Comment:

She was highly disorganized. We'd be assigned a weekly discussion post which SHOULD post by Monday & be due the following Sunday, but she would post it late in the week or in the FOLLOWING week or not at all. She says she won't accept late assignments but then does. Have us REDO assignments via Word because there was a Blackboard "glitch". Messy.

Comment:

Shes is not your typical professor and at times she can be contradicting with the case studies but she does try to help a lot outside of class! She is curriculum chair and if you got to her she will try her best. She does go off topic sometimes but its about relevent stuff never about boring stuff !

Comment:

So unorganized and so annoying. Can't explain group projects well at all and changes what she says constantly THEN spends all of class talking about herself. During GROUP TIME she tries to explain the projects (AND NOT LET US WORK ON IT) but contradicts other things she says. She doesn't know how to work computers or respond to emails.

She is really nice and understanding! Tests are online and for the marketing final project she gives you alot of extra credit if you make it not boring! Will use text book for keywords weekly

Absolutely horrible teacher . Class is project based yet she doesnt give you a clear outline of what you even have to do or what is assigned . Extremely unorganized . Doesnt grade any of the work you do so you have no idea how youre doing in the class . I feel like Ive learned absolutely nothing this semster . Stay away !!!

Comment:

I have Professor Fein for Consumer Behavior and Marketing Management, both classes are terrible. Both classes are project based which wouldn't be an issue if she actually explained what the project was. She makes us track one thing one for a few weeks then jumps to another thing and makes us track that. Her lectures aren't even lectures. STAY AWAY

Wouldn't take her class again. Moves too quick with material that is very, very difficult. Doesn't explain anything well. All she does is speak about herself and her life.

Comment:

Contantly talks about her personal life and job history. Learned more about her success than the actual class. If homework is not done prior to class, you will be marked absent reguardless if you attend. First day of class she asked students to write good things about her on this website. Course is easy but she makes it difficult to learn.

Comment:

I can tell this professor is very unorganized. Took her course online. Didn't learn a thing. A lot of teachers upload their stuff on monday so students will have all week to do the work. She will always post on wednesdays , thursdays . Took her weeks to grade things. Don't think she knows how to use blackboard .

Comment:

I have had amazing marketing teachers in my life but professor Fein was not one of them. She is UNORGANIZED and does not explain anything in depth, when someone asks questions she raises her voice. Her grading process is difficult to understand and you will not get your grade on any assignments until the semester is almost over.

Phyllis Fein is a great professor! She is a very smart professional who has worked for big companies in the past so she is very experienced and is very willing to help you land a job or an internship. We had group projects every week this semester which was a lot of work but they are not hard. Be wary of being the only one doing all of the work.

Professor Fein is my curriculum chair for my Marketing degree and it was a pleasure to have her as a professor! She gives an overview of the entire semester on her syllabus and follows it weekly. If you keep up with the work and submit when due she will grade fairly. Follow the criteria and use the vocabulary! You'll be sure to do fine.

Professor Fein inspired me to pursue marketing. She directed me from one great opportunity to another. She is easy going, funny and realistic when it comes to behaviors in the real world. Trust her because she knows what she is talking about when it comes to marketing in the corporate workplace.

Comment:

She seldom gave feedback on assignments especially to her online students. She had a fantastic course outline she never followed. I pride myself in taking on any course with ease, but the class was so vague and lacked substance. Be advised if you are taking her course, you will self teach yourself the whole semester.

Comment:

Terribly disorganized as a professor and as chair of the department. I emailed her between semesters asking an important question that would help me secure a huge scholarship at my next college and she just ignored it. I don't know how she's still chair of the marketing department; she can't even respond to a student's email.
