I think you should only take her if you are a CIS major or minor. Pay attention on how much each assignment is weighted. There are quizzes every class on reading but they are generally pretty easy and honestly if you were to fail most of them, it wont affect your grade that much

Comment:
She's really nice and passionate about CIS and very willing to help. Assigns about 10-15 pages of reading before each class then have a reading quiz on that section every class (easy though) 2 tests and a final, all very straight forward from the book and lectures.

Comment:
first off, "Dr." Lending gives so much unnecessary work its ridiculous. Access projects take forever and are worth 10 frikin points. class is mandatory b/c you have reading quizzes everyday but lectures are obsoletely pointless w/ ZERO meaning. Tests consist of material she doesn't talk about ever, so that sucks. 0/10 recommend

Quizzes every class that come directly from the reading so if you do that then you'll be fine. Doesn't really give great feedback on access projects which can be confusing and worth a good portion of the grade.

Do you want to be constantly reminded that you're taking a pointless class? Want to hear a teacher drone on about things no one cares about, in what is quite possibly the most annoying voice on the east coast? Want to waste copious amounts of time doing homework assignments that are literally designed to be as annoying as possible? Take Lending!

Comment:
This class was incredibly useless, and Professor Lending was painful to endure. She is in no way, shape, or form knowledgeable in anything IT related. She dodges questions, grades subjectively, is uncomfortably awkward, and very lazy. I dreaded every second I had to sit down in this class. Get prepared to work hard, learn nothing, and not get an A!

Extremely easy class! Announced 5 question reading quizzes every week that you complete once by yourself and then as a group. Multiple choice section of the test are the exact questions from the reading quizzes! Lots of in class activities so attendance is pretty much manditory. 4 graded homework assignments. Overall VERY EASY class! TAKE HER!

Comment:
I agree with the two previous entries about this professor, but I think there is a little bit more to add. Although there is no attendance policy, she issues group assignments almost every time the class meets. She also grades on these...which makes it seem you are being graded on attendance. I could have taken this class online in half a semester.

A nice teacher but a little scatter brained. Doesn't post notes online so you need to go to class to get the information. We did a lot of group activities in class, so another reason for attendance. She tries her best to help and most of the information came from the book. If you do your work an A or B is pretty easy.

Comment:
Very difficult to understand, refuses to use powerpoints for her lectures. If you miss notes, that's it there is no way of getting them unless you have friends in the class. Stupid meeting requirement outside of class that honestly does not pertain to the subject at all. Very uninteresting material taught in a very bland manner.

Comment:
Read the text, almost everything comes from there. Tests are very fair and she tells you what to expect (do the practice tests). Definitely a class where doing the work gets you an easy A or B and not doing the work...well, doesn't. Makes herself very available for office hours if you need it. Overall a good teacher.

Comment:
One of the nicest teachers at JMU. Class is super easy if you keep up with the reading and take good notes. Homework is routinely questions from book, 5 tutorials from Access, 1 Access project, 3 collaboration exercises, 2 chapter tests, and a final. If you're absent, you risk getting a zero for the day if you're called on for a question. Take her!

Comment:
Possibly the most annoying voice I have ever heard. I think she really knows the material but would be happier behind a computer not dealing with us. She is so painfully awkward and hard to relate to/pay attention to. You MUST attend every class or you could miss being called on and end up with a 60 in participation.

i did not like this class at all, she was extremely boring,made the tests harder than they should have been, had hmwk due every class, wouldnt let you go to the bathroom or else she would give you a zero for the day, took points off for tiny mistakes, i dont think shes a very fair teacher,im sure there are better teachers out there for 204

The most BORING professor there is. Knit pick when it comes to grading. Easy assignments, but make sure to not miss any details. Extremely emotional during class and will rip up your in class assignments if you go to the bathroom during class...bottom line find a better 204 professor;she's bearable but only as a last resort

a lot of busy work, but it is really easy. 2 projects (easy), 3 exams, and lots of hw/in class assignments. You should probably rethink this whole college thing if you do not get at least a B in the class. She is really nice, but sooo boring.

Forces you to come to class every day even though there is technically no attendance policy. Very dull professor, uninteresting class.
