Amanda has good intentions I think and seems to try very hard, but she would be a better fit in the English department or teaching a smaller non-required class. She tends to be very unhelpful and unkind when you meet with her 1 on 1 to solve a problem.",

Gen Bus 360 is easily the School of Business's worst class, and Amanda being uncaring for her students makes it much worse.",
