Comment:
Pharr is such a sweet and kind person personally. But as a professor, she is extremely hard. I would study for 2 weeks on her exams to make low 60s. There is no study guides. She grades homework very hard too. Two of my exam she ended up curving one (by 4 points...) and offering extra credit for one. You must read the book, still hard to do well.

Comment:
Content be a bit bland. A large portion of the class is about a simulation which is performed in groups. I felt like I had to learn more about that game than about learning the content of the class. Very picky about grading and wording.

Talks the entire class time, but nothing is learned. Will ramble on about nothing pertaining to the chapter, and gets aggravated when people lose focus. Seems scatterbrained, not focusing on the lecture.

Dr. Pharr is a good professor. She really knows her stuff when it comes to Sales Marketing. She explains things thoroughly. Yes, she does take up the majority of class with lecture, but she has the sweetest southern accent. She almost reminds you of a high school teacher. She's very sweet.

Comment:
It is unfortunate this class is required & only one Professor teaches it. Grading on important group papers can take up to three weeks and is extremely strictly graded. PowerPoint Lectures and custom-written required reading are lengthy and do not always connect to the text. Tests have unrealistically short time limits. Avoid Dr. Pharr if you can.

Comment:
The least informative, least helpful, and absolute worst professor I have had in two graduate degrees. Leaves teaching to a textbook and simulation software, provides no real instruction or guidance, has little or no experience in her field, and creates tests and assignments with a lot of meaningless picky content which is just meant to catch you.

This class is awful. She takes attendance but it's not worth going because I could learn more by just reading the book. The simulations are dumb they don't help to learn for tests. Take someone else

Comment:
Dr. Pharr is the worst marketing professor we have here at Tech. You will question why you even went to class because you learn nothing. AVOID HER AT ALL COSTS. Hear my warning. Her exams are based from the book so you practically have to memorize the whole book to do well in the class. The average exam grade is usually in the 60's.

Comment:
She is one of the worst professors I've ever had. Her tests are difficult, and they do not match anything she teaches. She does not even know what she is talking about, and she often stumbles over and corrects herself. She never comes to a clear conclusion. She talks all class, but she says nothing. I learn everything by reading my book.

She just reads off the chapter powerpoints and then giving you a 50 multiple choice test on ilearn administered in the computer lab. If you study the pwrpts you will make a B/C at least, don't know many who made A's. The end of year project is long but you have partners. If you don't do well on the tests though you wont do well overall which sucked

Dr. Pharr is a great professor. You may have homework and assignments, but she will grade them in a timely matter and make sure that you get feedback from them. I would choose her in a heartbeat before the other marketing professors at Tech.

Good luck if you've got Dr. Pharr. If you can avoid her courses, do yourself a favor and take someone else. Tons of homework, attendance is taken, although I'm not sure how much it really counts for, and no clear guidelines. You might go to class and take a personality quiz, who knows...

This is my major and shes the worst teacher Ive ever had. She rambles on and on about nothing important. The tests are excruciatingly hard. The homework is ridiculous. She explains nothing in class that would be helpful in our assignments. I honestly want to change my major simply because of her.

Dr. Pharr is a nice person, but she can't teach. This was one of the worst classes I've ever taken. Her lectures have nothing to do with homework or tests. For the projects she assigns, she's not straightforward with what she's looking for. When I started skipping class and only reading the book, I did better on tests if that tells you anything.

Dr. Pharr loves marketing and it shows. She's also helpsome and want the best for her students. She is not overly structured and not too tech savy. This sometimes results in wasted time in class. She usually does weekly online tests. MKT6100 also includes a group project.

Pharr is a good instructor and is very helpful. She answers emails quickly. You will have many connect assignments, a few discussion posts, and a group simulation project. There are no tests for this class. There are few grades, though, so you must do well on all assignments to do well in this class.

Four tests on iLearn, each consisting about three to four chapters, you must read the book for tests. Curves grades if good attendance. In-class exercises after each chapter is over (can not afford to miss class). Extra credit opportunities are there. Did not have any projects due (lack of time). Great professor but, you must earn your grade.

Fantastic Professor! I'm so glad that I got to take MKT 3400 with her instead of either Dr. Anitsal. Exams are relatively difficult, so be sure to read the book. I highly recommend this professor and would take again :)
