Ms. Pierce is honestly the best teacher I've had in college. I've never had a professor want to see me succeed as much as Ms. Pierce. She stays up late helping students before tests going through problems and answering any and all questions we might have. I can't give her enough praise in 140 characters!! She is the best.

Not only does she teach the computer class, ISYS 1123/1120, but she teaches FBC. She keeps class short and to the point. Never expects anything hard from you and makes assignments easy to be done in one sitting.

You just have assignments due on Fridays, and an exam about every month; just not a very interesting class.

It is beyond me that for a class with literally no lectures and few office hours, this lady cannot respond to emails in a reasonable time. When your only task as a professor of a course is to respond to emails, waiting 24+ hours is absurd.

Very easy to pass this class with a high A. Teacher was never really present but the modules online are very easy to understand. I can definitely understand why many do not like her though as the class features very little of her trying to help you to understand the content.

Super easy course. Ended with well over a 100. Do the work and find resources online to help. Test are exactly like homework projects. Offers practice tests. So many extra credit opportunities that can add a huge push to your grade. Easy!

Easiest class I took this semester by far! Homework is just like tests so it's very easy to prepare for them. Also lots of extra credit opportunities which are extremely easy and boost your grade by a lot. 1000% recommend taking her course.

Professor Pierce is such a nice person! Her class is really easy and she makes every assignment easy to understand. She gives out hints for every assignment and provides a lot of extra credit! Definitely take her for ISYS!

This is the easiest class you can take. The tests are exactly like the practice exams and you just have 2 weekly assignments. There is no final.

Completely online, two assignments a week due Friday night, with retries available to get the score you want. Only 3 tests which were just like the practice exams and lots of extra credit opportunities.

The majority of the class is figuring things out on your own but when I was stuck she always responded to my emails within minutes and gave me extra attempts to fix my mistakes. There are sooo many extra credit opportunities and only 3 easy exams along with the 2 weekly assignments. Just complete the weekly assignments and you'll be fine for exams.

You have to keep up with the work, there isn't anyone that will do it for you. If you can, the class is very easy, will multiple re-tries on everything except test. Loads of practice material is provided for test, and the class really should be an easy A, if you stay on track with the weekly assignments.

Ms. Pierce's class is really easy to understand from the very start. The material she gives out on Cengage isn't difficult, just make sure to keep up with it. Furthermore, she is really open in her communication about upcoming due dates, weekly assignments, exam prep, etc. She gives out some extra credit points & is really helpful through email!

This is an extremely easy class. There is YouTube videos that show you how to do the projects. Its online and you take the tests at the testing center. I had pneumonia one time and asked if I could take the test online, sent her a doctor's note, and she said no. I ended up having to drive from the hospital to take the test.

The class is super easy, but if you need help, Lisa will not help you whatsoever. If you emailed asking for help or an explanation for the assignment, she will tell you to go to the isys tutorials. I don't even know why the University hired her if the tutors are doing the work for her...

ISYS is the easiest class you will ever take. It seriously takes effort to get anything below an A. I'm serious. As long as you stay on top of all the weekly assignments, you can do awful on the only REAL exam in the class and still get an A. I never interacted with Lisa or went to any help sessions, and still did great in the class.

The instructions were kinda wonky and not as clear as they could have been. Nothing against the teacher dont know a whole lot due to it being alone.

Great teacher, she sends out a BUNCH of emails. Most of it might not be applicable, but it lets you know so good tips especially if you have a Mac and want some extra credit. This class is really self-taught since it's excel, but she pretty good for what she can do.

As long as you keep up with the weekly assignments, you should be fine. The workload is manageable, and the class is fairly easy if you stay consistent and complete what's required each week.
