Didnt care at all if you learned the material, she gets paid anyways

If your a business student you can not avoid this class, but if you are able to, try and avoid this teacher.

in general...shes not a nice person

All I have to say is that one time she was absent and she video taped herself giving a lecture to the class and had a TA play it for the class. She wore shoulder pads so that would be stuck in the 80's not the 70's.

VERY poorly organized. Little reward for amount of time put in. Most pretentious set of objectives I've ever had to endure at Iowa. Don't worry the homework is manageable because your walked through it. Too bad you don't get anything out of it.

Had her for computer analysis. Absolutely terrible, wasn't organized, didn't teach anything USEFUL (AND SHE HAD AMPLE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO). No wonder there's so few MIS majors, she's the one promoting it. Great reason against tenure.

Possibly the most unprofessional teacher here at the university and by far the worst class any pre business student will ever have to take in their life. If you are reading this an you take the class you are out of your mind. TAKE IT AT KIRKWOOD so you don?t have to deal with this horrible Prof!

Terrible professor. Lecture has nothing to do with lab. Quizzes completely unrelated to what was discussed in lecture. Midterm and Final are the same way. Don't even bother trying to take notes because she goes way to fast. Homework consists of a ridiculous amount of busy work.

When i finish all the homeworks ,the only thing i want to do is to burn it. but i start to realize that i have project and exam to do in future then i calm down. The most freaking thing here is that there are no relationships bewteen lecture and discussion. we need to remember alomost 120 words to prepare for only the final

This was by far the worst class I've taken at the U of I. My advisor says this is the last semester they'll have Computer Analysis(6K070). 2 days/wk in computer lab where you do microsoft office tutorials, 1 day/wk in lecture, where Yvonne throws 1billion acronyms at you per week. They should rename this class to "Microsoft Office and Acronyms 101"

Worst class ever. She does care about students. She is so careless. Not interesting at all. Do not ever take her class

She is just not a good lecturer. Her powerpoint slides are done poorly and she does not make her lectures interesting at all. The projects are not too bad. What really makes the class bad are the brutal lectures and the random information that the tests cover.

Worst teacher I have ever had

This professor is genius! Her existence made me feel desperate in Business Information System. Never take her class again. Oh, Jeez!

AWFUL! This is the worst class that I have ever taken at the University of Iowa, and I regret taking it with her every minute that I am enrolled in the class. She explains things way more complicated than they actually are, and her class is 5x harder than the professor who used to teach in the Fall. Take it with anybody else that you possibly can!

She don't know what the subject is, but always talk about irrelevant things that make her class looks professional.

Worst professor I've ever had at the University of Iowa. I went to her office hours and she told me to Google the answer. She does not do a REAL study guide for exams, she just combines all of her lecture slides. Doesn't know how to teach and makes things way more complicate than needed. Save yourself a headache and take the class online.

Honestly, she is one of the worst professors I have ever had. Her lectures are hard to follow because she goes back & forth between different topics. The course is graded on 5 projects & 2 exams, so you need to do well on exams. Before the exams, she gives a 270+ slide powerpoint, calling it a "study guide" that has tons of mistakes& isn't helpful.

Worst class ever, tests and lecture are super random. Group projects are difficult but if you go to TA office hours, they pretty much spoon feed you the answers. Lecture is a waste of time, just look over the "study guide" she gives you and you'll be fine. Make sure you have a good decent partner or you're in for a bad time, if so, work alone. GL

Don't take a class with her, AT ALL. If you have a chance take a class online or in an off semester with Prof. Pant

Does anyone know whats going on? Because I sure as hell dont.

Haven't learned a single thing and have been present in the lecture for at least a total of 20 hours. She also teaches a class involving technology but doesn't know how to work her computer.

Her lectures portray zero of what is assigned for readings. Her readings give zero help with homework on Access and Excel. This is the most disorganized course I have ever taken. I'm not really sure what I am actually supposed to be learning?

A month later, and I still don't know what is going on. I sit here attempting to study for the midterm, however her "review guide" is a collection of all 250+ lecture slides. Why is she teaching? It is clear that this is not her passion. When the attendance doesn't work half the class gets up and leaves. lol. This class is a JOKE. Keep this in mind

She's the worst professor in Tippie. Run while you still can.

Seriously, her lecture is really unorganized. It is really confusing when you are having a lecture have nothing to do with your actual assignment. Basically, you will need to attend every single lab to make sure you learn new contents that will be helpful for assignments. Jesus, please make this course consistent in the future UIOWA!

She was so difficult to work with. Any emails you write- give about 72 hours for a response. DO NOT recommend.

This is the WORST professor I have ever experienced. She is an extremely rude person VIA email and refuses to talk to you. She does not respond to emails quickly. I do not recommend to anyone. She wants you to fail.

