Great!
Highly recommend!
She is helpful but her class is extremely boring because she explains everything in lot of details like if we were little kids. Really easy class you don't even have to attend, just go the first week and the day of the test. 4 test, she drops the lowest grade.
She is awesome drops your lowest grade and weighs your highest test score as 45% of your grade. If you are in between taking this class or computers for business take her she is so great. you do not even have to take the lab!!!!!
This professor rocks! She is so easy to understand and makes the material very easy. Highly recommend.
DO NOT take this class if you're expecting to never attend the labs or go to her lectures because you will flat out fail. i'd say about 60% of my class failed it, she doesn't curve & won't make exeptions, tests are extremely hard (memorize the book!) & i had to bust my ass for a B. she's extremely nice but the class material is just plain hard.
attendance is not mandatory anymore. you never need to go to class because tests are based on tutorials from book, which is so easy!!! never went to class, only on test dates. she curves all tests and only takes best 3 out of 4. TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!
take this class!! easiest call you will probaly ever take! she give great curves and tests are not hard at all
Great class. Excellent teacher. Speaks clearly. Grades are based on an overly generous curve. Do not listen to any negative reviewers. You have to be a complete moron to fail this class!
Very cool professor. Makes learning very fun. Very fair. All around great class. Take it with her you will not be dissapointed.
Bad teacher. Will not help you out at all. Test are very hard and confusing. Lectures are boring and labs are even more boring! Must take a lot of notes and make sure you read the book to have a chance at pasing the class. Offers no extra credit only the practice questions online. Don't recommend
Easiest class you will ever take. Attendance isn't mandatory and it's lecture one day and lab another. I rarely went to class and didn't even take the last test because i had an A already and she drops the lowest grade. If you have half a brain you will ace it. Don't think twice about taking this class.
EASY CLASS. You really have to be lazy or an idiot to fail this class. Seriously, she drops your lowest grade, doesn't take attendance, and you just have to do excel exercises out of the book. She's really helpful and the class is not interesting at all, but she'll clarify anything you need to know. Take this class if you want an easy A.
want an easy A? well this is the class for you. you don't hav eto go to the lecture just the labs (if you're to lazy to do it at home) so basically you can just go to the test date and pass. you can fail one test and pass. fail 2nd test and pass. so you can get a B and a C and you are good to go!!! (10 min test anyways). class pointless. =)
Good grading Method, Nice Teacher, Not a hard class BUT, your never clear on what you have to study for the test. You don't know if to study the whole chapters she tells you or certain key terms or what. She might give you a lil review but you kinda have to guess and study on your own to pass the test.
The best teacher ever! Not only does she not take attendace and offer a beneficial grading scheme, but she tells you the answers to the tests VERBATIM! She always offers 1 extra credit point JUST for filling out your scantron correctly and offers 5 excred points for "attempting" online questions! Do yourself a favor and take her!
Great professor. You don't really have to buy the material if you attend class. She teaches the class the way anybody can understand... Seriously, even if you're retarded, you'll still learn a lot. Her grading system is to die for, Pro student. Take her, you won't regret it.
THE CLASS WAS SO INCREDIBLY EASY!!! Weiss is EXTREMELY HELPFUL. Only met once a week & lab's arent mandatory. She only counts 3 exams outta 4. After 3rd exam she emailed me that I got an A and I never had to show up again!!
CLASS IS A JOKE. EASY CLASS. 4 TESTS. BEST TEST IS WORTH 45%, SECOND BEST IS LIKE 30% AND THIRD TEST IS LIKE 25%...SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THE LAST TEST DOESNT COUNT (WHICH MEANS IF YOU DO GOOD ON FIRST 3 TEST, THE CLASS ENDS EARLIER IN SEMESTER FOR YOU). TEACHES USEFUL STUFF THOUGH
I had her for Data Analysis.... key is to just go to her lectures cuz she gives whats gonna be on exams and do any extra credit she gives!
Extremely nice and extremely helpful!! Very easy material as long as you know the basics of Microsoft word & excel, if not then read the chapters and you will be fine. Classes & lab not mandatory. Highly recommended!
Damn this was an easy class, i only regret not not putting just a little more effort... but all you have to do is read the chapters n power points ,the test are directly from the book you dont even have to do the tutorials...i took this class in the summer and im glad i did highly recommended
Extremely easy class. As long as you know anything about Excell and Access, you'll do fine. She makes you take 4 tests and drops the lowest grade. There is no final and you aren't even required to go to lab sessions!
extremely easy class. Lab's aren't required just as long as you have Excel and Access on you home computer to do the turorials. She post extra credit for each test on the class website. And all you have to do is try it, you can get every answer wrong and you still get 5 points added to each test. She drops lowest test grade. HIghly recommended!
Just make sure you have the text books and Microsoft Office 2007. Do the lab exercises, you can go to the lab or do them at home. The hardest part is the Excel but its not too hard. Word is a joke. She encourages using Mozilla Firefox instead of Internet Explorer for those who haven't seen the light.
Super easy class. but its also one of those classes taht if u expect to get away without doing any of the assignments or studying cause its word and excel. u will end up failing. so do the lab assignments. vene if its at home. u dont have to show up for class. but know the material. she drops thw worst of ur four test grades. no final.
Very easy. Make sure to do the lab assignments so that you get an idea of what will be on the tests. Do the extra credit. Work hard and you wont have to take the final.
THIS CLASS WAS A JOKE! I AM STILL UPSET AT MYSELF THAT I GOT A C BECAUSE IF I HAD APPLIED MYSELF I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN AN EASY A+. SHE IS SUPER COOL AND HELPS YOU EVEN RIGHT BEFORE EXAMS IN HER OFFICE
Super easy class...you do not need to show up for class just know when the tests are and what to study, 4 tests and drops the lowest one, i definitely recommend if you need an easy elective
Excellent computer professor, makes things very easy and clear. Her tests are not that hard, this class is defenitely an easy A.
GREAT PROFESSOR. Attendance not mandatory, but I recommend showing up--Will miss test questions. Knows the material! Very helpful! Awesome grading policy! Does test review before each exam! Basically hands out A's! :-)
Great teacher, gives you plenty of opportunities to get an A. Lab attendance is not mandatory, make sure you do the online quiz for bonus marks before each exam. Best teacher to have for this boring class.
Great professor! The lectures are very informative and set you up to ace the exams. You must do the work from the book and she has easy extra credit before each exam. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!
She is a great professor! She will explain everything that will be on the test. You don't have to go to the lab to pass the exam. I do recommend going to the lectures since its basically everything that's on the exam.
Professor Weiss is extremely nice and helpful. She never hesitates to answer your questions. The lab on Thursdays isn't mandatory. Neither is lecture but I recommend you attend because she explains very thoroughly everything that will eventually be on her exams. Impossible to fail. Take her!
Definitely take her class. It's easy and she teaches well. She's extremely fair. Small amount of extra credit to top it off.
This class is extremely easy. If you are a non-science major and are seeking to get an easy math class, pick this one. She teaches how to use excel which can actually be useful. The tests are very easy if you follow up and do the tutorials and study the vocabulary. She even gives you an extra 5 credit points just for answering some extra questions.
Easy class, only had an issue with the midterm but still got a good grade. She is very helpful!!
Professor Weiss is definitely worth taking. Her lectures are very clear and she's very open to questions. She's very helpful outside of the classroom as well. The exams are all multiple choice and very easy if you've paid attention and reviewed the book. Great class..
