GMU required transfer students from NVCC to take this course again. It was a big waste of time and money, but at least professor Garcia made the class tolerable. She exhibited efficiency in the manner she got things done. She is a pretty awesome teacher and really good at explaining concept. It's just too bad that I met her to take THIS course.

Great instructor. Make the subject she is teaching very clear and easy to understand. I would take her again. She doesn't accept late work or give extra credit but she drops the lower quiz and the lower homework grade.

Prof. Garcia made this class extremely enjoyable. Her approach to lectures was outstanding and she is available if you need extra help. There is homework each week but the lowest score gets dropped along with the lowest quiz score. I plan on taking her again for BUS 310.

Her lectures are good. If you don't understand something she tries to give real life examples. Homework every week but worth it for the test, you will learn. 2 midterms and 1 cumulative final. She is not a tough grader and gives a lot of feedback. 2 years since I took a statistics class, first time I enjoyed one.

She is incredibly clear with the material but her grading is ridiculously tough. Minor mathematical errors will destroy the grade you get on any given assignment, so if you are the type who is good at the more sophisticated components of math but make minor errors, you might want to avoid her. She is mean but still nice to talk to... somehow.

I loved Prof Garcia's lectures, very clear. Her lectures made me like statistics! I would definitely take her class again. I recommend her to anyone who is at school to learn rather than just trying to pass a class.

Very organized with her notes, gives detailed lectures with examples and class assignments to practice. Exams are hard though, not a lot of multiple choice questions, you have to know the material. Even though attendance is not mandatory, good luck learning the material yourself if you miss class.

Prof. Garcia makes numbers interesting and uses the invisible man analogy that any math illiterate could understand. She's very responsive to emails and questions. She goes above and beyond to help students understand. Don't miss class, and save all excel models she uses. She's very organized and gives crystal clear instructions.

Prof Garcia, does her best for students to understand the material. There is a quiz every class period and hw due as well. 3 exams, final is cumulative. The hw is graded for accuracy & NOT completeness. The in class quizzes prepare you for the exams she also helps you if you are struggling w/ them. Don't expect to pass w/o putting in effort.

There is homework each week and quizzes in class. These quizzes are just class work that you can work together on. You will create models in class in excel and then be allowed to utilize these same models on the exams. Exams can be considered tough but attend class and do the homework you can get a good grade.

looking back, this class was soo easy. but during semester, I couldn't grasp concepts. It took for the final to get it. I recommend taking it for 3 hours as her weekly plans go together. might take again for an A. When you build models put them all on one excel sheet for a better visual. Garcia was gr8. second time having her. HW is 4 accuracy

Easy class, should be an easy A for most. HW every week and quizzes almost every week, but you can consult with peers and ask for help. Don't miss classes if you don't want to be confused.

2 exams, 1 final, weekly homeworks due before class & "quizzes" that you can do with others. She is organized and predictable, albeit very tough and no-nonsense with her grading, even on homework. She has a knack for explaining concepts so long as you pay attention. Study hard and you WILL do fine.

The subject itself is hard but she does a really good job explaining the material in a way you'll understand. It's very important you go to her lectures because she covers everything that will be on the exams. There are two exams and a cumulative final which can be tough but reflect what you've learned in the class and what you do in the homework.

She is nice and helpful enough. Class is easy A. Assignments every week. 3 exams but she lets you use your Excel models and homework files during exam so you can't really go wrong. Attendance is kinda mandatory cause there is a quiz at the end of every class.

Take Professor Garcia! You will not regret it. Her lectures are phenomenal- she does everything step by step on the screen projector and this really helps understanding. There were many guided examples as well to ensure comprehension of problems. There is homework every week, quizzes, and three exams. Loved her so much, taking her for BUS 310!!

I hate math BUT professor Garcia is the professor to take for BUS31O. She has such a clear grading path that it's nearly impossible for a student to fail her class. The in-class quizzes and homework questions are VERY SIMILAR to the ones on the exams. Don't need textbook, just study the quizzes and homework. Plus she provides really nice notes.

Overall good professor. Not an easy class (BUS 310), but she's clear with what is expected and her teaching style is very easy to follow along with. Show up to each class, she definitely keeps an eye on attendance. Excel is used almost every class, try and sit near a POWER OUTLET! Laptops are used basically every class, all class.

BUS310 is a fairly easy course. All you really do is plug numbers into excel models and then write interpretations of your outputs. HW and Quizzes are EXACTLY like the exams. She also let's you keep Exam1 and Exam2 so that you can use them to study for the Final exam. The Final exam questions are very similar to Exams1&2 (there are no surprises).

