Professor is very kind and is very helpful. However, I would strongly suggest taking this as an online class. Everything is done on a computer. Lots of homework--not hard, but time consuming. easy A nonetheless.

High demand course its an hybrid class. I never had her my time ever attending Farmingdale. Im happy this is only time I take her. Loves to hear herself talk about her fancy neighbors,110% talks in her lectures nothing relating to the class but tries to correlate but fails to course. Very contradictive in her assignments & what she really wants.

Prof. Villani is basically an angel. She cares for her student. Her stories are fantastic and she will extend the assignment if you can't finish it on time.

Really nice. Exams are really easy she posts a review powerpoint before the exam. The lab portion is really easy as well, just long and annoying a lot "projects" are to be expected. Do the textbook projects before doing the sam projects to make it easier. TAKE THIS COURSE EASY A.

Comment:

professor villani cares about her students!! If you don't pass her class you shouldn't be in it. Getting her is a blessing, she's very accommodating when it comes to assignments, and helps you if you ask! If you don't have her get her! She gives reviews for every test, which means you shouldn't get below a 98 on any of the tests. Review is the test

If you're experienced with excel and/or access, this class will be an easy A. If not, don't worry! Just do the homework and a little studying and you should get a good grade. Prof is very nice and is willing to help you if you're having trouble.

Comment:

One of my favorite professors that I have had at Farmingdale. I could tell from the start of the course that she cared about helping the students in her class pass the course as well as learn. HW is every class but easy. She will help you with anything you need and is open minded to discussion in class. Everything you want in a professor.

Comment:

This course I enjoyed a lot but I must warn you though the assignments, projects and opinion paper can be overwhelming. This is where she shine; if you need some assistance don't be afraid to ask her for help. I strongly suggest this because a lot of the course require one to be diligent and efficient. If you do procrastinate; rest in peace.

Great professor, clear on everything. Yes, she may assign a lot of work but its not her doing, any BCS160 course requires the same amount of assignments so not her to blame. Really easy assignments just keep up and do all of them

She does assign a lot of material, but none of the stuff is hard at all. The tutorials all you have to do is follow, the training shows you what to do. The only real work you have to do is the assignments which don't take more than 25minutes once you finished the tutorial and know what to do. A lot of assignments, all very easy.

Comment:

I put a-lot of work into her class, and still didnt get a decent grade for the class. It made me very dissatisfied and upset. The amount of work you ned to do is abnoxious, and very time consuming so make sure you use your time wisely. Her exams are not hard if you study, but the amount of work she gives is abnoxious.Overall she's an ok professor.

I liked her teaching style. Fair, easy to understand, I would recommend her class. Overall, I didn't find any major negatives in her teaching style. She was in the top 10 of my teachers.

Comment:

This class is fairly easy, but she assigns A LOT of work, and there are A LOT of exams. There are 3 assignments, sometimes 4 due per week. A quiz every other week, to the point where they don't even take a huge toll on your grade. Though, none of the work assigned in this class is particularly hard, just time consuming. Do it all, and you'll pass.

Great prof! Highly recommended. Always easy to keep in touch with, very helpful & flexible. BCS 301 is a tough class to take online - tons of work. Approx 11 Chapter quizzes/discussions & 4 "written assignments". Make sure to get good group memebers for the milestones!

Comment:

This professor is GREAT. I found the class to be extremely interesting (thanks to her lectures), but not super easy. She gives out review sheets before the exams which are very helpful, you will need to study the text/review to get a good grade. There are three (group) presentations you'll have to give in front of the class.

Comment:

This is the most useless class I have ever taken.Just a bunch of terms jammed down your throat. I think the book creates terms just to fill the chapters.With that being said,Dr. Villani tries her best to make it some what interesting.Sometimes I feel bad for her! Although I would not want to take this useless class with somebody that does not try.

Best professor at Suny Farmingdale!" Such a nice lady, who is extremely understanding! She loves to digress with life stories, but keeps the class interesting.
