terrible professor, extremely boring and dry lectures. Doesn't really provide any assistance during office hours, and grades very tough.

She just wants to have discussion with students in class. You won't learn anything since she is not teaching anything unless you read the textbook.

Feedback and marks on assignments often weren't clear. Even incorporating the feedback in the second submission wouldn't get you full marks so its helpful to go to TA office hours. Lectures were pretty boring and largely unimportant in my opinion but attendance was mandatory since lecture recordings weren't readily available.

Just a bad overall prof imo. Extremely dry lectures and unreasonable marker. It's sad to see her allow students to get away with cheating to inflate the average.

There is a lot to read and assignment instructions are not clear

LOTS of reading, does not teach. Assignments are very broad with little to no instructions, often riddled with mistakes and grammar errors, hence the incredible incompetence. Imagine paying thousands in tuition just to have this airheaded ex-flight attendant individual with no real life business experience teaching you. Go to surrey if need be.

Lectures were useless due to the nature of flipped-classroom technique. barely talks about txtbk content, only on team-building activities in lectures. Final=100% reading, straight memorize, no understand. Assignments are useless and are worth ungodly high with the highest expectations/grading. learned absolutely nothing after this course.

Susan herself is a nice person. However, this course is horribly designed. Lectures were useless as she barely talked about textbook content, and instead went on-and on about team-building. Group assignments are useless busy-work and are worth 40%, graded very harshly so it dragged my mark down. I did not learn anything of value from this course.

Lectures are not relevant to course content, but required because Susan cold calls. This course is solely dependent on your TA as they do all the grading, so ask your TAs grading criteria early in the term. You are also required to work with same group for an entire term, so establish deadlines early to not got docked during group evaluation.

One of the worst profs ever at sfu!!! Don't take a class with her if you can avoid it

Incredibly disorganized. Tons of group work and projects with vague grading criteria. Susan is often out doing case competitions and thus is rarely available to speak outside class whether it be in person or by email. TAs were also exceedingly unhelpful and would refer me to email Susan, who didn't respond even once.

Terrible prof. Does not know what she's doing at all. Even the TA's hate her and say shes incompetent. For the final she gives no direction and just tells you to read like 13 chapters with 6 sub chapters for each. Even for regular assignments the criteria is terrible and she never explains them.

Cool person, engaging with students, but terrible teacher. Classes were incredibly urorganized, cheating was rampant, and even TA's don't know what shes doing. Making 201 mandatory with her is ruining Beedie's reputation. If SFU wants to reach the “avg school but good business program” tier like queens, western, they need to change their staff.

She is terrible, hope she quits

Holy she's so disorganized, comes to lectures late and is unprepared. The TAs never know what's going on due to her lack of communication with them. Her emails are the most confusing thing ever cuz she's always forwarding chain emails to the whole class. Criteria sheets on assignments are very vague and hard to understand. Take smo else if u can.

She is a really kind and caring prof, but I have never met someone so unorganized in my life. She sends too many emails and is never straightforward in what she looks for in work. The comprehensive exam was extremely situational and studying was not even worth it. Great personality, terrible teacher.

Comprehensive exam (the only exam in the course) contained almost little to no readings. Her assignments are very vague is disorganized - ask your TAs for clarification (Kwan Tran is goated, answered my emails at 2:30AM) The final project was extremely unclear. The judges for the project were not properly prepped to judge.

This woman was genuinely the worst professor I have ever had. She made me want to give business up altogether. Her lectures made no sense. Didn't teach all the material but expected us to know it. No one did well on test. She should not be allowed to teach. Waste of my time. No grading outline. No way to know what you are at. No clear guidelines.

Please do not take this professor if you can. Disorganized, doesn't care about her job, not responsive, I can't imagine she opens any emails she receives. TA's and and every student feels the same way. There is no passion as a teacher from her. If you want to bomb your GPA and waste your time, please go for it.

