Comment:
Stay away from Conley at all costs. Her ego is as big as her mouth. The worst part is that she cant teach. You literally wont understand a thing when shes lecturing. Why pay so much when youre teaching yourself?

she's great during lectures and makes it interesting, however make sure to note down anything she says because exams will be based on it. she often makes mistakes on her exams, and isn't cooperative in regrading or responding our emails. but she gives a lot of extra credits, so make sure to take advantage of it!

She expect you write anything she say in class with speed of light! and ask them in exams. I saw my native English classmates couldn't write her lecture. lots of advise, good but not related to business. If you are international student not good in English Language avoid her class, must relay on your studying and you cannot learn anything in class

Prof. Conley is straightforward & wants you to learn the basic principles of business. She treats you as a professional & wants you to treat the class as though you are already entering a business environment. Do the hw, attend lectures and take good notes-key to passing, youll do great. No excuses do the work, tests & final paper youll pass.

Worst professor ever. The tests are literally made incorrectly so if you study and have A level knowledge you can easily end up with a B. She is not responsive to criticism about her tests and refuses to regrade. Don't take this class.

I will never take a class with her again. Especially if you ever pointed anything out on her exams, which half of them wrong, or if you ever stood out for yourself. Know that she will make her best to make sure you fail the class or feel humiliated.

Comment:
Professor would go on long personal stories unrelated to the subject matter about aliens being in contact with national governments and about how Steve Jobs was Galileo in a past life. When the class went online due to Covid19 I muted every lecture and passed with a B. I read none of the textbook and guessed every question until I was done with it.

Avoid this class if you don't want to get yelled at every 5 minutes. EVERYTHING is important to her, so make sure you write down her EVERY THOUGHT! She always offers extra credit, so you can't really fail her class however she does give you a ton of assignments.

Comment:
She is very unclear . She was super disorganized, and was 15-30 minutes late to just about every lecture. When I did badly on an exam and tried to talk to her about it, she was not very understanding. It is possible to do well in her class but it is too much work for anyone who isn't a business major.

Do not take her!! She loose your work & you have to remind her multiple times about putting in your grade, if you don't you wont get a grade for it and its on you. Its aloooot of homework, 5 of exams and 5 quizzes through out the semester. Tests are based on her lecture, book and learnsmart and even though its open notes they are not easy at all.

Comment:
She takes up most of the class time going off on anecdotes that aren't related to the content you are learning and spends less than half the class going over the actual chapter slides. You mostly learn by yourself through reading. Her tests are worded terribly and expects you to write at the speed of light. I was very disappointed with her teaching

She's a goof professor, but she does mix her personal beliefs and ideas and random stuff into a lecture. She does not really go over things well, so you will have to do a lot of reading and do the online assignments and you will pass the class.

I was excited to take this course, but I was heavily let down. The instructions she gives are so unclear that even her take-home quizzes dont make sense. Exams are horribly worded questions that students have to correct her about DURING the exam. Gives a huge project & doesnt explain anything. Jokes are fun to an extent (didnt learn anything)

Heres the thing about her, shes funny and nice, but I dont think you will learn a lot from her class, she gives a lot of paper (Round Table) for you to print out, eventually, youre gonna use these papers for take home quiz which are confusing to read and answer, I think she just gives out unclear direction about it and her exams are weird as well.

I think its great to that everyone takes this course not only does the professor teach about the principles of business but she helps you understand it and connect it to real life situations. As long as you do your homework on time and take advantage of extra credit youll be good.

Ms. Conleys class was probably the most entertaining class Ive attended at smc. She is so funny and her teaching style is fun. She can rush through power points at times and put some questions on the test that have nothing to do with what she taught. Although she does provide a lot of extra credit opportunities inside and outside of class.

She's a funny lady, but not so great of a professor. Didn't learn much in this class. Tests were a bit ridiculous and confusing, despite them being open-book. Sometimes condescending and moody, but she's not a mean lady. Contacted me after class officially ended asking for a reply, guess it affected my grade, didn't appreciate that.

Funny, relatable and understanding. Tests are open note and you can use anything except electronic devices. However, I don't think I learned much. It's an easy A. Gives MANY extra credit opportunities. Great sense of humor. Could've easily gotten an A without going to class, but she still expects you to attend. Gives random extra credit points.
