Comment:

Took a 4-week summer class with him - best decision ever. He responds to emails so quickly & ensures you are *FULLY* prepared for the exams! Graded on 3 IC3 exams that you can walk in on 3 days out of the week, each week, at any CSN campus; if you want an A instead of A-, pass the online practice tests! Great professor, I learned a lot! TAKE HIM!

Great teacher! But the online class did not quite prepare me to PASS the actual test. I studied the online class very diligently for the first IC3 exam and failed the first exam. There were many questions and topics on each of the IC3 tests that were NOT included in the online course, and I had to use youtube videos to help me prepare instead.

Comment:

The class was a bit challenging, but only because of the material. We used an online "textbook" as learning materials, I had LOTS of issues with that, but the professor was great. He emailed his classes regularly with updates, suggestions, advice and was always making himself available, essentially 24/7 for his students!

Comment:

I took this class on campus offered in Spring because I needed hands application but It was presented as if it was an online class; minimum hands on activity. There was also unnecessary lecture repetition from book which was grueling because of difficulty understanding his strong Indian accent. Class was not well structured. Very Frustrating!

Comment:

Okay first off I just have to say it was a bit confusing to understand what he is asking for. You have to take 3 exams to pass this class, if you get an F on one of the exams you fail. Period. You can take it again but you do have to pay for it again. He did answer any questions that you asked, I wish he'd made it a little more understanding.

Comment:

He gives a point break down per exam. A total of 3 exams. One for 50 points, another at 200 and the last one 450 points. Unless you pass all 3, you get an F. Not a grade based on the points of the passed exams, an F. Your only option is to pay to take which ever exam you did not pass again.

He's a great teacher! He helped me a lot in my online class and answered all the questions and concerns I had as soon as possible. I was having some issues taking IC3 exam and he helped me a lot in finding the solution and then I was able to take that exam. He's extremely helpful and understanding.

Comment:

I started out in a 4 week online class but found the work too difficult to do in a short time. I moved to the lecture class and it was great. The MyITLab was a nice tool, although not everything taught was useful. The professor went over things in class and that really helped. I have recommended him to others.

Took this course online. Wonderful teacher! Polite, Encouraging, Attentive. The course is simple and laid out to make sense. The homework teaches you alot about microsoft programs, and it ends up being pretty useful information. I recommend this teacher.

Comment:

I only went to class during the exams and I passed, Just read the book because everything he teaches you comes from the book. He also has an accent and its hard to understand him. He does repeat himself like 5 times on every subject. other than that its a really easy class if you just study the book.

I took him for a 4 week summer class. It was every useful and fun class. He teaches good and helps out. Got a good grade by just studing at the school computer for an hour or two a week. Easy class and easy grade.
