Reviews of professor Rachel Balven

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
She did a professional development process in class and helped me a lot with my resume and getting ready for interviews. It was nice that it helped me in class to interview. But I happened to have real job interviews coming up and she helped me so much to prepare. She cares lots about students and will quickly get back to you if you message her.

This professor was very unfriendly to international students and the exam was very difficult 65 questions only 75 minutes to complete. And she is famous for failing students.

Fun class for me, but I love working in a team setting, so it might not fit everyone. Was harder than I expected because Balven is a tough grader on team assignments, which is a big chunk of your grade, but she is very clear with expectations and is incredibly responsive to students. I got more written feedback from her than any other prof at ASU.

prof Balven is one of those who is smart but will also say when she doesnt know the answer to something. but she will look it up for you and tell you the answer next class. its a super interesting class to take. like a lot is psychology stuff. and we did lots of activities that took up class time. sometimes it was awkward sometimes it was fun

Very good at conveying teamwork research; Many things are wrong on the internet but she can cut through the BS with research as proof. We learned useful concepts like management of competition within team coordination, hierarchy studies, shared leadership, role assignments affecting outcomes, central vs decentralized organizational power. Visionary

Not a good class if you don not want to attend class, but Balven makes it interesting and has a great energy. Projects were hard so look at the rubric. Once you get your team on the same page and work together, read instructions, then the class feels easier. But it was more work than I expected. With effort, and attendance then you can get a A.
