you can harldy understand a thing she says she makes class boring.. she only reads from the power points. the exams are hard
I tried taking this class online and she actually called my house and told my parents I wasn't doing well in the class, that I need to catch up, etc. etc. That should be illegal! It is no one's business!
Good teacher, very helpful. However, communication is a problem. Also, professor changes deadlines all the time. Have to check webct everyday. If you take her, take advantage of extra credit.
The teacher is good. Really nice..Very helpful..Do the work and you will get an A in her class...She does change the dead line but just to help the students out...whoever take here she an easy A...good luck next semester
She is a great professor! She is very helpful and her instructions are always clear. Do your work and you will do just fine.
Great teacher!!!! She answers all her e-mails and she is very helpfull if you don't understand the material...also, she is very fair on grading the group project....don't miss a discussion posting and a class..and that would be your A...
Great professor. Not the easiest A in the world, but none-the-less an easy A. Gives lots of extra credit so if you fall behind or miss a couple classes u can catch up. Very considerate of working student.
Very nice, attendance is factored into participation grade, no book use, all notes on power point, regular work
Quick to respond to questions, grading scale based off of A-, C- etc. Took class online & there is 5 discussions worth 25%, 2 assignments worth 25%, midterm is 25% and of course final is 25%. u need to study for the midterm and final but the assignments help a little on this...do not slack or u will lose
Took this class online. EASY A. She gives a lot of extra credit and is willing to help. She's quick to respond to emails and is very understanding. Take this course online and if you do the work, you are guaranteed an A.
Took this class in the summer. You have to attend every single class, you can't leave not even one minute early b/c she gives a quiz the last 15 min. of class, every class. You have to work in groups. On the other hand, she is nice and there is no midterm or final. Just weekly quizes, assignments and discussions.
Took this class in Summer B. You have to attend every single class because there is a quiz and there are no makeups. You have to work in groups so get the smart ones to answer the discussions. We did not use the book and only have to study the slide during class time. The questions on the quiz is not all that easy, but an easy A.
You can stell she really cares about what she does and teaching. The only problem is, that the students are not too prepared for the tests; however she works hard to let you the student knows what's going on. She's pretty good.
Great professor! She is willing to help the students every time is needed. Take advantage of the extra credits, and try not to miss any class. If you put a little effort, you will get an A!
She is very helpful in class. Do not miss there are group assignments given in every lecture. 3 exams based on the text, 3 other exams 1 for word, 1 for ppt and 1 for excel which are worth 10% of the grade.
Highly recommended! Not a hard a class, very helpful, and you can get an a with not that much work
Agree with all of the previous posts! If you need to take this class, take it with Simpson!
Teacher is helpful, but material is hard. Teacher gives great exam reviews, you should do fine on the exams if you attempt the quizzes as many times as possible and remember the questions/answers.
She is best. This class is not easy class and you do have to study, but Prof. Simpson makes your studying easier by providing templates to use to calculate the problems. Also gives you alot of extra credit. This class is hard and Prof like Ms.Simpson is what we need to pass the class. Do not take it w/ Prof. James Key/Larry Smith.
Class consists of 3 Lecture Exams (online in class), 3 Microsoft Office Exams (online in class), 3 Assignments (in class), and 3 Extra Credits (in class). Nowadays, no teacher gives extra credi. Huge blessing if you need extra points! Overall, easy class. Highly recommended! You must buy a myITlab online code where you can also buy the online book!
Hard material but prof.Simpson goes the extra mile to explain it and provide excel templates. I took the class online over the summer. 2 exams quizes and assigment. definitly recommend her class.
Took this fully online. I hardly used the books. Everything was basically in the Powerpoints. MAKE SURE YOU USE THE EXCEL TEMPLATES!!! THEY MAKE THE CLASS MUCH MUCH EASIER!!! She was very interactive and even had weekly online chats. She's awesome. Lots of extra credit too.
Professor Simpson is simply one of the best professor at FIU. The material is not easy at all, but she makes it easy. The Excel templates are very helpful/important to solve the problems. She gives extra credit which helps a lot to boost the grade. In conclusion, you will end up learning statistics in such an easy way. KUDOS for professor Simpson!
Great Professor! Ton of extra credit. Use the templates they make the exams much easier.
Class is REALLY easy. Take advantage of the extra credits, you won't regret it. Be very careful with the assignments and make sure you do exactly what she's asking for. I hardly studied for the class and managed to get an A! Good luck and take Prof. Simpson. She's super cool and definitely cares about her students progress.Good luck!
Class is really easy. Take this class for an easy a. There is so much extra credit that it is almost impossible not to get an a. She is a bit hard to understand because her english isn't perfect. The book test is probably the hardest part of the class and if you go over the power points that she gives you should be fine.
She is very confusing. She says something and do something ales.
Overall, this professor was boring. Assignments were easy, but mostly just busy work. Professor isn't helpful if you have questions.
If you miss one day you are screwed!!! So, if you are planning on being absent at all DO NOT take her. She is difficult to schedule make-ups with and sometimes unwilling to help. I thought her grading was also VERY unfair.
Bring a pillow cause you're going to sleep in her class. Assnmt's are easy, exams are ok. Barely needed textbook, waste of money. If you do extra credit you'll pass exams!Good luck
Take her, I hate Math I mean hate it, but for the first time in a long time there was a teacher out there that I could really understand. I took her class online and passed she has ON CAMPUS EXAMS. She has 2 exams the midterm and final each is 35 pt of your grade. If you have any question on something you don?t understand she will help you learn.
Online: Awesome teacher. She is very nice and helpful on understanding the material. Read her PPT and use the Excels - they help alot during testing. Extra Credit. Due all quizzes - drops lowest one. Did study sessions before Mid and Final - very helpful. =)
This is my third year in University and I have to admit, I haven't meet such an awesome Professor as Prof. Simpson! She is so good that this is my first time writing a commend for a professor in this page. Do all the work she assigns, go to the test reviews and if you have any questions just ask her, she is always there for her students.
