Awesome teacher. Extremely helpful. Wants students to learn what they are being taught. Highly recommended!!!!!
Mrs. Wells is the best. She is very understanding and a great teacher. I highly recommend her!!!!!
Hey Mrs. Wells, thought, I would boost your score!!!! Start your own company and let me work for you.....Where's my red stapler???????
Can't go wrong with the Wellses!!!
DS 218 & DS 318 - The most caring prof I have ever meet.
Awesome teacher!! FINALLY a teacher that cares about the student!!!!!!!!!!
This class tends to be difficult for some, but Mrs. Wells tries her best to help everyone as much as she can. TAKE HER! She's the best.
Very easy and very helpful.
Very helpful and understanding. She actually cares about the student. Great class. Do the work and study a bit and you'll get an A . Great teach =) highly recommended!
Wonderful teacher. Finally someone who you can understand when they teach, she actually teaches.
She'll know your name and she'll treat you like a real person. She's wonderful!
I'm a MIS major, and i'm going to try to get her again. She makes everything clear (even though i knew 70% of the material anyway). She is very helpful and knoledeable. I would recommend her to anyone
Mrs. Wells is great, she is the most understanding teacher I have ever had, she really knows what life is like, unlike some teachers that think your life revolves around their class!!!
extremely easy, great teacher, knows what is important and whats not. Doesn't give you busy work.
great teacher, helps you when you need it. Gives you chances to make a good grade... definitely recommend.
Had her for advisor. But if your in Doc's classes, then you know that she can help you there too. Their offices are more like student lounges where people help each other. She can explain what Doc just said to you in your terms. --SP '02 grad
there's no better word "EXCELLENT!"
Dr. Wells was very helpful. Although this was a basic class, she made it fun.
Susan makes sure her students understand the material before they get out the door.
Has to be 1 of the best professors on campus, if you aren't a complete idiot. I recommend her 110% to all incoming students! Made every class as enjoyable as possible and co-instructed 490 with her husband, Stuart (Doc), and made it fun everyday! A++!
The class is easy yet you still learn. Fairly easy tests if you pay any attention to class.
Class is very easy. Mrs. Wells makes the material which is very dry as interesting and painless as possible.
Great lady...very nice! Helps students in any way she can. Lots of fun!
Easy class! If you go to class and half listen, you will get an A. Great teacher, very willing to help.
Great and easy teacher. Glad to help, and always an easy A.
Excellent teacher. Very helpful and nice. Learned a lot of computer basics. Take her for this class.
Susan Wells is more than a teacher, she's an inspiration! I can't think of a better instructor at Tech. Take her for anything!
makes class interesting and T/TR classes leave after 1/2 an hour most of the time they actually meet. makes things amazingly simple and is always willing to help and work through things.
A waste of my time. Gotta be a better teacher for this course. Dosn't teach so we don't learn.
Easy class. Halfway listen, and go to class. All you have to do is highlight what she talks about in the book and study that. Second test is what you had on the first test + a couple new questions. Great Prof.
What a joke. I want my money back. She's missed half of the classes. Take Mr. Finegan and learn something.
very easy
Did not learn one ounce of information. Missed half the classes and only she gives misleading information. If you want an "A" take her class. If you want to learn something, wait until she leaves TTU.
If your the type who comes to college to learn then keep looking for mr. finnegan ull find him. Wells is easy cuz you donnt learn anything. I took her and knew more than she did. I could have taught the class. Never comes to class half the time.
The class is not as easy as these people make it out to be. Class is canceled most of the time, so she doesn't have time to teach. We pretty much learn it on our own. Doesn't take many grades so you have to pass every test to make a decent grade. She is nice, but what a joke of a class!!
Very Very nice hope to have her in more classes
Mrs. Wells is so awesome!! She is very understanding when it comes to your ability with computers!!!! She gives you alot of time to work on projects!! She is very willing to help when you need it!! Try your hardest to take her class!!!
