I loved Professor Shook so much last semester that I'm taking her again this semester! She is so cute and so kind, she is super willing to work around your life and personal issues that might come up. I loved her teaching style and how everything was laid out to help students get a good grade!

Professor Shook is extremely nice and cares about her students. Everything she talks about in class is what you are tested over. When it comes to the assignments, she makes sure she is very clear on what you have to do and how to do it. Overall, I really enjoyed her class.

Dr. Shook is an incredibly kind professor and is very caring about her students. The class is not difficult and if you do your part you should get an A. She loves animals also which is fun.

The simulations at the end of the semester are the hardest and most time consuming assignments in this class. However, she opens them up early and is there to help if need be. As long as you turn the simulations and excel/tableau work, you'll be totally fine in this class.

Professor Shook is the sweetest professor I've had at UARK. She explained everything clearly in class, and we only met once a week. She provides detailed steps and videos for every assignment due so that you're guaranteed to make an A on everything. Only two exams on lockdown, and they don't ruin your grade if you do poorly.

She adds some memes and jokes into her non-mandatory lectures. She's sweet and her class is really easy. We went once a week. Tbh I did not learn much but it's not my major so I don't really care.

If you can follow directions, this class should be the easiest A ever. Don't go to class because you won't really learn anything. Assignments are easy but time consuming

Dr. Shook is genuinely one of the most kind, caring people that I've ever met. Her lectures are interesting and insightful, and the course content isn't difficult. She sends weekly emails on what is expected and has videos walking you through the homework. Would highly recommend taking Dr. Shook for ISYS 2103.

Dr. Shook is very accessible and helpful but this course seems poorly put together. Lots of homework, mandatory attendance and a final group project which none have clear enough instructions. Test are fairly hard even if you never miss a class. She gave us a test after she cancelled class the full week before. Overall, its manageable but not ideal.

Best professor at uark. She is so kind and understanding. if you can, take this class during an intersession because she makes it so enjoyable. She is also very helpful with all the assignments. if I could rate her 100000/10, I would.

Dr. Shook is the best professor that you can have for Information Systems. During intercession, we took notes about several topics, short case studies in class, and all excel projects from Cengage were walked through in class. We ended early all days. As long as you studied a little and completed the easy simulations, getting an A is no problem.

When I say run and take this professor, I mean you need to sprint. She is so caring and her work was probably one of the easiest things I have had to do. I got a 100 on all assignments and above a 90 on all the test. She makes this class very passable. She replies to emails very fast and actually wants her students to do well in life. TAKE HER!

Professor Shook, in my opinion is a very good teacher. During lectures she goes over everything that will be on tests. She tries to interact with her students too which is nicer than most professors. I feel like I learned something taking her class and now I am going to minor in info systems because of this class.

Professor Shook is great! the class is super easy if you just do the weekly hw assignments. They are not hard but you'll definitely take about an hour or more to complete them. Exams are pretty easy to if you just study the material. Also it's important to learn excel, salesforce, tableau etc. for us business students.

She seems to have severe anxiety issues that she projects onto her students. Will spend the first 10-15 minutes of class talking about how worried she is about different things. Also does not control her classroom and will not tell disruptive students they need to be quiet, and will allow them to dominate the class so no content can be covered.

She means well, but the class and assignments are very confusing. She jumps between assignments, which makes it overstimulating and hard to follow. The class itself is easy, just ask questions until you understand because wording is always unclear. Some exams written questions are harder, but studying slides and in-class notes is helpful.
