Teaches good.

Great teacher, very easy to understand, highly recommended for good students

She is a very good teacher, but she makes her tests way too hard. They should not be as hard as they are for basic computer knoweldge. She is very nice and helpful though.

lectures are boring but will do just fine if you do online exams and go over the text... exams are departmental exams so can't blame her for the obscurity..but very helpful and nice professor

If people are going to say that this class was not easy, there is something seriously wrong. You just do what she tells you, and you do well. Her questions are not obscure. Rudeness (sleeping) is reason for bad grades and negativity.

This class is so easy! As said above, if you follow all her advice you cannot go wrong! She not only works out problems in class that are going to be on the test, but she tells you specifically what you need to know. Wants her students to do well.

Her classes are boring, but it's important to go cause a lot of the stuff she says is helpful for the test. The test are fairly simple, but you have to know the stuff from the Sam quizzes. Overall an easy class.

basically i didnt even go to class but maybe 3 times in the whole semester because everythin she goes over in class, is stuff you should know already about word and excel and i got a B+. the only bad thing is that you cant resell the packet you have to buy for the class that costs 100+ dollars.

I would definately recommend this class to anyone.As long as you go to class,study the quizzes,and focus on the material in the textbook that she covers in class,you will do great.You can't wait until the night before the test to study,and you have to keep up with the material.The class was much easier than I expected it to be.Very helpful teacher!

boring class but tests are not as hard as u will think they will be. take notes and read the book.. don't do the excercises it's pointless just read

3 tests which aren't hard and straight from notes. no final exam. ~15 quizzes which are helpful on tests and easily make 100 on all. no need to do exercise if come to class and take notes. prof can be boring. if you're M$ certified in word, access, excel, the course should be very easy.

you can make an easy A by just reading the book but going to class benefits because she tells you exactly what materials are tested. tests are easy and very similar to the quizzes. her lectures are easy to understand and she goes through the book step by step so if you go to class you dont really have to do the exercise on your own.

easy A.Must take.

Most boring class you'll ever take.. just staying in class past the first 10 minutes is an accomplishment.. its surprising how someone can take an easy subject such as word and excel and make the hardest test questions out of it...

Lectures are Extremley boring, nearly half the class shows up and alot more walk out in the middle of class. Nice teacher though, sort of hard to study for tests but the tests arent that hard if you study a little

her lectures are BORING. i tried to stay awake. the material is not TOO hard. i say do the examples in the book for access and excel. her tests are a little hard to study for, so just study. she has three tests total. the third test is the final i guess. no cumulative final which is good. she gives out quizzes which you have 3 chances to get 100.

lectures are a little boring, but she tries her best to explain it, and she does a good job. i followed along in the book, and that made the class easier. pay attention to the notes, and the class will be fine

There is a huge amount of material for this class and it is pretty dry. For the amount of material and how boring it is I think she does a great job teaching it. Go to classes and you will know what to expect for the exams. I found it be very useful despite it being boring. She is highly attentive to helping students.

I do nod off in class often, but not for the whole class. She explains things well and is eager to clarify herself if needed. She has many extra notes and exercises posted online and tells you exactly what to do to get a good grade on tests, quizzes, and assignments. Only thing to study for are the tests b/c you get multiple tries for quizzes.

I think she was a great professor. I took her for disc 3300 and received a B. she takes her time in explaining. Tests are not difficult, if you go over the material and notes. The class is interesting if your into Access, Word, Excel.

dont baseyour profs on other peoples opinion. very boring class, material -access/excel is a bit difficult if u do it on ur own. i have a good gpa, changed majors so no longer needed this class, NEVER WENT made high Cs and low Bs on test, A's on all quizzes, and although i will end up with a C, she is a very helpful/accomodating BORING prof. :)

The class itself is very hard and has nothing to do with her teaching. She tries as much as possible and is pretty good. Try to attend all classes unless you want to slack.

She's a great teacher who can explain if you have questions. Problem is the material is VERY boring. As long as you attend class, read the books and follow along with the tasks in the books you should do well. First exam is on vocabulary, 2nd exam is on formulas, 3rd exam is Excel PERIOD. Good professor, I totally recommend her. Ask questions!

OK HERE IS THE TRUTH ON THIS CLASS: You DO NOT need to attend class, go for the first to lectures and then don't go AT ALL!! It is pointless, this is the biggest mistake that I regret doing! Instead of going to her class go to the library and read the chapters OVER AND OVER AGAIN! My friend went to class ONCE made an A, I made a B. JUST READ AHEAD!