Took her for microcomputers, easiest class ever!!! Take her, she gives you an extra five points on every exam and the exam itself is super easy. I didnt even buy the book for the 3rd exam.
awesome teacher and very easy 4 tests one dropped and an ec exam worth 6 points nothing else, NO HW NO PAPER NO NOTHING EC ON ALL EXAMS !!
Very easy class, attendance not mandatory, four exams, final is NOT accumulative and she gives easy extra credit. I definitely recommend.
SO EASY. This class is a JOKE. 4 exams, lowest drops. Guaranteed 5 extra credit points for every test. No homework. Optional lab. The only negative is that the lecture once a week is HORRIBLY boring. If you are willing to read the book yourself, go for it. I personally prefer seeing her do examples though. Either way, you'll get an A.
WOW! ONE OF THE NICEST/HELPFUL PROFESSORS AT FIU. Makes learning about Excel/Word a breeze. She is always willing to help you and is completely compassionate. Took her for the summer and she was awesome!!
This class is SO easy! You have to do tutorials for Excel and Microsoft word. She gives you four exams and the lowest grade is dropped. It's really hard to fail this class.She's also very nice. Her class is a little boring though and attendance is not mandatory. If you do the tutorials and study her reviews, then you will get an A.
Easiest online class! Quizzes are only ten questions and you can take them twice. No homework required. Buy the textbooks online and they are really cheap! I got both of mine for $14
Such at great Professor! Straight forward about expectations. No projects, no homework. Just go to lectures, complete tutorials(optional), do EXTRA CREDIT- you get 5 pts just for attempting, and of course go to tests. She doesn't believe in Finals either, so you're done with this class a week before everyone else! Don't take Walid Akache CGS2100.
She's awesome <3 really easy class, helps you with everything, if you take notes in class the tests will be easy. extra credit points when you don't even have to get the answers right. take this if you're non-science.
easy class, very nice professor, just go to lectures and do your lab work easy stuff you will pass, extra credit for every exam
Awesome professor, 4 exams, she drops 1. Her exams are pretty easy, just take notes in class or read the book and youll get an A. Definitely Recommend her
Great teacher! Easy class. Read the book. That's all you need for this class.
Stay on top of quizzes, not much assignments, consult google for those tricky questions throughout the class; not rough at all
EASY class. 4 Tests drops the lowest. Dont have to attend or go to the labs either. You can just show up the test dates. If you dont go to class buy the book though, so you can read over it before the tests. Gives 5 extra credit test points on each test. I recommend taking any class with her.
This class is basically word and excel! Very dry material, so it's difficult to make it interesting. Class is graded on a very easy curve, and the exams are simple. 5 points extra credit on each exam with online test prep. 4 exams, drops the lowest grade!
This class is so simple. Just read the tutorials or go to class. Prof Weiss is the sweetest lady ever. She gives plenty of extra credit opportunities and drops the lowest grade. It's just excel and word so the content isn't difficult either. Great class and awesome professor!!
This class is REALLY boring. I didn't take this class seriously and never showed up only on test. I passed with an A. She drops your lowest grade and your highest is worth 45% of your grade. She's really nice but monotone which makes it hard to pay attention to her.
This class is veryyyy easy!! attendance not mandatory and neither is lab. i almost never went to class, just studied from the book and passed with a B! theres 4 exams, one with lowest grade gets dropped.
This class was seriously easy. Attendance is not mandatory and all the questions come straight from the book. Check with her website for extra credit opportunities. I would definitely recommend this class. Professor Weiss knows what she's talking about in her lectures.
Super nice. Explains crystal clear. Tests are easy. Everything is gone over in class. Dont even need the book
You NEED the textbook, you don't have to attend class at all just do your readings and show up for the exams. She gives extra credit opportunities for every exam. TAKE HER!
The teacher goes out of her way to make sure her students pass. Extra credit opportunities are abundant. Just take note of things that she emphasizes in lectures and assignments.
AMAzing internet course. The teacher is great!!! She gives you two chances for each quiz and then drops two lowest quiz scores!! Again all you have to do is study from book and you will do well...she gives you plenty of chances to fecieve an A!!!! And she is sweet when writing emails, very understanding! Good Luck...and take her internet course
Shell work with you, and she treats every one like an individual.YOU NEED THE BOOK.
took her for cgs 2608.. SIMPLY AMAZING, CARING, THOUGHTFUL,AND EASYYYY!!!! DON;T EVEN NEED TO GO TO CLASS BUT YOU SHOULD. HALF OF WHAT SHE SAYS IS NO THE EXAMS. SHE'S MONOTONE BUT SHE'S SO CUTE & TRIES TO BE FUNNY. CARINGGGG!!! LOVE HER! TAKE HER AGAIN FOR MATH.
This class is self-explanatory. You NEED to buy the textbook and exams are super straight forward. There's no way to do bad in this class, with this professor unless you dont read or go to class. Her lectures are overviews and she gives hints to what expect on the exam. Shes extremely helpful! Take this class with her.
Even though I rated her well, I failed her class. I wish this class was in the afternoon. I couldn't show up to two exams and I did poorly on the exams that I did do. She will help you if she can. Still can't believe I failed...
She's incredibly helpful and crystal clear of her expectations from students. Attendance is not mandatory, but you absolutely NEED the book. Plenty of opportunity for extra credit and lowest test score is dropped. However, tests are very specific and you will need to put in some time and effort.
She's VERY sweet. But in order to get an A you MUST attend all lectures and do the labs! Although none are mandatory. Pay attention during her lecture too!
AMAZING PROFESSOR. She is very organized, lectures are interactive and engaging. Extra credit provided for every exam and you get to drop one exam. YOU WILL LEARN VERY USEFUL SKILLS IN HER CLASS.
TAKE HER! This class really couldn't be any easier. 4 exams, your best exam is worth 45%, your second best is worth 30%, your third best is worth 25% and your worst exam is dropped. She gives extra credit for all exams! You don't have to go to the class or labs, just read the book and you'll be good! She is truly amazing and wants everyone to pass.
Clear, engaging, and occasionally funny teacher!! Interesting class if you like math. She is extremely helpful and friendly. You have extra credit for every test, so do them! Though, in order to get an A you really need to take very meticulous notes, and memorize some formulas. Else than that is a really interesting class!!
She is extremely nice, helpful, kind, and funny. If you talk to her often, she will help you with whatever you need. Easy A. Just pay attention and practice a little. Definitely need the book. Best way to approach the class is to study with a friend the night before a test. There are only 4 grades/tests, one of which she will drop (lowest)
Great instructor. She explains clearly and is helpful. Follow the book and do the assignments and you will have no problem.
She is very kind, and helpful!
Do yourself a favor and take this class with Jill Weiss, not only is she very nice, but she is easy. She gives extra credit opportunities before every exam that will help you out. I hardly went to class i just read the book and i did well on all of the exams.
Nicest professor i've had at FIU so far. She explains things thoroughly, gives extra credit for every test, and she really knows her stuff. Just follow everything she says, do the exercises, and you'll get an A.
This class was easy but it was near impossible for me. The professor is great though. She is nice and caring and knows exactly what she is talking about. She provides extra credit opportunities too. The book is NEEDED. With all that being said, I still struggled in this class.
Took online and was EASY. Almost impossible to fail. 6 quizzes worth 40% (drops 2 worst) and the Excel and Access exams worth 30% of your grade. Got 100% on all the quizzes (right from the slides). Pay attention to the vocab/terms because that's most of the exams and you will ace those also!! Easy A and learned Excel & Access fluently. Take!!
