She is very helpful and makes class enjoyable. Lots of work to do but it is well worth the effort.
The best instructor so far.....
I did not like her for online Business Management. She was a picky teacher if she didn't like your submission you were given a poor grade. She also was real strict for class participation even if everyone agreed you still had to put someting or else
Excellent class. This was communications which she strongly encouraged. There were several assignments through the semester including a formal report. If you want to succeed, take this class with Sypniewski.
She was very strict, I feel to strict. The class material was hard to understand.
She was the best teacher I have had so far. As long as you do the work, you'll do fine. She is a great teacher.
she gives yo so much work. she thinks all you have is her class and no life. it's very hard and alot of wokk. i would never take her again
I thought she was a great teacher. She challenged you to do the best you could. She made you work hard but you felt satisifed when you received a great grade.
I didn't like this teacher at all,She is the worst teacher to take an online class with. First of all she thinks that no1 has a life and that we are all like her! she requires you to be online 6 days a week, including holidays off school, and even if you are, she'll still give you a poor grade on participation. Do yourself a favor DONT TAKE HER!
Never responded to an email about my project, I had to bring it to her attention before she did anything about replying. Assignments were unclear and due to that fact, my grade suffered. Wouldn't recommend. Spent too much time discussing research project; I would have liked to have been doing something else.
Very cool teacher, although it is not the easiest class. You have to be there all the time(it effects your grade) and there is a decent amount of work to be done.
Mrs. S was one of the best teacher's I've ever had. I liked her so much on campus for Business Communications that I took her online Management class. Her online homework was no more than any other teacher gives, if not less. It sounds to me that these other comments were made by lazy students. Take a 16 week class instead.
No Comments
I took the class online as a hybrid. I will say she is extremely tough and it is alot of work, but I enjoyed it. She was very helpfull and understanding. As long as you do your work, you shouldn't have a problem. I would take another class with her any day.
I was a big fan of Mrs. S granted there is alot of work and a couple speaches.The research paper was insaine and she was very specific in how things should be turned in, but I learned alot. The tests are to long and I didn't like the way she worded the questions. Keep up with your work and you will do fine.
Mrs. S was the best professor I have had at Macomb. It isn't easy work, but she is very helpful, easy to approach, and she knows what she's talking about. I wish she taught my major!
Apparently I'm the only person that had her for Intro to Computers...pretty easy class...tests weren't hard if you studied but it seemed many people didn't do well. Comupter assigments were a little tedious, very repetitive, but not all that hard. Had to take tests on home comp. using incl. software, and that took some attention. All in all...easy.
Excellent! She follows her very thorough syllabus to the T. Yes, lots of work, but no surprises, and very rewarding in the end. She gives you plenty of notice for assignments and tests, and is always there for you if you need any guidance. She is very organized and I would take a class with her again anytime if she taught another one in my progra
EXCELLANT teacher, I took this class over the summer and although it was intense at times, she was an amazing teacher. Very specific about what she wanted. Take advantage of the lab time! If you do she will be there to answer all of your questions and you can complete almost all our your big project in class. I would take her again any time
Not very helpful. She graded me wrong and I emailed with proof that my grade was wrong and she did not care. I have proof to back me up that my grade is wrong and she is no help at all.
One of the best professor so far. She made this class interesting and fun. The course was easily understood.
Excellent instructor and very professional. Showed enthusiasm and taught a very structured course. I will take any course she has to offer.
She was a great teacher, sense of humor, kind, and nice. All you have to do is go to class, take listen to her, do her side projects, read the book and it's an easy A. I loved her class, one of the best teacher I have had.
TOTAL FEMINIST GIVES YOU A MILLION HARD ASSIGNMENTS AND THEN EXPECTS YOU TO GIVE A 110% ON ALL PROJECTS AND SHE GRADES VERY HARD ESPESICALY IF YOU ARE A MALE. WAY TO MUCH WORK FOR A 200 LEVEL BUSINESS CLASS AT MACOMB
Just finished an online class with her. She is helpful and thorough, the assignments were pretty easy, and there were opportunities for extra credit. Friendly and made the class interesting.
