Comment:

The majority of the course is based on the TJX project and she chooses her favorite group to get an A, and the rest have to try and get a B or C. Not very helpful if you need help on the project even though it is worth so much. You learn nothing in class since lectures are mostly just her talking about her family.

Prof. McCarty is very nice and cheerful and makes her classes fun and interesting. HOWEVER the workload is ridiculous and she is a REALLY tough grader. Would not recommend

WOULD NOT recommend. really tough grader, instructor did not positively encourage student feedback. if a student gave a wrong answer, she would say no, no no. did not use time efficiently, poor teaching methods. talks too much about history rather than business. ITS a required BUSINESS class

One big midterm exam. She is such a hard grader though. Great professor and does make class fun, I will give her that. But if you are trying to take org b for an easy A... this is not the professor you want.

Comment:

Professor McCarty is one of the nicest professors I've had at Northeastern. She was always cheery and funny, even at 8am on a Monday. The biggest grade in the class is a massive group project (all sections have to do), she grades this tougher than any other professor. Participation is 20%, only gives "a handful" of students an A for it.

Great professor. Very helpful in preparation of the final presentation worth 15% of your grade for the semester. Take this class

Comment:

In a subject that has a lot of different interpretations, this professor had a "my way or highway" policy. No professional experience to bring to class, and doesn't allow for student interpretation of theories.

If you want grey hair like hers take this class. She has unrealistic expectations about the outcome of the class and thrives off her tenure instead of teaching.

Comment:

Literally the worst teacher I've had at Northeastern.. no idea how they've let her get away with teaching this class for so long when she is absolutely awful.. actually told our class that we should aim to get a c in the class because they means you are performing at an average level. DO NOT TAKE THIS WITH HER

Comment:

One of the worst teachers I have ever had. Completely ridiculous policies and is not worth paying to take her class. Her reading assignments and frequent quiz/tests are redundant. Unfortunately she does not teach you however makes you read instead. In addition her text books are not cohesive.

Comment:

Professor McCarty was my favorite professor for my first semester at Northeastern. She is super helpful, but you must put in effort and approach her if you need help. She cares about her students, and she's a really great teacher.

Comment:

She is such a stereotype. This class is stupid and boring. Spending 1 hour listening the nonsense three days a week is killing me. She just try so hard to let her students become one of the fab4 that can keep her reputation. I just hate her.

Just stay away with her!! She is arrogant and useless. I just cant figure out why Northeastern hire her. This class is stupid. If you get on her side and kiss up to her, you will be totally safe, otherwise, you will be screwed. She is the teacher I hate most in my freshmen yr.

Excellent textbook and choice of case studies. Graduate level MBA course so expect to study hard. Feedback is weak. Speaks to what you failed to do rather than confirming you're on right track. A bit arrogant. Little direction.

Mccarty helps you with the business plan- the main part of your grade- throughout the semester. You must prove yourself to her- if you work your ass off, its going to pay off :) shes a great teacher, helped me so much.. do your textbook reading for quizzes. all in all, she will reward you when you work hard.

Comment:

You have to do more than what she expected. You'll do a business plan and she'll help you out all the way. Read the assigned readings and you have to really understand the reading. She really cares for you though. She will help you fix the presentaion to make it the perfect presentation. This is not an easy class.

Comment:

She is horrible. Fo r the first 5 or so quizzes atleast 5 people would go up to her asking why they got a question wrong. She would basically just say "because" even though they had answered the question correctly. BAD TEACHER.

A lot of work to get an A and a hard grader. Liked the course content for the most part. No exams, just daily quizzes and cases.
