Comment:

Deb is one of the best profs! I bet if you follow her advice you will successfully publish your research papers. I wish I took the course earlier. I didn't get my grade yet but I am thankful for the opportunity to learn from Dr Fells. The assessments r structured well to achieve learning goals, the lectures well prepared, active and participatory

I really hope CP24 knows about this. WHAT THE HELL WAS THIS?!! I never knew a professor can be this bad. I got an A 100% because of my own hard work. What is learned in class is "The course is called ITM 100" PERIOD!. And whats with the rat tail?

Comment:

Honest review here, Professor Fels is such a Fels. She has no idea how to teach this course because she's a researcher. She brings in guest lecturers that think we're high school students. Our exam was to write 15 pages of complete BS with questions that makes no sense. It Fels good to finish this term cause I can't stand another term with her.

Comment:

I nearly Fels this course. If it wasn't for Professor Fels' awesome lecture and in class participation, I would be clueless on how to do the course capstone project. She is the best teacher I've had and I would definitely take her again any day over any other prof teaching ITM700. (I hope you don't fels for this review)

Comment:

Deb Fels utilized a series of guest lectures in lieu of presenting course materials. The guest lectures represented related content; it did not explain the concepts of the course text book. The final exam was 100% from the textbook. I know I did not Fel the exam, but I did not do as well as I could have with lectures on course material.

Comment:

She was thrown into this course and has absolutely no knowledge about any of the content being taught. She brings in other profs as 'guest lecturers' to teach her class. She forced us to get Twitter accounts to see updates about assignments yet she's barely used it. She's unclear and a hard marker. Exam questions were incomplete. Fels ya later.

Comment:

Terrible prof. Does not clarify whats on the exam she will tell us to study the whole book while the exam will be clearly based on a small section of the book. Theres no course outline and she wastes 1hr in a 2hr lecture talking about random nonsense. Lectures and powerpoints have absolutely nothing to do with whats on the exam. STAY AWAY!!!!

Comment:

EXTREMELY USELESS. Doesn't get to the point at all. Skips through 10 slides at a time and speaks only about how iPads and iPods are revolutionizing the world. If you get her, SWITCH TO ALEC CRAM. He's much better!

Comment:

WORST PROF. STAY AWAY. She's not organized or helpful, doesn't care about her students and can't teach a class to save her life. I learned more when the guest prof came in than in all of her other lectures combined. Nuff said.

Comment:

Switch profs as soon as you see that you have her! The class average is currently a 42% and it is an INTRODUCTORY course. Assignments are poorly explained and sometimes only open for submission until the day before! Everything about her is disorganized and is a pain to figure out. Made an easy course seem much harder than it should be.