I am a graduate student and know Python, R, and a decent amount of Java. VBA is easy with that foundation, but I have never been exposed to such an incompetent professor. People from different backgrounds seem to be struggling and rightfully so. She does not understand how to change with the times and her archaic teaching style shows that. Avoid.

It isn't every day that you take a class where every student in the class seems to know more than the professor.

Was not helpful whatsoever. She locked our overall grades until the end of the semester, so if a student wanted to see if they needed to improve their grade, they have to do the calculations themselves. Also unhelpful with software bugs. I had the software crash halfway through a test, and when I emailed her about this, she told me to study more.

One of the worst professors I've ever had. Not even knowledgeable on the subject. Avoid

She doesnt understand my question at all, she was basically against students. She also has no idea of what she is teaching.

There's debate about whether MJ, kobe, or lebron are the GOAT, but one thing that's for sure is that Galusha is the WOAT. Doesn't teach you the necessary materials for the assignments and moves way too fast in lectures. Not a single person knew what was going on half of the time. Avoid at all costs.

You will hate her. The class is very challenging and she definitely doesn't help at all. I have found lectures to be completely useless. I had her for a completely online BCE class (she didn't even teach) and I didn't think she was even qualified to do that. If you aren't sure about BAIS being the right major for you she won't help that feeling.

It is clear Yvonne possesses a minimal understanding of the concepts in this course. Her lectures consisted of outdated and text-heavy PowerPoint slides. Class assignments were often misaligned with the material learned in class. She puts very little effort into her class but expects students to stay engaged and submit their best work. Avoid!

No instruction by her. She would post a short video and then the lecture periods were to code things that we have never seen before. Following staring blankly at your screen for both lecture days because you did not know what to do, the TA would give a lecture about the topic, which wouldn't help because Yvonne had already moved on.

Already two months into the course and I still don't know what I'm doing. I sit in the computer lab and do the assignments and projects for hours.

Ended up having to drop the course due to the lack of resources to assist in better learning the material along with the fact that she would not give me an extension on an assignment even though I had a medical emergency. If you ask for an extension under any circumstances she becomes accusatory and disrespectful. Not an encouraging professor.

All of the reviews below are exactly how I felt and I'm kicking myself for not checking this sooner. This graduate course was equally chaotic, too wordy, too much stuff, no connection to lecture content. Assignments were confusing. I don't recommend taking a course with her. Agile is a very interesting subject. Such a miss for the UofI.

BCE was extremely easy, just stay on top of things. Watched one of her lectures and it was arguably terrible to understand/learn. If the course wasn't self-paced and self-taught I would be getting a very bad grade.

Even the TA has issues with her, he never knows what we've covered in lecture. He even pointed me to a Python learning program bc she's so bad. MBA students have said our assignments are hard, and this is supposed to be introductory level. She'll make you want to drop BAIS as a major (but don't, I promise it gets better). Just get through it.

Huge disconnect between her, the TA and the homework. You can't teach python in a lecture setting and she teaches it in a very confusing way. Homework is very hard in comparison to examples. Also rude during office hours. TA is awesome he just gets confused on why she teaches python the way she does.

The absolute worst teacher I've ever had. She had 0 clue of what she was teaching and her lectures consisted of reading through slides she stole randomly from the internet.

The site used to turn things in went down right before the deadline. Showed her a screenshot of being unable to upload my project. Gave me a 0 anyway and told me to suck it up.

Emailed her once, but she was rude and no help. Class can be completed on your own if you have an understanding of the programs in which you are tested on. However, if you're like me and aren't familiar with these programs, you wont be learning from this professor and will find that the exams are given with an unfair time limit.

Very easy class but get it done ahead of time (I did the entire class in the first week) because you get 0 late credit and the professor does not help you she will just say figure it out.

Class content isn't too bad but if you have poor time management skills you will have a very hard time. Prof is also very unapproachable and will not help you if you have a computer problem. She tells you to suck it up even if your computer isn't working and will give you a zero even if there is a glitch in turning a project in.

With the nature of an Asynchronous-Online class, it is completely up to the student to complete the work. This being said, Yvonne takes this to the next level. Nothing you could ever say or do can get you an extension on any work. About 4 hours a week of easy and extremely mind numbing busy work, non of which you retain.

Very unhelpful professor, especially when facing technical difficulties with my online submissions. Tests are 50 questions for 50 minutes which is highly unreasonable for more difficult units like Excel and Access. Absolutely would not recommend, this is a completely self taught class where a computer program teaches you. She just sends emails.

Lazy professor and impossible tests. She refuses to help with any questions or any technical issues. Tests are 50 questions in 50 minutes through a simulation. It's literally impossible to answer every single question, let alone get them correct.

Not good.

absolutely abysmal.

