If she sees that you're struggling she'll go out of her way to make sure you understand. She emphasizes group work which is always important for coding classes.

The BIT 143 class is honestly the worst online class that I have ever taken. This teacher has no structure to her class. Taking the online class with her is like taking a class without a professor at all. All that is provided are ppts as lecture but they have no information on them. The assignments have no rubric and we are not taught how to it.

Took her BIT 143 online after failing with Panitz. She has considerably fewer assignments and they are fairly easy. However I would have failed if I hadn't already taken this class before and knew the material because there's ZERO instruction. Only thing you have to go by are almost bare powerpoints that should have some lecture to go with it.
