He is really nice professor. he is kind, but has specific humor be ready. he puts password on every quiz and assignment, but it does not mean that you need to stay in class for all 3 hours. you always can leave. i would take this prof again!

Enjoys giving his life story more than actually teaching, or being clear in what needs to be done and when!! Do not expect clarity from him.

He actually doesn't explain a lot, BUT I have no idea about computers and I got an A. As long as you do the weekly activities in class you will pass this course with A!

Comment:

Funny professor. He likes to make puns and crack jokes. Sometimes his lectures get bogged down by technical problems but that's ok. I recommend another professor if you need your hand held in access or other ms software. I would take him mainly of the mood he sets and how approachable he is. His class had a great mood all semester.

Do not take him unless you already know excel and powerpoint off by heart. He comes to class, helps you if you need help, however he DOES NOT teach lessons. Everything you do is straight from SAM. All the training, quizes, midterm, and exam is done on SAM. take the online course if you can.

This prof was one of the most down to earth prof i've ever met in this school. Just do the work he tells you to do and listen to what he has to say. He may go off topic alot but in all honesty if you show him that you care about his class he'll give you a really nice mark.

This prof is the most slack prof I've ever had. I am taking an online spreadsheets course and have sent him many emails and he has not replied to any of them, yet he updates blackboard every week. Not impressed with his communication skills!!

Great guy, eager too help with a lot of lame jokes in his arsenal. Sometimes he gets off on tangents and talks your ear off, but he means well. I wish he wasn't so forgiving of people missing tests and assignments, it kind of irks me actually

He knows the material and use concepts. When you finish the course, you know how to apply the concept and use them. I become an expert of the database design. Go forward Carswell. You are the best!

Everyone may find this teacher awkward in the beginning but he's a really funny guy. Tries to get the classes attention with lame jokes to catch everyone's attention and it works! Just make sure you come to class, do your bi-weekly assignments and quizzes and you will do great. I will definitely miss taking this class.

Comment:

Very disappointed with this teacher. Always late, always wasting time during classes, he did not taught more than 3 classes during the whole semester. You will need to study on your own. Another course offered by GB that is just a waste of money. He also has a very strange sense of humor.
