Make sure you can write the test the day it is scheduled.

BCIT has some amazing teachers, and Denise is not one of them. She does not provide any learning resources beyond the textbook, yet what she asks of you is not always in it. There is a ton of weekly homework, and labs, so be ready to spend a lot of time figuring this course out on your own without any support.

Denise is the worst teacher that I have ever had. Her online class is a joke. Do yourself a favour, and take anyone else but her if you are interested in learning.

If you participate in Denise's classes you'll be fine. The key to her classes is to ask a lot of questions and get clarification of what you need to do. She can be pretty direct so if you're not used to that it may be a shock for you. If you need help she's always there and is great at explaining things.

DO NOT TAKE DENISE CALVERT for any of your courses. I really wanted to get this course out of the way so i took her but immediately regretted my decision. She never responds to any emails and barely provides any guidance on course work. She posts 10 minute long useless lectures. Overall regret my decision entirely and you will too.

Awful, awful, awful. Tests are filled with errors and content has incorrect dates. It's for the most a selfpaced course, she uploads small 5 minute videos that are pretty much useless. Instructions and due dates are very unclear and takes days to get back to you. Would not recommend.

Unfortunately, I don't have anything nice to say about Ms. Calvert's teaching skills. She isn't patient, neither answer your questions, but rather makes you feel stupid about them. I do not miss classes, never miss an assignment, but it also does not matter to her, she will not value your efforts to learn. It was a truly waste of time, FRUSTRATING

I was dreading taking this course after reading the ratings here, but I was pleasantly surprised how untrue the comments were. Denise is timely in her email responses and if you ask for clarification on some things, she will upload extra videos to help you. She also offers zoom meetings if you would like one-on-one sessions. I would take again.

Worst teacher I have ever experienced in my 30 years of life. Lectures are 3-5 minutes long and are not useful whatsoever. She teaches no concepts and expects you to teach yourself by "practicing". Denise is a slap in the face to BCITs integrity, and I feel like I was scammed out of $800 in a disgusting way even though I managed to get an A somehow

Denise was an okay instructor. Posted lots of study material, but most could be found in the textbook -- didn't really add much value. Nice person, offered extra help and responded quickly to emails, but never quite answered any of the questions I had. Either my English was bad or her reading comprehension was.
