Great teacher. very clear and interesting class. She always is willing to help and make sure yoiu understand. Lots of fun projects =) It's hard to fall asleep when she teaches. She's always excited.
She is one of the best professors I have had! She is always willing to help and I like the fact that she works to APPLY what she is teaching us. She may assign you her own textbook, but don't take it negatively because she doesn't really teach out of it. Lectures are more important. She is always excited to teach.
Paige is awesome. Makes BUS 1040 fun. If at all possible take it with her, she never lectures, class is always fun and interactive!
Paige makes her class fun. She asks you to caller her Paige, instead of Prof or whatever, so you know she's great. Her class is easy if you know a lot about tech. She's a good teacher and always willing to help!
Best class I took at DU
This is the most wonderful professor I have ever met. I got A+ in this course. I learned so much in this course, so just take with her if you can, and you will be suprised.
Awesome professor!
Great, excellent instructor very enthusiatic about teaching and you will learn alot. Projects were fun and discussions were great. She was always available and willing to answer your questions.Thanks for making this class an enjoyable educational yet challenging experience.
Best professor ever! If you are at DU you must take this professor. She is exciting and engaging. I learned more about IT then I ever thought possible. I'm now an IT major because of this professor.
Paige is awesome and the best professor ever. If you take BUS1040 make sure you have Baltzan. She made the class exciting and fun. I highly recommend having her as a professor if you want to compete in business.
Excellent professor, one of the best at Daniels!
Just amazing! I was truly sad that the class ended. She is the best professor and offered the best class I took during my MBA at Daniels.
Great professor, very enthusiastic and helpful. The class itself was easy if you are able to keep up with the work. The class was online, which was a hard adjustment for me. I wasn't crazy about the textbook- she co-wrote it, but having open book tests made it fine. Overall awesome prof, take her if you can.
I took her first online section for this class, and it was one of the easiest classes of my life. She let you work on your own time schedule and all the assignments were pretty easy to do whenever. The best thing was the hardest part of the class was first so during finals, there was almost nothing left to do for the class.
Excellent course. Excellent professor. The most useful class I've take at Daniels. Real-world focus added tremendous value. I started my own online business because of this class.
Paige is one of the best professors that I have had at DU. She is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about teaching. I was not excited about taking a technology class, but because of the way she teaches and integrates real-world topics I actually loved the class.
Baltzan is the bomb! This was the best class I have ever taken. She is exciting and engaging and tells you what it is really like in the business world. Everything in the course is geared towards working in the real-world. I loved this class.
This was an excellent class. Baltzan is energentic and engaging and the material was all relevant to the business world. Take Baltzan for 1040.
Baltzan is awesome - one of the most useful classes I've ever taken at DU.
Paige really knows what she teaches. She has real world experience and is very direct in her teaching. I took an online course with her and it was pretty cool. It was pretty easy, except the cohesion case was kind of a pain, however it paid off in the end. I would recommend Paige for Bus 1040.
Excellent professor! I loved this course.
Professor Paige is the best. Always willing to help and explains the concepts in ways that students can understand and relate to - great professor.
Baltzan is the best professor I've ever had.
Paige is an outstanding professor - one of the best I have ever had. She is passionate about the material and finds interesting ways to lecture. I am always excited to come to her class just to see what we are going to do - it is always something entertaining.
Loved having Baltzan - best professor ever. Learned a ton and actually enjoyed the class.
Professor Paige was awesome. The class was full of information I am currently using in my job - I received an award due to the information I learned in Professor Paige's course.
Professor Paige is hilarious and has made learning fun as I am an adult learner and just heading back to school. I am lovin this professor!
Professor Paige is the best. She tries to help in anyway she can and is always available for any question or extra help. I have enjoyed having this professor and I'd highly recommend taking her course.
This was a great online course and the professor kept the material interesting and entertaining. She was always available and you could tell that she actually cared - a nice change of pace for me.
BUS 1040 was my favorite class, my hardest class as a freshman, but also the most worth it. I learned so much from 1040 that I still use today and it was that class that made me decide to be an MIS major.
Excellent course and excellent professor. Very Funny!
Bst Prof Ever - always helpful and always available. Goes above and beyond to ensure her students are succeeding.
Take Baltzan - she is the absolute best, caring, easy going professsor ever
Of all the faculty, take Baltzan - you will love her teaching style and she actually cares about her students. I only wish all faculty were as good as her.God Bless Blatzan
Ms. Paige is a gift. She is helpful, interesting, and cares - something I had not never experienced before. Yes, she is a wonderful teacher and has provdied me with far more than an education - she has given me confidence.
Prof Paige is worth taking for his course. Excellent, excellent professor. Always available and helpful. Great course.
