Dr. Petryk was very passionate about the course and was energetic in class. I enjoyed coming to class in the mornings because she showed passion for the material.

Professor Mariia was great at giving us ample amounts of information and allowing us to work in groups for assignments so we could better understand the course content.

Professor Petryk’s expertise in the subject matter helped me understand the material, as she explained all the concepts in a way that I could understand. She also provided a good mix of lectures, reading assignments, and group projects, so I felt as if I learned the material through many different mediums throughout the course. She also engaged students every class, so we got a sense of participation and collaboration which can sometimes be difficult with an online class.

MIS 303 Introduction to Business Information Systems, Undergraduate level

This course teaches students to think digitally in business: How do firms do business in a digital age? Why do businesses utilize data? What data can strengthen the competitive advantages of firms? What technology do they need to store, process, and analyze data to extract meaningful insights? Using real-world examples, I aim to show the importance of digital literacy for organizations and professionals. Students gain exposure to analytical and database management tools in the process.

Moreover, I wanted to express my gratitude for your guidance and support throughout this semester. The knowledge you shared, especially on SQL, has been invaluable. I've already applied what I learned in my current internship, which has made a significant difference.

Thank you once again for your dedication to teaching and for your mentorship. I am looking forward to staying in touch and, hopefully, crossing paths again in the future.

I also wanted to take the chance to thank you for orchestrating an informative and professional course this semester. I have gained a lot of skills that I can directly apply in my Accounting Assistant role at FCPS under your instruction. Some of the excel skills we learned especially have helped me in my daily routine. I truly appreciate it!

I expected to continue learning about mostly computer applications like excel and access. I'm glad we started the course the way we did by learning terms and models first, so we had an informational background that pertains to what we are learning in the applications.
