I like her TA better than her, very unorganzied and pointless assignments. She is little disrespectful too.

Seriously one of the hardest classes I've ever taken, things are not explain clearly. She goes through instructions for assignments very broadly, so prepare to learn everything on your own!!! Would never take again but she's the only teacher that teaches this course at school.

Comment:

Grades consist of two internship journals, a recommendation report, resume, 10 measurable goals, powerpoint presentation. Journals are incredibly long, so start on them RIGHT AWAY. The resume and 10 measurable goals are the easiest assignments. Tough grading on journals, recommendation report and powerpoint presentation. ALL I'M SAYING IS GOOD LUCK

Comment:

This class was one of the most stressful classes that I have ever taken. It was full of busy work that I felt were irrelevant; words can't describe how ridiculous all the assignments were. I just still cannot fathom how this class consisted of a 20+ hr/week internship and expect them to complete 5 long and difficult projects.

Comment:

Dr. Ezell is a tough professor. 3 projects. 150 question internship questionaire where you pick apart the company you intern for, the reading of 4 books that are NO LESS than 1200 pages combined and a research paper about how the internship company you work for can improve something. She grades REALLY HARD, but HUGE CURVE at the end. Good luck.

Comment:

I took her internship class. She is a great teacher with very good intentions. The textbooks are used for the two major projects. The class was extremely time consuming and stressful. The class involved a journal (70 pages), read 5 book 1500 pages, write recommendaton report.

Comment:

Class can seem pretty overwhelming. 2 tests that are 9 chapters a piece. final exam grade is just a project. tests are difficult. flies through stuff fast and lots of math formulas. always available and happy to help. final exam/project is a 5 page paper over a case study that you write over a retailer

Comment:

She expects you to catch on quick..ex: I had to study the syllibus to really get whats going on. But, she is very good & helpful one on one. She gives extra credit opp on tests and during semester. Make pwrpnt presentations exciting. Must focus on Math/calculations in the chapters...lots of test questions on these. She really knows her stuff.

Comment:

Two major presentations and the test were fairly difficult. Memorize the terms but study and practice the math. She focuses a lot on the formulas. More than you would think. The power point were timed so focus your attn on the paper and keep the pp brief and interesting. I wasn't sure about her in the beginning but she ended up being a good prof.

4393 (internship class)- discussions, assignments, journal, 1 exam, and a final project (presentation). As long as you do all the work you will do good. I got an A for not putting my full effort in the work since I had work full time also..

Comment:

she's very unorganized and had her TA teaching on the days she didnt show up. her exams are kinda hard, but if you study the powerpoints you should do good. she gives extra credit which really helps on the final grade. you're better off teaching the material yourself, save yourself the drive.
