It's a good class overall. She gives you weekly assignments that take what seems like forever to do, but collectively they are worth more than the exams. The exams are easy if you study, but one time she did test us on 9 chapters before. The exam does have a section of easy questions from the text which is like your extra credit.

She makes this class harder than it needs to be. The first few weeks of class you're in a classroom and not on computers. This is the hardest part of the course because she gives a written test everyone does badly on and her quizzes are hard to get a handle on at first. Takes the rest of the semester to recover your grade from that.

Monk is kind of a hardo but this class was not difficult at all.

Prof Monk was always very excited about the material and gave extra credit on all assignments you submit as classwork, so as long as you show up you'll be fine. After taking 160, most of this material is review and she let us bring a formula sheet to exams if we needed. The exams were always identical to the practice exams. Definitely an easy A

She is unclear in what we are expected to do. She gives no examples and does a very poor job at explaining things. I strongly suggest any other teacher besides this one for misy261.

By far my fav professor at UD. 5 projects that build on each other, 4 exams, a final, and extra credit. No HW from textbook. First exam is the hardest but she lets you retake the exact one at end of semester for full credit. Sometimes gives unclear instructions but during office hours she will pretty much do the projects for you.

Monk is ok. She is kind of a hardo but if you ask questions and participate she will like you. Projects throughout the semester are rough, I always thought I failed but got a 100% on pretty much all of them (always did them the day before). Exams are ok, if you go to class you will do fine. Don't really need to study. Gives a 20 pt extra credit.

Professor Monk did a lot of application work to make sure you knew what you were doing, and the exams were the same format. We worked in break out rooms but she always came to make sure we understood. She was also helpful during office hours. Sometimes there were things on the exam that were a little difficult but overall the exams weren't bad.

Professor Monk is an amazing professor. She works hard to make sure you are getting the material and provides tons of examples and solutions for when you are struggling. Her TA could use some work this semester and there seems to be some miscommunication between the two of them. But otherwise this class is an easy A if you follow along in class

You work in a group the whole semester, which can sound annoying but you make friends and help each other throughout the semester. There are 10 hw assignments, 2 exams, and a final project. At first it's a bit confusing to see how the class operates and sometimes you feel lost but after a few weeks you're gonna be fine. Very interesting topics!

Easy class but be prepared to teach yourself most of it. She seems to get aggravated when you need help or dont understand something. You rely more on your group than her if u dont understand something so hopefully the group u get put in is good. She doesnt round grades either

This class's lectures were recorded by another professor, but Professor Monk held Zoom meetings to discuss the material, the previous homework, and give tips on the upcoming homework. Responds to emails quickly and gives clear feedback on assignments. Weekly assignments can be done in groups or individually and there is a group presentation.

5 homework assignments, 5 quizzes (content is what she goes over in 2 mins during that class period, then quiz at end), 2 exams, and a final group project. She is the type of person to get mad at you when she doesn't teach you the material. Make friends in the class quickly

The professor gives good lectures and the class is pretty chill so I would definitely recommend it to anyone. She did give some tough quizzes mainly because it was on content we learned in the same class period. She is a very lenient grader when it comes to homework and quizzes. The exams were not too bad either.

Had Dr. Monk for the capstone. She was extremely nice and had great feedback for us on how to improve our project. Kept us very motivated and allowed our team to show out own creativity. She served as a great mentor.

Professor Monk is great. Class consists of online quizzes, half semester in class project, and half semester other project which is the same as the in class project but different data. You can very easily work ahead and pretty much finish the class a month early. Configuring in SAP can be scary but instructions are very clear. Highly recommend.

Professor Monk wasn't too bad and the class was relatively easy if you pay attention. 5 homeworks, 5 quizzes, 2 exams, and a final project. At times it seemed like she was confused about the stuff she was teaching us and she wasn't in synch with her TA when it came to grading. She also isn't the best at answering questions but means well and tries.

She's fine. Monk has a more hands-off approach to teaching, which I'm not a big fan of, but you should be able to learn the material by going to class and doing the homework. The beginning of the course can get confusing with logical data modeling, but actually writing SQL is much easier. Encourages using AI to save time on final project as well.

This class is absurd. It isn't even hard but the work takes hours on end and you learn nothing. She does not do a thing. She knows nothing about the system and never knows how to help and is unclear. The directions are 5 years out of date and so unclear you constantly need to just guess or figure it out. Just save yourself the trouble and time

This class isn't that hard, and the grading is pretty light on homework and quizzes. There is also a group project. However, Monk isn't always very helpful when you need clarification, She doesn't answer questions clearly and doesn't seem to have a deep knowledge of the subject.

She's okay. Sometimes it seems like she's also confused about the material we are learning. Encourages AI which cuts down the time on assignments. However, that causes students to not actually learn the material. She's very nice though.
