I took her online business class, and it isn't very hard. But it is extremely long and frustrating. There is a lot of busy work, and you don't learn anything from the class. For the tests all you do is take it once answering whatever answers you want, then copy and paste the answer key to Word and take the test again.

Since I took it online I only saw her one time but she was so sweet! Her instructions online are clear and you will pass if you do your work . You get two spiral textbooks and then make sure to fill in every blank and do the business letters and you'll pass no problem. Super easy just don't fall too far behind.

I would like to petition my grade, I don't think I deserved an A... just kidding :) Thanks to Doc for a very inspirational, full of thought semester and I am definitely walking with a new point of view after this class. Doc is amazing.

Amazing professor. Took her online. Must buy workbooks, because that's where your grade comes from. There is A LOT of work to do. Workbook questions, online assignments, & online quizzes. All three things due every week. Fairly easy, just time consuming. Overall good class. Would recommend taking her.

She is a great professor. The class has a lot of assignments, but if you do them and pay attention to instructions it is an easy A. She is motivational and encouraging. She answers email every day. Material and assignments are explained simply and clearly. Down sides- she shows no mercy if you miss deadlines or are too lazy to read instructions.

The amount of emails and changes to things seems a little crazy at first, but once you get the swing of the class it goes quickly and easily. She is very nice, helpful and responsive and although it's a lot of work it's laid out in a way that makes it easy to get a good grade. I would recommend her as a teacher.

Sends weekly email reminde and announcements so you follow syllabus and do not get behind. Sends class updates so you know how you are doing compared to others anonymous. We did practical assignments that helped me at work. Dr. Simpson has seriously been one of my top professors not only in content of the class, but also with communications. A+++

I really enjoyed taking this bit online. The class wasn't very difficult if you kept up with the pace of the schedule. If you fall behind, you may be dropped, but you will receive updates via Doc's email. She an awesome professor and I recommend taking her for business comms 119.

This is the best online website I ever used. Everything is right there and I knew when it was due and exactly what the assignments were. I applied a lot to what I do at work. If I had a question, she never took more than 24 hours to answer it. I followed directions and it was easy to get an A. I wish she taught more classes.

Most problems are probably b/c of switch from BB to Canvas this term. Some instructions are outdated & conflict w/ what's available. Seems curt in messages. Teach yourself by reading/videos. Few deadlines & can work at your own pace. Saturday audit of workbook at end of semester is inconvenient but has mail-in option. Good for independent learners.

Lots of homework

Really approachable and caring professor. Interesting and practical class to prepare you for the working world. After finishing, you'll have a resume and cover letter that's ready for you to give to employers. Workbook was good but may be a bit tedious and overkill. Learned a lot that broadened my perspective to doing business with others

Dr. Simpson is such a sweet professor, she was very responsive via canvas messenger and would send out daily reminders on upcoming due dates and expectations. There are a few projects, and a fill in paper textbook that is needed, but everything is very straight forward.
