beware of Ross Alum. teaching at Ross

[phisigman03]

IF you find yourself with a Ross Alum. for PBL becareful. He may seem cool and relaxed [tos violation] He will tell you at the end that you made perfect on your PBL but will wrtie down the crappiest score then turn it in. I had to find this out the hard way and now everyone in his PBL group is pissed. Don't think that by writing to him it will do a difference becasue he will dodge your questions or ignore your email. THis is how ---- Ross grad. they know what it is like to be out there but yet they want to act like jerks. ---school, ---faculties, ---graduates this is what ROss has to offer think twice before coming down here . Best of luck

Hey, not trying to be rude or anything, but why don't you transfer out. Obviously you are miserable at Ross and you don't like anything there. Why not transfer to SMU or even Europe or something, maybe you will find what you are looking for. Living in the Grand Caymans is pretty similar to the US and from reading the SMU'ers posts, the admin has their act together as well...

Just my $.02

My PBL instructor, a Ross grad, was awsome. We all worked well together and all of us recieved very good grades for PBL. I think each situation is different and you can not make a generalization based on one experience.

I would love ot tranfer out but the thing is my grades are good and transfering from one caribb school to another doesn't really look good when residency roll around. I am however trying to transfer to the states.


Did you check on your PBL grade? Did you actually see it or you just trusted that person? THat is what I did too until my friend looked it up on the faculty's system and saw that everything he said was a LIE. Not a single person in my PBL group got the score that he said we got.

PBL grade doesn;t affect my grades I still came out with As and ** regardless if it was good or bad but the point here is that these people are just plain Shatty. If I had to do it over and knew all of the above I wouldn't be going to Ross. THis is the type of Doc that Ross produces/produced.

OMG, there are jerks in this world, even at ROSS....run run away

seriously, it's only 5% of your grade, assuming that you get a 70/100 from PBL, that means you will get a 3.5/5 point on your final grade.The 3.5 will round to 4 points, so only 1 point deficit. Just make solid As and ** on your mid terms and finals, and you should still get the grade you deserve.

seriously, if you are so unhappy, please feel free to leave, no one is begging you to stay

if you made As and ** like you stated in your post, just be happy.

YOu ever think that you may run into a bad intern or attending doctor in rotations? OMG think of the possiblilities

did you really read the post above. I wish i could run away like everyone is doing but guess what it doesn't lookk good on my record and true there are people in rotations and interns or whatever. But I am sure they are professional enough or man enough to look at me in the face and tell my why they gave me the grade that they did. And no PBL didn't affect my graes at all I would have made the same grade even with a 100% but that is not why I poste here and it is not why i am fussing. I do however have a friend that is border line in biochem and he getting screwed becasue of this sucker.

My PBL teacher is a ROSS grad too. I think that I had one of the best PBL teachers. I learned so much information (academic and non academic). I wish that I could have her as my PBL instructor again.

in everything else, great

It is funny how people blame PBL for failing a semester, when it is worth only 5% of your grade.

no one is blaming PBL for failing. But if you are on the mark PBL can either make you or break you.

hey if you re unhappy at ross like manyy people later find out then transfer out you won t be the first or the last

[islandthrift]

It is true if you are borderline that PBL can make or break you. This is why everyone should put the amount of time and energy into PBL that is required, just like every other subject. If you have a problem with your PBL instructor, you should go through the proper channels to complain.

you should complain if you know how that person really is already. But in my case the guy acted like he is all cool and laid back he even told us not to worry about our grades becasue we got all of the credits. So in this case you really can't complain and when you do its too late. I even emailed him and he replied with "I'll look into it." No changes were made. Regardless of who you got for PBL just do your best in all of your classes so your PBL can't break you.
