It was a Easy A. If you want to get A easily then I will suggest you to take her class. Slow grader but very helpful. Get ready to learn by yourself. Lots of Presentation . Overall I enjoyed her class.

easy A

Professor Beal was a very nice professor. If you want an easy-A class, take her. She is a very easy grader. Also, try to participate in the class as much as you can and you'll be well appreciated. I took a 10-week class and it was still too easy. I would 110% recommend her.

Professor Beal is very helpful and explains things very well and clearly. I would love to take another class with her. She's very engaging and her class is not difficult to do well in if you participate and attend classes.

EASY A!!!! EASY GPA BOOSTER!!!! IDK why she got so many bad reviews tbh, she was slight. All you need to do is follow the instructions in the textbook for the assignments and the quizzes are SUPER EASY. Uses lockdown browser for two tests and uses camera for the final.

Keep up with the modules, quizzes, and projects and you'll pass! It may be a little bit hectic or unorganized however I don't think it's a huge deterrent. Professor Beal is super nice and responds to emails.

She's a great professor, I'm not sure why there's so many negative reviews. She accepts late work and tries to accommodate as much as possible. She's not a tough grader so just show up and pass :)

If you want an easy A then she is the best teacher to take. She is very understanding of other students schedules and will ask you if the workload is too much. The book is option but you will need it for the final. Not lecture heavy.

Take Professor Beal! She is so caring and is flexible with due dates. She is by far one of my favorites teachers at NOVA. I recommend her to everyone. You will get an A!!!!

Professor Beal is caring, a quick grader, and her lectures aren't long and boring. It's not hard to do well in a course constructed by her. Simply show up for class and do your assignments, that's an easy A.

Professor Beal is very sweet person and her classes are fairly manageable. She is considerate of her students. It would help you to get the full understanding of the class, if you do a outside research about the topic. But overall it was a good class.

Professor Beal is a great professor. The way she motivates the student is very supportive to learn. The content of her course is great and beneficial to student's life. She is a helpful professor.

Professor Beal helped students to catch up with work that was late which helped when having other classes that has a lot of homework at times. Overall it was great.

Great class and very accommodating!

Professor Yan Beal is a fantastic professor that I have ever met. she is a kind, undretanbale, on time, responsible, and organized teacher. She is a knowledgeable professor, and when you have a problem or a question, she nicely solves your problem. I learn a lot from her, and I will retake her. I recommended taking her.

Professor Yan Beal is a great professor. She understands her students very well. Take her you won't regret it.

Professor Beal is great. She will help you if you have any questions and work with you. She's very kind and understanding. Her lectures are straightforward and not too long. Just complete the assignments/projects and you will pass with an A. Highly recommend taking her.

I had Professor Beal for Web design one, and she was a very straightforward teacher. The curriculum was easy to follow as she showed you step by step basics on html and css. She had good points and was very encouraging towards students. It was the first class I got a perfect score in, and I am planning to take her again for multimedia!

She is a very great and helpful professor. She always responds on time to my emails. She explains everything clearly and perfectly and just overall she is an excellent professor. I would recommend to my friends to take classes with professor Yan Beal and I would love to have her again as a professor for another class.

NVCC ITE 170 is an assignment heavy course, but once you get into the flow it is the same type of exercises each week so it becomes easy to adjust/plan for. I had a few personal situations and reached out to Professor Beal for help and she was more than accommodating to find solutions so that I could still be successful in the course.

She is a great professor and cares for all of her students. She keeps her lectures simple and short so you have the rest of the time to ask questions and work on the assignments. I personally used visualstudio code to complete the assignments, but she provides other options as well. As a person who dreads schoolwork I enjoyed working in this class.

I took this teacher once before for ITD110 and have now finished ITE170 four weeks early. The thing I like about Professor Beal is that she allows for a flexible pace. If a student is able to present a project early, they were allowed to do so. If a student needed more time to finish, she usually gave more time. TLDR Nice teacher, Would recommend

Professor Beal provides a great class that lets you work and learn at your own pace with very clear and reasonable due dates. This class is perfect to take if you have a little bit of knowledge of the subject beforehand, with that in mind this class will be easy and not stressful at all thanks to Prof. Beal's understanding and leniency.

