Reviews of professor Rachel Elkins-Flom

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
First exam, just study the powerpoints, and listen to her lecture because she is a great lecturer. Second exam is what got me, it is all about query and for the exam you have to do queries on access for your exam. It was difficult because of the time limit. And the final was pretty straight forwards as well. She helps you with the projects as well

Professor Flom intentionally makes trick questions on the exam to stump her students. The way she words exam questions makes finding the right answer difficult, even though you know the answer. I still believe she can teach, you really have to put in the effort and read every slide, and watch every single embedded video in her power points.

I mean this review is mainly about the TA's because that's who really teaches the class. Not to mention they speed through it because they think you understand a new software so easily. She has been the least helpful teacher, lies to her students about tests (Told us that plenty of people did well 20mins after an impossible exam she hasn't graded)

I hate how the class is structured. The last 5 weeks of the class there will be 3 exams and 2 projects. The tests are also designed to make students fail because of how the answer choices are set up. You barely get taught anything in lectures then are expected to be an expert on the subject. It makes no sense

2nd time taking this class & was nervous. I don't know where to start how much better, clearer, accessible, helpful, and more approachable she is compared to the other professor, King. Rachel wants to help you understand and goes through the lectures unlike King. She also does examples with lectures that help insanely with the hard material covered

way too much work of a 2 credit hour class and tests don't test your knowledge they just try to trip you up with the wording.

Horrible test format and layout.

Absolutely the worst professor I have ever had. She teaches through lazy online lecture videos, and just works through problems quickly and reads powerpoints. Labs are mandatory and ONLY taught by TA's. She shows up to labs but leaves 10 minutes after the lab begins. Material covered in labs is useless, and is nothing like what is on exams.

This class is hard and Flom does not make it any better. She is not super helpful and kind of vague. Attendance is not mandatory but the exams are based on her lectures. She will not make time outside of her normal office hours or class to meet and help.

Professor Flom is so awesome! She just came from the public accounting field and graduated from UT, so she is very knowledgeable about Information Management. I would take her again and again. The class is not easy, though, so be prepared to put in some effort outside of class to understand the material.
