Very kind and knowledgeable professor. This is a great class if you're interested in learning more about yourself, workplace behavior, and project management. We meet weekly on Zoom and usually do a simple breakout room activity. Each week, there’s one assignment to complete (either solo or a discussion board), and group discussions are optional depending on how your team decides to conduct their workshops. Every week, one person from your group leads a "workshop" on a workplace skill, and the rest reflect on it in a journal entry. It’s a very easy, informative class. I would highly recommend this professor!

Professor is so nice. Assignments are very minimal and the discussion sessions are flexible for your group. On top of it, lecture is only once a week. There are also no exams. Mainly just discussion boards and the occasional assignment. After the first week, it is really easy to grasp the process of class. Definitely the easiest INST335 section offered.

Extremely easy course and very kind professor! I don’t know what this guy below is talking about but he must have reviewed the wrong professor because this is not at all what my or any other person who gave a reviewed experienced. I can tell you that she is still doing one discussion post a week and is great overall to take!

This class was a big time sink. Just because the class is online doesn't mean the it wasn't time consuming. I am taking the class this semester and I guess a lot of people said the class was too easy and from what I have heard in accordance to the semester before, it went from one discussion post a week and this semester there were 3 a week and regular assignments on top of that. The content itself was not hard but if you want another easy class, just take ENES140 or ENES210, which took way less work.

Not much to say other than easy A and very kind professor. Took the zoom version of this class but it ended up being completely async. Course was interesting if you wanted to interact with the material, but you could get away without reading or watching a single thing. The work was easier than middle school content, no more than a simple discussion post a week. Probably the best gen ed class out there.

Class is asynchronous after the first meeting. Super easy class. Some weeks, she is very understanding of our workloads and doesn't give us an assignment. I'd say this is easier than ENES140/210 if you take this with Francesca or Katie Shilton.

Kind, very reasonable & lenient, so understanding. I’d highly recommend taking this course! The professor is incredibly helpful & doesn’t count attendance as a grade. Most grades come from discussion responses. I loved this course (for context, I took it online. Not sure what it’s like in person).
