Comment:

I emailed her after she had made an honest mistake on my Test Grade, but shocker she was utterly rude to me about it. Asked for URL's in the test question, then got mad at me for having the URLS there. Final Project is so vague but she'll take off points for not having stuff on there? But she did bump me up when i was 2 points off a higher grade

Comment:

I had Linda for an online class. No problems throughout the semester until finals came around. I e-mailed her asking to bump my borderline grade up. She made sure to shoot that down quickly. I continued to e-mail her and ask for other opportunities. She was confident that I did not deserve a better grade. NO CHILL

Worst teacher I have ever had. Her nature persona is extremely negative and hateful. There has been no help when regarding work and she is often hurtful to the individual when they ask questions.

Comment:

Ms. Lynam is very rude and confusing. I'm taking a online class for Information Business Management, and I email her a lot when it comes to the assignments. She always respond back with, "check blackboard" and it is not helpful at all. The class is very easy but not with her as a professor because shes very difficult.

Comment:

Ok in my opinion she is a very poor teacher. After the first 4 weeks the class went completely down hill. She wasn't around to help for office hours the lectures were long and at times hard to follow. If you aren't very knowledgeable about Excel and Access this will be a long class for you.

Comment:

Super easy class, one of the easiest I have taken. Information is very relevant to business world, but a lot of it is common sense. Lectures are clear cut, but almost unneeded. Not a ton of homework and all exams are online. Also offers extra credit for current events. Only con is she is very reluctant and rude when asked for help.

Comment:

She was an okay online professor. Consistent deadlines each week (Sunday at 11:59 pm) were ideal. This was just a tedious course with a lot of work. I recommend taking online. She also uses the SAM program which is expensive and it grades very harshly. She is a lazy grader, but grades the tests herself which is nice. It was an okay class.

Very easy class. Gives you instructions walking you through the assignments and emails back promptly and thoroughly. Assignments take maybe an hour a week, so I always worked ahead. Learned a lot from the class even with such little time and effort needed.

[ONLINE]All assignments are posted at the start of the semester, and made available a week in advance. She gives her own instructions for the harder assignments in addition to the default SAM ones. She also emails at the start of each week for the new assignments, and a reminder near the end of the week. Very easy to get a hold of, and always helps

Comment:

This class is frustrating at times, but thats not the professors fault. She gives your multiple times to submit each assignment, so theres no excuse why you should make a bad grade. She also gives you extra reading and video material to refer to for each assignment. Also, she has a discussion forum for any questions you may have. Good class overall

Comment:

She is just a crabby personality in general. Her class really isn't that difficult, but she just isn't really approachable. If you do ask a question, she normally has a smart remark in her answer to make you feel dumb. I just quit asking her any questions.

Comment:

Class was taken online and incredibly easy. I didn't have to do much reading of the online text because you can Google 99.9% of the assignments and get clearer answers. She responded very quickly to e-mails and was very straight-to-the-point. Would definitely take another online class with this professor.

Comment:

Taken online. This class was very difficult for an entry level class. Luckily there was a tutor on campus available. Some of the work was very difficult for an entry level class, but the teacher is a very fair grader and gives enough extra credit to balance things out. Very quick at answering emails, etc.

Comment:

She seemed nice at first, but then as I got to know her and tried to ask her more questions, it was as if she didnt want to help you. When going over things in class she goes extremely fast and also is unwilling to slow down.

Comment:

She is a fair grader. It isn't too difficult to do well if you try. She tends to play favorites a little though and is a stickler on cell phones. Some of her assignments are very general and vague.
