This class was insightful, the weekly forums challenge you in real-world management situations and she gives great feedback on every assignment. You need to read the book and study the review for each test, but they are not very difficult. It is clear she has a wealth of experience ans takes time to question your decisions in the discussions.

a really nice teacher indeed; loves what she's teaching! lectures are pretty easy to understand, she gives real-life examples to relate to and also lets us watch videos in almost every lecture. Easy A if you study.

I sincerely do not recommend taking this class because this class takes up a lot of your time if your doing other classes at school. If this were your only class then it would be fine. Even though the exams are online that does not mean you can search up answers. Trust me i have tried to use my resources. Overall this class is time consuming.

Ms. Fritz made this class enjoyable. There was not a lot of homework and you can do the homework "quizzes" as many times as you would like. The one aspect of the class that requires more time is the mikes bikes simulation but that is an hour maybe two outside class. I had 20 units and was working that quarter and that class was completely managable

Hybrid class was very useful with the added business simulation game: "Mike's Bikes". This on-line game takes a couple of sessions to get the hang of but then it's a really good learning experience. Hints for the game: watch the on-line tutorials, read the introductory information and look at all the key reports and ask questions.

Positive and energetic. Fair amount of writing via online discussions. Choice of book for leadership is okayish. But passionate. Allows to resubmit assignments, late work accepted but penalized.

Took her late start summer course.

Plus the textbook she uses is only 30 dollars. YOU WILL NOT REGRET TAKING HER CLASS.

Her online class is manageable around a busy schedule. Homework is focused around discussions/responses and a little chapter work (2 assignments a week). Her grading can be tough, but she allows extensive grace periods around due dates and re-submissions. Tests cover 4-5 chapters at once and her study method is not relevant which makes them tough.

Great professor, BUT uses Proctorio for online midterms. Lectures are derived from the Flatworld Textbook (which is pretty cheap), and the 3 tests are based on the flashcards. Do the reading and make sure to participate in class. Grading is mainly determined by three open-note midterms, 40 M/C questions each. You get three tries at the homework.

I would not retake her class! On many occasions she would respond extremely rude when asked questions that she SHOULD KNOW the answer to. Her simulations have too many glitches in them and the material is all over the place. She's also super unhelpful and blames it on "having too many students."

Professor Fritz is a very knowledgable professor who uses her experience in industry to make it relevant and her time as a student at Harvard to be more understanding of student's needs. She gives pop quizzes inclass, that cannot be made up if your absent, so attendance is crucial to get an A. Homework is 50% of the grade with unlimited attempts.