It sounds like she has been entering her own ratings again. What a joke, and waste of tuition money.
Class was always cancelled. But she was easy!! Work at your own pace and you don't have to do the homework if you don't want.
Really easy.. class gets cancelled alot. Shouldn't have a problem making an A
She is a nice person, but not a great teacher. Class was always canceled, so everyone had to teach theirselves and didn't end up making a good grade. This was my lowest grade in any class taken at TTU. I know I could have done better if someone would have taught me how to do the work!
VERY EASY A!!!! She made this class a joke! She was always busy and cancelled class a lot!! If you're looking for an easy A elective take this course!
easy, but not a good teacher, has a vendetta on students who she knows are democratic
She's a joke. Period. She misses class more than students do, which is good. Tests are EASY. This is as EASY A. I hate to "recommend" her, but DO take her. No homework, and "excel" test, and a multiple choice test is all we had this semester. EASY
She is very EASY. Cancelled class at least once a week. Great computer teacher and very helpful! Go to class and she'll give you 100 extra credit points. Only had 2 tests and a few homework assignments. Sooo easy!!
class was very easy and she was nice.
her health insurance must be high for the amount time she stays "sick".
Great Teacher. An easy A as long as you go to class.
nice lady, very helpful and clear. would recommend her.
Easy class... basics of what makes a computer, basics of Excel and powerpoint! Not hard at all... Oh and she quit canceling classes cause so many people wrote that on here!! Oh well. It was still super easy. She's really nice and down to earth though!
I think she was a good teacher. She didn't cancel classes like everyone claims she did. I took her last spring and she cancelled classes but it wasn't everyday. I don't understand why everyone is complaining about Mrs. Wells she was very easy but only if you did your work. Don't think you can just not go to class and not do your homework.
I love Mrs. Wells ! she talks about all we neeed to know about computers, excel, and so on but she goes in depth about how the internet and certain inventions have affected our society ! she is always willing to help - but excel is hard and you need to go to class ! she has cancled a couple of times but then again, who hasn't!DON't Get Anyone else!
You have to be an idiot not to make an A in her class. I didn't make anything below a 100 in her class. EASY EASY 3 hour A.
Very easy! Nice person that wants be a buddy to all of the class members. Would take her again if she teaches anything I need. If you do not make an A in this class you are retarded. I never got anything below a 100 even on the exams. Take this if you need it.
Took her in May,she is an OK teacher, not the greatest. She tends to pick her favorites. Class was an easy A as long as you payed attention.
She's really funny and easy and will almost ALWAYS let class out early. Its an easy A.
Easy!
Very good class! Cancels class at least once a week and almost every class she lets out early. Tests are easy and class is fun. Get this class!!
Sorry excuse for a college teacher. Almost NEVER there, picks favorites (has little inside jokes with some, texts others when class is canceled and doesn't bother to tell everyone else). One week we missed all 3 classes.never bothered to send an email on any of the days. Had class only 2/3 of the time. Final was a breeze.only time you need the book
She is a great teacher! Very friendly...and loves to have class discussions. Much easier than the DS2810 class I tried to take last semester and had to drop. She does cancel class a lot, but you still get a chance to learn what you need to learn.
another cancelled class today. ridiculous. I want a refund of my tuition.
A waste of my money. Does this woman get paid our tax dollars and tuition not to teach? Take Mr. Finegan and learn something.
Excellent Teacher, hardly ever has class. The best to take for DS2810
I really enjoyed this class a lot. I started out with a different professor and then switched into her class. She will keep going over material until she is sure that everyone understands exactly how to do it. She does miss a lot of class, which can be a good an bad thing I guess. But I definately recommend her.
Mrs. Wells is the greatest DS2810 teacher to take. She was so easy, we hardly ever had class and when we did, we were only in there for like 30 minutes, quizzes are cake. Would highly recommend to take!
