Online class: 1 midterm, 1 final, 2 SAP assignments OR 1 SAP paper, discussion board and 5 case studies from the 15 that he gives you. The SAP assignments were very easy. Discussion board and case studies were not a huge part of our grade but easy as well. Final was easier than midterm. Just read tbh, all exams - open book/notes/Internet...

Comment:

Professor is very knowledgeable about this subject and offers good feedback on all homework, tests and projects. You will do well if you do the work each week and post answers to discussion questions and comment on others. You will work for your grade. His chats are not very helpful with subject content, but he's nice to talk to.

Pretty dry material. There was not too much creativity, just straight slides for three hours. But the teacher was nice and helpful.

Comment:

All 12 chapters in the text were covered. There were 9 labs on learning website development using Dreamweaver. Group project involved contacting a local business owner and develop an ebus strategy along with a website. This class covers a lot but is organized in a way that keeps it very interesting. The class is easy if you do the work.

Comment:

Dull, boring class. You learn nothing other than some useless factoids. He uses Dreamweaver 8 which is outdated. I felt like I was in a high school class as the professor whined about people not showing up despite attendance not being mandatory. Very rude personality to boot. Avoid him.

Boring class. One project, two exams, and discussions. Exams are open-book and notes, but you barely get enough to even look through them and they're also tedious. He has no business teaching classes. Should try taking English classes first.

Comment:

Terrible professor. He acts like he knows more than he actually does and should he disagree with you, do not expect a clear explanation why he thinks differently. He stifles the learning environment and oftentimes makes students feel stupid or as if they're inconveniencing him in some way. Avoid him.

Comment:

I really like learning dreamweaver, best website creator program I'd ever used, would have never tried without this class. I don't wanna knock on his teaching becuz really, most of us already know this stuff and it's natural that the students will know more cuz they are involved with computers more nowadays. Ya can't complain about his teachings.

Comment:

Prof. Motiwalla's e-biz class is totally out of sync from e-biz today. His lectures are as exciting as paint drying, and full of incorrent material. Freaquently he required assistance for using the computer during lecture, which does not strike up confidence in someone trying to teach you basic web design. His class fails to teach realworld technology implementation. Exams are ruthless because the questions are from obscure parts of the reading, and are generally poorly worded.

Comment:

Class is extremely boring. Should be a highschool teacher cries about kids showing up late and dont even try to leave during class. Class time is just spent going over slides hes probably been using for years. Tests are difficult and information is from the book not what you learn in class. Tries to be funny is a good guy but not a good teacher

Very dull and confusing professor. He doesn't seem to enjoy teaching and just wants to kill time in class. Not very helpful either.

Comment:

My basic problem with this class is that it's dated by about 4 years in a field measured by weeks. My basic problem with the professor is that he doesn't seem to care about that, and sometimes is just plain wrong with his information, read from the book.