Atrocious. One word. that's it.

she wasn't prepared ever and is very bad at managing her class and setting deadlines, lots of glitches or confusion

Too bad most of Business Major have to take BUS 201 in the first semester as this class with Susan is the worst possible introduction to uni. Disorganized, didn't teach yet had high expectations, unclear assignments and everything depends on your TA. My TA was horrible and unhelpful. Tim and Susan - get it together please.

Comprehensive exam (the only exam in the course) had barely ANY textbook material. Only the assignments were, but they have vague rubrics. TAs are important as you can ask for clarification (Kwan Tran is goated, answered my emails at 2:30AM) The final project was extremely unclear. The judges for the project were not properly prepped to judge.

Awful professor, unorganized, and rarely gives a clear explanation. Final was based on textbook, but barely any questions were related to the text. Surprise in class assignments. Never knew how much my assignments were worth. Never got grades back for assignments, and was just handed a final grade. Never take a class with her, she'll tank your GPA.

The worst prof I've ever had. Incredibly disorganized and confusing. I have no idea how someone let her teach anything, let alone a course at a university. Has absolutely zero clue how to use canvas. Made numerous careless mistakes in so many ways. Even the TA's rarely ever knew what was going on. But, great person, super nice.

Taking this class hurt my soul. Susan has no idea how to use technology and even when she somehow manages it, her instructions are unclear and frequently contradictory; it's basically Russian roulette if you've interpreted the question right. The type of TA you get will hard carry you but even they can't help when the final is 50% out of syllabus.

This was the worst introductory course to business. It tested limited material reviewed in class, and the comprehensive exam seemed like it was meant for students to fail. Susan was terrible at communication, from communicating with her students to her TAs (mine was terrible and they do all the marking). Overall the worst teacher I have ever had.

Susan overall is a very nice and caring professor BUT...the COURSE IS HORID!!! It is extremely disorganized, not all resources are available on Canvas, everything is self taught, TAs are tough markers, difficult quizzes, lecture heavy, and calls out people in class. PRAY that you pass the exam because half of it isn't even based off of the content.

DIABOLICAL. So disorganized and absolutely had no clue what was going on. The textbook was useless, no direction whatsoever and I had no idea what my grades were until the very end. The entire class did bad on the exam considering it is impossible no matter how much you study. Future Beedie students avoid her for your own good

unorganized professor teaching all over the place and gives quizzes that has nothing to do with the material given that week.

This class is disorganized. The Canvas was released late, and materials were often uploaded last minute or during class, wasting time. She's bad at keeping the TA accountable, making it hard to get help. The course is meant to be engaging, but her teaching style is scattered and dull. Poor organization and ineffective lectures—avoid if possible.

disorganized，not following lecture

Avoid her class at all costs. She is extremely disorganized and never responds to emails. Her lectures are boring and you learn absolutely nothing. She never communicates with the TA and most of the time they are on different pages when it comes to assignments and marking. We also went 8 weeks without a tutorial. She's very nice and caring however.

This prof is quite nice to her students but has zero capability to maintain an organized outline. She has no idea how the TA is marking and it seems the marking criteria is completely different from TA to Prof.

Instructions on what is due and what doesn't have to be done is unclear leaving students wondering whether or not it will count towards marks in class/tutorial assignments. TA has very tough marking rubric where nobody gets top marks and average is close to 60% - 75%. Group assignments are fine. Just don't expect to get top marks.

Terrible prof and terribly structured course. Grading rubrics were unclear, and feedback was not given on assignments, despite the last assignment supposedly being based on “improving” our work based on “feedback”. Often the TA, Susan, and the slides were all contradicting each other on guidelines. Final project was also due in the middle of exams.

Welcome to BUS217w, where the professor yaps about nothing for the first half of class, and you get an assignment with confusing or no instructions for the latter half. I Hope you're ready to receive 70% on every assignment/project with 0 explanation and feedback!

This course is a joke

It insults me that this person has rationalized their employment to SFU. Her class is similar to the spring of the mill summer camp your parents send you to try and repair their broken marriage on a whim. Expect to learn nothing just regurgitate what ever she posts on the on the slides. She makes the comprehensive exam sound harder than it is.

Passive aggressive