I like Mrs. S as a person, but I can not stand her as a teacher. She said in the beginning that she understands we have a life outside of BCOM...oh really?? She gives WAY too much work. If anyone takes her, make sure it is the only class you take, and quit your job, and personal life. You will need all that time. I'll never take her again.
You will do a lot of fun stuff, and she is really passionate about her job. This was the only class that I actually got to know every classmate. The paper is a lot of work, so you should start it asap and not procrastinate. Great professor though. Make sure to study for the tests.
Awesome teacher but it's a hard class lots of work but she's an excellent teacher
Excellant teacher!!!!!!!!!
She is one of the best teachers at MCCC. It is a hard class but she helped a lot. I really enjoyed the class.
good teacher good personality. hard class period. due to school demands lots of work. just dont take sandra davis take sypniewski
Definitely one of the best teachers!! The class had a lot of papers and in front of the class speaking but I learned a lot and she is a great teacher!!
Her material and requirements are very confusing to understand and the amount of work given is atrocious. I am not one to ever complain about amounts but I will eat my own words and do so now. She is very unclear of what she wants and her rubrics are extremely confusing.
very beautiful person and instructor. professor S is available to help with all of your projects.
Took Online Class. You will love this teacher. Very Easy. Get an A without trying much. I recommend this teacher to everyone taking Management class. The tests are very simple and very basic. EASY A. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Excellent Instructor. Mrs. Sypniewski actually teaches the class, rather than just reading from the text as most teachers seem to do today. If you actually want to learn something, this is the instructor for you.

She is passionate about her job. She gives a lot of work but you learn a lot from each of those. She works hard to grade all of those papers. Excellent teacher. Recommend to anyone. Well planned out and organized class. I truly appreciate teachers like her.
Great teacher. Always willing to help with assignments and she genuinely wants to see you do good. I thought she was very clear what she wanted done and the work load wasn't too much. I looked forward to coming to this class which isn't something I can say too often. Highly recommend this teacher.
Demands a lot. You better clear your schedule if you have her but you will get everything and more out of what you put in to her classes. Great person and very professional. MUST EARN GOOD GRADE WITH HER!
She grades by your real life experience; you can ace all tests and STILL fail if you cant relate the weeks work to something management related. I've literally spent 4 hours on discussion questions with 10+ sources and only got a 70% and I have 3.8 GPA! Avoid!
Had Mrs.S in WNT09 Words can't express how thnkful I am for the opprt to take her class.I learned so much from this class&cont.to use the skills I've learned from her in both work&school.Seems like a lot of work,but benefits you in the end!She's the most beaut. person inside&out&has even helped my b/f w/ent. essays &has written rec.letters for him!
Very helpful and understanding. Pretty easy class if you put in the effort. I'd definitely recommend her class if you're going into that field of study.
No comment.
Mrs. S is a tough teacher, but only because she wants you to get something out of the class. The exams are based on quizzes and aren't difficult. There are a lot of projects and they are time consuming, but if you keep on task you'll learn a lot.
Mrs.s is by far my favorite prof. By far she cares about her students and truely wants you to learn the material. I enjoyed going to her class. I would recommend her to anyone. Her class requires work but she helps you with whatever you need.
Absoultely the worst teacher I have had yet. If you are a guy drop this class, she will give you lower scores than she gives the women for the same quality work, and will treat you with less respect. Not understanding, not flexible and absolutely rude.
Prof. Sypniewski is a great teacher! This IS NOT a blow off class though. There is alot of work that keeps you busy, but Mrs. S helps EVERYONE in steps along the way. She knows her stuff and conveys it well. She has no bias re: gender of students. She is fair and consistent. I recommend her 100%. You need an open sched for all the work.
Best teacher I've had at Macomb, she is very helpful and fair. The class is not easy by any means, it requires a lot of work. She expects a lot but is willing to help and wants you to get the most out of the class. Make sure you put a lot into it, and dont miss more than one class or your grade will be marked down. Overall she's a great professor.
