Comment:

Dr. Einstein brings a wealth of knowledge to the course from her own experiences in the advertising industry without coming off as a braggart. I liked the fact that the class was more of a discourse rather than a lecture. Ideas and opinions were solicited and shared. We were treated as adults, which is something I wholly appreciate.

Comment:

She is not easy at all, you will have to do work to pass, but you will learn. she's the type of professor that's good to keep in contact with even after the semester ends. She knows her stuff and has connections. I failed the class, but I don't blame her. I actually think it was fair. She's a fair grader.

She comes off as intense and even a bit scary at first but I promise she is worth it. If you're willing to work, you'll do great. She wants you not only to succeed but to actually learn. A true intelligent woman who really knows her stuff.

She knows her stuff but has a tendency to making her students feel stupid. Her 101 class was fairly easy, 3 tests and 3 short papers.

Comment:

You learn ALOT in the class but the tests are tricky. Goes through her lectures fairly quick so most of the test is based off the textbook. You need to participate so she remembers you. If you ask her for help, she sometimes adds a smug response which prohibits you from asking another question because you should think about the question again

She really knows what she is doing and she will listen to you. If you participate in class you will do well. All her lectures she puts up on line and she is very clear what she wants. I recommend taking her!

Comment:

At first, I thought she came off as very harsh and stiff, but as the semester went on, it turned out that Prof. Einstein really knows her stuff and how to make the information she's teaching very engaging. Just show up to class, respect her, do your work, and pay attention and you will do fine!

Comment:

Professor Einstein seems very harsh at first, but she's actually a well educated, caring professor. If you need help she is there for you. The down side? Professor Einstein is late to respond to emails, and goes through material very, very quickly. The information is also not appealing.

Comment:

For a 200 elective, I think this class is too much work. You're put in a group that you don't get to pick for the entire semester. If you get a bad group, too bad. The lectures aren't too clear. You really need to do the reading from the text book, as well as the projects, papers, exams. Don't take unless you're really interested in Ad & marketing

Truly inspirational and enlightening class. What a way to end my last semester. Prof. Einstein remains on the top 5 list of professors that actually teach students and preparation for the real world.

Comment:

Professor Einstein is truly a great professor! This is not a bird class if you are looking for an easy A. You actually have to read and show up to class or there is no way you will get a good grade, let alone pass. Bottom line if you care, and show you are trying she will help you. She gives great feedback and always responds to emails.

Comment:

I loved taking class with Professor Einstein. She has high expectations but that's what makes her a great professor. Her class is intense but if you do what you're supposed to do and study, you'll be fine. I would definitely take more classes with Professor Einstein.

Comment:

She is intimidating at first and comes off rude but if you do the homework and take good notes and read the textbook you will be fine. She took attendance in the beginning of the semester but eventually she stopped. She doesn't post her powerpoints on blackboard so if you don't show up you will miss important info that will be on her tests.

Comment:

I have taken all of Professor Einstein's courses. She is tough and her expectations are high, but she is also SUPER helpful and knowledgeable. As is true with EVERY class, if you do the readings and prepare then her classes are really enjoyable . Her assignments are not busy work, they are preparing you for a career.

Comment:

It's really frustrating when she gives us the green light on what to do for a particular assignment and then turns around and criticizes us because apparently everything we do is wrong. I don't particularly care for her condescending attitude towards her students either. I am never taking her classes ever again.

Comment:

Whoever said this teacher is amazing has never been exposed to the real world of advertising. This class is as useless as taking a jacket to the bahamas.Speeds over concepts.Tells u to not worry about 1/2 the things in the pp just because she doesnt know them herself. Assigns an overwhelming amount of work to take up the time shes too lazy 2 teach.

Well...If anyone is interested, google "Mara Einstein" and click on the NY Times article entitled, "Commute to Nowhere." She apparently has a miserable personal life.
