The project is easy but lots of work and there are 2 readings with 2 assignments every week. Too much work for an intro class",

    "comment": "This class was unnecessarily difficult. The chapters you have to read before class take an average 2 hours, and the lectures are basically the same exact information with video examples that she uses for the exams. The exams seem like they would be easy, but each multiple choice question is worth 4 points, so missing a few tanks your grade. ",

The exams are really difficult and it really isn't her fault. The class is curved to a 3.2 GPA because of the business school. There is a semester long project that isn't too difficult. ",
