Anyone who says her class is confusing or unclear is wrong. Professor Louie was extremely detail oriented and made it clear that if you study her slides you will pass exams. I got an 89, 90, and an 85 on her tests just from studying the slideshows, and there are only a few homework assignments. Overall a great class.

Best instructor if you want to learn and be entertained without losing attention. biggest problem is everything you learn and cherish isn't used on the test. she literally uses trick questions which give you a 50/50 chance of getting anything right as answers are very similar. this wouldn't matter if her test focused on marketing concepts.

If you don't mind tick question test where she literally writes on the test that it will be evaluated for her trick questions if enough students miss them then sure take her. just know paying attention doesn't help. learning how to take trick question test is the only way.

Best professor I've taken in Marketing. She seems strict as first but as long as you follow her deadlines and instructions, you should be good. All lectures and no projects so grades depend on the exams so don't fck up. She does not require a book. All exams are based on powerpoints. If you want an easy class, take her.

Shes a reasonable professor, lectures are interesting and funny. Class participation matters. No homework. Grade is made up between 2 midterms and final exam. Showing up to lectures is how you learn. If you show up youll be fine

Initially youll think shes too particular and up-tight, but then she has reasonable explanations why she does things the way she does: for peak efficiency. She also seeks to help students have the most efficient class: the least amount of work for the most amount of learning. I really appreciate that! Shes funny and engaging and I recommend her.

Intimidating at first but one of the best professors I've had! Literally just do exactly what her directions say & you'll get a good grade. Not much homework & she gives notes to print out for lectures. Her tests are from the notes. Anyone who says she sucks just didn't try. Some math at beginning but get through it & you're gold for the sem!

I feel she's misunderstood by many. Shes does have a certain way of doing things but the class is much better with the way she has it structured. All exam material is covered in the lectures and the notes, no required textbook. Exams are a little challenging but nothing too bad. Homework is fun and relates to the class. Graded on 3 exams + hw.

The class itself is a few assignments and 3 tests, straight forward right? Wrong. Exams regardless of how long you study is designed to trick you. She gives useless advice on how to prepare for her test. I tried my hardest and constantly get disrespected by her grading. Felt like no matter what I did I was wrong. Overall just an awful time.

Graded on 3 exams and a handful of hw assignments, but don't really buffer your grade. Lectures is what is on the exams, study the slides and you can do good. She is a little old school with lecture but does it so we can learn better & it works. It was a tough class but she is open for office hours and can schedule more times too.

This professors lectures are genuinely interesting and the class never felt long. She respects students time by assigning little homework but because of this most of the grade will come from the 3 exams and final. The exams are easy IF you study. Attend class and takes notes on the lectures and slides and you will do fine.

Likes to test heavily based on what's in her lectures. Reads off the slides and posts them on Canvas. Doesn't do curves. Class is graded on exams. 3 midterms and one final. Be prepared to take good notes. Says she wants constructive feedback but won't do anything about a problem. If you can avoid taking this professor, please do.

The professor is enthusiastic about teaching marketing, which doesn't always make the class boring. 2 midterms and 1 final, based on lecture notes most of the time. Also has a few assignments. I didn't study much but got by it. She encourages participation as she gives extra points to those who do.

Interesting professor. Homework basically means nothing and has no point value. Three exams which have nothing to do with material covered in lecture. Exams are designed to make you fail. And they make up most of your grade. She claims that its normal to get a C or D in her class. This is an intro to marketing class. Insane. Run.

This professor is very difficult and almost impossible to pass. The majority of her class is based by three exams and despite her saying the topics of the exams, the questions are hyper specific and almost unfair. Her exams don't cater to material that you'd think would be relevant which makes her course all the more unfair.

Prof Louie's teaching style is very straightforward, and you can tell that she loves what she does. You get graded based on 2 MTs, 1 final, and 2-3 assignments graded on completion but pay attention to the instructions, and 2 chances to participate in class. Ppl that say to avoid taking her at all cost probably only showed up during test days lwk

Very fun professor, clear interest in the course which makes it worth it to attend lecture (which you should do if you want a good grade on exams). Straightforward grading criteria, if you score less than 100 on assignments, you did not read through rubric. Exams are exactly what's discussed during lecture. I would recommend and would take again.

Lecture heavy with real world examples, no textbook required and almost no homework assignments. Easy subject, but know how to study on your own because she will not provide study guides. Three exams, all MCQ, no cheatsheet allowed, and lockdown browser. Pay attention to videos shown in class, they will be tested on the exams.

Great professor that focuses on being fair and transparent. Her classes are lecture heavy but the lectures themselves aren't too content heavy. 3 exams make up the bulk of your grade and aren't too bad if you study. Pro tip: make a cheat sheet yourself to help study.

she was one of the most engaging professors i've had. she had very current examples that kept the lectures refreshing. tests were hard af and made up like 60 or 70% of the final grade. at first i thought she was stuck up and rude, but she's just a very logical person and wants everyone to be as logical as her.
