GB 300 is a horrible class, but Laurel made it bearable. She was positive and offered valuable feedback on all my assigned work. She was always available for out of class help. She was a fair grader and I would definitely take another class with her.Rate My Professors ↗
I had Laurel for GB300 which is why I chose to take INTLBUS320 with her. I got A's in both. In this class, there is a good amount of busy work but it is all very easy (weekly 4 point quizzes and reflections). You have to do a solo presentation, group presentation, and a short final report. No exams. Class time is all group discussion; no lectures.Rate My Professors ↗
First of all, this is the most useless course I've ever taken. Those reading need to take this online. Laurel is incredibly annoying and gives the most unclear instructions it's almost unbelievable. Also your typical social justice warrior type and talks down to you like a child.Rate My Professors ↗
Class has long reading every other day, usually quizzed on or need to write a reflection. Group discussions during class. The class drags on forever and she treats you like kindergarteners. More work than expected but grades fairly easy.Rate My Professors ↗
Laurel is a great professor and does her best to ensure that students know her clear expectations and how grading will work. This class demands many outside hours of work, but she prepares you the best for your final investigative report.Rate My Professors ↗
I thought this course was very easy. Laurel makes it really easy to do well on the assignments. You work in groups every class/she barely lectures. You have multiple small busy work assignments due each week, but very doable. I thought Laurel was very nice and really cared about her students.Rate My Professors ↗
