Comment:

he literally taught nothing. the online assignments are unclear and pointless. no feedback of why you got the grade you did, and the slides are a confusing mess. just do the practice questions a lot and try to find old finals to study off of. the questions are all the same

Overall pretty good class. I find the ebook we had to read was way too long for nothing and could have been much more condensed. The final is worth 60% and is computer generated so you really have to be familiar with all of the material.

final is worth 60%, mini-case worth 15% and pretty much everything else is 1% per quiz/ assignements. It requires a good 30 min to 120min of actual work for 1%. Really not worth it. videos are useless and need to be updated.

You need to pay for various websites. It is an easy course if you study. For a first year course, it shows you that you are in a University and no more in highschool, so independance is key. Most people that complain are people that didn't study the right thing. Make sure to always go on the websites to get the updates.

Comment:

This class is a joke. Had to sign up to 3-4 websites for the class and ended up paying around $300 in useless website fees. I learned absolutely nothing in this class. The class videos are decades old, the prof is impossible to get in touch with, and the TAs, though they probably try, are equally incompetent. Shame that it's a JMSB requisite.

this class is a waste of money so you better get the grade you want from it lol cause you don't want to repeat it and spend hundred of dollars on it again. however, it is an easy class, it is not challenging. it is easy to pass it with a good grade!

Comment:

Absolute joke of a course, textbook is apprx. 1000 pages (including excel and access), yet material on the final is not found in the textbook... Saade either has no clue whats going on, or chooses ignore everything (probably the latter). glad I got a 70 on the final mostly by guessing as i had not seen the material before.

You will have to learn how to use SAP by yourself. Study well for the midterms, he will ask basic multiple choice questions but harder long answer questions. Some of them even require some creativity, meaning that you will need to think outside of the box. Also, team project consists of a big part of your final grade so choose well your teammates.

Sad excuse of an introductory class for computers. The whole structure of the class makes no sense and the final was ridiculous. I didn't a single thing from BTM 200. Too bad it is needed to get into JMSB.

It's confusing course. Despite the fact that I studied really really hard and reviewed many of the Question Banks, I encountered more than 40% of the final questions that I have no clue about.
