More of a by the book prof. He's very helpful and explains what students don't understand. If you want the grade you should attend class otherwise you may miss assignments as most are done in class. Overall a very awesome prof I would highly recommend him.

Wonderful teacher. Real world environment with expectations of attendance and respect for him and the other students. Don't be late, or you may have to wait outside until he is done with his discussion. Respect him and he will respect you. Nice and helpful man :)

Steve is a great teacher! He treats his class as if they were his employees. It is a real world experience and a great experience for younger traditional students. Easy A if you attend and do your assignments. Test banks are word for word and you get a week of practice time. Don't show up late, and be respectful and you will do great!

Super easy A if you show up to every class. Exam review sheets are exactly the same material as on Exams & you can work in groups to obtain answers to these review sheets. Steve's a nice guy and helpful to every computer level of understanding =)

This class is so easy and specker is such a great, caring teacher. All you do is go to class, do an assignment out of the book, and then leave when your done. the blank test is given out the week before the exam you just have to look up answers.

Comment:

I don't like his 120 quetion study tests. If you get any questions wrong on the study test you may not know if there wrong because he never goes over them. And on 120 questions you may have five or seven wrong and not know it. Then you may get a low score on a test. For someone new to computers he's not a good teacher.

One of the best professors here at NMU. Really knows his stuff. He's very laid back and allows you to put as much effort as you want into class. A really cool guy, and it helps this class was extremely easy to ace. Get him as your prof!

He is a nice guy but these networking classes need to be taught by someone that dosn't have a MBA and has some sort of technical degree!!!!!!!!! Adding users in active directory and novell is not going to get us jobs when we get out of school!!!!!!!

This guy is a poor teacher and a waste of time. He reads the book to you in class and when you are finished, you are more stupid for having taken him. Give me a refund and some thorazine please

He is an NMU grad and knows very little about networking. They should get a real professor instead of someone whose only qualification is an MBA from a now defunct program at NMU. His class is a waste of time

This guy will make sure that your tuition is completely wasted. He single-handedly renders the CIS/Networking program a complete joke. If you actually want actual knowledge taht will help you with your actual career, go to another school.
