This is one of the most boring and repetitive classes I have ever taken. There are both class assignment and book assignment which required me to do the exact same thing twice in a row. The way this class is set is seems like I never opened Excel in my life and I found it to be a waste of time. You will easily get an A but have a terrible time.
All sections are pretty much set up the same so it does not matter too much on the teacher. There are class assignments and book tutorials for each lesson that you do in class and thats about it. Attendance is mandatory but you just work on the assignments. She is a nice lady and will help you if needed.
The entire class is on excel but Mrs. Faller is such a nice lady. She gives you reviews for the tests and if you do the homework you'll make a 100 on all the tests. Class is not hard at all. If you don't make a 100 then you're an idiot.
The tests are hard if you didn't study even though it is all on excel. There are in class projects and then class assignments which you should always make a 100 on. There are two parts to her test and she will drop the lowest exam grade for each. She takes attendance but i you finish work early she lets you leave
The test and the class work are completely different. The class work is fairly easy although there is usually an assignment or two every day. I hated the way the test were set up. They were timed and weren't all that relevant to the class work done during the week. Mrs. Faller is a great teacher and is helpful. I would take her again.
Such a sweet teacher who definitely cares about her students and will help them get the A if they show the effort. Class can get confusing, but not because of her, but because of the way it is set up and one mistake can ruin your whole excel document. Please take her! The best MGSC 290 teacher out there I promise. Easy A, no need for textbook.
she is so sweet! i had a rough time with the first test but still got an A. She drops the lowest test and class is super easy. she lets you leave early once you're done with your assignments. there's a project that takes about 1 hour to do with your group and everyone i know received 100 for it as long as the basic criteria was met. take her!!
Had Faller in the Fall semester twice a week. It's an easy enough class when you figure out the format. Do your Simbooks, go to class, and you'll get an A. The tests are difficult, but Faller is accommodating (not that heavy a weight on the grade and you get five attempts to get it right.) Sweet lady, wants you to succeed. I would take again.
Terrible professor. Completely unnecessary to teach this class, which is clearly meant to be an online class. All she does is take attendance, and then sits throughout the class, sometimes knitting at her desk. Attendance is mandatory and threatens to drop you from the class if you miss more than 3 classes. You will loathe being in her presence.
She does almost all assignments with you in class so it's extremely easy to do well in that area of class. Exams are a little harder but mostly multiple choice! Overall, she's very friendly and a good professor.
IF you have for MWF class then she does every project with you and you should 100 on all of them. Homework is easy and step by step. Tests are 10 question walk through of different projects and the 10-20 multiple choice questions. Recommend take MWF
She is a great teacher and the class is easier to do with a windows computer.
Awesome prof, very easy class as long as you do well on the tests and understanding what is happening in class
This class is incredibly easy. Faller lets you leave class once you finish your assignments and everything is easy.
Take MGSC290 with Ms. Faller on MWF! She does every project step by step with you and the Simbooks are super easy. If you complete and study the study guides for her tests, they're easy A's. You have one easy group project. Her final was my easiest final; she gives you 100 questions to study and picks 50 for the exam. Make sure to come to class.
One of the best professors I have ever had! Attendance and class participation pays off in the long run. She'll work with you on your grade and extra credit, if you put effort into her class.
Mrs. Faller made coming to a boring class a lot more enjoyable. She is a real sweet lady and lets you know from the beginning what you need to do to pass. The class is mostly editing and creating excel spreadsheets but on certain days she walked the class through how to do everything. Definitely would recommend.
This class was a joke up until the group project. Everything is online and she gives you very specific study guides for the exam but you need to read the accompanying textbook to pass the application parts of the exams. Group project at the end is long and time consuming. Start early. Overall great teacher that cares about her students.
Literally the nicest lady here at USC. Shes is so helpful in class, if you ask a question she will help you. COME TO CLASS! theres a bunch of assignments that are done in class, but its like one a day, and she lets you leave when youre done. Ive been in class for like 10 minutes and left. One group project at the end but its not hard
Awesome Professor. Very nice lady and is always willing to help. Understands if you need to miss a class for important things. The only way you can't get an A in this class is if you never attend and forget to do all of the online assignments. Got zeros on 3 of them and still got a high A.
Such a nice lady! She is so helpful and wants everyone to get an A in the class. In class assignments are super easy, but actually study for the exams. Class lasts like 10 mins but go or you won't get an A. I didn't do well on the exams and still got an A (the final was exactly the study guide).
