Hard to understand her english which makes it really hard since she fails to explain things. Homework and Quizzes are easy, but the test are multiple choice and tricky.

I heard nightmare stories about DS350 so I came into this 8-week course with the worst in mind. I ended up with an A. Sue structures her online lectures concisely but enough to show you how processes work and how to come to your answers. She also shows you the shortcuts for processes and makes things so much simpler than the book does.

I took the course online in the summer & it was pretty tough due to being provided heavy material for a 4-week session. You'll just have to be up to date with reading and assignments in order to pass her course. She does, however, provided voiced over PDFs to clear up any confusion of materials. Be sure to go over those as well.

I think the material can be a little hard to understand for the concepts you have to read the actual book to get. Learn the formulas and what variables are used and you will be fine for the exam. Listen to her voiceover pdfs!

Comment:
The DS350 course was easier than I expected. I took it online as a 4-week summer course. There were relatively easy assignments and quizzes that were open book/internet. The tests are proctored on campus and closed book/internet, but they are 100% calculations, so study the practice problems and you'll ace the exams. Use Excel when possible.

This is a very tough class in general. I don't blame my instructor for my grade, I think it is just tough material. I THINK i am going to barely pass this class with a D-. I would recommend getting it over in a 4 week summer class. Dr. Sue did a FANTASTIC job communicating to us, even though it is an online class.

Overall this was an okay class. I took it as a summer pre-session. Quizzes are conceptual only, and tests are computational only. There's one discussion board post that's pretty easy. She gave extra credit. Lots of math involved but gives a formula sheet for the exams. Not as hard as I anticipated. Overall she's a good professor.

Took class as a 4 week intercession class during the summer. Was able to complete class while working 40 hour weeks with no problem. Would definitely recommend versus taking the semester long class.

Comment:
Dr. Sue is a perfect example of a professor spending too much time in academia. She is completely unaware of student demands/time and expects her course to take priority. The project was too time intensive for an 8 week course when combined with exams.

She does not instruct. She give the examples from the book (which are not clearly labelled) and expects us to decipher her work and learn from it. Would not recommend this instructor.

Comment:
By far one of the worst professors I have ever had. She does not teach & often makes mathematical mistakes that she does not fix. Her quizzes often cover never before seen material & is very unclear with her questions. If you have to take DS350 I strongly advise you to take it with a different professor. I would give her a negative rating if able.

Professor is extremely helpful and clear in the courses description and objectives. Study the practice problems and memorize the formulas and you'll pass easily. Easy points, easy grading, definitely recommend this course and professor.

I took this class in 4 weeks and I would NOT RECOMMEND IT. There is too much information for 4 weeks. Be sure to go to office hours. The book is necessary.

This is by far the most difficult class I have taken. I took it online as an 8-week class and it was brutal. So much material to learn in a short amount of time. Have a 90-minute proctored exam every 2 weeks. Never once saw the professor, even at the exams. Course material is extremely difficult. Extremely difficult class. Would not recommend.

Definitely challenging and no doubt you have to put in your effort... Lots of prep. I took this course Fall Semester Oct-Dec '15 offered online. Her voice-over pdf's are crucial to studying. The rest is slides, documents, homework questions, etc. Quizzes online, Homework online, but I always took the Exams in Clinton Hall (they were proctored.)

Took as a pre-session. The class moves very fast. Put most your energy into studying the formulas because they will be on the test and accounts for 60% of the exam. The other 40% of the exam in open book and online. Grades went as follows, Exam 1 45% A's, 38% B's & 17% C's. Exam 2 38% A's, 33% B's & 29% C's. Class is 330 points (3 exams, 2 quizes)

I find the material in this class to be difficult but she tried to provide examples that would help us. I don't really think this class works as an online class, but I didn't think the class was too terrible.

The online part of the tests were ridiculously hard. We never got our tests back to see what questions we missed. No feedback.
