This was an online class to learn how to design a web page. She explained everything clearly if you had a question or problem. Good professor!
The class was online, so no classroom interaction to rate, but she was VERY helpful with posted questions and email questions. She knows the subject well and her class is very well organized. Would definitely recommend her class to other students!
This teacher is sooo awesome, she is very easy going and understands when situations arise. Her courses are not difficult, nor are her tests. She is just all around an incerdible teacher!!!
Joan is a great teacher! My mother and brother both had her and recommended her to me. She's very clear and thourough. Attendence is somewhat important, and if you have problems with tardiness it could be a priblem. She's a very nice person, too.
SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER YOU WILL EVER FIND!!! I GOT A 97% IN HER CLASS. VERY HELPFUL, COMMUNICATES WELL WITH ALL STUDENTS. TAKE HER WHEN EVER YOU CAN!! SHE IS VERY UNDERSTANDING.
Loved her!!!!!!!!!!
she tries to make the boringest of materials fun, and usually suceeds. she's really nice, but don't take her if you like to skip class because alot of points are made up from "group work" which is completed during class.
AWESOME teacher!! She actually care about her students and knows what she talking about. She will go out of her way to help you out. She give take home tests and extra credit. Only thing boring is her leatures but everything else it AWESOME!!!! Take her.
Very nice, but not helpful. You need to wait for your grade long time, and if you have trouble with homework, you need to find help somewhere else because she won't respond to your emails. Very unsatisfied.
lots of class work - felt kind of loss most of the time.
I don't know what the others are talking about. They must have failed. She is GREAT! Always answered emails quickly, talked to me on the phone, extremely helpful. The best online teacher I have had! I would highly recommend her to EVERYONE!
SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER YOU WILL EVER FIND!!! VERY HELPFUL, COMMUNICATES WELL WITH ALL STUDENTS. TAKE HER WHEN EVER YOU CAN!! SHE IS VERY UNDERSTANDING.
Class is very easy, but it is self-taught. Make sure to turn in all assignments and utilize the discussion board.
The class was online, so no classroom interaction to rate, but she was VERY helpful with posted questions and email questions. She knows the subject well and her class is very well organized. Would definitely recommend her class to other students!
Joan is excellent! She was a great help to me. She answered emails quickly, and helped me alot. She is the best teacher. Take her for all every course you can.
Wonderful professor...very helpful to her students - enjoyed the class immensely and learned a great deal about web publishing.
Excellent instructor- very clear in what she expects, and when explaining concepts in class. This is a great class for summer session. The material is fun and the class moves quickly.
Very good class experience. Really loved having Ms. Alexander for class. Highly recommend her for any CGS class or Web Publishing!!!!!
Yo..Prof Alexander is da bomb!!!!
Rock on teach! Rock on....Her online Web Publishing class is tight, take it even if you're not a nerd...
Very good class...the teacher is GREAT!!
She is great, I just recommended her for any comp. class. She is strict but very helpful.
Great teacher
she is great. she explains every little detail about the programs. whoever is computer iliterate, after this class you will become an expert.
explains everything very clearly... she is GREAT. It was so easy for me... and im def. not a comp. person.
Prof. Alexander is "da bomb." She is fun, and really knows what she's doing. If you want to learn something about computers and have a good time, doing it take her class. You have to be in all the classes, but you will laugh about something, and learn something every day.
She is the best.
I attended her online class. About 1/3 through the semester she disapeared. Frustrating to get a hold of her. Class was VERY easy otherwise.
Very nice, encouraging, and such an EASY class! She's active on the message boards, and communicates well.
Easy on-line class. Easy A. The professor communicates well.
There is pretty much no involvemnet from the professor at all. The class is fairly easy.
Great Professor! Answers emails very fast. Cares for students. This is the first online class that was extremely organized. Recommend highlY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Prof. Alexander is great! The class is extremely easy, but if you have any questions at all, she is there to help you. She doesn't like people talking during class at all, she will call you out if you do. A lot of group work, but you're never allowed to work with the same person, you have to change partners each assignment. Overall a good prof.!
I think she checked the first day of class to say hi and then tallied our grades the last day of class and that was her total involvement. I got an A but it was because the class is pointless and there is nothing to learn. In the end she couldn't even add up my grade right and almost cost me a letter grade. Boring and pointless class.
Excellent Professor! Disagree with last comment. Always answered email. Helped when I had computer problems. Easy to follow class. TAKE HER!!!!!!! GREAT!!!!!!!!!!
How can people say she isn't involved? She gave lectures and personally went around to help every individual who needed it. She is super nice and her class is not hard. She even brought the whole class valentine candy!
Took her for the five week CGS 2100 Online class. I couldn't have asked for a better professor for this course. Log on, Do the lessons, take a practice exam, then the test. the course was as simple and as straight forward as can be.. No over-burdening assignments & fast response to all emails. I highly recommend this teacher for this course online.
