Comment:

definitely not an easy A by any means because an A is a 94 or above but it is manageable. By taking extremely good notes on everything she lectures and studying extremely before the tests and making sure your homework is done correctly youre fine. She is a very helpful, nice and funny professor, tough grader, but clear about her requirements!

Comment:

Good professor, Don't let the reviews scare you. The class isn't a breeze but if you pay attention or took business / economics related classes in highschool you'll be fine because you'll have a strong enough background for this class. The grading on the tests can be pretty tough but the questions are easy so beware of silly mistakes.

94 and above is an A which is absolutely bizarre. All of her tests are short answers and they have to be on point. Would not recommend her unless you want your other class grades to suffer

Easy class if you work for your grade, make sure you study, Lindemann really knows what she's talking about and I loved being taught by a very intelligent professor. Stay on top of everything and you will do very well. I highly recommend going to every class. She does take attendance. There's a ton of extra credit too.

Brutal Test's. Failed her class twice, insane amount of information to retain. Only talks during class (not how I learn). Would not recommend if you don't do well focusing for 2 hours.

Her grading scale has a 94 and below as a B, yet she grades homeworks and projects as if a 90 is an A.

Physically aged 10+ years from the workload, but was rewarding. Did well, but it was the hardest class that I've ever taken in my entire life. If you do not absolutely love the subject, take the class with the easy professor.

Comment:

I do not recommend taking this professor. Her lectures and workload are heavy, tests are all short answer and I don't recommend taking her as a professor for this class if you don't want to deal with five pages of short answer tests. As a student with a full-time schedule, she makes it so that I have to focus on my other classes less.

Comment:

Prof gives really good lectures. The homework she gives are a good practice for what she teaches in class. Her grading criteria is slightly above rest of the professors which I think is absolutely fine looking at the work she herself puts in, and expects her students to do the same. Easy to talk to and gives good examples to explain concepts.

Comment:

Very tough grader but this class isnt impossible to do well in like the other reviews say. You need to work for your grade & understand material. BE SURE to go to class and write what she says WORD FOR WORD. She will usually emphasize the important things. Tests are all essay questions and a 94 or above is an A. Just do the work, basically.

Must make a 94 for an A. Does not give usful feedback. Will give homework assignments with little guidance. Youre on in this Class, and the prof isnt concerned with your success.

Comment:

Test are crazy hard! Beware, if you don't write what she says and how she says it in class you will fail her tests. very tough grader! I answered all of the question on test #2 how she said things and I still got a 62. If you skip a class you will fail. However, if you go to her during office hours to ask her for help she is very helpful.

Comment:

Learned lots! Interesting lectures but they do drag on occasionally. Beware, only 10 hws & 3 exams so if youre lazy (like me), it's easy for your grade to plummet. Exams are fair & thorough - taking notes & filling study guide helps. If you arent a business-related major it may seem overwhelming at first. She is VERY strict about HW due dates!

Expects you to answer her tests the way she says in her lectures. book definitions don't get you full credit. She never uses Power point or slides. and only writes a few words on the board with no description.

Comment:

This professor gives great lectures, but she is the TOUGHEST grader on tests. She basically wants you to write exactly what she states in class, if not, you lose points easily on her exams. Our class average was a 60 on our first exam.... I DON'T recommend her unless you're extremely confident in this course

When it comes to tests they were hard if you didn't study. If you studied what was on the review sheet you ill be fine. She doesn't add anything to the test that is not on the review sheet. Pay attention and take notes and you will be fine! Her lectures are easy to pay attention too.

I loved Prof. Lindemann. She was so kind and genuine to all of her students. She is always available-just send her an email! She explains her material incredibly well, although her exams are difficult you will definitely walk away with knowledge of the subject.

she gives 10 homework and 3 test for the whole semester. each homework is worth 10 points and each test is worth 100 each. it doesn't sound that bad till you get your test back and see she took points off for not using the exact definition of things but explained it in your own words. unless you can memorize a bunch of vocab i wouldn't take her.

Comment:

Terrible professor. horrible at explaining the information within the class. Very hard grader. Graded on few things in the class(3 exams basically your fate in the class). She expects for the student to use the specific jargon of the class in the explanations even though what you write is correct and will take off points for it.

Comment:

Lectures well, clear with her message. Only downside is when it comes time for grading she wants to see exactly what she wants to see for credit, and that goes for tests and homework.
