He gives quizzes online, but they are the same as the Wiley plus quizzes online. The tests are fairly hard so study! He just talks the whole class and tells irrelevant stories, but they are entertaining.

Comment:
Tests are very easy, but I couldn't tell you one thing I learned in the class. He just read off the power point slides and that was all the information we needed. Also had a group paper at the end of the semester on a textbook we never used. Not a hard class, but he's not a very engaging teacher.

Did not learn a thing. Great man! Mid-Term and Final only. You get extra credit for going to class since it is optional to attend. Take this class, but not if you are a DSS major and actually need to learn this! Hershel is so kind!

Pros: its an easy A. Cons: This guy does not care about class at all. Hard to beleive this guy is the chair of DSS. He didnt even prepare a syllabus for class. You will learn nothing and its hard to give effort when he gives less than none to preparng for the class. Just show up and watch the movies he makes you watch -- thats it.

Herschel is the man. No class on Fridays unless you have to take an Excel or Access quiz (easy). He tells you everything you're going to need to know for the exams and tests. It's a super easy class, I would highly recommend him if you're looking for a blow-off class or an easy grade, but definitely not if you're looking to learn.

If you're looking to learn, stay away. If you're looking to get the class done with a decent grade, take him. He lectures one class, with the other being used to show your homework and nothing else. So really, it's one class a week. The hw can get tedious, but it's easy. Tests are so-so, but you can pass without studying. Take him, it's easy.

Class is a piece of cake. The tests are hard, but the assignment are easy, although time-consuming. Herschel is such a nice guy though and very understanding. He'll help you out if you need it.

I do not know why I should goto the class when all we are supposed to work is the office book. The instructor does not teach much, just asks us to work and get the hw checked. The attendance is not required. Take this one if you are looking for an easy course.

Class is pointless, hardly takes attendance. Fridays you are there to get your work checked and then your done.Lately hes been takin attendance but someone can always sign u in. Tests are kind of tough, but he says the excel, access and powerpoint are worth more. no big deal. i hear hes the best in the department. take him!