She is a very good teacher for those who are very self paced and have a good understanding of the subject beforehand, if you are new to the cybersecurity/it field I would recommend you look for another teacher, but if you know a good amount she is great

This professor made learning HTML and CSS very easy and simple to understand. The assignments given out were simple with a good time period to finish them. Would highly recommend this professor!

Professor Beal is a very good professor. I highly recommend taking her if you need ITE 170 as a class. Her assignments are very straight forward and has no mid term or final (besides a final project). She understands the students situation and gives extensions if you need it. Take her please!!

Amazing professor! She gives a lot of time to work on projects/exams!

One of my favorite classes! Professor Beal tries to make this class as easy as possible for her students to pass, however, you still have to put in the work and complete the assignments given. Late work is accepted. There are quizzes after each module to help prepare for the exam. As long as you do the homework and pay attention, you will be fine!

She is a good professor she gives a lot of extra credit. She lets you decide how you want to do the work and when to did it and just guides you through it. She make the work simple for you.

She is good. She allows us to engage in all the work we do how we want the exams to be and the homework. She is so easy going and gives a lot of extra credit.

She was super kind and caring. Making sure her students didn't have a tough time throughout the course. She also gave out a lot of extra credit whilst making sure the exams and quizzes weren't too difficult. I would highly recommend taking one of her courses.

Professor Beal is a great IT teacher. I loved the projects we did since it was fun and have to with coding. She gives us plenty of time to complete our projects. I loved the class structure it was amazing. I loved the coding projects we did and screen sharing that we presented. I loved coding. I liked the website design project we had to do. Great.

She is a very sweet, accommodating and understanding professor. Tries her best to provide multiple ways to succeed in her class. I loved the way she always tried to make this class as stress free as possible. Also a very soft-spoken individual which makes it easy to approach her.

Wonderful professor. Class is project based (which I prefer). She is kinda and is willing to work you on deadlines. The assignments are fun and reverent to the subject matter. 10/10

Great professor, would definitely take this class again. Pretty chill and understanding.

Great professor; I would definitely take her again

Professor Beal is a fantastic professor who is extremely understanding with deadlines and is aa very kind person overall who cares about you as a student and wants you to succeed. Overall coursework was easy and collaborative.

Professor Beal was a great teacher. She was super kind and sweet. She was very helpful when a student got stuck. I wouldn't have gotten as great a grade as I did if not for her being so helpful. I greatly appreciated her as a teacher.

She was very kind.. She was helpful.. I wanna take it again class.. She was really nice...

She was such a caring Professor and helped the students whenever they needed help. Would definitely take her class again

Professor Beal was very helpful

she is one of the best teachers ever. she helped me a lot in this semester ...... I love her.

She's a very nice and understanding professor. I took her ITE 152 class over the summer and it was cool.

She is one of the best professors I've had so far and is very helpful definitely recommended!

This was an easy class and got an A. If you are taking the class for credit will recommend to take the class.

Professor Beal is a very kind and caring teacher. But, you may not learn anything in her class. If you are taking her as a one time elective then I recommend to take her because it is very easy to pass the class. But, if you are taking an IT major then I suggest you to find someone else. She also comes to class late and sometimes does not show up.

Really enjoyed having her for my ITE 152 class. She caring and doesn't give too much homework. She also gives us plenty of extra time to our assignment. would 100% recommend her to have for any of your IT classes, you will get a very good grade.

She is a really good teacher I would recommend having this teacher and class

she's a good professor and i recommend that everyone takes her and you will pass with an A+.

The class was easy and the professor seemed very knowledgeable about the topic. great intro class

Professor Beal is very caring and she makes sure you finish your assignments!

Dr. Beal is an amazing and understanding teacher. Her class was very fun, and I would take her class again in the future. Just make sure you get your work done and follow her instructions. Email her or talk to her if you have any concerns or questions. Everyone in my class loved her and we even took a group photo in our last class.

This professor doesn't go in depth on lectures, so oftentimes you will have to put in extra work to learn the material outside of classes. However, she is a very patient and understanding professor who is easy-going and pleasant to talk to. She prompts class discussion and interacts with students, and her assignments have been enjoyable!

