Seems to teach data mining and machine learning no matter what the course is called. The course was supposed to be "Knowledge Management" but we spent the whole semester analyzing data sets using machine learning tools. She's really nice, helpful, and sincere, but the classes I've had with her have been mostly busy work.

Very interesting subject. She teaches search engine. I am really enjoying this course!

Hot Topic--Search Engines! She is very helpful. In case you are not able to fix your code, she will remotely access your computer, share your screen and show you the problem! Great Professor!

I am taking this course right now! At the same time, I am taking the open source courseware Search Engine with Python from Stanford. In CIT, duriing these 5 weeks, I learned how to create my own search engine, added to my website, crawl and index my whole website. I cann't judge the open course yet since we only covered the basic. Both are great!

This has been one of the most enjoyable classes I have ever had. The material is extremely fascinating and the professor is top notch. Not only did she answer questions and give feedback but her lessons and assignments provide theory reinforced by practical application. This is a wonderful teacher. I'm glad I took this class and will take more.

Very Interesting Class, Very helpful and really something very different in the I.T. world. Analytics is something I didnt dream of doing before this class. I would advise anybody interested in Analytics to take this class.

Dr. Leyla Zhuhadar is a extremly intelligent person that really knows what is going on in the world of building webpages, technical support, building phone apps etc. I guess you could say she is a jack of all trades. If you show interest and participate in her class you will definitely learn something that you didn't...trust me I am sure of it.

She is a very intelligent person.

I took her class over Search engines. Overall a very interesting classe, you will learn a lot. She is very helpful and her accent is great but sometimes hard to understand. I would definitely recommend taking her

The only CIT professor that was any good. The rest were indifferent toward you and the course material at best. Dr. Z seemed to actually care. But they killed the CIT program with out letting us students finish so I wish her the best. I would suggest changing to another college because WKU will cancel your program with no warning or explanation.

Very awesome teacher. She did everything in her power to make the class interesting and entertaining.

I think that the most beneficial part of this class was learning more about Excel and Access.

The best teacher she was always willing to help and wanted to see everyone pass. This class was very easy. If you love computers and learining this is the class to be in. It helps you further along with access and excel and also opens up your mind to the computer world.

I think Dr. Z taught me a lot about Data Mining and piqued my interests in the subject. I didn't even know I would enjoy this course. At first, I found the course overwhelming, but I learned that this course was amazing along with the things I learned!

If you got the will she got the knowledge and ready to help. Highly recommend any of her classes.

Great teacher!

One of the best computer class I've taken. She is a great teacher with alot of outside knowledge and is willing to always help you. Very knowledgable, if you want to learn, you can learn alot from Dr. Z!

She is the great teacher . She is willing to help you. Highly recommend any of her classes.

I enjoyed this class. It was a little hard to follow at first, but I get it now. I hope everyone take this class while attending WKU.

This class was a bit challenging and I actually wanted more Excel before it was over, not so much Access but Dr. Zhuhadar is awesome, very good about getting back with me the whole semester.

very helpful teacher she want as learing also she teaching really good

Great teacher if you do your part. Take the class!

very helpful Dr i would definitely recommend her to business students

Best teacher ever

A practical Course. Full of real life exercises. The Best teacher in IS Department.

The best teacher in information systems at WKU.

Zhuhader is a great professor. Always willing to try and help. Her tests are all open book. Great professor!

You will learn a lot if you do the work

Teacher dealing a very wonderful with students

its a great class

She will walk you through every Excel or Database assignment. you can either follow along or go ahead. She gives quizzes that are open book. the midterms are open book as well. the final is not. She will literally give you a packet of the best problems and solutions for each class.

Very good teacher and pretty easy to learn class

It was the best course I took at WKU. She genuinely care about her students. She is genius! This course is a practical course where you learn how to deal with real life business problems. Expect to spend a long time analyzing data and building models. Trust me it is the course that can lead to to a job opportunities.

Ms. Zhuhadar is a fairly good professor. Nothing special to note, really. She walks you through almost all assignments and is willing to help you. Very easy class.

She is really helpful.

Best professor in this program. I plan to take her Data Mining course next semester.

She genuinely cares about her students!

Even though I took Dr. Zhuhadar online, she was very easy to reach by email and gave lots of good feedback. This course was not particularly difficult, and was probably the most well-run online class I've taken.

Dr. Z is extremely intelligent and gives fantastic examples for real world application. She is always prepared for class and knows the material. She also has a really dry sense of humor and will hit you with a joke every now and then.