I missed her final exam because I thought it was due on sunday like any other weekly exams or assignments. did it happen to anyone before? did u fail the class or did she let u retake it?
This teacher is awesome!!I did not miss the Final Exam, but I got an email that she extended the final for students that missed it. She is the BEST!
Super Kool Teacher. Is very professional and understanding and a huge Pet lover. Easy class if you enjoy working with computers very useful stuff in the work environment,personal or class. Easy to listen to and get along with but just don't be act immature she will call you out as she should. Thanks Prof Alexander
I took the flex start class online. It was soo easy!! She doesn't use the text book and all of the tests are at home. Exams are the same as homework. She responds promptly too! I got an A!
took flex online very easy A no txbk purc access card all assignments test final are given w/more than enough attempts @ practices if you fail don?t know what else to say if you have older version Microsoft 93-97 don?t worry you can still pass there shouldn?t be reason why anyone can?t pass the class even if you?re not knowledgeable w/Microsoft
She's a great professor and explains the material clearly. It's a very easy class (Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Access), so getting an A should be no problem.
she is very very sweet and very helpfull. her classes are very easy and exam too, its all take home exam and is similar to the prctise exam she gives.I had mistakenly register for a wrong class, and she helped my take the class i needed.and allowed to attend her class. she is very sweet and loves her pet.
Great teacher, great course. Very easy HW, a little time consuming. 2 projects took the place of mid-term and final. Although easy, I still walked away feeling like I could design a website using dreamweaver and flash. Highly recommended!
Very easy class (Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Access), should be no problem getting an A in this class. The homework just takes a little time but it's very easy, especially if you already use World and Powerpoint quite often.
If you have to take this class... TAKE IT WITH HER!!! This stuff is soo easy, if you dont get an A... WOW! It's just Word, PP, Excel, and Access. Never used access b4 but when taugh, it was so easy! Homework is online and very easy!
Took the online class. Don't buy the book, only the SimNet website is used. Easy A.
Man this teacher is too damn easy if you cannot pass this class you are just stupid this teacher is very helpful and she gives you time to do the homework in class and its basically a review for the test that you take. Its a very easy A and make sure you come to class on time
EASY online class. 12 tutorial assignments and 3 tests. Got 100s on all assignments and tests. Grades slow, and sometimes she responds quickly to emails or slow. Tests can be worded awkwardly. Overall easy A! Take Prof. Alexander if Data Management is req'd.
Not too bad. Just a bunch of tutorials and a few exams ( which are almost identical to the tutorials). Sometimes the file downloads get screwed up, and sometimes she takes forever to respond to emails. Other than that, it's a very easy class. Recommended.
Easy class, program required but no physical textbook. Must due everything before deadline, but she's very cool and the class is basic computer (like powerpoint, word, excel, etc).
This online course was ridiculously easy. If you are completely unfamiliar with Microsoft Office programs then you may have a little trouble, but overall it is an easy A. Take the practice exams as many times as you are allowed and you shouldn't have any trouble passing.
Super easy class! Everything is online. The professor seemed nice even though we only communicated via email. She responded by email quickly. The tests are just like the assignments and practice test.
EASY EASY EASY CLASS!! A 10 year old could get a A in this class. Bad part is she takes forever to enter grades or respond to emails!! All exams are EXACTLY like the practice exams that you can retake 5 times!!
Professor Alexander is one of the best professors in Valencia.She makes sure you understand what she teaches and give homework on every lecture.Every homework is 100% and counts towards your final. Homework is done multiple times until you get 100% and your tests are given as practice tests.Got A without any previous knowledge of computer.TAKE HER!
What everything says below pretty much sums it all up. Took it online, HW was very helpful, and so are the practice exams. No textbook, just SimNet. Tests are very similar to practice exams. If you need to get this computer course out of the way, Alexander is the one you want to take!
Easy A. Everything is done through Simnet. No lectures, reading, nothing. Just computer assignments and tests posted weeks at a time. Very easy.
Took intro to computers online for Spring 2015. EASY A! All interactive homework on SimNet. Take the practice test 5 times for each section and you'll pass her tests with no problem. All I could really say is that since it's an online class expect to have some basic knowledge of computers going in and she will take FOREVER AND A DAY to respond back
If you want an easy A take this course. Follow the book step by step for each tutorial (14 of them) and very easy tests (3 of them). No real interaction. Just make sure work is submitted on time and it is a no brainer. I wish the course would have gone into more depth of other database systems.
Easy class as long you do the work, 14 assignments, 3 tests, plenty of time to work on it and all points can be obtained as long as you go through the book.
Super easy assignments and exams. Just follow the tutorials in the book step by step and it's easy 100's. Responds fairly quickly to e-mails, but don't expect your assignments to be graded quickly, took a bit of time to get them graded.
Easy class!
Easy A ever. Grade is compromised of SimNet Assignments and 4 Tests. The professor gives you practice exams that are either super similar or the EXACT same as the exam. Basically the only way to fail this class is to turn in assignments late. There hasn't even been a reason to contact the professor.
