I absolutely love Professor Chaves, she is one of the best Professors in Darla. She truly cares about her students and teaches you skills that you'll use all throughout your career. Mostly projects that are super fun and useful. Test are straight forward so if you study you will do well. No textbook or homework other than article reading. Take her!
Great teacher. Clear grading criteria, really helps you understand the hiring process of many corporations. Really cares about keeping lectures interesting. For exams if you do the review (which she gives you) you will do fine (80+). Group work is fun and engaging.
As an international student, I really get inspired by Professor Wanda's amazing up-to-date lecture and career experience. Moreover, she was always there to help me even outside of the classroom. Her course gives me the best experience in college four years!
Honestly, professor Chaves is my favorite professor I have ever had. She has the most interesting life and centers the class around topics we will actually need in our careers. She is so engaging & genuine and has helped me so much professionally! She doesn't try to trick you, just genuinely wants you to be prepared to get a good job. TAKE HER!!!

Dr. Chaves is a great professor! Inspirational and makes the content relevant for our lives and not just the exam.

She gives clear expectations and is very willing to help. Overall, I would recommend this class and this professor!
Her classes involve major group projects which can be tough to coordinate. She has high expectations for students but is incredibly caring. I struggle to stay focused sometimes as with any online class. Do your best to pay attention, have fun with the projects and you will leave feeling like you actually learned something! Overall highly recommend
This is my second time taking this professor, so hopefully this serves as clear indication that students should definitely take one of her classes whenever they can.

Wanda has been one of the most engaging professors I've had at UofSC. She does a great job connecting her real world experiences to her lectures and including examples of topics that align with students interests. The group project is extensive, but manageable and she allows meetings during class time. Doesn't try to fool you on exams.
This is my second class with Prof. Chaves and I wish I could take more! She is so kind and cares about her students successes in and out of the classroom. Fun semester-long project. Do yourself a favor and take her class!!
Really great! You can tell that she really does care about all of her students and wants everyone to succeed. I genuinely enjoy her class and appreciate her as a professor!
Professor Chaves is always very passionate in her lectures, and with my class at 8:05 am, it truly made the difference in keeping my attention and motivating me to participate in the class. This course has multiple exams throughout the semester, and all the information will be applied into our semester long group project.
Ms. Wanda Chaves is a great instructor, I highly recommend.
So far this has been the smoothest online class I have taken here at South Carolina. Dr. Chavez works diligently and effectively at creating her own materials, tests, and projects to ensure that it is not just a cookie-cutter class, but rather teaches you about the real world while also remaining interesting. She cares a lot about her students.
Dr. Chaves is the best professor I have ever had at the Moore School. She makes the material very easy to comprehend, has an extensive background in the field, is incredibly caring for her students, offers very helpful feedback, and truly prepares you for the workforce in ways that other professors simply cannot compare to. TAKE HER CLASSES!

Take as many classes as you can with her!!
Professor Chaves is a great teacher. Her lectures are super engaging and she is just a kind person. She is a hardworking professor who puts a lot of effort into preparing slide decks and giving meaningful feedback to students. I 100% recommend taking her but do not expect to breeze through her class.
A phenomenal thesis advisor! I recommend her to anyone. I was starting my accelerated master's program while also writing my thesis and juggling work; she understood and worked so well with all that in mind! Never thought my thesis process would be relatively stress-free, but she made it that way. Caring. Quick communicator. Kind. Loves to help!
Wanda served as my thesis director and was absolutely incredible. Her feedback was always detailed and valuable, and she quickly responded to emails. She also expressed genuine interest in my work and made me feel as though the effort I put into my project was appreciated. I would definitely recommend her as a thesis director!
Everything about the course was engaging and made me push myself to be a better person, individually and professionally. The project really helped me push out of my comfort zone and release creativity in a group setting. I also have never had a positive group experience before, and this class broke that trend for me. Total of 5 grades.
Professor Chaves has been a great teacher for MGMT 406. She has a lot of real world experience that pertains directly to the material she covers and does a great job keeping students engaged.

