Reviews of professor Esta Shah

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I can't say enough about Dr. Shah. She is the best professor I've had at the College. She is so caring and really respects her students. Her tests are very straightforward and there are never any surprises. I wish she taught more classes because I would take EVERY single one of them. She really wants her students to succeed. TAKE HER!!!

10/10 best professor. If it's an option take her 100% of the time. She helped me land an internship after only knowing me like 3 weeks. Her lectures are engaging. She wants you to learn and understand - not just write down answers.

Very organized, very interesting material. Two group projects. Quizzes every couple weeks are open book and done from home. Exams have study guides. Does take attendance most classes. A few discussion boards that are easy.

Dr Shah does not like students unless they are marketing majors. She was super rude and belittles you during presentations if you don't correctly do it. (even though this is a gen ed class within business school she expects students to love and do great in marketing) She was super unprofessional and was 15 minutes late to our first test.

Excellent job adapting the class to an online format for COVID. Recorded her lectures for each chapter and met as a class about 5 times to discuss specific things, like the writing assignments. 2 tests, with a lot of writing on the #1 and break-even analysis on #2 and a team project to develop a new marketing strategy for a product.

One of the best professors I've had at CofC in my 4 years. She is so caring about her students and funny. She tries to better students and prepare them for life after college in the business world. I had a death in the family and she was so understanding about missing a test & class, she let me take the test whenever I felt like I was ready.

What I thought was going to be my hardest class this semester turned out to be the easiest. I love Dr. Shah & she cares so much about her students. She sent out the 1st test by email (numbers blocked) so that you can look over the test. The second was take home. No final, but a group presentation. The homework is difficult & takes forever though.

Probably the best professor I've ever had at CofC. She cares for her students and is extremely willing to work with you. The first test she gave us a study guide that was the exact copy of the test but with the numbers blocked out. The second test was take home and kind of long, but super doable. 10/10 would recommend. HW is super hard though.

She is SUPER nice and caring, gives Extra Credit, but this course is core for may other marketing courses and my professors assume I learned something in this class. I am unable to perform the tasks that my professors assign based on this class because she literally taught me nothing of value. Didn't take time to really grade our projects/papers.
