VERY EASY CLASS. A must take for anyone. The teacher is great, makes the class fun and gets things done as quick as possible. The scheduled hour and a half class only takes 45 minutes or so each time. A++!

She's a very caring and helpful professor. Very easy to talk to, if you need any help on advising or anything. Best professor that I know so far at this school. Easy class and would definitely take her again.

easy class. assignments and tests are exactly like what u do in class. she's a very caring professor.

She is a nice person but when it comes to the subject matter she is very difficult to please. She is very anal and not willing to work with people who don't catch on immediately. She's a wiz at her topic but is not effective at helping others to achieve the same.

She is a great teacher and she is nice as well. Easy to talk to and she is helpful. UMBC is lucky to have her teaching and working with students.

Presents the material in a very coherent manner, follows the book very well with lectures. Exams aren't that difficult if you actually pay attention and/or read the book. Also, she is very kind and personable.

The class is directly from the book and if you attend lectures and memorize the answeres from the book, you will get an easy A. There was one paper which you only had to do to get an A. One test was quite unreasonable, however, she did give a small curve on the test to make up for it's difficulty. Overall, not a bad teacher.

I don't know what that one guy is talking about, b/c she a a great professor that knows what she's doing and is very helpful with al lher students. I w uold reccommend her any day.

Long as you read the Powerpoints and the vinettes in the text book she assignes youll do fine on the exams. she doent really give out what to study, just alot of information like chapters 4-7 but they are not cumulative so its not too bad.

She can be short with you, if you get on her nerves or if she's having a bad day. She posts the slides she discusses, so its not really necessary to take notes, unless she specifically says that something will be on the test. If you take the Y-portion with Ms. Lewis, you should have no troubles getting an A. Overall, not a bad teacher.

BS class. Needed it for econ major. Just do the assignments and you'll easily get a B. Tests had "trivia" crap on it, so be sure to memorize the names of people she mentions in the slides.

Pretty easy class. You have to know a good amount of material outside of the book for the exams. Lectures are straight from the powerpoint slides for the book. I used the book very little, mainly for case studies and class discussions and I managed a B. This class is a lot of work, I will caution you on that.

Mrs.Everhart was a great professor. She helps you if needed, she is always in her office during office hours, her grading is explained clearly, exams are fair and overall she's a great a teacher! I would suggest everyone take classes with Everhart.

Ok class and nice professor. Just alot of work.... paper, abstracts, a group project, and exams. If you do the work you should be okay.

She's a great teacher. She's easy to get along with. Funny & quirky. Always available to help. Everything is straight forward.

Easy course, seems very interested in the subject. Very easy to talk to, and easy grading. One term paper that she works you through the semester with deadlines. Tests are directly from the reading and the PowerPoint presentations. Definitely recommend this professor for this course. Funny, too, in class and very easy to approach.

Great teacher and very easy to approach. Exams are all out of the book and powerpoints. Makes it easier to understand info with good examples

She's just absolutely awesome, the best I've had so far in college. Her classes are easy and always so much fun, she's very interesting and is very easy to talk to. She gives you help whenever you need, and she's a very fair grader. STRONGLY RECOMMENED!!

She is a really cool teacher, a lot of fun and very helpful. oh ya and she got jokes lol, but the class was always fun and interesting..she knew how to entertain everyone.. Definately one of the best professors!! Take her class if possible, you will have fun! guaranteed! lol

This is one of the most interesting classes I have ever been enrolled in. The work load is fair and all material has been presented and explained in class. There are plenty of ways to obtain points for those who may not test take well. Ms. Everhart is one of the nicest Profs I've had so far. She makes you want to go to class.

