Reviews of professor Nichole Phillips

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
The OB course is interesting in its own right, but, DO NOT take this instructor if you work full time or do anything other than go to school period. Requires weekly research heavy papers, 2 lengthy chapters & supplemental reading per week along with weekly quizzes. Good knowledge, unrealistic workload for students who are working professionals.

She makes you work for your grade, which I'm expecting to make a B. You must put forth a lot of effort and go above and beyond what you are asked to do in order to get a decent grade. The discussions are graded by your peers and your score must be similar to the others who graded the same discussions, which that should not be placed on students.

I've read all of the reviews and generally side with the negative ones. This is the only class in my collegiate career that I've felt obligated to challenge a grade. A paper assignment was graded, and the TA that graded it gave very broad and sometimes completely inaccurate feedback. Specific examples were emailed to the professor with no reply

Worst experience at LSUS. Avoid Phillips at all costs. She is uninvolved and lets TAs do everything. The detailed rubric for your weekly papers is misleading. However many sources (and whatever the minimum word count) it says you should have--double it or see your grade drop. Highly subjective and comports with the worst of academic snobbery. RUN!

Possibly worst professor I have ever had. Do not take this course. She has no idea what she is doing. Student assistants are unavailable, grades not posted in timely manner, short time line to do assignments. Not enjoyable and learned nothing.

Worst professor. Get ready for 20+ hours each week for this class. The reading is at least 60 textbook pages a week. An assignment is due every week which turns out to be a 12 page paper. Turnitin picks up in every quote in the paper and previous students papers, making it near impossible to write a decent paper with support. Dont take this class.

Worst experience at LSUS 1)Inconsistent grader on papers. Reached out for advise a few times and was given matrix info. Zero constructive/specific feedback 2)2 POINTS away from an A. Contacted Prof Philips, she replied "I don't understand". "2 points away, let me earn it" is not a hard concept 3)Doesn't seem to care or like to be contacted

If you enjoy being pushed hard to accomplish more and be challenged, you will love Dr. Phillips. She pushes you to levels of discomfort, reward comes with those extra efforts. If you are looking for an easy A, go elsewhere. Small Business and Family Enterprise has been one of my favorite classes and thoroughly enjoyed Dr. Phillips.
