I thought this course was very, very easy. In my opinion, the prof had lack of focus in subject matter and mentioned no real-life business experience of her own.

Mary Han is a fantastic person that TRULY cares for her students; this goes a long way in BUS800. The Appendix (10%), Group Report (20%), and Individual Report (30%) are graded very rigorously, but the Class Participation (20%) is just attendance, so easy 20/20. The Final Exam (20%) was very fair. MAKE SURE you format your reports properly.

Her reviews make her sound too harsh. She is a tough marker because she has expectations from her students but that does not make her a bad professor. She is very enthusiastic and cares a lot. Very accommodating and understanding to situations. She wants everyone to pass and will give bonus grades to ensure it. Pay attention, try and it'll be fine.

she doesn't really teach at all. expects to much from her students and picks on those for answers. Marks very hard and expects the text book to be read before each class. Pls avoid if possible

She expects a lot but it's a capstone class and preparing you for the real world - you should have your life together. Such vital and great information I've learned so far. She's easily accessible outside of class (even during COVID) and if you come to class prepared, participate, and meet with her once outside of class she'll ensure you do well.

She goes out of her way to make the lives of students difficult. That would be acceptable if she was a semi good professor - she is not. She is the epitome of "I was punished as a child, so I must punish my students as well". Honestly, avoid this woman at all cost or get ready to buy a noose. TRSM wont fire her because they dont care about you.

Absolutely atrocious professor. Should not be in teaching. She expects a truly outrageous amount of work for her students out of whack with its weighting. She's demanding, contradictory, a very hard marker, and uncooperative. I hope Ryerson takes a look at her ratings and decides to take action, these types of profs should be blacklisted.

Mary sounds tough, but not really, is what I felt. Given that this is BUS 800, the level of difficulty is as expected. She gives good feedback and taches well. I enjoyed her lectures.

She could do a less confusing syllabus. This course requires a lot of work and if you do the work you will gain valuable lessons to apply in real life. She is very supportive when you ask for help but I kinda felt like military precision was required. Oh and if you have a bad group leave them immediately this course's grading wouldn't tolerate it.

This professor is so lovely as a human being but as a professor she is awful. lets begin with the fact that she gives u weekly work that she doesn't mark, she is horrible at giving feed back, if you don't read the book you won't learn anything. she is extremely disorganized and will not help one bit. if you ask a question she will not answer.

Mary is a really tough prof with extremely high expectations. Course itself is great, you learn a lot esp if you're in co-op you can kind of relate those experiences and learn how to present, analyze companies etc. GET A GOOD GROUP. A bad group will weigh you down. Be tough with your group if you have to. end of the day grade matters more lol

It's a capstone course in your 4th year; be prepared to do work. People nowadays get by doing the bare minimum then complain when a professor actually makes you think and work. Mary won't let you do that lol you have to actually earn your credit. Lots of unnecessary work though; weekly assignments that aren't marked which is tied to attendance.

This professor is amazing! She really cares about her students and is willing to walk through all the steps in order to help them learn. Her teaching style is strict but that is how you learn best, it proves she loves what she does and wants to see students succeed. Detailed grading scheme and half your grade is based on who is in your group

Shes actually a nice lady who cares about u learning material and staying on top of the readings. Overall, you'll get a decent mark if u show up on time and do the work. Downside is if u don't come on time, u can miss attendance; only prof in my undergrad that graded participation marks. you'll learn something just by her teaching methods.

Very contradictory on assignments between her grading criteria and the TA. Calls out random people in class and chooses to mark based on her own evaluation for participation rather than what is given on the course outline instructions. I heard someone's mental health got affected by this class due to the structure of the lectures.

It is really sad to see so many negative reviews about Dr. Han. Personally, I really enjoyed her course. She brings a lot of practical knowledge in strategic management and uses real-life examples, making the lectures more engaging and easier to understand. Keep in mind that this is a 4th year Capstone course, which naturally demands more effort.

Professor Han was one of the best profs I've had at TMU, she is really caring, and tries her best to make sure her students get the concepts and do great on their assignments, gives great feedback and always goes the extra mile to assist us. Attend all classes, take notes and listen carefully and you will do great, she's amazing and respectful.

Marking system is insane. Attendance is huge along with in class participation. Marks some people for a half-mark for half done homework but then zero for others. Feedback is awful and really seems to enjoy making things more confusing and difficult for the entire class. Most people don't know what is going on in the class.

A very under rated professor, she maybe have and accent, as english is her second language, but is one of the nicest professor this university and TRSM has. She is a tough grader but she makes you think beyond the classroom, whole point of the course.She made the make the content relevant and intetesting, coming from someone who has average grades.

The course itself is challenging, and unfortunately, she does not make it any easier. Her redeeming qualities are that she can be quite funny and interesting to listen to, and can give some good life advice, which is fitting for a capstone course, but she can also be quite harsh and unfair at any given time. Overall, I would look for alternatives.