Ms. Faller is one of the nicest instructors I've had as of yet. She goes above and beyond to make sure you make good grades in her course. She drops the lowest grade in every category at the end of the semester. Lets you leave early if you finish your daily work. 10/10
One of the absolute best teachers you can take. She actually wants you to get an A and will do everything in her power to make sure you can do well in the class. Just go to class and do the work. She will let you leave once you finish your classwork and if you get stuck she will guide you through it. Definitely take her.
Easy class, but a good teacher. Can't ask for much more. Sometimes sarcastic with students, but only the stupid ones. Overall a really sweet lady.
She is the sweetest lady! The class is already easy but she'll help you if you have any questions and she is so nice. I would definitely take her again. My friends in mgsc who have other teachers always complain about having a ton of work, but I've never had any homework in this class. Take her!
Since MGSC290 is required, you might as well take Faller. You will never have homework, she tells you what's going to be on the quizzes right before you take them, and basically everyone got an A who put in any effort. Also, she cares about her students a lot and is always willing to help. I wish she was teaching 291 next semester.
Easiest class ever! If you can read instructions and navigate Microsoft Excel, you'll get an easy A. You always get to leave class early if you finish your assignment, which usually takes about 10-15 minutes.
You have to go to class for attendance, but most of the assignments are really easy, and if you struggle Dr. Faller will help you out. There are lots of assignments and different categories of assignments so doing poorly on one thing won't wreck your grade. Buy the code, not the book, you need it to do the work and it gives you the online textbook.
Very easy class, all online. Don't buy the book, and do the assignments ahead of time so you don't have to go to class.
I definitely recommend Professor Faller! She lets you leave when you are done with the work, and most of the work can be done at home anyway. She's always super eager to help and definitely knows what she's doing for MGSC 290. She goes over the answers to quizzes literally right before we take them, and the exams are super easy.
She lets us do the work in class and leave when we're done and it never takes more than 30 minutes. Seems to be the only professor who gives practice for the exams which if you want an A do them. Great teacher and made the class as easy as it can be. I strongly recommend taking her. Attendance isn't mandatory either.
Ms. Faller is so sweet. She walks through how to do everything on every project and you almost never have homework. She wants every to pass and I would recommend her to anyone. Great instructor.
Imagine your grandma, but tech savvy. That's Lynn Faller. She's the sweetest human being. I recommend taking her class over the online version because she makes it incredibly easy. She's super friendly and likable. Most people finish the homework in class, and there are quizzes and group projects. It's not hard to get an A.
All assignments are done in class. She walks you through most assignments. The class is basically learning how to use excel, and she's pretty knowledgeable on the subject and will help you out with any problem you're having. The only way to fail is to not show up or to not do the exam reviews.
She is a good teacher but honestly just try to take this class online
She walks you through most things so it isn't a hard class at all.
Goes through most assignments in class. As long as you show up and do your work in class, you should get an A.
Nicest professor I've had at USC. She really cares that you do well and is willing to help you at any time. She let us do all of our assignments, quizzes, and exams in class which was very helpful. Also went over the questions on the quizzes right before we took them. I highly recommend you take her.
Mrs. Faller is one of the most genuine people I have ever met. Shes someone that just makes your day better. Definitely take her class because you will have the honor of meeting this lady. She goes over what will be on the quizzes and she provides an exam review before each exam which will really benefit you. I would definitely advise taking her.
She is such a sweet teacher and really cares about all her students. Attendance is taken every day but once you finish your assignment you can leave, usually 30 minutes early. She walks you through the harder projects and gives a nice review before all the quizzes. Go to class, do the exam reviews and you will get an A.
This is the easiest class I have ever taken. At the beginning of the semester, you get to see exactly what is due and when. You can work ahead as little or as much as you want. If you've finished the assignment before it's due, you don't have to go to class. I've never been in the class more than 10 minutes at a time, other than for actual exams.
Lynn Faller is by far my favorite professor at UofSC. She genuinely cares about her students, and will work with you to get the best grade you can. Almost all work is done in class, and once work is completed you can leave. Take her if you can!
MGSC is a pretty easy course, and some professors won't make you come to class at all. Mrs. Faller does make you come to class for the majority of the year, but the work is easy, and she is very good at helping with any questions you have! She truly cares about her students learning and doing well. Definitely recommend her!
MGSC290 is a very easy class and Professor Faller doesn't make it harder than it has to be. All homework, quizzes, and tests are online. At the beginning of the year, we had to go to class but towards the end, as long as you had done your work, you didn't need to show up.
MGSC 290 (excel 101) is a tragically boring class, but it's not lynn's fault. she's very nice. exams are easy if you can read, and you're given five tries for each problem in a excel simulation. grading criteria is very clearly defined. little tolerance for late work, but it's so low-effort it's not a big deal unless you're forgetful.