Professor Weiss makes every possible effort so her students get a good grade. I did not went to the labs I only went to the classes and mostly fell asleep during them. You just have to review the concepts in the book and you ca find them online also. Great professor and easiest class. I got a B+.
Class is not mandatory at all. If you just do the tutorials required from the book, you can easily pass this class. With that said, the book IS MANDATORY if you want to even think of passing. Everything comes from the book, everything. I can't stress that enough, everything. Definitely a class that can be passed with an A.
This class is easy but you must study for the exams. Class isn't mandatory, all the material is in class. I only went to class 5 times. I passed the class with a B+ cause of laziness and underestimating the easiness of the class for the first exam. Book is a MUST. Read the tutorial and you should pass.
Pretty boring material, but the professor understands that and tries her best to make things more bearable. Most helpful teacher I have had at FIU. Must buy the book , a lot of test questions are specific to the tutorials.
Super nice, will work with you if you're having any problems. Class is not mandatory, and neither are the labs. You do have to read the chapters if you want to pass the tests. Would recommend.
I took this class expecting to get an A and that is what I ended up getting but i did had to put in the effort to go to class and do the tutorials at home by myself. In class she goes over the tutorials you need to know for the test and answers any and all of the questions you have. Test are easy if you read the textbook. I highly recommend her
She is terrific! Take her!
She's a great professor and who always wants to see her students do well. Textbook is mandatory to study. Take her!
This lady changed. Unhelpful and inconsistant. Not easy AT all the only good this is her grading scale and that she add 5 points to your test grade. I would not recommend her. She did tell me that since so many people said her class was "easy" she decided to make it more rigorous .-. READ THE BOOK
Easy class to get an A in as long as you study two days before the exam. Lab sessions are not mandatory. She gives 5 points of extra credit for all 4 tests. She drops your lowest test grade. Its impossible to not get an A. Your best test is weighed 40%, second best 30% and third best 25%. Take her.
Took this class Fall 2013. Four exams and she gives extra credit. Really easy. Textbook is necessary and make sure you do the tutorials. Attendance is not necessary. Lectures can be quite boring, but she is really nice.
Attendance is not mandatory but the textbook is a MUST! four exams (not cumulative)and extra credit for each test. she drops your lowest test and your best grade counts for 45% of your grade!
JIll is the best teacher I have ever had in my 19 years of living. She is literally the sweetest thang ever. Her class may be boring at times, but she makes excel as fun as it can be. #Jill4luf
Professor Weiss was very helpful& sweet! She made the class interesting enough and she is very knowledgeable in Excel. 4 Exams, each with a 2/3 extra credit quiz worth 5 points (too easy) and she also provides another extra credit quiz at the end worth 5 points (I think) towards your final grade. BUY THE BOOK & take good notes & you'll get an A!!!
Class is not as easy as people say. You need to really study and memorize the books. Tests are difficult, and confusing. When you feel confident, your grades always come back bad :( Recommend the class, but don't get too comfortable STUDY
I recommend you take this course online. She has six quizzes which are worth 40% and she only keeps the four highest scores(very easy 10 question quizzes). The other 60% is a midterm and final, study for these because they are in person but they are mostly terms and she posts the terms to review. Excellent class.
Took this class online and it is so EASY. Six quizzes, and only the highest four grades are used. That's 40% of your grade. The other 60% comes from two tests which are not hard at all. She is very organized, fair, and it's an easy A class. Recommended!
She's doesn't give any work, doesn't take any attendance, but if you need help she will be there ready to assist. I never showed up, only read the textbook and got an A.
4 exams and everything is in the book. Attendance optional all she does is lecture the book, go if you're not reading on your own time. 5pt extra credit before tests, huge help. Her labs are optional as well. Class is boring but she'll do a break if you do go. Honestly she's a great teacher and her material is straightforward. Good luck
You take 4 tests but Your grade is only based on 3 . Study the whole book and know all the terms. She doesn't teach well and there is barely any questions on the test and you have to learn more than 50 terms per chapter. Goodluck
Took this class for CGS 2060. Never showed up to class or labs, barely studied the text book, and still got an A-. All you need to do is read the book to get an easy A. Also the extra credit assignments and the grading scheme make it hard not to pass with an A.
EASY A! Just make sure you study all definitions. I got 100 on quizes and two 70's on both exams and still passed with a B ;) and I didn't study i just read over the tutorials fast so if you STUDY believe me, you'll pass. It's not hard I promise! I was just dumb to take the proctored exams without knowing one bit xD
If you fail this class, I have no sympathy for you. This class is super chill. You don't have to go to class or the lab, but it's helpful. Buy the book. She's also super sweet and gives extra credit before the exam, and the questions for the EC are on the exam, which helps a lot. Overall, wonderful professor, and I would take this class again.
class is not as easy as everyone says. do yourself a favor and buy the book because her lectures are so long and boring you won't gowon't pay attention. study hard because her questions tend to be veryyyy specific
Took this class online. Simple enough, 6 quizzes, 4 highest worth 40% of the grade. 2 exams on campus worth 30% each. She curves but doesn't give extra credit. Do the tutorials and the quizzes. She also posts up a study guide prior to the exam. Not too much work.
Great prof! It helps to go to class and put in the effort: read the chapters beforehand (it helps). For test: study the vocab in the beginning of the chapter, truly read and go over the chapter, DO the hands on tutorials (not just one time). I did flashcards for the tutorial steps and it helped TONS for the test. That was my recipe to get an A!
great professor, the test are not to easy but if you want to pass you have to do the homework and study it extensively. she knows the class can be boring so she usually lets you out early and the extra credit she gives is amazing its the only reason i passed
Very nice lady, but her lectures are boring. Buy the textbook to study from because you're not going to pay attention during lectures. If you do the tutorials and take notes, you'll definitely get an A. Good class if you need a math credit and don't want to actually do math.
If you are not good at math this is the class you should definitely take! Professor Weiss makes it easy for you and sometimes even fun. She gives 4 tests and takes out your worst grade, gives easy extra credit before each test, so it's almost impossible for you to fail. If you aren't planning to go to class, BUY THE BOOK!
Professor Weiss only assigns four exams and that's IT. She offers extra credit on every exam and one extra credit assignment at the end of the semester, but you really have to motivate yourself to study and learn the material. She drops the lowest exam grade, but a class with only three grades is basically a hit or miss.
Only went to one lecture so don't really have much to say on her as a teacher. The class is really an insult to your intelligence; never went to class and only bought the Excel book and got a B+. Gives extra credit before every test and weighs tests based on how well you did. Remember specific examples from book and study quizlet, you'll be fine.
Very easy class. 6 quizzes and only 4 count very simple. 2 tests on proctorU that are similar to the quizzes just longer.
6 quizzes worth 40%, lowest 2 are dropped. Two exams each worth 30%. This class is a pain because you have to study REALLY hard for each exam, if you don't you'll fail. 90+ is an A and she does curve, so its possible to get an A but you need to know the excel and access textbooks stone cold.
Take her class. Very straight forward. There are 4 test but you can miss one. One class a week. The other class is an optional lab day and you don't get credit or even sign in. Please this is the best class to take to boost your GPA. She gives extra credit with unlimited tries before each test!!! Please go place this in your cart for next semester.
I took the online course, and it's all very simply spelled out. 6 quizzes - only keeps the top 4. As well, 2 finals. Make sure to read the book and now the material, and you can easily get an A.. Had to contact her a few times via email, she was very helpful and quick to respond.
