The lady is slightly nuts. She is an "okay" grader. She gives a group grade on presentations instead of individual ones. She is the easiest teacher of all busx teachers and she is not so easy. She breaks up all projects into pieces so it's less overwhelming. If you want to redo something, ask her and she'll let you redo it.

The class is pretty intense in the amount of work. The key to getting a good grade is having a good group that does their fair share of work. 2 presentations and quite a few long written assignments. Tough grader but class can be entertaining. Definitely buy/borrow a suit or business attire for the presentations. DO NOT MISS ANY CLASSES OR BE LATE. I managed a B in the class.

Great professor, keeps class interesting. The book is cheap (about $12) Only downside is she has a tough attendance policy. Attendance is mandatory. Every absence takes 3% off your final grade, lateness 1% off your final grade. So if you skip class alot, find another teacher. If you think you'll come to class you'll get a good grade.

As other people have said, ATTENDENCE IS MANDATORY. If you like to skip classes, do not take this. You are put into groups early on in the course, and much of your grade depends on group work. Go to the 'adventure weekend' activity (it makes a big difference in your group). You're required to go to a few events outside of class, pain for commuters

She's hilarious and smoking hot too (I know you are reading this Professor Case... Give me an A). Class is a lot of busy work and overall it is kind of worthless. However, Professor Case's lectures are interesting and makes the class more bearable.

For a business professionalism class, there are a couple things she did that were the farthest thing from professional. I can remember she brought up some off topic debate during one class that I simply stood up and left because I don't pay to talk politics in business classes. I learned more than I usually would from a class though. Shes fair.
