Comment:

Nice guy and knowledge but very boring and always late. HE LOVES LONG DETAILED ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS. The class is easy A tho Most unorganized class structure I have ever had. Due dates and grading very unclear. Lectures are useless but email him your questions and go to office hours to get a good grade. Allows you to replace any bad grades you get.

Comment:

One of the WORST professors at Bryant. He doesn't teach or assign anything till the last two months of the semester and then dumps this huge projects and papers on you with ambiguous guidelines. I am a hardworking student and try my best in all of my classes. Doesn't matter how hard you try, he just gives everyone a B because he's lazy and useless.

Great guy, about 80 years old and forgets how to get to the classroom from his office. If you're looking to learn a single thing about excel, probably not the guy to sign up for. Doesn't know his hands from his feet.

Professor Glass definitely is a pretty boring lecturer, but his class isn't hard. There are no tests and a few group projects. He is a great guy and is always willing to help his students. Just need to get through the lectures without falling asleep.

Comment:

This class is important to take while in school, however it still can be very boring at times. The books and materials are very expensive so borrow from a friend. Excel stuff isn't too bad. Before the exams he sends out a study guide that is exactly what the exam is. Just barely pay attention and turn in your assignments and you'll do fine.

Comment:

Professor Glass is one of my favorites at Bryant. If you take advantage of the fact that you can use laptops in class then of course you will not understand the material. If you are confused about an assignment or information for an exam, he is more than willing to help. He has a passion for the subject-- something that should be valued.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE HIM. I am a really good student and I am decent with technology and this class is hard. He constantly licks his lips, to the point where you notice he has a problem. He gives you a "no grade" if you don't answer the group assignment the way he wants it. He makes up his own rules and goes over Excel extremely fast- exams are long/hard

Comment:

This course is horrible... When you have Excel assignments, he makes you learn everything by yourself, and does conceptual material in class, and once you're done doing the 4 chapters of excel assignments, he starts talking about excel. how are you supposed to learn like that? Do NOT take this class if you have an option...

Comment:

His class is relatively boring, but the powerpoints are eventually on the final. Go to class and his office hours, it really makes a difference. Definately do all the assignments, just in case he decides to count them. He grades pretty easy, just don't take him to early in the morning.

Comment:

Soooooooooooooo boring. I'm surprised he doesn't bore himself. He gives assignments to be submitted and then decides later whether or not they will count or not. All the ones I did well on ended up not counting and being "only practice". Talks all day every day about how robots are going to take over the world. Awful class, awful teacher.

Comment:

Glass is a really nice guy, but he is a pretty ineffective instructor. Classes are way off topic - he is sometimes in his own world talking to himself. He grades pretty easy and will always help out if you need it. Don't buy the textbook - it is a complete waste of money. Nice human being though.

Comment:

One of the most boring professors ever. He teaches CIS but most of the time, it seems like he's never used a computer before. He speaks so slowly that you want to fall asleep mid-sentence. The materials easy, but you just want to shoot yourself in the face when you hear him talking. SO BORING! Doesn't take attendance.
