Work is fine. I got to the final and basically failed. knock all the course material out in the beginning. The final was hard. I was 1 point away from a C and she wouldn't give me a point. The class is already wayyy too much for 1 credit hr course.

She is a great teacher and I love her. The class is easy if you know how to type on a keyboard. If you don't, I highly recommend fixing that. I really enjoy her class and I learn a lot. The information is something you will actually use in the future

Horrible. Don't buy the book just knock out the work in the first two weeks with the free trial. You'll have two mandatory exams that have to be taken with a proctor. The MFT and Excel certification. Failed both still passed the class with a B. She never emails you back, slow at grading, and takes the 1 credit class super serious.

Comment:

Worst. Instructor. Ever. Directions were very unclear, as evidenced by the multitude of students posting questions around similar topics. Instead of providing clarifying directions, she just answered questions as one offs here and there. Terribly disorganized. For a 1 semester hour course, the course work is equivalent to a 3 hour course.

Be sure to do the trainings and you will be fine on the exams. Read the book for the final! it is multiple choice and fill in the blank.

Comment:

Dr. Smith is a nice lady, but I just didn't like her teaching style. I'd basically go to class and mess around on the computer and then go home and teach myself the material. It's a tough class, and she tries to be funny, but she's not. Also, she leaves the room during quizzes (um do you think we are not going to chat?). If you have to take her, OK

The help is there if you need it. However, expect weekly homework and readings. 1st and 2nd second exams are okay. The 3rd and 4th test are the hardest. You have to take a formative at the end given by the department. You cannot use YOUR calculator. You can only use the calculator in the test.

I have always been good with computers, but she is SO HARD! The program tests like excel and powerpoint were easy, but she kills you with homework. DO NOT recommend!

Comment:

I took her during the summer so shorter period of time, you can tell she simply enjoys teaching but there are certainly times when she gets impatient with the students which isn't necessarily a good thing if you're totally lost. I ended up using the book a whole lot. But she's all in all a pretty decent teacher if you have to take stats.

Ms. Smith is a decent professor. QM 3341 is a pretty easy course if you do the homework and pay attention in class. She allowed us to use a formula sheet on all exams, so there really wasn't a need for any hard studying. Any average student shouldn't have a problem making at least a B.

Satan. Plain and simple. He takes the form of a dumpy shrill professor, just for fun. Just keep your mouth shut and, for the love, do your assignments on time...OR suffer the consequences

Retarded. She cannot answer you questions. She pretends that she knows everything! That's BS! The most important thing is that she doesn't know how to teach.

She may be quite boring, but the class is not hard. You can basically teach yourself easily. The tests are easy except for the first one, but that one doesnt really matter. If you get on her good side she is very nice.

Comment:

Horrible nightmare of a teacher. Most of the time she just reads from the book and doesn't teach at all, but that's fine, cause when she does she speaks Greek. Harder than Pappanastos. She doesn't scale grades and the test questions are NOTHING like the homework or examples in the book. Even with a cheat sheet allowed, I failed. Take this online!

Okay, so if you are a suck-up, as mentioned in someone else's rating, you are fine. But, she is a horrible teacher during the week. I learned more in the Sunday study groups than i did all week.

Any class you take with this woman is boring. She is airheaded and a total idiot. Do not take. Whoever hired her should be beat with a cast iron frying pan.
