Comment:

This class was the biggest waste of time. The content is very fluffy and common sense. I've never felt so cheated out of tuition money. You have to attend class and suffer through the hippie dippy lectures Jude puts together. She talks about powerpoint rules but its dumb bc literally no professor follows them except her...

Comment:

Class is unimportant. Professor only talks about herself. Makes the biggest deal over the littlest things. Treats college kids like 5 year olds. Requires notes to be turned in and then will fail you based off your own notes because theyre not good enough?!?! If that makes any sense.

Comment:

If you don't attend class, you're participation will be awful and you'll take some massive hits. Pointless class that doesn't matter towards any degree but still mandatory. Extremely picky when it comes to notes and file names. Overall wish class would be removed as it's pointless but easy B/A.

Comment:

The EASIEST online class you can ever take. Lots of busywork. Professor Jude also is extremely picky and wants to title every assignment in a particular way. 2.5 easy projects. 1 group project. She offers lots of extra credit; turn in your assignments early. Do your work, and get an easy A.

Comment:

I took the online version so I would never have to go to one of her Lectures. Easy class, Ive just never had to do so much work that is so meaningless. Her pickiness is ridiculous. This class is so unimportant. Makes you do a group project in an online class? I didnt learn anything in this class. It was boring and uninspired. Forced to take.

Comment:

You are required to take notes each week on a chapter of the book. Honestly, super easy. She has fairly interesting lectures and very little work outside of the class is required. I would definitely consider this an easy A class as long as you do your work with a "good faith effort" as she likes to say. Very inclusive!

Comment:

Took the scholars version of this class. Grade is based on 4 projects, one of which is a group project, mandatory attendance, and weekly notes (busy work. She doesn't read). No exams besides final, which is only worth 10%. Unless you are a psychology major lost in the business school, you won't enjoy this class, but it is required and super easy.

Comment:

I took her online in the summer for BUS 330 ONLINE. It was an easy class, the group project is little annoying but its just busy work. Easy class to get an A in if you do everything on time. Literally, take this class online you will not regret it im telling you!

Comment:

This class would have been fine if she actually had an organized syllabus/ due dates. I literally have no idea when there are random things due because her syllabus is so messy. It will say one thing on the calendar but then it won't mention little things your supposed to do to get full credit in the class. Very Very messy teacher.

Comment:

Jude was the worst professor of my college career. She gives the term "Busy Work' a WHOLE new meaning. She will make you submit notes every week as if your in high school. She provides overly detailed guidelines for everything, then will take points off based on her opinions rather than requirements. DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO AVOID TAKING HER!

Comment:

Instructor Rathburn's class has weekly discussion post due every Wednesday and then responses to peers are due Saturday. These are mandatory. Also notes on the textbook are due every Saturday as well. There are 4 projects due during the semester. The last project is a team project. There is a midterm exam and a final exam. She responds to emails.

Comment:

This professor was the worst I've had at UWM. It's like she knows the class is mandatory so she makes it hard on purpose. Had to purchase 2 books. Had to write notes on every single chapter in each book. Also, daily activities in class for participation grades. Also, she almost hit me with her car once when I was crossing a cross walk. Good luck!

Comment:

One of the easiest classes you can take. Yes, lectures can get boring, but just show up and do a short worksheet for easy points. Projects 1-3 are simple. Just cover the criteria listed in the project description and get full credit. The last project can get to be quite a handful. if you aren't lazy this class is an easy A for you.

You get participation points each lecture, Your grade will hurt if you don't get those easy points. She gives a TON of extra credit throughout the semester. pay attention to those opportunities. get the textbook! you'll need it every week of the semester. only 1 exam all semester (The final) and it's a take home exam. follow the rubric on projects!

Easy class but so boring &the material is useless. The group project in the end is very annoying. She also takes points off for the littlest things I submitted my project at 11:59 but the time it uploaded was 12:00 so I emailed her right away to let her know what happened &she still count it as late. Extra points provided throughout the semester.

Comment:

There's a lot of projects and you have to have everything the exact way she wants. Which is hypocritical since she talks about being creative and using your ideas, yet you have to follow a very strict guideline. Make sure your script matches word for word, otherwise she'll take points off, even if it's some small words that don't add any meaning.

Comment:

Jude takes this pointless class very seriously. Expect a lot of tedious projects that she will grade extremely harsh on (25% points off if you don't title your paper right!), vague instructions, and very boring material that is all common sense. Easy class, but a lot of work. It sucks that its required because it's a wast of money.
