Maria Bardossy BMGT332 Expecting an A Anonymous 08/28/2024	Fair exams, go to TA office hours for every assignment to make sure you did everything right. There is mandatory attendance, but other than that, I liked this class a lot with Bardossy. You will not regret taking 332 with her.
Maria Bardossy Anonymous 07/01/2024	So far I've not been impressed with the QUEST professors. Final exam is just a cluster of all the content, but the way content is taught its not clear at all, there's 0 organization and sometimes even she is confused on what is being taught. The large number of assignments she post makes me wonder if she realizes we have other classes. Grading is very harsh with unclear guidelines.
Maria Bardossy BMGT438A Expecting an A- Anonymous 05/14/2024	Do not take this professor if you have the option not to. She is extremely disorganized and has still not graded assignments from the first few weeks of class. She has made this class a miserable experience and I do not recommend her.
Maria Bardossy BMGT438A Expecting an A Anonymous 05/14/2024	Likes to dock points off of assignments with no feedback. Class is very disorganized and she does not know how to explain the topics. She also takes a very long time to submit grades.
Maria Bardossy BMGT438A Anonymous 05/14/2024	She is the most unorganized professor I've ever had. Perhaps the worst professor I've had in my life. It's the end of the semester and I still don't have grades in from assignments that were due back in March. I can't believe she is a QUEST professor, the program needs to do better. She is unkind and lacks organization. In class, she doesn't even know what she is teaching and often times teaches it wrong and then goes back and tries to figure it out. She's mumbling to herself and going to class is a waste of time.
Maria Bardossy BMGT332 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/10/2024	Honestly a good professor. The class is not a walk in the park. Bardossy is kind and fun. If you don't like her class, you probably just don't understand the material. I raised my hand, asked questions, and went to office hours. She literally walked me through the assignments sometimes. You have to put in the work. You have to review the slides again and review the examples again. If you can't do that, you're not going to like this class
Maria Bardossy BMGT434 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/07/2024	Professor Bardossy is a phenomenal professor. I almost didn't take this class due to the other planet terp reviews but I am so glad I did. This has been the course that has prepared me the most for becoming a professional business analyst. Very kind professor and a project-based class.
Maria Bardossy BMGT434 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/06/2024	Professor Bardossy is a phenomenal teacher. I almost dropped this class during the add/drop period due to the other PlanetTerp reviews, but I am so glad I didn't. I learned so many types of data analyses within this course as Prof. B teaches different applications of analytical methods. I now feel ready to be a business analyst in the workforce. She is also extremely kind and wants to get to know her students. If you go to class, ask questions when you don't understand course content or assignments, and put in an honest effort you should do fine in this course. This was my favorite class that I took as a major requirement for OMBA.
Maria Bardossy BMGT438A Expecting an A+ Anonymous 04/09/2024	Bardossy is actually the worst QUEST professor to exist. She does not understand how to teach the course content and has 0 organizational capabilities. Her grading is all over the place, and she posts assignments a few days before they're due without notice. She also changed our class location halfway through the year and then changed it back at some point.
Maria Bardossy BMGT438A Anonymous 03/10/2024	Extremely disorganized and does not know what she is teaching
Maria Bardossy BULM711 Expecting a B- Anonymous 01/12/2024	Her classes are like hypnotic drugs. One assignment per week takes you a long time to complete, but she needs to spend 2-4 weeks giving you feedback. What's outrageous is that she gave us feedback on the last assignment half an hour before the final exam. By the way, she will drop down your grade. A waste of my time and money, I feel she is not qualified to teach at UMD.
Maria Bardossy Anonymous 12/20/2023	A disorganized, unempathetic professor with unreasonable expectations. The worst professor I’ve had.
Maria Bardossy Anonymous 12/18/2023	One of the least understanding professors. Unkind and overall a lack of care towards her students. She just mumbles to herself the entire class.
Maria Bardossy BMGT438A Anonymous 12/16/2023	The absolute worst professor I’ve had in college. Both mean and unorganized.
Maria Bardossy BMGT438A Anonymous 12/06/2023	Not a good professor. Not a good fit for QUEST.
Maria Bardossy BMGT438A Anonymous 12/06/2023	While she is generally a nice person, she runs a very disorganized class. She grades unnecessarily harshly without giving any real expectations to students. She doesn't really engage the class at all and doesn't understand how to form relationships with students. She doesn't know enough about any of the projects to give any helpful advice. Not good.
Maria Bardossy Anonymous 11/28/2023	Just not it. She has high expectations for students but not herself, and barely understands the work the students are doing. Literally asks students when assignments are due.
Maria Bardossy BMGT485 Expecting a B+ Anonymous 04/10/2023	I'm currently taking her class, and I feel overwhelmed. The amount of assignments per week is insane, plus the fact that there is a lot of disorganization in the class structure. She will take weeks to upgrade your grade, and provide you with very little feedback. You will also be working on a lot of group assignments, so make sure you choose the right teammates.
