She gives plenty of time to do it & doesn't take attendence but will have very simple quizzes as participation grades in class to encourage you to attend.

If you are taking the course for an easy grade, no problem. If you expect to actually learn anything at all, avoid her like the plague.

Professor White has her class set up as a hybrid class. Its very easy and although the material is boring she really tries to make it more bearable by talking to you about her life or sharing stories that has to do with the material. She allows cheat sheets for the exams and as long as you read its easy to do well. Plus lots of HW grades!

She swears by the test reviews that are never like the actual exam. You can use the reviews as the material not to study, since none of it will be on the actual exam. She seems like a nice person, and shell just talk about her kid during class, but will not prepare you for the exams at all.

This is a easy A if you do the work. Its a hybrid class so you only have class 4 or 5 times. Lots of homework thats easily manageable, plus group assignments. Ignore the bad reviews if you understand youll be teaching yourself youll enjoy the class. If you cant learn that way choose another class. Impossible to fail this class.

TAKE HER ONLINE - if you can. I took her for BCIS 3630 in person and it was very slow bc she would always talk about her kid. I took her 4670 online and it was very easy and straightforward. All the content was available on the first day and the content was easy enough to power through, didn't need the access code past the trial period.

Class should be called Joshua Information Systems because all she talks about is her kid. Does not go over much material, tells you to read about 230 pages of material for the test and gives no review. Youre pretty much doing this class on your own with no help.

I quickly learned that going to class in her course was useless because she just regurgitates the textbook chapters, while still managing to go off topic like all of the other posts say. If you get her as a professor, expect to teach yourself for the next 3-4 months. However, she does keep you informed with extra credit/other things through email.

I would really recommend Professor White. This is my first semester to the university and BCIS 2610 is my core requirement. Professor White does the lecture really well with the slides but she always pops up talking about her son in the lecture which is also interesting. Classes will be boring some days.

Another that I liked (sort of) as a person, but not a teacher. Syllabus was very unclear, dates were for another section and never fixed, and lectures were draining and just a regurgitation of the textbook.

As long as you do the assignments and spread them out evenly throughout the semester, her class is really easy and not stressful. It starts to get stressful if you put your assignments off and do them last minute. As long as you read the chapters, take good notes, and remember the questions on the quizzes, the exact same questions are on the finals