She was very kind and understanding, allowing for late turn ins

LOVED HER TAKE HER WONT REGRET IT

Super great professor, was super understanding and always listened to students if they wanted extensions. She is very lenient, I enjoyed coming to class and wish a professor like her was in all my classes.

Professor was helpful, assignments were clear.

This was one of the easiest classes I've ever taken! Professor Yan is an incredibly caring and compassionate teacher. All her assignments are online so you can complete everything ahead of time! Attendance isn't mandatory but she does lecture towards the beginning of the semester. At the end of the semester SHE HANDS OUT FREE EXTRA CREDIT!

Professor Beal was a great! It shows that she really cares about her students and will do her best to help student pass. I will take her again!

Dr. Beal is an amazing professor. She is ready to offer extra credit, and the assignments connect very well with the lectures.

Professor Beal is a great professor. She is caring, and it is very easy to get an A in her classes.

Professor Beal is an amazing professor. She is very helpful and sweet. She's also very flexible with all of her assignments! This class was an easy A for me.

Professor Beal is a really great instructor! If you come to class and complete all the assignments, you will do really well in this class. She was available when I had a concern about an assignment, emailed me back, and we spoke by phone. She really cares about her students and does what she can to help you succeed. Thank you.

Zero Stress.

This Professor is wonderful. She is quite helpful. She is always attentive to students. If a student requires more time to complete an assignment, she always provides enough time.

Class was super easy, no exams just 2 big projects and assignments but they were fairly easy. Prof Beal is caring and gives students extra time to complete assignments if you talk to her. I would say that she doesn't respond to emails so best to talk to her in person. Overall, she's great and the class was fun to take even if it was easy.

Professor Beal is one of the sweetest Professors at NOVA. She is such a sweet and caring kinda person and is always ready to appreciate your work even if it's related to a small thing. You can easily choose her as your Professor. And, one important thing about this course is that the assignments are self-doing and quite fun.

SHE IS SUUUUUUPER NICE.

Professor Beal is great, she is very caring about each and every students grade in the class and she isn't strict on deadlines either

This Professor is amazing. She won't get annoyed if your falling back on some assignments. If you need extra time to finish an assignment she'll gladly give you extra time. Very good professor.

Professor Beal is amazing, she cares for all of her students by being extremely lenient on grading and many other things.

Professor Yan Beal is an amazing professor. She is very helpful and sweet.

One of the greatest professors I've ever had. Super nice and patient and is willing to help out any student that needs it.

Professor Yan Beal is an amazing professor. She is accommodating and sweet. if you want an easy A take this professor, I have already done 4 classes with her.

This Professor is wonderful. I took her SDV 101 class, and it was the easiest class that I had. just a few assignments and a generous grader, the instruction was very clear. take this class if you want to get an A.

Great teacher overall and easy class. The teacher could work on responding to email more. thats about it.

Great teacher. Sometimes late to class and wont respond to emails though. Still i enjoyed her class. Take this class if you want easy credits and an easy A. But learning wise, you will have to learn the material on your own in the modules because she doesn't teach that much during class.

Dr. Beal's class was a breeze. She made learning fun, as she wasn't harsh or a tough grader. She was very nice and tells funny stories. She even tells you in the beginning of class that is hard to get lower than an A.. lol. Just show up, do your work on time, and you will pass. She loves when people participate in her questions.

She was very easy to work with and able to let you retake and submit some things late if something was happening to you in your personal life. All you had to do was do the assignment and submit and ask questions.

Took the 7 week class, it was a lot of work but she is lenient with deadlines and gives a lot of extra credit. as long as you stay on top of the work you'll do just fine.

Professor Beal's ITE 152 course involved a lot of quizzes, group discussions, and projects, but they were never too difficult. Professor Beal is quite lenient with grading and late submissions. She provides lots of extra credit.

Professor herself is great and chill. The workload at times can seem like a lot, but was manageable in a way where it wasn't anything too difficult/complicated. Her class is easy, pay attention, do the work, and you'll end up receiving a good grade. I highly recommend you take Professor Beal, and I look forward to taking her again in the future!

Professor very funny and is an amazing teacher. Although, the class may seem very fast pace and have a lot of assignments the work is still easy. Regardless of the assignments being easy you still get to learn a lot from it, I highly recommend taking her class and I am planning on retaking her again later on!

