Comment:

After reading the horrendous reviews here I was hesitant about taking this course. However, once the course began my fears were quickly warded off. Yes he doesn't baby the entire class through each chapter, but that's because everyone is at a different pace. If you ask him for extra help, he is more than willing to assist you. But most ppl don't!

Comment:

Rude, sarcastic, boastful, unclear, and unprofessional. Tells the whole class who didn't do assignments in e-mail blasts. Turned a regular class into an online class halfway through semester without student's input or approval. You teach yourself in this class. Easy A if you do the work, but don't expect learning support from this instructor.

Very difficult to get a hold of. Inconsistent with directions. This is basically a self taught class.

Comment:

Rude, unprofessional, unhelpful, unclear about his instructions and assignments. Keeps emailing us on reminders about doing assignments (i bet he has this pre-typed for all his classes), quite irritating, reading his emails ruins your entire day. and rude yeah I've said that. Do not take his class unless you want a heartless robot teaching you.

Read the book. Do the homework and tests on time(not at the last min) and you will get an A. Do not be rude to him and he will respond to your email. His emails to the whole class about students being rude to him made me laugh! Easy A!

Mr. Zardoost NEVER reply emails if he doesn't want to!!!! At the end of this semester, he sent an email to me said that he didn't receive my final essay and excels. The truth was, i had sent those to them about 3 times. I was really angry and kept sending him emails. I sent him 20 EMAILS but didn't received any until 3days later!!!!! Thank god!

Comment:

Meh teacher. Extremely poor communication. Ask him a multi-part question and he simply answers with a yes. He goes on and on about caring about us when he doesn't even want to help us. Class is easy if you know what to do. Be sure to be clear with EVERYTHING you have to do during the first class meetup. This guy talks to you like a patronizing ---.

Comment:

This class is online only. You do not need to meet with instructor. What I don't like about this Professor is that he emails us like we are in high school. Talks to us like we are children. He sets deadlines and then moves them up at short notice and complains a lot. He is very disrespectful. Needs to act professional. I will never take him again.

He is an alright professor BUT... if you are looking for a professor to hold your hand, this is not the class for you. Research paper, test and final.

He is a good professor, but he doesnt answer emails from students. You have to know about computers before you enter this class.

Comment:

He's a nice guy. However if you are really dependent on your professors to help you then you really shouldn't take this professor. His test questions can be quite tricky and quite tough if you are not a good reader.

Comment:

He isn't that bad if you already know a lot about computers but his test was kind of hard because you have to read the book because he will test you on the fine print of the book. But overall if you work hard and have the time to learn about computers, he isnt too difficult to get at least a C or a B.

I emailed him five times and he still doesn't to any of my questions or about my grade or the reading. Worthless professor. If you can, take someone else.
