She is an awesome instructor. Definitely engage with her in class and outside. She loves talking about anything. There is so much to learn from her. Biggest value from this class was the amount of opportunities she gives you to get involved in marketing and creative opportunities like 22squared and Zimmerman advertising.

She is a wonderful professor and knows how to teach. She isn't a stereotypical professor who just teaches from powerpoints. She introduces you to the professional world and makes you work hard for it in groups but it is totally worth it. She shares her experience with you.

Best teacher at USF! If literally can achieve a B+ with minimal effort. Wish I could take more classes with her! Lives Marketing and knows the Market! Her shoe game is FIRE. What professor at USF comes to class wearing Gucci? None of them! Except Professor Osborne !

Prof Carol is one of the most amazing teachers that I have come across at USF. She not only has a thorough level of knowledge about marketing but she adopts wonderful techniques to teach. You will never be bored during her lectures. The class is mainly 3 exams and the finals is optional. She offers a lot of extra credit. It an easy A, just focus.

I loved Professor Osborne! We had 3 big speeches during the semester and the last one was done with a partner. She gives you a lot of opportunities to get comfortable speaking to the class. One of the funniest teachers I've ever had! Always told really interesting stories and gave great career and life advice.

She is probably the funniest and the most easy going professor out there. I took her for professional selling and it was the easiest and most fun class ever. She makes the material easier than anything else.

Comment:

If you read the assigned textbook chapters, define all the marketing terms highlighted in the book, and study her hit lists before the exams, you should have no trouble getting an A on her tests. The exams are mainly remembering definitions and applying the terms. Also, with the amount of extra credit, an A is easily attainable.

Comment:

Great professor! This class is EASY if you read the textbook and show up to class. Stay on top of reading the material, you'll get an A. She makes lectures interesting since she's hilarious and gives LOTS of extra credit. It would be hard to not do well in her class. Only grades were 3 tests, and the 4th (final) is cumulative but optional. Amazing.

Comment:

Professor Osborne is the BEST Business professor I have taken at USF. Her 30+ years in the field allow her to create a class that you can apply to a future job. Do your best and you'll get a good grade. She wants effort, not perfection. There are a couple of group projects. No hw, go to class. She ignited my passion for marketing! Take her!

This is my second time in her class and I'm registered for a third in the future because she's amazing. Her class should replace public speaking classes because she made all of her students better speakers in relaxed, less pressuring ways. This class is fun and useful for many different career paths even outside of business all thanks to her.

Carol is a must take professor if you are a marketing major. No class or instructor has ever left me feeling more confident and prepared. She cares a lot about her students and works really hard to make sure they learn real life skills. You will be so glad that you took her. I only wish I had her earlier in my college career.

Comment:

I have no problem with business professors at USF, but this was my least favorite. She just gets very off topic when she teaches so going to her lectures is not necessary, which seems like a waste of my money. If you read the textbook you will easily pass the class. It is not a hard class but she does not make the class interesting.

Carol is the best professor I've ever taken at USF. Extremely funny and helpful with students and always looks out for them. She will challenge you to become a better student and future business professional. If you are a marketing major, it is very important to take her before you go into the business world.

She gives great career advice. She bounces around during her lectures which can be a little annoying. She's strategic with her jokes (i.e. she plays towards her audience). She expects you to know your stuff. Overall, I would recommend her to anyone who wants a serious career in marketing or advertising. Secretly takes attendance.

Professor Osborne is great. She makes her lectures interesting with jokes and stories, you can go up to her after class and she'll answer your questions, gives out a lot of extra credit, and there's only three tests-no homework or quizzes, but read the book for tests to ensure an A.

Comment:

I took basic marketing. It was an easy class. I didn't go to class. I studied a "hit list" she gave before every test and read the textbook and received a B average on all of my exams. I ended up pulling an A- because she gives a lot of easy extra credit. So make sure you take advantage of it! It could be the difference between an B and an A.

More of a stand-up comedian than an actual professor. Just read the book and you'll get an A or a B.
