The worst teacher I have ever had at Whitman. Doesn't know how to teach, does the homework in class by himself and expects students to already know what he is teaching.

Comment:
Really bad professor. Is really frustrating and strict when it comes to attendance and "leaving early". His comments and his teaching style is annoying, ineffective, and boring. If you can get any other professor, get that professor.

Comment:
This was my first semester at SU (Transfer) and I loved every class but his. Terrible educator with worse communication skills. The textbook is not used at all, assignments have immense grammatical errors which distort instructions, and the way partial credit is given is insulting. The entire class lost any respect for him within the first month.

I took him last semester and love him. He's kind, knowledgeable and loves his students. He'll do whatever he can to help you and he makes a complex subject easy AND interesting. Best professor I have had yet, I hope to take a graduate course with him one day.

Excellent professor. He really shows how management information systems relate to business and makes the class as interesting as possible. The other people must have had him before this was a big part of the business world. Best professor in Whitman, easily.

Comment:
This class is a joke. He's a very nice professor but you truly don't learn anything. If you?re willing to sit in a class room to learn and do absolutely nothing to get an A take this class. If you want to learn it?s a waste of time. If you copy the slides he shows in class on your "cheat sheet" you're guaranteed an A on the "quizzes"

Comment:
VERY nice. Always tries to hard. But somewhat boring that's why students lose interest. Also, the class itself is full of boring subjects..that might be why i feel like this class is boring. but personally great guy hands down. so nice. always willing to help. some people said stuff about he favors indian students? i dont think so AT ALL.

Here's an example of a guy that means well and thinks he knows how to properly teach a class, but really just doesn't. Inept teaching ability, doesn't clearly answer questions, not very helpful to talk to, just overall a poor teacher that has dulled my interest of the subject.

Comment:
Class is so easy and he is nice but hes probably the slowest grader ever, especially towards the end of the semester. He definitely plays favorites and grades the final project way too harshly, not that you'll know until after the semester is over when there's little you can do.

class is easy if you go to class, if you don't you will fall behind and have to go see the TA which is a waste of time. Good guy, quizzes are fair ( def have to look over notes)

Comment:
The class is very easy. You shouldn't be attending SU if you can't pass this course. Padmal is a great guy, but his grading is a bit unfair. I have a feeling that favoritism influences his grades a little, so make sure you don't end up with any students he doesn't like in your group for the group project. Quizzes are super easy.

THIS MAN IS AWESOME, and he's the cutest thing you'll ever see. Super easy class, about 5 assignments, a group project and some quizzes. If you come to class you're fine. minimal outside work needed here

Worthless class that is required, Teacher is a good guy but has no respect and no control of the class, tough learning environment, most of the class is spent telling kids to stop talking!