It's easy to pass this class if you show up to the lectures and labs. Getting an A will require more effort. Some of the test questions come from what she talks about and the labs. Most of them are buried in the textbook. She gives a review for the tests. I passed the first three tests and stopped coming a month before the semester ended.
You have to go to class in order to really understand what is going on. Gives extra credit which really helps. You can find study guides online that are also pretty helpful.
She is a great teacher. You have to study and READ or you won't do great on the exams. She is very helpful and is always willing to help her students. I ended the class with a B. Wasn't the easiest class I have taken but I would take it again with Professor Weiss.
Great professor, although such a BORING class. EASIEST math credit EVER, it's not even math. 4 exams, drops your lowest score/missed exam. You don't even have to attend the lab to pass, just her lectures and you should be fine, just pay attention. She does a good job with her reviews. Got an A and stopped going to class after first 3 tests.
Professor Weiss is an incredible professor. She is really there for her students. She gives generous extra credit prior to each exam and she also drops your lowest test score. If you ever need any additional help, she is always there. Take her if math is not your strong subject. Study the labs and chapters, go to her lectures, and you will pass!
Very cool and kind professor! This class is 100% passable. 4 exams, not cumulative, and she drops the lowest score. TONS of extra credit opportunities. The matieral is NOT HARD, but it's imperative to study. I didn't go to the labs at all and passed with an A. If you don't go to class, you'll fail. She really helps you a lot!!!
There was no home work, just a quiz every couple weeks and 2 exams. Pretty easy.
Weiss is a good and nice professor and has a very simple grading system, 4 tests and drops the lowest grade. No homework. She offers extra credit before each test, that really helped me pass. I did not go to any labs, her class is way more important. Pay attention to her lectures, she does go fast sometimes, and make sure you study for her tests.
You only have two grades - one from each of your tests. Attendance isn't required so I barely went and my grade had to suffer a little for it. Go to class.
Professor Weiss is simply the best. I just don't see how someone could fail with her as a teacher. I probably went to her class 5 times total and never went to the labs! Just make sure to use EVERY extra credit opportunity she gives and study out of the textbook for her tests and you WILL get an A.
This professor makes the class seem easy and she goes over how to do things on excel however the tests are worded so much more differently than how it was explained. Didn't go to class and tests weren't harder or easier. Get the book and you should be fine
Took this class online and it was extremely easy. Just do the readings of the week, the quizzes are super simple and straightforward, right from the textbook. She is always there to help and will remind you constantly the week before the exams and during to make sure you don't forget(they are done through ProctorU).
This class is not that hard if you put the work in. The class consists of 4 tests that are written and multiple choice . Before each exam she reviews what will be on the exam. If you study what she says then you will pass. You definitely need the book because knowing the key terms are very helpful when it comes to the exams. Study and you will pass
Don't really need book if you go to every lecture and take good note. There is extra credit for every exam, if you remember the vocab and important steps, if you get a B for the exam, the extra credit will boost your grade. There are 4 exams in total and you are graded on the best 3 exam scores. AWESOME!
I took Microcomputer app. for business online with professor Weiss , and she is absolutely great. Very nice and easy to pass class. she gives an extra credit opportunity for both the Excel and Access exam which gives you 10 whole extra points on each exam. theres about 6 quizzes, very easy she only takes the 4 best . easy to pass class.
great teacher! took cgs 2060 for business and it was great to take, not at all time-consuming so you could focus more on other classes. easy class and extra credit, just make sure to study for the tests as they're more difficult than expected
Fundamentally, this class is about learning Excel and Word and if you have basic knowledge/certified in one/both these softwares, this should be a walk in the park for you. The labs are optional and your grades are based off of four tests with the lowest score dropped. Also, she's a super nice and caring teacher! I loved her so much!
Easy class and incredible professor! Definitely recommend. Labs are optional. Read the chapters and you should be great for the exAMS
She is fine but there is no class structure if you are taking this course online. As she told me when I had a meeting with her, it is the responsibility of the student to create their own schedule to accommodate this course. She gave me great advice when I struggled on the first exam and gives great extra credit opportunity for her exams.
Great Professor!! She gives you all the tools to succeed and more. The Excel exam is pretty tricky so I'd study hard for that. Aside from this, it's an easy class where the responsibility is given directly to the students.
Super easy class. Everything is straight forward. The class is based on discussions and quizzes.
She is amazing, she truly cares about her students and is willing to help you out after class if you don't understand. Don't worry about the lab class, go to her lectures. Her examines are not vocabulary tests.. It is more about applying the concepts learned in the lecture. Book is nice to have but not really needed. 4 Exams+ 5 point EC per exam.
This Professor is so amazing! she responds to your email very quick, will help you understand every single concept, and if you're struggling all you need to do is make an appointment to see her (office hours) and she'll work with you. 4 tests drop the lowest one and a little extra credit at the end of semester. She's AWESOME!
TAKE ONLINE. Takes best four out six quizzes. all answers online. two exams on proctorU, but if you do the extra credit you can score a 57 and somehow get a B in the class. Great curve. Easy class.
The online classes are super easy.
Quiz on every tutorial and two exams (one excel exam and access exam) both on ProctorU (u can have a study guide). Allows u to take extra credit quizzes for both exams, u can take it as many times until u get 100%. The quizzes u can take twice and then the highest grade is used. She also drops some of your lowest quiz grades at the end.
Such a sweet heart! Really goes out of her way to help her students and to get to know her students. Explains everything you need to know for the exams. You must do the tutorials in order to pass the class and I would recommend attending all lectures because she says what will show up on the exam.
She really wants you to pass her class. She is really sweet and easy to talk to. I would take her again, just show up and if you need help talk to her she will help you out.
Professor Weiss does a great job responding to emails. Overall the class is fairly easy. The excel exam is challenging but the access exam is a lot easier. The questions on the exams are similar to the questions on the quizzes. If you read the book and do the extra credit you'll pass easily.
Great professor. Her grading criteria is very clear on the syllabus. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT! The weekly quizzes are very easy but the two exams are a bit hard but if you do the extra credit you should be fine. I passed very easily, as long as you do what your supposed to it should be an easy A.
Great class, just read the textbook chapters and you'll be fine for the tests. The content is super intuitive.
She's great! So nice and caring. You only get like 4 tests all semester. 2 word and 2 excel. You'll fail if you don't study, but very easy if you just try. The book gives you everything. Morning lecture might feel like forever, but you learn some cool things. Also, I definitely recommend a non-Mac computer. Macs are practically useless.
The class is pretty easy, you don't really need to go to class unless there is a test that day. Just make sure you read the material and study. You definitely won't pass if you don't read. She gives a 5 pt. extra credit before every exam. TAKE ADVANTAGE. Her lectures are very long and monotone. She'll explain if you don't understand something.
Her expectations are very clear on the syllabus. She doesn't give homework but you obviously have to study on your own to pass the tests. If you go over the tutorials the exams will be easy. 4 exams and she makes the exam you scored the highest on worth the most towards your overall grade and the lowest scored exam is worth 0%. She's awesome!!!!
If you have any questions about the tutorials she shows you in class, email her. Go to her office hours or the learning coaches. They are willing to help you. Ms. Weiss answers your emails quickly and drops your lowest grade. I highly recommend her, especially if you want to know how to use Excel. She's so sweet.
This was a great class. There were 6 quizzes, 2 each month with ample amount of time to complete. There were 2 proctored exams an Excel Exam and Access exam. You are able to use two sheets of notes both front and back on both exams which is very helpful! The teacher also gave two easy extra credit opportunities that you take before each exam.
