Thanks to her she made learning comuputers fun, and not boring. she did give a lot of homework, but it was helpful. She uses a lot of real-life examples that made it easy for me to understand. Must keep her at this school
Very upbeat professional miss. She always appeared happy to be teaching. Strict on giving homework assignment and create actvities for class to relate real world. At first I was mad at all the work requirements, but now I'm gladI endured
I was expecting more. She was an alright instructor.
This proffesor is awesome! Everything is simple and straight to the point. For those that have experience w/ computers it will be a breeze. If you have not had experience w/ computers, she moves fast but will take the time to assist if needed. Will learn a lot in her class.
Where have this Instructor been hiding? She is one of the top professors I've ever met. She believes in HOMEWORK AND INCLASS ASSIGNMENTS - but she is there to guide you step by step. Impossible not to like!Hope she stays
Very easy and funny! She's a great teacher, would recommend her to anyone.
Awesome Smart Organized - she breaks down the textbook material like no other teacher. I learned so much about computers. She needs to be teaching more classes. She is a GEM!
I like her, its just that she moves fast, but she will assist if you need her too. My fave part of her class is the final project on pwerpoint!. Shes cool!!
My first positive experience with an instructor here at this school. The first day of class was amazing and I feel she had the same motivation throughout the entire semester. I believe students not paying attention or lack of note taking made some days feel long. She did display a hugh amount of patience. Very thorough & helpful. A+ HTML TEACH
AWESOME MOTIVATED HELPFUL & Organized Learning how to create Web pages was a great experience - made learning enjoyable
I appreciate her being approachable and straight to the point. She makes it very clear she is here to do her job and help you along the way. Sometimes I felt like I was in an english math and comp. class at the same time. She always have a story to tell or make you think outside the box. Recommend this lady for real Way cool together
Like teachers style. I didn't care for the students in my class - no matter how many times she told them to take notes - they did not and would always ask her to repeat things we already went over Her examples are great.
It is spring break and I am happy. I'm happy because the lady had me working hard this semester. I guess that is good - I learned so many things in this class I thought this was three classes rolled in one. She had us doing things we should have already known before taking this class. The professor seems to care about teaching others. Keep her!
This lady knows what she is doing. I am amazed at the knowledge she has, and she is willing to share it. She has taught me a lot. She teaches so much in one session, that if you miss it, you have missed a lot of information. She stays on point. I am looking for other classes with her. I love her style of imparting knowledge!
Well, I started to drop this course because I thought she was tough and very strict on homework & policies. Overall I'm glad I hung in there, because I learned how to do things with the computer that was not taught to me in 110. She provide other examples to help understand the tough textbook. Many questions thrown at her - she always extend help
What can I say first? I like her professional style of dealing with the students. Too much homework for a summer class. She steps out and will give you the industry related view of the course topics. Thought I knew a lot - she taught me something new each time. She is strict but I guess she makes it fun and realistic. Best I've seen in a while
Saw a classmate writing a rate for the professor so I will take a shot at it. Was mad at all the work we had to do for this being a summer class. After talking to my friend he did make me see how she was preparing us for how computers change. I realized that if I had listened more and came to class more it would have been better. She is smart
BEST PROFESSOR EVER! Seems strict but if you pay attention you will learn many things. Her attitude is great
Beginning of course and I learned so much! I am super excited she was recommended to me by 5 other students and someone from staff. I was scared but now I'm ready to reach my goals. I am going to earn my degree. Her class is fun, exciting, & very engaging. She cares about her students. She rocks!!!
Way super smart. Very clear lectures. Book outdated. Computers are horrible but she always seem to make light of it. Hope to have her for all of my computer courses. Very approachable and down-to-earth!!
She's one of my Best Professor In CIS. that's why I took her 4 classes CIS 112, 203, 207 ,210 GOT A B A A.
She's a great Professor I had her twice.
Don't know why people are grading her 4 AND 5 on level of difficulty! trust me she is easy, you just have to follow her instructions and the book.
So happy someone recommended her as an instructor. Homework was a bit much at first, but not so bad as we got into the swing of class. She is amazing. This instructor encouraged me to keep pushing even after I submitted 1/2 my assignments wrong. She took time at the end of lecture to help anyone who needed help. I hope to have her for all CIS
Consistent & professional. I like her style. Very stern on not using cell phone in class. She gives you real life scenarios and work related stories. I really like her. Hope to have her for my other courses
GREAT PROFESSOR! You can get help when needed and willing to go over missed assignments. Study hard and read often and you're be fine with completing all assignments on time. Want the best out of you so you can accomplish your goal's in life. Just come prepared and your be all right. The best instructor ever! My final exam was great.
Professor Donna Armes is very serious about you learning her courses. If you come to play you're in the wrong class but willing to learn you're in the right class. I took visual basic earlier this year and did fine in completing the course. I work hard for it but it was worth it. She gives you time to catch with others in class. Great Professor!
This Professor is one of the best instructor at wcccd. You may remember me as visual basic fall of 2016 final exam mistake. Its wasn't my fault.
