Comment:

Pepe is amazing! We had assignments spread through the semester, group project, and two online exams + the final. Pepe's extremely clear on what he expects from you, and quickly replied to any questions I had about the assignments. He really wants you to succeed, and he's always willing to help. One of the easier and most enjoyable classes I had.

Pepe is absolutely amazing! His lectures are the perfect length; he doesn't take too long, but he'll slow down and repeat himself if people miss a step. Homework and group project are very reasonable, and he's clear on what he expects for the exams. Also get a cheat sheet for the exams! Wish I could take him again.

Comment:

Professor Pepe is easily the best CIS professor at Bentley. Does a great job at going over the material, and will go the extra mile to make sure that you get it. Makes his expectations for the tests very clear, and is honestly one of the nicest professors I have met! Already taken him twice, and haven't regretted it in the least!

Comment:

Great teacher. Best for CIS 150. Explains everything and goes fast enough to end class early but will slow down if people are confused. A master of the casual dress code. Take this if you want to learn but you will also enjoy it if you are interested in CS. If this is your major or minor he makes this an easy class

Comment:

Pepe is a very nice guy and straight forwards. No tricks in class on the assignments or final. The in-class BB quizzes could be tricky because they came right from the textbook which no one really reads. You can earn points on your final average if you have one of the top 5 websites in your class. Easy 3.7/ 4.0 if you do the work and pay attention.

Comment:

Professor Pepe provides an open forum style class, and no question is stupid. He will answer any question at all, and go out of his way to help his students. Also, databases aren't exactly a very abstract concept, so don't expect to do poorly, either.

He's such a sweetheart, and very easy. He gets to his lessons quickly and they are comprehensible, and most days you get out early. He grades stuff really easy. He's very willing to help you out. I would highly recommend this professor!

Great guy, awesome teacher if you like learning from notes. The book is very good as well, but his main teaching style is writing notes on the board and THAT IS ALL that is on the test. Great 180 teacher as well

Easy class. He doesn't take attendance so you don't have go to class and half the time you get out early. The final is all multiple choice and you get to use a cheat sheet on it.
