Comment:

Very boring, seems like she takes a decade to take about one small thing. Assignments were super easy but her test were crazy. She wanted you to recall specific steps from the assignments in the tests which I thought was crazy.

doesn't give feedback on what you missed on your assignments, i got an 18 out of 25 with no feedback as to why and the assignment was super easy very impossible to get wrong. Didn't learn a thing in this class just copied answers from the book. DO NOT TAKE HER!!!

She is good but sucks at teaching. She doesn't know what she is teaching. If you are taking programming class with her, get ready to learn zero.

Comment:

She is not good at lots of things. She will skip almost all important things that you need to know in programming. She was not able to give meaningful answers to the question asked by the students. If you have no choice and thinking of taking her class, please drop college. FYI: I got 'A' because i learned programming online.

Comment:

She is present in her office during office hours. That is the only good thing I can say about her. Other than that, do not make the same mistake I did. Take any other professor but her! You will not understand the material. Waste of time and money. Especially if you are a beginner, you will be clueless and confused for the entire semester!

Comment:

This class was a web-hybrid so we only met in class a handful of times. When we met we had a very lengthy assignment due and an assignment to complete during class. The class assignments were long and most people didn't finish them. The online assignments were even longer. She doesn't respond to emails and isn't very helpful during class.

Comment:

I could likely write a concise and logical examination outlining the case for this being perhaps the worst teacher in the world if I had the space and energy to do so. I will say that this teacher has a reputation as being not only incompetent but overly difficult and ambiguous to boot (not just among students). Shoot for a C or B and move on.

Comment:

Thanksgiving break assigns four chapters with many applications and paper for each chapter. She thinks she is our only class. She thinks this is fun for us. Don't take her class. Most unhelpful during class. Never answers emails. Students help each other during class. Half the time in class we can't finish so we have extra work to do

I'm a Microsoft Certified IT Professional, taking the class as a requirement for my (different) degree. She runs through things so fast it confused even me! doesn't take time to help one on one, other beginners were lost, Final was confusing, grammar horrible, a bad experience.

Her tests are impossible to pass. She expects you to memorize everything in the chapter for fill in the blank test with NO study guide. She uses incorrect grammar. I felt like she wanted us to fail.

Comment:

She said we would not be going to class because it was a computer class but then when you turn your work in online she will not grade it. Then when you email her about the confusion she will not respond! She did not grade anything I turned in online. She was the most unhelpful teacher I have EVER had.

Comment:

I loved Mrs.Spruel...Seriously, all you have to do is do your work and go to class.. I thought i was going to fail the class when i first registered but I had an A! She does go fast sometimes, but I mean for the assignments most of them give you pictures so you can see if you're doing it right...NOT hard at all, just a lot of work!!

Comment:

Very difficult teacher for a Computer Class. Doesn't accept late assignments st all!!! Even if you attempted to submit and didn't successfully do so. Homework is easy. Just Is hard to understand what she wants. Grading was unclear. No clear direction of where you stand in grades. Needed help... she provided very little.

I wish I wouldve read this site b4 I took her class. She is not helpful @ all. She says 2 contact her if u want specifics on ur grades and when u contact her she gives u a general answer. She has a grammar problem. She uses words twice. She has a hard time with singular and plural words. She is very vague take some1 else.

She DOES NOT respond to emails (AND SHE'S A COMPUTER TEACHER!!!) Never in her office during office hours. A lot of busy work. I made an A, but I always found myself staying up late to finish all of the work on time. Try to take someone else.

TONS of homework! It's not hard homework, just takes a lot of time. Her final was the hardest final I have EVERRRR taken!!!! The final was ridiculous and was the main reason my grade sucked at the end of the semester. I passed with a D. :(
