Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Unwilling to help

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Questions on the final exam will not be from content covered in the class. Doesn't care about the students and is OK with watching them fail. Generally disrespectful to students as well.

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Group Project class where you do not get to pick your groups. Attend class or you will lose all of your participation points. Gave out a lot of extra credit in the beginning of the semester. Online textbook.

The tests are very different than class materials and the excel modules will have a negative impact on your grade. Avoid this professor, she does not help her students.

DON'T TAKE! -CMIS 342! Workload was overload! She requires so many different assignments she can't even clearly explain everything. Exams had such detailed questions it would be impossible to ace. Did random training on Salesforce, and retook a whole excel course (I already did this in GBA?). Then throws a group report and presentation at the end!

This is by far the worst teacher I have had at siue. I will not get into specifics, but know she doesn't care about her students and is an awful teacher. She also very rarely will answer your emails.

The amount of material she tries to cover is overwhelmng. She gives so much material it was a lot just reading all her instructions for how to complete the assignments. She seems smart but makes teaching more complicated for the students than it needs to be. There was a group project and everyone else I worked with basically felt the same way.

On test she will take off point for answers being to long. Her tests are long with not enough time to complete them. She doesn't answer emailed clear and not very professional. Doesn't respond back fast or at all. Office hours are only 1 hour a week in person. Tried to sign up for office hours via zoom and I think she took them down.

Her tests do not match up with material covered in class. Don't bother making a study guide. You can study for hours and still get bad grades on the tests. The group projects consists of so many papers. She nit picks everything but is caring person, outside of being a professor. Easy A if you put in the work and cover material outside of class.

Worst professor I've had. Scratch that, worst teacher I've had in nearly 16 years of education. Doesn't know the content. Treats students like children. Would prefer to have guest speakers or present meaningless information, rather than prepare students for exams. Disrespectful to students. Blackboard is also impossible to use from clutter.
