Comment:

Worthless, but if you can read you can pass this class. No tests just follow the step by step instruction in each chapter and hand in the assignment. This turned the computer on one time and accidentally displayed the grade book on the overhead for fifteen minutes.

The class was a waste of my life, but a good GPA booster and UP. Exams straight from notes, a bunch of easy assignments, and a lab. Need to go to class everyday for the quizzes.

Comment:

this man attempted to type in microsoft word in class once, and he mispelled every word he typed. He gives one easy test and one hard test, quizzes everyday, and he rambles on about nothing or his grandson's basketball games. i thought this would be an easy class, but he gave me a B on everything. He can be funny because he's so stupid.

This class was super easy. Don't bother buying the book; you won't need it. Just print the notes off blackboard and you're good to go. You have to go to class because he gives frequent quizzes but you can use your notes on those and the exams. If you want an easy class and don't mind showing up for class, it's a guaranteed A or B.

Comment:

Don't buy the book for the course, pretty much a waste of money. As for Professor Thomas, he's a funny, nice guy. He rambles and gets off track frequently, which means most of the class time is wasted by him talking about nothing in particular. Because of the frequency of tests, it is a good idea to go to his class every time. Not a hard professor.

Comment:

Class was SUPER easy. Use the notes on quizzes AND tests but the notes are a little scattered and hard to understand. Bad thing is that he gives quizzes every week but you never know what day they are on so you basically HAVE to go to class. Drops 5-6 quiz grades so you can miss some. ALSO drops lowest TEST grade(including final) DONT BUY THE BOOK

Easy, quizzes are vauge, but you can use your notes. Lab attendance is only required when you take a test, 3 times during the semester. I would just show up in class before the end and take the quiz. No attendance in regular class. Read the sports page for 10 min every day. Can use notes on test as well. EASY EASY EASY

Funny guy. Not always clear and easily sidetracked but he puts notes on blackboard and you get to use them on the tests so I can't complain.

The guy's a complete badass. The only bad thing is that you dont know when the quizzes are going to be. Print the notes off Blackboard and you are basically set..open-note quizzes and tests..

Great prof to have, he doesnt seem to help too much but he is a really funny and easygoing guy and doesnt mind helping if you really need it. The class was easy, I skipped almost all of the time and I got a B. Take him, I would again if I had the option to for a different class.

Easy assignments, quizzes and tests open notes. He will let you drop a few bad quizzes. He let's you know about events on campus before each class, what a guy!! Larry is a riot, great school spirit! Students should be happy some professors still care about the university they teach for!

Awful prof for a college course. You have to go to class or you miss a quiz - but lectures are complete waste of time because he gives you the notes. Tests and quizzes open note but extremely hard! The man is a complete idiot when it comes to computers. He is no help at all!!

This prof is a joke. The class is easy but this guy is soo ridiculous, he goes off on stupid stories that don't relate to anything and says the stupidest crap ever. I'm sure a lot of people would like him cuz he is laid back, but if you ask me it is a waste of $460.95.

I got an A+ on quizzes so I guess I cant really complain. Labs [taught be GA's] are SO easy. Get the notes of blackboard, and go to lecture sessions. If there is anything bad about this class...its just that its boring.

Comment:

Lectures are lame, and you can get the notes off blackboard, except he doesnt tell you when quizzes are so you should go to class, take the quickcheck after every section in the book, and quizzes are a breeze. only HAVE to go to lab like 4 times, the rest you can do on you own and labs are easy!
