Great Professor--very helpful. Course load isn't too much. You have random quizzes throughout the year (like 6) but they're only worth 10 points each and a lot of the questions are common sense. Just follow examples for projects/writings and you'll get an A!

Marty will forever be one of my favorite teachers on this campus. She is retiring soon but if you have to take GB300 and she is still here, TAKE HER! The class is a lot of work but Marty is the easiest grader and such a sweet, nice lady!

Great prof, easy class. The only thing that would make this class difficult would be if you didn't like your group for presentations. She really likes to see you improve and is an easy grader. Most quizzes were at the end of class so studying wasn't necessary. More than willing to go over drafts/answer any questions. Easy A!

Marty is super sweet & has a passion for intercultural comm. There are a lot of assigned readings (all interesting though!) & a few pop quizzes, but she is a lenient grader & just wants to make sure you understand. she loves hearing about students' intl experiences and sharing opinions. exams are long but easy, presentations are interesting!
