Comment:

Jarzombek represents everything that is wrong with Bryant. Teachers who are not tenured feel under pressure to adhere to a "bell-curve" when grading. In other words, she is afraid of giving too many A's. Also, during office hours I went to ask her a question about importing, and she refused to answer? Not professional.

Comment:

i was one of the few that pulled an A- in her class. She's a decent teacher but she grades it like a 3 credit class even though IRT is somewhat of a joke. Get ready to do a lot of work and be pissed when you get your grades back

Comment:

This professor does not have the interest of the student in mind at all. My numerical scores came out to an A+ all throughout the semester but she kept saying that i was in the b to a range which made no sense. then i had to retake the final because her instructions were awful. i do not reccommend you take her.

Comment:

Decently nice lady, although the class reminds me of middle school. Her grading is system doesn't make sense and unless you put in much more effort than the class deserves, you will get a B. She takes her job too seriously and the class is slow paced. She knows little about computers past the curriculum of the course. I would not recommend.

Comment:

JARZOMBECK IS A PSYCHO! She told us the 1ST day of class that she only gives out B's cause she doesn't want to seem easy. She's totally scatterbrained and can't teach, the students teach her. Her assignments are ridiculous but you can spend all of class on AIM and Facebook. TAKE HER IF YOU WANT TO WORK YOUR BUTT OFF JUST TO END UP WITH A B GRADE!

Comment:

Crazy woman. Insults students. Blabs on about nothing for the entire class. Does take attendance. Not a hard class. Recommend sitting in front and participating, she likes that. Always email her if you have a question. Takes her job way to seriously for being an IRT teacher so you have to take the class seriously. Gives a lot of hw. Not a bad woman

Comment:

She was the worst teacher that I have ever had in my life. I have never met a more incompetent individual. On one of the first days of class she will tell you that she does not give out A's because it will look like she is too easy. She is highly unprofessional and constantly insults students. She should be fired from Bryant and work at Home Depot

Comment:

Honestly, worst teacher at Bryant. She really doesn't know anything, and doesn't grade fair. The class is supposed be on computer literacy, but she ends up grading on completly irrevelant issues. Claims to have never recieve e-mails even if you go your outbox and show her. She doesn't like it if you do well in her class and it'll affect your grade.

Worst Prof ever. I emailed her to make sure that my assignment went through she confirmed it then gave me a 0 for never getting it. So flighty all the time, total waste of time. Don't take her.

She is out there but she also a Great Professor. All you have to do is read the book for the project, and for the MovieMaker Project, the website, powerpoint, and the autobiography; do your best and you will get a great grade. you do have to work, but don't give up.

Valerie is really out there in her own world, but she's extremely nice and willing to help students if you have a problem. She tells funny stories about Home Depot, where I think she has sniffed a bit too much paint.

Comment:

I dont think there are any great IRT professors, and she isn't that bad to take. Class is easy. She doesn't really help you out and doesn't respond to e-mail which is annoying. Will adjust bad grades if you talk to her. No harm in taking her because the class is a joke.

Comment:

her class was a waste of time, but she made it seem that every class was extremely important. She seemed to make up the grades. She seems like a nice lady, just a little out there, that has to teach an incredibly easy class.
