just submit the smartbooks and quizzes on time and your guaranteed at least a B. She is not the best lecturer but material is super easy/ common sense. Exams online.

Don't listen to the bad reviews. Yes, you need a 93 to get an A, but it's not difficult at all if you put in minimal effort. Contradicted herself a few times throughout the semester regarding syllabus information, but I cut her some slack since it's her first semester teaching. Probably the best choice for a MKTG 350 professor.

Lectures are detailed and she is very thorough, tests are super easy as long as you study her PowerPoints and test guides. She is super hard to reach, but her TAs can answer any of your questions. 93 to get an A so do all the smartbooks!!

This class was pretty easy . Yes you need a 93 for an A but there were easy points for participation, and research studies 2 exams only 15% each . So all it is doing the smart books and quizzes . How much easier do you want . Everything had deadlines so anyone complaining is just not checking to see whats due . Id take her again

Pretty much just did homework and other assignments during lecture and still ended up with an A, even with an A being a 93 or above. Weekly connect assignments and open note quizzes, easy exams, and overall easy material. If you have common sense and you don't miss assignments, you will get a good grade.

Uses iclicker and smartbooks. Reasonable homework. Lectures were pretty fun and the material was made simple by her. Good professor, take her for 350.

She is an excellent teacher and does a lot of extra credit and opportunities to get great grades. She uses iClicker for attendance and class participation; if you go to classes and do the weekly SmarBook assignment, you will have a good grade. Only three exams are based on the book, and you will have to read the book. I recommend her.

Easy class. Tests are lockdown browser, but being an intro to marketing class, the material is not difficult. Uses online textbook for homework modules, which are not strenuous or in abundance. Attendance sort of matters (iClicker) but gives lot of opportunities to boost this grade throughout course. She cares about material and makes it enjoyable.

She does as well as she can for a 400 person lecture intro to marketing class. Cares about the material, and the class is not difficult. Show up to class for the participation points. Exams on lockdown browser. Lectures are straight from the book. I'm just not a marketing person but if you like marketing you'll enjoy the class.

Take Prof. Mcginnis for any marketing class. Attendance is not mandatory but you get extra credit if you show up, not many assignments at all. Literally switched my major to marketing because of her.

This class is an easy A. There are a lot of smartbooks that are time consuming but not hard. She does attendance on iclicker but you only need 80% participation to get full credit. Exams aren't too hard as long as you understand the material. You also need to participate in 4 marketing studies but they're easy.

Taia has great experience and her lectures are very fun, however they have nothing to do with what's on the test. The smart books cover test material not really the lectures. Go to class for the iclickers, after half way through the sem she hid the questions so you do need to go in person to get the points.

Introductory course so most of the material is just useless memorization. Exams are easy. The best part of the class was when guest speakers presented. Useful information about career choice and real world advise is given.

Professor McGinnis's lectures are actually pretty interesting and not difficult to follow. The tests are super simple and it's not hard at all to do well in this class. Highly recommend.

I'm not a marketing person so this class didn't really click with me. Its not hard, but attendance is mandatory for iClicker, lots of smartbooks/connect activities, and its kinda difficult to prepare for her exams. If you're good at memorizing and regurgitating material than you'll do fine.

When I did go to class she was a really nice lady lol. The class is entirely smartbook assignments that weren't painful and 3 exams that were mostly common sense. You will do well in this class and she really enjoys what she does. Definitely take her.

Do the marketing studies as early as possible. Exams are easy just study the power points and quizlets and you should do fine. This is a class that freshmen should be taking starting off in the business school with how elementary the information is. She is a good professor, but all the information she teaches is directly from the textbook.

This was probably the easiest class I have taken at Darla. Lectures were entertaining and the homework was easy. There is some outside of class work that you have to keep track of like the research studies to get full credit for the class. Attendance was not mandatory but there were iClicker questions. Plenty of extra credit. Hard to not get an A.

Overall, a great person and teacher. It is a project based class so attendance does count and is very valid in this class. If you like projects, I definitely recommend this class. You have one big project for the semester along with one fun project in the middle! I enjoyed the class and highly recommend!

Professor Mcginnis is great. Her tests are exactly like the smart books and that is what i use to study. She is super caring and will help you. Attendance is an iclicker. There are 4 studies you have to do for MKTG 350 so prepare for that. Would reccommend her.

She is great. Weekly homework due on Sunday nights on Connect, exams are proctored but you can take them online at home She lectures really well and gives lots of real world examples of different marketing concepts and she makes learning the material effortless. There are usually daily iClickers so going to class is important but its not bad at all

I am not a marketing person so I was overthinking during exams and confused myself but still did well. her class is fine, you need an 80% on iClicker to get credit for attendance and the homework was always due on sundays. exams were offered in person or online with respondus. she brings in guest speakers who were interesting sometimes.

