Comment:

Easy class if you review lectures for exams(every other week), and word/excel tests are easy if you just practice online. Attendance wise, you just need 70% to have 100% and that is tracked by iClicker participation every lecture, so you can miss a few classes because the powerpoints are all posted online. Great teacher, easy class

Comment:

This class is an easy A IF you do well on the lecture exams which can be sort of difficult if you dont study. I showed up to lecture & sat on my phone the whole time but you have to show up for iclicker points. However, you only need to end up with 70% clicker to get 100% so you can miss a good amount. Labs are easy and exams are easy if you study

Glenn is really into computers and tries to instill this love of computers into everyone in the class. Lectures can be a little bor If sometimes but there is a lot of useful information that you can use in everyday life with your computer. If you show up, do Simnet training, and go to lab and put in a little effort it's an easy B/B+.

Lectures are long and boring. Class is easy if you are good with technology (word and excel). Definitely makes you work for your grade!

I appreciate how clear Glen has made his grading criteria and class schedule. I just felt as tho his lecture exams had low balled questions on tiny details mentioned in lecture. Word exams are easy A's tho. Didn't enjoy this class, but you might.

Comment:

This isn't a hard class as long as you attend and go to labs. He will never let you out early and he really loves what he teaches, but is a little odd. He expects everyone in the class to love the subject as much as him. Eye clicker is the way he tracks attendance, but attendance is required. He does let you make up missed labs. Just really boring.

Glenn is a helpful professor who doesn't want you to fail. Makeup policies are good. You don't need the textbook but need the SIMnet pass which is pricey. Class is easy as long as you show up with the iClicker. Read his lectures before a test and you're good. Also, do the SIMnet tutorials, very helpful!

Its simple, read the powerpoint lecture slides, do the SIMnet lessons, and don't forget your iclicker and you will get an A. Its simple. Don't make it hard on yourself.

This class is as easy as you want to make it. Do the simnet trainings and you will do fine on those tests. get the easy iclicker points. Hardest part is the lecture exams, but they are fine if you show up to class moderately. Funny guy. Satisfies a major business requirement as well.

Comment:

DO NOT miss lecture ... You'll fail the Lecture Exams & won't receive iClicker credit... STUDY for lab tests (Microsoft, Excel, Powerpoint) through Simnet... If you miss class you can learn the information from the text book, but it's not as easy to understand so I don't recommend it

pay attention to the lectures because you will have a lecture test every two weeks in the lab and make sure to do the trainings online or you won't pass. If you study a little you can easily get a b in the class.

Glenn is the best person I've ever known, let alone best professor. He inspires me in so many ways, I have lost track. His choice in flowy, big print shirts, impeccable. Take this class if you want to have the time of your life, while learning basic computer skills.

Comment:

Glen is a goof ball. He's super clear and very understanding of the students. He talks A LOT and often repeats things, but at least you wont forget what's going onwhen tests are. If you practice for the SIMnet quizzes you will pass. The lecture quizzes were a little more difficult, but probably cause I didn't always pay attention during lectures.

I really love this teachers enthusiasm, but the subject still bores me. Be ready for his long useless talking about nothing, but try to enjoy his sense of humor if you can. Study please, i wish i could fix my grade.

I came into this class knowing nothing and had a complete lack of interest in anything to do with computers. Now I am going to minor in Computer Science! Glenn was amazing and makes things understandable for those with little to no knowledge of computers. Lecture quizzes are tough, but the labs are what really saved my grade.
