Comment:

Professor Amer was amazing, if you're taking ISM-120 try to get her. The class is only one time a week. She engages the class with games and other activities. The homework outside of class is really time consuming so be prepared to spend 1-2 hours on homework.

Prof. Amer is absolutely amazing. She is so kind to everyone in her class and makes her lectures enjoyable with interactive games, up to date information, fun facts, and in class assignments. There is weekly homework that takes a lot of time and effort (1-3hrs) but many attempts to get 100. I highly recommend Prof. Amer!!

Comment:

Professor Amer is very kind to all her students. Class always seemed pointless, considering we were only graded on assignments outside of class. She made the lectures interesting, with games blended in and interactive discussions. Be prepared to spend some time on the assignments. They aren't hard, just tedious. I highly recommend this teacher.

Professor Amer is such an amazing teacher. Her lectures are extremely entertaining, interactive, and fun. You get reading assignments every week that are then used to complete mini quizzes in class and online assignments about different Microsoft Office applications. Both take about an hour to do.

I absolutely loved this class. Prof. Amer loves all of her students; she says that we're like her children. Her lectures are interesting because they always have something new, current, and up-and-coming (as this is a technology class). The homework is a real pain, you will spend hours on it, but you have 5 attempts to get 100%. Take this prof!

Comment:

Prof. Amer provides SO SO many opportunities to get extra credit. She makes class really easy. You have to spend at-least 3-4 hours on the online assignments each week. You'll have m, one online quiz at home, a quiz in class about the quiz/reading, and then an end of class quiz. SO SO much work, but easy to pass. Cares about students a lot!!!

She is a really nice professor and treat international students fairly. By the way, I like her handmade cookie very much. Can I take some more? Haha. You won't regret it when choosing her class!

She was always clear with us about what needed to be done for class, so that was good! But she is extremely pretentious and often spoke to me like I was a child.

Professor Amer is awesome. I enjoyed the information she presented about technology in the modern world and the discussions we had. It was very student centered and fun. Most of this class is working outside of the room, so you must stay on top of assignments.

Beverly is an amazing professor. She is so helpful and really cares about her students. Her lectures are really engaging and you only go to class once a week. There is homework every week and its time consuming but not hard. She's one of my favorite professors if you're failing the class she works with you to get you the best possible grade.

Professor Amber is such a caring individual. There is not nearly as much homework as previous students had, as the course changed fall of 2017. The big assignments are to be completed online, so be sure to give yourself enough time for those. Overall, the class was pretty easy and Professor Amer made dry material engaging and enjoyable.

DO WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO TO GET THIS PROFESSOR!! She is one of the sweetest and most adorable professors I've ever had. She wants all of her students to leave with a good knowledge base. Does tech current events each class that are very relevant and interesting. She cares about all of her students and their futures. She often brings treats to class.

Love love love Professor Amer! She is so sweet and really cares about her students. If you're failing, she will seriously work with you to get the grade you desire. Since the class is only once a week, don't forget about the notes, projects, and SAM work. You will do great!

Comment:

Ok I took ISM120 with Prof. Amer in the fall of 2016 the only thing that made this class difficult was the 15 pages of Cornell notes required weekly, although she showed us a new note taking method she's probably going to implement. As long as you do the work there is no way you won't get an A. Great teacher, she made showing up for class fun.

Do the weekly 15 pages of Cornell notes. They don't have to be good, just do them and you get the points. Weekly quizzes are easy and in class quizzes are with a group and open note. Learning Microsoft Office is fun but can take time to watch all the videos. Mostly just do the assignments and you'll get an A. She sends out emails telling whats due.

There were 3 difficult things about this course. One, is the cornell notes- you're required to take 15 pages of notes every week. Two, the weekly quizzes are extremely difficult but if you're good at guessing you'll be fine. Third, the big capstone exams aren't too bad just confusing. Make sure you're prepared!

Prof Amer is one of the best CIS 120 teachers, I've heard. Yeah, there are 15 pages of Cornell notes per week which suck but that is just how it is for CIS 120.
