I took the 1 meeting/week section...big mistake! If you know ANYTHING about computer hardware and software, lectures will bore you to death. Tests and quizzes focus on concepts/vocabulary, so READ THE BOOK! Projects are a breeze, and she's always willing to help you.

Ok, if you're about to take 261, just know that the class is a pain in the a$$. Seriously, now the teacher on the other hand isn't that bad. She'll help you if you need it and she's a pretty fair grader. It's just she's SO LAZY. Do not expect to get projects or test grades back ANYtime after turning them in, it just won't happen.

She is a good teacher and I found her easily to talk to. If you are willing to work hard she is willing to "hold you hand" through hard assignments. I think her strengths in this class were that she was learning it at the same time we were, so unlike most professors she did have not have a disconnect to the difficulty of learning V.B.

Attendance isn't mandatory. A lot of material to cover, so her lectures are vague. Definitely need to read and take notes. She puts up practice quizzes and uses a lot of questions on those for the test. A lot of homework, but it's relatively easy, just takes time. Excel and Access exams are open book.

Took for MISY160. She shows up late every single day. and i mean EVERY day. a little forgetful and confused, attendance is not mandatory or necessary by any means (except when you are learning access/excel, or the class before an exam). but she is nice. definitely take if you would like an easier A or to learn how to make a spreadsheet

She was very nice and pretty clear. Easy class, just do the work. If you go to talk to her she is helpful, but she is a bit of a stickler for the university's rules, so don't miss an exam.
