Not very accomidating during pandemic. Big group project, which was very hard due to being online and limited feedback from her. Hard grader with homework. Wish I would have waited to take this class in person because I would have definitely gotten a better grade.

Nothing was good enough unless it came out other own mouth. Very tough grader. Asked her to release her comments on our final presentation (that she said she would release) so we could use them to write the final paper, and she told me to get the critiques from my group member who took notes. Nobody took notes on the entire 20 minute critiques

Comment:
She is very considerate about everyone's limitations and tries to accommodate everyone. But her homeworks are quite long and she grades them very critically. And TB is very important, almost everything is linked to TB

Needed to take this class for my minor and it ended up being the hardest class in my schedule. Makes everything confusing, contradicts herself, uses class time for guest speakers instead of lecturing, and changed the formats of tests 11 weeks into the course.

Comment:
Dr. Gardner is the worst professor I've ever had, and that's saying something. The material isn't difficult at all, but she is the worst at trying to answer questions you may have for anything, especially for the huge group project you are assigned. She is extremely rude as well. I honestly think she never liked me from the start.

Comment:
I truly believe that Dr. Gardner could make learning the ABC's difficult. Going into this class I figured intro to marketing would be an easy A and that the professor didn't really matter "How hard could it be? it's marketing!". Boy was I wrong.

Comment:
She absolutely sucks at teaching and listening to her is like listening to nails scrape against a chalk board. I would never take this class again because I had to teach myself everything. She always left me and my classmates wondering what we had to do for assignments because she rambles on about random stuff the whole time. Shes the WOAT

She's one of the professors that I think believes that she's the only class that people are taking. She has three exams (just mc) and two "in-class assessments" which are exams but completely short answer. The two types alternate but occur like every 3 weeks. AND you have to do this huge project with a group she assigns. Should've been easy. but no

Comment:
If you have the chance to get another professor, do it. She doesnt cover over half of the material on her exams. You dont have to pay attention in class, just memorize concepts and figures from the textbook and youll do fine on the exams (she dropped one exam for my class). She also gives really vague instructions for the group project.

The class is not very hard, but her grading is awful. The exams are ok but read the book because she doesn't cover half of it. The group project is difficult, especially if she does not like your group. She will give you feedback but in my experience she did care whether you took it or not.

Comment:
This teacher is hard to understand and you can't learn from her lectures. She struggles getting her point across. there is a group project where she praises on of her former student's project, but if you follow it exactly like hers, she will tell you it's wrong. The project is too in detailed for an intro class and her exams are slightly difficult.

Comment:
She does not know how to teach or outline material in class that we are going to be tested on. If you have an idea for the group project and it's not something she likes, she won't help you. Her lectures are scattered and disorganized and I regret not dropping this class when I had the chance. Take it from everyone else, do not take her class.

Dont bother taking her. There are much easier 301 professors that wont make you do such an extensive project with such specific criteria. Youre basically screwed if you get put into a bad group.

Comment:
I dont know what other 301 professors are like, but I cant imagine it gets any easier than Gardner. Only work is pretty much the group project. Pick a good product and you'll be fine. Pay attention or watch course capture and theres no reason you won't pass this class.

Comment:
The reviews for Gardner arent very accurate. Her class is pretty easy if you read the book and look at her slides. Ill most likely end with an A. Her class is course capture, and the reviews before the exams are literally the exam. The only difficult part is the class project, which is super annoying, but can get done if you meet with your group.

Worst teacher I have ever had in my life. Insults your intelligence by talking to you like a child. Everything about this class is unfair. Gave my group a C on our final project even though we followed the guidelines to a T. Brought everyone in my group down an entire letter grade. Consider yourself blessed if you never cross paths with this lady

One of the worst Professors I've had here at UD. Rude & Obnoxious. Usually a quick exam taker but took the full time for all 3 exams. Most likely will still end up with a B+ or A- but try to avoid her at all costs.

Exams are waaaaay too long and everyone always runs out of time. Ripped people apart for the final project & going to class was painful. If you can, avoid taking this class