The lack of teaching/resources/help definitely makes this class harder than it should be. Not to mention, exams are entirely unfair. 1 minute per 1 question on an unreliable and defective simulation program (it bugs out constantly and doesn't let you use keyboard shortcuts). You seriously might fail if you aren't familiar with computers.

All around I had a very disappointing experience. Extremely boring homework, very difficult exams, and little to no help available. In addition to this, the professor expects one TA to respond to hundreds of students emails... seems a little inefficient.

A very straight forward class but contains indolent teaching. You teach everything to yourself in this class. When you need help, you can email a SINGULAR teaching assistant that takes days to respond (not his fault, he is the only TA). Exams are horrible, especially for hard units. Good luck if you don't have a background in computers.

Her dismissive response to my explanation of a minor formatting error on an assignment, along with her heavy reliance on automated systems and unavailability during office hours. I advise future students to approach her courses with caution due to her lack of professionalism, ineffective teaching methods, and poor communication skills. AWFUL

Only does the bare minimum to help.

This Professor refused to assist me when the grading system made many errors when grading my assignments. She has too much faith in the system, so much so that she blames the students when it does not work.

Honestly the laziest teacher at the university. Doesn't do anything and gets paid. If you want help she'll tell you that you should have started it sooner or say you need to re read my announcements. Hoping that for everyones sake in the future that has to take any of her courses they have hired someone else.

She doesn't respond to emails and if she does she acts like its an inconvenience to. If you dont have a background using computers your screwed. She doesnt care and if your struggling on something you have to figure it out yourself. If you dont do the steps exactly like SimMet does then you dont get the points so you have to do it the long way

She is so bad at communicating and expects us to fully learn the course online. Tests are nearly impossible and doesn't make sense to have only 1 min per question. DON'T recommend.

This professor is useless when asking for help and redirects you to her one TA who will take days to respond. The grading software is sometimes based on a completely different checklist making it so that you are guaranteed to miss points on projects. Extremely hard deadlines with no room for adjustment including things out of your hands.

Worst, most useless, most rude professor in all of Iowa. Seriously. I have never hated someone so much. She is actually the worst. Extremely condescending and rude, does not do ANYTHING other than send emails. Literally. She is a TERRIBLE human being.

She teaches nothing. When emailing for a question she tells you that she does not answer your emails her TA does. The TA will respond in 3 days after the assignment was due with nothing useful. During her timed tests, if you press the wrong button the question is wrong.

Doesn't communicate with students, all the coursework is online and can do it at your own pace.

You will never learn anything from her, so if you aren't willing to teach yourself, this is not your course

Not a fan of her. Her group assignments were strange and sometimes required an over-the-top amount of work. It was manageable being in a group in terms of quantity, but the quality suffered and felt like we were just trying to check a box instead of actually doing something meaningful. Not a tough grader, thankfully.

She is not understanding nor willing to work with you. Always seemed bothered when needed to answer questions, and the TA doesn't respond to your question within a week at best.

This has been and probably will be, the most dreaded class that I had to take as a part of my general business undergrad. I have taken Microsoft courses before and this is by far the most drawn out and useless textbook I have seen yet. She is not cooperative nor caring for your grades. If I had a pass to skip any business core, I'd pick this one.

If you take this class, be prepared for little preparation from the textbook, and projects that are a joke. No help from Yvonne, and I'm not sure she understands her own class either. The extremely buggy software is the main issue, if you accidentally click white space during an exam, it can cost you points. ancient tech, bad prof, L class

The professor is extremely unhelpful and lacks all understanding of school it seems, wont even push out an extension when a project does not work because of technical errors they could fix, does not help when problems arise, and the software used is very bad

It's hilarious but I received an A+ in this class. I've never met a more useless professor. I joined her office hours on a zoom to a blank screen and sat there speaking for 4 minutes and just left—she never responded. Somehow she has a TA so don't reach out for content questions cause she's clueless. Genuinely can't understand how's she's employed.

The class itself is very easy but the Access portion can get a little tricky. The professor though, isn't good. It seems like emailing her is disrupting her peace because her responses are so backhanded. The online textbook is absolutely awful to use. Extremely buggy and so many errors. Don't worry about the work though, it's easy to do.

the class is SO EASY and i would fully recommend it, my problem tho is the prof she doesn't make anything very clear at all and acts like you are personally disrespecting her if you email her with a question. She has a very bad attitude and even better the TA also is bad at answering questions too. Access portion can get a little tricky but not bad

Website used for the class is extremely buggy will use an old system software for the practice portion and a completely different version for the tests and projects. Teacher is absolutely zero help wouldn't take this course if it was not required.

She has no real world experience and you can tell in the group project. The only thing realistic about the class is that the templates and how-tos are incorrect and you have to figure it out for yourself like your daily job. Be ready to waste time and be frustrated in the process. She's an easy grader though so you should get out with an A