Loved this class, never went to a lecture after like the 3rd week. Crammed for exams using slides and got B+ on both. Group presentation was fun and easy. Highly recommend this class.
I took Prof. Chaves this past semester, she was very caring and passionate about both courses, 405/406. She has a-lot of experience and twice as many stories. From the beginning, she told us that this is a job and class setting so attendance is very important. Also, she was very easy to talk to and understanding.
Dr. Chaves is an incredibly inspirational professor who really cares about her students! She teaches management skills as well as life skills in her class and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it! Her exams are fair and she gives plenty of in class time to work on group projects. If I can, I will definitely try to take another class of hers!

Professor Chaves is an amzing teacher. She is passionate about what she teaches and engages the students to make the lectures exciting. Exams were straightforward as long as you studied the PowerPoint and study guide she provides and there was a lot of extra credit on there as well. I definitely recommend this class
I took this class totally by curiosity and I am not disappointed. Don't be scared by the "human ressource" tittle that can refer to a long 3 hours class it is anything but that. The class is amazing with good ppt and anecdote from the teacher. With a good learning of the course content the exam are not impossible. I highly recommend it!!

Really great professor. Took online during the summer and was very flexible with work requirements etc. Would definitely recommend. One of the few courses where I am excited to learn and am learning about the world and customs that matter in business.
I'm currently in Professor Chaves' MGMT406 course (online), and she is wonderful!

Make sure to take notes on the lectures, be mindful of examples, and ask yourself questions about concepts and you will succeed.

Professor Chaves is a great professor and cares about the material and students equally! Provides great real world examples as well to help cement concepts rather than just definitions and memorization. Highly recommend!
Could not recommend more. I took her for a summer class. 2 tests, weekly quizzes, and 4 videos you had to make. Super straightforward and her lectures are awesome. Each test has a ton of extra credit.
One of the greatest professors!! Her class was online and she posted all the material on the first day so you could do the work at your own pace. Her lecture videos were between 25-35 minutes and were super easy to follow. She responded fast to emails and after every video you took a quiz which was quick and easy! I could not recommend her enough!
Ms. Chaves is an amazing professor! Very easy to get in touch with. Her lectures are very easy to follow, and the weekly quizzes come straight from the videos. I would 100% take her again!
The class itself was pretty common sense. I definitely recommend taking notes and studying them before the tests solely because the exams are super lecture heavy. Also, make sure to be watching the weekly ted talks even if you aren't doing the discussion since it isn't required.
I took the completely online, asynchronous class for MGMT 371 and I would definitely recommend her. You can work ahead and all her lectures and quizzes are already posted online. There are only 2 exams during the entire semester and they are pretty easy.
Dr. Chaves is an amazing professor- everyone at USC should take her at least once! Her lectures are full of amazing stories and she brings real-world examples to usually boring HR topics. She's very passionate about teaching, and group projects which usually suck are actually cool and fun!
Such a nice online class to take. Super kind professor, you take 1 quiz and 1 discussion per week and watch 1-2 lectures. Watch the lectures and the quiz and exam will be self-explanatory. Overall amazing MGMT 371 class
Dr. Chaves is absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend her as she is so passionate and knowledgeable on the subject. She makes the class really interesting and the work is fairly easy.

Wanda is a really enthusiastic and caring professor! She is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the class. There are group projects in the class, so you need to have good self-discipline and communication skills to succeed in this class.
The teacher is very dedicated to the class and the main project to do over the entire semester. For international students, she is very kind and will always try to help you understand if you are lost. I really recommend the class and the teacher The project requires a bit of time, however, you will have class time to do it.
She is so nice, take her! No projects in the online version, just weekly quizzes that are taken straight from the lectures. Test questions are also straight from the lectures. A lot of info so def study and use quizlet, but she's not trying to confuse you. Answers emails quickly, and the video lectures are actually pretty interesting. 10/10 prof :)
Professor Chaves is amazing! By far one of the most impactful, understanding, caring teachers I have ever hard! All the online lectures were extremely interesting and gave me knowledge that I actually used and applied into my every day life and an interview! She allows you to work ahead too! If you can take her I highly recommend you do.

