Difficult to reach; Doesn't answer or return phone calls or emails. Practice what you preach Ms. Gundy. Wouldn't recommend this instructor

Has a preference towards certain students in the class. Gets defensive very easily when students ask questions to simply try to understand material better.

This class involves a lot of work! She is always there to help and wants you to succeed in a career. She has a lot of connection for work after school so stay on her good side! Just be prepared to work hard! The class really prepares you for a business career, not just professional selling! HIGHLY recommended

Comment:

Treats every student like a Kindergartner. If you are 30 seconds late she kicks you out. She rambles on about stories and doesn't teach anything. Needless networking assignments where you have to write cards and mail them to business professionals. The least helpful professor I have ever had. Most hassle for learning absolutely nothing. Run.

Comment:

Gundy is a sales rep for the professional selling program. The class is just a feeder for the sales program the college is trying to push, also it's mandatory for MAR majors. It's classic bait and switch. She is all inspiring and motivational for the first few weeks of class, then in the back half, she checks out and doesn't care about the student.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE HER, seriously I never say this on reviews but people should be warned. If you're 30 seconds late to class she'll kick you out, even though she is late frequently. Has no idea how to teach you have to teach yourself everything. Asinine projects, spend so much money on her stupid assignments. Never uses webcourses, takes forever to grade

Comment:

The biggest joke of a professor I have ever experienced. She treats her class like kindergarten, crossword puzzles, etc. Then she expects you to know every minute detail from the book and lecture. All she does is talk about herself and then asks students to do the same. No experience in the industry, no idea how she still has a job here. DONT TAKE!

WORST PROFESSOR EVER! I don't how this kind of people can exist! She grades based on whether she likes you or not. If you need help SHE WOULD BE EXTREMELY RUDE TO YOU. SHE IS SO RUDE, SHE ONLY CARES ABOUT HER, AND SHE BS A LOT! DO NOT TAKE HER, AND IF YOU ARE ONE MINUTE LATE, SHE WOULD POINT AT YOU IN FRONT OF THE CLASS. HATE HER WITH MY LIFE!!!!!!

Comment:

As everyone said, tough grader, but it's manageable. She seems nice until you actually have a problem or questions her on anything, then she kind of becomes rude. I don't like when you can't reason with a teacher. The absolute worst part is that she takes FOREVER to grade things and then not put them in the webcourses.

Comment:

This is my 2nd class with Professor Gundy and I cannot say enough good things about her. Sure, she's a tough grader. Sure, you have to work for your grade. But I suffer from extremely severe ADD and find her lecture style extremely easy to pay attention to, leading me to doing well on exams and not having a problem with the rigor of the course.

Comment:

Literally the worst class I have taken at UCF, first ever teacher review, but she was so terrible I had to let everyone know. You will learn nothing, but you have to go to class because anything she says (jokes, random tidbits) might be on the test. Avoid taking her unless you hate yourself.

Comment:

Content is interesting enough, but Gundy makes the class way harder than it should be. Tests on SMALL details from book+class lectures. I'm a straight A, honors student who is going to get a B. 7 person group project- didn't warn us about one of the due dates (buried in a paragraph in the rubric) so we lost 10% of that grade before really starting

Comment:

I have been saving this class for my last semester because it is what I was most excited for, but Gundy definitely ruined this for me. Her only experience in the industry is working at a book store. You can tell how outdated her info for the class was going to be. Lecture are students' shared experiences. She has almost none except from a basic.

Comment:

The class is horrible. The lectures give you very little information about marketing in the entertainment industry. Rather learn more about marketing instead of just boring stats of the industries. As big as movies and music are in entertainment, we get two lecture days of each. Why is shopping covered in class? I don't care about student opinions.

Comment:

This professor won't fix her own mistakes after "two weeks". Also the tests are "tough" because she tests on COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT material. She talks mostly about herself the entire semester so any actual course information you'll be tested on comes from the (sorry excuse for a) book. Make sure you stay on top of her grade inputs on webcourses.

Comment:

I have never written a review but I had to for her. She is the WORST professor I have ever had. Did well in the class but she goes out of her way to look for reasons to lower your grade. She seems like she is willing to help students but in reality she is fake and rude. She basically uses the class to make herself feel important.

Comment:

Isn't hard conceptually, but it's just like an AP class in terms of the workload. Do things right the first time, because the extra credit is more time consuming than the actual assignments. Two tests - average difficulty. Makes you jump through hoops. Only allowed to be late 3 times before you "can't stay" for class. ATTENDANCE NECESSARY.

She mostly talked about her life in class and did not mention anything that we needed to know for exams. Exams were really hard, average in class was 65. Grading of assignments is not fair, she mostly grades out of her likedislike of a person. Don't take this class

Professor Gundy is amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed her class. She is a tough grader and expects a lot of work to be put in from her students. She is consistent, though, and has quickly become my favorite professor.

The class is great. Professor has excellent lectures, but very POOR one on one skills with students. She is very rude. Don't approach her with any questions or concerns about the material, the lecture, or group project. She speaks down to you.
