There is no reason for not getting an A in her BIS 221 class. She gives you all the test questions before hand and she probably cancelled class 5 or 6 times, and if that's what you want then take her in the morning, before noon.

Easy Class! Not bad to look at either. First part of semester you go through this tiny book on ERP and crap, then the last half you do this marketplace simulation where you compete against other groups in class. Even if you do the worst out of everyone, you still get an A because your grade isn't from your performance. Take her!

With honestly I recommend not taking this teacher. The class and material is not hard, but basically you might as well teach yourself. She is a great speaker, but a bad teacher. She solicits herself to her students for personal gain and favors students over others. Very unclear with directions and contradicts herself many times. Save your money.

Dana is awful. Always late for class (which is pointless), does not care about the material and plays favorites.

She makes you buy a packet and tells you to follow directions step by step. She doesn't explain certain info that she expects you to know, and expects you to learn everything on your own. I don't know why this isn't just an online course. Her role in the classroom is a babysitter.

Essentially, McCann is a great babysitter. She's knowledgable about SAP, but doesn't provide much guidance as to how to learn it. What's more frustrating is that the final has literally nothing to do with SAP. The final is about business processes, and doesn't so much as mention SAP. There's no good prof for this class, so prepare to suck it up.