Also, the book was not needed! The powerpoints has what is exactly in the book. Unless you want the book to look at on your own terms and future wise then go ahead! I overall love this class and learned so much. I was not much work at all only quizzes and two exams.
Overall, it was an easy class. Make sure you buy the textbooks (Word and Excel). The material for the tests comes straight from the book (make sure to read everything in the chapter when studying). 4 tests (drops lowest one). Student-friendly grading scale. Tests are usually 25-30 questions and are easy (common sense if you know Word and Excel).
Her grading policy is incredibly fair and sets students up for success. The book isnt mandatory but it may help you on her tests. If you show up to class and pay attention to what she says, you will pass. She gives extra credit for each exam. She is really approachable and cares about her students and her class. She makes excel easy.
this class is overall easy but her texts are harder than expected, theres lots of quilts but I recommend reading the book, its a whole lot of memorization and not a lot of actual learning, the class is useless
This class is easy if you are good with excel. Ive never met the professor but shes good at emailing back.
Easy A and she does not take attendance. You can study at home from the book and pass.
Prof. Weiss is great! Took her for an excel class, she doesn't give any homework, there's only 4 exams (no final) and to study for them you only need to follow the tutorials in the textbook. Doing the tutorials and going to her class lectures is /not/ mandatory, but it WILL help you for the exam. lowest exam grade dropped, extra cred (5pts)on exams
Wow, easiest class I've taken. Basically just learned how to use microsoft excel and the only grades are 4 exams. But she lets you miss 1 exam since the lowest grade gets dropped. She is super nice and funny. You don't really need to go to class, just review the chapters that are going to be on the exam and practice on excel. Easiest math option.
Her class is very flexible to work with especially if you are working full time. You don't have to attend the class but ensure you are keeping up to the HANDS ON TUTORIALS at home, it is very important because all exams are heavily heavily based on what you do practically with wither word or excel. Try not to miss the one exam if you dont have to.
TAKE THIS CLASS!! Easy A. Very involved professor and easy to access.
Professor Jill is awesome. Her course is very strait forward and fair. She gives a quiz every week and you have two exams. Easy course and lots of extra credit opportunity . This was an easy A and she is easy to communicate with and responds timely.
The professor herself is very courteous & helpful. Summer A was in a hybrid style format - meet twice a week for class & rest online. Her exam contains questions about tutorial examples done in class. Make sure to read/outline chapters beforehand. You'll get a mediocre grade or fail if you put no effort. Class is not difficult to get an A in.
Loved this class! The textbook is KEY so get it. She's a great professor.
This class was simple, just follow the syllabus and you'll be fine. 2 exams (midterm and final) on ProctorU, and weekly assignments that are easy. Overall would recommend taking it.
Grading is 4 tests and she drops the lowest test score. 4 extra credit homeworks which is 2 questions that will be on the test. Test questions are MC or TF and about 20 to 25 questions. Class lessons are not mandatory, but you can expect test questions based on it. She offers other extra credit opportunities also.
Professor Weiss is amazing ! You don't really have to take any notes during her lectures. You'll be doing most of the work at home through the textbook and tutorials and they're really not that bad. Make sure you do them thoroughly and you will easily pass the exams. She also gives extra credit too! Would most definitely take again.
She does lectures on the tutorials you do at home. However, she flies through it too fast. You don't have to go to class but you should to pay attention to the lectures. There is no homework but do the tutorials at home. There is no midterm or final exam , just 4 exams, she drops the lowest one. Take her if you can teach yourself the material .
Just 2 exams (hard) find a study guide. Easy A. See the tutorials and study for the exams and you will pass
Class is super simple & the professor is very easy going. 4 tests, 25 questions, no hw. Drops your lowest grade & gives opportunities for extra credit (5 points per test). easy questions that come straight from the textbook (green textboxes!) and hands on tutorials. If you pay attention in class or do the tutorials yourself you will get an A
easy tests, do book tutorials and memorize the visual guides. GET THE BOOK. cant pass without it. drops lowest test grade. grade to points ratio is lenient too (you can still get an A- with an 87 final grade). very GPA friendly class. non-mandatory attendance, but try and go cause it is helpful. extra credit too
Very easy class. She doesn't give homework, but I suggest doing the hands on tutorials if you want to pass all the tests. She's very caring about all her students and is willing to help others. She also gives extra credits for all the tests
There is really no way to fail this class. There are weekly 10 question quizzes and 2 exams in which she allows you to use 2 pages of notes front and back so 4 pages. She gives 15 points of extra credit towards the exam. Constant announcements and emails to keep you on track. Super easy.
This professor was my first online class professor and she was amazing. Not only did she send out reminders for the quizzes and the tests she also gives you a study guide that will help you and make everything much easier.
SUPER SWEET! I had another professor this semester online and she was nothing like them. EXTRA CREDIT and constant reminders. She is a gem! Haven't gotten my grade yet but it'll be a B or A. Quizzes are easy and you can use 2 pages of NOTES ON THE TEST! This class is a dream. She is the sweetest and I almost wish I had her in person. Take her!
Easiest class I've ever taken... I world take her again and again and again... Easiest A you'll ever achieve
I did this class in 6 weeks and it was so easy. Two major exams and both had extra credit attached to them and one quiz a week. No homework. I wasn't able to take the exam the days it was open so she let me take it the day before. The exams are proctored if you take it online. Take her!!!!
It's an online CGS class. It's really as simple as it sounds. Two pages of notes for your two major exams and open book for the smaller quizzes. Impossible to fail, unless you're trying to fail.
Easiest class I ever took. No need for the book whatsoever and all the work you can find on quizlet. She is very nice and is good at emailing. Easy A for sure
You can't fail this class. she cares a lot and a really good professor. She will make sure you learn and pass.
This course isn't as simple as everyone is making it out to seem. You MUST purchase the book and read its entirety, and it's BIG. The exam questions are super specific and if you don't know your stuff, you can easily fail the quizzes or exams; and there are few. No assignments. However, the Professor sends daily reminders and extra credit.
Probably the easiest class I've taken so far. She says you need the book but honestly, I didn't use it. My friend bought it off Amazon for like $5. Literally every question for her quizzes and exams can be found on Quizlet. It's a super easy class, there was 6 quizzes, 2 exams and 2 extra credit exams. You're allowed a cheat sheet!
This class was an easy A! It literally consisted of 6 weekly quizzes which are found online and two proctored exams. She even lets you have one paper of notes front and back to use during the exam. Definitely recommend
Failing her class is like failing P.E in high school. Amazing professor, always keeps you updated on your progress and overall its an easy class. The materia itself is not complicated. Quizzes are easy and the Midterm/final are ProctorU. I would recommend her, she's amazing.
Such an easy A. There was homework once a week on Canvas (two attempts for each, ten questions in total, all multiple choice). I bought the textbook but I found sources online that helped me a lot more. She really just wants you to pass. There are two, if I remember correctly, extra credit opportunities that are very beneficial and easy.
Sweetest professor I have ever had, so incredibly understanding. Only grades are a few quizzes and two exams which are all SO easy. No way you'd fail this class.
Professor Weiss is the sweetest human being ever. She is so unbelievably understanding, especially during the pandemic going on right now. She truly wants all of her students to succeed, and the course itself is so incredibly simple. EASY A! TAKE HER!!