Very helpful even outside of class. Will even help you when you are not in one of her classes. Great personality.
She his a great professor. She even gives you tips on life.
Mrs. Wells Is the greatest teacher ever. She misses a lot which is fine with me helps you in any way even out of class. GREAT class. highly recommeded. Easy A
She is a great teacher. Make sure you actually understand the material. I would take her again in a heart beat. 5 star techer.
Awesome teacher! Attendance is not mandatory but if you want an A come. If a good chunk of the class is absent and you attend, extra points. Few homework assignments. 2 tests and a final. You need to study. If you put forth effort and come to class you'll get an A. She really knows how to teach this class
Rarely went to class towards the end of the semester (I don't recommend) and still did well in the class. Homework is usually optional and is designed to only be able to help your grade. From what I hear about other DS teachers, this is your best choice. Stress free class, highly recommended.
Ms. Well was an awesome teacher! I enjoyed having her class very much. She's super nice and will help you with anything. Attendance is not mandatory but you will do better in the class if you attend. I would recommend her to anyone.
Mrs. Wells was an excellent professor! She makes the class fun and bearable. She never moves forward until everyone understands the material and curves grades A LOT. The tests are overall fairly easy, and she throws out questions if a lot of the class misses them. DEFINITELY recommend her!
She is very helpful! She does not move on until you understand the material. If the class does bad, she will curve. The homework can only help your grade. She does NOT tolerate cheaters! I highly recommend her!
Great Teacher, was very helpful and always makes sure the whole class understands all of the material. If you go to class and do the work you should definitely make an A.
She is a great teacher! We had a older gentleman in our class that knew nothing about excel and she made it simple enough for him and the rest of the class to understand. Plus she is halarious.
GREAT teacher! I was brand new to excel before this class, but she's very helpful, clear in explaining the material, and patient with everyone. If you go to class you'll have no problem making an A because she'll help you through anything you're having trouble with.
If you have to take DS 2810 take Susan Wells so easy. You do your homework in class. Test are the practice test.
I LOVED Dr. Wells. She's amazing and so nice. She goes above and beyond to help her students. Excel was so easy and she does everything step by step. You can do all of your work in class and the practice tests help prepare you for the actual tests - they're almost identical! Take her if at all possible!
Many assignments, but you can retake them online 3 different times, and she gives you the best of the 3. Only 3 tests and they are the exact same as the pretest, literally. Don't buy the books, JUST the access code. Easy midterm, no final. Boring class but you're on a laptop and can basically do whatever you want. I highly recommend her.
Wells is super nice, personable, and funny. You'll only have two tests (a midterm and a final), which she gives you a complete study guide for. The class is pretty easy- just come to class and participate in role plays. You should take Wells for this class!
Overall, a great professer. Half the time the internet would not work. She is always there for us. Love that class and her. Would highly recommend taking her! BEST PROFESSOR FOR DS CLASS
4 Exams on MS Excel. Each exam 25% of final grade. Easy A. Don't submit someone's file because she used a website that can show the origin of each file. You can retake any exam you want. I think no one gets lower than A in this class unless if you cheat.
after only a couple weeks with Dr. Wells a boring class became one of my favorite parts of the week. She is helpful, funny, and understands what students are dealing with in other classes. More than happy to help you in any way she can! Hoping to take many more classes with Dr. Wells!
Awesome teacher. Definitely take her for DS 2810.
Great teacher! I have taken two of her classes now. I wish I could take her for every business class! Show up and participate in class. She gives you plenty of time to study for tests and gives out her notes. I actually remember what I learn in her classes.
If you ever have the chance to take Mrs. Wells you need to!
Wells is an awesome professor. You learn the material but it is also super easy. She is really laid back and never gets mad when you ask for help. You can tell she loves her job. Definitely take her.
Very easy as long as you show up and pay attention.
