Comment:

Does NOT use the textbook listed on the syllabus!!! Do not think that the Midterm or Final will be based on anything taught or the textbook by Kerzner - it won't be. There are terms in both tests that are from the software development type of Project Management instead.

Comment:

Relatively boring lectures with overuse of PowerPoint presentations. Neither the material nor the tests were difficult. I wouldn't take anything more difficult or engaging with him, but this class wasn't bad.

Pompous. Grandiose. Poor grasp on technology. A lot of slides shows and a lot of stories. He is folksy and charming, but don't look for great insights.

Comment:

He has no technical ability and teaches lab classes. Maybe he should write his own sometime rather than relying on other people to do it for him. He is just another professor that thinks he is doing a good job and in reality does nothing but read a powerpoint. Tulloss > Figg

Comment:

I don't know what this horseshit about hard tests is. His easy were frickin easy. His class was fun and he was great about helping the class learn rather than some hardass teachers. He is however a bit monotone when speaking so tends to get pretty boring giving powerpoint presentations.

Comment:

This guy boring as hell. He can't teach,just reads slides. He put no time into his class and his tests are hard as hell and you have no idea what to study. He covers nothing that is on the test. For this reason I just started skipping class and showing up for tests. He also has wicked huge eyebrows

This guy showed up late every single day, and could never remember what chapter we were on. Basically he didn't care about the class and relied on power points. Worst professor ever.

Figg is a pretty good guy. He's very understanding about making up labs and quizzes if you weren't there. Some of the material I didn't understand though

Comment:

If you are not an ED student and want to actually LEARN about hardware, STAY AWAY FROM FIGG! He knows less that most students knew in 9th grade about computers. He needs his slides to answer ANY questions. What a waste.

Comment:

This professor does not know the material at all. He can't even answer your questions about the test without looking at slides. I am throughly dissapointed. He means well but I don't pay money to feel good. I knew more in 3rd grd than he does now!
