Probably the easiest class you'll ever take. Attendance is mandatory but you don't need to do anything in class. You can sit on your phone the whole lecture, do whatever you want. All tests in this class are open note, even the final exam. There are no real due dates, she'll accept anything at any time. You get a 100 just for submitting something.

I had Professor Xie for Intro to Computer Apps. The class was easy but it IS mandatory and she takes off points if you aren't present. There was easy online homework each day. She is lenient and willing to be flexible with assignments. Shes can be hard to understand but she is nice and caring. I enjoyed the projects she reviewed at in class.

Im not sure Xin Xie is a real person, she assigns Pearson and a few projects, if you do the work you will get an A+. Her lectures have noting to do with what we are working on in class. Honestly just zone her out and do MyIT and the projects and you won't have work outside of class. One of the most oblivious people I have ever seen.

Prof. Xie's Intro to Computer Apps included online coursework through Pearson. Easy class, but very tedious. Required for my major. She is a very kind and caring individual.

She does not speak loud enough or clearly at all so noone on the otherside of the classroom can hear her so I am not learning anything in this class at all. It is really concerning me and my ability to learn anything in this calss.

she takes forever to grade anything while also holding students to an unrealistic expectation of timeliness given the amount of minor assignments and busywork she assigns. If you pay attention and do the work you'll get an A, but she won't teach you anything. She is incredibly lazy and bad at planning ahead given how disorganized her class is.

It was easy, but I had to rely soley on the textbook and the internet for guidance. Quizzes are easy, so are the assignments. Assuming you do the assignment and it works properly, she'll give you a 100. She doesn't communicate very well in response to student questions. She's very nice, but not a good teacher, by any means.

Nice lady and all, just not a very good teacher. She lacks the ability to communicate effectively with students. She does not answer questions in a very straightforward manner nor is she clear about instructions for assignments. However, the class is easy enough that I could get an A without needing her help so I wouldn't say don't take her.
