Reviews of professor Brittany Mercado

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I took Dr. Mercado over the summer. Grading criteria was extremly unclear with a points system rather than out of 100. Group projects for an online class were almost impossible. Grading seemed very subjective to her opinions. Tests/quizzes included questions we didn't learn. It seemed like assignments were meant to trip you up. Wouldn't take again

My favorite professor this semester. Be prepared to participate to do well but she will make you want to. Very likable, definitely knows her stuff and knows how to get you to care and want to learn. tests are not easy so be sure to study and come prepared but it's not overly difficult material, you get a cheat sheet, and there's barely any homework

Professor Mercado is one of the best teachers at Elon University. She cares heavily about the material, and it shows in her teachings. Her classes are very conversational and fun. She's very kind and easy to talk to. With that said, you need to participate a lot to do well in her class. Her tests are challenging, so studying is crucial.

Most people did poorly on the first exam but while the material may seem easy you need to study a lot because the questions are all situational based and require a deep thinking of the material. She means well and is a good professor who cares about the material a lot. Overall, a decently easy class and she is very understanding

Long lectures that are read right off the slides. Tests are a lot harder than they need to be and no curving. The tests are also very hard to study for. During class she will make heavy eye contact with you until you raise your hand. Don't take her if you can avoid it.

Professor Mercado-Martinez is a solid management professor. She is likeable, but tests are tricky - don't expect to do overly well on the first one. 3 tests, 2 group assignments are the only grades for the semester. Definitely would take again.

Took professor Mercado last spring. Nice woman, but lets her opinions get in the way of important material. Misses great ideas due to her narrow mindset. Exploits why she is teaching, and not working in a large company as one with her levels of education would. Would take as a last resort there are better options to get the most out of the class.

Mercado is my favorite professor at Elon so far. Attendance is not mandatory but you'll realize early on that if you don't go, you won't know what's going on. Very good lecturer and knows how to get the class incorporated in the lesson. Extremely fair grader. Very thorough, quick, and caring. Take.
