<p>Who are the best people to take the following classes with</p>
<p>ECON-E 370
BUS A 201
BUS-A 202
BUS-X104 Bus. Presentations
BUS-X204 Bus Communications
BUS-L 201 Bus Law (Is this course really hard??)
BUS-X 201 Technology (Kinser,James Eric and Akaiwa,Frank Ernest are the ones available)</p>
<p>Check the grade distribution reports for last Fall and Spring for each class. I was looking at X201 this morning and I know Kinser and a couple of others had good distributions. My son is taking X104 right now with his FIG and feels he is doing well. His prof is Kathy Fletcher.<br>
Also, check Ratemyprofessors. However, unless there are several ratings I wouldn't put much stock in them and even then take comments with a grain of salt. It can be helpful in understanding a profs style though.</p>
<p>Also, keep in mind that sometimes you have no choices on who to take a class with.</p>
<p>For example, Econ E370 is being offered this next semester only with Mary Beth Camp--who has terrible ratings on ratemyprofessor. On the other hand, there are only a few people who have rated her. When one considers that E370 is a high-level statistics class, it is likely that there would be some people who just didn't understand the material--and they are probably the ones who did the ratings. </p>
<p>As far as your classes, both Econ E270 and Business A202 only have one professor teaching the classes, so you should probably only bother asking about the other courses.</p>
<p>The best thing to do with E370 is to take one of the equivalents.</p>
<p>MATH K310 (3 cr.), MATH M365 (3 cr.), or PSY K310 (3 cr.) will all count instead of E370.</p>
<p>M365 is an easy class, grade distribution is very generous.</p>
<p>M 365 is being taught by Michael Natapov, I guess this is the first time he is teaching at IU. I also saw this class has M 212(I have only done 118 and 119) as a prerequisite, but when i registered through Oncourse, I didn't get any error message. In terms of subject content is it easier than E-370? Would it be sensible to go ahead with a prof teaching for the first time?</p>
<p>2) In terms of grading, who are the best people to take Bus. Presentations and communications with? I really want to get As in these 2 courses.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot.</p>
<p>I think for Business Communications that Polly and Ryan are the preferred teachers. I don't know who the preferred ones are for Business Presentations. For the law course, McCrory is the teacher everyone raves about--but his grading curve is really strict--so I don't know who to suggest.</p>
<p>P.S. Be aware that CMCL C121 is an acceptable substitute for the Business Presentations class--so when checking out professors, check out the ones teaching that class also. Also, Natapov has taught before at IU--he just hasn't taught MATH M365 before.</p>
