Comment:

You have to pay to take your exams online and are required to have a computer with a web camera for ProctorU. Definitely a negative to pay $20 for your first exam, possibly even for the others! My computer does not have a webcam, so if you don't have a laptop, know a friend for sure. Other than that, easy class. Just a lot of expenses for no reason

Comment:

Naylor seemed very disrespectful to some of my peers and I when it came to asking for guidance with assignments. Whenever either one of us would email her, she would respond in a rude manner and tell us to reread the syllabus. Upon rereading the syllabus, we were still stumped. Very unorganized and messed up on grades constantly. Had to tell her.

Comment:

Although Pr. Naylor might be an expert in marketing, she probably should not be teaching it. Had a semester of frustration because class directions were not clearly defined and syllabus was constantly being edited. Used Cengage and Marketplace (pay for both), three midterms and optional comprehensive final (pay again). Passable but frustrating

Comment:

The class was extremely disorganized, she did not communicate her assignment requirements well and she did not take responsibility for her faults (but will readily reduce your grade if you mess up). She did offer her help in the LAST TWO WEEKS OF THE SEMESTER and was reluctant to responding to our emails. The final was delayed by half an hour.

Comment:

Sadly Dr. Naylor just cannot seem to get it together. Every week she forgets to post lectures and is having tech trouble. On the day of the FINAL we had to delay 20 minutes because she didn't have them printed out. She's all over the place, take another prof if you can. Easy to pass, just study slides and do hw but the lectures are just painful.

Comment:

Professor Naylor is very nice and extremely knowledgable but her class is unorganized. If you don't show up to class you will get confused and miss out on points. 4 exams but you can drop your lowest score. So do well on the first 3 exams and you won't have to take the final. It is hard to know what to study but if you put in time you will do well.

Comment:

Dr. Naylor is a nice lady, but her policies absolutely frustrate me. She has 5pm due times, an incredibly strict tardy policy, and her carrot (participation) points are very disorganized. The material isnt hard though, as long as you do the online homework and study a couple hours before the test, youll be fine.

Class was okay but I do not feel prepared at all for the real marketing world. Even though it's an online class I'd expect someone like her to still teach and customize a lesson once in a while.

Comment:

The class was stupid and the simulation was pointless but I'm glad I took summer and didnt have to deal with Ms. Naylor for a full semester. I came from CSN where teachers would ACTUALLY teach, quiz, and test, even in an online course. All UNLV did was charge me for the 3 credits and for the online materials so the teacher could just do nothing.

Comment:

Naylor is a nice professor, but I disliked the simulation. It seemed like we were making good decisions (we read the case study) but we ended up with a not-so-good grade. Luckily, there was extra credit, which helped a lot. The tests were pretty easy, except the 2nd one which had some questions about things that weren't in the lecture.

Nice professor. Gives a lot opportunities to do well in this class. 3 exams with a 4th one being optional. Extra credit. Group simulation is redundant. Test are based on lectures (lectures are a mix of her personal opinions, current events, and book material), so you need to show up or know someone who takes great notes.

Comment:

Grading based off 3 exams (you take 4 exams, drops the worst grade) and a simulation. Classes felt useless but her tests were lecture heavy it was weird didn't like her teaching. Simulation was easy for me but I know a lot of people struggled with it. Make an excel spreadsheet to map everything out and make it easier for yourself.

Comment:

I personally do not resonate well with this professor. I have had her for multiple classes. She stutters a lot and is not clear during her lectures. Studying the lectures on your own is the only way to grasp on the concepts. The online simulation are not fun and I never learned anything from them.

Comment:

Definitely a very smart professor with a lot of experience in the Marketing field. Has valuable insight. Make sure you do every single New Shoes round or you won't get credit, and it's a huge part of the grade. Does not round or give extra credit. Attendance not mandatory but some test questions come from the lectures.

Her class was a lot of fun and very informative. She is very smart and you get a lot of the class, it is not unnecessarily difficult, as long as you show up to class and pay attention, you will do well. Grades are based off of 3 exams and 1 (solo) project. Would really want to take her again.

Comment:

The class was ok. The lectures were interesting but a little hard to follow. Exams are kind of hard because it's a ton of definitions so you need to memorize. She made us do this simulation called New Shoes over the course of the semester which I ended up failing because I had no idea how to do it. I thought it was stupid and not helpful.

Dr. Naylor is a wonderful person, and very smart and knowledgeable when it comes to marketing and brands and all that, but her lectures can often be very difficult to follow according to what the book or the program says we should be studying. I stopped showing up for class did the homework online and still passed the class. Very confusing teacher

Comment:

Dr. Naylor lets the online software do most of the teaching. If you read, study, and meet her on office hours for the paper you will be fine. She is a tough grader. Just don't be late or she will never forget it.
