Reviews of professor Barbara Ariel Blair

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I'd recommend taking ANYONE else for MGT 4900. The "lectures" were recorded interviews of her talking with old friends, and then quizzing you on random snippets from them. We took an assessment and had to do the same vague asst around it, 3 times over the semester - I went to office hrs multiple times and l left more confused than when I came.

The class was pretty easy, but the tests were so difficult and annoying. The questions were random and unexpected. I never knew what to study. I didn't really learn anything coming out of the lectures which was frustrating because it was a 3 hr. class. Dr. Blair didn't answer people's questions well and left me more confused after her responses.

Beware! Professor Blair is not direct in answering questions and gets upset easily. For the group project the directions are vague and hard to understand, when asking for clarification she says its on the assignment page, which doesn't help due to the lack of information available. Missing one class can ruin your grade in the class.

Very bad. If I could use one word to describe the course it would be vague. None of the assignments have clear or direct instructions at all. Not very helpful talking to her either. Seems like she just wants to leave things open to interpretation but the problem is that she doesn't grade that way. Avoid!

Honestly, take anyone else for MGT 4900. It is terrible that this is a mandatory course with one instructor because I don't think that living in different countries accounts for understanding intercultural values or influence. I think she has good intentions but her tests are confusing and SO hard for no reason! Class average was a 62 :(

Was never really clear what we were learning. Very broad and open test questions that could be interpreted many ways. She also changed the way she graded our main assignments 3 weeks before our final and didnt tell us until till way later. Just bad.

Unfortunately, this class was a big waste of time. She doesn't know the material herself and simply pushes her political agenda.

This class was horrible. The professor disables your percentage grade all throughout the semester so your final grade will really come as a surprise. She also doesn't have a breakdown of how much % of your grade quizzes, exams, group project, etc are worth... It would be nice to have this information in the syllabus. Just a very unorganized class.