Professor Chaves is one of the best professors at Darla. She is so passionate about teaching and wants to see everyone succeed. She is very qualified with an impressive HR background. She makes her lectures interesting by taking a story telling approach. She is willing to help with anything (inside and outside of class). Can't recommend her enough.
There's only 2 exams and the first one was kinda hard only bc I was having a bad day and wasn't prepared. Her experience she talks about in the videos are awesome and this is definitely a professor I would want to connect with because of her connections. She wants everyone to do well and the one quiz a week is super doable. Take her!
This teacher is so caring and enthusiastic. She clearly loves teaching and cares so much about her students. She knows what she's talking about and is super helpful even outside class. I would definitely take this class/this professor again!
Even though it's an online class, Wanda is so caring and clearly wants her students to succeed. She posts lecture videos every week along with a quiz. Watching and taking notes on the lecture is necessary for the quiz, but if you do that then this class is so easy.
Chaves genuinely cares about her students which she does a great job of showing even though it's an online course. There are typically about 1-1.5 hours worth of lecture videos, 1 quiz, and a blog on blackboard each week. Definitely take her if you can!!
I really enjoyed Dr. Chaves and plan to take her again next semester! She is very understanding but upholds expectations for class presentations. She requires active participation in class so be prepared to have your camera on for the duration of class. She tells many stories about her real-world experience as a consultant!
I absolutely recommend Professor Wanda. The class is structured and well organized, from day one, all the contents are already uploaded in case you decide to work in advance. I wish all the professors were like her. The lectures are entertaining and inspirational full of great stories of her previous experiences, she loves her work. TAKE HER CLASS
Professor Chaves is extremely well organized which allows her students to excel. Also, her lectures are very engaging. Overall, it is clear she cares so much for her students as well as her courses. If you ever need to reach out to her, she will answer almost immediately. I would certainly take her class again.
Professor Chaves is very passionate about management and does a great job of interacting with students through discussions. Exams are easy and I dedicated maybe 1-2 hours to this class each week. It's hard not to get an A in this class.
Professor Chaves is a wonderful person. Throughout my online course, she always tries to make the lecture more interesting by sharing about her stories as an example of the material in class. She also always smiles at the start of every lecture. Just take notes and studies the notes and make sure to remember the due date and you should get A
Please take her! She is one of the most inspiring professors I have had at UofSC and she genuinely cares about her students. You learn meaningful content and she doesn't assign an overwhelming amount of work. Take the time with her to meet outside the classroom, she has so many interesting stories! 2 exams online, 1 quiz a week, and a discussion!
Professor Chaves is very knowledgeable and passionate about the topic. I enjoyed this class a lot and would recommend taking Wanda Chaves for any class!
What a great professor! Does not make you read the book because she provides / explains each concept you need to know. You can tell by her presentations that she is an interesting, personable, and caring person. Highly recommend.
Extremely easy online class. Just make sure not to forget about quizzes. Due 5pm every Monday and very easy to forget. Class requires about an hour of work a week
AMAZING professor! All online, but she is super quick about responding to emails if you have questions. Work isn't super time consuming, just weekly lectures and a quiz after watching them. Definitely recommend for MGMT 371.
Online class: she is great...gives lots of helpful examples from her own life, you only need to watch her videos (don't waste time reading textbook), she gives guided notes so you know what to write down for the final, final is on blackboard not lockdown just multiple choice. V easy class
I learned so much from this course about business in different cultures and the importance of HR. Professor Chaves has so much experience to share and inspires you as a student and person. The class is two exams (straightforward if you study) and one semester long group project that is really interesting and unique. I highly recommend taking her!
Professor Chaves not only gives very thoughtful and interesting lectures, completed by amazing and original group projects, but she is also very supportive of her students, ready to help and available. I highly recommend to follow one of her classes!
Very easy class. Only assignments were quizzes once a week and then exams. She also requires two short video assignments that were very easy. Only downfall is that she makes assignments due at 5pm on Wednesdays so be aware.
Professor Chaves is so sweet. Her lectures are actually interesting and the class itself is not hard at all. Lots of memorization for sure, but all the material bounces off each other so its easy to remember. She is AMAZING. TAKE HER!!!!!!!
Easy class to take as long as you do the work
Professor Chaves is an amazing professor. I learned so much in MGMT 406, especially not being a management/HR major. The class is asynchronous so you can work ahead, and she gives so many reminders on when things are due. You can tell she is passionate about the subject matter, and she makes it so interesting. I highly recommend.
Professor Chaves is one of my favorite professors here at USC. She teaches fully asynchronous; you work by week or ahead. Her lectures are interesting and eye-opening to the different perspectives of management. I also took her for my MGMT 371. She always relates the topics of her lectures to her own professional experiences, which I appreciated.
I've enjoyed Int. HR management so far! Dr. Chaves is def. the professor to take. Weekly quizzes, lectures, and some video assignments but all are super informative and easy to do. As long as you set aside the time and take good notes, you'll do great and learn a lot. Dr. Chaves is super friendly and is always available to help out. Take her!
Such a nice lady who seems to really care. I had no interest in international HR, but it somehow managed to be one of my favorite classes. Exams directly relate to your notes from powerpoint lectures and made it pretty simple. Pay attention to the extra credit portions! Just putting in effort should result in a pretty good grade.
This was the second online class that I have taken with Professor Wanda. She always gives a clear expectation on the course and tells us exactly what we need to do to receive that grade we want. Assignments can be a little time consuming but she gives great feedback and never gives her students more than they can handle. I highly reccomend taking!
Professor Chaves is a wonderful professor. Super accessible outside of class and cares a lot about her students. She makes work super engaging and actually fun to do rather than busy work. I recommend her. Class is not hard but you have to put the work in