Easy class, just study the powerpoint slides and you'll be fine. The lab section is a breeze really, just Microsoft Office stuff. Mrs. Everhart is a nice lady for the most part, she has her days just like the rest of us but overall I thought she was very helpful when I needed it and a fair grader.

fun and vibrant. passionate and enthusiastic. 3 exams, no finals. one research paper, one group project. 4 article reports, 2 individ present. not hard at all. very interesting material. organized and laid back. fun class. powerpoint lecture. powerpoint/textbook/related readings on exam. exams aren't hard. revise taught material. recommended!!

Ms. Everhart's classes are very well structured and organized. She is pretty lenient and will give you extensions if you ask. Our class was pretty straight forward. Exams were slightly hard, but I didn't have the book. still got a B, little effort. A little closed minded though, can be opinionated.

shes a great professor. really funny. lab work is super easy; only really basic stuff about Microsoft Word, Excel, Access, and Powerpoint. one paper which is easy. 3-4 exams which are straight from the powerpoints. don't buy the book. you don't need it. overall very easy course with a great teacher!

This is the best teacher I have ever had.She is extremely nice, she knows what she's talking about & she is very helpful.I go to her often to chat.The class is easy and as long as you do the write-ups on time,you'll pass. Make sure you site your well,if you do,you should get 100% of the extra points. The exams are easy just read and listen in class

she is the best teacher at UMBC. very clear and funny keeps the class interesting it's hard to fail her exam one paper 3 exams very easy read the book no final I really liked. lab is very is too just easy stuff about MS word, access and excel I got A in this class

She is a nice teacher; I wouldn't go as far as saying she's the best. Very VERY easy class. Just show up and re-read the slides before the exam and you're golden. She loves group work.

Fairly simple class; 1 long paper and 4 short article reviews to write (must present 1 of them). Exams are OK -- MC, TF, and several essays but she's a picky grader. Group project at the end is simple, but she does take attendance.

So Far, The best Lecturer I've had @umbc. Exams are fair, 1 6-9p term paper, 4 article reviews-1 u have to present, & a group project. =! an easy A. She knows how to be mean and nice as well so go to cls. She takes attendance. Grade wise, she gives you what you get! no ifs or buts ... If she is teaching a cls take her !!!!

Proof that home-grown professors are Grade-A. Prof. Everhart is very down-to-earth and just an all-around great professor. Her tests are relatively easy, but you will be scratching your brain on some questions. Her lectures are interesting, and she keeps you interested. Would highly recommend her to anyone starting out in IS.

Very good professor for IS101. She is very straightforward, class is very easy in general. Basically no homework and tests are very easy. She is also willing to help you with anything dealing with class or anything school related. Very nice although strict about deadlines, talking in class, etc.

Over all she is a nice teacher and is flexible.

don't buy the Acess 2007 book, because you never use it. pretty easy class. if you read chapter summaries before test and write down important things on PP in class, tests are easy. hard to understand lab teacher

Great professor! She truly cares about the students. If you take notes and pay attention in class, you will succeed. Don't waste money on buying the Access 2007 book for lab - you won't need it.

very nice teacher. easy exams and one paper. I loved her class. don't buy the access book for the lab. you won't need it.

Summer IS 300. Was very clear what you needed to know for the test. Very helpful if you have questions. If you do the work, and study what she tells you will be on the test- you will get an A. Not even that much studying, maybe an hour before the test you study, thats all you need as long as you go to class and pay attention. good teacher!

This is truly on of the best professors I've had at UMBC. She is nice and even funny. Also, she brings in cookies when discussing internet cookies. If you have to take IS300 I strongly recommend you take it with her. If you complete everything and study the slides for the exams, you should get an easy A.

Attendance is mandatory if you expect to get a passing grade. Assigns good amount of homework, articles, and projects to be completed so you have to put in a good amount of work to get a desirable grade. She's friendly, has a great sense of humor and is willing to help her students.

She is very nice and funny at times. I'm taking a class with her and I can see she is one of the best teachers for this course. She assigns 4 article reviews and you have to present one to class. 2 case studies and a research paper. Also, 3 exams.

