Pringle is an awesome person and a great teacher! She's tough and expects a lot from her students, but you'll learn a whole lot. You have to work hard to earn your grade.

FANTASTIC TEACHER! The subject itself is not easy but she was always able to explain it in a way everyone could understand and she always offered to help students outside of class time. She's very patient but you have to do the homework and attend class and you'll be fine! Great teaching methods.

Comment:

Plays favorites, her grammar is terrible on the case studies we have to do, but she is a grammar nazi. She is very nit-picky with the case studies on the test. She was in a meeting everyday I went to see her during her office hours, which was so frustrating

Professor Pringle was not bad at all! You just need to make sure you study the study guide and also take the pretest and her tests will be simple. I also really enjoyed her class

Whoever says Pringle "is not that bad," obviously was a complete suck-up, b/c the only way to get an above average grade in her class is brown nose. She's absolutely the worst, unorganized, and useless teacher I've ever had. Way to much work for a semi-introductory busn course, I might add! Choose someone else if possible.

She's really passionate about her class. Stay on top of the business plan. Tests are not terrible but you have to study pretty hard. Learned a lot but put the most effort I've ever put into a college class before.

Comment:

She is kind of scattered it seems at times. She has slides that she uses in class as well as skeleton notes that you are supposed to fill out before class. She gets angry if no one knows the answer to a '?'. She tells us we were supposed to have read the chapter before class (and thats true). Business plan IS a beast. Make sure you get a good team!

Comment:

This teacher was horrible. The material was not that hard to understand but the way she teached and the tests were hard. Make sure to cite your work bc she definately checks and will fail you. You spend most your time working on the business plan so make sure you pick a good group! Take this class with Cave or someone else.

Ok... so I must stand up for Prof. Pringle! She is no where near as bad as some people make her out to be, its just a front put on in class. As long as you read and pay attention you will be fine! As for the business plan... as long as you try, youll do great! I was completely stressed with it but we walked out with a 97!!!!

The material in the class isn't difficult at all as long as you pay moderate attention in class and fill out the outlines provided. Tests are challenging, but not impossible. Tests do what test should do -- have you apply concepts. Business plan project is a beast and very stressful but not impossible.

I love Pringle!! She was amazing! The class is hard and the business plan is huge but if you do your work and go to class you'll be fine. Pringle is a kind, caring professor. I would take her again if given the opportunity.

Comment:

Pringle is not a good professor. She doesn't have a very good handle on the material - I noticed many factual inaccuracies during lectures - and she makes up for it with difficult tests. She claims to test students on applying the material but that's crap. It’s all memorization. She also curves low grades but not high ones.

Comment:

Huge project TEAM UP WITH PEOPLE YOU KNOW WILL WORK HARD. I definitely suggest taking this class with people you know. Tests are hard so you really have to study for them. She is nice and very approachable, you just have to be willing to help yourself. DO NOT SLACK and go to class b/c she does provide useful info that goes with the text.

Comment:

Unreasonably hard/illogical grader... doesn't give 100's but plays favorites so gives better grades to students she likes. Talks forever, often goes longer than class time... tests are OK, but several questions are usually unclear, but she won't ever admit it. Class just combines everything you learn in other business classes.

Comment:

This class isn't bad. The tests are okay if you try to study the chapter handouts in advance and ask her questions, and in my experience she's pretty approachable. The binder checks are easy, the only real killer is the business plan project but if you come up with a good timeline for each section and stick to it, it's not a problem.

Comment:

I did not enjoy this class at all. If there was another teacher teaching 201, i would have been there in a heartbeat. She is not the nicest teacher and the material is pretty boring. The tests are difficult. The worst thing about her is that she makes you learn HER way. You have to keep a binder with notes filled in her way. Not pleasant at all.

Gives fill-in notes for each chapter. Read text & use notes, take online interactive quizzes (to help study- not for grade) & put forth effort to complete project (its a big project - don't hook up w/ any slackers!!!). Tests are straight from notes. Mostly MC, few essay type questions. Got A w/out tremendous effort. She is helpful if you ask.