She provides clear instructions and resources on Blackboard, ensuring we are well-prepared for two examinations, eleven quizzes, and seven video assignments. Additionally, she offers synchronous communication via Zoom for further assistance.
Professor Chaves is amazing and her course is super interesting and applicable. Each week consists of lecture videos, a short quiz, TED talks and a discussion blog. Some weeks there are video assignments but they are fun and interesting! She really cares, is there to help in any way, and makes sure you are not going to be bored or be swamped.
Professor Chaves is amazing! She makes her lectures interesting with personal experiences from Disney and Cirque du Soleil. She is truly passionate about both HR and international business which shows in her lectures and assignments. She's quick to give feedback on assignments and answer emails. I highly recommend professor Chaves!
Highly recommend! Her online asynchronous class is so straightforward and structured, I always feel like I know what to expect each week. She sometimes asks us to create simple videos to present information, and I feel it has helped us to connect despite not being in the same class. Not difficult as long as you put in some effort. Would take again.
Best professor ever! 100% recommend taking her for any course you can. Relates the coursework to her real-life experiences from her past job roles. She cares a lot about her students and is easily accessible outside the classroom. Easy course as long as you do the work. Definitely recommend taking her
This class is taught through online lectures, reading materials, and other online videos. The assignments are fun and engaging. You can work ahead, and the quizzes are all fairly simple. You can tell Chaves cares a lot about the content and she shares fun examples from her previous work.
easy A. be careful of missing the weekly quiz- i missed one and had to be on top of it for the final. easy class, textbook not required. her life is SO interesting and she ties it in to the lectures in many ways. some of the lectures are long and i didn't watch all of them but as long as u manage ur time you'll be fine

She is a fair grader and wants you to succeed and make a good grade. Her classes are fun and she makes things easy to understand. I would definitely recommend.
The best professor you can take during the summer really easy and you can work on your own pace. I basically the course done in a week or two but not the tests are specific time around the different days.Her lectures are pretty good and really enjoy it.
Professor Chaves makes the content engaging and connects it to the real world through her wealth of work experience. The assignments are thought-provoking and the class format, whether online or in-person, promotes independent learning. I found unstuckstudy ai helpful for efficient study prep.

She is very good at responding in a timely manner (usually a few hours max) and exams are straight from the notes and study guide.

I am currently in Mgmt 406 online with professor Chaves. I have really enjoyed her class despite it being at 8:05am. It is really good information to use. I learned the cultural values from this course and have been able to apply them in two of the other courses I am taking. It is a really helpful course for future course.
Love this course with Professor Chaves! The lectures are very detailed and interesting, and all assignments are engaging and very straightforward. Would definitely recommend this class!

Extremely interesting content, a few video assignments, weekly discussions & quizzes, 2 exams total for the semester. Very straight forward and clear with directions and feedback. This was a synchronous online course which met on zoom. No textbook required. Wanda is very nice and understanding & easy to communicate with! Would recommend :)
Shes really cool. There is an online zoom metting for an hour at 8am but other than that its really on your own time to complete the assignments. Shes a really cool person and none of the assignments are very hard. You just have to do your work and you will get a good grade.
Professor Chaves is very passionate about what she does and loves other people and cultures. This class does require a good bit of work though but it is nothing extremely difficult. The projects have really opened my eyes to so many things and this is probably one of the most applicable classes I've taken. She's great, I recommend!!
TAKE HER!extremely knowledgeable & wiling to help while truly caring about her students. I have taken multiple classes because I love her so much! Sometimes it can be a bit frustrating because there are a few projects, which in my opinion are super fun; use power point so much better than loom!
Essentially you have 4 video assignments (10 slides 5-10 min video recording)You are allowed to work ahead on the weekly blog posts (they are so interesting, you watch 2 ted talks and write a short reflection).I would recommend Professor Chaves over and over,I'm actually engaged! If you do your work (it's not bad)you will get a good grade!TAKE HER!