Best instructor I've met in the IS department at UMBC. She's interested in the course and her students. Attendance is really important to her. I've taken multiple courses with her, she's great!

Wonderful for IS 300; 436 is significantly harder. Not easy, but students learn a tremendous amount. Study well for exams (especially DFD & ERD for Exam 1), choose group members wisely (semester-long proj. - design system), and you'll receive at least a B. If you find yourself in an unmotivated group and/or perform badly on exams, prepare for Hell.

If you're late...you WILL be fried. Will not tolerate phones. She's very motherly which makes her very likeable. Her class is simple and sorta easy to pass, but in class instruction is extremely repetitive and boring, so w/o your phone it is HARD to stay awake. She has SOME days when there's an in class activity. Those are always great!

There's a semester long project for during the first 2 weeks of class, choose your group members wisely. She's expects full concentrations and attendance from her students. Buy the book! HW assignments are from it, and it'll serve you well when it comes time to study for her exams. 2 Quizzes & 2 exams. Around 2-3 HW assignments. It's an easy B.

I love her. She'S FUNNY, makes you want to come to class! Very clear on explanations, engages students to participate. Very helpful during office hours, will consider extra credit. Wish she taught 310 too, not tate redding (horrible). Take notes in class and pay attention, you'll pass. Gives study guides for tests, but you need to know A LOT

She is one of the best professors of the IS department. Really god explaining and what I really like is that her exams are easy if you read and UNDERSTAND the material. They're not trivial questions, you need to know the concepts to apply it to the questions on her exam. As long as you read and pay attention you will be good. Excellent professor

Wonderful at teaching. Shows she is really into teaching and will help you. But when it comes to exams, she is very hard. Her exam reviews are not really helpful. It may seem an easy A in the class but exams will surprise you. YOu are lucky if you get B.

Mrs. Everhart is good about telling us what we need to know for exams, & her lectures are easy to follow. However, she has an attitude. She is very condescending and not approachable. She has ridiculous policies. You have to make an appointment to see your exams. She refuses to pass them back in class. Very nit-picky about written assignments.

Mrs. Everhart is a great professor, but will work you to the bone. The semester project is time consuming and tedious since you have to constantly redo deliverables while working on the next, so make sure you have a competent group. The exams can be difficult. My biggest complaint is that she goes on with pointless sports stories before an exam.

One of the best IS professors for this course. She makes the course content interesting with her fun personality and makes the class more lively. There was a total of two presentations, which were not bad at all since she'd allow you to read from the paper. There were not a lot of written assignments and they were very short and easy.

Awesome person, but not the best teacher. Most of class time is the lectures, which are straight from a power point, which she also post online. The workload and exams aren't bad. She says you need the textbook - you don't. You'll just need to copy 1 case study from a classmate.

Second course taken with her as an instructor. Great personality as a professor. Not at all an easy teacher but more or less fair. If you want to get an A, take notes in her class along w ppts. Pretty strict on grading papers (Ive lost points simply for APA format mistakes). Easy to meet woutside of class for help.. not enough students do it

her test are hard and confusing. you do not need a book. Also, you will write 10 page annotated BIB. her lecture are long and when she says something is on the test it is really not there

Honestly the difficulty of this class taught by professor Everhart is very reasonable for a gateway. She is straightforward in her teachings and expects you to study and write high quality papers. Don't expect to get good grades with last minute work, put effort into each paper and exam and you will do perfectly fine. I enjoyed her Sarcastic humor.

Good professor but pretty hard. Lots of busywork (papers, presentations, homework) but if you put in a solid effort you'll do well. Very hard to get an A, only 5 out of 40 in our class.

She is overall a very good teacher. She makes you do a lot of work, though it isn't difficult stuff. 3 exams total, just memorize the outlines she posts on blackboard to the fullest and the presentation articles and you are guaranteed atleast an 80 on the exams. Pay attention in class and she pretty much tells you exactly what is on the exam. GL.