Great professor, teaches stats in a way that is easy to understand. Grading policy is clear, 3 exams and some in class work. Final is cumulative. Study the homework problems and concepts and you'll do great on the exam. She waits and makes sure everyone is caught up and teaches at a comfortable pace. Would definitely take again.

Great professor! She's very clear in her expectations and grading. She takes the time during lecture to go everything and to answer any questions. HW and in-class quizzes really help prepare for her exams and to learn the material. She's very responsive to emails and accessible outside of class. Practice what she gives you and you'll do fine!

Very nice professor, take notes during class because she doesn't post it. Quizzes are easy points and are similar to the HW. Exams are based on lectures and homeworks. Pay attention during class and you will do great

Great professor! Took Lee for bus210, which was a hellish experience. She takes her time to explain everything thoroughly so as long as you pay attention and do the homework, you'll do fine! Quizzes are super easy, you get to work with others and she says the answers aloud anyways. She also responds to emails very quickly!

Professor Garcia is one of my favorite professors at GMU. She explains the logic behind the learning concepts before teaching technical work. She really wants you to understand the material and doesn't try to over complicate it. Shes a nice woman and if you come to class ready to learn you will surely pass her course.

One of the best teachers I have taken, she explains everything well and will slow down if even one person in the class doesn't get the material. I hope to take her for 310. You must go to class to understand Excel

Great professor. Clear grading criteria/sticks to the syllabus. Just show up to class because she does have occasional quizzes in class. But don't worry, she works with you on the quizzes and sometimes even gives the answers. Easy A as long as you: 1. Show up, 2. Take good notes, 3. Pay attention!

If you're not a morning person, don't take her class very early, because I wouldn't recommend skipping class. Everything done in class shows up on the weekly homework, so attending class is pretty important. She walks you through all the excel stuff and there are occasional quizzes, in which she discusses the answers so everyone gets them right.

She's amazing. Honestly the best!!

This class is not hard at all if you take it with Prof. Garcia. Study the homework, quizzes, and your notes and you'll do just fine. God bless her!

Five words: Professor Garcia is the best! In-class quizzes are easy and she guides you through them all! Homework problems covers everything taught in the previous class. She's an expert at teaching Business Analytics and I recommend taking her as much as you can for BUS 210 and BUS 310!

Garcia's lectures were consistently well paced, and she always stops to answer any question someone may have. Tests and homeworks are relatively easy, and while she can be somewhat passive aggressive sometimes, I'd recommend her to anyone.

Garcia is great. I appreciate her taking her time to answer homework questions because it really helps me understand the material better. You dont need to read the book for the exams. Just take good notes in class. If you dont attend class you wont pass or understand Excel. Study hard and youll do well!

Ahmed Khago is still the best professor in this department but Garcia is definitely right behind him! She takes time to explain the material to you if you don't understand it and allows you to use reference files on the exams! Your lowest quiz and homework scores are also dropped. I highly recommend her to anyone taking BUS 210/310. Cant go wrong

Toni is a nice lady and means well but she is not accessible. Pay good attention to her lectures and take good notes because she will derive all her exams from the notes. Exams are still tricky but study her notes very well. A lot of homework, one assignment due before every class (1 a week). She has no emotions, like she doesn't laugh or smile.

Professor Garcia is really great. She makes the concepts in 310 less difficult. Quizzes are done as a class and she has a discussion board for HW help. Tests are also easy and she has reference files for 310 (not 210 though). Only need the textbook for the HW problems so split the money with a friend or something.

Classes are not mandatory but she gives you everything you need in class to succeed. Homework and quizzes are easy, and if you take good notes in class and just follow them then the exams should be straight-forward. Prof. Garcia always answered questions and was very helpful in and out of class. I will definitely take 310 with her as well.

Attendance is mandatory. You need the textbook, but only for homework problems, so see if you can split it with a classmate. She is a really awesome professor who forces you to actually learn concepts behind the models in Excel. You'll have to study pretty hard for the conceptual part of the tests, but she gives you models for computational prblms.

Had her for 210 but let me tell you that 310 is no joke. The class is very difficult and gets progressively harder. Even after working hard I still didnt score the greatest on the last two exams, but did pass. She is helpful if you ask or post for hw help in the discussion board. One of the hardest classes imo but garcia is great!

