Great professor! If you're an IT student, this class is an easy A. If not, Mike does a great job explaining how things work and why. He's very understanding with assignments, and won't mark things late if they aren't turned in the minute class starts. Funny guy, too!

Maybe he's a different instructor in person, but he is not a good online instructor.

Comment:

I love him as a teacher and as a person! and i love that he is able to joke with me! That is exactly the kind of teacher i always look forward to having. He is also very clear, always happy to help and usually jolly and upbeat with a hint of sarcasm once in a while.ask questions if you don't understand a and you will be right as rain.

Fantastic professor. Clearly laid out all material. Tests were easy to study for. Made it as easy as could be to learn what seemed like an originally overwhelming amount of information. Made class very fun.

Ok, look people, You Can't say he's a bad professor, just because you were sleeping in the back of the class and didn't pay attention to instruction. If you don't understand maybe you are in the wrong Major.

He is one of the few really good teachers and he makes everything clear in class. He helped so much (especially when Blackboard was acting dumb, he made no point in being angry, its the computers fault :P )

Comment:

Didn't help with problems or not being able to understand the work. Didn't explain the material, just expected you to read the book and understand. Was very unfair with grades and expected you to know everything at even when it wasn't taught.

He's a huge nerd, but a pretty funny guy if you're a nerd too. Seems easy-going, willing to work with you if you have a problem.

He's a great Professor and a friend. I'm and always energetic student and hes right there with me. He makes the class fun. Its not just listening to him but he helps you a lot and does it as if he has been in our seats. He knows how and what he is doing and is a great teacher to have for my first year of college. Great Professor; no one beats him!!

Very nerdy and a little crazy, but a great teacher over all. He has a lot of real world knowledge and taught the class how to install a ton of operating systems.

what a waste. spent more time 'trying' to be amusing than teaching. too sarcastic and boasts about his skills too much. NEVER take another class with him, even though it was an easy "A".

Really provided interesting concepts and discussion for each chapter of the book, Brought in research assignment to help better understand the concepts. Always enjoyed listing to the discussion and hitting the high points of the concepts. Also gave a sneak peak at security topics with a few handson labs.
