Reviews of professor Kathryn Whitener

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She has much experience in business management. She loves entrepreneurship. Her lectures are her real experience on those topics.

I don't know why people are complaining about this class. The structure is a little strange and can be difficult to get used to, but once you do, it's a super easy & chill class. Dr. Whitener is super sweet and her lectures are actually interesting. She's definitely the best option for 478, so I highly recommend taking it w/ her vs all other profs

This class is focused on the student doing most of the work on their own. The syllabus can be a little confusing at first but once you understand the layout it is not that hard to follow. Just do the work at the beginning and you can be finished halfway through the semester.

This is the oddest class and professer ever. She is too chill and gives no, real, constructive feedback regarding work, due dates, or expectations. There are no due dates, but she will complain if you turn stuff in "late." The class is easy, there are no tests or difficult assignments, but it is a lot of boring and unnecessary busy work.

Unresponsive to e-mails, extremely slow grader, takes her months to grade minor assignments. This is an easy class with minimal work, and students make the final exam. She does not teach the material. The entire course is student presentations. I felt like the students taught the class and she was just there to supervise. Unorganized

Strangest class organization ever. You collect points with assignments and set your own due dates. She taught material twice all year. The rest of the class is student presentations on the Office. The final was the first test of knowledge all semester. She expects you to have incredible insights from average material. Not my style, but easy A.

The most confusing class ever. Nothing is direct and there are basically no due dates. The material is easy but graded hard.

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Easy class if you are organized and you take incentive. Participation is graded by a points system, once you reach the points, you don't need to go to class or read the textbook anymore. 1 group project that if not done well, she will critique harshly. Projects and assignments have unclear guidelines. If you are independent, you will do well.

pros: easy to get all the work done without ever going to class (you have to go about 5 times for the semester

cons: she wrote the textbook and gets paid when we buy it... "It's not required" but counts as half your participation grade
she basically picks your grade at the end of the semester.

Overall, she's a bit weird, but it was pretty easy