Professor Mcginnis was an AMAZING porofessor! Even though this is a 400+ person class, she makes it feel small with interactive content and genuinely wants you to succeed. She has experience in the business field so she is super knowledgeable and will bring in other experienced business consultants to share advice.

Professor Mcginnis is great. Super nice and easy to understand. The lectures arent boring and are easy to follow. iclicker is used in class for the participation grade but this class is pretty much common sense. i would definitely take her again.

Prof. McGinnis is super sweet and has a lot of experience in the field which made it engaging to listen to her stories. Exams are proctored online, there are smartbooks for each chapter, and attendance is through iClicker. Lots of easy points all semester and she has pretty engaging lectures. I would take her!

Taia teaches what is in the Smartbook for the class, and not much else. She is very sweet, however, and has decent lectures. She does do iClicker for attendance so you do need to go to class if you want a great grade. Exams are lockdown and are pretty easy, still.

She is very nice and it is pretty easy to get a good grade. The exams can be a little difficult, but she seems to curve them and they don't hurt your grade too much. Make sure you are completing the Connect assignments each week, as they play a pretty big role into your grade. I would definitely take her!

Go to class and do the smart books, and all you will need on the exams are Bs to achieve an A in the class. If you don't get an A, it's on you, not Prof. Mcginnis

Lots of homework assignments that help with your grade! Attendance is graded using iClicker, excused doesn't matter. Little unfair because one day could be 6 points and the next could be 2, so one person could skip 3 classes and only miss 6 points and one person could skip 3 and miss 18. Test are structured more application based than definition.

Strict on attendance and due dates so don't slack. Extra credit mixed with attendance, research studies, and homework make getting an A pretty easy. Only complaint is there's no great way to study for the exams as her slides have different points then the smart books. You can get B's on all the exams and pass with an A. Lectures are pretty boring.

queen. such an easy class. you have 3 absences and you're graded off of weekly smartbooks, 3 exams, and your i-clicker participation grade. the only annoying thing is that you have to participate in research studies but they're easy to get out of the way. if you don't do well in this class its bc you're too lazy to go to class

This class is very easy and Taia makes it interesting by bringing in many guest lecturers. Just do the clicker questions in class and the smartbooks and you'll pass easily.

Attending every class for the iClicker, doing the homework, assignments and research credit leaves room for you to get B's on test and still get an A. Extra credit quiz on a presenter day. Use both presentations and smartbooks, but smartbooks do help more with test than the PowerPoints. Don't just know definitions know the applications. Fun class!

She is a pretty good lecturer. There's 3 exams and a final. She doesn't give much materials to study for it though. However, they are not difficult at all if you read the powerpoints and do the smartbooks. There are smartbook assignments and she required us to participate in marketing studies. Attendance is for extra credit and uses iClicker.

This class is pretty easy. I've shown up to class maybe 5 times and I have an A. Exams are online and assignments are all easy. Attendance isn't mandatory but you can get extra credit for going to class. Overall a great professor and keeps lectures interesting.

I felt like the class was a lot of common sense so it's not hard to get a good grade. Mrs. McGinnis is a really good prof and is very clear about the grading and expectations. Her lectures are very concise, which makes it easy to learn topics. Im a STEM major who didn't know anything about MKTG, and it was very easy to learn in this class.

Some of these reviews are being a bit dramatic ngl, but honestly the class is easy and Professor McGinnis is fun to listen to. It's primarily SmartBooks but they give lots of grades and you definitely need to study for exams. Prof is strict on extensions but she opens the homework over a week in advance so just plan! Exams are online, lockdown.

Professor Mcginnis is such an great teacher! Put in effort into the class, and manage your time wisely. If you do that it will be an easy A. Exams basically come straight out of the smartbook, and the concepts are not challenging. Attendance is not mandatory, but if you want extra credit just come to class and do the iclickers. She's awesome!

After the first few going to class is really only necessary for extra credit, I stopped going halfway through. As long as you do the HW you should do good on the exams. Great easy option to knock out business requirement, but if I was a marketing major I'd take a section later in the day

the way to do well in this class, is actually read through the chapters. Then do the recharge the smart books. She gives lots of extra credit. You can average like an 80 on exams and still get an A. Do not wait to do the studies, knock them out early. Sometimes, they open a little before they say they do.

Very easy course. There is a ton of extra credit that makes it easy to get an A in the course without trying excessively hard. Just read the book and do the homework and you should be good.

She was a great professor and explains all the material well. The exams were a bit difficult but not too bad. Overall enjoyed her class and I would take it again. She uses the McGraw Hill textbook online and all of our homework on there as well.

Tests are a little harder than they need to be because they involve a lot of application. Study before exams and you will do fine. Guest lectures are insightful and a great aspect of this class.

Taia is a pretty solid teacher. The class uses McGraw Hill, which has been pretty east, but can be slightly time consuming for homework. Exams are respondus and you'll do fine if you study.