Professor Zhuhadar is awesome. Shes extremely easy to access especially for this being an online course, she adapts to her students well and is so kind. The class is pretty easy, a homework assignment each week but she gives plenty of time to do it. She post study guides for her test that are almost identical. Definitely recommend.

This is a class i had to take for my major. I actually really enjoyed it. It was a computer/technical class and i feel that it has been nothing but helpful and i know that all the things i learned from excel, i will end up using for my future profession. This class has been great!

Great professor! i took her online class and her material was very clear. It was challenging but definitely an attainable easy "A"

I took her online class, so of course there were a number of assignments, but not hard to pass. If you know much about Excel, you don't have to read the chapters to do those assignments. Most homework assigned through Connect, so they weren't hard to pass or check progress on grade-wise. Loved her. 10/10 would take again

Dr. Zhuhadar cares more than any professor Ive ever had. She is willing to drop anything and everything to help a student if they are struggling. There is a decent amount of homework and big project, but she helps every step of the way. I highly suggest taking her for as many BDAN courses as you can.

Dr. Z is a great professor. As long as you do your projects a week in advance, you don't have to go to class. This class was an easy A. There is also videos that show exactly what you need to do to get a 100 on the projects.

Dr. Z is awesome! She will teach you real life skills and help you understand the logic behind things. Homework assignments can be subjective. As long as you try you'll pass.

Dr. Zhuhadar is by far the most dedicated professor I've ever had. She genuinely cares about her students and will go out of her way to support anyone who's struggling. While the course includes a major project, she provides guidance every step of the way. I highly recommend taking as many BDAN courses with her as you can.

Dr. Zhuhadar is by far the most caring professor I've ever had. She goes above and beyond to support her students and is always willing to make time if someone is struggling. I highly recommend taking as many BDAN classes with her as possible—you won't regret it.

Dr. Zhuhadar is the kind of professor who would probably fight a bear if it meant helping a student understand regression analysis. She's with you the whole way like a data-savvy Gandalf. Take as many BDAN classes with her as humanly possible—you'll learn a ton and might even start enjoying Excel.

Dr. Zhuhadar is like the superhero of professors—always there when you need help, no cape required. The work is tough, but she's got your back the whole way. Take every BDAN class she teaches—you won't regret it (and you might even laugh while learning).

Dr. Zhuhadar makes analytics actually fun—never thought I'd say that. She's incredibly supportive and turns every challenge into a learning moment. The class keeps you on your toes, but she's right there with you the whole time. 10/10 would enroll again.

Great professor! I took her online class, and the material was super clear and well-organized. It was definitely challenging, but if you stay on top of the work, an A is totally within reach. Highly recommend!

Dr. Zhuhadar is an awesome professor! I took her class online, and everything was laid out clearly and made sense—even when the topics were tough. It was challenging, but totally manageable if you put in the effort. She actually asked us today to leave a review here, and honestly, she deserves it.

Dr. Zhuhadar genuinely cares about her students and puts a lot of effort into making her online class engaging and easy to follow. The assignments are challenging but fair, and she's always available to help. She even encouraged us today to leave honest reviews—so here's mine: she's one of the best!

Dr. Zhuhadar brings so much energy and passion to her teaching, even in an online format. She explains complex topics in a way that actually makes sense. The workload keeps you thinking, but it never feels overwhelming. She mentioned today that we should rate her here and honestly, she's more than earned it.

Dr. Zhuhadar's class was one of the most organized and interactive online courses I've taken. She breaks everything down clearly and always checks in to make sure we're not lost. You can tell she truly wants us to succeed. She asked us to leave a review today, and I'm happy to do it. she's fantastic!

Dr. Zhuhadar is the kind of professor who makes you actually want to learn. Her class kept me engaged from start to finish, and she always made time to answer questions or offer support. Even though it was online, it felt personal and connected. She asked us to share our experience here, and honestly, she deserves all the praise.

Dr. Zhuhadar somehow made an online analytics class feel like a TED Talk and a therapy session rolled into one. She's always there with quick replies, clear explanations, and the occasional reality check when your model crashes. She asked us today to leave a review, and honestly, how could I not?

Dr. Zhuhadar made learning analytics online feel like binge-watching a really good Netflix series—except you actually learn something useful. She's quick to help, super clear with her material, and low-key hilarious without even trying. She told us to rate her today, and honestly, I'd give her six stars if that were a thing.