Online-QMB3200 amazing professor. Patience, lots of examples, extra credit, great feedback and most importantly answers emails almost immediately. Made online class a breeze.
Great teacher. She is always willing to help you. The class is no too hard. Everything depends on you and how you do on the homeworks.
AWESOME professor. The material can be very difficult, but with her she makes it easy to understand. Took her online, and got an A. Plus, she gives extra credit, which is super helpful! Definitely recommend her to everyone needing to take the class!!!!
EXCELLENT PROFESSOR! Very helpful and knowledgeable about the topics discussed in class. The tests are easy if you study for them and you should not have any trouble in the class. I highly recommend her!
Great Professor!!!Took her QMB3200 class online and she's very helpful.
I am glad FIU has professors like Gladys Simpson. Although the material is very challenging, she does whatever it takes to help out each and every individual student. If you have to take QMB 3200 take it with her. Also, do take advantage of the extra credit, it definitely helps.
Professor Simpson is the most helpful teacher I have ever had at FIU. It is very encouraging as a student to have a teacher that genuinely wants to see you succeed. The material is relatively difficult to understand, but Professor Simpson goes above and beyond to help her students comprehend the material. Definitely take her!
Professor Simpson is one of my favorite professors of my university career to date. She makes the material interesting, is concerned with how students are doing and is very clear about what she expects. P.S. She ACTUALLY gets to know her students, so she was kind enough to help me with letters of recommendation.
You have to try hard to fail this class. This is one of the easiest classes I've taken at FIU, she gives so much extra credit, it can raise you a whole letter grade!
She is an amazing professor! She explains very well and also give us easy exercises that we have to do during the class and very manageable tests. I get an A she is very nice! Take her you will not regret it!
She's a sweet heart and an amazing professor. The class is easy and you must be really lazy if you can't pass this class.
The class is hard, but she keep it fun, you actually learn from her. She would do whatever she can to help understand the material. The excel templates are really helpful. Take qmb whit her you will not regret it.
Please DO take with her, you will not regret it! The topic of course is not easy, but she is very helpful. Gives templates and if you study them you should be fine. By far, I would say best professor to take qmb with at FIU. I took her online and she was extremely helpful and always replied on time!Excellent professor
TAKE HER!! shes a great teacher and just follow her instructions and you`ll get an A!
Extremely helpful online professor. Not my favorite subject to say the least, and the material can be challenging, however, she responds quickly to emails and goes out of her way to help her students. There are two in class exams that are very similar to the quizzes and review tests.
what a nice professor! She is really interested in her students learning the subject and her lectures are engaging. Everyone should take her, just to get the feel of what a good professor is like.
This class is so ridiculously easy and she makes it impossible to get a bad grade. Great professor! Very helpful and attendance isn't mandatory. I literally only showed up for exams and got an A
Do yourself a favor and take her class. She is so helpful and truly cares for her students. I took her online class and passed with an A. She has online chat sessions that are helpful. Do read the book and do the work and ask questions. Excel is used a lot but she makes it so easy to use it and understand it. I recommend her 1000%.
Professor Simpson is really great! She wants her students to succeed and do well and she provides all the tools you need to get an A in her class.
She's the best online professor I've had so far, and I've taken a lot of online classes. The makes the class really easy (for business stats) and if you practice it's easy to get A on her exams. Her TA is very helpful as well. There is an interim assignment but it's easy too. Take her, take her!!
This prof. is not helpful at all. I recommend taking the class online because she is very confusing. When asked for a question she tries to explaing so much it confuses you even more. The TA is the one that helps better. When concern about the grades she says not to worry about. NOT HELPFUL!!!! if you do take her study on your own!
Great professor! Only class tat you get to use Excel and dont have to compute by hand. Review sessions all the time. Open note/book exams. No reason you should fail. Do not even have to buy book.
I believe she is a great professor take her. She is helpful and fair. Be willing to ask question and participate. there is no reason not to pass with an A/B
She is super helpful and knowledgable. Gives excel templates to use (prefilled)with plenty of chances to pass the quizzes and exams (which include exactly what she teaches). I got an A because she explains it clear plus responds with helpful tips by emails to those who want it. I recommend her highly!
All HW problems can be used with her excel worksheets even on the finals. We had group works that were easy. Not a lot of formulas you have to remember compared to L. Smith class. However when you don't understand she can be very confusing and overloading in giving info. She tends sometimes tends to work on the same problem for a while.
Worse professor ever, she doesnt know how to explain the content of the class. BARELY understand her !! heavy accent, she goes over simple stuff but when it comes to take the exam, she uses different methods DO NOT TAKE HER if you wanna pass!
Don't ever take this professor. You have to read a book and then you have to do a quiz about the book. she only gives you ten minutes to do que quiz. You wil have another quizzez from que book but you dont have enough time for the las 3 quizzez. She does not care that you dont have enough time, so dont ever talk to her.
Dont take her. She does not give enough time to do the examand quizes. You have to read a book and then take an exam. She only gives you 10 minutes and does not care that is not enough time. DON'T TAKE HER.
Her exams/quizzes are difficult. Nothing like the sample questions she gives out. I had a very difficult time in this class and I'm usually good at math.
very passionate professor, knows what she is talking about. as long as you go to class she pretty much gives you the answers to the quizes and does the HW with you. extremely helpful and understanding. never had to use the textbook once, just pay attention in class and you should do fine.
I think she's a great and very helpful professor, if you have any question, she will contact you very quickly. I highly recommend her class, you don't need the book for this course but a lap every single class if you don't want to get lost. She lets you have notes on the final test.
