Dr. Kersey is one cool cat. Don't let computers intimidate you if you don't have much experience, this course is a walk in the park and an easy A if you complete the assignments as instructed and post in the discussion board as required (web course.) I wish she would use spell check on her e-mails to us though. That doesn't look too professional.

She gives generic responses to your questions/concerns. She's terrible at explaining the assignment and if you make one mistake expect to only be given half credit.

Would take again

Professor Kersey is passionate about what she teaches, there was a lot of homework . Her discussion boards are confusing at first but you get the hang later. The final project is worth 300 points and it took me a whole week to complete so make sure you start early. Sometimes I had lags with the SIMnet lessons which was frustrating. overall good