One of the best teachers I have had. Very caring and wants everyone to do well. The class isnt terrible and the tests are online but taken in class. Everything is fairly straight forward and she makes it easy to get an A. Would highly recommend taking her
Easy class, nice professor. Shes a great person, and I did learn a lot by doing the assignments and review lessons, but if you just do everything on your computer and show up for the tests youll get an A almost guaranteed.
Professor Faller is pretty laid-back and willing to help students that don't understand. The class itself is designed to be focused in-class, so there's usually little homework outside of class. Not a hard class.
She didnt really care if you were at class as long as you did your work. She really cares and is there for you with any problems you might have. Shes a really sweet teacher and I got an easy A, would 10/10 recommend!
She was extremely helpful in class. She does most of the assignments with you and believes every student should get an A. Really easy class if you take it with Professor faller.
Professor Faller is very easy-going and accessible for help outside class. She uploads tutorial videos for all assignments. There are 3 assignments per week, but they typically do not take more than 20 minutes each. She is one of the best choices for MGSC 290!
Easiest class ever! Textbook and work is all online on a website called "SIMNET." All the work is done on your own time and you never have to go to class. Faller responds to emails quickly and said on the first day that the goal is for everyone to have a 100. On exams you have 5 attempts to answer each question correctly.
Mrs. Faller is a great teacher, but the class is also very easy. She is lenient and is willing to work with the students.
the easiest class, 100% recommend. you can work ahead in class on your own pace. she posts all the videos at the beginning of the semester online. you get five attempts for each question on exams. plus she answers back quick with emails and is really nice.
10/10 would recommend for anyone. MGSC 290 is an easy class & Mrs. Faller is a wonderful lady who truly loves her job.
This class is super easy with Professor Faller. There is no homework as long as you go to class. She literally lets you do all the work in class each day so there's a lot of grades for you to work with. She is super nice and will work through the harder content step by step with the class. If you show up it's an easy A.
Mrs. Faller was very sweet and made the class enjoyable. Attendance is mandatory, but you could complete the work ahead of time and come to class for attendance and then leave. Assignments are easy 100s with 3 attempts. Majority don't do well on the first exam but after that it's an easy A if you go through the practice exam a couple of times.
Once you finished the day's assignment, which usually took less than 15 minutes, you could leave. The tests were super easy if you did the test review. Prof answers emails quickly. She's helpful if you ever get stuck on an assignment. She took the time to learn everybody's name, which was nice.
Faller is probably one of the best professors I have ever had. She is very easy to talk too and is very good at explaining things in Excel. Her projects and exams are very easy and she lets you out early half the time. Take her.
Great professor who seems to actually care about her students. She does the assignments with you in class and i actually leaned a lot about excel. She's kinda strict about being late so show up on time and do your work and you'll get an A.
The course material is incredibly easy, and you can complete in-class assignments and leave before the actual class has time to start. Aside from caring about phone usage a bit too much, she answers any questions during her lectures, and she is incredibly understanding when it comes to people's different skill levels for the material.
Mrs. Faller is a great professor. She guides you through a majority of the assignments in class. These can be a bit challenging trying to work through them on your own, so make sure to show up. The exams are fairly simple as long as you study for them, and class usually finishes early which is a bonus. I would 100% recommend her!
Literally could not ask for a better class. She's super nice and goes over everything step by step. If you get lost or need help she is always willing to help. Exams are really easy to study for and the material is really straight forward. Would recommend her over anyone else
This class can be done independently if you are good at following directions and Excel. Lynn is great and walks you through each assignemnt step by step.
Easy class, no homework, caring and funny professor. Do your work in class and you'll get an A
An easy class, pretty hard to not get a good grade in it.
She walked through how to do everything step by step and was more than willing to help with anything that we didn't get if we asked. There were no extra credit opportunities, but the class was extremely doable if you just showed up to every class and studied a little before tests. Just make sure to always be early to her class and pay attention!
Very nice person but sometimes impatient. Says not to ask questions during tests but if you think there's a glitch you should ask anyway. The Let Me Try's in Sim Net are exactly like the tests, especially the final and you get 3 attempts per question. Very easy class if you do them and every test should take you like 15 minutes.
MGSC 290 is an easy class and Faller is a good option for it. Most of the work can be done independently and exams arent too challenging either. As long as you show up to class you should easily get an A.
This class is pretty easy. Assignments are completed in class, as a group, as Professor Faller walks you through the steps. Lots of assignments to cushion the three exams + final. Professor Faller is nice and caring, although she tends to go a little fast and seems to get frustrated when people ask questions. Overall, she's a good choice.