GOOD CLASS
I don't know how anyone could write anything bad about this professor. Whoever did was lazy. The book isn't necessary. Gives everything you need to pass. Yes, the quizzes for the book are only 10 minutes, but they consist of only 8 questions so you are more than fine. TAKE HER! Sweet professor who cares about her students.
Take this class with Prof. Simpson! She genuinely cares about each of her students. If possible take it in BBC. The class size is much smaller and it's easier to have one on one time with her during class. She is great! Highly recommended.
She does her best to make sure every student understands and can pass the class. She is really dedicated to her work.
Excellent professor, cares about her students, assistance is not mandatory, review with you all the homework so you can do it good, and homework is the same as quizzes. Enough time for homework and quizzes. Gives extra credit. EXCELLENT TEACHER.
Excellent Professor, I have taken two classes with her QMB and Operation Management and I recommend her. She is very helpful and she is always available for her students
Great Professor! This us my second course with her (I took QMB3300). If you don't pass her class it's because YOU didn't put in the work. She makes herself accessible and truly cares for her students. The 10 minute quizzes are from a supplementary book, which you have an entire week to read and that is more than ample time to answer 8 questions.
This class is very hands on. Although attendance isn't mandatory, I would attend as she shows you how to work through the assignments. More exposure to Excel than in any of my previous courses and I found it very beneficial!
Anyone that complains about this course is basically not doing anything. The readings are not hard and she spoon feeds you for the hw and quizzes. She is extremely helpful and responds quickly to emails. The quizzes that are 10 mins can be done in less than 5 mins if you actually read go to class. Don’t buy the textbook, it’s way too expensive.
The professor is good. She is helpful and cares about her students. However, she is not soft. She has a plan and follows through with it. You can see it at the time limit for the Goal quizzes. If you work hard and group up with people the chance is high that you will be successful!
If you are good in math, then I would highly recommend taking this class online with professor Simpson. She has it organized in such a way that the book is not needed at all. Her powerpoints cover everything you need for quizzes and tests. It isn't pancake easy for an A, but I found it fair and also beneficial for its use of Excel.
Great professor! Genuinely interested in helping students pass. Do not need the book. Class consists of: 1HW and 1Quiz per Module, 1 Assignment, a Midterm and a Final. Professor provides excel spreadsheets with formulas to help you solve the problems. Power points helpful and the professor answers all your doubts via discussion board. Take her!
She explains the reasoning and application of the material; she is very helpful and responds quickly. The class is structured in such a way that it makes it easy to understand especially for those who are not great at STATS. If you study, do the homeworks and quizzes you'll do great! Online course with proctored Mid and Final exams :).
Course material is fairly easy but requires adequate time to study. The professor was often disorganized, hard to understand but this was a fairly easy class overall. Would recommend taking with her, you just need the time to do it and learn the material.
Amazing, MUST take! She does weekly hws with you in class.Weekly quizzes are almost same as hws.6 EASY extra credit work.If you can do hw,you'll pass final! Don't buy book,but must buy access code for online hws and quizzes. Can find The Goal pdf online. Must read Goal book and go to class for participation grade. Goal quizzes easy if you read it.
Excellent Professor. I never though an online class could be this good. Very clear, helpful and kind Professor. Classes are recorded so you can review them as many times. You have to practice but definitively will learn a lot of statistics and excel . I really recommend her class. I hope all online classes were this interactive.
Get ready to read the novel. Do not miss any quizz or homework. She gives a lot of extra credit but repare for the fina examl. Although shehas good rating, she is not soft at all.
Professor Simpson is a great professor. She facilitates that tools necessary for her students to succeed. I really enjoyed her class and her excel templates were live savers. There is HW and then the following is a quiz. She actually takes her time to explain via Adobe Connect and the discussion board
i love prof. Simpson, one of the best teachers i have ever had at FIU. she is very helpful. all you have to do is watch the video's she posts and study. easy A.
Does not require text book. Many extra credit opportunities if you do your work. Make sure to attend class. she can be disorganized in her lectures, classwork every other week, HW and quizzes due every week via CONNECT. I would recommend her! (She also teaches QMB)
This class is kinda tough, you will need to pay attention in class and actually spend time practicing the material. but it is easy in a way because she does give a template to help with the questions. There is weekly hw and quizzes as well as a Midterm or Final. Take her class, it is a little challenging but definitely worth it.
Besides reading the boring goal book, the class was good
She is a really nice prof. You get online adobe sessions were she will explain everything. very good responding to emails. She uses the discussion forum to explain as well. The material is hard, but she is always there to help you. Make sure you keep up with the quizzes and you should do fine on the mid and final, which are on campus. Take her
Professor Simpson is simply the best. Recommend her 100%!!!
if you have extra money to spend on the unnecessary things she makes you get for class that are useless then take her. Also if you have free time and you want to keep yourself busy take her. Its my last semester and only regret I have completing my degree is taking her. I don't write reviews but this time I was forced to
Her class is similar to QMB3200. She has a book to read which is interesting and helps with the class. It's a novel so its not boring reading. We also played a game which wasn't so hard but took like 2 hours to complete but you can pause it. Overall, the homework and quizzes are the same, no midterm and a final.
shes a nice lady, but she doesnt seem to understand students have other classes and a life. thers a book to read with tricky questions, a game module which no one in the class can pass, and course hw + tests. she does this weekly online session where she explains what will come SEE IT everytime. too much work for an ONLINE class...
Nice teacher but incredibly unrealistic with course materials & assignments. Game is a COMPLETE WASTE of time, & take about 3 hrs. If you fail, which you will ,you have 3x to pass that's 9-12 hrs for 4 pts. They are USELESS & teach NOTHING. Goal quizzes (4pt)are unfair. 10 mins long & worth more than HW(2pts)/Quizes( 4pts)which take 3-4 hrs .
