The best person at DePaul. He works as a career advisor and his knowledge is what makes the class worthwhile. Not to mention, he is hilarious! Such a kind person. Trust me take the course and thank me later.

Great guy! Just put full effort and you will do fine! Class is composed of writing assignments of different length but nothing beyond 4 to 5 pages. There are a few discussion boards as well.

Comment:

Professor Ed is incredibly caring and all of his lectures are incredibly useful. I would highly recommend! My only complaint is that he is not that well organized and his syllabus is constantly changing, however the changes always benefit the students with later due dates or omitted assignments.

Comment:

Took as a fifth class during the quarter, and it was easy, and beyond helpful. His assignments allow you to take a look at your own personal work values, and skills. During one assignment he literally shows you the skills that companies are looking for in new employment, so you only gain from it. Super chill guy, who is actually there to help you!

Comment:

My first online class was with Ed and he was beyond helpful! He clearly told us what we needed to do and when it was due by, and was ALWAYS there to help us with whatever we needed, related to the class or not. He clearly cares about his students' well beings and futures beyond the classroom. Would definitely take a class with him again!

This is a great 2 credit class that will boost your GPA. Ed is a fantastic person and professor. His class is essential for those who are unsure of where there career path is going. This class taught me so much about myself, my values, and helped me decide what I wanted to do after college. I networked with many people through his course as well!

Comment:

Ed was great. I took this 2 credit class because the university called me about it and I decided why not. Thanks to Ed for completely redoing my resume I landed an office job and I am sure there is more to come. You have to show up to pass, and it's extra work but a GPA booster. Highly recommend.

Comment:

BEST professor at DePaul, hands down. No other teacher cares more about your future and career options than this guy--he is ALWAYS offering to help and guide you. He LOVES what he does and it's very obvious. Class consists of a portfolio, papers, and discussion boards. Don't miss class, its 2% of your grade each time you miss!

Made class on a Saturday interesting, so that in itself is impressive. Otherwise a decent professor who actually cares about what he is teaching.

He's funny, though he needs an administrative assistant, not the most organized. Made class at 9am on a Saturday interesting, and I'm considering a new career after taking the class.

Comment:

I took the online internship course and for the most part it was easy. Keeping up with discussions is a pain, but the papers aren't complicated. The biggest complaint I have is about grading. This prof. doesn't use the grading board on blackboard and I constantly had to email him to figure out my progress.

Comment:

He is easy going. He enjoys what he does for a living and it shows. Do the blackboard assignments and all is good. Keeps class at a comfortable place (didn't like the circle seating, why?) Take him, u won't regret it. Teaches real-life materials. Only meet 4xs during the qtr.! He's a good guy. He's cute and funny, why is he single?

Comment:

Great teach - didnt get the grade i expected and i dont know why since i got near perfect on all my assignments but after the qaurter i was too tired to argue - just keep up with the blackboard stuff which is very tedious and do the papers and youll be fine - he got us food a few times and made the class very worthwhile - def recommended

The class was O.K. but he was kind of mean sometimes. He would ignore people and stuff. He did get us food a couple times and I got a good grade so overall he's straight.

Very nice and funny guy. Knows his stuff! Makes you feel comfortable in class and he's easy to talk too. I left his class feeling like a actually learned something that will help me out later on in life. Make sure you do your blackboard work.

Great professor! As long as you participate in the blackboard readings and do the work, you'll be fine. I enjoyed this class very much.

Comment:

He's cool and makes this class very interesting, but he is really into MBTI, so becareful because he judges your character before he even gets to know you. Otherwise take his class because he makes it very enjoyable and has some very wise advice to give.