Professor Beal is phenomenal, extremely knowledgeable and caring. She will help you do great in this course like she did me!

Best professor I have ever had. Professor Beal always understandable, very knowledgeable. Quizzes, Assignments, Test are very easy. Take her classes, 100 % recommended.

PLEASE GET HER AS YOUR TEACHER. She is one of the best teachers in nova. Her class is so easy. You will pass no matter what. She cares about her students and will do anything for them to pass. She will give out extra credit but you don't even need it. The tests and quizzes are so easy. There is no midterm or final. Please choose her as your teacher

Allows you to substitute some confusing and lengthy assignments and gives announcements in class on multiple assignments to those who wish to work ahead. Gives extensions to those who needs it. Knowledgeable in her field and is quick to address any concerns during/after class.

Really good professor, recommended .

The course was simple to understand and assignments were clear to understand. There were several times where extra credit was provided. The workload was manageable and lectures were simple and informative. Additionally, there are multiple, smaller exams throughout the year as opposed to one large final exam.

flexible with due dates

Professor Beal is a great professor and genuinely cares about your success. Would highly recommend taking this course with her.

it was a very manageable class, id recommend Professor Beal to anyone thinking about taking a related course.

flex able with due dates

Professor Beal was a great professor for ITE-152. I took this class as a social science major as it is needed for the program, and I had a good time. That being said I have a rather vast understanding of computers, so if you dont, you might need to pay a bit of extra attention to the processes she teaches. She was quite understanding with due dates

This teacher made programming easy for us students. This made it way more fun! This teacher is the definition of college in Tiktok

Professor Beal was an amazing professor, she was very understanding and had a very clear and easy grading criteria. if you need help, she will take the time to help you. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!

-Professor, Beal is very sweet. She cares for her students and wants them to do well. Her class is easy if you just complete the assignments on time, but if you fall behind the work load can be alot, she was lenient and understanding when it came to deadlines. Overally, a nice professor truly enjoyed her class.

She really connects with me and allows us to get some time for other classes. She also lectures really well

This professor was amazing. She took late assignments, offered extensions, and extra credit. She also replaced some lectures days with study sessions to personally help students. For the course specifically, it was not too hard at all. I expect to get an A or no lower than a B in that class. I would 100% chose this professor for a class again.

Prof. Beal was one of my favorite professors by far this semester, she's very lenient on grading and with the coursework, she's super generous, and her lectures are easy to understand. Just participate in the projects, read the slideshows and materials, and you'll get a good grade.

Dr. Beal is super willing to extend due dates and accept late work. I would consider myself the opposite of tech-savvy (like I literally do not understand technology at all), and I still managed to get an A+ in this class. She also has a bunch of really easy extra credit opportunities to help offset stress. I highly recommend taking her class.

Professor Beal is one of the BEST IT professors in Nova. I took her Multimedia software class. The assignments are very easy you copy the examples you see in the powerpoint they are also done in class. The lectures are short and easy to understand. The projects are the only homework and there is one project once a month.

She is a very nice teacher who helps you out if you have difficulties doing an assignment.She lets you extend deadlines if you missed them, but you need to talk to her .Communication is key for her

Overall, she was a great teacher; she helped the students a lot, and her lessons were well-planned and helpful. Recommend her.

-Professor, Beal really cares about her students and wants them to do well. Take her you wont regret it!!

Professor Beal was incredibly kind and supportive throughout the course. She offered many opportunities for extra credit, which really helped enhance the learning experience. Overall, I had a wonderful time in her class and truly appreciated her teaching style. I highly recommend taking her class—you won't regret it!

Professor Beal is a sweet and caring instructor. Her class is an easy A, but the material can be a bit boring. Using unstuck study and the free textbook helped me stay on top of the assignments and do well in the course.

Easy class and all assignments are very easy.

Any poor reviews should be ignored, Professor beal is Amazing. She is flexible when needed, and makes sure her students know the material. I had an amazing time taking this course!

Very easy class as long as you keep up with the online lectures and homeworks. In person lectures are very easy as well, usually let out early. Exams are pretty easy and she allows for lots of extra credit. Shes very sweet and kind and understanding with the workload and isnt very strict with due dates.

