Reviews of professor Rachel Balven

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Balven is incredibly smart and gifted in her field. However, this class is harder than you would expect it to be. It's collaborative team skills, so it is incredibly group project-heavy. You probably won't do well on the first team grade, but she drops one so it's fine. GO TO CLASS. You will fail exams if you don't because they're lecture-centric.

I took this class expecting it to be an easy A, but it was actually one of the hardest management classes I have taken. She is a tough grader and does not let anyone get 100%. She has extreme guidelines with no examples. She was respectful, but it was very clear who she liked and didn't. Exams were hard!!

Two exams, ten quizzes, 7 team assignments, a peer evaluation, and a few individual assignments. For team assignments you get the same grade, but if you mooch off your team, they can rate you poorly at the end of the semester. Professor is caring and is excited about her lectures. Sometimes too excited because not every topic is interesting.