There's no way you can fail this class. Weiss wants everyone to pass and the class is super easy on its own. Assignments are extremely easy, just a little time-consuming. Quizzes and exams are simple as long as you did the tutorials/assignments. She's one of the nicest profs out there and makes sure you are as comfortable with the class as possible
Shes a doll. Theres no other way to describe her. So understanding and gives you chances that no other professor would give. She cares about her students and really does try to help you in all the ways possible
Professor Weiss was so amazing!! 6 quizzes all online (10 questions a test), 2 extra credit opportunities (10 questions), two exams (40 questions an exam). She was very easy to reach out to and everything through her course was so simple it's an easy A I would take her for any class she taught.
Easiest and nicest teacher I have had. It was only a quiz a week everything is found online. dont get the book it's not needed. the 2 exams are proctored but she gives you a study guide. eassyyy A and she is very understanding love her
One of the nicest teachers I've ever had. Actually cares about her students. Class is not hard, just watch the video tutorials and do a bit of practice and you should be fine. Very easy and manageable class - take it.
Great professor, she explains the class schedule well and keeps students up to date. There are short weekly quizzes and two tests. Always answers emails and cares for students.
Take this professor! She's super sweet, always gives feedback, and the online class consists of barely any work. I would definitely take her again
TAKE HER CLASS ONLINE!! All answers are on google/quizlet, you will pass this class with an A+ and won't even remember you took it.
Professor Weiss was extremely understanding and patient during the disrupted pandemic. Gave us textbook access for the second exam. Quizzes are extremely easy. Gives motivational feedback when doing good in class, which always put a smile on my face. She's super sweet and clear from the beginning of class. Don't buy the textbook, there's a PDF.
Take her if you can. Listened to our concerns over difficulties due to COVID and accommodated us accurately. No assignments, just quizzes, midterm, and a final that all have quizlets you can study from before taking the test.
Enroll with her! You will not regret it, and can thank me later! If you want an organized step by step class, this is it. Professor Weiss is amazing! Everything is clearly explained in her opening video and syllabus. Took this class online... she has great communication with her students. I look forward to taking other classes with her!
I Love Professor Weiss!! she is honestly a gem and will WORK WITH YOU !!! I wasnt able to do the ProctorU because of my laptop and she was completely understanding and gave me another option. During this pandemic she has been nothing but assuring and will make sure you will pass! there is no way for anyone to fail this class or any CGS class !!
Honestly, this was the best class I took this semester, the material can be seen through videos that are easy to understand. There are only like 6, 10 question quizzes that are on Quizlet but 2 big exams through proctorU, she also answers really quick and will work with you to make sure u pass.
TAKE THIS CLASS WITH HER! She really listens to student concerns and tries to accommodate for us as best as she can. Her class and tests are SUPER easy! You won't need the textbook, but the midterm and final are monitored through Proctoru.
You get graded only on quizzes so theres not much work involved in the class but the answers online so its pretty much an easy A
Prof. Weiss is a super sweet lady. Always wants to make sure you're understanding the material, even actually reaching out to you personally via email to congratulate you on receiving good scores, or asking if you need any help if you happen to get a bad score. Lots of easy extra credit opportunities. Class was cake, and she's fabulous, take her!
Hands down the most caring, laidback professor I have ever had. ALL quiz and test answers are online. Weekly quizzes and two exams. THATS IT. I would call this class busy work, but its hardly even work. She gives so much free extra credit. I passed with a 100 and so did almost everyone else in my class. Youd have to try to fail.
Amazing professor! Incredibly kind and caring towards students. Does everything in her power to help students succeed in the class. Quizzes are given to help you for the exams. Allowed a sheet of notes for these exams which also helped. Provided so many resources for students! Very accessible and attentive.
She basically left us on our own to fend for ourselves. We all basically only survived because of the group chat we made as a class. You feel like you're teaching yourself the entire time. Try your best to avoid this class if you can; there's so much unnecessary work, you'll barely have time for the classes that matter.
This teacher makes it clear what she expects from you since the first day of class. She makes sure to communicate with students so that they don't miss a deadline. If you communicate with her, she'll most likely help you out. Use the quizzes to prepare for the exams because they help the most. She also provides a study guide to her tests.
If you are not good with excel, she goes out of her way to help you and allows for extra credit. I am so grateful for her and her teaching methods which helped my stress level. Especially, willing to work with you to suceed. More professors should be like her.
Take class online!! Literally the best teacher I've ever had. Only assignments she gives is quizzes and exams. All her quiz answers are online and the exams consist of different questions from the quizzes. Exams require honor lock but she allows one sheet of notes which helps! She also gives a lot of extra so there is no way anyone will fail.
Shes amazing! Made being online sooo simple! I loved it and would 10/10 take again. She sends you a Canvas message if you havent taken a quiz or submitted an exam yet and thats great! Honorlock didnt seem that bad in the class but all in all Honorlock sucks. She gives extra credit quizzes that you can take, which she uses to make up for it!
the class was super easy, 6 quizzes, 2 exams. she only takes grades of your 4 best quizzes and gives extra credit opportunities for both exams. and even tho we never had meetings she still always sent nice messages reminding ya to do your quizzes, real nice professor.
She is just the best
Easy A. Quizzes and homework throughout the term. The Final is taken on honor lock with open notes.
She is extremely nice and helpful if needed. You are basically on your own but she will help if you ask. find the pdf! I passed by everyone in the class putting all answers from every quiz together as the cheat cheat and using it in the exams. she gives extra credit to help boost your score!
Professor Weiss is a MUST TAKE at FIU. Though this was an online only class, she was always available and took the time to get on a Zoom call with me to answer specific questions. She is fair and really cares about her students. I would recommend her for any class she teaches!
What an absolutely godsend of a woman. Extremely nice, engaging, and wonderful overall. Will send you messages congratulating you on your performance after quizzes and assignments, extremely nice to hear about your progress. Such a wonderful professor, 11/10.
She is an awesome teacher and tries to help her students to learn and pass her class.
Such a sweet prof, she is very clear about the class. Assignments done on own every week and grades come from various quizzes. Mid-term and final on honorlock. Two textbooks are easy to find and cheap! Just manage your time well with the weekly assignments and you will pass! She gives extra credit for big tests and is always available for help!
Professor Weiss was so caring and easy to reach out to, she is always willing to help you out in any way and genuinely cares for the student to comprehend the information and pass with an A in her class. A great professor you won't regret taking!
She is a sweetheart! She will remind you about your upcoming quizzes or exam. It is not a hard class. Take her class!
She is such a caring and loving teacher. She'll personally email you and congratulate you when you do well on her exams! Class is graded by online quizzes and 2 honor lock exams (in which you are allowed a front and back cheat sheet!) TAKE HER!
Not a heavy workload, there was only 6 quizzes and 2 tests (one on excel the other on word). Besides that there is no homework you just follow the tutorials in the textbook. She lets you have a cheat sheet on the tests and quizzes are open book. Easy class would def recommend. She offers lots of extra credit too.
I took CGS 2518 completely online. She gives you several reminders. It is a very easy class. There is 6 quizzes on canvas (10 questions each and you have 30 min) and theres 2 exams (40 questions each and you have 1 hour) & you are allowed a cheat sheet! There is no homework. Take her class! You wont regret it. Easiest class youll take!
Professor Weiss is the best! 6 quizzes worth 10% each but 2 lowest scores get dropped. 2 proctored exams worth 30% each and you are done. No homework and she constantly reminds you of quiz and exam due dates. She is the best! TAKE HER!