Everhart is a good professor for IS! She does teach the subject well and does stress its importance making the class a bit difficult. But if you come to class and study the powerpoint slides then you should be fine. She can be a tough grader however so be check every little detail. Also beware of semester-long paper which can get annoying.

Don't listen to reviews. If you're not lazy and somewhat motivated she is not bad of a teacher. Just attend class she tells you what will be on the exams. The exam MC comes from the cengage practice quizes and half the exam is just remembering article info. She tells you how she wants things and if you follow her rules you will get an A.

Everhart is a good professor and class is generally enjoyable and educational. Her tests are difficult however. In IS436 there were 6 quizzes each worth 12.5% each and the group project. You really have to read the book or spend a good amount of time studying to get decent grades on the quizzes.

Great teacher. Smart, knows her stuff, will admit when she's made a mistake. She does not tolerate you screwing off during class. Pay attention! The final project is a lot of work but it's not HARD work. She cares about your success and she'll help you out outside of class. Good prof!

She is a fun teacher. She may come off as rude or petty but the class itself is not difficult. STUDY THE LECTURE NOTES SHE POSTS ONLINE AND PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS. She literally tells you whats on big parts of the tests. Study HARD for exam 2 (hardest exam). She is very snarky at times but dont get offended, thats just how she is. She means well.

Prof Everhart is amazing! Don't listen to everyone else, she does come off as snarky sometimes but that's if you don't get her sarcasm and humor (also if you act up). She's very clear about grading and the assignments are relatively easy. Tells you word for word what's on exams. Material is really easy to memorize.

Loved her class. Exams were fair and she told you what was on the exam. Textbook was not really needed, just go to lecture. A few presentations and some small writing assingments.

Hilarious, A professor that will call you out on things that (most professors should) but don't. She comes off as strict, but If you look deeper you can tell she cares and is trying to mold her students to what they will experience in the 'real world' work force. Late? Called out.. You also learn a lot, she gets you used to presenting to others. <3

She's fairly interested in what she's teaching but falls back to PPTs for most of the class. It's understandable, but that coupled with the frequency of writing assignments makes it feel a little tedious. Solid teacher with a decent sense of humour. Would recommend taking this class.

Show up to class, ask questions in debates and on presentations. Lectures covered common sense content so were boring but easy to understand. Gives many hints about exam content. Exams consist of short answers and some m/c. Does have two writing assignments and 4 short news article reviews. She was trying a new textbook so textbook wasn't needed.

Mrs. Everhart is actually a good professor. The workload was not as insane as others have put it. If you have good time management skills, and ask her for feedback earlier before the due date, you will be set. Also it helps to take copious notes of her talking points since they will be on every exam. Reading the textbook and slides are a must.

Amy is an amazing professor you just have to talk with her. She listened to me complain about peer evaluations & had her look over my assignment before my presentation and got 100%. All the people complaining probably never talked to her outside of class. 10/10 would take her class again! Just talk to her like a human being and you will pass

Good professor. Explains well and tried to engage students. Harsh grader though when it comes to citations. Exams are also rather hard so study a lot. Workload isn't too bad. Ask for clarification when you need it. Key takeaway: CITATIONS MATTER so be sure you get them right and study for exams.

Everhart is a good professor. I ended up having to retake this class and retook it with her again. As long as you ask for clarification on assignments and things she is happy to explain. Bit of a picky grader though. Her tests are hard but if you study well you can get at least a B on them. She tries to engage students during lectures with groups

I am very surprised by the amount of negative reviews here. Prof was very passionate when I took her class and made sure we understood the material. Her lectures are great if you're attentive and engage in the group activities. The group project looks scary but isn't that bad as long as you follow directions. The hardest part were the class quizzes

I liked Professor Amy. Do not underestimate her class as I did. She wants you to learn the material, so you need to study hard. She will be retiring soon so this comment doesn't matter anymore I guess. Enjoy the retirement Professor Amy! Good luck!
