Comment:

DO NOT TAKE HER ONLINE. I'm sure she's better in a real class but online over the summer is the worst decision you will ever make, the third highest grade in my class was a high C, and I barely passed with a D+, despite normally being a B+, A- kind of student. If online we will not be accessible and finding your teams' contact info won't be easy.

Comment:

Dr. Smith is a really nice person, she will help you a lot if you have questions. But group project is complicated, you have to work very hard during the whole semester. I think she is not a tough grader as long as you complete your work as her requirements. Some extra credit.

Dr. Smith is a great professor! Though some people don't like her because she talks about her yourself, I loved her class. The tests are pretty difficult, but fun fact all the the tests are open book. She will make class fun and entertaining. Be aware group project that you work on pretty much all semester long, but it's fun! Take it!

I had a great time in her ISOM 300 class. The class is based off of one extremely large project, but if start it in the beginning of the semester like she says you'll be fine. She offers many chances for extra credit.

Comment:

The whole class is based around one massive project (around 200 pages) that is worth 70% of your grade. Very intimidating but probably the most valuable class you will ever take. Would take it all over again if I had the choice.

Dr. Smith has been the been the most professional teacher I have taken so far. She is extremely nice and funny and will keep class entertaining. If you are looking to further your education in the business field by doing real work, choose Dr. Smith. She makes you read and figure out how to do the work on your own, which is extremely valuable.

Comment:

Isom300 is a very hard class if you take it with Dr. Smith. But honestly I wouldn't have wanted to take the class with any other teacher. She is very helpful and resourceful for your semester long project. She is down to earth but also can be strict if you arent paying attention or doing your work. The tests are only about 20 questions but are hard

One of the most caring and intelligent professors I've ever had. But the the semester long project is kind of rough. She breaks it down very specific and helps you the whole way through. Great add to the resume.

Dr. Smith has a great personality. Her class requires you to work hard and put effort into it. For the most part, you will basically teach yourself the chapters, you must read them. Her tests are hard, very detailed but she knows this and curves many of them and some are open book. Weekly HW that is tricky. I learned a lot in her class though.

Comment:

Dr. Smith is an okay professor, but don't take her class if you're not prepared to work hard. Attendance is mandatory, and this class requires you to complete Action Assignments every week and sometimes the directions are unclear. Some assignments were helpful but others seemed like a waste of time.

Comment:

Nothing is clear, but you are not allowed to say you are confused. The semester long project is ridiculous and it is very unclear as to what she really wants. The first four exams are easy open book, the final will not be. The homework is ungodly, very long and boring. She will say things are due and then not collect them.

she may good at job performance but exactly not a good professor. She is means sometimes and refuse to answer "stupid" questions, even though most of us do not know. She also force you buy her new book every semester. Used book is not allowed. Project is your final grade and she grades it depends on her mood! You may fall from A to C without reason

Comment:

Dr. Smith is the best professor I've ever had. Yes the homework is long but she give you plenty of time to finish. The team project is lengthy but if you work a two days out the week and follow along with the book you will get an A. She also gives great feedback and doesn't want anyone to fail. Very helpful and dresses to the nines ever class !
