STS 2500

If you want to be an entrepreneur for some reason then maybe take this class cuz there might be some useful stuff. If you don't want to be an entrepreneur then also consider taking this class cuz it is really easy and almost no work. Lots of take home tests, the professor is really cool and easy going and chill and doesn't really care. The guest speaker are interesting sometimes. The only downside is that this class is extremely long and boring. You have to read the textbook and pay attention a little and you'll get an A.

The class is all memorization of the textbook and Professor Milton is pretty chill. Make sure to write down more than just the bolded words, but don't spend too long on the readings or else it will take forever. After every lecture is a 10-question take-home quiz, so just review right before taking it and you should be good. The tests are take-home too and you don't have to show up to lecture that day. There's a heavier workload in terms of readings in the first few weeks, but they get a little shorter after. It's a lot of effort to get even an A-, so make sure you're ready for that.

Professor Whitfield is a cool guy, and I was initially intrigued at the thought of a leadership class - now that I have taken it, I do not recommend. The entire class is taken straight out of a textbook called Leadership - Enhancing the Lessons of Experience. Save yourself the time and just read this textbook instead if you want to learn more about leadership because that's all this class is. Even the quizzes and exams, which I were hoping to be more open ended questions that we could write about, were instead just true/false or multiple choice questions straight from the textbook, oftentimes a super random snippet from a seemingly unimportant passage. Professor is cool, class is incredibly easy, but it is mind numbingly boring and not the learning experience I had hoped for. Probably would be more difficult in person as well since it was taught online this year.

I have to agree with the other reviews for S22. It is entirely the textbook. The class is aimed at remembering innocuous details from the book. Quizzes were way too time-restricted only being open from 6 - 10 pm. Not to mention his exams were utterly unfair, we had 2.5 hours to answer over a hundred MC questions and then about 30 SA questions. From what I understood, most of the class did not even finish the exam. I will put this here not to bash Professor Whitfield but for the class structure. Whitfield was a sweet man, don't get me wrong, but if a majority of the class comes forward to using materials on the exam, I think you need to start seeing some fault with how assessments were given. Overall, get the textbook and save yourself that 3-hour slot in your schedule.