She is a really great teacher. She is honestly one who cares about her students. Always willing to help. 5 homeworks(10 questions ea. 2pts total) , 5 quizzes (10questions ea. 4pts total), a short project, midterm and final 30 questions each. She gives extra credit opportunities. She is truly amazing! I'm taking her again for her next class.
DO NOT take this teacher. Test was not what she provided on the review, game modules are impossible to pass, you have to read a book 5 chapts x week, and requires lockdown browser. She makes the class really hard unless that's all you have to do then go for it. Otherwise AVOID
Incredibly rude professor. thinks she knows it all and makes the class IMPOSSIBLE to pass... She really thinks students have no life but her class. Also very untrusty of her students for examples i will not put online.
Amazing Professor! The class is not easy and has a lot of work, but Prof. Simpson will help you in everything you need. Absolutely recommeded!
There was a homework assignment and quiz assigned to each chapter, Midterm, Final, (optional group) Project. Her templates basically do the work for you. Her lectures are confusing but when you asks questions she is very helpful. Professor is caring and will definitely put a smile on your face. She is understanding TAKE HER
One of the greatest professors I have ever had! Very concerned about your performance and is eager to help clarify anything. She responds to emails very quickly and posts grades even quicker. I wanted to take a class with her next semester but it was full and she went to the department to make sure I could get an override. 10/10!
I wish every single professor teaching an online class was like her. If you want to learn something, take her. She takes the time to explain how to do the homework and the rest of the assignments. Yes, some are tough, but she provides ALL the tools you need to succeed; you just need to put some effort. Very interactive class. You won't get bored!
graded homework and quizes that are based on homework problems. basically same thing. the concepts are not easy, period. so had to pay attention to details. however no formulas used, everything was done thru excel. so basically its an Excel class, you needto plug in some values and get the result, while she gives you all the HOW-TOs and Manuals
Easy class. She provides the excel templates for problems, all you need to do is know what template to use for what problem. (She lets you use these templates and three pages of notes for midterm and final). She goes over homework and quizzes (all online). There is one easy excel project. She also gives extra credit. I ended with 100% in class.
Prof Simpson is simply amazing. Very sweet person, very clear on what she expects. This is NOT an easy subject, I was really scared to take the class and I ended up with an A. Try to avoid taking it online, her in class lectures are the best. She gives a lot of extra credit, pay attention! JUST PERFECT, I would definitely take her again.
Professor Gladys is awesome, one of the best professor at FIU. She truly cares about her students. You MUST do you part in this course. She does help you A LOT but you need to do your part to earn an A. Weekly HW & quizzes, midterm and a final (Not cumulative). Recommended you have some knowledge of excel. Would take her again! She's great!
Professor Simpson was very good at her job. Bi Weekly adobe connect meetings to go over hw problems. The other weeks there were meetings on campus to discuss the goal book. This class is fairly easy to pass if you watch all the connect meetings and read the book. The game was a little difficult but nothing too bad. Overall very good professor.
Overall Professor Simpson was AMAZING! She cares about her students and provides clear, thorough lectures to assist in biweekly quizzes and homeworks. She also assigns another biweekly quiz based on a novel and a game module. The novel is great and I learned a lot from the game modules. I've never had a professor that has cared as much as she does.
Professor Simpson is the nicest, most helpful professor I've had at FIU thus far. She replied to every single one of my emails within minutes, offering the best help she could. She guides you through every homework assignment and gives you plenty of chances to get a good grade. She also drops the lowest grade for each section. Definitely take her!!
Awesome professor. Responds quickly to emails. Offers lots of assistance, more than any professor I've taken at FIU. She has connect sessions to help with homework questions. There is a game and a novel that is required. Novel is a easy read and game can be mastered once you spend time practicing. Will pass class once you do the work.
I've taken her twice for QMB and MAN and got an A in both . Great Professor very helpful throughout the course. Gave detailed chat sessions every week and sent out weekly remarks. Take this class. You will not regret it.
This professor is good. She cares about her students and wants them to pass the class. There are bi-weekly quizzes and homeworks, and a bi-weekly game simulations. This game is the hardest part of the class since you need to meet the objectives, but it is doable. If you do not do your work do not expect a good grade
Professor Simpson is a very fair professor, I have had the privilege to take her for QMB and now for management online. Don't expect an easy A but the A is very attainable if you do the work. She makes the class was easy as she can by giving excel templates for the calculations. All you have to do it learn how to use them (which is not hard).
Best Professor ever!! really easy to take and all her homeworks and quizes are basically a gimme. she posts a how to video for the HW and if you use it then guarantee A for you. exams just like review and the business sim is easy. the only thing to worry about is reading "The Goal". But its an okay book and you do learn from it.
Professor Simpson is a good professor. She is very clear, the homeworks she literally walks you through every single one. One exam only (Final), 6 HW, 6 quizzes (exactly like HW) and reading an interesting book. She gives extra enough extra credit to bump you half a letter grade. If you didn't get an A in this class is because you didn't want to.
This class is somewhat frustrating because there are much easier professors that teach it but their classes fill up fast. The bulk of this class is made of hw and quizzes, make sure to get perfect scores on those because the final is tricky and there is NOT enough time given for it at all. Professor is supportive and will answer all your questions.
I don't write comments for professors often but professor Simpson deserved it. Even though this class isn't an easy A I really did enjoy taking her online Management course. She is very straightforward from the beginning on what will be required of you. Therefore if you're willing to put a little effort you will do just fine :)
Everything you need to know she explains it step by step. She has videos on how to answer every question on the homework, powerpoint reviews and excel sheets to plug in the necessary numbers and you will find the answer. She is amazing and very helpful. This class is easy and fun. Glad I took her as my professor for sure. Btw, I earned an A :)
To the person who said she is the worst professor ever, clearly did not put any time or effect into this class. I have taken her for both QMB and MAN, and she has been truly amazing. She is one professor that I can say cares about her students. This class wasn't the easiest but it was fun. I enjoyed the game.
basic online course, quizzes, homework and a book you have to read. She literally posts videos CLEARLY explaining how to solve all problems. There is this "game" you play that is pretty annoying. If you don't know basic excel functions (auto sum and copy paste) don't take this course but that's basic at this stage in your college career.