Super easy class. You can watch the lectures on 2x speed and get the discussions and quizzes done quickly. Definitely would recommend taking this class online
Professor Chaves is a great teacher! She always answers emails in a timely manner. The class work is super light, with assignments due, mostly, every Thursday. Due dates may not always be on Thursday tho so always check blackboard since it is an online course. Few tests and video assignments during the course. Definitely recommend Professor Chaves!
Dr. Chaves has been an excellent professor. I cannot speak highly enough about her. She is very helpful and understands that life happens and she is always there to help. She has great stories and the student's best interests in mind. Cannot recommend her enough.
Super nice professor, and assignments were pretty easy. If you watch the lectures you don't even really have to read the textbook except maybe to study for the exams. Assignments were engaging and simple. Only complaint I have is that the assignments were always due at 5:00pm rather than 11:59, making them easy to miss if you don't pay attention.
Easy online class. Can work ahead. Mainly lecture videos and quizzes but some video assignments. Takes about 1-2 hr per week. Everything is on blackboard. Don't really need to buy the textbook either. All info on quizzes and tests are covered in the lecture videos. Easy class to knock out a business core.
Do the work and you will do well in the class .
Professor Chaves is an amazing professor. While MGMT 406 is an online class, she is able to make it interactive. She has many professional connections who come speak with the class. There is a good amount of work, but if you manage your time well you will be fine. Overall, I enjoyed my time in this class and would highly recommend it.
This course requires a lot of hw and extra work. Her lectures a very long, but the quizzes require you to have paid attention to them. First exam was pretty easy, as long as you filled out and reviewed her study guide. Overall, not a bad teacher, just a lot of work for a simple class
I loved this class! There were only 2 exams the whole year but if you study and take good notes. Youll do very well. There were a few video assignments throughout the year that were quick ad fun to do. Would definitely take again!!
She is so nice. Lectures were very engaging and quizzes after were all based on videos. I found the discussions posts enjoyable and fun to see othe peoples responses. If you study and have common sense the exams are easy. She does do video assignments but they are engaging and simple. Very passionate and wants you to do well. Would 100% take her
This class was super easy, I took it online it was an easy A. We had a few video assignments that were the only time you really had to put any effort in at all. Chavez's lecture videos are very kind and she is clearly passionate about management.
Professor Chaves is a polite and enthusiastic professor. Her online section is very easy because you can skip a majority of the lecture and just do the assignments. She has you create videos but she does not watch them. Overall, she makes a business core class very easy and it is hard to dislike her.
She is the sweetest and really cares about her job and being able to share her stories. The class is super easy, she would sometimes not even watch the video assignments. The questions on the quizzes and exams are straight from the lectures and very straightforward. I think there was a textbook, but I did not buy it or need to use it once
Prof. Chaves has so many cool stories about management! This class is super simple and straightforward, but she makes it much more interesting with the lecture videos. I never got to interact with her face to face but felt like I knew her because she was so genuine in lectures videos. Content, weekly assignments, and tests were all a breeze!
If you're considering MGMT 405 asynchronously with Professor Chaves, I highly recommend it. Her class is engaging, with creative weekly video assignments that take about an hour. Exams are fair, and her explanations make concepts clear. Her unique approach keeps the material memorable. If you want a flexible yet meaningful course, take her class!
Professor Chaves is a great option for MGMT 406! Her asynchronous class is very organized. As long as you stay on top of your weekly work, you will do well in the class. The workload is very manageable and she even lets you work ahead. Exams are straightforward and are based off the exam reviews, I highly recommend!
Professor Chaves is a great professor. She uses real-world, interesting examples in lecture videos and responds quickly to emails and questions. Her MGMT 406 class is very structured and she clearly communicates weekly about assignments due. If you watch the lecture videos and complete assignments on time, you will be fine in this class.