Class is easy and Professor Faller is great! She walks you through class assignments, though a lot of them have step-by-step instructions & can be completed independently. Each assignment has 3 submission opportunities. It's easy to get an A if you do the work, read the textbook, and practice with the Let Me Try's. Easy class with a nice professor.
Goes through each project step-by-step for the class and is happy to answer any questions. Sometimes she didn't know how to help fix problems on the Mac version of Excel, but she posts videos on Blackboard that explain projects. Attendance policy is confusing, but you can complete assignments on your own. Cancelled class almost every Friday.
Each class was a step by step completion of assignments, she didn't make the content confusing at all and would be willing to help if anyone needed it. She would also usually not require us to attend class on Friday and if you finished an assignment early in class, you were free to go. Not a stressful class at all, highly recommend her!
No homework; all material is done in class. Attendance isn't mandatory if you complete the project for the day. THe class is so easy and she is super helpful and caring. It's as if your kind grandmother was teaching a college class. Super easy. The textbook and stuff on Simnet was around $130.
Does all of the homework and assignment in class. If you finnish the assignment due for that day before class, you can go early. If you fail its 100% on you for being lazy.
She lets you leave early if you get the assignment done early. Everything is done in class. Exams were easy. Go through the let me try's on SimNet and the assignments and exams will be easy.
She was one of the best teachers I have ever had. I could not recommend taking her class more. She was so helpful, kind, funny, and knowledgable. Her class was super easy if you respect her, do the homework on time, and learn the material. She was the best.
Professor Faller was the sweetest teacher I've ever had. She commands respect but shows care towards her students and a passion for her job. Halfway through the semester, she canceled all future Friday classes and she often lets you leave class early so long as you've completed the activity (which you can do in advance). I would take her again.
Love Faller! She is very kind and cares about students. Easy lessons that she walks you through. If you finish early, she lets you leave. Plus she never made us come on Fridays! Exams were easy if you practice the Let Me Try's. The mac workarounds were difficult at some points, definitely recommend a PC for this class.
Told us how to do each project in class so there was never any homework. This is a class that is not as easy as it seems, start studying early because the tests are hard if you do not know the steps. Make sure to read the chapters.
She walks you through every assignment and the tests are not hard at all. Super easy, low stress.
easy peasy lemon squeezy
Everything was online work and super simple to complete. Exams were super quick and there were lots of practice problems to do. She was super nice and I would definitely recommend her.
Super easy teacher! Honestly just do the assignments and you literally won't fail. You kinda have to buy the textbook since the assignments are all on there. So no choice. Pick her as your teacher if you can!
What she taught was pretty easy she can be a little rude but it was alright.
Mandatory Attendance is the one caveat of this class. You pretty much have to teach yourself everything, but its easy to do so with the Show Me videos and Let Me Try's in the textbook. All you do in class is work on the assignments with Prof. Faller doing them alongside everyone. Hated having to wake up early, so take online if you can.
SO EASY TAKE HER
The best professor to take!! As long as you show up and do the assignment it's an easy A. In class she'll help you through any problems and the exams really aren't that bad if you just do the Let Me Try's. Attendance policy is a little unclear but to my understanding as long as you get the work done it won't count against you, but try to go
Very kind woman. SimBook was the most important aspect of the class. Short classes but they are important to attend and pay attention in. Totally recommend. Learned a lot about how to use Excel.
Great professor and super nice. Assignments are easy, but the quizzes can be challenging if you do not study since they are vocabulary based. Should have taken the course online though, we got out of class early 90% of the time as well.
Goat every class is spent doing the daily excel work and she explains step by step, but if you complete it before class you can just sign in and leave. either way you get out early everyday. exams and quizzes are easy if you review the night before
She walks through all of the assignments in class and lets us leave once finished which is usually after 20ish mins. Just don't be late, she is approachable and sweet. Study for the quizzes as they're only 10 questions and you cant make mistakes, typically harder than the exams. I literally had 1 or 2 homework assignments per month.
Nice person, and a fine teacher but you rarely have to be in class to see her teach. Class is Intro to Excel, and you can do the assignment in 20 minutes at home, show up for attendance and leave. Entire class is on Simnet. 3 vocab quizzes, 3 excel exams, 1 excel Final exam (she gave an option to take it early), all in person.
Professor Faller walks through all assignments in class, making them super easy. If you do the assignments ahead of time, all you have to do is sign the attendance sheet and you are allowed to leave. She is more than willing to help you before or after class if you are confused about a topic. Totally recommend!
Very Nice teacher. Just show up do the work and you will succeed. Make sure you practice a lot before exams, especially if new to excel.
