She is one of, if not the hardest classes to take. She expects all of her students to be an analytics major when majority of her class is not. The final is so hard because it's all cumulative so you really don't know what is gonna be on it. Just need the credit thats why I am only taking this class.

Honestly one of my favorite professors! Had her for BUAL2600 & BUAL2650. If you don't go to class you WILL be confused! Her lectures are easy to follow and she will answer any questions you have. I think she teaches the material in the best way possible considering the information can be more difficult. Made an A in 2600 and prob an A or B for 2650

I have a mid-A so far, but still have the last test and final to go. She's a good teacher, the information can be a lot at times and there is a lot to memorize, but she is very clear with what's going to be on the test and what to know. Show up to class and take notes and you'll be fine. Easy pass, a bit harder for an A but doable.

Very lecture heavy. Tests aren't very difficult, but the questions are worded confusingly. For example, "no less than X" instead of just saying greater than. For some of the questions, all of the choices could be technically correct so that gets confusing as well. The homework lets you take multiple attempts so that can always get a 100% on them.

Professor Gramling seems like a lovely lady outside of teaching. Unfortunately though, this class is so unnecessarily hard. With only 3 exams (one being the final) that basically determine your grade. I have taken two exams in her class this year and the averages were a 68 and 70. No curve.

To be honest, Gramling is a great professor who really cares about what she is teaching and you can tell she is passionate. The concepts in this class are fairly easy and do not go beyond your basic high school stats class. That being said, the tests are annoyingly tricky so prior knowledge of stats before the class is helpful and there is no scale

I took this class as a requirement for my economics degree in place of stats. The entire class she talks about being savvy with business technology however she uses printed out PowerPoints instead of displaying the PowerPoint on the incredibly large screen in lowder 113. The lectures are unhelpful and her class is not worth taking.

I personally really enjoyed Professor Gramling's class. I felt very prepared for 2650 when I took it the next semester. Attendance isn't mandatory but if you go to all the lectures, you aren't going to need to spend as much time studying for exams. Homework is a way to get easy points. She was very helpful during office hours and through email.

Consistently condescending, unwilling to help students, and unprepared for her own lectures which amount to very little.

Adding injury to insult, her exam questions are extremely poorly worded, but don't ask for clarification, she wont provide it.

This professor was unprepared and unhelpful. I felt dismissed, and her lectures were difficult to follow. When I asked for clarification during office hours, she just said, "I covered this in class," without offering any real assistance. There's no extra credit, and she's not approachable.

I had Mrs. Grambling for BUSI 2650 and at first was very skeptical due to her low ratings; however, I have nothing but positive things to say about this class and professor. If you attend every class and pay attention you will be fine. Her tests are all multiple choice and to me were very easy, and a final that can replace lowest test score.
