Lauren Rhue BMGT408V Expecting an A- Anonymous 05/21/2024	Kind professor and useful class if you want to learn how to visualize data with tableau and python. She doesn't teach you anything but rather shows you how to do it once. The Tableau project is significantly more difficult in my opinion due to the fact that Tableau was completely new to me and she would sometimes go fast during class when showing us how to create the charts. The only reason I am giving her 3 stars is because she is an extremely bad test writer. Here are some guidelines to writing an exam taken off of CMU's website on the page "Creating Exams": "Write objective test questions so that there is one and only one best answer. Word questions clearly and simply, avoiding double negatives, idiomatic language, and absolutes such as “never” or “always.” Test only a single idea in each item. Make sure wrong answers (distractors) are plausible" Now she would write exam questions that would be "Choose all that apply" and only one would apply or all would apply or in between. Now I would be okay if that was some of her test questions but about 90% of her final exam questions were "Choose all that apply". Now to FURTHER my point, the average on the exam was 167/250. That is a 66%. The highest grade someone got on the exam was a 79%. If the class did so badly on the exam then there is something wrong with how the exam was written. Also, this exam was open-note on a lockdown browser.

She will teach you a lot about data visualization by using python and Tableau. However, the only problem with her course is her grading. She will not publish your overall grade, like how you can see normally in other classes and see where exactly you are in the class. She will let you know your grades for the assignment, but it is hard to see how you are doing exactly, especially if you are on the borderline. Did talk to her in the middle of the semester, but her response was unclear. Even after the final the % is not in canvas, you can only see your grade in Testudo. But overall teaching wise, she is good, but the structure did stressed me out.
Lauren Rhue BMGT408V Anonymous 05/09/2024	Professor Rhue is helpful and knowledgable and her lectures are interesting. She doesn't respond to emails and gives little guidance on the quizzes that are due every two or three weeks. There are two big projects (Python and Tableau) that are not difficult if you attend class or watch the recordings to get the foundational code. But, and this is a very strong but, it was very stressful not knowing my grade during the semester. I can appreciate the thought of not wanting to stress students out, but when the syllabus doesn't align with the ELMS in terms of grading criteria and weights so that we couldn't even calculate our grades ourselves if we wanted to, it had the opposite effect. She said she wasn't concerned about anyone's grade, but that is not up to her to decide.

If you are not familiar with the programs or data visualization in general the concepts are challenging so it does require some practice outside of class. Professor Rhue is very knowledgeable, professional, and eager to help students. Overall I learned a lot in this class but it requires a lot of work (for a business class).