Excellent Professor! She explains better than any other on campus teacher. Responded emails quickly & always makes herself available on campus. A 8-10 questions per: 1 quiz & 1 HW biweekly from lecture; 1 quiz from novel book and 1 game biweekly (6 in total each). Game is doable! She drops 1 lowest grade from all, extra credit, 1 Final. Take her!
The final did not have enough time at all! It resulted in a bad grade in the class despite doing well on all the homework!
Great teacher. i took her Man4504 class in summer A. It was a lot of work, all somewhat easy but timeconsuming. I took her QMB3200 class as well, she is very helpful, understanding and very clear and specific on assignments. Exams are based on homeworks and quizzes that are clearly explained. Just follow the guidelines and you will pass.
The class is time-consuming, since it was a six-week class, but it is not difficult. She has videos that clearly explain how to solve problems for homework. Quizzes mirror the homework. Final mirrors homework and quizzes. She gives Final exam reviews. Final accounts for 35% of your grade. She gives 4% extra credit. The game is pretty simple.
Professor Simpson is amazing, she is there to help if you ask for it. I enjoyed her class this summer, definitely a caring and patient professor. In the class we played this game that took what we learned from the book and put it into practice with a way to see how it works in the real world.
Simplifies everything. Literally all you have to do is show up and follow along as she shows you how to solve everything using excel templates she has made for you. All you need to learn is which template to use. And that too she spoon feeds you. two attempts for homework and one for quiz... She literally takes the horse to you just have to drink
I definitely recommend taking this professor. This class is super passable and she gives you all the resources to make sure you get an A. You just have to learn which template to use and know how to plug in the data and you'll be fine. Class is only mandatory if she sees you falling behind. She also posts her lectures online and gives extra credit.
I am taking this class online and it is very difficult to figure out the homeworks and quizzes because the powerpoints she posts don't relate to whats in the homework well. She doesn't show how to do the formulas in them and the quizzes arent a lot like the homework so they are even more difficult.
Very caring teacher with a lot of knowledge for the course. Explains very well. I've learned a lot with her. Would recommend her if you need to take this class. Lots of hw and quizzes, but not hard if you pay attention in class. The lectures are online. You dont have to go to class if you have an 80+ on her class.
Pros:very good about answering emails, extra credit, homeworks (watch her lectures she tells you EXACTLY how to do it) and quizzes. The final exam is almost identical to the final review she gives you. Cons:not very good at explaining what to expect, there are quizzes on a very boring book, a game thats very difficult to master.
the nicest professor ive ever taken at FIU! shes so sweet and makes every student feel like her child. midterm, final, quizzes and homework weekly but nothing is hard as long as you pay attention to her. shes very willing to help you with anything you dont understand and lots of chances for extra credit
Professor Simpson is a great professor. She has clear grading criteria, the class structure is easy to get used to and follow. Online HW pretty much every other week, followed by a Quiz every other week you don't have HW on what the HW was on. She goes over HW in class to help prepare for the quizzes. For the midterm and final she has a practice
Took professor Simpson in a 12 week mini-term and it was great. She went the extra mile by offering optional study sessions in the middle of the week . She provides you with templates to solve the problems, and it's your responsibility to know which one to use. If you figure that out, the class is very simple. Gives EC, would def. take again!!
Gives online lectures which explain all hw and concepts in powerpoints. Moderate use of textbook for harder chapters. Extra book required for course (novel+boring) (8-10?) quiz based on novel bi-weekly. Required bi-weekly homework (10?) +quiz (10?) related to homework+ch. (3 hrs. max/week spent on course) Final exam is cumulative. EXCEL IS UR BFF
Professor Gladys is a very nice teacher. She knows her stuff but you have to pay attention in class or watch her re-recorded lectures if you can't make it (thats a plus but it is super long 3 hour class). Other than that, pay attention, once you know how to do the things in class. The excel templates are given for you to do the quizes and HW.
I honestly did not like this class. expect Proctored Exams, tough quizzes and stupid game thats difficult too. the coursework for this entire class makes it seem harder than it should be. take elsewhere.
Just avoid her at all cost.
Took this class online during the summer. The Professor had a good plan for the course. Grading was fair and Prof provided videos and templates to help understand the HW and Quizes. Good experience overall. If you need more time take in the Fall or Spring otherwise good class to take with Prof.
She is an alright professor. Only professor that I had that in fin that was cheap with her points. Alot of HW so make sure you have time to complete them. Responds to emails quickly. Videos are a couple of hours long. If your not good in excel Id advise another professor honestly. She just runs through the material. Her accent is very strong.
Highly organized professor! One of the most professional instructors I've had at FIU. She provides you with every tool possible to succeed in her class, so if you don't, it's usually entirely your own fault. Be prepared: she gives A LOT of work, both in and out of class. Responds to emails very quickly. Take her.
Prof. Simpson is the best for QMB. She has templates (which can be used on the test) and video recordings that are helpful. There are weekly hw, participation, and quiz assignments but they are very easy. Plus you have 2 tries at the midterm and final! She really cares and will respond to emails quickly. TAKE HER!!!
Taught me a lot about excel. She teaches far more than the basics and shows how to do many complex functions. Attendance is optional but it's mandatory if you fall under a certain percentage
Homework due on Fridays/quizzes on Sunday. Long videos but she works each and every problem out. Study from the lectures and hw. Practice mid and final exams/proctored. If you do well on them, you don't have to take mid and final. Lots of spreadsheets but they help you thru the work/no other prof does that! Would highly recommend. Taking her again.
