Reviews of professor Kelly McNamara

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I had Professor McNamara for Data Modeling for Business. There are weekly simulations to watch/complete (unlimited attempts) and weekly projects (2 attempts), as well as 3 timed capstone projects (only one attempt). I had to schedule Zoom meetings with her several times as the Excel projects were sometimes very tough, but Youtube can help a lot!

Not very clear on the material. She expects everyone to have learned MySQL before coming to class. She says she will go over something in class but then never does or time runs out. very petty on grading as far as when submitting it with the way she wants it or accidentally submitted the wrong file format .

Basically, if you are a Mac user... youre screwed. Had to do almost all the excel assignments in class or at the library. Tests are hard but she lets you use a cheat sheet for all of them. If you have questions outside of class, she uses zoom to voice call which is pretty convenient.

the class and structure of the course is so poor that i can see more clarity through muddy water than her guidelines for the team project . wants you to gather data from any company or please when its illegal. UTC should be ashamed of hiring someone who is pure petty on grading . get ready for alot of bad course evaluations

Kelly is great! She thoroughly encourages learning and any questions. Her class is very interactive and easy to follow. There are assignments worth 100 pts and exercises worth 10. There are also kahoots that track attendance. This class is not hard as long as you do well on the assignments and tests. Take Kelly's class!

Dr. Mac is very passionate about her profession and it shows. She will bend over backwards for you as long as you show up and participate. Very knowledgeable on all things analytics and IS.

Heavy on Excel/Tableau, but gives you the resources you need. She is super funny and easy to be entertained. Come to class with the discussion questions answered if you want brownie points. Not super tough if you know your stuff. Reading the book (specifically the study sections) is the best way to prepare for exams! LEARN YOUR LEARNING SHEET!

Dr. Mac is a great professor. I wouldn't say that her assignments are hard but they are a lot of busy work which was kind of annoying. She really loves her students though.

Good teacher. Just make sure to look at the quizzes and textbook questions before the tests. That is where some questions will come from. All around good teacher.
