This class wasn't easy by any means. But the professor is great and she tries to make class easy. If you take notes and do the homework (not mandatory), you will do fine. I definitely worked for my A, though.

I absolutely recommend Dr. Hegwood. She writes everything on the board so you have to take notes, but with math, this way of teaching helped me so much. She gives really good feedback if you ask her questions. She will also go out of her way to find different ways of explaining things if you aren't understanding something. Amazing Professor.

As someone else mentioned - try to avoid this professor. This is a fairly difficult subject, and the online presentations do not make it any easier to say the least. The feedback is often nonexistent or very poor. The grading criteria is tough and very limited opportunity at a higher grade. Thus even for "A" students passing becomes questionable.

Great professor. The subject is hard, you have to do the homework (ungraded) to help you understand. Practice the class/example homework over and over and you can earn an A. Ask questions, she is very willing to help. I would take her again if I had a difficult subject to take.

Despite the exams being proctored, I definitely would recommend her. Quizes are weekly and are pretty easy, excel assignment basically have step-by-step instructions, and you won't need to use the text ever. The only thing you'll work for is the exams. Word of advice, take this right after 2372, as the first unit is basically just a recap of that.

I'm not a fan of statistics at all, but Dr. Hegwood manages to make the class very manageable. You'll have 7 Quizzes and she drops the two lowest. The total of those equal an exam grade. Excel assignments, which are not difficult equal an exam grade. 4 exams + cumulative final that can replace your lowest exam. Quiz's are harder than exams.

Took her online. The class has WAY too much calculations. This is a junior level business class and as someone terrible at math, this class is laughably difficult. I hate math-- but I can do it if provided with examples. The 'examples' provided are convoluted and unorganized. Absolutely no way on EARTH would I ever take her again.

I do not recommend taking this professor, Im sure she can be nice though. I know this semester was hard on everyone. She showed no sympathy. I had COVID and emailed her a few days before a scheduled exam letting her know. (She only allows one day to take the exam) I asked if it would be possible for me to take it on a later date. She told me no.

Exams are two days after the last quiz and use the lockdown browser. She only lets you use her formula sheets (don't dare to write anything on them) and no notes allowed on exams or quizzes. The subject is already difficult to understand from normal math. she does extend HW past the due date but all is due the same week as the exam.

Super HARD class BUT, the Professor is helpful and readily available to help along the way. Do your homework and the quizzes. You will be allowed to take them up to 3 times. Even if you score high on your first try, attempt the other 2 tries. Trust me, this will help you during your final. The questions from the final are from your quizzes.

Dr. Hegwood is by far the better BANA professor compared to other options at SHSU. This course material is a lot, and not really applicable to real life needs. However, after taking the first BANA with the other professor option, I can guarantee you should sign up for Dr. Hegwood's class. She tries to connect the work to real world scenarios.

This class is hard enough as it is, but Natalie has a video for every single topic that she goes over online. This is a class where you HAVE to make sure you understand the material before moving on. Tests are proctored and you do have formula sheet(s) to use as well as scratch paper, but you are unable to write on them before the test.

Professor Hegwood wasn't a bad professor she replied fast and stuck to the rubric. However, her class was just extremely difficult for me personally. Her lectures were hard to understand and I felt needed to be explained better. (if you are good with the subject you'll be fine, I wasn't) 4 proctored tests, 10 quizzes, and 10 excel assignments.

Everything is laid out clear. Average workload. Uses the ebook and its homework problems/ excel exercises . Be prepared for 2-4 free response questions requiring u to type out each step. Sometimes worth 15 or more pts each out of a 22 question test- but she did give partial credit for the portions you got correct in the answer. Optional Final.

BANA is going to be a hard class no matter who you take. I like Hegwoods online portal. Each chapter had lecture videos and a quiz due each week. The lecture video are short (less than 10 minutes) but they are straight to point so you dont waste any time trying to figure out what is going to be on the test. The class is set up perfectly for online.
