She is a kind prof. Uses textbook all the time. U will get fair marks if you read the textbook. Most of the students got A average. One problem is that she talks so fast and students always ask her to slow down.. She replies e-mail fast but she prefers to be asked by face-to-face. Overall, she is an easy prof.!

VERY boring class. Pretty sure the only reason 90% of the class took it was because it was mandatory. Case studies were easy as long as you follow all her guidelines. The exam was very hard. Your best bet is to read all her slides, read the textbook, make as many notes from it as you can, cross your fingers and hope you do well.

She talks too fast. Assignments (6 in-class case studies plus a report/presentation done in groups of 3-7 people) were easy, but the exam (multiple choice) was hard. There was no midterm. I took this as an elective, but it ended up being more boring and difficult than I had originally thought it would be.

This prof avoids meeting with students. She is extremely unhelpful if any problems arise (ie with incorrect marking). She is also very rude and unprofessional in emails.

dropped HR 3 times with other profs and I am glad I did. She is an awesome prof. The only suggestion I would have for her is to slow down. She is very knowledgeable and can talk nonstop without looking at slides which is awesome but sometimes it gets difficult to follow and take notes. Overall everyone I know loved her

An awesome professor very fair. Very patient and accommodating. As long as you put the effort and seek help no matter how many times you contact for help she would help, if you skip classes, don't check announcements or bright space for updates and send emails with questions, don' expect anything nice. She makes it clear on day one! loved her class

I admire this professor's patience more than anything. It was embarrassing to hear my fellow students nonsense, not reading instructions and asking basic questions explains tons of the time not to mention posted as well. She never lost cool.

She prerecords lectures on Zoom. Audio cuts out for a moment every minute or so. Very annoying. You can opt out of Respondus for the final exam, but you will have a time penalty if you do so. If you email her, expect a one sentence response at best. She's knowledgeable enough, but avoid her classes until COVID-19 is over and in-person resumes.
