Comment:

If you don't want to work and actually learn the material, you won't do well. My team had good results meeting with her for extra clarification/explanation on group projects. Developing a good rapport with her is a must (and a bonus). Definitely one of the classes I looked forward to...and came away having learned something valuable in my field.

Comment:

Is quite a character...can be extremely unkind, scathing, rude, child-like and stubborn as well..has the tendency to rip you apart and make you feel like****..but is a cool person if you get to know her very well..many feel that she couldn't crack it in corporate..avoid her if you can.

Comment:

Now to get this straight, I got an A in her class but it had nothing to do with her teaching. Her tests were insane for the time given, she berated, yelled at, and otherwise demoralized students. Yet she was almost pleasant to talk to outside of class, glad she decide to leave, even though she prob would have been kicked out.

Nancy "Legs" Lightner is not an easy "A" but you may actually learn something if you do the work.

Comment:

Having been in a professional setting for many years, I was excited to have the opportunity to take some CIS courses to strengthen my understanding of a rapidly changing field. To say I was disappointed in this class would be an understatement. She was aloof, condescending and generally rude. If I managed my employees the way she runs a class I'

Comment:

These people are either crazy, or she spent alot of time on here herself. I have met no one who thinks she is human, much less a decent teacher. The average grade on her first exam was a 47 she gave a 5 point after promising more and after frop date DEVIL

Comment:

Dont let her advise you either. I went in there, and within 15 min she had me depressed, and just about ready to drop out of college. She was incredibly unkind, and spoke down to me the whole time. I would hate to have her as a teacher.

Comment:

First Impressions leave something to be desired, but once you get to know her she's a great person. Best thing to do is show up for class, do the reading and assignments, ask questions, and talk to her after class (about anything) and get to know her.

Comes off as a hard-a** but kinda cool once you get to know her. She is a better communicator face to face than in the classroom.

Lazy dullards, you were warned not to take her class! She expects you to show up and pay attention. Too late to drop now!

Comment:

In your face, unforgiving, and the most unpersonable person alive. Will tear into your personality and break you down (should be working at a boot camp). Takes offense to everything you say. So intimidating, its like staring down the barrel of a gun.

Comment:

I made an A in her class, but I taught myself in order to get it. She no capacity for teaching. She assigns things before having covered the relevant material and has the gall to yell at students when they ask questions to understand the assignment.

Comment:

To be frank she is simply godawful. The things she expects and the things she teaches rarely sync up. I have an A in her class and still can't stand the sight of her. Somebody dropped the ball when hiring this incompetent.

Very tough but absolutely knows her stuff. If you want to prepare for a career, this is the teacher you want. If you're looking for a grade, take astronomy!
