Reviews of professor Marie-France Nelson

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
You can tell she is a nice person and out of class, I'm sure she is wonderful. In class, however, she is unorganized, confusing, and rude. She was gone for almost three weeks of our semester leading up to our Pitch Presentation. She will call on you randomly, is extremely passive-aggressive, and does not know how to grade or use technology.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Very tough grader. I have put more work into this class compared to any of my others and I still can't get more than a C from her half the time. If you listen to her criticisms and fix your mistakes she'll continue to find new issues in every assignment and presentation.

Awful, business communications should be an easy introductory course but Professor Nelson made it one of the most stressful courses all semester. She was an incredible tough grader with unclear feedback, and difficult to talk to through email or office hours. If you can prevent taking Professor Nelson, do it.

Terribly structured course. Left for 2 weeks while students were expected to prepare a business slide and pitch with no contact with Professor Nelson. Grading and rubrics are strict and unclear all together. Slightly passive-aggressive as well. Definitely look for someone else if you plan on taking this class.

she ruined my GPA. she will take off points for ambiguous things that aren't on rubrics. avoid her if you want a good grade

Professor Nelson is incredibly unwilling to understand any of her students needs and offers no help to boost grades or give opportunity for extra credit. She grades extremely difficultly and unfairly. Do not take this class if you want a good grade.

DUDE. this woman loves her horse and her "hubby" like more than anything and it is so bizarre.  super lecture heavy class, lots of homework and projects, very strict grading, and VERY mandatory attendance.  she'll cold call so make sure you are paying attention and actually do the homework because she will call on you by name and expect an answer.
