Comment:
The most specific and nit-picky professor who refuses to give an outline of what she wants. Will say she doesn't care but then rips you apart. Worst class. Terrible when they grade a paper and just say it was a disappointment of a paper.

If you have a interest in marketing, Professor Purinton is fantastic. A lot of students complain about the workload in the class and the structured nature of her course, but she cares about her students' success, and she knows her stuff. If you're the type of student that is willing to work, you'll love it. It's a lot of work, but I learned a ton.

Many people in my class did not like Professor Purinton but I am not sure why. She is super smart and will 100% help you will anything if you go into see her. Her tests at the beginning are not hard if you study. As far as the simulation goes, I had a good experience due to my good group. Not sure how I would have felt if we lost the game though.

She is a mean, cruel individual who does not care about students at all. She makes the class much harder than it should be. Overall, the worst and meanest professor I have ever experienced.

Dr. Johnson is a wonderful teacher. Her class is challenging but not impossible. If you put in the effort you will do fine. The knowledge you gleam from this course will be applicable and relevant. Overall, excellent professor I highly recommend taking this course!

She is a GPA KILLER! The amount of work i did for her class was more than all of my other classes combined. Lots of group work so if you are an independent student avoid at all costs

If you're like me and have 0 interest in marketing and only want/need the credit, AVOID. While she is a very engaging speaker, nothing taught in class was on the exams and the workload was insane, I spent more time on her group project than all of my homework for my other classes put together. It seems she expects her class to be your #1 priority

Comment:
DO NOT TAKE HER. She made me hate Marketing. Quizzes are un-announced, tests are all at least 60+ multiple choice with short answers. The homeworks she gives aren't too challenging, but don't expect to ever get higher than a B on them. Don't even bother going to her office hours - she won't help you. She is HORRIBLE.

Comment:
If youre very independent then go ahead and take her. She teaches you one thing in class and then gives no guidance at all for her tests. All the help she will give you is that "anything in the book is fair game" so do with that what you will. Not helpful. annoying voice. dont take her if you dont have to.

Professor Purinton is one of the rudest individuals I have ever dealt with. While her classes can be interesting, she is a terrible person. I would avoid taking class with her at all costs. I have never had problems with a professor until I took this class. She plays favorites and gives pop quizzes every other class. AVOID.

This teacher is one of the worst that Marist has. She will do absolutely nothing to even remotely help you do well on your presentations. She grades depending on how she likes you, it shouldn't be subjective at all. If you want her to kill your GPA, take her.

Hard teacher but very helpful. She expects a lot and makes very clear what she is looking for so if you deliver you will do well. She will go out of her way to help students--one of the best business professors I have had at Marist! Take her class...it's well worth the time!

Such a friendly woman. Will do anything at all to help you. Class was 2 tests, group paper/project, group presentation, some individual assignments, and some pop quizzes. Class isn't that boring, she tries the best w/the material. A very perky woman
