Quizzes are tough, final project is tough, you will end up with an A but don't take if you're looking for an easy elective

You don’t have to read in this class but some sections you have to pay attention to more than others. The big project at the end does take time and work to make an A but if you start thinking about it early you will be fine.

Covers a lot of core business concepts in an engaging way. Weekly quizzes can be a bit tough and the final presentation takes time, but helpful resources.

MGT200A is definitely an easy A but I don't really think I learned anything. There is really no homework and you don't need to pay attention in class. I guess you will take out of this class what ever you put into it but you can definitely put in little effort and get an A.

Genuinely one of the kindest, most compassionate professors I've had here. Was told to take the class with her by a friend and it was the best decision I ever made! She seems to actually care about fostering good relationships with students and her class was a breath of fresh air. Love her!!

Dr. K is a fantastic lecturer! One of the most organized and engaging professors I have had at WashU. She uses a lot of real-world examples which makes her lectures feel more applicable and she encourages people to participate despite it being a somewhat large class. Attendance is a must and prepare for a lot of quizzes, but overall great class.
