Reviews of professor Rachel Stewart

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Outlined directly in her syllabus, getting up in class to use the restroom is "rude" and does not permit students to go. Material is competition based and you rank classmates' presentations and get graded accordingly. Her midterm/final are open response answers which she grades arbitrarily with no rubric depending on if she likes you or not.

RUN AWAY DO NOT TAKE HER. THIS IS MY FIRST TIME DOING RATE MY PROFESSOR AND IT IS BECAUSE OF HER. THIS ONE CLASS WITH GIVE ME WORKLOAD EQUIVALENT TO ALL MY OTHER CLASS COMBINE. SHE IS THE WORST PROFESSOR EVER. GIVE OUT UNCLEAR INSTRUCTION ABOUT ASSIGNMENT. WHENEVER YOU DIDN'T MEET HER STANDARD SHE WILL DEDUCT GRADE DUE TO PROFESSIONISM.

Professor Stewart was by far one of my favorite professors I had during my time at NU. I was sad to have met her only during my senior year because I would have loved to spend more time with her and pick her brain as she has a wealth of knowledge about the marketing world. I highly recommend her and any classes she's offering! Gained so much!

Boring lectures but passionate, has a final group presentation where your grade is partly evaluated by your peers for some reason. Many homework's but easy to get A's. Tests are a bunch of tiny case studies and are graded harshly and subjectively.

One of my better professors at Northeastern. She is big on lecture participation, but the lectures are easy to understand so it is not hard to give opinions on the topics covered. Final grades are curved. She is very knowledgable about marketing and takes student feedback. Downsides are group work, and tests are based heavily on the textbook.

I liked the material in this class, and Prof. Stewart is very passionate about marketing, but it was so much more stressful than it should have been. Two major assignments are based on competition between classmates, like part of the final is graded based on rankings from your peers. I've never had a professor/teacher run a class like this.

has great lectures and you can tell she cares about marketing however you don't know your grade the entire semester and makes you cram a project in two weeks that no other marketing professor does. i enjoyed the class but there's odd things she does. don't even get me started on having to be ranked and graded by your peers on your final project.

I have two issues, the course and the professor. I want to start with Professor Stewart's ignorance, nobody's perfect granted, but I cannot respect someone who makes simple mistakes whether it is misgendering someone or mixing up the names of minority students. The course feels too tedious for an intro to marketing class but the content is useful.
