Comment:

I loved taking her class. Apart from the regular group assignments, there was an individual assignment as the final submission. That definitely helps if your group is not doing as well as you expected. Clear instructions are provided regarding what is expected of the assignments. Put in a little hard work and you are good. Interactive class.

Comment:

easy assignments but I HATED the way she graded them. We had the instructions on what to do for each one and even if you got it all right you would only receive a C. She always says that you have to do much more than just the assignment to get an A on it, but doesn't say what we need to do. this was so stupid to me and it made the work much longer

Comment:

Took this class because I already had a full load of courses and this one was online. Needed an easy elective, BAD IDEA. Most confusing course I've ever taken. Group project is ridiculously time consuming and detailed. Spent more time on this class than the rest of my 5 classes COMBINED. Take ENTR at Bauer instead. Much better college anyway...

Comment:

Wonderful professor! Coursework is highly based on the textbook and there is a lot of reading. However if you keep up with the assignments and the due dates given this is an easy class. Professor is very polite and very professional when grading. Read the professors feedback on assignments and improve on them.

This class was very helpful! the teacher is very helpful she responds quickly. she does grade hard but as long as you put in the work and effort into your assignments it's not that bad. You will have many assignments that take maybe 2hrs to complete but it's only about once a week.THIS CLASS REQUIRES ALOT OF READING! Overall I Liked this class

Please do not take ANY class by this professor. I regret choosing my major at U of H because of this prof...yes it's really that bad. Difficult and unreasonable doesn't even begin to describe her assignments and expectations. Have never had such problems with a prof.

Comment:

Her tests are extremely long, daunting, and stressful. Her study guides did not relate to her tests. There was a large amount of reading required. Extra credit was always during the week during the day for hours at a time.

Comment:

Dr. Norwood comes off as one of those introverted professors "her way or the highway". If you were born after 1986, and are reading this review this course is kind of waste of time. Assignments were graded when it was convenient on her terms, and she didn't offer any negotiations when assignments are due.

Professor Norwood is a very nice lady and understands your situations and will work with you. It's just a LOAD of things to do and the test are extremely long I always ran out of time on them.

she was ok, her class was a bit overwhelming with all the reading. she makes you use a lockdown browser for all the test and quizes...which totaly sucks if your internet goes out on you during that time because there is no way to get out of the browser.

The teacher seems nice but her class was a bit unstructured. Her check list got confusing at times and there was way too much reading and not enough time on the test. I've learned nothing from her teaching methods.

Comment:

I took this class in the summer and it was just too many chapters to read in a short amount ot time. And the exam is least than a hour and 30 mins. To get an A you have to put in the effort and do the long study and understand it. She's a good teacher juat alot of work.

This teacher is great! I have had her for 3 semesters now and every time I got an A. Just do your busy work and do the study guides and you'll be fine. Easy A.

Comment:

I suppose because of Ike I can give her some credit, but the class as a whole was horrible. There were way too many useless assignments & the paper was pointless. Tests are too long & have too many chapters to cover for anyone to actually LEARN something. The prof was "out of town" for the majority of the semester and didn't help at all.

Love love love this lady. She is extremely kind, and considerate. She communicates well and responds quickly. She does expect you to know the material, but if she knows you are giving 100%, she will help you any way she can.

3 exams, weekly assignments, and 1 term paper. As long as you put some effort into all these, you will do well. Exams are preeeetty long, 100-120 questions within a 2hour 15min time period.=T
