Comment:

He's a really good professor, and he clearly cares. He does the flipped-classroom teaching style, which is valuable, but, you know, annoying. My biggest criticism of him is that he is very vague with instructions, but if you ask him what you want to know yourself, he will be more specific.

Comment:

An established researcher and a wealth of knowledge and experience. Assignment criteria were sometimes less than 100% explicit, but this is grad school: don't expect to have him hold your hand, and don't expect a stellar grade for simply checking all the boxes. He works hard to make impart necessary professional competencies and background.

Organized class presentations. Tough class, lots of pre-class preparation, but I learned a lot! Prof very accessible. This is a core class that introduces the profession to students. Overall really well done.

Prof. is very straightforward and organized, but you need to take it upon yourself to ask questions if you want a good mark.

Comment:

Information systems course for dummies must be really hard to teach - students with absolute no computer background are "expected" to know all the hardware, write html and create user interface. I mean - excuse me!It takes years to study stuff like this, not 12 weeks. No teacher can be good enough!

Comment:

needs to divulge all aspects of project evaluation BEFORE it is handed in. Lectures are unnecessary just read the required readings and memorize them. No thinking is required here just sheer rote memory work. Reflects the pathetic state of library science