Wow! always an amazing class. I am so happy to have found this Instructor. She is the best and she actually cares about her students succeeding. Sometimes she is very strict on certain things - but I understand. A+ A+ teacher quality
AWESOME and fun! She is very professional. Teaching style is very understandable. If you looking for quality in an instructor her - choose her. I wish she was teaching more course.
Yes! I am excited about college again. I learned so much. She is different because she does not read from the textbook. She gives handouts and really provides us great examples. Thanks Prof. Armes-T
Easy teach. Literally can pass the class by copy and pasting. Do all work and you will pass however I felt as if she didn't teach much but still a good teacher.
Very helpful instructor, I like the fact that she holds open lab after lecture to help you with any homework questions that you may have. I like the in class assignments that she gave us. She did provide many examples. As long as you take notes and follow her lectures you should do good. Glad her powerpoints were not dull she add real life ex.
Taking this for the summer with a friend... was hard at first but I think she is willing to always help. She is one of the only instructors to seem to spend time after her lectur walking around to see if we need help. classmates seem to make the class difficult because they can't remember easy things and ask same questions... Teacher is smart
Like her style. She uses Powerpoints, handouts, videos - pretty helpful professor. Good at explaining textbook examples. I enjoyed. She will make you think about why you are writing program. She is always willing to help
Thank you for a good class professor. Didn't like textbook too much information for summer. I did like you spending time with the students helping us after lecture. I thought the every class session programming assignments were too much. But i guess I needed the practice. Pretty awesome professor
Very Good Teacher. read the book or search online easy work. she grades the work not the person. if you are not SUPPER start at cheating in class then DON"T she'll catch you!
So Glad I had her. She is way helpful. Loved creating the webpage. I appreciate her patience. CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE HER NEXT SEMESTER. Thank you for your help all of the time
Good class. She always have a story to tell about the workforce. Sometimes lectures are way too long - but at least she cares. She always had lab to allow us to ask her homework questions. Hope to take her again. Helped me learn how to search jobs online
Last day yeah! I appreciate her taking time to explain things. Class was good. She is STRICT and follow policy. She is understanding if you try your best. Thanks for a good semester
This was a good class to get started with college. Teacher is always on time. I had a great time in class andd was surprised how much she taught us. She can talk your ears off - but oh well I guess it is worth it. Wish she taught the classes I need. She cares I guess. lol more than others
CIS 110 Was a hard but good class. I thank prof. A. for helping me even though I was late to class. She did care about teaching us. Be ready for some examples with her lectures, but i guess good work examples. She is cool
This was a good class. Book is needed for sure. Some days you really like her and some days you may not. Thats because she makes you read the book. you can't pass without reading. I do like the way she teach I do want to take her again. Do the work and you will be ok
great professor,
She is really amazing. If you need any CIS class, I recommend that take with her. I took CIS 207 & 203 with her and I got A. Just do your home work on time. Great instructor. No doubt take her.
i love her she is very good
CIS 110 She is very good. I was nervous around her because she is very strict -but she was helpful. be honest and you will do good. Thanks professor
excelent professor. I took her CIS 110, CIS 203, CIS 207.. All of it i got A.
i took CIS 110 i got A ,she very helpful and great
CIS 110 this is a good class. She was very helpful in helping me get caught up on my homework - she's cool - just do your homework
This class is easy as it can be. Took this class for 110. Everything is straight forward. Literally. Highly recommended.
CIS 207 was a good class - she was approachable and helpful - glad she offered open lab after lecture - I was able to received help from her or ask questions about things I did not understand - glad to have meet her. I could have gotten a higher grade but i did not submit some of my work
cis 110 I enjoyed the class - she is kind - just long lectures - homework is a must. I appreciate her helping
I am grateful for her patience and willing to help. I struggled but she was very helpful. Thank you for taking time to help everyone who had a hard time. Great lady
Strict teacher but I did learn. consider her to be very helpful. Textbook is definitely needed in order to pass and do work. I worked long hours so it was hard to keep up. She is cool as far as being a teach
I just wanted to say thank you dr. thomas. I appreciate you helping me understand how to create my programs. This was hard for me. You were kind to let me come to your class even though I am online. I feel so much better now getting caught up. I hope to take another one of your class. Caring Teacher I appreciate you
TWO MORE WEEKS FOR THE COURSE - YEA ME! she was always polite and helpful. She follow the syllabus to a t and rules - she showed respecct and care for all students seems to be happy to be a teacher. I would recommend. Beware - She gives so many examples - be ready for long stories - but good
Thank you Professor for helping me get my assignments submitted. She is very caring about you learning. She took time on Collaborate to help me understand what I missed. She put extra effort in lectures. a lot of helping with assignments.
