I completed the Computer Systems Foundations program with Donabel. She has very clear and helpful lecture notes, and straight-forward assignments and exams; so it is easy to take online classes with her. When you're unable to complete assignments on time, she is understanding and will extend the due date for you. Learned a lot in her classes!

Comment:

Donabel's classes are useful, her slides contents are well-prepared and she presents them clearly. This course is 1.5 credit and is designed to be done in two full days. The final is quite content heavy, you need to memorize all those terminologies then you will be fine.

There are so many good things to say about Donabel. I did a full degree at SFU and have taken a couple courses at BCIT. Donabel is by far the most engaging professors I've ever had, delivering relevant material in a very effective manner. She also makes an effort to know all her students, which speaks for itself. TAKE ALL OF HER COURSES!!!

One hour introductory session on Tableau for Masters Students at UBC. As she said, we went flying. 0 to 60 in one hour. Fast paced but I learned a lot. Cannot wait for the next session.

Comment:

This Tableau class has been instrumental to my professional development. Donabel was great at teaching Tableau and very inspirational. Because there were a lot of hands on exercises and presentations, the class prepared me for my big presentation with our VPs. My employers were blown away by our dashboard project, which we eventually adopted.

Energetic, knowledgeable, and beyond fair; if you put in a good effort expect results. Classes with slow learners tend to get bogged down to the lowest denominator, but I guess them's the brakes in lab-type lecture environment.

Comment:

Full of energy and enthusiastic about the course material (SQL Server), Donabel's classes were a pleasure to attend. Her lectures are long and full and she also piles on the assignments and quizzes, but in the end you feel you got your money and time out of her class.
