She was kind, answers emails pretty quick, and is very helpful in her office hours. One thing is that she kind of raced through lecture, so taking notes was very hard for me. Another thing is that the exams were multiple choice, but one question at a time and you can't go back once you answer one. Maybe that has changed by now, but that wasn't fun.

Kristin made class very engaging and she was very caring! I really enjoyed her lectures. You definitely have to study to do well on the exams, but it's manageable.

Kristin is a very understanding and caring professor. She moved fast through the slides but it was very engaging. The class contained about 30 pages of reading or week. The midterms were fair. There was a 3% extra credit and a pretty easy project worth 25% of the grade.

Kristin was a good professor but it was clearly her first year. Her instructions on things were very confusing. Her lecture slides were also confusing, she uploading one before class and then a different one after. She was very sweet and caring about her studentsTests weren't hard, given 1 sheet of notes, all mc, and one big (pretty easy) project.

I enjoyed Marketing 300 with Kristin, it was an interesting topic that she was able to make creative during her lectures. I do agree that the PMP project could be reworked as it is very specific and not that useful. The group assignments and things done in discussion classes could also be reworked for the better. The exams are manageable if you try

Professor Branch was a very good professor for Marketing 300. She knows what she is talking about, and the examples in class were very interesting to me. However, the guidelines and grading were pretty confusing. And the lecture slides were difficult to understand if you miss a lecture. The exams were written OK, still misleading and confusing.

Marketing 300 is one of the worse classes in the introductory business classes, but Kristin was a great professor. She brought an unparalleled enthusiasm and knowledge to lecture and always made it super fun! The exams are alright and take a lot of studying and the PMP is a useless project but Kristin was a great person and great lecturer.