GO 2 CLASS EVERYDAY. IT'LL HELP ALOT ON EXAMS. Prof is very clear, & knows her stuff. Take notes ontop of powerpoints. This class is extremely hard 2 get an A in. You cant get more than 1 B on the exams. NO EXTRA CREDIT. 3 Exams. (3rd isnt Comp.)Quizzes r easy. Casegrader gets hard @end. go 2 tutor 4 them. Easy class overall. I studied & got an A.

The fact that the course material is boring is not her fault. I think she did fairly good job teaching. However, relying solely on her lectures is not a good idea. You should read the book.The things she emphasizes in class are on exams. I made my own notes from the book and went to most of her lectures. I ended up making an A+ in the class.

Good teacher.

She's a great professor and explains everything pretty clearly. but she does go very fast. its better to not even attend class and teach yourself the material. quizzes are easy. casegraders get pretty confusing. just keep up with the assignments and the chapters and you'll do just fine. i need a 91 to make an A..

She's a nice professor and knows her stuff well, but the material is so incredibly boring it makes it hard to follow along. There are quizzes and casegrader assignments and 3 tests. This is NOT a blow-off class, since it does require a good amount of studying/ time management.

She really is a nice teacher but the material is so boring its not funny, it was hard to stay awake in class it was that boring. just read the book and do the examples from the book, and you will do fine its not that hard just takes alot of time to do al the examples and read the book. if you read the book and do the examples you will get an A easy

This class is not hard at all if you read the book and practice and grasp the concept. The material is quite boring. 3 exams, casegraders and quizzes. She does go a bit fast in class when doing examples. I suggest you bring your laptop to class and do the examples with her as she goes along.

Great teacher and she knows her stuff. But make sure to keep up with the book and the examples she does in class to understand Excel. 3 Exams and last test was the easiest for me!

Wonderful professor! Explains everything thoroughly. Material easy if practiced at home. Must go to class though to pass the class because would be missing a lot if just trying to learn from home. Easy A.

class mainly covers fundamentals stuff and excel. material may be boring, but it is MIS, after all. i only used excel book to review when tests came around and to clear doubts over material by reading those sections I was unsure about. use all BB resources, please! it will help a lot! adapt yourself to a study method in this class. i got an A.

I had Kathy McCommon as a grad student when she was getting her PHD from FSU and what a great prof! She was engegetic and excited about the subject (PC worksheets) and made the class a pleasure. I still think of Dr Cossick's class as a best of FSU.

at first the class seems easy but then it gets harder and harder. There's a lot of stuff to know. She goes in depth but the whole excel thing is just plain boring.There are clicker in every session so it is wise to go to class to get participation grade. Overall she is a good teacher.

Kathy is an excellent professor. The class consists of three exams each worth 27%,clicker participation, and some easy online homework and quizzes. The material is extremely boring but she does a good job of making it bearable. Also, hot.

2 exams, 1 final (non-comprehensive=]). Online quizzes are super easy (three attempt). Casegrader are pretty easy just time consuming. I recommend you to print out the lecture notes, take it to class and add in side notes while she lecture, it HELPS! An easy B class...so if you take your time to study a little you can get an A.

this class is easy!!you have quizzes, casegraders & 3 tests.you get 4 tries for casegraders & 3 tries for quizzes.. both those averages should be nearly 100's.. tests are at casa, all pretty easy as well-just pay attention in class! no final! and she drops 1 casegrader and 1 quiz at the end. you use clickers in class(up to 3 extra credit points)

she is a such a great professor, she knows how to explain the material clearly. go to lectures,SIT IN THE FRONT, and PAY ATTENTION. if you do that, study notes and practice exercises for the 3 exams that are worth 27% each...you WILL do well. clickers are awesome for participation and extra credit points. case graders and quizzes are easyyy. =)

This class is painfully boring but it's more b/c of the subject matter than her. Its hard to pay attention in class but if u dont then u better read the book(s)/powerpoints front to back and you'll be fine. Tests are MC, theres online quizzes and assignments but you can turn them in multiple times. Should be an easy B for the average student.

Shes the best for this subject. Lectures are a must if you want to pass the tests. final is not cumalitive. there are quizes, casegraders, and clickers to boost your grade. dont need to put in that much effort for a B.

the most boring professors ever...barely failed the class because hardly ever listened and i had to teach myself everything.I drank coffee and monster and everything else and still got bored or fell asleep.PAY attention or dont even take her. She is very monotoned and very bad at teaching.I highly recommend taking someone else if you are can!