Maria Bardossy BMGT332 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/17/2022	Dr. Bardossy is such a pleasant and smart teacher! She's very dedicated to her students and makes sure everyone knows what's going on as she goes through examples in class. Pre-application day quizzes are easy, especially if you read the textbook. I'd recommend reading the textbook for the first part of the semester, because it's foundational content that you'll need to know. The textbook is expensive, but it is worthwhile because you'll likely refer to it in the future if you work in operations management. Application days can be tricky, but Dr. Bardossy and the TA will help when you need it. Just make sure to follow along and review the examples gone over in class, since that's often the most important part. Indvidual homework assignments are very time-consuming; I probably spent 3-8 hours on each of them (8), because of the detail and knowledge required for solving. That being said, I never really minded spending that much time on them because the solving process is genuinely interesting. Hands-on quizzes (online; timed) were stressful but not really that hard if you know what you're doing based off the previous assignments and examples. Exams (cumulative; limited notes permitted) were super easy and predictable. I studied for a few hours for each one and got A+ on both. The handwritten notes aren't even needed if you pay attention in class and do the assignments. Overall, I really enjoyed this course. It feels like there's a time crunch in the last few weeks of class, because Dr. Bardossy covers some very broad material very quickly (such as Simulation), but that can't be helped. Some of her explanations are hard to understand, but that's because there are concepts you have to truly "get". This was definitely one of my favorite courses! 4/5 because of the huge time commitment—although that's unavoidable with this type of course content—and sometimes confusing explanations for harder topics.
Maria Bardossy BMGT332 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/31/2021	Very nice woman and not that hard of a class, but mind numbingly boring and she didn't seem to be prepared/know how to do everything sometimes.
Maria Bardossy BMGT434 Expecting a B+ Anonymous 05/18/2021	Hard class. Was not adjusted well for a pandemic and varied engagement levels. Tasks seemed endless, although if you stayed on par with some of the stuff you certainly get something out of it. Her class was one of you get out of it what you put into it. Problem is that during an online semester, encouraging several difficult group projects and relatively strict grading (mainly for the group projects) can be demoralizing. By the end I didn't have much reason to do more than the bare minimum despite knowing what I could get out of it. She is very smart, and you can pick up what she says if you pay attention, but it is pretty draining if you stay with the entire lecture and give the appropriate efforts to the group projects. Overall well designed class, far too much work though.
Maria Bardossy BMGT434 Expecting a B Anonymous 04/27/2021	This class was one of the most time consuming and stressful classes I have ever taken. We had an open ended and complex group project once a week while also having long HWs throughout the semester. She is very nice, but her teaching is not on par with her expectations. She is very smart, but is not great at explaining her thoughts. Overall, do not take this class unless you want to be working on nonstop group projects that are very difficult.
Maria Bardossy BMGT434 Expecting an A- Anonymous 04/26/2021	A lot of work. A couple of presentations a month, in the first half of the semester, but huge presentations weekly near the end of the semester. On top of the presentations, there's a lot of other homeworks/quizzes/readings/busy work sprinkled in. For the first few presentations, the TA and guest lecturers tried to wear you down, piss you off, and throw you off your game. Additionally, the presentations would be on extremely vague cases with little to no guidance. With a couple of weeks left in this semester, I can confidently say that I haven't learned anything yet. Her lectures are the hardest things to sit through, and I have not understood a single thought she has tried to convey. I really don't know why she's teaching.
Maria Bardossy BMGT485 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 04/10/2019	She is really not that bad. Yes, her classes are dull and a bit confusing at times, but her class is very easy and she is very nice. I currently have a 100.2% in her class because she allowed us to use a sheet of paper on the midterm. Despite being confused about the content of the course toward the beginning, she has made it very clear what we need to know for our quizzes and exams.
Maria Bardossy BMGT485 Anonymous 03/04/2019	I have been in this class for over a month and a half and all we have learned is how to count. Bardossy is clueless when it comes to this course. She has no idea what she is doing and it shows. We have an exam next week and no one has any idea what is going to be on it. I can't even put an expected grade because I have no clue what she is going to grade, or how her exam is going to go. Take this class if you like busy work and a professor that doesn't know what she's doing. Only reason I gave her two stars instead on one is because she's a nice person.
Maria Bardossy BMGT485 bauemar15 03/04/2019	Wow. Just wow. I'm currently typing this review in class as we have waited 10 minutes for one of her "simulations" to work. Events like this happen on a daily basis. We are currently in the 6th week a school and have not learned anything. No one knows how to do any of the content or assignments and we are not told how to do any of it. Heavy accent makes powerpoint lectures(once a week) hard to understand and the powerpoints themselves are in broken english(not a rag but its hard to learn if you can't understand any of the content). The course has no structure aside from barely following the book assigned to the class. Based off the readings, the powerponts probably cover about 50% of the book chapters and then 10% of that is actually taught to us as receivable information. This all may come off as angry or bitter but all of it is true. I'm not even complaining about my grade, I currently have a 95% and I barely do anything. We have an exam next week which I'm sure will tank me(and the class) as we aren't being told what is on it/the format/or given anything to study from. Head these warnings and don't just take them as some "random person's biased views"; DO NOT TAKE ANY CLASS WITH MARIA BARDOSSY. I'm sorry but she is totally unfit to be teaching anyone.