Dr. Zhuhadar's class was like the plot twist I didn't see coming—I signed up for data analytics and ended up actually enjoying it. She's super responsive, explains things clearly, and somehow makes even tough topics fun. She asked us to leave a review today, and she 100% deserves it. If you get the chance to take her class, do it!

Dr. Zhuhadar is the real deal. I went into this class thinking it would be dry and painful, but she made it surprisingly fun and easy to follow. She's always quick to respond and genuinely wants everyone to succeed. She asked us today to leave a review, and I'm glad she did—she's easily one of the best professors I've had.

She genuinely wants every student to pass! She's always extending assignments and giving out bonus.

Awesome professor

Dr. Zhuhadar has combined very useful information into her course material that is all provided to the class, is very mindful of student progress and offers opportunities for increasing your grade. Would love to take any course of Dr. Zhuhadar's.

I would 1000% recommended. Honestly I can even describe it. This has been one of the most clear, organized courses I have taken at WKU online. She is amazing at communicating via email, but I found I rarely had to due to the amazing (5-10 min) lecture videos in conjunction with the clear announcments.

Dr. Z always gave clear instructions and videos to follow. She will always be there to help you if you struggle, but as long as you watch the lectures and review the slides, you'll be fine.

I had a good time in the class. She was helpful and flexible.

Dr. Zhuhadar really cares about her students. Classes are usually once a week and the only grading are projects. She pushed me to achieve more and more everytime. Loved her class.

She was so kind and understanding. She gives you every possible resource and chance to be successful in the class

'm really enjoying Dr. Zhuhadar's course—even after forgetting most of my stats! The video lectures are clear and well-paced. She uses video simulations to break down complex ideas into simple, visual steps. Also, she encourages us to use AI for brainstorming and exploration, which has been incredibly helpful for clarifying tough concepts.

She truly wants her student to succeed. She's flexible with deadlines and often offers bonus opportunities.

I started Dr. Z course with zero knowledge of predictive modeling, then finished it building models with Kaggle datasets. It was a transformative experience! Thank you Dr. Z for your time and effort to make me feel as an expert in the field of Analytics during a short period of time.

BDAN 513 was the first class of my MBA program, and I couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable class or a better professor out the gate. Dr. Zhuhadar is extremely well informed and I'm walking away from the class having genuinely learned a lot. Also really understanding when it comes to deadlines!! I can't recommend her classes enough!

Great professor. Lays everything out clearly so there are no surprises and gives great feedback that you can use to implement to achieve an even better grade next time out.

Dr. Zhuhadar made this class enjoyable, as someone who had never taken a data analytics class before and was very nervous about the content. She provides detailed feedback for you to follow and improve after each submission. Rigorous enough to learn a lot through the process, but supported and encouraged the entire way.

Dr. Zhuhadar is an excellent instructor -- communicative, quick to respond to emails, and provides detailed, helpful feedback. The course emphasized hands-on model building rather than exams, making learning practical and engaging. AI Studio was a neat tool I can see myself using beyond the classroom!

Dr. Zhuhadar was an amazing professor. Expectations were clear, and she was available to answer questions throughout the semester. Grading was fair, and feedback was detailed & helpful. Read her feedback to incorporate her suggestions into your next assignments. I wish I had more classes with her; I would take another course from her again.

Dr. Zhuhadar is an amazing professor! She gives phenominal feedback and her expectations are clear for every assignment. Her videos clearly lay out what is expected in each assignment and she covers the material thoroughly.

Very good professor. Clear expectations and down-to-earth. Assignments reflect real-world work and expectations.

Dr. Zhuhadar is amazing. She always has feedback that ACTUALLY helps you grow in the subject matter discussed. She had structured the course in a way that makes sense. If you do master the material covered in a given unit, she'll point to concepts not covered for further growth. If you're out to really learn something, you want this prof!

I highly recommend Dr. Zhuhadar and this course to anyone interested in gaining a solid foundation in data analytics. What really stood out to me was her presence throughout the course. Even in an online setting, she was always available, responded thoughtfully to questions, and created a space where I felt comfortable learning at my own pace.

Through my experience as a graduate student at WKU I have not had a professor put this much effort into feedback. This was all new content for me but quickly became one of my favorite courses I have taken.

Professor Zhuhadar was very responsive to emails and very helpful throughout the semester.

she is very nice

Best online course I've had!

good teacher

She is amazing! Course content is tough, but she does everything possible to make sure you succeed! Gives extremely thorough feedback on every assignment. Take her if you can!

She explained course material thoroughly and gave constructive feedback on completed assignments.
