She is nice, and you can tell that she likes what she is doing. Attendance and participation is graded. No exams! Just quizzes and papers. Lectures are kinda annoying but definitely worth taking this class. RE425Rate My Professors ↗

Professor Lofton is the best business school professor! She is very knowledgeable in her field and gives fantastic real-world examples. She gave the perfect amount of work and the tests were very easy if you attended class. She made me very glad to be a RE major and I can't wait to take more courses with her! Highly recommend her!Rate My Professors ↗

Amazing professor who really cares to get to know her students. I'm a senior taking her intro to real estate class and wish I took it earlier.Rate My Professors ↗

Lauren is such a nice prof and wants to connect with her students. She is very nice and cares about her students. Her course material is pretty straightforward and she tries to relate it to current events. She cares about the material and is very enthusiastic.Rate My Professors ↗

Seriously the best teacher I've had all of college so far. Really cares about what she teaches and gives awesome feedback. She's always available outside of class and super kind. I would take another one of her classes in a heartbeat. She really made this weird semester manageable while still being informational.Rate My Professors ↗

The best teacher in the school of business- hands down. She will literally know your name after one day and look out for you on every assignment for the entire semester. Lectures are interesting, and use popular real life examples. Despite being the most boring content I had learned in the Bschool, this my favorite and most interesting class.Rate My Professors ↗
