Reviews of professor Eliane Karsaklian

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Took this as an elective thinking it will be a breeze. Do not do that. You will not pass. If youre really interested in the subject matter, this teacher is not bad. Do not really learn anything in the class thats not already known.

There's no doubt that she's a tough grader! However, she is an excellent professor who knows her material well!! You can easily communicate with her, attend her classes, and ask questions she helps clear things.

Grade is based off 3 grades and they are all papers. Must attend office hours or watch recordings to know exactly what is expected of you for each assignment. Otherwise you will get a bad grade w. some direct feedback. 
Very knowledgeable professor, her response time is very quick.

This is the professor for you if you like wasting time and money! As a senior on the deans list this is BY FAR the worst professor I've every had. I have never left a review for a professor before but Eliane was SO BAD that I made an account just for this. She tried telling me a sales promotion isn't a type of marketing strategy. SAVE YOUR MONEY!

Dr. Karsaklian is incredible. International Negotiation was an awesome class. Everyone participates, the work outside the classroom was nothing extraordinary, and everything we did was interesting and enjoyable. Our final whole class negotiation was such a great experience. Highly recommended, you'll get a lot from her class if you make an effort

DONT. Im an A student, and this teacher is the worse teacher I ever had at UIC. Explanations are not clearly stated (as she claims) you will find out you are wrong until she gives you a bad grade. She would compare you with other students(in a bad way). If you want to pass this class attend to her online hours and ask even what you shouldnt ask

Her language for the grading criteria for her assignments are ambiguous, worded very confusingly, and can be misinterpreted easily. 

Additionally, her grading is very heavily subjective and unforgiving, having tunnel vision with only her perspective. 

Poor combination of weaknesses for a professor. I'd take it with someone else, too much risk.

I'm not entirely sure why there are so many negative reviews of Professor Karsaklian. She is funny, down to earth, and very knowledgeable! We had 3 group projects, 1 individual assignment, and an exam. If you put in the work and show your interest, you will be fine. There is even an extra credit opportunity if you need it.

Professor Karsaklian assigns a lot of group projects. Most of the projects given involve doing marketing research on a very small scale or evaluating marketing tactics of other companies. Overall, she keeps her lectures very interesting.
