Comment:

Udo is an alright prof, his classes are pretty boring. He talks all class, goes over power points, no breaks. Has 5 quizzes and you mainly just have to study all the definitions in the power points and important info to pass the midterm and exam. one midterm, an excel test, and a final along with assignments. Takes a while to respond to emails.

Comment:

Udo is a very straightforward man, ended with an A+. Very simple subject, if help is required he will stop and help. It doesn't take a genius to maneuver through excel and word; just follow along. If you don't understand stop and ask questions or get left behind. No breaks r offered b/c he ends the class slightly early. That is fair. I'd recommend.

He is the worse prof that I ever had. If you want to boost your GPA, don't choose him. *Long assignments, hard marker, Long lectures without breaks, no idea how the exams will be (no pass paper or explaining about exams, sometime not get the midterms back)*

Worst instructor at KPU. Take him at your own risk. Highly unorganized and exams are almost impossible to pass.

Comment:

This is an introductory course. Let me start by saying, clueless instructor. Exams are tricky and hard. Little connection with his students. Tough marker. Extremely lazy professor who blames his failures on his students. He also does not answer emails.

Comment:

This guy has to be one of the worst professors at KPU. DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE WITH HIM. He is an absolute idiot who does not know how to teach and do not believe the comments here. Literally the whole class is failing and the average for the midterm is 57%. He specifically stated that this is a weeder course and he is obligated to make it tough.

CBSY 1105 is really easy to begin with so its not hard to do well. Udo's classes are boring but still informative. Don't buy the textbook.

He's an alright prof. Sometimes his lectures carry on and on to the point where you wont get a break. But his assignments are straight forward and to the point. I bought the textbooks but didnt even use them.

He's a really nice guy, and always willing to help you out. The class material is pretty dull- his lectures seem very long. If you read the power points and do the end of chapter questions you should be fine.

For someone who is 60 , he is in really good shape. Basically the class is really easy.. Just do assignments and you will get an A.I took a night class and i liked that he didn't take a break but let us out early. DO NOT BUY TEXTBOOK JUST BUY THE SAM CODE

Comment:

The material is easy if you are already familiar with computers. However, I don't credit my grade to him at all. Took a night class where over half the class worked full time, yet he doesn't give breaks. His excuse was people leave. Then let them leave...I need a break after working all day then going to this boring class. He's also rude.

Comment:

This should be an easy course and is to a point.. His assignments are unclear and if your version of the applications does not allow like a certain font for example your loosing marks. Udo has a very monitone, voice and speaks to fast so its easy to get lost quick but yet very easy to Google how to do something. Hate this class/ teaching style.

Just go to class and do the assignments then u should get an A. If you can't even get an A in a class this easy in a school this easy, then i got some bad news for you my friend. Don't buy an usb cuz u'll just end up losing it with all ur files in it. Just email all the files to urself.

Comment:

If you do your homework, you'll get at least an A. He's nice, funny, and easygoing. All you need for class is the SAM 2010 code (buy from bookstore--online's more expensive) and a USB stick (or gdocs/dropbox). Go to class or tag-team it (get notes & files from whoever attended) so you know what to do for homework if you don't have the textbook.

Comment:

I have never see an entire classroom of students collectivly fall asleep at the same time. he does what he can with and extremly dull course. However i think i learned more about amazon than anything else in this course. Also for a computer prof, try answering an EMAIL for once! 3 email remain unreplied.( one was in reference to a midterm.)

Comment:

I never actually fell asleep in a class before... he is very clear but the course is sooo boring. Books were a waste of money, however you need the online course code. Buy that separate if you can, we never needed the books. Udo was nice enough, its not his fault the class sucks but he doesnt answer emails and the moodle never has anything on it.
