Reviews of professor Triparna De Vreede

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
If I had read the syllabus more clearly I would have dropped the class when I could have. I pushed through it, but it was not a good time. I was actually interested in the subject until I took this class. You don't have time to soak in the actual concepts, just try and get by with the bare minimum because there's so much work to do.

Hybrid class, 4 days in class, the rest online. A nice person, good lectures and I learned a lot but she gives waaaaaay too much busy work and then complains about grading it! Stay away if you can. I wish I would have been warned. She also seems totally overworked and stressed. Expect to have 7 to 10 things to do (30+ hours) each week. Good luck!!

No clear grading criteria, quizzes are easy but tricky, you have to notice the wording of the question which has nothing to show the understanding of the lecture. Triprana responds late to emails with short answers with no greeting or decent communication. I think she is overrated as a professor for this course. She destroyed my "A" GPA

Expect lots of work and teamwork which might mean you end up doing more than 40 assignments in 13 weeks, including a THESIS paper

Good material but way too much work, I will encourage people who are truly absolutely passionate about people analytics or HR to take the class, but if not, stay away if you can, or be ready to spend like 10 hrs per week reading and writing TONS of things... it was way too time consuming for me.

Totally lopsided class. You will read 3-4 articles a week and write on them spending 10+ hours a week for 5% of the total grade. Be prepared to read lots and write lots. Way too much busy work and a book report and group projects. You must spend 20+ hours a week outside of class to get an A. Take the class by itself with no others.

This was the first time USF attempted to offer People Analytics in its current format. Being the guinea pig class was interesting because we modified the grading criteria as we went. The test banks were written by students-I can't imagine she'll do that again. Definitely the most caring professor I had in the college of business.

YOU WON'T LEARN ANYTHING I WILL ASSURE YOU THAT. ALL THE MATERIALS ARE OPY PASTED FROM OTHER SOURCES AS WELL AS THE QUIZ. SHE PUTS THE QUESTION ON PARAPHRASE AND DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE WHEN YOU SEE IT. HER COURSES ARE ALL MANDATORY SO GOOD LUCK TO ANY FUTURE STUDENTS WHO HAS TO DEAL WITH THIS JOKE. SHE ALSO CANT SPEAK ENGLISH

Easy class if you put in the 'work'. Shocked at how many lazy people complaining about the weekly readings/discussion posts for a GRADUATE course. On average you have about 3 short case studies to read per week. I always skimmed and wrote my discussion posts and never received under a 95%. Quizzes are open notes and easy if you watch the lecture.
