Almost everything is online, just 2 in class presentations and 3 assessments. Lectures are boring but if you go and copy the notes you're guaranteed at least a B on the online tests and quizzes. In class tests are harder than she makes it sound but she'll help you get a good overall grade. Great overall for a gen Ed and she's a super sweet lady!

Sweetest prof ever-brings candy, even bought a kid tropical smoothie once. Let's class out early sometimes, all tests at home online, 3 or 4 in class quizzes (study) but she gives you 5 minutes to use your notes before turning in! Very minimal homework (10 mins per week), 2 short papers (but she cut one as extra credit!), posts ppts. TAKE HER!!!

Most of King's class is online. 1 online assignment due every week and all exams are taken out of class online. Only 4 on class quizzes that are open note for 5 minutes. Not the easiest class I've ever taken but King is a sweetheart and is always willing to help you out. You don't really use the textbook either. I would recommend taking King!

Lindsay was ok. Her lectures were long but I feel like they didn't help me at all on the tests. You need to read/study the textbook. The test questions are very confusing. There is a group project which she is not very helpful with but I think that's because she wants her students to be independent and create it themselves with minimal guidelines.

Overall an easy class. She just reads off the slides which are posted, so if you're willing to look at those outside of class attendance isn't necessary. Kind of boring, I found myself working on other classes when I did go to class. If you study an easy A, if not an easy B.

She is awesome, so nice. Attendance is optional, but class usually ends early anyways. Weekly quizzes and one assignment a week you can do with a group in class. Tests are very doable if you study. Very chill class, highly recommend.

Dr. King is so sweet and caring. Her class was clearly outlined, and as long as you go to class and take notes you will do well. The tests were kind of hard, but I got above a B on all of them with just an hour of studying. She always ends class early, and there are group assignments. There is an open note quiz each week, which also helps ur grade.

Class isn't too difficult, but you do have to study for tests because they are critical thinking based if you want an A. Grade compromises of quizzes, 4 tests, and some class assignments. For our class she let us do 1 test corrections that helped. Dr. King is super sweet and helpful so I highly recommend her!

Dr. King was good for business 160 as a gened but it was not the most exciting class i have ever taken. Lectures are dry and she reads straight off the powerpoint. Tests are application based so you actually need to understand what is going on which can be harder than you might think. I would chose her for 160 again over the other options.

Dr. King is an amazing teacher! The tests are completely off the McGraw Hill textbook SO BUY THAT ONE!! I 100% recommend taking her. She is engaging and really sweet. She really roots for you to do well. The tests are kinda hard because they are application based but if you do the readings and take some notes during the lecture you'll be ok.

Prof. King is such a nice lady, however she will not budge for extra credit. There are four tests which are all online on lockdown in class, no midterm, no final, and a quiz weekly on canvas. This is a very heavy weighted test taking class, so I don't recommend if you are not good at test taking.

Professor King was amazing, her class is definitely an easy A!! The class has 4 online exams that are in person. She typically gives a weekly open note quiz and an easy assignment. My one piece of advice for this course is to use the test study guide that she posts. The study guide has every term and topic that is on the test, which get you an A.

She was engaging though out the whole semester and there was a good chunk of homwork but nothing outrageous, could easily be done in 20 minutes.

She is a great professor and explains things well. There is short group work once a week with your table partners, it isn't hard, but make sure to attend class. Tests shouldn't be too much of a problem if you study the class notes. Quizzes are online and they make you get the questions correct before you finish, so it's an easy grade boost.

The tests are based on the slideshows she goes over, and you can get away with studying the night before if you attend the lectures. She is very nice and understanding, you can always go to her if you have a question. She randomly takes attendance when there is group work due, but she drops 3 of those grades.

Attendance not mandatory but she does in class group assignments so you have to go. Test scores were so bad that she got rid of the remaining 2 tests and did 3 quizzes instead. Test questions are worded like riddles and are basically set up for you to get the wrong answer. Gave us one extra credit opportunity. Nice woman, but not a very good prof.

Professor King is amazing. Standard lectures, but if you miss class you will miss tablework points and test information from what she says or writes on the board. Points help lessen the ticky-worded multiple-choice assessments. She is super nice and had extra credit. Helps your grade if you connect with her. Engage with the class for a good grade.

I wouldn't take a business class unless it's your major. Business isn't as easy as it seems. Dr King is a great professor. She wants to see all her students pass the class. She gives good amounts of work. She's aware of the "activities" on campus so sometimes she'll cancel class. She did for us for Halloweekend and days after football games.

Pretty easy overall, homework doesn't take much time and gives a lot of chances to boost your grade through attendance. Two mandatory presentations that don't end up taking much time but count for a good amount of the grade. Exams aren't too hard as long as you spend some time studying before and she posts all of the slides.
