Reviews for Rebecca K. Ratner
Average Rating:| Anonymous Course: BMGT451 Grade Expected: B May 23, 2010, 4:01 pm | Take this course with Ratner, she is the best Professor I've had at UMD!! The material is very interesting and she finds ways to make it fun. Also, the projects are fun and the case studies are pretty interesting. Be sure to read the case studies so you get participation credit. Exams are a little rough, don't be surprised if you fail the first one. She's pretty picky BUT gives you legitimate reasons as to why she takes off points. She did take off points for using the wrong word in a paper... that was a bit absurd... but, she's really an amazing teacher. I HIGHLY recommend her. |

The material is very interesting and easy to remember for the most part. The projects are fun and the case studies are really interesting. You really get a good feel for both the psych and business sides of marketing and how they combine. She even involves taste tests and other experiements into the class. Exams are easy,mulitple choice and short answer, based on the slides she hands out each class and talks about and the cases and articles. Take some notes on what is discussed and remeber the examples and you'll be good. GREAT CLASS. |

| mlahey Course: BMGT451 Grade Expected: A | This was one of my favorite classes of all time! I had Prof Ratner and she was wonderful! You will learn a lot--it blends a little psychology, sociology, design, as well as scientific methodology to marketing, which ends up being incredibly fascinating. Marketing is more than just being creative and making things up randomly--there's a lot of strategy and skill needed, as I learned from this class. For marketing majors, and non-mktg-majors alike, I highly recommend this class. And this is not a class where the prof hands out A's on a silver platter to you--your grade will reflect the amount of info you've actually absorbed. But don't worry--it's not difficult. It's interesting and fun, but you do have to give quality effort to get your A. |
