Was not an effective teacher, I felt she barely was present or around to help.MKTG2201 2026-06-22 17:14:14 +0000 UTC
DO NOT take this if you want an easy class. material is interesting, but SO much work. Every other week, theres a test and assignment(which requires background knowledge of products) on lockdown browsers. Other weeks, there is a discussion post which is fine. They give an 85 for assignments that are "satasfactory" so it is hard to get a good grade.MARKETING 2026-03-04 17:42:12 +0000 UTC
I actually like marketing a lot, she ruined this course with unclear and strict grading standards. I've met bad professors, but trust me she is the WORST. Anyway it's a lesson I learned from blood and tears, make sure you get far away from her.MKTG2209 2021-03-10 16:02:57 +0000 UTC
All I will say is, I changed my concentration AWAY from marketing because of her. Awful, disrespectful, barks at students. I had an interview once and emailed her in advance letting her know I wont be able to make it but I can come at the end for the evaluations (they are graded) she told me not too and took points off which dropped my grade.MKTG3301 2017-12-20 11:24:11 +0000 UTC
I did not enjoy being in Professor's Sieloff course. It was an online class, and the homework was never very clear and she was very bad with emails. I would ask questions via email and her response were never helpful. It being an online class, I was at least expecting some more feedback through email and more support, but there was none.MKT201 2016-02-03 16:59:00 +0000 UTC
I would take her class again if that was even possible. She is the most entertaining person I have ever seen in my Northeastern life. You HAVE to go to classes though. I really enjoyed her class because she taught us the concepts in a very entertaining way. Loved her class even though I passed with a C+. I must warn you; the exams are really hard!DONTREMEMBER 2015-01-13 13:52:11 +0000 UTC
Some people found her abrasive, I think Siel Team 6 is just misunderstood. Really passionate, definitely strict though. Certainly far from an easy A, but getting a good grade is not impossible.MKTGINTR 2012-12-12 11:17:01 +0000 UTC
She is a good teacher, she has some flaws though.CBAU101 2009-04-07 01:34:07 +0000 UTC
GO TO CLASS!!!! she will notice if you don't. do the assignments, ask questions, be involved. If you do this, she will love you and you're good to go. If you don't care about the class, she won't care about you. She plays favorites a little, but overall she's a good teacher who knows her stuff.CBA101 2008-11-14 14:54:52 +0000 UTC
If she likes you, she likes you and you're fine, otherwise, watch out. Overall, she is a good professor and explains the material well. The way she words her exam questions is not good and though you may know the material that she is asking for solid, the question will confuse you and you will not understand what she is looking for. Overall, decentMKTU201 2008-01-04 01:14:51 +0000 UTC
This class will become like a plague if you let it. Just get everything done in a timely fashion and it wont pile up at the end of the semester.INTROBUS 2006-11-13 22:26:22 +0000 UTC
She made the class very interesting. Good insight. Easy project. An overall easy professor.INTRODOBUS 2006-02-15 15:45:08 +0000 UTC
Nice teacher..Our class failed all the quizzes so she threw them away. However, not very helpful with the TJX project. We were left on our own to do everything. project was ugh but we got through it with a good grade. Enough saidINTROTOB 2005-12-22 17:01:54 +0000 UTC
i thought her teaching style for this higher level class was inadequate. she seems to lecture quite a bit and doesn't relate topics to real world enough. overall, mediocreMKTRETAILING 2005-12-03 02:37:35 +0000 UTC
Knows a lot but sometimes her lectures compared to the book are a bit confusing but deff study her slides for tests and you'll ace them. Do your interesting hws, go to class, and show up on time...you'll get an a!INTOMKT201 2005-05-12 18:01:34 +0000 UTC
