Do not take this class at all costs. If you have the choice between taking this class to graduate on time or taking a different class and graduating a semester late, graduate late. The pain and suffering this class will cause you is NOT WORTH it. Choose life. Choose Happiness. And choose not to take this class. You will regret every moment of it.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor is a very hard grader. The quizes are unnecessarily hard. The lectures don't help and you are expected to do all readings.Rate My Professors ↗
Pop quizzes are unnecessarily hard, lectures are rushed and not helpful, and student questions are often dismissed instead of answered clearly. The class feels stressful because of the constant cold calling and fast pace. It honestly felt like learning was never the priority in this class overall. Would not recommend at all.Rate My Professors ↗
Assigns an insane amount of work - 19 page articles to be done in 2 days. Lectures don't cover everything on the slides, she doesn't notify us when she updates canvas/assignments, essentially assume you'll spend 4-6 hours outside of class going over lecture slides, readings, and doing assignments and studying. Easily the worst professor I've had.Rate My Professors ↗
Gen Bus 250 with Prof. Kent was one of the most frustrating classes I've taken at UW. The course includes four pop quizzes on readings and podcasts, but the questions are often so specific that completing the material is not enough preparation. The content is overwhelming, and the disorganized slides make studying difficult.Rate My Professors ↗
