The majority of the assignments are group work with the exception of the final. Our online final exam was between 5-10 pages single space essay. Her grading criteria was unclear and she often verbally contradicted herself from course materials. She does not read our work herself. It was obvious that all of our writing assignments were graded by AI.

My girlfriend took this course and that it is so redundant that I'm talking about it, don't take her she literally made the whole class do a 5 page essay in a day for their final which she gave them last minute instructions to do, she's very unorganized and also a tough grader

This class made me want to never take another TMP class again. She was just awful. SO unclear about grading policies and participation points. She contradicted herself every day. Super strict attendance policy and cold calling. Has also never actually worked outside academia... so why is she teaching business strategy?

Don't be fooled and think this class will teach you how to use AI to help you grow your business. All you are taught is how companies that develop AI operate (e.g NVIDIA). A project was evaluating lipstick colors with AI. Graded on how much you talk in class. Not willing to take feedback. Class feels like a waste of time. Confusing assignments
