Tons of out of class events required to go to. Not accommodating if you have other commitments like work and can't attend events. Also, countless group projects where she grades very tough. If you have a bad group, your grade will also reflect it. One benefit of taking her class is that you get to use notes on exams!

DISCLAIMER: This review is more about the prof than the class (it's pass/fail class, it's pretty difficult to fail) Michele is a tough grader and does not provide much useful feedback. She repeats the same things in class, but attendance is recorded so you have to go. I received low grades on good work for no reason. Take Emily Iverson instead!!!!!

Very nice lady and means well, but awful grader. Many busy work assignments. Typed a 1200 word assignment that was worth 15 points. Never received a 15/15 was always a 14.25 with feedback saying "great job." Did a Group presentation and one of my members skipped the presentation day. We covered and still got 4 pts off for missing a team member....?

She takes an easy class and makes it way harder than it needs to be. Her grading criteria is ridiculously intense for a basic career info class and points are taken off for any little thing. I had a higher grade in every other class, including upper level finance and math. I would recommend finding another section unless you want to waste your time

She really makes an easy class super hard. Super tough grader and will take points off for any little thing. For example, werent allowed to reply to two discussion posts in one day or points would be taken off. Heavy work load and I just dont recommend taking this class with Michele unless you want to waste your time.

She will literally nitpick you out of an A. I got great grades on everything but the group project and I got an A- overall. If you decide to ignore the warnings on this page and take her, ALWAYS READ THE RUBRIC. She does not list everything on the assignment page and hides things in the rubric that you will not even know are required. AVOID!!!

Absolute worst professor I've had at UWW. I would avoid at all costs. She grades so harshly and you waste so much time just completing pointless requirements. You spend 20 hours a week writing endless discussion posts and assignments on stuff that is either common sense or stuff that you will never need to know again. Take any other professor.

Unreasonably tough grader, seems like a much harder work load than other professors teaching this course when I compared with friends in other sections. She was okay as a person but just not a good instructor and I would definitely not take her again. The group project was also really time consuming and not well directed.

In her class you have three graded writings that are worth 60% of your grade followed by the final exam which is worth 20% of your grade. She gives terrible feedback on your writing and will take off lots of points but then not tell you why. She does not provide examples of how the writing is supposed to look. Definitely pick a different professor

Michele Peetz is a nice lady, however a poor professor. Peetz teaches what should be a middle school level class, but turns it into something much more difficult than it needs to be. Course is set up as a pass/fail with 60% of your grade being made up from 3 graded-writing assignments, each worth 20%. Peetz gives inconsistent feedback and lowscores

Peetz is a harsh grader and will take points off for any little thing, such as using the abbreviation of a state vs the whole state name. This is a pass/fail course worth 2 credits and gets made much more difficult than it needs to be, all for no real reason. This class just involves all kinds of extra work that makes it more work than it's worth.

To be honest, I'm not even sure how/why Peetz is still employed by the university. I've attended a different college before UWW and this is my third year here, and between both schools and all my classes so far, Peetz has been the worst professor I've had. She constantly gives out low scores, knit picks every little thing apart, AVOID HER!

Came here to leave a review, but decided I don't need to as the others already describe what I was going to say. Peetz clearly has not changed her ways as reviews with similar complaints date back to prior years and semesters.

DO NOT take Michele Peetz if you can. The course content itself wasnt difficult, but her teaching style and grading style made this class completely dreadful. If you expect to learn anything that is not in the textbook, then you should pick a new prof. Her feedback style is very minimal and she will not clearly explain your errors in assignments.

This class is the biggest waste of time for a 2 credit class. I can pretty much guarantee that any other prof will make better use of your time and will grade more fairly. She makes it such a struggle to just get the credit and I feel like she just is on a 24/7 power trip. My GPA is high and I was worried about passing a pass/fail course. Insane.

Worst professor I've ever had by far. I would transfer schools before I suffered through another one of her classes. Group project is a big part of your grade but she will offer no guidance and take points off for things you never even knew about. Your life will be endless, pointless discussions. Her teaching style is just mean and lazy, honestly.

Out of all my classes this semester, I can't believe the 2 credit pass/fail course is the one I most stressed out about and worried about passing. This class definitely does not need to be this way, but it's the way Peetz makes it-- because as someone else said, she has the power. Overall, Peetz has a bad attitude and poor way of teaching/engaging

I would not recommend my worst enemy take Peetz's business writing course. Never in my life have I had a professor (I don't even think Michele is officially even titled a "professor"), or any instructor who does not want to see their students succeed, rather sets them up for failure. Her comments aka "feedback" on papers is often snarky and rude.

I wouldn't recommend taking a course with Peetz unless you have the superpower of being able to read minds. Michele grades insanely harsh for giving such little direction, explanation, and examples. Somehow you're expected to know what she has pictured in her mind word-for-word what she expects, and if yours doesn't identically match points off.

Worst teacher at UWW. I took her when this was a pass fail class and she failed me. Very little direction, not sure why she works here still. STAY AWAY. I took Orvec the next semester and got over 100%. Same class. Unreal. I wasted time and money with Peetz. For "Peetz" sake get another job. Teaching is not your strong suit. Go back to teaching HS.

