Ma-Lorena Escandon-Quintanilla

Sweet person but the most boring lecturer. Course content felt like a repeat of every other CRI class.

I think a lot of people overly judge Lorena; she is actually sweet once you get to know her and are engaged in her lessons. Although sometimes they can be dry, she does care and accommodates her students in stressful situations. There is an opportunity for bonus marks, but do be wary of the group assignment, as your relations will matter in it

I really enjoyed taking her CRI 400 class this semester. She always kept the class engaging through small group discussions and regular quizzes that helped with easy marks. The assignments were manageable as long as you attended class and paid attention. I would gladly take her course again in the future.

Lectures are slow, painful, and share content entirely separate from the assignments. The grading structure is weird, not tough but weird. The biggest issue however, is if you're taking this course it's likely you're a creative industries student, and every shred of info shared in this course was already discussed in five other CRI courses. Avoid.

I only went to the main lecture once the entire semester, and the tutorials like 3 times, and still got a B. The grades are mostly ALL group projects, so just contribute to your group and do your share and youll get a good grade. I got all 90's on mine, I only got a B because I missed so much and attendance is tracked by discussion boards on D2L

Prof herself is very kind, but the class is extremely disorganized, with unclear instructions, and boring content which is fully asynchronous. I suggest making good relations with your group and asking for confirmation directly from prof for ALL assignment details; guessing will not end well.

This course is a repeat of previous business courses such as BSM 100 and BSM 200. Just more scattered content. Its an average course, attendance is mandatory and part of your grade. Majority to all of the work is done in groups or partners, which is a plus as it divides the work load of the course. Wouldn't recommend if it wasn't mandatory.

It was really hard to be engaged in this class. She pretty much reads from the slides and there isn't a big incentive to go to class because of that. Most of the grades come from quizzes/exams. It was weird that we had online quizzes but had to do them in class. I don't think the course was very well planned overall, honestly.

Lorena is the definition of a mailing-it-in professor. Honestly, she does not teach anything at all, just reads off the slides, brings in irrelevant guest speakers almost every week to tell you things you learned about the school and conduct in year one, and does not care about her students or address them with respect. CI students deserve more

worst class of the semester. I dreaded going to this class bc it is such a waste of time. the TA is kinda rude and the 8am lectures are insufferable. there are way too many pointless assignments worth so little. they also kinda mark hard which is shocking for the lack of organization and effort for this course. didn't learn anything
