She has made learning about this stuff relevant and NOT boring! Her spin is how you can take what we learn and actually apply it to our careers...not just learn to take tests and that's it. She lets people cook international food for ex credit and brings in special speakers. She does not believe in lecture but rather class participation!

Don't take Borges if you enjoy the following: Using laptops, being able to go to the bathroom as needed, having money. She requires an electronic remote for attendance and to answer class questions that have no effect on your grade. It's a 'cheap' 40 dollars, on top of the 120 paperback book. She will not let you leave class for any reason at all

This is by far the worst teacher I ever taken. The TA does everything. You can't even make an appointment to see her. And the class is a joke. Uses test from the book and doesn't hand them back. Plus if you have to leave during the class she call you out in front of everyone. She is horrible!!

I leanrned more relevant info in this class than any other at UNF. I am even taking her again this spring. She makes learning fun & she requires only that you participate in the discussions. If you don't come to class she doesn't count it against you, she just gives people there extra credit. BTW, she gives alot of extra credit opportunities.

Instead of the basic UNF cookie cutter class which consists of a book, ppt slides, Ms Borges uses case work study the most which is the most pertinent to the real world!

I was taken aback by the comments from her undergrad classes, but as a fundamental class for the MBA program, I think she's amazing. Yes, there is an enormous amount of work, but all of it is relevant in the real world. She is not "mean" at all, and I believe it's because we are MBA students who have a vested interest in the class and all work hard

In response to the comment b4 mine- Undergrads "work hard" too, pal. This class was a breeze. It was hybrid, all tests online.

Just a lot of busy work- no real intellectual difficulty. Easy A!

She is dead serious about dropping letter grades. Although my "points total" translated into an 'A', I ended up w/ a 'B' for not posting at least 5 times in one of the discussion boards.

The worst class I've taken here. You lose a letter grade if you miss enough classes (~ 2). Everyone is required to teach the class- you get picked randomly. The group paper and final exam, both submitted at the end, make up 71% of your grade. The paper is 36% of your grade, yet grading is subjective - not good. This gives her power over students.

She's really amazing! And super cool! I had her for a summer online class that's why I put the difficulty as a 3 - b/c the work was consuming (everything was on CONNECT). But overall it's an easy A course, just put some time aside for the assignments.

Unclear grading criteria, had an A until the very end due to unclear and almost random grading. Good luck with the group project, you're paired with 6 random people and guaranteed half won't even care about their grade. Shes alright, not good but not bad. Lot of busy work.

Her online International Management class is one big group project. You're assigned to a group and have the semester to submit two big papers. Participation matters in this, so if you don't like groups or don't like doing work for groups, I'd go somewhere else, as you will fail the class. Professor is nice and knowledgeable about material.

There's a ton of small assignments that are pretty easy but the group projects are worth just as much as the final exam. I had an A up until the last day when she graded our last group project and it brought my grade down to a C. You get penalized for other group members not doing their work right.

BEWARE! This class is heavily graded on group projects throughout the year. This means you are randomly assigned a group from day one and stuck with that same group until the final project. There are a total of 9 projects you and you're group will have to complete. However, besides that, the individual work is relatively easy making this an easy A!

I had her for MAN4720 - 7 week online course The course consisted of Connect (9-12 assignments weekly), group simulation (3 rounds a week = 5 hours spent on it weekly), a group project that's 2 parts (30% of grade), and a simulation exam. This course was so stressful, I recommend you pick good people in a group to relieve the course stress.

Would not recommend her at all! The class is mainly a group project with unclear instructions and random grading. You get stuck with 4 other team members who probably don't care about their grade. She is also rude and condescending over email. Cannot wait to be done with this class, it is such a headache.

Throughout this class I had a 98 but within the last week of the semester she finally put in final grades and it drop down to an 83. She purposely release final grades after the ISQs where due which caused me to give her a good rating. She is a tough grader, I have notices that the highest grade from the class for the team project is a 80. very bad

Most Importantly no HonorLock for the four coursed I've taken with this professor. The material has remained easy, and while the homework load can become heavy they are fairly easy. For the courses taken, the only test is the final consisting of 100 multiple choice questions on Canvas. No hesitation with this teacher, highly recommend the class.

Highly Recommend! Have taken this professor numerous times and has no issues. The class workload can become heavy throughout the weeks, but the assignments are easy and short (Just looks like a lot!). There is no HonorLock and typically only has one test, being the final which consist of 100 multi choice questions on Canvas.

Professor Borges was by far the worst professor I had in college. She provides no instructions for assignments/projects, rarely answers emails, doesn't enter a single grade until the last week of class, and sends assignments to be graded by other professors. If you don't want to hate your last semester, take any other professor for this course.

Borges doesn't provide clear instructions on assignments or projects. There's almost no communication between teacher and students, She does send reminders but are very vague and no help at all. You'll never get a 100% on anything you do no matter what, the max would me a 90. I would never take her again

Unfortunate to have had Borges for this final capstone class. Not sure why UNF pays professors anymore if you can just automate a class - exactly as this professor does. Takes forever to respond to emails (despite having ~5-7 assignments a week, half of which are group efforts), VERY complex syllabus/class structure, offers zero help for any issues

More homework than any other class I've ever taken. Feedback is hard to come by, and if there is feedback it's rude and condescending. Canvas course is hard to navigate- most assignments are in modules, but you have to go searching for the ones that are hidden in other pages. If you miss the assignment, expect a snarky comment about it.

Do not take it as an 8-week course. This class would not be difficult, but with 77 assignments, 17 of which are 3-part discussions and a four-page "reflection," the load is nearly impossible. 20 hours a week with reading the chapters, and I flew through the assignments to get it all done. My other classes suffered.
