This is one of those classes that you take just because of the professor. James Cheng is an entrepreneur, investor and former Secretary of Commerce in Virginia. He has lead a very interesting life and has a lot to teach his students about government and entrepreneurship. He recommends various articles and videos which are worth consuming. He's a genuine guy and wants to teach. Class is a breeze by the way.

Definitely a great STS 2xxx class to take. (also counts for the Engineering Business Minor)
Cheng is a great guy, but his lectures are very dry and boring. About 2 of his lectures were actually interesting. The best part about his class was the speakers he brought in. Cheng and his colleagues have a lot of field experience with entrepreneurship. It's really cool to hear from these people speak and ask questions. Other than that, very dry class. He takes attendance and participation is a big chunk of your grade... so don't skip.
I went into this class expecting an easy A; that's not the case. It's a very easy A-, but hitting that 95 for the A is pretty difficult. For the work though, I would recommend this class.