Took her accelerate class it was pretty simple. I did not have much interaction with her but the course was all quizzes. You get two attempts at them and there are two proctored honor lock exams. All the material was really easy
She is super nice and responds fast. I took this class fully online. There are 6 quizzes (not proctored) and 2 exams (proctored) but there are a lot of study guides that have a lot of the material on the exams and she allows one page double-sided of notes.
Six quizzes and two exams total. Exams are open notes (only one sheet of paper but you can write anything you want). Easiest class to pass. Not much communication with the professor but she did make herself available at your convenience. Super nice. Easiest class this semester.
2 Exams with Honorlock, but she let you use two pages to put any information you need during the test. Everything else is on Quizlet or on the book if you ever get it. She always send emails through canvas to remind you when every assignment is due.
Always reminds you of your assignments best professor
Lets talk about how EASY and fast this class was! She seems super nice through messages and I wouldve loved to have her in person (online class).
The easiest class you'll ever take and the professor is the nicest person. There are six quizzes that allow two attempts. There are also two exams that are very easy and are open note (the questions come straight from the quizzes). The professor sends out encouraging messages periodically after the quizzes/exams.
the course had six quizzes total with two attempts on each quiz and then she drops the 2 lowest quiz grades. two exams, a mid-term and a final, and she allows a cheat sheet on each front and back. the workload was very manageable and well paced. very easy to communicate with. as long as you do your work it won't be hard to pass
This is the second course I've taken with Professor Weiss and she makes the class a smooth ride. Homework assignments are easy and the quiz answers can be found in the textbook. Only downside is exams are taken with Honorlock, but other than that I recommend taking her!
I took this class online and you can tell she cares about her students since she congratulates you after each quiz. Theres easy quizzes throughout and 2 exams on honorlock. She lets you have a cheat sheet and even adds some extra credit points if you take a quiz. I did this course on a Mac so I was not able to use Access and you can still pass.
This class was so incredibly easy. Exams are proctored but topics are easy.
6 quizzes (not proctored) 2 exams(honorlorck with one sheet of notes front to back)Everything these reviews say is true, just don't be in a class GC. Trust me.
Professor Weiss is really the most caring teacher in the university. Everything these comments say is true. After EVERY exam and quiz she writes a little message to congratulate you for your hard work. For the midterm and final she gives extra credit points which can be used to better your grade in the class. I would 100%take aclass with her again
I took had Professor Weiss as a professor this semester and she was nothing but nice. I had this class online and she had reasonable due dates posted. As long as you do your work on time you will pass. Final was easy.
Weiss was as engaging, understanding, and flexible as an online professor could be. The course material is not extremely difficult, but don't expect to just coast by. You'll be more than fine if you go into the class with knowledge of Xcel but if not (like me), you'll have to pay a bit of attention to the hw. This class is quiz/test heavy so study!
Didn't really interact with the prof that much, but when I did, she was super nice and caring. The course is all about excel and the information can get a little overwhelming since you learn about every single action and button. Make time to study, however for tests you are allowed a cheat sheet. Overall, it was a great online class.
I took this class online, you are guaranteed to pass as long as you complete all the work. The class consists of homework from McGraw Hill Simnet (which you have to buy), quizzes, and the exams. The exam questions are very straight forward and she includes a lot of questions from the quizzes. Take her !
Since it was an online class and we were using simnet, there was no lecture. Professor Weiss was still super communicative with us, sent us messages often encouraging us, and when we had an issue with our access to simnet, worked immediately with the publisher to fix it (on top of the fact that she negotiated a lower price for us to begin with).
She was amazing, do not regret taking her. Super caring will give you feedback and extra credit opportunities. Just do the homework online and you will pass. Tests are not bad and there are weekly quizzes that are 10 questions. Allows notes on one paper for tests. Would take her again!
Would recommend! She is very caring and sends encouraging weekly emails. There are two low stakes proctored tests and you are allowed notes. The study guides provided are helpful. The workload is very manageable for a six-week course, and I feel more confident about using Excel.
Professor Weiss is super chill and has a really caring personality that will shine through if you communicate with her. She doesn't give much work and the tests are pretty easy.
hw=do~25 minivideo lessons w an unproctored quiz+multiple attempts u use a program youll buyuse panther bookpack to access midtermfinal use honorlock exams r hard sweet n attentive 2 emails replies quickdoesnt take extensions she sendsreminders group project a disaster make sure team communicates n contact her IMMEDIATELY when wrong w groups/hw
This professor is amazing. The class is super easy not that many quizzes or exams and everything is online. There are 2 exams including the final which are on honor lock but they are not that bad.
Professor Jill Weiss is AWESOME. She was extremely gracious when it came to grading and the work load is very light. I would take her for every subject if I could. 10/10 RECOMMEND!!! :))
The class was amazing, the work load was pretty balanced, the quizzes are not hard, and the class did not stress me at all throughout the semester. There is no make overs but she removes two of your lowest grades in case that you cannot do an assignment once. She also does it with the quizzes. I definitely recommend the class.
Easy class the only thing that could bring down your grade is the 2 proctored exams but just study past quizzes and you'll do great. A great professor who sends reminders about everything, drops 2 of your lowest hw and quiz grades, easy hw and quizzes. Take her if you can! You won't regret it.
The class was really easy! The exams are proctored but the material isn't difficult to retain. Homework matters the most because that's where you're actually practicing the different tasks in Excel so you can attempt as many times until you pass. The quizzes aren't too bad and she sends a personal shout-out to you if you get a good grade.
Overall easy class with two tests that are open note. Just do your homework and this class is a breeze!
Amazing teacher! Would take her again. A lot of assignments are participation. The exams are easy, you can have a sheet of paper to help you. Cares about her students
Regular workload and long due dates. I didnt learn much from this class b/c fast paced and online but it was very easy. you can resubmit many times and she drops 2 lowest quiz and assignment grades at the end. Easy A you need the book, you can survive on free trial until last month of semester. super nice prof tho; class is chill take her
this class is super easy. you have a week to submit one assignment and there's only 2 exams. the downside is that it's on honorlock, but we're allowed a cheat sheet. you also have to pay $60 for access to SimNet, but honestly it's such an easy A class, i def recommend taking her if you need the credit
One of the sweetest professors I've had. She always congratulates you after doing well and makes it clear she is available. Her class was really easy too but that was not important to me.
Honestly one of the best professors that I've had. As long as you do the light amount of work in time you should be good to go. Super easy class
She seems like such a genuinely nice person. She provided all the materials necessary to succeed in her class, would send congratulatory messages after tests, and would always reiterate that she was available if needed. If she taught another class I needed I'd sign up in a heart beat.
Professor Weiss was great. She drops your 4 lowest quiz grades and is very lenient. As long as you do the online work you have nothing to worry about. There is honorlock during her exams but you learn most of the material while you do the online work. The test has honorlock but the quizzes don't. Overall a very easy and fun class.
One of the best Professors! So much room to boost up your grade and she drops 4 of your lowest grades! So sweet and so nice!
Easily one of the most understanding professors FIU has to offer. The assignments are easy but definitely time consuming. Quizzes are easy too and the questions are used in the midterm and final which you're allowed to use a cheatsheet for. Only one group assignment with 5 questions.
She is a professor I'll never forget. She's very nice, professional, and caring. She responds to emails ASAP. Her assignments are decent and her quizzes are useful for the exams. She allows a one full page, front and back of notes and can be used for the exam. She is always willing to help and wanting her students to succeed.
She was amazing take her! Assignments were simple and the tests were exactly like the exams. She answers fasts and cares about her students.
