This class is really easy. You don't learn much and the tests are easy too. Labs are mandatory and there is one paper to write as well as a presentation at the end of the year with your lab team.

Comment:

this is the most boring class ever. all you do is busy work on the tablet pc during lecture and in lab you do pointless research. it's easy though as long as you show up and read the online readings before the test

Comment:

No textbook, all readings are online for free. Exams cover lecture material and online readings. Another big part of the grade is labs, presentation and paper. You will do well IF you get your work done and show up to lab.

Comment:

Gino - boring course, pretty easy. has busy work assignments on tablet pcs for lectures. 2 exams on online readings and in class videos, pretty easy. SHOW UP for labs, huge part of grade if you miss even 1. in lab your team researches a company, team presentation and indiv paper due at end of semester. ALOT of uninteresting busy work.

Comment:

Class is easy- very straightfoward. Just read the articles before the 2 exams and you'll do fine. Use Tablet PCs in lecture and they waste time, but in a good way. Labs are boring- do a paper a week and a presentation at the end of the year. EASY!

Gino is great. The section I'm in is experimenting with Tablet PCs and I'm learning a lot about different technologies. Key to this class is showing up and making the effort to do the work.

Comment:

Gino is a very nice guy but the class is sorta a joke. No one really knows what's the point of this class and what exactly we are suppose to learn. You gain general undertanding fom online readings, but be sure to remember as much from those readings as possible, since the exams are multiple choice and based on the online readings.

Comment:

Easy class, but its meticulous. The questions on the exam are very specific to readings, but not that hard. Gino is cool, but I still don't know what the point of the class was and I got an A. I didn't think his lectures were that clear, jus lots of movies. Go to lecture so you can get the extra points.

Comment:

Gino is a no-nonsense sort of professor who provides many opportunities to do well in this class...he's very supportive of students, even if he comes off a little gruff sometimes. The course itself is quite general but does allow you to learn about a company of your choosing a bit more in-depth.

Comment:

the class is boring but the material isnt to hard. a lot of the test is common sense, but its multiple choice so theyre kinda tricky too. the labs are pretty easy too. overall not a bad class since u have to take it. and u cant miss it because he gives in class extra credit assignments

Gino is well-organized. He also brings in cutting-edge technologies like "Tablet PCs," also video clips and small groups to enliven lectures. Tests and grading very fair.

Comment:

Gino is an okay guy but not a very good teacher. Nevertheless the class is cake. The annoying part is what he teaches is vague and hard to study for. So on exams you're sort of guessing. Extremely easy, but i learned nothing and the important points of the course could have been taught in 2 weeks.