Prof Simpson's course is the perfect balance of simple yet beneficial. You will have to put some effort but she gives you so many resources that it will be easy and you will learn. You have two tries at the midterm and final. There are biweekly hw and quiz assignments and opportunities for extra credit. She is a great professor, no doubt about it!
Ok so professor Gladys is nice and really wants students to learn her material but BEWARE her tests are nothing like the ordinary. There is no multiple choice in her tests so its either you know all the material or you dont. Every exam of hers has an Excel part to it that is not easy. If your looking for an easy class & good gpa then SKIP HER!!
No this class is not an easy A.. I've realized that students have no work ethic. I've never had a Professor like Professor Simpson. She cares so much about her students and has given us every resource possible to succeed. Yes, you need to put in work, but it is do able. There is participation every week, and a weekly homework or a quiz.
Besides teaching class material, she also helps students with lots of excel functions which help tremendously. We use top hat which goes with questions done in class which I felt really helped me learn and go along with it. She gives plenty of resources for material and gives out extra credit. It's not an easy class, but she does make it simple.
Prof Simpson, by far, the best prof ever at FIU. She cares about her students, provides feedback. Her class consisted of 5 HW/5 quizzes/5 quizes on the box The Goal/5 simulated games. She records her lessons which are great, gives you a choice for on campus mid/final or proctored. Amazing Professor. Highly recommend! The Boss
Really makes it easy for her students to keep up as excel is hard! Her recorded lectures allow you to go at your own pace. If you actually want to learn take her. Great professor! And Excel skills can be used in any workplace!
Took this in Summer A and it was VERY fast paced, but she gives you EVERYTHING you need to pass her exams. You will want to show up to class in order to understand how to use her excel templates that she also lets you use on quizzes and tests. She is above and beyond! Her teaching was amazing and the things you learn can be applied in real life.
there is alot of work and time you need to dedicate for this class but if you show interest,try & actually put forth your time you will pass. She helps those who want to learn and succeed but does not give hand-outs- you have to earn it. If you pay attention, ask questions and communicate with her she will do her best to help you learn&pass.
Amazing and caring professor, get ready for a lot of homework but youll learn a lot from this class. All exams and quizzes use excel. Weekly quizzes/Homework and in class exercises.
Great professor, takes the time to make recordings of the lectures to walk you through the lessons. Lectures were VERY helpful & she provides excel templates to help with hw & quizzes. Multiple quizzes, games, HW assignments & quizzes on a book:The Goal + Proctored final! Offers extra credit as well; not an easy A, you have to work for your grade
She is one of the greatest professors I have had the opportunity to take. She really cares about her students and makes an effort to help each student in and out of class. She does a great job at explaining the materials in her lectures. Make sure you go to class and pay attention and you should be fine!
I took her online and basically if you do not watch her 3 hour long lectures you wont pass. If youre not an expert in excel then do not take this class. Half of the class are statistic concepts and the other half is doing statistics on excel sheets. She expects about 10 hours dedicated weekly to this class. She is a good professor, a lot of work.
You have to watch a 2 hour lecture every week, this is the only way to do good in the class. You will have one week HW and participation and another week a quiz and a participation and that is for each of the modules so in reality you will spend 2 weeks in each module. Midterm and final are both proctor-u but she gives a review for it.
Yes, you need to watch her video in order to pass the class. It's a lot of work and time but you will learn a lot but you have to put time for this class as most of the quizzes and homework are done in excels. Midterm and final are excel but she gives a good review.
I never attended class since she records the classes and you can watch anytime and re-watch if you did not understand something. There is Homework and quiz every other week. There is midterm and final. If you watch the videos and do the problems along with her that is all you need to pass the class.
I think her are intentions are good, but her teaching methods are messy. Lots of videos, between 2-3 hrs and her explanations are not clear. For an on-line class, it's excessive. Spent too much time trying to complete HW and TopHat assignments in time and missed key concepts I needed to grasp in this course in the first place. So disappointed :(
She is a very nice professor. You're going to work in her class. Her lectures are really long. I never understood what she was explaining but I passed. If you do her work & pay attention to the questions you'll be able to pass. She has recordings of her class which helps to do assignments. She also provides study guides for midterms & final!
Super easy, just do the hw and her Exam reviews and you will pass.
Gladly Simpson is the best math professor In my study experience . I dont know what her class did to me , I used her class knowledge to do stocks ( I gain 43 bucks in one day , I havent taken any finance class yet ). Also , I love the way how she taught the material, excel is useful but logical . I will take her class again soon
Took Summer A session with her and it was fine but the testing format is awful. Both the midterm and final are through excel and there was constant issues. Other than that, there are Pearson hw's and excel assignments.
Took her for Summer A. Weekly HW (Pearson) and Excel assignments worth 25% each, 2 proctored Exams on Excel (25% each). There were issues with the submission format for Midterm, format issues reported with Final. Her teaching methods are not so clear, but you can get a good grade if you practice.
Most confusing proffesor youll ever take
The first time she does a remote and in-class course at the same time. take her almost 30 mins to figure how zoom works for every class. she is very disrespectful to the zoom peers that have technical issues with their computer. it's very hard to keep up with her because she speaks too fast and the face mask muffles her voice.
rude proffesor and makes things more complicated that it needs to be
This is not the easiest class, but she makes videos that show you step by step how to complete the assignment. The midterm & final are very close to the practice exams she provides. Complete the weekly assignments, practice the midterm & final multiple times and make a good cheat sheet, you will get an A in the class.
It takes a lot of me to write a bad review but she is super disorganized. She says one thing then changes her mind and confuses everything. She's also super intimidating and just makes you feel dumb. Only good thing was that her practice test are just like the exams. She also has videos which help but try to take with someone else!!
Confusing and disorganized professor with a bad attitude. She speaks condescendingly to her students and refuses to help when they ask questions. One of those teachers that are out to get you instead of there to help. Only reason she has good ratings are cause her practice test are similar to the exams so they are an easy A. Not worth the headache.
