Reviews of professor Merilee McDougal

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
A solid choice for this course. We had individual papers/ppt slides on companies we are interested in which I really enjoyed. The textbook we used is free and online. There is also a group paper and presentation that is worth 30% so hopefully, you aren't stuck with slackers or people who don't communicate.

She definitely makes the class really engaging because you can tell that she is passionate about what she does. Her presentations are super cool full of videos and exercises. No midterm or final at all but you will have 3 projects and 2 of them are in groups. Assignments every week but super easy, reading is not necessary since she covers in class.

 Her grading was incredibly picky and difficult. She does not provide adequate feedback that actually helps you improve your grade. I had an A all semester, but the final project not only brought down my grade in her class but also my nearly perfect GPA for the semester. Really frustrating. Take someone else.

This professor had meticulous assignments due at the end of every week. She scarcely gave out perfect scores and A's and often took off points for small things like her own stylistic preferences. She also put in a lot of grades at the end of the semester. I regret not C/NC-ing this class.

Her class is the kind of class that requires you to be engaged with the material. You cannot write or present random information because you will be graded critically on what information you show on the assignments. You will need to participate a lot in her class. Be ready for the most professional learning experience you'll get in any class.

Quiz and assignments almost every week; reading from the chapter and cases as well- quizzes on them. Get ready to delegate some time to reading. One individual research presentation, and a group project- Make sure you size up your members.

I took MKTG 436 with Professor McDougal. She is super nice. Her class is very engaging. There's a lot of group activities, which makes the class not boring. This class is very useful in my opinion (If you want to prepare for job market out there). I saw that she is teaching Bus 690 and Mktg 649. Hopefully those hard classes will be enjoyable too!

Shes a good teacher overall although quite condescending when you give your opinion on a answer .
