What is your favorite class to teach?

Favorite classes to teach: Project management (PM) and leadership! Part of being a project manager is about leading the team to complete the objectives of the project. This includes setting a clear vision and mission so the team can clearly understand what this project is about. This will provide direction and improve commitment. They will be better able to understand what this project is about and how it will benefit the organization. All of which involve exceptional PM and leadership skills!

My advice to students...

Let me tell you what one of my doctoral professors said to me when I was concerned about how I was doing. He said, "Laura, what do they call someone who gets a B in their doctoral program?" I said, "What?" He said, "Doctor."
He went on to tell me that, "No one will ever ask you how you did, they only want to know that you did it. So just do the best that you can!" You know, he was right, no one has ever asked me how I did. I always tell my students to just do your best and keep moving forward...you can do this!
