Spring 2022 - This is without a doubt one of the stupidest classes I have ever taken at this school. Professor Gayle is very smart and knowledgable and one of the nicest professors on campus. She is also successful and ran her own consulting firm so she is actually very interesting! Our TA Melissa was a royal pain with her arbitrary grading. We had weekly reflections and by the name of it you would think that it is easy but no, they want you to summarize EVERY single one of the 50+ page readings in the 2 page span and if you go over you would loose points. Melissa would never give a 10/10 and would always give stupid 8.5s and 9s with no feedback. The readings that were assigned were beyond idiotic as is all the readings in the Entrepreneurship minor. Everything you learn in this class and in this minor is common sense. For instance, we were assigned a 60 page plus called on “Tackling Heropreneurship” by Daniela Papi-Thornton. I am sure if you are able to read this review, you can put two and two together and understand that Heropreneurship literally means being an entrepreneur who's work creates good in the world. But noooo, lets assign a 60 page redundant reading and waste all of the students time. There is absolutely NO REASON for professor to assign a 60 page reading on something that can be explained in a SENTENCE. Go look up the reading yourself if you do not believe me. All of the readings and material that were assigned are COMMON SENSE, you have to be an absolute idiot to think that any of these readings, which are made by unsuccessful loser entrepreneurs, have any value whatsoever. All of the readings just take common sense as well as common business practices and slap some sort of convoluted-buzz-word label on them. Don't even get me started on the gorup projects, every entrepreneurship class has them and its a complete crapshoot. You get paired up with complete airheads and have to carry the project all by yourself. Anyone who believes in communism has clearly never been in a group project. Overall I must say, this is not bad for a Entrepreneurship minor class and is one of the better ones. If I could go back I would drop this pointless minor and spend my time pursuing entrepreneurship instead of wasting my time learning about common sense. Even tho prof gayle was a successful entrepreneur, you can bet that the rest of the people who teach the MGMT classes are washed up teachers who are bitter that the market chewed them up and now they resort to teaching crap since they were never successful actually being an entrepreneur.
