Comment:
I regret taking IT 150 with Cherri, she has smoker voice and blames her allergies for not being able to talk loud. Simple task, get a microphone! Lectures are pointless, she doesn't give enough information to take notes. My lab instructor was always running around class to help students because no one had a clue what we where doing.

Comment:
She is by far the best ITK teacher I have had at ISU. She realizes that the material is boring and skips over alot of useless items. Lets you know exactly what you need to know for future class's and your career. She actually made the class from a Tuesday Thursday class to just a Tuesday one because she knew she could teach the material in 1 class!

Very easy. Half the class was online so we only had to go to class once a week. Only a few tests, one quiz, and an online activity once per week. Very easy to get an A.

Comment:
Lets start by saying this: ITK 150 is the most pointless class you'll ever take. I really think it exists to bleed anyone who has it as a pre-req of their tuition. The fact that it's pointless doesn't help the teacher. You could honestly skip every lecture except tests and probably get away with it. You'll realize that 2 weeks into the semester.

Comment:
She never used Vensim (the program you use in this course) to help us with examples. She did everything on the board, and it was soooo hard to follow. One day she told our class we were full of crap because we didnt understand something. She is NOT willing to give you extra examples for review and tells you that you will do just fine.dont reccomend

Worst teach I have ever had. Tries her very best to make your life as miserable as hers so obviously is. Shows horrid favoritism to some(said one kids name 20 times a class), despises others(guess what she thought of me). Avoid her like the plague.

Easy class, don't really need to attend lectures except for the Access chapter. Labs are mandatory unless you can do them at home and submit them online. Take advantage of the computer labs in the dorms so you don't have to go to the labs. Tests are long but fairly easy if you know the material.

Cheri is a great teacher if you do your part. She doesn't put up with crap and she expects a lot but she is willing to help you if you need it.

She's a great teacher to have for your first programming class. She teaches Java very well, and is usually willing to help you out with any problems that you might have during her office hours. However she can be a little stubborn and picky with grading. Overall though I would recommend her.

She is actually a Great teacher. The material is very though and can be hard to understand if you have no backround in it. She tells you exactally what she wants and you pratice it. The book is huge waste of time, ref. only. If you don't show up you miswell drop.

she was pretty cool; didnt try to trick you on tests; if you keep up with the HW and listen real well in class you should do good. took it the fist time at ISU with Robert Bye and had to drop. got a B this time. she doesnt keep track of attendance and doesnt do pop quizzes, but keep on her good side by going to class and participating.

She's helpful and can can speak english (lol). But she has unpredictable anger. Also, apparently a bunch of kids every semester get 0s on there research paper for plagurism. Watch out for that.

The class itself was rather boring, the PowerPoints as well - overall, I thought the class was extremely easy. I would definately suggest her for a future (ITK) class.

Comment:
She is like the weather, never know what mood she is in. As a result class would not ask many questions. Don't like to give 2nd chances, act as if her class is the only class being taken in the semester. But I must admit, she did have her material together for class,but please don't ever challenge her, could cause dislike through the whole semester

Imagine a female Bill Murray with a bad case of insomnia teaching a class with powerpoint slides. If you could stay awake, the tests were easy with a LOT of bonus which is a plus.

Teacher is very understanding. Helps out when needed and is very clear in her discussions. Writes everything out on overheads, but take good notes and you will do very well on the tests. Final was extremely difficult though.

Good professor, and very fair. Has fair expectations of students and graded very fairly. I wouldn't worry about any class as long as she was teaching it. She's very helpful.
