Reviews of professor Missy Makanui

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Very textbook-heavy course, Professor Makanui is hard to reach via email and typically does not respond.  Exams are based only on textbook content and the lectures covered in class are very vague.  Attendance is taken via TopHat.  Your exam scores pretty much determine your grade.

She was just ok. Nothing great and nothing horrible. She read off slides in class and would ask questions for engagement. The exams for this class are awful. Her lectures do not help at all with them. READ THE TEXTBOOK. Reading each chapter and finding vocab quizlets before each exam will help you pass.

Professor Makanui was a great professor. Her lectures were a little droning but thats because they are super powerpoint heavy. 5 tests taken at delta which does suck, but as long as you find or make a good quizlet covering the terms you will be fine. She really takes a shine to you if you participate in class and wants to help you reach an answer.

Lectures are very PowerPoint heavy. Attendance is mandatory! The class overall is easy, getting there at 8:30am was the hardest part. Test aren't too bad you just need to know a lot of terms.

I took this class over the summer so it was fully online. Tests had to be taken at the testing center or through a proctoring system. The grading criteria is pretty clear and she tells you exactly what to expect. Reading the textbook and watching the videos is important if you want to do well. Purchasing textbook is required for hw activities.

Missy isn't awful, the class is just hard for no reason. You'll feel confident during the tests and then receive your grade and it's not what you expect. Apparently she doesnt even create the tests so her material doesnt cover half of the exam questions. Only good thing is homeworks are weighted heavy so if you fail the exams you can still pass

This class was very difficult coming in as a first-semester freshman. The exams were very difficult and were taken at the delta testing center, which sucks! She told us that the PowerPoint lectures would be on the exam, but nothing from them was there. You had to memorize the entire textbook to make a good great literally. There are 5 exams total.

Extremely long and boring lectures that provide little to no use for the class. Highly suggest going over the McGraw Hill smartbooks for the test.

Professor Makanui does a good job giving real world examples and applications of business concepts during lectures. This is a good introductory business course that covers a wide range of topics and Mrs. Makanui adds business expertise to the course.
