I didn't learn anything from this class to be honest! She is not clear in grading! You don't know your grade till she posted in Canvas! Don't take her!

Professor Ross is a great professor. She grades you based on improvement. She tries to make gateway as painless as possible. She goes straight to the point with no filler. She gives you the case answers, but cares about your analysis and FORMATTING! Also, two words, GROUP WORK! Groups are chosen based on your time availability. Would take again.

Comment:

Tough grader. All the work is done in groups which she picks for you. I do believe that your group decides your grade unless you're willing to do all of the work and you write well to get an A as all (4) of the assignments are 10-page analysis. That said, she always lets the class out early, and I've heard worse stories about other BUS professors.

She is AMAZING. Very clear professor. Do what she says and you'll pass. Dry humor- which I love. Don't ask stupid questions. Take her you won't regret it!!! I wish I could take her again!

Comment:

She is a very tough grader. Even for gateway, most of the classes had below 60% on their group paper. shes a solid and good professor but the grading was just harder than i was expecting. She gives everyone advice that most people don't realize it can help them significantly. PAY ATTENTION IN HER CLASS. It will be worth it.

I wish I have been warned before going into this class because we had no idea what our grade ware until she uploaded it to solar. She's a decent professor, however this class gave me anxiety.

Comment:

She is a good professor. She goes straight to the point so be smart and pay attention because she's not going to deal with irrelevant questions. No need to buy the book everything is online. If both your group and yourself do their parts you are good, but you have to work for it. The class is not that bad but turn in your work on time!

Spring 18. You don't get to choose your group. Submit your papers on time cause SHE WILL NOT TAKE LATE PAPERS by any circumstances (trust me!) FOLLOW her format for every case. 3 cases + 1 group presentation+ an ethics essay. I would definitely take her again. She gives you the answers for each case, so pay attention. She's a lawyer so good luck!

I like her. She tells you what is expected and doesn't put up with ridiculous questions from people who don't pay attention. If you need a ton of hand holding or someone to tell you how wonderful you are, don't take her class. If you like to get straight to the point, she's the one for you.

Comment:

For a BLAW course, there are other professors you may want to look for. She is a nice professor, however she seems to be a tough grader. It's all about precision for her exams, the final is worth 60% cumulative & even after giving us the main topics and knowing everything about them and including everything about the rule I still got a low score

Comment:

Everyone told me that Gateway was going to be very hard, but Professor Ross made it very enjoyable. Just make sure to follow the format cause she care the most about the structure of your case. Listen to the lecture cause she pretty much gives you the answer when she lecture about the case. Not a hard class.

Comment:

Ross does her best to accommodate her students. There is only 1 exam, based on ethics so MEMORIZE! If Ross does not know how to do certain parts of the case econ, stats, or acct all you have to do is ask her who to go to. She really is not that bad of a teacher like people say she is. They just didn't go to office hours or ask for help.

I actually didnt mind this class too much. The grading criteria is very clear and straightforward and i thought she was very nice. The work wasnt even that much since you do every assaignment/presentation in groups.

Comment:

I really enjoyed this class and I liked Ross. Expect after the first month of class to be writing a case study/ analysis every 2 weeks. 2 presentations graded on how you present rather than content. Warning* lots of group work. Only complaint Ross doesnt know stats so at least 1 group member better learn quick. DO NOT BUY 302 MANUAL

Found Professor Ross's class to be challenging but rewarding. Learned much about proper case writing. Important to note that she grades on improvement as well. I.E., just because you got a C on a case, doesn't mean you're destined to get a C in the class.

DO NOT RECOMMEND. Extremely tough grader and asking for help is like pulling teeth. The case reports get confusing but she treated you like if you were dumb if you asked for help. It was mortifying. She was not nice at all. Hardly ever in a good mood. She runs out as soon as class is over. I passed thanks to my group. Get a good group to pass!

Awesome professor! So helpful, straight to the point & tells u exactly how she wants it done. You need the book but the ebook may be better to carry around. Funny and blunt. Easy to relate. Tests are tricky but she helps with the reviews. Don't miss class!! 1 midterm 1 final and do the homework!!! it helps