She's a great analytics professor who gives you everything you need to complete the homework and exams. She doesn't make you memorize formulas and instead focuses on the application of the data, which is much easier to comprehend for anyone not majoring in analytics. This was the easiest stats class I've ever taken and I learned a lot.

After taking BUS 210 I was not excited for this course at all but she made me enjoy it! Her teaching style was great. She teaches the material and allows you to practice on your own by taking "quizzes" and doing the hw. I would notice the people around me who did not pay attention did struggle. Do the work and pay attention and you should be okay.

Its an easy class if youve worked with excel. However the lectures can drag on for a while but she provides help fast if needed. The hw is very lengthy but not too hard. Participation matters due to quizzes

I have taken Garcia for BUS210 and BUS310 already and she's an awesome professor! Very clear on what is expected in class and on exams. She will do "quizzes" but really it's just classwork and she'll help you through them. You can also work on them with other students. Overall, she has been one of my favorite professors at Mason!

Took Toni for Bus210 and BUs310, very straight forward. 3 exams, quizzes(daily checks) every class. super easy. Hw every week. 2 exams and a final. allows you to keep the exams and uses similar questions on the final. All notes are posted online, posts reference models. TA is helpful. Great class overall, and you actually learn something!

I would just say that she is an good teacher but the material is quite daunting. So visit the teaching assistant regularly, and use all the available resources, which I failed to do so.

Need to show up because there are participation activities at the end of most classes. Just follow along with the excel demonstrations in class so you know what you are doing for the homework and tests and that's all you need to do really. Tests are simple: 15 multiple choice and 5 excel questions.

Absolutely loved Prof. Garcia's class. She breaks the entire content down into notes that are easily understandable and simple. She'll take the time to help you figure out issues with Excel and definitely shows that she cares about her students. The worded questions on exams are easy if you study the notes and the Excel portions are even easier.

Quizzes (which is class participation) every class, homework (easy/fair), two exams, and one final. she provides study guides, she explains everything very well, and she gets straight to the point. Great professor!!

She is seriously a really good professor. She explains it so well that it engraves into your brain. There are quizzes but it is based on the lecture on that day. Easy homework.

best professor. you will enjoy learning. every class has a quiz, you can use notes, she normally will do the quiz with you or check your work. easy points, no attendence points but if you don't come to class you wont keep up with the course. 2 exams online, in-class, lots of excel, has opportunities for extra credit. lectures can be long, good prof

Homework once a week . Not hard just a little time consuming. Tests(2 midterms, 1 final) are like homework + class notes. Attendance recommended since there are open note quizzes. She stops lectures to help you if you're struggling. Lectures are clear and easy to understand. I never used Excel and learned a lot. I was excited to come to class.

This is my second time taking professor Garcia. She is great! Three exams and she gives u a study guide. Homework is fair if you show up to class the homework will be very easy. If u show up to class you get participation points if u turn in the classwork for the day. She explains the material very well, take her!

Professor Garcia is amazing. She explains everything to clearly and provides so many resources that help if you do get confused. This is my second time taking her and her teaching style transitioning to online is the same! She is reasonable and encourages class participation with discussion board questions on homework- super helpful.

I took Prof. Garcia's BUS 310 class online over the summer, and it was basically what you would expect. Her video lectures were really clear and in-depth, she isn't a tough grader, and she is very quick to respond on discussion boards. The only issue I have with her is how long it takes her to grade exams/major assignments. I definitely recommend.

I took Professor Garcia over the summer. Her assignments and video lectures were really helpful to understand the concepts. Homework could take long however, her video examples are very helpful. She wants us to ask her everything on DB, kinda annoying. But overall, great professor!

Probably the best professor for BUS210. Her notes in class explain the concepts much better than the textbook. Mostly Excel based stuff. The homework also covers exactly what was taught in class. Definitely go to class because the classwork was graded. Wish I had taken her for 310.

I was scared to take this class online because you have to do a lot of work in excel, but professor Garcia made it so easy! Her instructional videos are very easy to follow and she provides tons of example videos. The tests are straightforward too, just like the homeworks.

I LOVE HER, she by far is one of my favorite professors at school. Her lectures are amazing and are easy to follow. The homework made since and she genuinely likes teaching the class. I would recommend her to everyone.

The homework is pretty straightforward and the video examples helped a lot even with her recorded lectures. She had study guide for each exam ,and a study session (it's also recorded). There's also discussion posts where people can questions and tips, it was helpful with that as well. By far, best professor for this course, I'm glad I took her!:)

Class is very excel heavy, before taking it you should know the basics. There was homework and discussion board every week. She posts example videos and small "lecture" which are very helpful. I am glad I took her she is great!