Pretty easy class, people that complain are people who don't study for the exams. Each lecture I played games on my phone an never paid attention to a single word she said. Then exam time came around and basically studied everything and learned by myself, plus she's the only professor that teaches this so what other option do you have? good luck!

Not a bad teacher at all. Maybe not the most cheerful, hyped up person in the world, but its enough to get the job done. Most people complain because they don't do the work so they end up failing. Just follow examples in the book and practice this stuff. This class is very straight forward. She walks through all the work and explains everything.

Well this is a tough class let me get that out of the way. But she goes through the book and helps you in the lectures in class. Clicker credit made attendance mandatory. But quizzes are easy, some of the SAM projects are hard and very tedious. And the 3 Exams aren't to bad, but watch out on the first one, its very tricky.(STUDY HARD..!)

Tough class but she's helpful. Exam 1 is mainly Access and it's tough. Last 2 are about Excel. There are projects you need to do and quizzes. Both are easy if you go to class. She has clicker questions; if you have 85%+ correct you get 3 points added to your total grade. The exams are very detailed so be careful.

This class is not difficult at all. She curves exam grades to a 80, so 50% of the class makes A and B's.

Class is extremely boring but teacher is good...would advise to lay attention in class and you'll do fine...teacher is overall good

She's nice and easy to understand. Easy to approach too if you have questions. This class is easy, but you have to do the book exercises to know what's going on in class. Attendance is mandatory because you get extra points through the clicker questions. The quizzes are simple, and SAM projects are manageable but tedious.

This class is a piece of cake I never read the book and I ended up with a B+. I would've had an A if I would've not skipped a few days. But just going to class you can pass. She's really helps alot. I made 100s on everything but the tests. Also Attendance is extra credit, but worth it.

Professor Cossick really knows her material. She is a very smart woman and I think this class was pretty easy if you did all the work you were told to do. The class is all about Excel. She teaches pretty well and there is also a review session every week to go over the material with TA's. You have to take the class for SCM so her or Chin are good.

She is really nice and pretty. I liked having her, even though the class is such a drag. It's a required business course. Drink some coffee before hand so you can stay awake!

She is very nice..Attendance is not mandatory.. clickers are 1%..3 exams worth 28% each and quizzes are easy. SAM assignments start off easy then get harder so get good grades while you can. team up with classmates for SAM assignments because it will help a lot. Just study prior to exam and it should be easy

This is a class where if you do the work, you can make an A. She is really helpful and will respond to emails within a couple of hours. I actually learned in this class and use the material at my job. I highly recommend her.

Easy class, you just have to know your stuff. Mostly memorizing functions on Excel and Microsoft. To the point. Helpful when you need it. I think there were three exams.

Attendance is not for a grade but mandatory in the sense that you have to go in order to succeed in the course. She walks through the spreadsheets step by step during class. There was an intermediate excel quiz and an algebra quiz and a tables/filters quiz, then 3 exams, weights highest exam score heaviest. Essential to work through models.

This class is NOT hard. Cossick is a good teacher and explains the material well. Exams are very straightforward like the hw and cw. come to class!

Very nice professor, but you must attend class to understand because there is a lot of material. Quizzes and tests are not hard if you know what you are doing. She knows what she is teaching! Definitely recommend her

This class is completely, 100%, heavy on Excel. Tests and Quizzes are very similar to the reviews and class assignment, practice those to do well on the exams. Attend tutoring sessions if you are having trouble, but have actual understandings to be able to create business models is important too. Prof Cossick looks really good for her age.

As SCM majors, there is no right for anyone to complain, it is part of the job. Kathy is nice, not condescending, easy going, so class experience is very good. Exams are a cakewalk compared to stats, she is the better of the two professors for 4330. Excel is not s hard as everyone says. One of the few classes worth the money No need for book.

I HAD to attend class and practice the files to pass this class which seemed to be the case for everyone else in the class I knew. A lot of people said she went too fast but she really doesn't have a choice for the material that needs to be covered. Pay attention, work along or take notes or both if you can (sometimes tough). Ended up with an A.

Easy A. This is hands down the most useful class I have had in SCM. I thought the class was very slow and easy, but it appears that a lot of people thought this class was difficult and fast. I might not be the best for reviewing this class, but guess what she's the best professor for SCM4330 so take her.

