Reviews of professor Carrie Beam

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This class has no lectures, but to make up for it you have ~6 busywork assignments due every Wednesday. The content is not difficult, but there's a lot of it. I lucked out and took this class during an otherwise light semester; I couldn't imagine managing both this and something like a physics or chemistry class. Take it over the summer if you can.

Dr. Beam is very sweet, but as many others have said the way this course is taught is not good. Due dates are very lenient (within reason) so there's that at least. She teaches quite well when we watch videos from her rather than YT/LinkedIn, which is why I really wish this were an in person class instead. Tons of reading and workload is heavy.

Dr. Beam will get a lot of flak for this class, which is mediocre at absolute best, but she herself is cheerful and knows her stuff. I spent more time on this class than a few other engineering classes combined. Very busy work. Take advantage of the extra credit she gives out and stay up with the work. Hang in there and you'll make it.

This class is such a pain, I just wish she would just accept her role as the villain instead of being all cheery sending cat memes. The only thing she ever said about the workload was: "Yes, there are a lot of items in this week. It's the best practice we can give you, to set you up for success."

I would not call Beam a professor as she did not teach a single thing all semester long. To be honest I don't think I have ever actually seen her face. Get ready to read the textbook and do pointless homework assignments for hours on end with no professor

I hate to give Carrie Beam a 1, because she is very very sweet. However, this class is unbearable to go through. Be prepared to spend hours on each assignment trying to understand it, and doing lots of unnecessary excel sheets. She gives you a lot of wiggle room as to when to turn in assignments though and you can get a lot of extra credit.

Professor doesn't act her age. She will do happy dances and stab you from behind in finals.

So.. yeah. Everything that everyone says about this class? True. This professor basically doesn't teach. The most helpful thing she does is a weekly video where she goes over a practice quiz. That's it. The rest are YouTube videos, LinkedIn videos and reading. You're on your own, with TONS of homework to boot. This class NEEDS to be re-evaluated.

Kind of respect her for how little work she does and still gets paid. Almost everything is graded automatically except for weekly homework assignments which the TA's grade. The material itself isn't difficult, everything is just time consuming and there is no guidance just read the textbook and the occasional linkedin learning video.
