Comment:

Im in her data analysis curse. assignments can be a bit confusing, mostly its how to use excel and spss (which everyone had been struggling with). Abbrassive attitude, pretty pointless class. Take it with angela or online instead.

Comment:

She is very helpful, easy to approach about course concerns, her assignments are straight forward. I passed the class with a B+, and I am no excel or SPSS genius( this was all new to me). Seriously, just show up to class, do the assignment and you'll do fine.

Comment:

Wicked boring class but was a requirement for Homeland. First assignment was how to use Excel, second was SPSS, and third was Powerpoint. Wicked dry stuff, but if you engage in the class she will like you. Test was wicked wicked easy. If you need to take this class I suggest you do it with her.

I would not recommend this teacher! The mid-term and final were very difficult. It doesn't matter how well you do through the course if you score low in the final that is worth 40% of your grade,you would not get a good grade. Take this course with a different professor.

Comment:

I am taking Data Analysis. This is a in class hands on doing excel and SPSS. Labs are due and graded. Also you need to keep a close eye on the work book assignments, because she wont remind you when things are due. I personally dont like the class, but am toughing it out. I think that the class size is too large to hold a lab style class and to mak

Comment:

can;t miss a class or your behind, but they go by fast with the 3 projects you work on throughout the semester. Take good notes when she does the powerpoint because those are the answers to the final exam which you only talk about the last 2 days of class.

Just about the same exact thing as undergrad data anaylsis, she isn't very clear going over stuff but easy class in that there is only 2 projects and a presentation which she grades fairly.

Comment:

Difficult class- a lot to take in. Lots of assignments. She is fairly clear but pretty strict, and the assignments are hard. If you are not willing to attend every class, I would not reccommend this teacher, because you will not do well unless you are there every time.

Her powerpoint lectures are pretty boring but the rest of the time flies by when doing the labs. Interesting class to say the least. She's decent.

She is a mean teacher to a lot of people and makes you feel guilty about a lot of things that are not your fault.