Professor Chaves is the best online professor I've ever had! She responds to emails super quick, she offers so many opportunities for extra credit, and her assignments are so engaging. She uses real world scenarios to help you stay connected to the work and it's helped me so much. She cares so much about our success, so stay in touch with her!!
This class is awesome! It's asynchronous, straightforward, and lets you work ahead. Wanda sends frequent reminders about due dates and HR opportunities. I HIGHLY recommend it—I took it as a Darla elective, and it was the best decision. She has great experience, from Disney to consulting, making the course even more valuable.
Professor Chaves is one of the first professors I have had in an asynchronous class that cares about each individual taking her class. She has a very clear syllabus and grading criteria. She is also easy to get in touch with and understands personal issues that arise and will work with you to catch up. She is an awesome teacher.
I love the way Wanda runs this course, as async can pose a challenge sometimes. She's incredibly engaged with us despite the virtual format, and genuinely cares about us as well as our futures. Great insights from industry, which back up the material taught, as well as a focus on developing awareness of the global landscape. I definitely recommend!
She is very reasonable and the content is consistent from week to week. It has been the best online class I have taken so far!
Great professor. 2nd class taken with her. If you do the work you will get a good grade in the class. Assignments are easy if you pay attention. Really cares about her students and would definitely recommend taking her classes.
She is very sweet and provides excellent feedback. She gives ample time to complete assignments with clear instructions. It's an easy upper-level business elective if you need one.
Professor Chaves was an amazing professor. For an online asynch course, I was so surprised how organized and easy to use her blackboard was set up. She made sure to send updates every week on what was due and was so on top of grades. We had assignments due on Tuesdays & Thursdays and we could work ahead as far as we wanted. She gave great feedback!
Wanda Chaves is one of the best professors I have had in a while, and this is saying a lot since the course was all online. The layout of the course was easy to understand and complete with an assignment or two due each week. As long as you are watching her lecture videos and completing the assignments, you will pass this class with flying colors.
Professor Chaves is a wonderful professor that truly cares and values the education she gives her students. Everything in the modules are clear and concise. The lectures are a tad long, but valuable and informational. The case studies, assignments, quizzes, and exams are super easy. Take her with any Management course! You won't regret it!
Professor Chaves is the best online professor I have ever had. Her class is organized and easy to follow and she genuinely cares about her students. She is a super inspiring person and I have learned a lot in her class. If you do the work, the class is not difficult to do well in. Highly recommend!
Wanda is awesome! Super sweet and wants you to absorb the material through stories and examples. Many video lectures and required readings in this asyncronous class. Would definetly reccomend her. This class does require alot of reading and video lectures so prepare for that. Alot of work, but I definetly learned alot and loved her as a professor.
Professor Chaves does a good job making this online course manageable. She is clearly passionate about the content and very knowledgeable, but the overall topics discussed can become repetitve and dull. If you are looking for a laid-back business elective to fill a credit she is a good choice, but I feel that I did not gain much from the course.
The best teacher. It is a lot of work, but it is simple. She gives very clear instructions. I 100% reccommend
Professor Chaves is a professor you need to open your perspective to improve your life. Every class you are learning excellent material and life lessons. She doesn't make the material difficult as well. All you have to do is watch her lectures and participate in discussions. Easily top 3 professor I've ever had. I took her for two courses btw.
Professor Chaves is amazing! I've taken her twice at USC, and she truly cares about her students. Her lectures are detailed, and the assignments are meaningful and applicable to real life. This is a great senior-year course that offers insight into interviews, onboarding, and the corporate world. Highly recommend!
I had Wanda Chaves for MGMT 406 and MGMT 405 (both asynchronous). There are two easy exams in each class and a good amount of assignments/video assignments; however, as long as you complete everything on time, you will easily pass the class. Easy management electives with lessons you can actually use in your life and in your professional future.
Easy A online class for an IB elective. Very structured and simple weekly homework – just plan ahead cuz some assignments take a while. Loved the flexibility and structure of this course, would highly recommend!
She is an amazing professor! She is so understanding and helpful! As long as you do the work and follow her examples you will pass with flying colors. There are no pop quizzes! I took it during the summer and it was a breeze!
One of the best and well-rounded classes ever, she uses different videos and interesting topics to keep us engaged but still gets her point across. It was truly a great class, different from most of the others I have taken. The exams were unproctored, and you do not need to buy the textbook either. Just make sure to finish things on time!