I read the good ratings of Prof Garcia and was not disappointed! She was really helpful. Everything was clear. Super nice about questions. Wish I could take her again!

Prof. Garcia is one of my favorites at GMU. She teaches the curriculum in a way that's easy to understand and apply and she puts a lot of effort into ensuring that you know the content. The class is incredibly easy. A homework due every week and all the notes you need to get an A are uploaded online. I highly recommend her.

Prof. Garcia is the best to take for this class. I took her summer class and put almost 0 effort into her class and still got a low B. She's good and it is easy to pass her class and was very helpful.

Short homework assignments every week. Breaks all of the class material down. Very thorough. She counts participation every week through discussion boards but you only need to participate in 6. 2 midterms which are open notes and the final is open notes as well. I have a 96 in this class. She's a great professor! It's just not super interesting.

easy A ! just make sure you show up to class and take note of what she says and types in excel. the exam are open notes and exam time is more than enough. as long as you pay attention in class and know how to use excel, you will pass the class.

I did not have to put too much effort into this class because Professor Garcia made this class super easy! All exams are open-note so just make sure your homework is all correct to look back at it. The exams are also not cumulative! But there is a short case study to balance that out, which contains questions from past units. But honestly.. easy A.

Weekly homework is reading, doing excel work, and writing on a discussion post. Super easy, she posts the PowerPoints online with videos to watch if you're lost. As long as you follow the PowerPoints and listen during class and participate during the excel worksheet examples, you'll be solid.

her lectures were really helpful for the weekly excel homeworks and she also provides youtube video examples/walkthroughs. also has a discussion board if u need help with the hw and she or classmates can help (counts as participation points). as long as u watch the lectures then youll pass. easy exams since theyre open notes.

Amazing lectures and helpful examples during class. You'll be fine as long as you go to class. Open note for 2 midterms and 1 final, not accumulative. Very caring for her students!

Prof. Garcia was great. As someone who sucks at computers and analytics stuff, she made the class as easily understood as it could be. 2 midterms and 1 final that are straight forward for the most part and have similar questions as the weekly homework. highly recommend

Prof. Garcia is the best. This was the best async class I've ever taken because Prof. Garcia is wonderful and her video lectures were so easy to follow. The homework and exams are all straightforward. There is a big case study which is also fairly straightforward. she made using Excel a breeze for someone not tech-savvy. Really enjoyed this course.

professor garcia was good! i stopped going to class before midterms and managed to get an a-. there are weekly homeworks, but they are only a few questions you will complete in excel. there are weekly discussion boards as well. two tests and a final. all the topics you can learn on youtube. get the online textbook only $9.99 a month. its an easy a.

I took her in person course, and she would have us practice on excel which would later help us on how to solve the homework. There are discussion boards every week, but you are only required to participate on 6 of them throughout the semester, they can be very helpful! 3 exams, they are all open note and final exam is not cumulative. Easy class.

She actually explains things and helps you understand if you don't get it. If you show up to class you're set because the tests are all class examples. I took her for bus 210 as well and she has never once left me leaving the classroom confused.

Prof. Garcia was an amazing teacher for this course. I was nervous because I knew nothing about Excel before taking this class, but she was great at explaining everything. Make sure to complete your homework and take good notes because they are useful for the tests. You also have to complete at least 6 discussion board posts. She's a great teacher!

Professor Garcia made understanding business analytics and excel pretty simple! Her classes are mainly lecture, but the examples she goes over are similar to the homework. She also has several example videos for each module on blackboard. She is very helpful and really cares about her students.

Just taker her class trust me. She is the best

She's crystal clear when explaining and is always willing to help if you don't understand. Kind of dry/emotionless but she's a fantastic teacher so it doesn't matter. HW is helpful and not ridiculously long and she over exactly how to do it in class. Exams aren't difficult. No reason not to take Garcia, she's great!

Professor Garcia is the best. I had her in-person class, and I attended almost every lecture. She teaches in a very interactive way to ensure her students understand. No quizzes, one homework assignment each week, and discussion boards are just asking or answering a peer's question about the homework that week. I will def take her for 310!

Professor Garcia is an excellent teacher for BUS210. I'll be honest, class was dry and boring sometimes but she's super clear and makes it easy to understand, light hw each week exactly as done in class, exams are simple and no trick questions. No excel experience you'll be fine with her class! I appreciated her teachings+class!

