Review: MADM 715-Labor & Employment Law with Amy Wren

Where to begin with this one? Well, I passed with a B so there's that.

Hear me when I say this...Avoid her if possible.

Low Points:
Excessive reading of cases and various chapter reading that are haphazardly thrown together with grammatical errors galore. Tests are on the most minute details so as long as you can read the excessive material and retain all of the information, then you should be good. There is a research project due that is worth 400 of the 1100 points so if you opt out of that, you will leave with a C. Pet peeve of mine: During the entire course she stated that the project grades would be posted on May 4th - that didn't happen and they didn't post until very late the following day. She tries to hold Zoom sessions each week, but there is usual an issue for about half of these, such as a technical glitch, she has another meeting, she just didn't get to it, etc.

High Points:
Will answer your emails in a timely manner; certain items will start to stand out in the reading that you should pay attention to once you understand her method of testing; She does look at the test and if the threshold of 40% or less of the class gets the answer correct on a test, she will review the question and make the necessary adjustments for the points.

Overall, I did walk away learning quite a bit about the subject matter and that is the point, right? But, it could have been much more enjoyable if she just tweeked a few things.

@Menance1069 I agreed with all of comments about MADM 715 with Amy Wren. I had a high B going into the final exam. The final project bumped my grade up to an A. Those exams had very detailed trivial information on them. I am not convinced that the course reading aligned with the exams especially after the open book exam for week 5. There was a lot of information about suing companies and making a case which was not relevant to me. I am not lawyer and I don’t plan on seeing the inside of a courtroom. There was not enough information about how to comply with the law from a management or hr perspective in my opinion. Those readings should have been edited. Adding comments to a published article does not make her a co-author. I thought the final project was a waste of time because I would never have to do that for a job. As far answering emails, I saw that she sent a lot of emails to the class telling people not email her and she complained about her workload too much. Unfortunately the other professor, could teach the course days before it started so I ended up in Wren’s class.
