TAKE HER!! One of the best if not the best professor at CSF. Very helpful and topics on the test are clearly defined. 3 short writing assignments and 3 tests, which are easy. Very helpful and is more than willing to help you whenever you need it. Will e-mail you the same day or the day after you need anything. Attendance does not affect your grade.

class is easy. but even up till finals week, you still won't know more than 30 percent of your grade because she is still correcting it. so you won't know what kind of letter grade you need on the final. the tests are easy to study for, just attend her review and you can get an easy B on the test. the assignments are easy, but put effort into it.

She's an all right teacher. She gives a detailed study guide, but leaves about five questions (a whole grade letter) on the tests off the guide, so even the study guide isn't all that helpful. In my opinion, her grading was too subjective. 20% is based on a group project and attendance. I attended every class and got an 8/10 on attendance.

Nice teacher, but the project is dumb. Group project 6-7 people, you have to create a business plan from scratch with very little start-up cash. When we were forced to go online due to COVID, she made us continue the project to "keep a sense of normalcy". She was pretty easy on the grading, but the project itself was just too much considering.

Favorite professor this semester! Did amazing even with COVID transition. Is very funny, upfront, and knowledgeable. Amazing lectures, fun class, and super fun material to learn. Does talk pretty fast but still got most of her lecture down. Shows videos, encourages discussion, pretty easy going on papers. Would absolutely take her again!

Very nice woman! She really cares about her students and their success. No proctorio for exams, just zoom for proctoring. Powerpoints don't go into detail so you need the book for the exam study guide. Theres one group paper and presentation, but she usually gives you time to meet in your groups at the end of most lectures. Great professor!

Professor Lusk is one of the sweetest people youll ever meet. The class was super easy but still interesting, although at times she can get sidetracked with personal stories. It was a bit clear that adapting to an online class was a bit tough for her but I dont blame her. Didnt really need to show up, as long as you know the material.

Prof Lusk was generous to our class. Exams are the hardest b/c they're scenario based + t/f. Go beyond reading the textbook and studying powerpoint slides if you want an A. The second exam is the hardest. Every exam has 6 chapters. The class consists of 3 exams, 2 papers, and a couple discussions.

Lectures were heavy and tests were not similar to her lectures. Almost no homework. I enjoyed this class style but hard to get a good grade based on what she teaches and her exams. Passed with a B. I would take this professor again.

She lectures during the entire zoom meeting, she reads off PP slides, way too much talking. There are no breaks during lectures. No homework, no extra credit, tests are done with proctorio, 50 questions multiple choice. Provides test reviews, do the reviews & you will pass the tests. Book is free online. 1 group project paper & PP presentation.

I've taken her twice and now I think I'd avoid her in the future if there's better options. She can get a bit unprofessional; many grammatical errors, very late email responses, does not explain grading criteria for participation, does not mark her words (said she would re-grade my hw and didn't), makes many lame excuses. Same patterns, diff class.

Professor Lusk is a great professor. She has so much experience in her field within different departments it allows her to provide amazing examples along with lecture. There really isnt that much homeowork which is nice. Tests are pretty difficult though. Even if you go to lecture, read the book. One paper, one skit. (both were not bad)

Her lectures are so boring. Can get all the same info from just reading the book and you should! Exams don't reflect her study guide AT ALL you're better off going through the book and reading all the chapters. The study guide makes it seem like you can get away with just knowing the definitions, but you have to understand the concepts very well.

I agree with the rating below mine. Therefore, if you want to ace her exam with her study guide, you have to use Quizlet. To be specific, you have to find some test bank questions from Quizlet that match her study guide.

Look her lectures are long and don't really make sense, just show up for the zoom credit but no need to pay attention. For the exams, I just read quizlets and got an A on all 3 exams. People in the class would review the lectures and do the study guide and barely pass. Look just do the bare minimum and read quizlets and you'll get an A

Avoid if you have difficulties paying attention/focusing (like ADHD). Her lectures are long and boring and she will talk about long stories about her personal experiences. Class itself isn't difficult but you have to spend lots of time studying on your own cuz her lectures aren't helping. Says she grades attendance but thats not part of your grade.

This professor was mediocre at best. The lectures covered the bare minimum of the chapter - with the study guides being not relatable to the exam at all. She is also quite slow at grading. Make sure you read the textbook if you want to get a good grade in this class

She is very caring and wants you to pass. Reaching out for help really saves me. Her tests are very difficult and required a ton of studying. Lectures can be slow since this subject matter is pretty boring. Would take her again for another class.

Lusk is a nice woman with relevant experience however her exams are nothing like what the book and study guides are like. They are very difficult and her lectures are a waste. I wouldn't recommend her until she changes her study guides or lectures to be actually helpful for her exams.

There are two exams, a group project, a couple of easy hw assignments, and a final. Her lectures are thorough, but honestly I studied for exams strictly from the book/the quizlets she provides and got Bs. Attendance is not necessary in my opinion. The group project is pretty straightforward, it is just a script that you record with your group.

She's a great person, but as a prof not so much. Her lectures are pretty much useless as she will go on tangents about life and work experiences not really relating to course material. Final exam was def the hardest one, seems like common sense but not really. Minimal hw, exams are scenario based.

Exams were mostly scenario-based and rarely matched the in-class lectures, attendance was mandatory, one group skit project, professor went off-topic on many occasions during lectures. professor herself was very nice and quite funny sometimes but her exams were unbelievably difficult. class average for final exam was an F.

1 group project as final. Few assignments but weigh heavy on your grade. Took her class Tues 7-945pm, often times she would only lecture for an hour & dismiss class. Study material & know concepts, tests are concept heavy & questions are based off scenarios. exam reviews werent too helpful as test material was 80% different than what is on review.

I don't think she teaches the material in a particularly memorable way. Her group project is a skit that you and 6 other people perform and she opted out of teaching for the last 3 weeks so we could work on our skit and present them instead of teaching. Not the worst professor but far from good.

Didn't learn anything I didn't know already. Be careful if you hand in any assignments early, the criteria and guidance for the assignment changed right up to the deadline and left me redrafting assignments frequently. Didn't get a good grade but also didn't get any indication as to what was done wrong, the only feedback was positive.

Lusk's class is a mixed bag - lectures can drag, but her study material and quizlets are quite helpful. Unstuck AI was a lifesaver for exam prep. Tough exams, but doable with dedication.
