I took the online class and enjoyed it. There is a lot of homework involved but it you follow your assignments along with their due dates you shouldn't have any problems with the class. I enrolled late and still made an "A" in her class. I would definitely take another online class from her.

Mostly smooth sailing. A decent amount of work and can often be time consuming even when you know what to do. I had to correct some of her supplied files to do homework. Tests are often confusing with many questions challenged. Bad about returning e-mails and rarely posts on the boards. When she does it's usually after the due date.

I took her online class and was very pleased. It was an 8-week so we did 2 assignments in a week, which turned out to be 2 tutotials and 2 case studies. If you are somewhat familiar with excel, it's a great class for the credit. If you have no experience may be difficult. Not always quick responses, but grades fairly. Would recommend if familiar.
