This guy is amazing. His explanations are by far the most clear I have ever heard from any professor I've taken. Take his class, you will learn a lot. He also gives very clear instructions prior to tests so you know what to expect.

Mr. Pappas is an fine professor. I just don't think we are given enough small projects. Small assignments help you learn what you are doing and stay up to date.

Comment:

I really like Pappas! He teaches very well, and he is really a lot of fun. Our midterm test in his class was murder, but the final was much easier. He also grades on a curve, so if you're not doing well in the beginning, I recommend you stick it out. Once he gets to know you, he's much more lenient. Funny guy too! I think the world of him!

Comment:

He's a good teacher and I learned a ton in his class but his tests are ridiculously hard for no reason. The tests don't have anything really to do with the material as much as it does defining meaningless words. He teaches the methods very, very well but his tests make the class avoidable if you want an A.

Comment:

He has the best damned work ethics period. He takes every second of every class to explain your next assignment. When I finished his class, I knew that I knew the material. He's funny for a bald guy too. Oh ya, and he has great taste in youtube videos. Ask him to play weird Al's palindrome video for you.

Very helpful instructor, many examples to help students learn, asks for feedback and is easy to communicate with. Easy if you took his into class. One of the best IT instructors at the university and an overall funny guy.

He is a good teacher, but if you aren't ready to work or understand the material, you'll get lost quickly. Atleast he knows what he's talking about.

Took E-commerce online with Pappas. One of the few who had a well planned Web CT page and responded quickly to any questions. Also, a great advisor to have.