She made the mistake that many professors make; The assumption that students have the same knowledge they do. Its hard to learn and retain from her lectures without prior knowledge. No concerns for students! Heavy Midterm and final with last minute changes She is condescending as well so get a tutor for her class !
I'm a full time employee a mom of three little kids and I pass her class with an A+. I am not genius I just pay attention and do what she said. She gives EC opportunity, quiz homework excel assignment once per week. 2 proctored exams with clear review. Bad reviews maybe from lassi folks
Good class. Great lectures.
This class is not easy, however if you do everything Dr. Simpson tells you to do and put in the time since it's a MBA class you will do fine. If you do the minimum and expect to get an A - not gonna happen. Too many people complain but don't put in the time. And yes you are expected to have basic Excel skills it's a MBA class folks.
I appreciated that the professor provided videos from a previous student to show how to do the homework because she does not know how to teach. Without the former student videos, I would have not been able to understand the homework or the class. She is not a bad person but she's not a great prof either
DO NOT TAKE HER! Trust me.
Professor Simpson is the worst teacher I have ever had in my FIU years. I took her for summer A. She is very disorganized and a bit rude especially when it comes to e-mailinf her. She gives extra work for no reason. If you want to pass, I do not recommend her at all.
Took her for summer A. She literally has templates for every assignment along with videos to solve excel problems and pearson hw provides examples too. Her practice midterm and final are very similar almost the same to the actual ones. She is very nice and I will definitely take her form QMB4680.
Summer A - Prof. is a little bit disorganized but was always flexible with submitting late hw or giving "grace periods" to submit assignments. Overall, really good professor and provides templates and videos for almost everything. Also, participation quizzes every class.
First class i've ever failed. Tough.
Great professor. She gives walk-through videos for literally all of the homework we do. The practice exams are exactly like the actual exams. Also can use a cheatsheet on the exam. She hosts weekly (recorded) zoom meetings to answer any questions/discuss hw. The class was so straightforward that I'm taking her again next semester for QMB4680.
HORRIBLE. This is the first time I take the time to leave a review. Exams are extremely heavy with no time to complete questions. It takes 3-4 hours to complete homework and she only gives an hour and 20 minutes for exams. Also, she wants students to log in to ZOOM during exams even though we are already using honor lock. Ruined my GPA stay away!
If you want to save yourself headaches take another professor she does not know how to teach. Straight A student here to almost a C because of this class.
DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER! This semester was the worst mainly because of her. The exams are heavy and even if you study the practice final, she changes up the questions and adds more things to it. The only way I passed was because of the students step by step videos for the hw. She will have you on zoom during the exam. She does the ABSLOUTE MOST!
Doctor Simpson was a super caring smart professor. She was teaching a class that was not easy at all but did her best to make it understandable and provided templates and videos for all problems. I did 4 stars because of her proctoring. She is very concerned with cheating and uses 3 proctoring programs for each exam which overheats your computer.
Horrible professor , the student that makes the videos should be the teacher because his videos have helped me more then her . Her test are extremely hard
Professor Simpson exceeded my expectations. She is very helpful, responsive, accessible and provides step by step videos for HWs. There's a proctored midterm & final which she prepares you for with practice exams. There's 5 quizzes, 5 mylab HWs, 5 Excel assignments, 5 linkedin learning assignments. There's also EC opportunities. Take her!
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! Professor Simpson will have you study a practice exam for the midterm and final, but will completely switch up the exam and have more indepth questions that she did not review in the lectures. Her class includes videos made by another student but thats the only way you can complete the review. Do better professor..
In this class you work in Excel to do analysis & use various formulas. There's a proctored midterm & final, weekly HW assignments and extra credit opportunities. Workload is very manageable. Many students complained about the professor b/c the content is challenging but the professor provided lots of resources to help us. You get what you put in.
Two exams both proctored on zoom AND Honorlock. If you so as move your eyes you will get reported for cheating. Disrespectful, unprofessional, does not teach. Study guides are only somewhat like the test. Homeworks are EXTREMELY tedious and take over two hours each and you have five every week. Just unnecessarily tedious.
Don't listen to the bad ratings, they probably did not even put any effort in the class. Professor Simpson really does a great job going through the lessons and ensures that we understand the material. I was not into Excel at all before I took her first. You will be more than prepared for the exams since the practice ones are almost identical.
If you want to fail this class then please take this professor. That is all
She is one of the gems the business department at FIU has. She gives a class participation quiz similar to the homework. Every week she alternates between an excel assignment and mylab, and put up a video. She gives two exams: mid-term and final, with practice exams before. What more do you guys needs? She is just awesome and also gives templates.
DO NOT take QMB3200 with her. Suspects everyone of cheating and makes you take the exam again. Her midterm is supposedly harder than the final and even if you study and do well on the homework, you can bomb it. Not only gives many assignments to be done in the week but made it mandatory to attach video tutorials on how you get your answers. Beware.
Professor Simpson is a great choice for QMB 3200. Grading is based on participation quizzes, 5 excel modules, 5 pearson mylab modules, and midterm + final. Class is not hard but you do need to review the excels.
Difficult to get a hold of the professor through email. Disrespectful when she replies back. Does not put effort to help students who are trying. Tells students to rely on TA's instead of her. Excessive monitoring during exams. Uses a different version of Excel compared to what I had (showed shortcuts specific to her version). Report her!
Honestly, the class is pretty straight forward and easy as long as you study the excel files. Once you get used to it, its a walk In the park. Only negative thing is that she blatantlyaccuses of cheating. She does not even try to hide it. I am a legit student and knew the content well. She was suspicious of my final because I completed it so fast.