Her lectures and example videos were amazing. As you're doing the HW, I would suggest always copying the cell equation/code and putting it on the side of your answers so that you can look back at them to prepare for exams. The class discussion board is super helpful if you have any questions.

I loved Prof Garcia! I am planning to take her again next semester. She is super understanding of students needs and her class reflects that. She is a slow lecturer which is greatly appreciated when learning a new topic. Her goal is to make sure you learn! There are 3 tests not cumulative and one paper that took like 3 hours to do, super easy!

TAKE HER! Doesn't waste time and gets straight to the point. She has the same lectures in-person and online so might as well take her online if you're a commuter. The in-class examples are similar to HW which are super similar to exams.

I've taken a previous data mining class before where the prof was so unorganized. Prof Garcia is organized, quick to respond, gives good feedback, & gives you all the resources you need to pass the class. There are a decent amount of deliverables each week, but they are all helpful things to help you get practice and understand the material. 10/10

She's great. The class is fine, just do the excel work and read her feedback. Very nice. Would take again.

If her class has availability RUSH AND TAKE IT!! literally the best for this course. So organized and explained everything so well. Not the most bubbly and "fun" professor, but she's truly amazing at her job.

Fantastic teacher and class is very easy. Clearer than polished glass when explaining anything. Would recommend.

Professor was good although sometimes I felt like she was annoyed when I needed help. The class had weekly assignments, can be done by watching the help videos.

Very fair and straightforward professor. If you pay attention to the lectures and follow along with in-class examples, there is no reason for you not to do well in this course. Exams are open material and not cumulative. Amble opportunity to receive a good grade with clear guidelines on assignments. TA is fairly responsive with grading. Great class

BEST BUS310 PROFESSOR! Her lectures are easy to understand and she's straightforward. Just pay attention in class and you will get an easy A. She's very quick to respond outside of class as well. Definitely recommend her.

She's awesome. Open notes for all the exams. you have weekly HWs.... she will post a video for each HW as well.. no Quizzes & no group projects. no Textbook needed. Discussion board for extra credits. Participation isn't mandatory but the class is always full.

Take her! She is def the easiest professor for this course. She does examples in class that are pretty much exactly what's on the homework. The exams are all open note and fairly easy if you take the time to study a bit. She is very knowledgeable in what she teaches and wants her students to succeed

She is one of the best teachers I've ever had. She cares so much about students and will explain as many times as we need to help us understand the lectures. She is kind and patient. 100% recommended.

My favorite professor at GMU. I have taken two of her classes and they have received A's in both due to the structure of her class. She uploads video's on blackboard that are almost exactly like the assignments. Homework took maybe 2 hours a week. We had 1 quiz a week that was open note. All exams were also open note.

Professor Garcia is amazing. Her lectures and materials are crystal clear, making it easy to learn even tricky topics. Unstuck ai was a huge help for preparing for the exams too. Definitely take this class if you can - you'll learn a lot and likely get a great grade.

Prof.Garcia is a great teacher. She explains very easily (the topics in itself are easy), and shes also very organized. You get 1 hw due every week, along with an extra credit discussion board. Her exams are open notes, but really easy anyway. I liked her so much I am taking her for BUS 310 next semester. Shes great! I would 100% RECOMMEND!!

Amazing professor. Explains things with real world context. Will answer any and all questions, occasional sass but is funny. Read the textbook for clarity but she explains it well in class. Do every discussion board, easy points. All exams are open book so rewrite notes clear and answer study guide to find info easier during exam. 3 exams.

I took Prof Garcia online and it was genuinely a breeze. I recommend to take her online if you're not majoring in Business Analytics or if you're trying to save time. Her lecture videos are straightforward and she's very understanding. The exams were all open notes as well which was amazing. Don't wait last minute to do the case study assignment!

My grade doesn't reflect how good of a professor she is. There is homework every week but its very manageable, all of the information on tests were covered in class. She did a great job presenting information and is willing to answer any questions. Attendance isn't mandatory, but if you don't go, this class will be very confusing.

Such a lovely human being. She is super considerate of her students and takes her time during lectures. Exams are open note/canvas and I retained a lot of the information I learned during her lectures. Homework assignments were actually based off what we went over in class. Just a great professor and I highly recommend her for BUS 210 / 310!

great professor, material was covered in exams. defininitely had to attend class to do well on the homework. imo exams were super easy because of open note

Amazing professor! Her lectures are always clear and easy to follow along, homework straightforward and exactly like what we learned in class, the exams were open notes and textbook. Overall would take her again!
