Review #1 / Course: ISDS 2000 / Instructor: BARBERA F
Decent teacher for a very boring class. Gives note packet and is pretty easy to follow on your own. Class is not very necessary as she does not explain much.

Barbera is great and very willing to help outside of class. Tests come from notes and old exams. Not much effort needed for a good grade.

Barbera's practice test are just like the actual tests! She explains everything very well. It's almost like she is talking to dumb people. She will clarify anything you ask her to. However she is a little nuts.

Just show up to class and pay attention. You have to go to class. She explains everything that is going to be on the test in class. Do the sample test they are exactly what is on the test.

She does a lot of problems in class, which is good. Ifyou're on the smart side, you'll find the material to be pretty easy to learn. For the last test, I didn't even go to class, just learned from the book.

All you need to do is study the old tests that she posts on blackboard and read over the notes for the tests. If you want an A, you should go to every class. She gives bonus points for the final if you answer easy questions in class.

This woman made her class too damn easy to not recommend it. However, her teaching methods seem to overcomplicate very easy material. Old exams are given and are almost identical to what you will see.

The class is hard, but it can be done. The teacher is kind and understands a student's schedule conflicts. She rescheduled a test for all people who had another test on the same day. She is great, but the class is hard.
