I had Dr. Carol Palmer-McGuffin for MGT4620 Teams and Technology (during the peak of the pandemic, which make the topic very timely).  I too enjoyed her class, and would recommend her.

I'll be taking Teams and Technology next session! How are the team collaborations? That's my only concern with her class. I've had to do team collabs at another online program and it was a disaster. People went on vacation during the course, took off for the weekend, submit their portion of the assignment late. It was a headache! And so stressful. That class was only 5 weeks long which I think made it worse.

I always worry about that as well. In my case I got assigned great team-members, and we worked well together.  We worked the assignment(s) like a project and got it done. It was rather real life (work) application; because in this remote world you often end up working with people you don't know, people you didn't pick and crossing timelines. In this course it is truly more about how you work together as a team, rather than the product produced (not that you want to produce a bad product - 'it' just doesn't need to be as perfect as the team effort put in).