I personally thought this class was the most helpful class. Yes it is Excel and of course it will not be easy unless you practice and ATTEND class. If you do not attend, you will not understand more than half of the completed excel file. She is good at explaining the concepts. Just practice and practice to get a good grade on the exams.

She is the best and presents the material in a way that you can understand it. Tests in CASA on Fridays and she is there and will answer questions during the test to clarify things if you are unsure of exactly what is being asked. She is excited about her subject and it shows. Go to class and practice and you will do fine. Two quizzes and 3 tests.

This class is hard if you have a MacBook, try to get parallels. She moves fast through the lecture file, so you will need to keep up in class. However she is a nice professor and will stop to answer any question and she is very helpful in her office hours. Take Videos of the lecture so that you can review and practice the file when you get home.

shes a delightful person to watch teaching, think,Sybill Trelawney from harry potter, but less frantic.

GO TO CLASS OR YOU WON'T PASS Record the class to go over the class to study for tests. 2 quizzes and 3 tests. No homeworks no extra credit

This is my first time leave a review on here, but I felt I had to because of how good Prof Cossick was. She is so patient during her lectures, while also being very straightforward. Top 2 best professors I've had. I have a Mac, and you'll definitely need to install a windows partition. 3 tests 2 quizzes, great class that gives you real hard skills.

IF YOU SHOW UP, you will pass. Dr. Cossick is excellent at teaching and sets clear expectations and will help you lots. I don't understand why some people gave her low ratings... perhaps they're the same people complaining in the Groupchats they're confused when everything is on the syllabus. If you're conscientious, take her class. Super kind.

Professor Cossick is a really good professor for SCM 4330. Three exams, which are all Excel based. Practice is key to doing well in this class. There's also two quizzes and an assignment all worth 10% each and 5%, respectively. Easy class if you pay attention and practice.

Cossick is a great professor and incredibly nice. All of her exams and the 2nd quiz are exactly like the practice problems she gives out. If you dont study you probably wont do great but the class is not that bad.

3 Exam and 2 quizzes, watch the lecture videos and keep doing the exam practice questions. If you do the practice questions you will get a high grade on the exam.

honestly one of the best professors. 2 quizzes and 3 exams. she explains the excel material really well. her lectures are beneficial also had videos up if you didn't show up to class. make sure you practice the exam practice problems because the test is very similar making it an easy A. the more you practice the better you do.

Prof. Cossick is one of the best professors at UH, you honestly learn a lot from her. She teaches the material in a way that makes it super easy, but she goes fast. If you want an A, study using the lecture videos and especially the exam practice, it's exactly like the exam! Do this and the class will be your easiest I promise.

She's very nice. If you have experience in Excel it's a very easy class honestly. She does have practice excel files that are basically the same as the exam, so if you go through that the day before and can do that you'll do fine. Definitely go to lectures, she's very helpful in class and very nice. One of the most useful classes in SCM

I worked as an Instructional assistant with Dr. Cossick. SCM4330 - Business modeling and decision analysis. If any student wants to pursue a career in analytics, business, Transportation, Profit or cost optimization, Supply and demand analysis, then SCM4330 is one of the best courses by Dr. Cossick. She is generous as a mom. Haha. LY Dr. Cossick.

The exams are exactly the same as the review exams. Exams are at CASA. If you memorize the review files like the back of your hand, you can make 100s on all of them. Professor Cossick posts lecture videos online if you can't make it in class, and she does a thorough job while lecturing. She's very sweet! I recommend!

Very good professor! Her lectures are very straightforward and she posts them online. As long was you watch the videos and go over the excel practice problems before your exams, it should be an easy A.

Exams are super easy as long as you complete practice problems and understand them.

She is very sweet. The exams are very similar to the practice exams.

Amazing professor. All her lectures are posted online and her practice exams are basically the exams if you go over them and understand how to do the work in excel. Never attended class or used excel previously but ended with an A. Exams are in CASA but not stressful at all. Only annoying part is that you need windows to do the work on excel

Attendence wasn't mandatory but i'd still go, most people were taking 4301, 4330 and 4350 together on the same day anyway. Prof is nice, has material on Canvas, and the exams are just like the practice problems given. Give yourself time to do the practice problems and make sure to have access to windows, as it's mandatory later in the course.

She's such a sweetheart! Her online lectures are well-spoken and easy to understand. She teaches the content exactly as how we are tested on in CASA. For the exams she gives partial credit so if you make a mistake you're not penalized heavily. The software for the last exam was a little confusing but still pretty easy!
