Interesting, but too much information

Gasman is a decent professor. Really knows what she is doing but she kind of finds it hard to explain concepts to people. Book is the only way to learn I think, and the book can be awful / not make sense at all. Atchison is great! He wants you to learn the main concepts and is a very fair grader. Midterms can be kinda hard, but theres a curve of course.

Gasman/Fraser is not a very good professor in my opinion. Lectures can be confusing, and when you try to learn from the textbook, you find it's also confusing because she wrote it. Do what you can to stay ahead in this class. The QA portion of the final was AWFUL. Leave lots of time for that.

Atchison is pretty boring in class and often long-winded when it comes to explaining concepts in class, but he is a very nice man and is willing to help in and out of the classroom. Exams aren't too bad and they have decent curves. Do well on his exams and that'll be a nice foundation to get a good grade in 303.

Fraser - nice person, horrible class... but concepts are fairly simple to grasp.
Atchison - AWESOME. Probably most entertaining Block5/6 professor. And his tests are a joke too.

She is now known as Professor Fraser to clear up any confusion. She is a nice person but the material is definitely not the most exciting stuff. She makes it decently easy to do well in the class without reading the textbook or really grasping all the information. This is really too bad because the class revolves around Excel, which is extremely useful to know well, especially in internships.

Professor Fraser walks through the Excel models too fast in class and isn't always friendly about helping students. Also her PowerPoint lectures are really boring. I feel like she should incorporate more examples or interesting stories in her classes.