One of the better Professors. I took her over the summer, and the main objective was to watch 4 40 minutes videos weekly and take good notes. I found that as long as you kept up with the syllabus, you were fine. I was also working full time and found the course manageable.
super easy class just incredibly tedious and time consuming. the assignments and lectures take forever but as long as you complete everything on time you will be fine. its better to turn in a half completed assignment instead then to try and turn something in late she has no leniency on that but otherwise very chill.
I have taken three courses with Professor Chaves and I cannot say enough good things! Her lectures are clear and easy to follow, she explains concepts in a way that makes sense, and she truly cares about her students. She also gives detailed, constructive feedback. If you have the chance, definitely take her!!
The charisma and inspiration that Professor Chaves was able to display through the computer screen was unmatched. It was so clear she put hard work into structuring the class and that everything we were learning was intentional and interactive. I always was interested and watching her videos and learning.
Take her, DO IT! You will not regret it! Her lectures are prerecorded but are still highly engaging. She has so many different experiences in the management world and she references them in her lectures. Assignments are due at 5pm so I would recommend working ahead. This has been one of my favorite classes I have taken.
This has been one of my favorite classes I've taken. I loved all of the presentations we've had from speakers around the world, very eye-opening and inspirational! Wanda does a great job keeping the class engaged in every lecture even with it being an online class. Highly recommend!
Wanda is one of the best professors I have had at Darla. I have taken 2 courses with her and have loved every second of both of them! There are so many guest speakers from all over the world, and every presentation is so interesting! I HIGHLY recommend taking Wanda, you will not regret it!
Dr. Chaves has a passion for the subject of international management and she uses her experience and connections to actually educate her students on the topic. Participation matters in her zoom class so be prepared to get called on to answer. The only things that can get tedious are the video assignments but they are doable and not difficult.
I love Dr. Chaves's class! She's very experienced, is kind and cares about her students. She structures her lectures for our benefit, like the content required and inviting guest speakers every other week. It's participation heavy and she will call on you. There are lots of assignments but they're not hard to do and you will benefit from them.
Sweet, caring, knowledgable, and experienced in her field. She cares that you learn something from her class. Great professor! Mandatory attendance because of class participation. Prepare to be called on in every class to answer/ask questions. 1-2 Ted Talk discussion posts and quizzes weekly. Easy quizzes and exams. One easy group project.
easy, engaging, structured well and so so nice
She Is really an amazing teacher! Has everything broken down into folders for each week and it was really easy to follow! A good bit of work but it helps that there are a lot of points available to help with grade! Always responds and is very nice and understanding! Definitely would recommend her to anyone who needs international hours! So sweet!
Professor Chaves is a great professor! She is very friendly, accessible, always willings to help, and very passionate about HR. I love how she structures her courses and the content is actually interesting. Each module includes clear instructions, examples, and due dates -- her blackboard is the most organized that I have ever seen.
Professor Chaves is organized, friendly, and always willing to help. She makes our Zoom classes engaging and easy to follow. The course has a good balance of group work, weekly quizzes, and video assignments that keep us learning and connected. Highly recommend her class!
I really enjoy Professor Wanda's class. Even thought it's an early class through zoom, she keeps everyone interested and makes fun to learn. I really like her guest speakers as they come from various industries from different countries. I 100% recommend taking her class.
Her class is very straightforward if you do the work or assignments each week. She is very organized and clear during class what is due each week. She is very caring, take her!
I really enjoyed this class! I learned a lot about management around the world and how different cultures approach work. The guest speakers were awesome, and the online work, notes, and exams were super easy to follow.
This is really good class to take as you will learn a lot about other cultures. Assignments are really manageable and the video assignments are pretty fun too. You will receive great feedback on video assignments. I would definitely recommend students to take this class!
Strongly Recommend, one of the best courses I've taken in college!
Great professor, really cares about her students, even when it is an online class. As long as you pay attention (which isn't hard) and do all your work, you will do fine in this class. Couldn't recommend her enough
Professor Chaves is an excellent professor, and I would highly recommend her to anyone! She obviously cares about her students' success, and the work is not too difficult. There are a lot of assignments, but they are all very interesting and fun.