Always available, understanding, and easy going. Makes the class enjoyable and understands adult leraners actually have lives outside of school - Wow
This was an interesting course and Prof Paige kept eveyrone engaged and interested. She really was understanding and treated all students with respect. A truly great experience.
Paige is the very best. She is my favorite teacher, I really mean it. I had my own own business and taking this course taught me so much more than I had anticipated. It was awesome and Paide is the very best. I now know that I don't know everything and I will keep learning.
The BESt prof
Paige strives to go beyond just teaching and insists that you learn and can apply the material before leaving her course. She cares that you learn - a new experience for me. Plus, she is really easy on the eyes.
Ms Paige is one of the most interesting and funny faculty I have ever had - she does all she can to keep you engaged and learning. She is professional and insightful. I learned more in this course than any other course I have had. Thank you Ms. Paige - you are worthy.
Amazing professor - the best I have had making those high tution bills actually worth it. From her knowledge and wealth of experience I was driven to start my own business - what a gift.
Take Baltzan - Prof Paige is the best online professor I have ever had. She was always available and understood the demands of adult learners. This is the ticket - take Baltzan
Baltzan is the reason I went to school - to learn what I need to know to find success in industry - Thank You
Outstanding - understands adult learners and provides what you need to know to compete in today's global business economy. Take Baltzan - she is the very best
Wow - what more can I say but wow. Great perspective on what student's really need to learn and by far the most valuable class I've taken.
Of all the faculty in the MBA Baltzan was the only one that seemed to know what students really want and need to understand the business world. By far one of the best classes - just wished it had been earlier in the program
This was my first experience with an online course and I was nervous. Paige was such an outstanding professor and was always available to help mwith any questions and I learned more than I thought I would in an online course. Paige kept us working together and reading the s. It was a great experience.
This is the prof to get if you want to learn - she was great - one of the best of my entire MBA. I wish I had her at the begining instead of the end.
Ms Page cares and always encouraged me to do my best even though I was struggling with health issues during class. Thank you Ms Page
Ms Paige is a gift and I would not have been able to remain in school while working without her encouragement. She believed in me and that made all the difference for me.
Excellent class with a real-world approach telling me what I need to know to be successful. Of all the courses I was forced to take this was the best.
nice professor. love her class!
Being forced to take a class is not my idea of a good time but this was a great class to attend and I actualy learned a great deal of information that helped me in my internship
Paige is AMAZING!! I had her for info and the information is relevant and 'real world' based rather than textbook based. She grades on pass or fail but the information is easy to learn. I would recomend her to anyone
I recommend this professor
INFO 1010 with Baltzan was a pleasant surprise and I actually enjoyed the class
Absolutely wonderful teacher and course.
Excellent prof
Just take this class. Tests are take home the book does not need to be read but it does help. But seriously just take this class.
Paige is an amazing teacher. Focuses way more on you learning rather than grades. If you make an effort you will learn a lot and get an amazing grade.
Class was hard. Prof was excellent
I rec prof paige
Great class online good
Paige is great. Class focus on data analytic sand great.
If you do the work you are fine, but if not you will struggle.
Baltzan is excellent - I learned more in this class than any other class I have taken.
bEST info 1010 pROF
English isn't my first language and Paige helped me to learn what it will be like to compete in business in Unites States
Ms Paige was one of the best profesors I have had at TWC. She valued or time and the fact that we are adult learners. It was an incredible class and I learned so much about business in the real world. Thank You Ms Paige
Great class
Understood my needs as a foreign student and learned valuable info
Paige is an amazing, lively professor. I always look forward to attending her class and really feel as though I have learned a lot. The assignments are easy to do well on and her expectations are clear.
Taught me what I really need to know yo compete in business. Focused on my learning and worked with my disability. I appreciated her very much
Paige is really good at providing real-world examples. She doesn't really lecture, so make sure you know the information before you come to class. There are lots of assignments but they are easy (5-10 minutes) so it is really easy. If you pay attention she is amazing and you will surely get an A.
Paige Baltzan was one of the best professor I have ever had. She makes her classes interesting and relatable to the business world. She cares more about you learning then your actual grade.
Take Baltzan - best of the best for the class and actually cares about her students.
Baltzan made sure I got my money's worth and i actually enjoyed the class
Paige is the best!!! Take her for INFO 1020. She not only teaches you what you need to know for the class, but life lessons as well. She is always willing to help you if you need it. All tests and quizzes are online, but you do have to put in the work and time . I wish I could take this class again with her.
Tough class to take online but if you work hard it is doable
Paige is incredible. I highly recommend taking 1010 with her in person to get the most out of her in-class lectures. If you decide to take the hybrid course and don't know stats, be prepared to work hard. If you have experience with stats the class is not difficult at all.
Baltzan is worthy
INFO 2020 is a difficult class - Paige's help was exactly what I needed to understand the material.
Easily one of the best professors I've ever had.
