Comment:

Most boring class of my entire life. Took psychology of work with her last term and regretted it so incredibly much. She just rambled throughout the entire boring 2 hours of class. I fell asleep every class and unfortuantely she would point out to everyone that you were sleeping. She was soo mean and thought the she was a gift to the world!

Definitely the best option for SS requirement at WPI. As it's discussion based, much more interesting (less notes+terms) then Economics. Grade is based on small group project, class participation, midterm, and 3 page final paper. Highly Recommend :)

Funny teacher. Enjoyed the class for the most part; it was very easy. Mostly discussion-based. I would have liked the class more had we followed the syllabus at all.