Very nice teacher, its a excel and access class. Allowed one page (back and forth) cheat sheet for exams and really helpful!
Generous grading scale. easy assignments and there aren't many of them. One group assignment + extra credit opportunity. allows you to use a cheat sheet on the exam, which is honor locked.
Easy class. Two exams with Honor lock but she allows a cheat sheet. There is one group project and she allows plenty of time to get it completed. Very kind professor and gives great feedback.
Easy class. Assignments are through Simnet, interactive excel/access textbook. One group assignment (assignment sheet gives instructions), and two exams through Honorlock with one cheat sheet (front&back). She's generous with grading and sends congratulation emails which I think is nice of her. Good online experience.
This class is so easy, you can get 100 on every hw and quiz. There are 2 proctored exams which are the difficult part but u can have a double-sided paper with notes and get at least an 80.
Best professor online dude. I was so lost and still passed with an A. Did I learn fr? Not rlly. But I passed and yk Cs get Degrees
She is very nice and always sends reminders on Canvas inbox about homework and quizzes. The quizzes and exams are not difficult. You are also allowed to have one page of notes for the exams which is helpful. I recommend taking this class with her.
The class was extremely easy. It consisted of weekly excel/access chapters and quizzes, a group project, and 2 proctored exams. The exams weigh very little and Professor Weiss sends out reminders before every test or quiz is due. She is also very easy to reach out to for any questions and as long as you complete the work it is a guaranteed pass.
I really liked this class. Everything is done at your own pace. There are a few quizzes that are very easy and 2 exams on honor lock. For the exams, you can have a sheet front and back with whatever you want on it. She also congratulated you after each exam and quiz which I thought was nice. Her communication is also good.
She is such an easy professor. Everything can be done when you want as she at least gives two weeks to do an assignment. There was only two tests that had honorlock but you could have a cheat sheet front and back.
Honestly pretty simple course. All assignments are on SIMnet and there is a group project. The only thing to note is that all exams are honor locked but allows a cheat sheet. She is very nice and is willing to help if any questions or concerns.
Professor Weiss is amazing, she really cares about her students and wants them to succeed. She gives a lot of feedback, even if it's just to say good job. The class consists of weekly assignments, a midterm, and a final. I definitively reccommend her for this course.
Great class, the professor sent out congratulations when you completed a test. It is worth it to take this online since it is about Excel and Access. You get to use a piece of 8x11 paper (normal printer paper) for your final exams. Exams are proctored by Honorlock.
Two exams with honor lock, but allows a cheat sheet front to back. She was super nice and always sent us encouraging feedback. Super lenient with grading. As long as you do the weekly assignments there is no way you fail this class.
Despite being online, Professor Weiss was such an amazing professor to have. You can tell she really wants you to succeed. She is so kind, and the class itself was manageable. I could not recommend more!!
She is so nice. Every time you get a good grade she sends you a congrats. I took this course online and for a mini term and the work load is not bad. I got everything done the day that it opened and I wouldn't have to do anything else for the week. 2 tests with one cheat sheet and 6 quizzes open book. And an assignment every week. 10/10
Everyone should take her!
Super easy class with a lenient professor. Exams are proctored but you can use a cheat sheet. As long as you do the weekly assignments, you'll pass with flying colors. Unstuckstudy AI was a game-changer for my exam prep.
Such a sweet professor. The work is super easy and the exams aren't difficult at all. 11/10 class!!
Easy class just make sure to do the assignments every week. She gives extra credit opportunities and also sends lots of reminders. I am horrible at excel and still managed to pass with an A!
She was sweetest professor I had all semester. The class itself is easy if you pay attention to the SimNet assignments. She congratulates you whenever you do well, makes sure to remind the class several times for tests and assignments, and is easy to contact. 2 exams per semester with a sheet of notes allowed.
This class was listed as math but it was all about learning how to use Excel. All the online work was very easy but you need to do it if you want to get an A in the class. There were only two exams and were honorlock but we were allowed to use a paper front and back with any notes we took. Very easy and quick grading since its all online.
the best!!! she is so sweet and caring. there are two proctored exams but I failed both of them and still passed the class with an A. There is a lot of work you have to do for this class but is super easy and almost fun to do
Highly Recommend! Professor Weiss was so helpful when I had her class during fall. The assignments were pretty easy and the grading policy was very friendly; you were able to miss two quizzes and two assignments without any penalties plus the quizzes had 3 attempts. I liked how she allowed us a piece of paper with notes that we can use on our exam.
currently taking the class, so easy, so kind, if you need ANY math credit take her class for the A like the best excel class eva!
100% recommend this for your Math 2 class. She is amazing. The whole course is clear. It mostly consists of Chapter assignments in book, quizzes (open notes), one group assignment, and 2 exams. The 2 exams are using Honorlock, but she allows a whole page front and back.
Easiest math credit ever. She drops two of the lowest quiz grades and HW grades (even if you get all 100). She will remind you via Canvas email if you haven't taken the quiz yet before it closes. The exam is honorlocked, but you can have a cheat sheet front and back. If you need a GPA boost, take her.
Take this professor you wont regret it, she is so nice and compliments you when you do good on the quizes, there is some homework but very easy to manage.
This was my second semester in a row taking her. She's the sweetest and offers extra credit for every test, also drops your two lowest quizzes and HW at the end of the semester. There's so much time to do all your work and the biggest assignment is a doable group project.
She is great and the content of this class isn't too difficult, recommend to those that struggle with math. Gives time and is very helpful for the chapters and the one group project you will have. Work itself isn't to demanding or hard just remember to study for midterm and final which you have a lot of time to complete (is honorlocked).
If you're considering CGS2100, you will not regret enrolling with Jill Weiss.
This was the easiest class ever. I might have spent a total of 6 hours on this class the entire semester and passed with an A. there are 2 exams and they are honorlock but if you get 100's on the homework and quizzes which are all online then its extremely easy to get above an A. Walk in the park
Took this during Summer A! Such an easy class! Tests were honorlock but you're allowed to have notes! Homework and quizzes were easy too! Def recommend!
So easy, more than half of the grade is based on the assignments that you can easily get an A on and she just wants you to pass. Got 100% on all the assignments with barely any effort. You don't even have to do good on the final and midterm to pass. If you don't get an A in this class you will never get an A in any class.
She was an amazing professor and gave clear instructions. There were 2 test, both honorlock but you can have a double sided paper. There was also 1 group project that was very easy. There was a mini quiz once a week but you can use your homework on it. Gave extra credit. Easy to reach out too and very positive. Overall course was generally easy.
Literally the easiest class you can take!! The class consisted of a few assignments with matching quizzes to go with them. 2 exams using honor lock. She gives lots of extra credit before the exams. She's also super easy to reach if you need her. if I could take her again I would. Best teacher ever! TAKE HER!
Rating Online Class Workload. Professor was nice and sent reminders. The assignments are tedious; 1-2 weekly assignments weekly 22 questions with 2-4 steps per questions you will spend 1 1/2 hours per assignment on top of the weekly quiz. Quizzes and exams are easy. Extra credit ranges from 0.5 to 2 points for 10-25 questions (not worth it).
Easiest class you will have!! Some might say it is tedious, but it is very do-able, if you set aside 1 hour to do the work once a week. Weekly assignments are ~20 online walk-through assignments (each takes about a min or two) and a 10-question quiz. Even if you do bad on the 2 test you can pass! I got a 57 and 67 passed with an A.
Great Professor. One group project. The work is simple, but takes about an hour. Not too many assignments. Extra credit opportunities.