Paige is an AMAZING, like AMAZING professor! Her class was super easy and she's an easy grader!
Paige is an amazing professor. This was by far my favorite class because I learned a lot more than just statistics and EXCEL. It was challenging and worth it!
the best professor
Paige is inspirational and teaches so much more than analytics. She discusses real world business problems, encourages innovation, teaches you excel, and over all makes you a better business student. I would definitely take her again. Shes always there to help. But you have to put in the work. And she makes you want to put in the work! Just amazing
INFO 2020 was advanced analytics. I actually found my internship from Baltzan as she is well connected with the business community. Take analytics with Baltzan - it will help your career
Great Prof
She grades on effort, so you'll get an A just for turning in each assignment. Makes a pretty boring class really interesting, I looked forward to lectures! Definitely take her class if you can.
Learned morethan just Excel and stats but how to think and actually analyze data for value. I'm seriously thinking of becoming an analytics major due to this class.
She makes this class really interesting, I really loved it. She teaches you not only stats but also so much about business.
I took this class early freshman year, 2013 winter. Got a 99% in the class, missed the 1% because I didn't do one of the quizzes. As long as you do the assignments, you get a perfect score, even if it's late. The homework and quizzes were online too, and you always had resources, for the exams as well. Very easy and also learned a lot
I enjoyed learning about regression, simulation, optimization and timeseries - difficult class made easy by lectures and examples. Would take again for 2020
I loved taking her class! I would take her for every info class if I could! She does expect you to read all of the power points and watch the videos before class because she does discuss the material in class. If you don't read or watch the videos, you will be lost. Her lectures are funny and relevant to the current business world.
Advanced analytics was a tough class but Batlzan helped to make the material easy to understand and allowed us to create projects that helped us gain experience. I create an advanced analytical engine to digest the music market and was offered an internship based on the work I did in this class.
Tough class but Paige made it easy and took tough material and made it understandable. I appreciated her efforts.
2020 with Baltzan is the only path at DU.
Fantastic professor. I have a 98% in the class and the quarter is almost over. Read the chapters in the textbook; show up to the lab; actually care about your excel quizzes and projects, and take the time to make them look professional. This is such an easy class with Baltzan. I only wish I could have her again. An easy A, and great to learn from.
First of all, she isn't friendly, helpful, and polite! I don't like her style of treating the students. Second, she doesn't have the best lecture, anyone can do what she does!
I honestly like this teacher. She might come off a little rude, but she wants you to be independent and look for answers on your own before coming to ask her. I took her hydride course. It went well for me because all you have to do is read the chapter, do some practice problems then go to class and practice some more. (attendance is important).
Paige is awesome, best teacher I have had so far. Always there to help you when you email or ask her questions. So laid back. Such a good class, even though the projects take up a lot of time.
Paige is awesome, by far the best prof I have had at DU this quarter. Her INFO 1010 course includes 4 projects, 2 exams (which were take-home for our class) and weekly quizzes that are easy points. Stay on top of your projects and start them the day they are assigned if you want to do well in the class. Great teacher. Challenging, but rewarding.
This woman is a goddess. Don't skip, and work hard. If you get into it, the weekly projects are really fun you just need to work at it. Respect her and she will respect you. Some people get tripped up that her deadlines are rigid but just start early. LOVE HER because it doesn't get better.
Best professor I have ever had. Learned more than I ever had in any other class.
SERIOUSLY AMAZING. Take her.
She grades assignments high. However, the rules totally depends on what she said in class even she posted the different rules online which can cause confusion. If you do not listen carefully, you will get 0. No explanation. She never replies email.
INFO 3100 is hard enough, might as well take it with a prof who will help you along the way and give you an A. I learned how to program and made a great project at the end without the overkill of homework and case problems in other classes. She is just a great person overall and helps you see the bigger picture of business and your future career.
She told us one phrase all the time and it was true, it was "If you put in effort and need help I will bend over backwards for you" and it was true. If you at least put in any effort she will make sure that you do well. She also keeps the class interesting, 10/10 I would reccomend
Ms Paige helped me learn tough material in a way to that was funny. I didn't want to take this class but ended up loving the material because of Paige
Had her for a summer class. Originally stated we had to know all information given for a final test to be taken whenever we were ready. By the end of the first week, she completely changed the curriculum, and started assigning homework, quizzes, exams, and projects. Throwing a bunch of the students off. Maybe a good teacher, just not summer quarter
Prof Paige helped me understand the difficulties of an online class during the summer and ensured success. If you work hard you will pass. If you do not work - you will not. It was a great learning experience - real world and tough. Exactly what I am paying for - I value hard teachers that help me learn how to succeed in the business world.
Prof Paige was always available to answer my questions via email in this difficult class. She even reached out to me by phone to help me understand the difficult material. I had to work hard to learn the material and all of her videos and examples helped me achieve success. It was a great class.
