Comment:

There was no organization in this class whatsoever. Rubrics for anything are a rarity. There is no set schedule or even an outline to go off of when trying to make sure your homework is on time. If you didn't know about an assignment because of these factors, get ready for a zero and her blaming the class for not knowing about "said" assignment.

Comment:

She rarely explains what we are actually doing. She just puts you on Pearson and expects you to just understand how to do it then blames Pearson. If you're not already good at excel and access you are going to have a really hard time. She also says that you can ask for help but when you do she gets an attitude and has a snarky comment.

Comment:

Taking this class online was super easy: minimal effort (didn't read the book or review PowerPoints) and easily got an A. Put in enough time to complete the several weekly assignments. She's a very easy grader and also super nice. There is often confusion regarding assignment instructions and the syllabus wasn't followed exactly. Not a major prob.

Comment:

Dr. Noce is a very helpful professor. I took this class as a Maymester class and I thought it was very easy. The homework's can get annoying and she can be confusing with her directions sometimes but all the quizzes and projects were so easy, she even records videos explaining step by step how to do them. I recommend taking her.

Comment:

Actually terrible at communicating with her students. I read mixed reviews on here before taking her and regret my decision. Uses other work- hardly teaches organically. Takes a long time to grade things, puts out confusing information, often doesn't show up to meetings she schedules with you. Tons of busy work.

Comment:

Doesn't grade anything until the last week and doesn't follow her own rubrics. Her class is a joke and she rarely follows the course schedule. It's not uncommon to feel completely lost in the class.

Comment:

-Unclear grading criteria. -Does not follow syllabus. -Assignments not graded in a timely manner. She is a wonderful woman with great connections, however, she is stretched too thin. Her TA did not put in 70% of the grades in until finals week. The class was unorganized and unclear.

Comment:

Very nice professor, she does seem to care about her students. Seems a little disorganized however with grading and keeping up with due dates and staying on schedule. Very nice lady, but you have to go out of your way to get help from her. Lectures are boring, but gives lots of time to work on your website/blog/etc. in class, which is nice.

Comment:

Dr. Noce has been the worst professor I've had throughout my entire college career. She pushes her social media agenda upon all of her students and for some reason refuses to respond to emails, phone calls, or any form of communication. Her directions are unclear and she often grades incorrectly, but you can never get it fixed. Worthless professor!

Very easy class. Straightforward assignments. Syllabus was not updated and used from the previous semester. No final! Quizzes are directly from the book. IMPOSSIBLE to contact. Never answers emails, EVER. So if you need to contact her you are out of luck.

Comment:

This woman NEVER returns emails. I took an online course and never got anything back from her!! She scheduled times in computer labs to meet up with us and then didn't bother to show up! Yes, I personally responded to the email stating I would be at the prearranged meeting place and time. Never showed nor emailed to say she would not be there

Possibly the laziest professor at Behrend. Uses outdated "lectures". Instructions are riddled with mistakes. Marks answers incorrect when they are actually correct. NEVER responds to questions.

Comment:

She is incredibly lazy at grading, in fact she doesn't grade unless you bug her enough about it. She is indecently hard to get a hold of. If you could avoid her I would, it feels like she doesn't prioritize her students whatsoever, and doesn't care. Not a good professor at ALL!

Comment:

Lazy teacher who reuses taped lectures from years ago. Parts of her lectures are word for word straight from Wikipedia! Tests posted online have been for the wrong section or refer to a textbook when we don't have one. She posts the weekly assignments a few days late but doesn't change the due day.It's the 5th week and still nothing graded yet.

Dr. Noce is easily the most helpful and best teacher I have ever taken. She is ALWAYS available for help, just make sure to use ur GMAIL address not her psu address. Also, she gives you her CELL PHONE number. Will work with you on assignments, help you get a job, pretty much anything and even on weekends! Fantastic!

Comment:

She really tries to help students out. Her class can be really boring. She really tries to tell you what is on the tests. The quizzes are vocab terms straight from the book. PAY ATTENTION TO THE CLASS SCHELDULE ON LINE. The class scheldule is not a part of the regular syllabus. It's easy to miss assignments since she does not announce them.
