One of the better IT Professors. Extremely passionate about everything that she says and genuinely wants students to learn. Covers midterm material relatively well but for some reason, the final was extremely hard. If it wasn't for the final, I probably should've gotten at least an A-.

Gilleran is an absolutely must-take. She is a fair grader but teaches all you need to know. Gilleran's class is so engaging and wonderful, and she is such a sweet lady. Would take her again in a heartbeat.

A total angel and is very straightforward with expectations for work. Class slides were identical to exam questions. If you're struggling with accounting related things, go to her office hours because she loves to talk and connect with students. If you have concerns with your venture, email her, she loves it when you ask for help outside of class

Comment:

Did not enjoy subject, and textbook was a complete waste but Gilleran was fine. Course has such little material that topics dragged out. Is really the equivalent of a 2 credit class learning wise. Since everyone must take IT, would recommend her, but if it was optional would not. Class can get boring but not sure if that's her fault.

Gilleran made class interesting with her lectures. Only spend time studying what she has in her exam review, for it exactly mirrors the exam. Make sure you participate regularly. I recommend her.

Comment:

Gilleran is enthusiastic about her work, although she is often not specific when illustrating IT topics - sometimes the specifics of a topic get lost in her enthusiasm for the subject. She can communicate her passion clearly, and is very available to talk to students about projects. She is an easy grader, although the criteria is not too clear.

Very average professor. She is not very organized and a little senile. Not very clear. Gives huge group projects without much warning or time. It is an easy class.

IT wasn't really appealing to me before and but it's a required class. Gilleran isn't the most interesting professor but she teaches you what you need to know and has review sessions before every exam going over everything that's going to be on the text. Just show up to class you don't have to pay too much attention

Gilleran is a very nice little lady, but can be boring at times. She shows the class some cool stuff but it isnt enough to keep things interesting. luckily, she is one of the easiest IT professors in FME. I just went on my computer the entire time she was teaching and looked over the powerpoints before exams and aced every one. take her if you can.

She is such a grandma! Just want to give her a hug! She is too cute! She is very knowledgeable of what she talks about and study the powerpoints because everything is in the exam comes from the powerpoint. She is just a little boring but she is full of excitement and super cute
