Shana Webster-Trotman ENCE424 Expecting an A- Anonymous 05/18/2025	I actually disagree with the majority of the comments here. I am a senior, taking this class for my project management minor, and have had 3 years of internship experience with a general contracting company. I honestly think that this class was one of the most helpful classes for a career in project management. I've learned in my internship that communication is by far one of the best skills to have. This class will make you anxious if you do not like speaking in front of people, BUT if you have to in your career line, then it's best to just learn now while everyone is struggling. This class also teaches you the kind of psychology behind talking effectively to people at work, and it is very useful to know. This class is only useful if you are willing to sit through the 2-hour lectures (once a week) and listen. Otherwise, you will find it a waste of time. The negatives of this class are that all of the major assignments are graded until the very end, right before you take the final. Also, reading quizzes are hard for no reason, and her way of keeping attendance for your 11 points is very unorganized. I do ultimately promote this class if you want to go into project management and excel in the rankings within your company.

Not intresing subject assignment and waste of time She should left teaching as soon as possible are my final word as it was that wrost course I have taken so far.

Despite our best efforts to read all 4 of her required textbooks and attend class, our class preformed poorly on the final because half of the test was unrelated to what she had taught us. The content of the class itself is self explanatory, however Trotman's assignments and quizzes are oddly specific. Attendance is mandatory and graded off of whether you speak in front of the class that day or not.

Think Comm-107 taught over 2 and a half hour where you are penalized for getting there late or leaving early. It’s a super easy class to BS but the quizzes, final and writing assignments are way to specific and not worth your time to study/ learn.
Shana Webster-Trotman ENCE424 Expecting an A Anonymous 11/10/2021	Professor Trotman believes her class is significantly more important than it is and assigns assignments that are entirely busy work that have no actual meaning or sense from an educational aspect. Think sociology but as a required class for a minor. Way too similar to COMM107 and she reaches way too hard into the material she presents. This is all common sense and it infuriates you that you are required to take this class for the Project Management minor when you have actual real classes to take at the same time.
Shana Webster-Trotman ENCE424 Expecting a B+ Anonymous 12/18/2018	this class is not an easy A. You have to participate in class and submit a ~ 3 page essay every week about what you learned. There are weekly quizzes. The essay and the quiz focus on what you learned from the weekly assigned books.(There is 5 of them). You will learn a lot inn her class and I recommend taking her class. The one shitty thing she did is have us do a speech video worth 100 point, a 10 page essay due in 48 hours from the assigned time worth 100 points and an eportfolio worth 150 points all due during finals week ON TOP of the online final. she might not remember that we actually had other finals during finals week , but she is dedicated to teaching.