FOREVER and a YEAR to respond back!!! Easy class though. No real explaining of anything. Just do SIMNET and tutorials.
I love her class! This class is definitely an easy A!
Online Database Management Systems. That is is a fancy of saying Microsoft Access. That's all it is, but it's 650 pages of it. 40% HW and 60% tests (3). Keep up with the HW, because if you have a question, she may not respond for 5 days. The HW is easy, if you can follow directions. Tests are timed: you get 2 weeks from the time you start.
She is a really good professor, nice person. The class is really easy, I took it on campus, but I recommend to take it online because you do not need to be on campus to understand this class. However, if you want to take it in campus she is the one you should take the class with, she teach good. Just be on time and you will get easy extra credits.
Everything is on SimNet. The modules are pretty basic and not bad. Given a practice test that is very similar to actual test. TAKE THIS CLASS FOR EASY A!
Considering I took this class online, this was by far the easiest class one can take if they are an IT major. Some difficulties along the way, but if you keep in contact with the professor you will get it resolved before the due date. Email responses take pretty long but she is a very straight forward grader and it's all textbook modules
She would teach you the basics and then you did the homework in simnet. The homework didn't have anything to do with what she taught in class. The practice exams are basically the same thing as the actual exam which really helped. As long as you show up, do the homework and practice exams the class is an easy A.
MS ACCESS 2016? I almost wanted to drop the class! Her syllabus was worded to strong. The course needs the book to submit assignments. Don't think she was checking the submitted work. The discussions are a joke! Not really a final exam, but it's easy and my paper was pretty much copied and pasted with cited sources. Work ahead to get things done
To be honest this professor is so rude. I dont understand her attitude towards students. She is not caring! She doesnt care what you go through. I dont recommend her, no one wants a teacher or instructor that doesnt understand life issues. She doesnt accept late work NO EXCUSES whatsoever... really dont take her! Youll regret it.
Professor Alexander is such a kind lady. The class is fairly self explanatory. She makes you do assignments in class so you're prepared for the homework and tests. They're relatively easy. Definitely take her class!
Her online class is really simple. Just follow along with the book. There's a lot of assignments but they're not hard. If you do them all it's an easy A.
Very straightforward. Just stay on top of assignment due dates. Easy class.
Dr Alexander's database management class is the easiest A you'll ever take. You just have to go through the book and complete the modules, and exams are open book. I got 100% in the class, and I spent maybe an hour a week on assignments.
She was kind and respectful through email. Her course requires purchasing a Cengage access code as well as having Windows in order to complete assignments. Everything is done through Cengage (except discussion posts) and automatically gets graded on Canvas once completed. Assignments can be time consuming at first, but overall an easy course.
Typical BASBOL program class with discussions and exercises weekly. Work isn't hard. This class differs slightly in that the exercises are not all written assignments. Some are worksheets on technology, but still easy. No mid term or final exam. Final semester project is big part of grade, so make sure to do well on that.
EASY CLASS! Took this course along with 3 other courses so having an easy class helped a lot. Took course during Spring 2021 (online due to covid). You get more than enough time to complete assignments (about 2 weeks for 2 to 3 easy assignments). And one week for each test. We used an online software (purchased thru bookstore). 4 exams total.
my only issues with this professor were that she didn't grade assignments in a timely manner AT ALL & she listed explicitly in her syllabus that students cannot email each other in canvas or we get withdrawn from the class, it seemed very harsh and unnecessary to me. other than that, the class is okay, some topics covered are pretty interesting.
This class teaches itself, and she doesn't make it harder than it needs to be. Easy class, great professor, no complaints! I am taking her in another class she teaches next semester!
Prof. Alexander is professional and easily accessible. Anytime I had a question regarding an assignment she would get back to me in 24 hours. Assignments are straight forward (discussions and assignments each module). She is open to listening to your concerns regarding grades. Final is a program portfolio. Overall simple class and decent professor.
Absolutely incredible professor amazing communication genuine honest and enthusiastic. The course is so easy to pass and she is there every step of the way if you need her. 10/10 would take again!
I took Professor Alexander for CIS3100C. I've taken many online courses and this Professor has it down. Course is clear, concise and organized. Assignments are straightforward and if you have any previous knowledge, it will be easy. Even if you don't, you can pick it up. She cares and leaves feedback on every assignment. You wont regret taking her!
Class runs like clockwork online. Every week follows the same formula of discussion post, quiz, and a somewhat applied assignment submission. This class is very straightforward and stress free. Prof Alexander will also be quick to answer your emails. Couldn't recommend a more chill class.
The online class is basically self-taught, using an online simulator to learn the programs. You'll get a good grade if you dedicate a good amount of time to completing the simulations, which are easy but time consuming. Another thing that's frustrating is that she doesn't accept late work at all AND locks the assignment after the due date.
