Ms. S is a very down to earth person. I took her class for CIS101 & BUS212 and passed with an A. She's very easy to talk to and REALLY cares about her students. She is truly a role model that other teachers should take notes on. She makes you get out of your comfort zone, but her ways of doing it really helps you as an individual. HIGHLY recommend!

Professor Su is a great choice. She brings a great energy to the class that makes you want to come back. This is my first time rating a professor and I'm glad its her. So Professor Su business class does require a book and she almost holds daily lectures. Just bring your "A" attitude to class and you'll get that A. I'd take her class again.

She's trying to make students happy and satisfied, but real education is not about satisfaction. It is not marketing and the teacher is not a sales-person.

I don't think this instructor is qualified to teach this class. She's not experienced enough to teach high level and advanced subjects.

Professor Su is really understanding of students and does not usually load hours upon hours of homework. She does not accept late work but usually gives more than enough time, so make sure to turn it on-time. Also includes projects through the semester. Would definitely take again, textbook optional.
