Fall 2017 - Professor Berges was a great teacher in terms of how informative she is and how much information she has to give you during office hours. She brought in some great guest speakers and really took the time each time I met with her to go over the practicality of the class and applying it to my business. There were some things on tests that seemed like they could have been afforded a bit of leeway (i.e. exact wording for fill in the blank answers) but overall, it was a good course and I enjoyed it!

Fall 2022 - Prof Borman was super engaging and it was clear that he was very passionate about teaching his students the content so that it was truly understood rather than memorized. The only annoying thing about his class was that he calls on people in alphabetical order for participation questions and if you get the question wrong he assumes you were not paying attention when often times it might just be something you do not understand or you get nervous and say the wrong thing. I do, however, think this participation method is a sure fire way to get a solid participation grade so overall this class is super worth it.

Spring 2020 - Professor Kumar had a lot going on this quarter including quarantine and family issues which caused her to miss 5-6 lectures. The lectures which she was on Zoom for required participation which was 30% of the grade (Case study 10%, MT 25% Final 35%). Whats worse is that she grades participation so arbitrarily because other students I know and myself received a 90 for participation even after we completed all required activities and spoke in class. The midterm and final were take-home and she gave us permission to use the online textbook. It blows my mind how not everyone gets an 100 on these tests but the averages were like 88 for the mt and 91 for the final. Back to Kumar, her lectures are very engaging and she is always happy to be teaching but shes a little disorganized. She doesn't always post slides on time or can't figure out zoom etc. The good news was this class is an easy A but the bad news is I didn't learn much.
