Comment:
I would highly recommend taking Ruth Huwe's classes. The assigned readings are engaging and informative. The lectures are easy to follow and usually end before the allotted class time so that there is time to meet with project groups. The assignments, quizzes, and papers are manageable if you keep up with the class materials.

Im so sorry if you have Ruth. Ive never had a Professor more difficult to work with. She does not know how to use technology and shell make that YOUR problem. Shes so condescending, she will blame you for her own faults. Class isnt difficult if you read, just please dont run into issues with her, she will not help you at all.

Her way or the highway type of approach when it comes to discussions. Grades based off of how much she likes the student instead of objective criteria.

Extremely condescending towards students. Always tries to assert herself as better than you and I don't even think she has the self-awareness to realize it. Subtle racism and not open to any other perspectives that aren't her own.

Comment:
Her entire grading system is so subjective and biased I wouldn't be surprised if she just gave grades based off of how much she liked or disliked a student. Extremely unclear grading criteria. Always tries to show off her accomplishments and seem knowledgeable in everything like she's better than you. Many passive aggressive comments.

I always look at Rate my Professor when I register for a class, and typically I find to take a grain of salt on the ratings. With Ruth, I advise the opposite. All of the ratings you see are pretty accurate, she is intelligent, no doubt, but is condescending, rude and in my eyes does not care if her students succeed. Good luck...

Comment:
Ruth is easily one of the most condescending professors that I have ever had. Her course guidelines are VERY general which gives a false sense of flexibility, however if you do not do things her way you're going to get penalized for it. She belittles students during class, and doesn't consider opinion that don't align with hers. Very disappointed.

Ruth's alright. She's articulate, explains concepts well, and connects them to real-world events. For the most part she's likable, although she can be condescending at times. Her evaluative methods seem to be more subjective than objective, but she does seek feedback from the class. She provided very little guidance for the group project essay.

Comment:
I tried to be open-minded about this class and about Ruth from the beginning, but her class & project feedback tended to be very rude, rather than critical and helpful. She also tends to almost mock beliefs that she doesn't agree with, whether it's conservative or more left of her. It made it hard to enjoy and feel invested in the class.

Confusing lectures full of off-topic anecdotes. Pop quizzes are timed (3 min) but uber-specific to 40pg. readings. Canvas site completely unorganized which makes keeping up with course work very difficult. She has no tolerance for ideologies outside of her own - used almost every class exercise to bash slightest non-liberal thinking. Terrible.

Comment:
Although a mediocre professor at first, she slowly got worse and worse. Classes weren't recorded because it "messed up Zoom" -- it doesn't, major exercises were pointless and time consuming with no actual participation, and trick questions were purposeful on the test. An easy class, but it felt like she purposely tried to make students fail.

Unfortunately, Ruth's personal biases are much stronger than her desire to evaluate students in a fair and reasonable manner using clearly defined criteria. She will trash your grade over minor grievances and is famous for nitpicking to make you lose points over nothing. My favorite subject is MGMT and she made it horrible and depressing. Stay away

Comment:
Worst prof I ever had since I've been in UW. Super boring and confusing lectures. Does not take other people's contrasting opinions. Her exams are so long only 5 people finished on time. Tests on lots of minor details like why is this course a Foster core. Reading quizes poorly formulated. Avoid at all costs.

Ruth is not a good professor. She hates anyone who isn't a liberal or a business major, just not professional. Her assignments are confusing and her lectures are no help preparing for an exam. STAY AWAY!

I took MGMT 320 online and it was infuriating. All of Ruths assignments are meandering and incredibly confusing. She does not prepare students for exams and then does not provide enough time to compete them. Her lectures are incredibly partisan as she complains about conservatives and rambles about current news. For your sanity, find someone else.

Comment:
Disappointing class. Although I learned about stakeholder theory and broad ethical concepts, I'm concerned about Huwe's own ethics. Written exams were not graded on content, but on conformity. The sources Huwe used to make her arguments were laughable. Overall, it wasn't a horrible class, it just that I'm amazed she is a Foster Professor

Her class structure is AWEFUL. Ruth doesn't explain concepts well in class, junps around topics, and usually ends discussions and class with no conclusion. There are pop quizzes on reading assignments, but they are time limited so you need to know the big picture. Her projects have no clear rubric and expectations. Worst class ever taken at Foster.

Ruth didn't want to teach for the full period, so you have a fair amount of reading outside of class that you need to understand to do well on exams. The lectures and course structure jumps around and is disorganized. The types of analyses that get tested on are never demonstrated in class, it's really up to you to figure it out on your own.

For class actives, she gave us a list of names and made us email those people and set up our own Zoom meeting (during class) to complete the in class work sheet. This was extremely hectic, confusing, and frustrating. You might be thinking, oh maybe she just doesn't know technology. No. I informed her about breakout rooms and she get upset at me...

If you're going to UW, you know that classes are going to be remote. Avoid Ruth at all costs. She doesn't know how to use basic technology, doesn't use canvas, and everything is unclear and the class is pointless. Save yourself the added stress because she doesn't know how to teach remotely.