I strongly recommend Mrs. Sypniewski, because she is the the best teacher you could ever wish for. The class is not so easy, but her commitment to quality and enthusiasm to make sure students excel in school, help them achieve their goal. She goes above and beyond her responsibility to prepare student become good candidates for the job market.
One of the greatest teachers you will ever have. She clearly states what you need to do to do well in her class and she is extremely helpful. She defines greatness when it comes to teaching
This instructor will go the extra mile to assist you. Extremely accommodating! She doesn't throw anything at you that isn't expressly written in the syllabus or in the book. I had problems using the myitlab and the instructor went above and beyond to assist me in making sure I was able to turn in my assignments. Top notch!
Good teacher, very helpful. Few presentations you have to do but she does a great job at making everyone feel comfortable. Large report due at the end of the semester that requires a lot of work, but she is very helpful with it. Highly recommended her.
Mrs. Sypniewski is a classy and respectable lady. She knows how to get our attention. She makes class very fun, & takes information from other sources to teach us whatever we are learning at the moment. She is very helpful when you need it. She's a responsible teacher & has many different methods of teaching her students. Mrs. Sypniewski is great!
Mrs. Sypniewski taught two of the classes I needed for my degree, and I specifically took the second class due to my experience with her in the first class. Her instructions are clear - heck, she gives written checklists! - and she's always willing to work with her students. If you can follow instructions, then I highly recommend this class!
This online class had a lot of work requirements but Mrs S. Was a great instructor. She responded to emails promptly and helped out with any issues I had. I would definitely recommend taking this professor and would take her again!
Mrs. S responded quickly to any questions. Class was decent. The only thing I have to say is that she moved up the due date for the last week because she is "leaving the country and would like to get her grades in before she left." Thought that was a little ridiculous based on the amount of homework that is required.
I had two classes with her. B2050 (C+) was one of two classes that semester with her. She is incredibly frustrating and treats you like an idiot. For ITCS-1400 (A) you taught yourself. All she did in that class was read PPT slides. She is always getting lost when we ask her questions. A real pain as a person
She will send you through pointless hoops in an attempt to make you fail. Page numbering is outside of MLA format, required binding on your final assignment, and the odd need for every paper to be printed on cotton-heavy linen paper. This professor has lost touch with what it's like to be a student. I didn't ask for an AP english course. Avoid her.
ITCS 1400 Online – Sypniewski was very helpful. Responds quickly to questions, and posts videos that help you get through the homework. Mult Choice tests are simple. Application tests are challenging but doable. Pretty good sized workload but overall class wasn’t too difficult. Overall very happy with this class and would take her again.
Mrs. Sypniewski is a very enthusiastic professor and she loves teaching. Her lectures are relevant to quizzes and tests. Her class is not too difficult but you must have the book in order to do well. I recommend her to anyone who needs to take this class. The workload consists of speeches, essays and a research assignment. Time management is KEY.
The class requires a ton of work and 100% of your attention to detail. When you do an assignment make sure you are meeting HER expectations not what you know or think to be correct. Very anal. She is very energetic and loves to teach but it reminded me too much of High school and that ship has sailed. Great person but not my style of learning.
Expects a lot from her students, big research paper, very enthusiastic. seems overwhelming but just don't procrastinate and you will do fine
Good professor with a passion for the subject
Great teacher and very helpful. Has very high expectations for every one of her students and expects you to put in your best effort. She works very hard and very professional. Excellent teacher, you get out what you put in.
I took this class online and let me say the workload is outrageous, obviously because of the shortened 8 week semester. I had to dedicate so much of my time to this class. But Mrs. S is very helpful because she responds to emails so fast it feels like a live chat. She will even send you videos to you get through steps you're stumped on.
Sypniewski's ITCS-1400 online is rough. 8-week course, two-three chapters, quizzes, tests, assignments, online trainings every week, with specific daily due dates. Professor wants references/quotes with MLA citations on DISCUSSION TOPICS (I.T.) Also, if you miss a SINGLE ASSIGNMENT you cannot get higher than a C- (per her First-Day Handout). Avoid.

