Comments:3305 - I think people are so harsh to Professor Seward in the reviews below this? While I was taking her class I never understood what they were talking about. Professor Seward is super kind and cares about her students. There are multiple unit quizzes but they are not hard. The busy work is busy work and takes an hour at most with her reminding you of the assignments that are due before then. The departmental grammar test at the end of the semester is just another pain of the class but very reasonable with the practice they give us on Pearson. The final is not that bad, take that with a grain of salt as this is the semester that we were on online school. I thought the market research project was more work than its' worth but my group members were my friends and we all did our part to get it done on time. Just keep up with the class and you'll be fine!!  - Grade In Class:B+

Comments:BUS 3315 - This class really isn't that bad. 3 unit quizzes, which are taken directly from the end of the chapter reviews, and 4 grammar quizzes. The grammar quizzes suck but actually help prepare you for the departmental grammar test. There's also a semester project, which honestly isn't awful because it's split up over the semester and wasn't too stressful. I agree with the person below, GET A GOOD GROUP FOR THIS PROJECT. Class itself is boring to sit through, but Seward is pretty chill and tries to make it bearable. There was hardly ever homework either. Would recommend taking her!!!!  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:Bus 3315 - She is a huge stickler for grammar which is a 15% of the grade. There are no tests so that is amazing but there are 4 unit quizzes which she takes directly off the end of chapter review. there are also 4 grammar quizzes that help prepare you for the department final (which sucks). Overall it is very easy class BUUUTTTTT GET A GOOD GROUP!!!!! that is most of your grade and i had a SHITTTTTTYYYY group and did the entire paper myself and it was extremely difficult and time consuming but she was very understanding and knew i had shitty people. with a good group this class would be a breeze.  - Grade In Class:B+

Comments:BUS 3315 - The earlier reviews are a bit harsh and I don't think they're an accurate reflection of the class now. There wasn't a lot of busy work aside from the final project, which I thought was graded fairly. You are given plenty of feedback from her on your rough drafts to improve it before submitting the final draft. She's really disorganized in class, and the final project will take up a lot of your time, but there wasn't really any busy work and she's a pretty nice lady who tries to help her students. It's a boring class, but she does her best to try and make it a bit more interesting. If you want someone who is more organized in class and who doesn't assign a time consuming final project, then you might want to look elsewhere. Otherwise, she's not as bad now as the earlier reviews claim.  - Grade In Class:B+

Comments:BComm - Although she is uncomfortable to pay attention to in class, her class is very easy. As long as you know basic grammar, it will be easy for you to get an A. When I saw her terrible rating on BUBooks, I tried so hard to get out of her class. However, I stayed in it for hour issues, and honestly this class was the easiest thing I've ever taken. She is a little tough on grammar when it comes to assignments being turned in, but other than that, this class is easy to pass.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:BUS 3315 - Worst professor I have ever had. I received outstanding grades on everything except a final project that is worth 25% of the final grade. She is proud that no one has gotten an A on the project in all her semesters of teaching. It is a boring subject made worse by a terrible professor.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:Business Communications - She takes her class way too seriously and makes it a point to make sure people don't make an A. She does this by dropping everyone a letter grade with the final project that is 25% of your grade. Other professors make this class an easy A but she does not. She is awful do not take this woman. She should not be a professor.  - Grade In Class:B

Comments:3315 - AVOID HER!!! You get tons of busy work so she can penalize people who are absent. She takes pride in the fact that only 4 students that she has taught got an "A-" on the final project, only after a 15 point curve mind you, which is worth 25% of your grade! The grammar jeopardy day was probably the most beneficial day we had. I do not say that because it was a game we got to play, but because it allowed us to see many different examples of grammar issues which we could learn from. I also thought that the resume unit was very beneficial. The powerpoint slides from Pearson are USELESS!! They are like beating a dead horse. The class is literally falling asleep and no one is learning from them. You will lose a lot of points because of grammar on almost all assignments yet we spend almost no time on it. She also grades for grammar that matches her style, so going to the writing center (which 3 of my classmates and I did) and getting two people from there to read your paper isn't helpful. So all in all, avoid her if at all possible. She's having a baby so maybe things will change but I would not risk it!  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:3305 - For a class that is supposed to be very helpful and informative on the different types of business writings that a professional would be expected to conduct in the work place, Dr. Seward is not the right professor. She literally prides herself on not giving out a lot of A's because she feels as though rarely are there such things as "perfect work" and that is what she is expecting to see if you're going to earn an A in her class. There is a major research paper worth 25% of the class that is assigned towards the end of the semester, and literally the class average was a 55%... so she had to curve everyone's grade 15 extra points just so people would pass. She considered that as "normal" LOL. The only things that somewhat saved my grade in her class were the pointless busy work assignments and quizzes that she randomly assigns. They're pretty easy if you do the light readings so don't blow them off. Overall, I would not recommend Dr. Seward to anyone needing to take Business Writing.  - Grade In Class:B+

Comments:3315 - Avoid this class at all costs. The information is not particularly helpful whatsoever and the busy work is constant. She gives constant busy work grades to try and keep people from skipping. She means well but focuses way too much on grammar and does not teach business communication skills effectively. Workload isnt necessarily hard just extraordinarily annoying. Do well on the grammar diagnostic tests at the beginning or you will be taking annoying grammar mastery tests all semester. Find another prof who has taught business and isn't a Phd english major.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:BUS 3315 - Avoid Seward if possible. She obviously does not like teaching college students and is very proud of her PhD. Most of the class felt like busy work. All the homework is super easy until the last couple weeks when there is a final project with a lot of little details that just seem redundant. There are no tests until the end and then there are two finals + the final project. Other classes were given study guides for the departmental exam, but our class didn't get it. I think she means well... Her teaching style just makes an already laborious course worse.  - Grade In Class:A
