Comment:

Teaching method doesn't stick; prior knowledge of programming helped a lot. Programs using notepad, students copy from projector. Frustrating to watch my peers struggle with basic concepts. Taught myself out of the book and with outside friends' help. Easy to pass regardless. OK mentor. IT majors, take it for the credit; you don't have much choice.

PowerPoint was one of the funner online classes I have taken. Unlike my other online instructors, Mr. A was helpful and responded Mon-Fri within 24 hours. I don't understand the whiner - it was an easy A.

Comment:

The class is extremely boring. He shows less enthusiasm in the class then the students themselves do. Online, he logs on even less than the students and when people need help, it can take up to 4 days to receive an answer back. His lack of help is infuriating.

Network Fundamentals class. Instructor solicites class to answer questions posed my individual students. Easy course if you show up. Easy weekly tests and final project.

Very easy and slow class. Hard to stay awake with how slow the material comes. Easy grade unless you start not showing up (100% on tests will only get you a 'B' due to attendance).

Comment:

Had to take this class as a prerequisite for programming. For newcomers, it's good... for for techno-savvy people like myself, it is too easy and a bit boring to sit in class after completing assignments ahead of time. You can't really leave early unless you let the prof. know that you'd be leaving early, otherwise you'd get in trouble.

Comment:

Very confusing at times. Sometimes students actually need questions answered without another question as the answer. Skips around, making it difficult to put the pieces in place at times. Almost disfunctionally intelligent. Keep up or eat dust.

One of the neatest teachers I have ever had! Knows what he teaches and makes students think thier way through problems rather then just give answers! He loves teaching other and it shows!
