Comment:

This class is terrible. If you don't need this for your major, then STAY AWAY. The instructor is one of the worst you can have. He just reads off the power point and doesn't even show you how to use the windows program. You will have no clue how to do the assignments unless you have a background with this stuff.

Comment:

He is a friendly and entertaining guy but not the best professor. He is very intelligent, but his only teaching method is running through a PowerPoint presentation. Wont post grades on blackboard or much of anything. We never even turned the computers on in this class. Unless you're good at programming (really good like I am) don't take him.

This class is a joke. Take it online or with another professor. Unless you would like to know everything there is to know about West Virgina OH & ALIENS! Waste of my time & money.

Comment:

boring. hard to follow. I had 7 people total in my class including me and I went every other day. I think out of the every other day i was there i would have maybe one or two other students there with me. And he has those days when you need to team up its horrible. Hated that class. Take the other cpt 150 man I heard he can keep interest.

Comment:

This gentleman does not return emails or have much ability to communicate with students. He seems to prefer to teach directly from a powerpoint and fails to incorporate everday examples/applications.

Comment:

Mr.Ballentine is one of the finest educators that I have had the honor of being instructed by. He gives you the knowledge and tools but it is up to you to succeed or fail. Doesn't return email's but he is a great person, friend and cares about his students. He actually takes time to learn your name and you likes and dislikes. Thanks again Mr.B!

He seems like a nice enough guy. I just do not feel I am learning as much hands on computer related tasks as people who are taking the same course from a different instructor.

Good Instructor I enjoyed both his CPT-151 and CPT-181 Classes and I would recommend him. He had a good sense of humor which made the class more enjoyable.