Honestly the class wasn't too difficult. But she doesn't respond to emails or questions, thinks you're cheating all the time, and doesn't take consideration that it is an online class and makes you pick a certain time of the day to take the test. She doesn't care, and relies on her TA's to assist you. I wouldn't recommend this professor at all.
If you have a QMB course take it with her. Easiest tests in the professor in the department.
She provides videos explaining the lectures, homework, and Test Reviews. The test Reviews are similar to the actual Midterm and final. Practice it a lot because she changes a few things around the reviews like the back of your hand. She is demanding for the assignments. She is a solid choice to pass QMB 4680 you just have to put in effort.
I took both QMB3200 and QMB4680 with her. She's amazing, a true expert in the content of her lectures. I learned so much from her classes. If you want to grasp a good content of Excel, she's your go-to!
Sucks. Barely explains and it's really hard to understand when she talks.
She is caring and wants you to pass. Ask her if you need extensions, she will work with you. Lots of extra credit. Its tough at first but keep practicing and put in the work. It will then become an easy A. Her reviews are almost identical to the midterm and final. Just do the work and it will be worth it. At the end, learned alot about excel.
THIS TEACHER WILL EMBARRASS YOU if you are paying attention to class she will call out your name, she is always late even on our MIDTERM we had she came late and made us finish early from the time that was announced on canvas reason was because she was going to her sons wedding and was over lapping other exams on our class time!!! DO NOT TAKE HER
Do not take this teacher! im telling you, the ratings are misleading and completely wrong. She gives the hardest excel practice assignments, she takes FOREVER to answer your emails and her teaching assistant grades incorrectly. Literally get ready to fight for you life in this class.
I don't normally write reviews, but these ratings are very misleading. I have never failed a college course before professor Simpson. This class was so disorganized and there was an immense amount of work due every week that was very time consuming. Communication is terrible, coursework is very difficult, and the professor is not good.
Long and weekly assignments. Have to pay very close attention in class and attend tutoring hours, but once you get the grasp of the course it becomes way easier.
Shes honestly a really good professor and will help you if she sees that your willing to put in the work. She has lots of extra credit opportunities and office hours if you have questions ab hw. The excel HW have videos & her test are very similar to the reviews. Just put in the work and connect with people who want to pass & can help you out etc
This course is alot & work needs to be done, so you have to put the time to do the assignments each week. She provides two different sets of videos to do the assignments step by step. Super easy if you give yourself enough time to do the work. She is caring, she extends homework and gives lots of extra credit. Her reviews are the same as her test.
DO NOT TAKE QMB4680 WITH HER! One thing they do not tell you is that you are expected to be recorded on EVERYTHING and not just the regular computer screen, she expects you to use two devices to record, in front and next to you for exams/ homework/ regular work. It's complete nonsense. I don't have time for this and it is not that serious lady...
I used hilarious in a sarcastic way because it's funny to think this lady expects her students to drop absolutely everything they have in their lives for this one class. Off the bat, she told us that if we didn't take QMB 3200 with her, we'd fail and to drop the class. Who says that? Blatantly disrespectful with no remorse. DON'T TAKE WITH HER!
The course is not organized at all, there are barely any materials to learn from, and she does everything but explain. If you take the course online, the midterm and final exams are through Zoom one-on-one with her. She has accused almost half of the class of cheating when it is literally impossible, and her skepticism has hurt people's grades
The only hard part about the course was doing the Mcgraw Hill homeworks because there is no hints or examples to help. Other than that for the excel assignments and tests reviews she provides step by step videos to show you how they are done. The midterm and final are very similar to the practice reviews and you are allowed to use 1 sheet of notes.
I took this professor for both QMB3200 and QMB4680 and highly recommend her. As long as you do the work, you'll be able to pass the class. She provides a practice exam before the actual tests and they are EXTREMELY helpful. I personally believe she assigned a lot of work compared to other classes but it was still doable. Take her if you can!
The work is manageable if you work together as a class. Her midterm and final on zoom were the worst testing experiences. I was accused of cheating even though she proctored the exams. I had to reach out to the department for this professor. If you take this class, do the exams in person even if you take the online class.
The class can be challenging, but with focus and using resources like Unstuckstudy AI, you can succeed. The professor provides helpful videos, but communication and grading can be inconsistent. Overall, it's manageable if you stay engaged.
She accuses everyone of cheating and takes somuch pride in it. It sucks how some students work hard to set up everything for the test with 3 cameras and she accuses them of cheating and makes them rewrite because she forgets to record the zoom meeting of the student writing the exam
She accuses her students of cheating, she accused me when I was doing the exam literally in front of her, I sent her the file, she said there was nothing on the file and I said how? She accused me of cheating because I wasn't surprised enough. I kept saying I will do the exam in front of you right now. A student who's cheating won't do that
Terrible experience with this class. I have never been had to setup a separate device to record myself, keyboard, and screen while also on a proctored exam. If you dont, you fail. To be accused of cheating, as well told something about my ONLY location to test is something I would not expect from a University professor. Do not take this class.
First time excel user. Midterm 20%, and final 25%, proctored using honorlock and then phone on zoom behind you. Youll struggle at the start but over time it gets easier to learn. This is one of the few classes I've actually learned from. Professor is very nice, but course is not very excel beginner friendly. You will learn, but it ain't easy.
Do not recommend this class. The class was purely through excel with little to no actual teaching. The teacher questions you throughout all zooms. Midterm and Final both need to be proctored plus have a device on your screen and keyboard. Tough grader and didn't seem in favor of the students.
You will be so busy with this class you will have no social life in this class because you will be teaching yourself this even if your an in person or online student . Unless you are professional in excel do not take this is self taught. You will spend hours teaching yourself and have no time for anything else.
I would suggest taking this course in person since you would learn easier because this class is mostly on Excel. She made this class fairly easy and the tests were simple, just straightforwardly looking at data and basic statistics.
she uses two cameras on online exams
