Comment:

This is my favorite prof I've ever had She is so willing to help and has phone meetings with you to make sure you are doing well in her class. I cannot express enough how amazing this prof is. I wish she taught every business class. She gives a rubric with every paper to let you know exactly what she is looking for, follow that and thats an easy A

I ended this class on a very bad note. We had a final project that was assigned at the beginning of the semester. At the end I was satisfied with the outcome and turned it in on time! However, the project was never graded!!??!? I never receive feedback and have e-mailed the teracher countless times on the matter. I regret putting my time into it

She is a favorite prof of mine! I learned so much in her class. Group participation is a daily activity, but she's so sweet it's easy. Easy quizzes and a book report at the end. She's open to new ideas and knows her stuff! Will specifically look for her classes going forward.

She is a very good teacher, attendance and participation are important a section of your grade are in-class assignments. Alexander uses Mcgraw Hill connect work so be prepared for that.

Comment:

This class is pretty simple. Her syllabus says attendance is mandatory, but she's pretty forgetful and doesn't hold you to it. The online book assignments are annoying but easy- she provides very clear expectations. I don't feel like I've learned anything, she just reads the book to us... but it's an easy A

She is a very nice woman and she understands anything. Whether you had trouble turning something in or even forgot, she gives you a chance. I had no issue with her but the end project can be pretty tough. Take other business classes first.

Comment:

I took Business Communications online. We used an online textbook. There was a ton of assignments that were more like busy work. I did not really learn a lot from this course. I was not impressed with her turn around time when it came to grading assignments. She does give a rubric for every assignment, so expectations are clear.

Comment:

Class was not too difficult but at times assignments and deadlines were unclear which made the class feel unorganized. Everything is online which can be good and bad at times. That was the only complaint I ever had about her class. Lectures are usually laid back and interactive which I liked. She is very nice and is great overall professor.

Comment:

I liked this Organizational Behavior class, but the homework is more extensive than any other online or classroom class that I have taken. Having group work every single week in an online class is really difficult. Most weeks consisted of 1 or 2 quizzes, 3 discussion boards, 1 group assignment and a writing assignment so get ready to work.

Very nice professor, there is no quizzes, or tests, but there is a large 15pg formal analytical report due at the end of the semester with a powerpoint, and presentation (choice of videoing it or in person). Make sure you keep up with discussion board posts, its the normal 3 out of 7 days. Would take again!

Highly recommended! Everything you need to complete is laid out week by week. Just stay on top of your work, or you'll get behind!

I try to get Alexander as a professor whenever I can. She uses a rubric for every assignment so it is very clear and detailed of what is expected. The only thing I do not like is she is big on group assignments. I hate group work!

Comment:

She is a very harsh grader. Make one error and you will pay for it big time. She does NOT clarify assignments whats so ever. The work does not make much sense, and she is not one to help clarify. Other than that, it is a pretty easy class.

Alexander's class was pretty easy but there were a lot of writing assignments and quizzes. All the quizzes are on blackboard so they are open book. I skipped around 5-6 classes and still passed with an easy B.

No tests or final. There is a final project, and she doesn't do a complete job of explaining it. Quizzes are easy and can be taken twice. Overall decent class for Business Com.

To start off she is a very nice teacher. Her ways to tech the subject is the same though out of her class's. There are no test. For quiz's they are very easy, and can take them twice to get a better grade. She does take a lot of time to returned papers of student emails

Never went to class, still got an A- 1 quiz per section 4 assignments per 2-3 weeks. Easy easy easy. Have to read a book and write a paper on it. Interesting teacher though, lots of discussions. I would highly recommend.

Comment:

Harder than expected. There was A LOT of work to do each week. Group projects are not really useful in an online environment. Seems kinda picky with work and can be intolerant of mistakes. I probably won't take another class with her unless I absolutely have to. She does not respond to questions very quickly either.

I had her for an online class. The class was pretty easy as long as you did the work and there was a lot of it. 3 discussions, an assignment, a group assignment and working on the final group project each week.
