Comment:

He's a fair grader. No book. Online quizzes (google), couple of papers& 1 presentation on current event, 1 debate. Has lot of knowledge, but lectures are boring. The subject itself is boring to me so I won't blame him. All prof. use same curriculum for this class so take online to avoid sitting through lectures. If online classes are full, take him

Easy material, well intentioned, but his real-world examples and views are outdated. The course needs to update its focuses.

Professor Egan is one of the best professors at NJIT. Took him for IS455, its honestly an easy A. He doesn't give any tests or quizzes. There are Chapter implications and forum postings due every week but they are very easy. He is an easy grader. Just show up in class and do the homework and you will pass with an A.

He is a very good professor. He teaches very well and gives all the real world examples and teaches very well. The grading pattern is clear and you can get an A if you do all the assignments and everything on time.

Comment:

It is unfair to say it's easy - it has "Implication" homework (pre-reading) each week throughout the semester, three "Discussion" report that requires both reading and outputs, and two personal reports as well as two group reports and presentation - how can that be EASY? However the professor is attractive and very supportive, which makes it easier

Comment:

Class attendance is NOT required since everything is online. Even after attending class, if something is unclear, do not bother emailing the professor because he will only tell you to look at the syllabus and details online. Professor's email response and comments are very unprofessional at times. Do the work and it's an easy A!!

It's an easy grade just like all his other classes, but you won't learn anything at all.

Took IS 350 with him. Overall it's an easy class. everything is on moodle so if you can take an online section do that. class attendance is really unnecessary.

When he responds to e-mail he's so sarcastic. You feel weird e-mailing him because he's so cynical about everything. Pretty good class.

This was a really basic intro course and hence it was easy. I think egan is a really smart guy, but might not be the greatest at making you think.

Just an easy professor. He taught Information Systems Strategy this semester and he was bad. He's slack and he cut the class from two days a week to just one day. He takes forever to reply you back. Just gives you grades. Don't take it with him, if you really want to learn.

Sounds like a maniac sometimes. The class itself was easy but fun to go to. Idiots who like to BS should not take this class.