Don't expect an A from Michele. 110% effort is still not enough. Heavy on homework, her canvas is confusing - hard to find assignments, lots of busy work, and 3 TERRIBLE assessments, which may be open note- but have none of the same material as in class lectures. 6/10 for personality 0/10 for teaching style

She is possibly the worst grading professor I have had so far. She appears to find very minor mistakes and turns them into major issues. The class itself is easy, but her grading is awful. I followed directions perfectly on multiple occasions, including an INTRODUCTION assignment, and she still took points away for reasons that didn't even apply.

Ms. Peetz does not know her role. It's a Business Writing class, but she wants it to be more than that. Carefully following directions, and putting forth 100% effort are not enough for her. Heavily weighted graded writings - doesn't grade according to the rubric & guidelines. Easily offended if questioned on her subjective grading.

Just do not take this class unless you have no choice in choosing other professors. It honestly feels like the class is being taught by a high-school teacher.

Michele does not actually teach much about business, the first 3 weeks of class(aka 6 classes) were spent going over assignments and how to do them. She assigns almost purely busy work and does not provide in class time to do any of it. Reminds me of a high school teach quite a lot.

I was warned not to take her courses; however, I've previously taken reputably bad professors, and I loved them. Listen to the reviews on here for Michele Peetz! Easiest class but easily the worst professor. If she finds anything minorly wrong in an assignment, she will remove points. She assigns lots of side work only worth 5% of your grade.

All these ratings seem accurate I have been in her course for 3 weeks and she already is doing too much and she is the worst grader in the UWW system. She also reminds me of a high school teacher. DO NOT TAKE!!!

20 quizzes are due in the first week. 9 of them are 30 questions long, just so much content for absolutely no reason complete waste of time. This professor takes this class way too seriously as if is statistics or accounting, do not take this professor heavily regret it, and will end up wasting a lot of time.

She reminds me of a high school professor and she assigns a lot of busy work that is for very little percent of the grade. she is very picky when it comes to grading and assignments and she never accepts when she is wrong and will not admit it either. she is also by far the B****IEST person you will meet.

After taking beindp 101 online I swore I would never take a class with her again but was forced into taking beindp 290 because of my schedule. All she assigns is busy work and any and everything you submit will be criticized with vague feedback. This class sums up to nothing learned and a wasted semester.

DO NOT TAKE. She Is the worst professor here and d should not even be a professor here. She will grade your exams and other things and screw you over the smallest things and it won't make any sense. She gives out pointless busy work that is worth very little and will take you an hour plus. I spent more time on this class than my upper divisions.

AVOID HER!! She is absolutely useless when it comes to actually teaching but expects SO MUCH for a 101 course. Required 3 responses to discussion posts, all on different days. Her lectures just restate the book. Textbook quizzes are oddly specific. Grades super tough. Not helpful if you reach out. Big group project that she grades super harshly.

Worst professor I have ever had. I got an A- in the class and I grinded so hard. Homework at least three times a week. Take literally ANYONE ELSE. My friends had over 100% and they did no homework. I'm begging you to take ANYONE else.

Do NOT take her beindp classes. She assigns way too many connect assignments that can take over an hour to complete. And her lectures consist of reading off slides so nothing is learned from them. Like everyone else is saying, its a major waste of time.

The most unaccommodating professor I've dealt with. Her smartbook assignments are mini exams that are at least 60 questions wrong and she requires 2-3 every week. Don't waste your energy taking her, I'd honestly wait until another professor is available because of how much a dread sitting in her class. The most agonizing 50 minutes hands down

THE. WORST. PROFESSOR. AT. UWW.

Worst professor ever. Way to much work for a 101. Just repeats the textbook. Learned nothing that will happen me advance in life.

Final paper is a paper on this case study that her and her library girlfriend wrote. Treats the 101 class like the Bible. You will be crucified if you slander it.

Everything she tries to explain about the material is self-contradicting. I guess feedback given in the practice assignments doesn't apply to the 3 graded writings that make up 75% of the course. Too much homework that doesn't relate to the writings. Doesn't grade fairly at all.

DO NOT TAKE. She assigns so much homework that barely affects your grade. She would give me 50% on tests when there were only a few tiny mistakes that I could've improved on. Horrible teacher and grading system. Would rather wait for next semester and take an extra class if it meant I would get a different professor.

if you miss class be prepared to tank a 0, you wont be able to make it up, she is really hard to talk to about making up assignments. an average of 3 assignments a week.

Don't take her unless you physically have to. Gives minimal feedback on your practice writings and then slams you on the graded writings. Grades very unfairly.

she picks favorite students, if she doesn't like you she will decrease ur grade on random things. she barley talks about assignments in class but when she does, TAKE NOTES, make sure u write everything down because if u dont add what she says to the assignment in class she will take points off these things aren't included on rubrics or instructions

Michele Peetz is the equivalent of heating up a metal rod and repeatedly shoving it where the sun doth not shine. She is routinely frustrating, more frustrating than that one girl who never gets the message that the world doesn't revolve around her. She treats herself like Madonna just because her name is on the cover of the textbook. #WASHEDAF

I took Professor Michele Peetz for a business class and I swear she grades like shes running the IRS. You turn in an assignment feeling confident and she returns it looking like it survived a crime scene.If you enjoy working twice as hard for half the grade take this class. Its basically business boot camp minus the business and twice the suffering

the best way i could describe peetz is as a nazi jew. she grades our paper like hitlers rating a jewish child dance. she doesnt like questions, and she teaches with her funkbuddy, palraj, sitting in the corner of the room. i hated her class and I would advise everyone to drop her class.
