Comment:

Professor Klein is a very experienced and smart woman. Classes would consist of her reading from an old PPT, with class discussion scattered throughout. Course material seemed way too high-level for a masters course, and the content of the book came across as elementary at times. Show up to class, do the HW, and you'll easily get an A.

Comment:

Prof. Klein is a really friendly and kind woman. Unfortunately, her subject matter is extremely dull, and the fact that she mostly reads from powerpoints the whole time doesn't help. Just go to lecture to get the vocabulary sheets she hands out and define those words on your cheat sheets and you'll do fine. Also, lab attendance is a MUST!

Really nice lady. Lecture gets boring but the work is easy and she lets you make up anything that you miss or that is late. As long as you don't mind getting a little bored take this class with her. Just do the easy work and you'll do well.

Professor is not very understanding of Graduate students, teaches graduate Visual Basic Course like an Undergraduate course. Reads directly off Power Points.

Lectures are long and boring, but the laptops in front of you pass the time. Labs are ok, but the numerous assignments can pile up if you keep putting them off. 2 non cumulative tests, 1 cumulative final, and assignments. Not too bad.

Comment:

Easy class..quite useless class to tell you the truth but its a good class to take if u in the business field(its a requirement lol)She has a monotonous voice which may put u to sleep. She allows u take u a sheet of notes to the exams and two sheets to finals. Attendance doesn't matter, just do all ur work and all the review sheets, u will get an A

Great Professor that gives open note exams. If you've lived under a box your entire life and don't know what a computer is you should still be able to get a B+.

Its "Discovering Computers".. as if kids in our generations don't know what a start button is on a PC. Anyways, this class is somewhat informative if you're a Bus Major.. Esther in general can be robotic at times, but she allows Pages of notes on tests, which aren't that bad.. An A is very managable here..

Comment:

Easiest class you can take, if you show up and do the work. However, it can put you to sleep. There is a laptop in front of you during lecture, but unfortunately she often has everyone close them so she can lecture for what seems like forever about things that are really common sense to our generation. Tests are easy, and you can use notes on them.

Comment:

Take her class, that's all I have to say. This is by far the easiest A i've ever recieved in my life. She let's you use cheat sheets on the test, and she's very easy going. Class is long and boring, but... theres a laptop in front of you to distract you. She's a cool teacher, take her if you need BCIS 014

Comment:

Everyone who gave her a bad rating is one of those anoying people who sits in the back, talks, never does any work and expects to get an A. And even if you do that you should still get an A, this was the easiest A I ever got, she curved everything.