INFO 1010 taught me what I needed to know to choose my major. Paige was extremely helpful helping me explore all of the different majors and I was excited to find that I loved data analytics. I am looking forward to having Paige for my upper level analytic courses. Thank you Paige
Enjoyed INFO 2020 and Prof Paige. Difficult class online but kept up with the reading and projexts made it easier to handle. Great course
Baltzan is the real deal for project management. I used every single piece of advice she gave and implemented in my internship. She also helped me with interviewing and I received my ideal job offer because of Paige. I simply can't thank her enough for being the best prof
Hardest class I have taken at DU and thankfully Paige explained the materail in way that made sense and actually helped me with my business knowledge. The book was impossible, without Paige I never would have understood the material. Take Paige for 2020.
This is a tough class. Many students failed because they did not do any work. I did the work and prof helped me to understand the business models. It was a useful class and It is tough. There were just too many students that did not do any work and made class time wasted with bad questions.
Prof Paige was always willing to help me understand the difficult material in analytics. I would not have passed this course without her lectures that are real-world focused and helped me appreciate the material. Many students did nothing and wasted class time - I was glad Prof Paige was hard on them. Take Prof Paige for INFO 2020.
Paige is genuine. Everything she said was truth - she knows how to help you get your dream job. She cares so much about her students. You are seriously lucky if you get Paige at DU. Most profs don't care and can't teach. Paige is why you pay the big bucks to be at DU.
Loved learning to code from Paige. She loves it so you love it. It was why I am a student at Daniels
VBA was the hardest class I have taken at DU. Paige was great at setting the student expectations and I worked hard and it paid off. Many students did not do the work and failed. If you take this class just do as Paige tells you and work hard and you will get an A.
This class was a bit of a rollercoaster. She started out pretty strict to weed out the people who weren't committed, then eventually came around. Definitely inspiring and motivational, a little unapproachable. However she essentially just gave everyone an A at the end which was nice.
INFO 3100 was the first class I took at Daniels that had real value. I used everything Paige taught me at my internship. My boss loves me because I can code. This class was one of the hardest I have taken but worth the time to to learn to code. FInally worth all the money I pay at DU.
I received my intership based on this course and Prof Paige. It was hard and I had to do a great deal of work to learn to code. Students that did nt do the work failed. Do the work and keep up and you will learn.
I am a BIA minor but now wish I had majored after taking 3100. Course was tough. Paige was tough. Overall I needed it or I would not have passed or learned. Lots of students being lazy and cheating was the only bad part of the class.
Paige is my favorite prof at DU. Ive had her for 3 classes and she is wicked smart and challenging. She opened my eyes to all the opportunities available. Paige is awesome.
Fun class thanks to Paige. Challenging in a way of real world. Mtrl was esy. Course was interesting in the crazy exercises Paige had us complete. I used everything she said aout interviewing to gain my dream job.
I did an independent study for Python with Paige and it was awesoe. I was given the freedom to create any app and Paige was always available to help. If you are a good student Paige will work with you for an independent study - do it.
My internship orientation I discussed our interview processes and I realized how much Paige's classes (3100, 3140, & 3240) helped me during my interviews. The advice to create a project that would help me in internship/job interviews was invaluable. I had a huge advantage through the entire interview process because of Paige's classes.
Take Baltzan. She is the reason I have my job. She always tells you the truth and makes you work hard. take Baltzan if you are BIA major.
Baltzan Python course is my favorite class in BIA. So many useless classes. Baltzan had me build a real project that I actually cared about. I actually enjoyed being challenged and build a real app.
Project Management with Paige was one of my favorite classes at DU. She worked her magic and created interesting activities for us to learn what otherwise would be a boring material. This class was a blast.
Paige is hands down my favorite prof at DU. She is honest, tough, and seriously smart. You are lucky to get Paige in BIA She truly cares about learning, not grades. Shell challenge you. Shell prepare you for the real world.
Love Paige. She did everything to prepare me for my internship interview. She is honest and caring and does everything she can to help.
Enough said. Paige is the best!!
Paige tells it like it is. Shes tough and honest and by far the only class ive taken at DUvtgat actually added value.
One of the most helpful professors so far at DU. I took this course online so I thought it wouldn't be as great but Paige is amazing! The course taught me a ton and she gave great feedback. You definitely have to work hard though, the concepts are pretty tough. Hope I can have her again!
Ive been in business for 20 years and this course challenged me to think about future technologies and their intersection with business. Paige is a treasure and guided my company in new directions.
Took the MBA course for information systems strategy. I had dropped the course twice as I found it largely irrelevant. Professor Baltzan made the course more relevant and timely and made me rethink my career trajectory. Happy she did so, transitioned jobs as a result and am happy with the nudge the course gave me.