Wells is an incredible professor. She's extremely caring and will stop the whole class if one person is having trouble and will help you until you get it. If class attendance is below 2/3 then she'll typically give EC to whoever is there. She is a MUST TAKE if you're a business major and she's got some good stories.
DR WELLS IS A MUST HAVE!!!! She is my favorite professor so far in college and I am a senior. You do need to attend class though but they are worth it. This woman is a gem in every way. Want to make your college experience better? Take Susan Wells!!
I love Dr Wells. She is caring, smart, and super funny. Her lectures were interesting and you could tell she really relates to her students. The only thing I didn't like was that there were about 3 grades in this class. She isn't super strict on deadlines but don't push it off to the end. Become her friend and she will love you.
Dr. Wells is one of the funniest teachers I have had at Tech. If you need help she will stop and help you and make sure you are good before she moves on. I loved going to this class because she makes it great. TAKE HER!
I was nervous about taking this class, but Dr. Wells made it very enjoyable. You do have to write a paper during the course, and there is only a mid term and final. As long as you take notes and study the notes she provides, you will do well.
Had her an her husband for a law-and-IT class. They were pretty funny and energetic, but I felt kind of left out because I wasn't an IT major. Ended up feeling awkward. They also got distracted real easily and wasted a lot of time. Still decent, though. Participation required scoring "points" by impressing them, so you REALLY have to try.
Dr. Wells is easily the best professor I had this semester. She makes it clear on the first day of class what her expectations are for the class. You go over assignments in class and she assigns several things before an exam to make sure you understand. Super awesome professor who truly wants her students to excel.
I took Dr. Wells for my UBUS course and she was extremely simple and easy. Sometimes her voice got a little hard on the ears but it was fine. She would also occasionally cancel classes.
Dr. Wells really cares about her students. Although the subject material is dry her personality makes up for it. She wants to help you succeed in any way she can.
Dr. Wells is one of the best professors on this campus. She genuinely cares about all of her students and gives clear grading criteria throughout this course. She is also a good person to talk to and truly helps you out. So lucky I had her!
Do yourself a favor and take Dr. Wells. Honestly the funniest most awesome professor ever. She really cares about her students and is always available to help out or offer further explanation.
Doctor Wells is hands down my most favorite professor I have ever had. She is truly amazing and one of the sweetest persons on this planet. She will stick her neck out for you to receive a good grade and will always help in anyway she can. Doctor Wells is also an amazing person to know in life. HIGHLY recommend taking her.
If youre looking for an easy A, take this class. Other than that, don't. She is always late. When you are teaching a class about leadership students look at your leadership skills. She never grades work and never follows through with what she says. Takes months to grade work.
She is great! She cares about her students and really just wants you to engage and learn something practical to the real world. Put some effort into this class and do not look at it as a traditional academia setting and you will actually come away with a great experience.
Dr. Wells is a very kind person. She cares a lot about her students, and making sure that they are learning and doing well. She will help when you need it, and she tries not to give an overload of hard work.
Awesome. Had her for 2 classes this semester and she was awesome. Understanding of students and very good at what she does. I had a lot of fun in her class! Was the one class throughout college that I had a lot of fun in.
I loved UBUS with Dr Wells. She is so fun/caring! This is usually a freshman class and I think its a perfect crossover from HS. There are no exams, and you learn A LOT of tips and tricks for college! Her family works at Tech and if you go to office hours, there is always someone there happy to help you! I would take Dr Wells!
I had Dr. Wells for UBUS 1020 and I enjoyed the class. It was only on MW which was nice, and it kind of felt like a high school class which is good because it's usually taken by freshmen. Just go to class and you will have everything you need to get an A
Dr wells Is a funny person at times but she will be serious if needed to, easiest class but a lot of engaging and group work imo, As an introvert this wasn't my ideal class but easy enough. She is very dedicated to teach about the real world,professional, and prepare you for business. Student TAs were good as well I liked them. Get on her good side
