no need to buy the textbook cuz it is not related to the exam or quiz or assignment. it will not affect your grade no matter u read it or not. it is the easiest course in my university life. very fun in class as well. everybody get high mark..

Comment:

Over all a good prof, lectures can be a bit of a drag sometimes and the textbook is just horrible, excessively long, repetitive, and unnecessarily convoluted.

Very very nice. Crystal clear lectures but can be boring. Exams are okay. The research paper was the only bad thing in this course as they marked it pretty hard but I loved the course.

Comment:

Class is boring and everything is tested out of the textbook, after the first MT no one came to class. Study and memorize the textbook, but her M/C questions on her exams are worded tricky. It's a pretty easy course, but honestly, it's hard to make it interesting, she tries to do a decent job, I went to all lectures just to save study time later

Comment:

i chose her based on RMP ratings-BIGGEST MISTAKE. useless prof who cant lecture; just talks about the book & shows useless videos. if DONT CHEAT, i dont recommend her cuz its easy to cheat for her finals. 3ppl sat in the last row and she didnt care. so the curve is UNFAIR. i watched ppl cheat during the whole exam & she didnt notice/care.

Course material is easy but boring! Lectures were a drag and no one attended. Memorizing the textbook is the way to do well on tests. Quite useless and irrelevant.

Comment:

She's a very clear and understanding prof and tries to make lectures interesting even though the material is very boring. She gives lots of interesting examples. I felt bad for her that half the class leaves during the break and I think she knows it too.Course material is not difficult at all, just memorize the textbook and you'll do well on exams.

Never went to the class(except for the 1st & last class) and managed to get an 'A' by studying the text book. OB is the most boring class I've ever been to.

Her personality was good, she tries to make a useless course interesting. The exams are very straight forward. You don't need to attend lectures though, you get all you need from the textbook.

agreed. the class is easy but you should go to her lecture. there was a question on final exam out of 10 that was covered in class, not in the textbook.

Comment:

Her lectures are nothing more than what's exactly in the text book. Kind of a waste of time. Without even trying I got 80% on the midterm, however since the class is on a curve that's still only a B-...its easy if you need a business class but kinda boring

Lectures may not be too useful, but they're interesting and she tries to make them fun. Make sure to memorize the textbook & this will be one of the easiest courses you'll ever take.

Class is pretty straight forward. memorize the text, and youll do good. mostly MC questions, and 2 long answer question. So far the easiest business class I took.
