Comment:

Dr. Birou was one of the most influential professors I had in graduate school. Her level or rigor demanded a higher-level of performance. Yet, the work was enjoyable and impactful. Dr. Birou created a learning atmosphere the encourage cooperation among our peers, thinking on our own and looking outside of the text book for answers and solutions.

There are professors you forget, professors you remember, and then there are professors who change your life. Dr. Birou is someone who can help you develop into the best version of yourself. I owe much of my very successful career to lessons she taught me. My Personal Success Paper became my roadmap for the last 15 years of my life.

Comment:

Laura's marketing class was life-changing. I appreciated the level of rigor her research papers demanded. The toughest was the PERSONAL SUCCESS PAPER. It was the highlight of my grad school years. I learned about my mission in life and the importance of aligning my values with my work. Upon graduation, I switched careers from finance to education.

Comment:

I really enjoyed Dr. Bird's class. It was a management/supply chain class, but what I learned most in the class (that I still use today) were related to writing and structuring a written document. She's tough, but memorable and definitely recommended.

FOrtunate to have crossed paths, I owe my succes in life to Laura Birou. To say her classes are difficult is innacurate unless you are lazy - its that simple. Do the work and you WILL succeed in her class. Taking it a step further, her heart bleeds for her students - she wants nothing more than for each to do well in life - not just in her class.

Comment:

Dr. Birou made a lasting impression on my time at St. John's University. The learning experience with her was dynamic and challenging. We were presented with concepts and given stories and anecdotes to relate them to the real-life work situation. I would definitely take another class under her instruction.

Professor Birou will take you to places you never thought you could go! You will learn every thing there is to know about the subject matter. When you receive your syllabus stick to it and you will love every minute of Professor Birou! Real world teaching from an expert. Attendance i don't think is mandatory. You wont want to miss a class.

The most rediculous class I ever took. Had US teaching the class and the CUMULATIVE final was on the whole book she didn't teach. Made us write a 50 page paper that she is obsessed with and had NOTHING to do with marketing.

DO NOT TAKE HER!! She is totally unfair, gives way too much work and is way too full of herself. She expects the impossible from you. She is just too difficult...

do not waste your time taking her especially if MGT is not your major. You will learn a lot but you have to put in a substantial amount of time to do well in the class. She is completely full of herself. All of her personal stories get annoying too.

Comment:

She is too fast paced. You have to do a paper of 20+ pages along with all the other chapter homeworks and such. The paper has NOTHING to do with the class and takes up ALOT of time. Final is cumulative and she does not review anything.
