Comment:

Words cannot describe the frustration.I sent him like 20 emails about specific test questions in which obvious mistakes were made by the author, and got the same cut-and-pasted response every time.The he would ask me what class? which test? although I repeatedly told him. I want to make a formal complaint to the department. This class was nonsense.

Comment:

This old man should retire. I knew more about computers then he does, and that's not saying much. He would never answer my questions because he didn't know the answer! He does not teach or show you how to do anything, I taught myself everything in that class. It would have been nice to actually have a teacher who knew what he was talking about!

Comment:

This guy is crazy...I'm not a computer genius but I knew way more than him! I never went to class,& I got an easy A. He doesnt care if you go, just show up for tests.Its easy, but annoying and really boring. He's old and the class pretty much just sucks, he cant/doesnt teach.Also make sure he gets ur grade right,a lot of times he enters them wrong!

Boring class. He didn't teach much. Students are expected to take computer tests without being taught how to do the commands the tests ask you to do. Very frustrating. Would not recommend.

Comment:

Horrid waste of time. Nothing was learned, no discussion. It was online and the students were pretty much left out in the cold the whole time. Class average on every test was less than 60. He didn't even write his own test questions. This guy seriously needs to retire, I think he is past his time by far.

Comment:

Why is this old guy teaching a COMPUTER class? he wasn't too helpful and wasn't always sure of the questions or his answers. Didn't make you go to class but had homework you can work on anytime anywhere. Easy A if you do the work.

Comment:

This class was easy but he is old and hazy on things sometimes. I think young people should be teaching computer classes. You can e-mail, IM or whatever on the computers. I knew about computers when I took this class and he acted like I was Stupid and knew nothing. DON'T TAKE HIM!

Comment:

Worst CIS 101 teacher ever! This is intro to computers, but his tests assume you are a computer science major who is in your final semester of school. The only test I got better than a 70 on was the microsoft word test. Don't take the Drakester!

Comment:

This guy is the worst professor I have had yet. He confused himself so many times! He made powerpoint presentations then delivered them in class and forgot why he put some slides up there. He is a jerk and doesn't care about his students. Don't take him at all--maybe they'll fire him that way!

Comment:

He is horribly borring-mean and rude. Sure you can do anything in his class-and he doesn't make you stay-but you shouldn't have tp FIGHT for a B in a crappy class like comp. He won't fix your grades even when it is his mistake-and he completly messed up my tests-he is a jerk-stay away!

Boring, plain, dry sense of humor. No homework, tests were hard, and you could do anything you wanted during class.

Comment:

Dr. Drake is one of the worst teachers I have ever had. His first test was not the one the department mandated be given and all but 4 people in the class flunked it. It was simply rediculous. Furthermore, he is a very boring teacher and does not teach anything.

Comment:

I take this teacher's intro to computers class. He might be good if it weren't 8 a.m. and he just talks along to his powerpoint presentation. His lectures don't prepare you for tests. If you're not a morning person DO NOT take his class before noon!

Comment:

Class is very boring, he isn't very helpful, and you have to remind him to fix your grades. He once told me that he was to busy to fix my grade. The class is easy because he doesn't teach crap. This class is really boring though.

so boring but you just get the work done and you can do whatever you want. He doesn't even know the answers to your questions, he will just mumble on, but he's a nice guy.

He is pretty boring;however, you can do whatever you want on the computers while he is teaching. You are hardly ever there the full class time!
