Comment:

Studied hours for a test, opened test, & my laptop battery notified me that I had 10% left after answering a couple of questions. I contacted the teacher to notify of my issue and wouldn't open the test back up. Had to drop class to maintain GPA. The layout of the online class is quite difficult to navigate and stay organized.

Professor Scott is the kind of professors that will help you earn a good grade on your work, he shows that he cares about his students success when you are having a bad grade he tells you about it ahead of times and makes the student aware of the opportunities to bring up their grades. He will make the student do the work to learn better the work.

No textbook reads, enjoyable books to read, the lecture videos allowed me to multitask to do my math homework and study for MGT 270 exams.

Comment:

Be prepared to spend hours on end in front of your computer teaching yourself the basics of Business Management. Way too much homework, way too many videos to watch, which are extremely long and boring. It often seems like the questions to the quizzes and tests are hard, because the content isn't explained well. & the tests are timed.

When he is asked a question he does not answer it directly but piddles around it. No clarity.

Comment:

Use of the textbook was minimal, however it was useful for reference when writing letters and resumes. This class wasn't very enjoyable BUT it was extremely informative. I definitely learned valuable skills. He is available if you need help. A mandatory lunch is required for lessons in dining etiquette. Also required is a mock interview.

The team building was helpful, but I could have done with out the camp Winnebago. Attendance was only required a few times or if you did poorly on the quizzes. All quizzes and test are timed and online. CHECK your syllabus to ensure you don't miss a test. At least 3 people in our class did.

WARNING! DO NOT TAKE!! If you take the internet class, be prepared for timed tests, climbing 40 feet in the air for team building project and a end project that is costly and time consuming. He also does not like to help outside of class time unless you make an appointment which he will be late for.

Comment:

I can't stress enough that this is way too much for an online class, would not recommend taking. Expect to have to do a huge community project that will cost you extra time and money! Textbook was not used, not even cracked open one time during the semester which is a waste of money.

Comment:

He is a great professor. His online class is no different than any other. Online classes are tougher than in person. Mr Gardner is very good, his out side the class room activities are fantastic, and help to build strong team relationships. If you get bad grade in one of his classes, it is your own fault.

I hatd him for both MGT and ENG105 online. I have no idea what others are talking about. He is a great teacher to me. Great assignments for being online and made it interactive with other students still. I liked his classes a whole lot and would highly recommend him! He also helped me in the direction I waned to go in college.

Comment:

I had him for eng 105 online in the summer....I thought it was going to be too much for me. I spent every day working on it for maybe two hours and in three weeks got an A. I thought he was VERY helpful! I totally recommend it. If you do the work and let him know you are working and trying he will help! I highly recommend and I never do that!

Nice seems to really enjoy final group projects. If you want to be Engaged in a group environment with little emphasis on homework you can do the quiz's on line and not have to show up in class. great experience.

Comment:

Warning: Do not take the online class. It is like slow torture. Online class is not set up to help a student succeed. Be ready to watch miserable, slow, horribly bad online video with lots of lame powerpoints. Quizzes are far more difficult than they should be. Gardner was not at all helpful when I asked for assistance. Look elsewhere - beware!
