Comment:
Professor Siddiqi is very knowledgeable on the subject. The class itself was very interesting, but the structure pretty much has you teaching yourself. Group projects form a tremendous part of class as well as presentations, so make sure to get a good group in the beginning. READ THE TEXTBOOK & PARTICIPATE!! Super important to boosting your grade.

She lectures to the beat of her own drum, she uses real life examples and encourages engagement. I loved the cultural aspect of this course, I learned very useful information. To do well, you need to attend, participate, review the textbook and listen to her lectures. I'm taking another course with her next semester!

Comment:
For 490, we had 3 papers with presentations in a group, which were not hard just tedious work. Average of like 7-20 pgs. 2 quizzes, 2 exams and a final. She provides study guides. All in all, the class time was useless. It's one of those "the students teaches the class" but no one pays attention anyways. I passed, but I hated going to that class.

Tests and quizzes are ok tells you what you need to know. On the final gave a list to study for and went over it, but then had stuff we never covered on it. class is pointless but participation does matter.

Avoid. Doesn't lecture. Makes your group lecture the class. You will not learn from her or groups. Read TEXTBOOK! Doesn't matter signing your name on attendance sheet everyday, if you don't participate she'll ding you. Showed up everyday, participated 3 times, gave me 45% for that. Tests are eh, gives study guide, but gives wrong answers for them.

Tests are VERY hard and count for most of your grade. Not very helpful of a professor when asked questions. Lectures don't help. If you can't pass her classes you won't be able to get a marketing degree at CSULB. She's like the gatekeeper of getting your emphasis in marketing with a business degree. AVOID!!

Class is super easy and fun! I've had her for a majority of my marketing classes and is my favorite professor. Everything on the test is on the study guide, super easy presentations and she's really down to earth. Given I'm one of those students who slacks off and just surfs before class and tests and I still manage to pull of A's!

The setup is same for all 3 classes: 3 tests, 1 final, attendance & 3 group projects. She is approachable, nice, funny, & a good teacher who makes class fun. I I wish I could take her for all mktg classes. For tests she gives a detailed study guide that's very helpful & for projects its an easy presentation and a paper. Easy B. Best teacher ever!!

Siddiqi is a really nice lady who tries her best to give you opportunities to do well in her classes. She gives amazing study guides for review and is flexible on workloads. She works around her students' schedules and is very understanding. Her lectures weren’t very helpful so the textbook is necessary to study for exams.

I highly recommend her. She tells you exactly what you need to know for the exam(s), and she is willing to clarify any questions you may have. She welcomes student opinions/feedback on the subject matter, and you'll pass her class if you DO THE ASSIGNMENTS. I really enjoyed her class.

Honestly the class mostly consists of group projects and presentations which can get a little dull. However, Siddiqi is one of the nicest professors I've ever had! She genuinely cares about all her students and it shows! Overview: 3 projects, 3 tests (with thorough study guides/review sessions), allows retakes on all tests, takes attendance.

Great professor! While she rarely uses powerpoint, she does go over everything that will be covered on the exam. But remember you have to stay in class the entire time.I had her once a week for 3hrs & half the class would leave within the hour.RUDE! READ the book, pay attention in class and you'll do great. Accent not a problem, just listen closely

Her idea of teaching is talking about 3 overhead slides a chapter. She gives thorough study guides. Did those every time but her test questions are just confusing. When you go ask her about tests, she tells you it's your fault that you didn't get it right or understand the question. some what easy class, you wont learn anything unless you read.

Takes attendance. She learns your name & you won't even know it. She uses very relevant examples however, good luck testing her facts--many times, she'll never admit that she is wrong. Tests are m/c but grading on assignments are ill-defined and does not provide any feedback. Definitely recommend her especially if u need minimal effort classes

She's very nice & accommodating. However, don't like the class structure because retention is low & in the end, don't learn a whole lot. Gives little to no feedbacks / critiques on presentation & especially the paper, her grading is hazy.
