Student Testimonial

This is the second class I’ve taken with Amy. She treats every student with respect and gives them the attention and time that they need. Again, this class was amazing and granted me a lot of real-life skills to bring to the workforce. I improved on my presenting skills, learned real applicable things, and overall was just amazed at how hard everyone worked and how dedicated she was during every office hour, email, and phone call throughout the entire process. She was my favorite teacher at Ross and at Michigan — I feel better prepared for my full-time job because of this class. I feel like it gave me an inside look at how not only advertising/marketing companies are designed, but how they operate within a team.