Dr. Beal's class was very light in work if you get it done on time.

Great teacher who is very kind and cares about her students. Class is very homework based, however the homework is not that hard.

Very nice professor. She is an understanding and easy grader. Easy class.

I typically have troubles understanding what most professors say. But Yan is very clear and straight forward.

Enjoyed having this class for the first 7 weeks of my 2nd semester. Very funny and lectures provided enough information without being overly long and dragging. Would recommend her if taking any classes related to excel at NOVA.

The material is very easy to understand and get a good grade on it, if you simply follow directions. Attendance is not mandatory, but you do get extra credit if you attend more than 80% of the class. She is very nice and gives a lot of extra credit opportunities.

if you want to get a good grade and learn a lot about spreadsheets, you should consider taking her class.

She is very nice and caring. She let us do the assignments at our pace, so it was not stressful. Attendance was for extra credit, and we got the chance to do test in class. Open note.

i typically have issues understanding most lectures from professors in general but Beal is very clear and straight forward, she is very helpful and insightful with the courses.

She is a really nice and sweet professor. She doesn't rush us when doing the assignments and is always there to help us. Plus, she is also very caring.

Prof. Beal is a kind and chill professor. This is my second time taking one of her IT classes, and I highly recommend her. The workload is reasonable and manageable. I would definitely take her class again!

Extremely caring and understanding

I had to retake this course because my first experience was horrible. I took it in the summer and didn't realize how fast-paced it would be. I had to drop it because the professor gave a lot of assignments and big projects with very little time. I'm so thankful I found Prof. Beal. She was the complete opposite—very flexible and understanding!

PROFESSOR YAN BEAL???? THE GOAT. Professor Beal is undoubtedly the greatest professor. She's super caring and, unlike other teachers, understands that you have more than one class. She's super lenient on all of the work she assigns. Take her, trustt

Out of all the professors, Prof. Beal is the one you NEED! I am not exaggerating when I say it's one of the smoothest, easiest, and fastest feeling class you will take. Coming from someone like me, I'd find it IMPOSSIBLE for anyone to fail this class unless your trying too. She is the sweetest professor you will have, she is GREAT!!

this teacher was very flexible in the class. She understand the students. Her teaching method is very good . I will recommend this teacher to other students.

Yan Beal cares a lot about her students and her class was not too much to digest. The module set up can be the only thing about the course thats confusing, but she is very flexible and helpful with the course work. I would recommend her again.

Professor Beal is amazing! Her teaching style is one of a kind. She does this all while having a workload that is not too much to digest. She is really the only professor that I've had who understands that students have other classes.

Professor Beal is an incredible and caring professor, she always puts the students first no matter what, she listens to students requests and takes into consideration what they may have to say. She isn't strict on deadlines either, if anything comes up talk with her and she will 100% allow you to turn it in even after the deadline.

Professor Yan Beal is truly a compassionate individual. She goes above and beyond to make sure we grasp the material in class and generously provides extra credit opportunities for those who strive to excel. Her dedication to our success is evident, and it makes a significant difference in our learning experience.

I wish every professor were like her. She is so caring and understanding. she gave you plenty of time, I would take her again. I got an A in her class.

This professor is a very easy grader and is lenient with late work. Only problem was It felt like there wasn't a teacher there for the online class with their being little to no announcements, comments, or interaction overall during the full class. Overall if you want an easy A this is a good professor, if you actually want to learn then its not.

Professor Beal is super chill and shes also very lenient she gives us more than enough time to finish our assignments and most of the HTML assignments were pretty easy as she would give us the examples which helped a lot and the mid term was a project and the final was also a project but optional for extra credit.

Throughout my time at NOVA, Prof. Beal has been the most caring professor out of all of the professors I have had through my time here. The syllabus is very clear but most of the time all of the work is done during class so there really is no other outside work. Prof. Beal is one of the kindest people I have ever met. Thank you !!

This was a great class. As long as you show up to class and submit your work and apply yourself a little bit, you will succeed in this class. She is always willing to help you. She is always asking about the difficulty and if you are doing okay. In conclusion, I recommend her to anyone looking to take any related classes.
