Comment:

Professor is non-existent, you are on your own basically the whole course. Opens modules in increments to be due at end of each month. Modules include 4 quizzes & 4 video case studies. Midterm & cumulative final. Material is not difficult but the way questions are worded, is what makes it tricky. Get ready to maneuver course without a teacher.

Comment:

Course work Mindtap Assignments & 2 Exams (Midterm & Final). MT is Easy, however her tests are HARD. No reviews and studying MT Assignments & Chap. vocab DO NOT prepare you for Exams. This should be an easy class but her test make it HARD. I am an A+ student, received my first B in Business Ethics..... Prof does not set students up for success.

No group project, which is a plus. All the assignments were on mindtap. Midterm and a final. Very easy class as long as you read the chapters.

Comment:

Super long periods before homework is due. For example at the end of the month each month its out of schedule with other classes. If youre a procrastinator DO NOT take this class. Lots of textbook reading and way too many quizzes that count for more credit than I think they should. If you like lots of quizzes and textbook reading take this class.

I took Dr. Ashe and she offered the option of participating in Dr. Lawrences I-to-I program in lieu of taking the midterm and final. The program has a project portion that is a lot of work, and you may run into issues of students dropping out. Stay on top of mindtap, email her weekly reflective paragraph, and reflection paper. Do the work. Easy A.

Comment:

Professor Ashe is pretty forward as far as her assignments. She gives you all the material pretty much in power points... for a better understanding of the material it would be suggested to read... But overall this class was fairly easy for a summer class.. Not too many busy assignments which made the class bearable.. Easy A 3 exams 3 ethic games

Comment:

Case studies are provided and students have to come to class with opinions about the cases. Participation is mandatory. 1 midterm and 1 final - practically gives you the answers. 1 group project with pp presentation. Also ethics game online answering hypothetical ethics questions. Overall the class isn't hard for something that tries.

unclear on her instructions, and she will just ramble on and on about nothing. Dont actually learn anything in class, basically just everyone voicing their opinions on the case studies, and you must speak up in class cause its a participation grade. theres a group project which is ridiculous. tests are easy cause she basically gives you the answers

Comment:

The summer mini version of her class was really not as bad as the reviews led me to believe. Two exams (lockdown), multiple writing assignments, and a final. It did not seem like she graded the writing assignments very thoroughly. The ethics game is tedious/ useless and counted for almost as much weight as the exams. I'd take her again!

Comment:

Dr. Ashe is an okay professor. Text and reading is heavily involved in the class. Make sure you are thoroughly knowledgeable about Ethics Principles. Discussion is big for the class, so reading before attending class is crucial. The rest is just the usual reading/project/test and you'll be done.

Comment:

She claims to be a business ethics teacher who doesn't teach a thing. She says your in college open the book and read it. Pretty hypocritical if you ask me she will drain the life out of you during her class with her useless lectures. She is the devil in disguise who always plays the devil's advocate don't take her hopefully she gets fired!

I would take a chance on anyone else. Syllabus is not in clear chronological order. Largest % of grade on group project (need I say more?). If you do not follow instructions precisely, she will deduct points. What could have been a fun, stimulating educational experience simply was not. A single lecture seemed like days.

Comment:

No lectures, very unstructured. I felt like I wasted my time in class, attendance required. We were supposed to read the Ethics handbook and discuss in class. The 'discussion' consisted of students telling not so relevant stories, or Dr. Ashe going off on a 30 min. rant because a question was asked. It is easy A. Hint, google test case names.

Comment:

This teacher is rude to students. She does not give instructions, only tells you to look at the course schedule. She spends most of her time saying the same thing over and over again, none of which will have anything to do with her tests. She requires group work, and will not answer questions about work. If you can take someone else!

Hybrid, Overall class was good but she does do Group projects and group exercises in class. She grades really tough and I think if she gives students an example of how she wants certain things to be done before the assignments are done a better turn out will help. It's a must thatyou participate in class discussions, read the book and short cases.

Comment:

The class is simple enough. But anyone can post a bunch of stuff on a website and call it a class. It is all she does. Post stuff on BB and messages you 3 times a semester for test. The "lectures" are videos made by the publisher. When asked questions she tells you to look at syllabus.

3 Exams (2 and 1 Final that isn't cumulative, 4 chapters each), 50 questions MC, individualteam participation assignments. Only downsides? HARSH grading on group paper and $90 MANDATORY ethics game assignment (easy to do, but really unnecessary; not worth the price). Ridiculously easy class, walking away with A.

Comment:

Makes you buy Ethics game, Very confusing, but I was able to get an A on all of them. All group projects are simple and can be done with little effort, Two exams which were harder than they should be but she does provide a study guide. Study the whole chapters!!!) Taking her final this week but I have an A in the class right now