She talks a lot during her lectures, which aren't very useful. However, the iClicker points matter for attendance, so you still have to go. The tests aren't even based on lectures, just McGraw-Hill, which is easy to study, but the tests can be difficult. Overall, it is okay. I average 90s on tests, but it takes a lot of studying for no reason.

The exams are fairly easy, especially since a good chunk of the material taught in this class is intuitive. However, there's still a good chunk of information you need to memorize, a lot of which can feel redundant. Tests are mostly based off what's covered in the book. Professor Mcginnis is very nice but the lectures can get boring.

Professor Mcginnis was a great professor. Her lectures can get boring and feel redundant, but she does include a lot of real-world examples which helps put the information into perspective. Tests are fairly easy and are mainly application-based questions. The smart books are annoying but accurately reflect what's on the tests.

Super easy class if you do the work and study the homework/slideshows for exams. Prof. Mcginnis is super nice and gives plenty of resources to succeed.

Professor Mcginnis is really nice and her class is pretty straightforward. All work is done on connect and she does do iclicker but counts it for participation and now attendance. She has lots of guest speakers who are great to connect with to network. They exams are on lockdown but as long as you study the connect assignments you will be good.

Would recommend taking her for MKTG 350. Grades are primarily based on 4 exams (including final), connect assignments, and iClickers for attendance. The exams are fairly easy, mostly based on the McGraw-Hill assignments. You take the exams online with Respondus LockDown browser. She also provides a fair amount of extra credit.

Super nice person, really worked to make class engaging. Lectures usually ended early and we had a few guest lecture opportunities for extra credit. Definitely easy to get an A, even without great attendance.

Honestly she's a good professor; just go to class and review homework and slides for the exams and you'll probably be fine. There's not too much homework, but instead of one or two a week it's four assignments due every few Sundays. Overall a very good professor and made the class really interesting.

She was very aware that not everyone was a mktg major (and a lot of people didnt care about it) but she tried to be interesting. The only attendance was iclickers which was annoying but easy. Studied for the tests for like 20 min each and got an A in the class. Good if your not a mktg major and just want to get the class done.

The best professor I've ever had. During our semester long project, she was always super helpful and gave wonderful insights on a direction for our group. She also made sure the lectures were very engaging.

Professor Mcginnis's lectures are boring, but there is not much information to really cover. A lot of the lectures are just her repeating the same things. This makes studying for exams hard, as there is no clear structure to the class and she does not provide study guides. Overall, an easy class but one you just have to get through.

Honestly, I'm not upset. I went from a C to an A+ for this class. Exam (3) can be taken online Lockdown or during class time, in-person on paper. There was quite some HW, I mean like 5 a week (SmartBook Q - short) But the HW and project is what got my grade up. Have to create a Resume, a Linked-In profile, & Adobe Portfolio ALL. *GLAD I DID IT.

Class was pretty easy. She does iclicker but you don't have to go to a lot of classes because she gives a lot of leeway with iclicker points. Lectures are exactly like textbook. Exam is easy, but she gives you no review other than the recharges.

She is a nice professor, but her lectures do not correlate to her exams. Everything is on McGraw Hill so do the recharges as review instead of her lectures. There is about two assignments a week and they are easy. She does iclicker but you only need 80% attendance to get a 100. Take her but expect boring irrelevant lectures.

Everything is on mcgraw hill. The lectures are very quick so tough to get notes down. But a lot of opportunities to get points and exams are curved.

You don't really get to know her due to the big class, but she seems nice. As for the class itself, it's pretty easy. iClicker is annoying, but it's not a huge part of your grade. Homework is annoying but easy. I probably studied for at most an hour before the exams (including the final). Put in just a little bit of effort, and you should get an A.

Take her!! This is a pretty easy class but there are iclickers so you have to go even though the lectures really dont matter. All i did for the exams was do sharpen on McGraw-Hill and I always did well. Other than going to class being a little pointless this professor truly cares. She gave us so many useful things to use in our futures.

Super easy class I'm not sure why it gets hate. Go to class for Iclicker and random extra credit, she cares a lot about Marketing and your success. Study with lecture slides and McGraw hill recharges.

This class is a lot, it was a semester long project with two presentation and was pretty time consuming. She's super nice and will help if you ask but didn't give super clear instructions for either presentation. I would recommend taking a different mktg elective if possible thats less time consuming.

If you can take her! Taia was a great professor and obviously cared about the future of her students. We had projects and guest speakers that set us up as business students for a successful future. Class was interesting and overall on the easier side; however, lectures were a little bit boring and not that useful. Exams were easy though

Taia is an incredibly kind and passionate professor. It's clear she loves to go in and teach class every time. A lot of the class focused on marketing yourself, which I found useful, but outside of that, the class felt very useless. Most exam questions come from the smartbooks, and attendance is worth very little. Still, I would reccomend.
