Lectures are done completely off the slides that he posts online. Quizzes are all multiple choice and done online. Grades fairly easily.

Comment:

His lectures are boring, but he knows it. The PPTs are straight from the textbook and always posted so don't even bother going to class unless it's a lab session. He's not a bad guy, it's just the course material itself is boring.

Comment:

I took Info101 and 102 with this prof. Going to him for extra help was the most frustrating this. He was never there during his office hours, and when he was there he was minimal help. He is very rude when he has to explain something twice. But he sure does know his stuff, just doesn't know how to teach it very well. Boring class overall!!

Comment:

Easy yet boring professor. INFO 101 is the biggest joke you'll take in Business at X. Just get through the course and forget everything except the practical MS Office work. Reads off outdated slides but they're posted online so class is definitely "optional". Easy midterms, projects and final exam. Nice guy but class material should be better.

Comment:

More or less just read the slides during most classes. Although it is dry material, so I can see how engaging students could be a challenge. Nice and approachable man, very willing to help students who ask for it.

This professor really likes it when you engage/participate in his class. Ask questions when your not sure. If you are somewhat interested he will appreciate you and recognize it. Overall he is a good prof.

Avoid, Ive had him for at least 4 different classes from first year to fourth in IS department. you will not learn anything over his stumbling through topics he just wiki'd. and what he does focus on is usualy wrong or completly outdated.

Comment:

I think he is probably a good guy but anyone who gets stuck teaching INFO 100 just gets the worst job possibly so its not his fault. The material is SOOOOOOOOOO BORING! for INFO 100. You only need to go to the labs in this class. don't go to the lectures less its mandatory because u only need to study slide shows for exams.book useless. A+ nvr went

He's a good guy. His classes are pretty boring but he is very fair and an easy marker. He is very good about helping if you are having difficulty.

Great professor and a nice man. Mild mannered, quirky and layed back. A very mosestly intellegent professor in a profession that too often lacks both qualities.

He's incredibly boring and always mumbling. He repeats himself all the time. It takes him 5 minutes to say something that only takes 30 seconds to say. He's nice though.

Comment:

Hossein is an amazingly great professor. Though his midterms and assignments are hard, you'll find that he'll help you get through them. Shows genuine concern for students, and gives candy / timbits during midterms / exams! Overall, Hes an amazing professor, and I would definitely take another course from him. Great Lecturer, Great with students!
