Comment:

Professor Dean is a really good one, however her classes can get really boring as she mostly just reads the powerpoints. 5 random EASY group activities worth 50 points and 3 tests worth 100 each. I put minimum effort and missed half the classes and barely passed with C. You will have to memorize every powerpoint if you want an A, or get a C like me

Great professor! Dr. Dean makes class easy. Power points available and all test questions come from her slides. Has unannounced in-class activities throughout semester, so dont skip her lectures. Highly recommend.

ABSOLUTE best professor I have taken here at SDSU. If you want a professor that actually cares about you, take Dr. Dean. Tests aren't too difficult, and she curves. She gives you an outline, so just make a study guide out of that. Listen in class and you will be fine!

PRINT POWERPOINTS. GO TO CLASS. PAY ATTENTION. Loved this class. She made a 7pm interesting. 5 (sometimes random) in-class exercises that are part of the grade. NO HOMEWORK. She provides powerpoints & study guide. Definitely go over both for the exams (MC & short answer). Can seem like a lot of material, but she makes it easy to understand. STUDY!

Comment:

Prof Dean is very knowledgeable in the subject of HR, although lectures can be boring if you pay attention and take notes you don't really need to read the book to get A's on the exams (I only read the book didn't pay attention in class since it gets quite boring, but I got a good grade). Must do some memorization for exam.

She's a very knowledgeable professor in her area of study and very well respected. Very into her SHRM but this isn't a bad thing as plenty of great connections and guest speakers. Only 3 tests and that's including your final (based on lectures¬es from class)! If you attend the class, you'll know what the exam is going to be like!

She goes into detail about everything. It was way too much to learn in one semester. Take another professor. No cheat sheet allowed.

She is a great prof who has a lot of resources for her students. She takes the time to make sure we're aware of events to help us in our future careers. The tests are easy and there is no homework. Her lectures are concise and clear. Can't ask for anything more!

All in all this is a good class. Professor Dean is highly knowledgeable about HR and lectures are fairly interesting. The tests are a mixture of MC and short answer. Study the slides and briefly browse definitions in book and you'll do just fine.

Prof Dean is very helpful and makes her class very enjoyable. She is passionate and very knowledgeable on the subject. Highly recommend her for MGT352 and MGT461. Do not use the book, only study the slides and you'll do great! Every MGT prof should be like her!

Comment:

Pretty easy course. Should be getting an A or A- depending on how I did on the final. She does curve her tests if needed (first exam had a 15 point curve, second had a 2 point curve). Hoping that she curves the final. Do well on the first test and you'll secure a good grade. Two tests, a final, and easy participation points. That's it. Reasonable.

HARD CLASS!!! Two big assignments, one big paper & one paper/computer work. Both with groups. You kinda get to choose your group... Three exams, all three are hard. You dont need the book (thank goodness) just study the slides Good luck.

Prof Dean is great! She is super helpful and manages to make the subject a little interesting. She pretty much teaches from her slides but she throws in a few questions from the text book on the tests. 3 mult choice tests aren't easy but she doesn't assign any homework.

Tests are 75% lecture, 25% book unless said otherwise. 5 activities for attendance/participation(2 are random). Very good at making some of the more boring stuff interesting. Encourages discussion and very knowledgeable with real world examples. I'd recommend her for sure for any HR class.

She is a nice lady, and very clear.. but a little spastic. Sometimes I feel anxiety leaving her class because she stresses me out... but that class isn't bad.. I got an A. Just memorize EVERY slide.. do NOT read the book!

Comment:

Very easy class. All you need to do is study the lecture slides, and make sure to fill in any of the questions (will appear on tests, so you need to go to class). Do not buy the book. I studied for a few hours before the tests and got an A in the class. A few in class activities which are basically free points. Definitely take her if you can.

Comment:

She's super nice. As far as the class goes, I never even opened the notes until 5 hours before each test and still managed a B... that's probably from going to class everyday though. She tests you on everything on the slides, so if you're not good at memorizing details you're in big trouble.
