She is a very good professor. She tries to help every student and she ensures that everyone has understood the material. Personally, because I am good in Mathematics (received 6/7 in Mathematics Higher Level in my IB) I really think that the material was easy. Objectively, I can say that it was explained to everyone in the right pace and way.MGSC2301 2016-01-19 18:24:54 +0000 UTC
Willing to go through your exam with you in her office but won't give them back to you. It is a little bit hard to study for final without the former exam papers. Homework assignments are from the textbook, group project is done thousands times by former students, which doesn't really helpful to understand the material.3 midterms, 6 hks, 1 finalMGSC2301 2015-12-16 03:05:58 +0000 UTC
Too much to take in as a intro-level business core class. She treated the course seriously with endless concepts. Homework are from the textbook, which she never used and is unnecessary to have. Midterms are tough, you need to know everything throughly to just pass. Avoid her as you can, believe me, unless you are looking for major in Statistics...MGSC2301 2015-12-09 03:42:39 +0000 UTC
Nice person, always willing to help, but her class is not easy. To do well, you need to be mindful of every class, homework and go to office hour as needed. Never left a unsolved problem, otherwise you might screw yourself in the exams. The workload is massive. I don't recommend her if you have other classes that need to put a lot of time & effort.MGSC2301 2015-12-08 09:54:39 +0000 UTC
Prepare to teach yourself by reading through all of her lecture notes and chapter slides. To do well, you need to learn the concepts and understand the sample problems. The tests is way harder than homework, review guide and problems set we practiced in class. HARDEST class ever!! Harder than my intermediate accounting course. DON'T TAKE HER :(MGSC2301 2015-12-08 09:38:05 +0000 UTC
The most chapters are taught among other professors. She rushed through slides, expected us to do well on 3 mid-terms without any review guide until the last exam. Acclaimed to "think about "drop our lowest midterm, hasn't clarified that before our last class. Don't take her (to ruin your life and GPA),unless you'll pursue grad degree in StatisticsMGSC2301 2015-12-08 09:32:16 +0000 UTC
