This professor is a very good person, with a great heart, and is overall an excellent teacher. However her notes are good, but it sometimes does get very boring, but it is not her fault. She is crystal clear in explaining everything you must know for the exams, but you must READ, READ,READ,READ,AND THEN READ MORE BECAUSE THE TEXT BOOK IS IMPORTANT!

Make sure you come to class prepare. She is very understanding and she actually makes law very interesting. No homework, only a midterm and a final.

The course is pretty easy if you show up to class, stay engaged, take notes, and try to participate a little bit. We were only graded based on the midterm and final, which are easy as long as you study and take notes. The only downside is that there are no slides, so most of your notes have to come from the textbook. Overall, I would recommend it.

This professor is very caring and she would give extra credits for the final exams for every student. She doesn't have HWs, papers, and projects for her students. You just need to read the textbook and pass her exams, you will easily get an "A" mark.

Professor B makes her classes enjoyable, even for the morning. She knows how to get her students engaged, participate, smile, and enjoy the class. She uses examples about real companies and recent activities that relate to the course. Having life knowledge of the subject helps remember it. Show up for class, read the chapters and you'll do great!

If all of the staff at BC were as passionate, knowledgeable, dedicated, and well-spoken as Professor Birnbaum- our school would be amazing. Her class made me enthusiastic about college again. Take a course with Professor Birnbaum if you want to be inspired. Idk how Brooklyn College got lucky enough to hire her, but students are very grateful!

The best professor I've had and probably ever. The only class I loved to attend, she loves her subject and shares a lot of real-life applications of the class. One of the exams was online which was a plus. You would need a textbook but it is free online. Super positive and had a lot of jokes in class. Willing to learn from her students! BEST PROF!!

course grade heavily depends on midterm and final, each 45%, 90% total. Lectures didn't really prepare me properly to take exams with confidence as multiple choice questions included mostly examples that were hard to distinguish. While I ended up with A, it was too risky due to heavy exams and results took too long which was too much emotionally.

Read the textbook, go to the lectures and you'll pass. Grade depends on only 2 exams, don't let that frighten you; Marketing is mainly memorization, and you'll be okay if you do what she says. Her lectures are engaging, she is clearly passionate about what she does and she tells us interesting stories.

Where do I start. I hated college up until I took professor Birnbaum. Her lectures are so entertaining and really keep your mind going. Midterm + Final make up 90% of your grade and the other 10% is attendance, but believe me... you're going to love attending this class. You'd be crazy not to take this class.

She is truly caring and wants her students to succeed. Even in a bigger lecture class, she makes sure to get to know every student. There is only a midterm and a final in her class which are both online on blackboard. Textbook readings after every class plus some focus questions but nothing intense at all. She is very accommodating.

Professor Birnbaum's lectures are engaging and really bring the material to life. While the exams make up a big portion of the grade, using unstuck study alongside the textbook can help you ace them. Definitely a class worth taking!