Thank you for a great semester. You were very helpful
Thank you Dr. for helping me get caught up and understand the CIS 209 programming material. This lady has been a blessing. I was having issues and could not submit work on time. she understand, cared and helped. Thank you. I hope to have you in all CIS course
Amazing Prof. She is willing to explain the subject multiple times if needed, she is very respectful, willing to help all the time never had any attitude with her. Though she is strict when it comes to using your phone in class; she wants you to pay full attention during lectures. However she is very nice and sweet and I would recommend her as prof
By far the laziest professor I ever had, missed 8 classes on a once a week course. Take her if you want to look up all the answers every week on Quizlet, not if you want to know how to program. Lectures were cut and pasted Pearson garbage. Easy to get an A but I don't consider myself as having any practical knowledge of programming
Witty, funny, smart, caring, stories for days. This Dr. Armes-Thomas is one of the most caring professors I've ever met. She is fair, sometimes long winded - but you are sure to get industry related topics that helps understand the textbook HOPE TO HAVE HER FOR ALL CLASSES
I fell behind, and she did take time after class or even answered emails to help me get assignments submitted. I asked her to help me. Thanks for your help.
Woohoo last day of class today. good class, i took her for CIS 110 and CIS 209 at the same time - Prayers to her and her family for getting sick - she still took time to help me understand. We created webpages, learned about major computer functions and I even learned microsoft access which was gigantic hard to learn.
took this class with my friends and happy I was able to finish. I thank instructor Ms.Donna for helping me prepare for interview. I needed this job & asked Ms.Donna to help me with remembering what she taught us with excel app. I didnt' think I would get the job.I requested help & she helped during break and sent helpful tips to me email. thanks!
Too much info to take in all at once. Did not like 12 weeks of too much thrown at me She did offer to help but I just could not get it. Teacher did spend time helping students and I just could not get it working to many hours and listening to long lectures on fridays was hard
Classrom COMPUTERS ARE SLOW and some are NOT WORKING. My online cengage did not work but Professor Arms worked it out and called cengage and allowed me to turn in work late. the beginning of class was rough with registration telling me wrong information about book befor class started. Ms. Armes is caring though
Dr. T. helped me a great deal. I missed the first few weeks of class she did help me get caught up - I was looking for a job and she helped me understand how to use USAJobs website - it was hard to understand. But happy to have completed and did update my resume with tips from her. I've never had a instructor help me like this THANKS AGAIN
Thank you for giving great examples and encouraging me and the class. I do appreciate you taking time to help
i had a few challenges this semester and aft first i thought she was mean. I was wrong /the school did not update the computer until two months after course started Ms Donna did great keeping us on track, helping us understand the information and she was extremely helpful. Sorry I was unpleasant at first I wnt you to know I appreciate you
Very helpful and caring. About 2/3 task a week to complete. I really appreciated Ms. Armes! I admit I haven't had the best experience communicating with any of my professors last semester. Ms. Armes was very helpful and understanding with any issues I did have with assignments. I had several issues with blackboard but she didn't penalize me!
I am taking Dr. Thomas for CIS 120 and CIS 110 - she is consistent and solid on helping, giving examples, and giving you a chance if you do the work. Too strict but I understand because so many students do not read and ask the same question over and over or do not pay attention. I do appreciate her
First, thank you Dr. Thomas, it was great meeting you - after I was scared to take your class - because I heard you require your students to be held accountable and was strict. Well, 15 weeks later I am glad I took the leap of faith. YOUR ENERGY IN THE CLASSROOM IS TOP RATED AND engaging every week. Thanks for a safe class keeping an orderly class
I like how she taught the class and information was provided.
Professor Donna Armes is one of the toughest instructors I've had at Wayne County Community College for CIS 207 (Java). She is extremely strict when it comes to grading—every little mistake is counted against you. Instead of deducting a few points for minor errors, she will give a 0/50 without hesitation. Her in-class assignments are rushed.
I took this class with family member - I was mad at first - now I understand - I aske Dr. Donna to help me with resume for internship - she helped me at the end of class and even helped me create example to talk about at interview
OMG we had an amazing time - the review game was so much fun and will help us study for exam! dr. donna's engagement has been so fun. I created a WEb page, spreadhseet, word document, learned how to make folder, whoa! she showed us a lot - computers are horrible and classmates don't listen - but she organize and gets order of class
She recommended is willing to help you get caught up -I struggled to come to class on time - I am taking course with my brother and she was hard and really strict. willing to take time after lect and serious about in class hands on - she always helo us class people if they need help. We create a webpage, Linkedin computer things - two thumbs up!
Thank you professor for allow me to come to your Wednesday class and get caught up on my Tuesday night class. I thought you were real strict at first but now I see you will help THANK YOU THANK YOU - I try my best and you helped me feel better Have a good break
Thank you professor Armes. Course was great & I learned many things to help me on the job & my personal tax business runs smoother after you gave those helpful tips. Sorry for sneaking and using my phone a couple of times. Hope to have another class in the fall.Thanks for your understanding. Note: computers are horrible but you made the best of it
As you said Happy end of semester -thanks for everything. Although, I think you are real strict in class - I did look forward to learning each week - I would rather be allowed to use my own laptop but now I understand - students were cheating - so I am glad you were consistent and did not allow cheating - I didn't want to tell on students -
She's very enthusiastic when she's lecturing and seems like she cares about the class and teaching the subject.
