Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Professor Ann Terlaak was a phenomenal teacher. She made the class easy to participate in, and she actually cares about her students. One of my favorite classes at UW so far. Be prepared for two group projects that take a lot of time, but it's manageable. No exams and participation really matter!

Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
Ann is one of the most disorganized professors out there. Her lectures consist of her reading straight from detailed slides and just rambling. There are pop quizzes that are very hard and uber specific to the readings that are only worth 5 points. A big part of your grade is doing posts on Peerceptiv and you get punished for giving out good scores.

GEN BUS 250. Ann is very disorganized and reads straight from poorly formatted slides. The pop quizzes are extremely difficult and specific to the readings. A lot of your grade is based off peer reviews and you get punished for giving others high scores. Do not take.

Ann is very passionate about the course material. The atmosphere she sets in her classroom encourages students to participate. She is quirky and engaging. The readings are easy to read and interesting.