Mrs. Sypniewski was one of the best professors I've had. There are some tough assignments and presentations but it just helps you grow as a student. She is very helpful and easy going. Felt comfortable in class and would definitely recommend. This class requires you to be professional and have dedication! Tests are based off quizzes, too.
WOW! This is by far the absolute best teacher I have ever had. I have never met someone so hands on, that truly enjoyed their job as much as her. I have come leaps and bounds in just a mere 16 weeks thanks to her. You most definitely have to earn this grade, but she is so approachable and the class is WELL worth it. By far the best option for BCOM!
Mrs. S is a tough grader and you definitely have to work for your grade. There are many papers and presentations, but there are clear expectations given. She is there for you and is always willing to help.
Mrs. S was great! Love the woman! Excellent teacher but a tough grader. She loves to help students succeed and like she says "I don't give grades, you earn them."
Very helpful and flexible with complex concepts...
This class is a lot of work but the Professor was amazing. She got back to you in a timely manner and was very understanding. She opens the weeks early usually on Friday or Saturday which was extremely helpful considering the work load was extreme.
Very helpful teacher. The information was straightforward. VERY HARD for online accelerated due to many assignments through myitlab. Class would be better taken on campus in my opinion. :)
Very helpful professor. She passes out rubrics before assignments are due to clarify exactly what is expected. She makes you buy special bond paper to turn your assignments in which isn't all that bad. Reading the book is important! Make sure to use her guidelines on the business plan!
I loved this class and it truly prepared me for all the other the other classes I've taken. Helpful and she gives you back what you put into it. Great teacher, tough but so worth it every step of the way. :)
She was a good professor, however, when it came time to write the research paper, she was not very clear.
Do the work, get the grade. Don't slack off with Mrs. S. Great teacher!
Prof S. is a great Professor. She's always willing to help just email her. It's a lot of work but u can get it done with time management n consistency. If you show her that you are trying she is willing to go the extra mile to assist you. My advice is to just do the work even if u don't understand and get it done early to so tht u can try again.
This professor was BY FAR the worst one I've ever taken. I had her for a 4-hour class once a week. There was an exam every week over 3 chapters and the chapters are like 40 pages long. It's ridiculous!!! Avoid her, seriously not worth my time.
If you have other classes or a job, take it online and not with her. Assigned a long research paper then yelled at us for an hour when no one was as far along as she hoped we'd be when she wanted to check our progress (we're not in middle school anymore). Get ready to give a lot of presentations with hard grading criteria and little time to prep.
I loved this class! The good: She creates a very comfortable neutral environment. Open to suggestion and comments. Everyone becomes friends and a common bond of respect. She's knows what she's talking about! The bad: Heavy workload. She's a tough grader. Use the writing studio and give perfection! All projects are practical for real business.
You really need to have no life in order to survive this class. 6 students dropped out in the first 2 weeks and I regret not doing the same. She expects everyone to be on her level and keep up with the work no mattet what. If presenting and pretending is your thing then this class is for you, if not then try to avoid it
Toughest online class I've taken. Syllabus didn't have accurate due dates which caused confusion. Short amount of time to write a major business paper. She provided examples to use but also advise that she didn't like some item in the examples; not very clear. She provided lots of feedback & constant communication. Hard to get an A but possible.
One of the worst classes I have ever taken. We went for a class of 24 to 8 by the end of the year. Test are a average of 90 questions. You teach yourself, she rarely goes over things. She is very unclear, does not respond to emails, gets upset when you get lost. Her projects clash with the amount of other assignments making it difficult to keep up.
This class wasn't the best, you have to read the chapters before the class and lecture day. This class consists of participation, homework, and being able to present in front of the class x3. This class consists of basic knowledge but also being able to REQUIRED PROJECTS on time. Such as REports, presentation, and Resume. Not as easy as it seems.
