Comment:

Worst professor I have had at NMU. Prof Rayhorn has been teaching for over 30 years, is tenured, and believes he's entitled to not have to teach his students anything. Never took a note the entire course. The book and homework was online and he expected us to learn it ourselves. Group case work was copied from internet and students got A's still.

Comment:

As previous people have said, he's much more of a proctor for the online material. Students who pay attention in class often end up more confused than those who self-taught. Would not recommend taking this class with him.

Not much of a teacher, more of a proctor for the online homework. Always slow on returning grades, and just talks and talks without anybody paying attention. I would avoid taking him.

Comment:

The most he ever talked in this class was the first day, after that you were basically on your own. The class was easy but all he did was sit there. You don't even have to show up except to show him your assignments, which don't have due dates. No tests and maybe like one or two quizzes.

Comment:

He is just about completely useless. You use the Excel and Access books to teach you what to do. Once you finish an assignment you bring him your laptop and he will see if you did it right. I've asked for help twice, and one time he needed the book. Its an easy A, just boring and useless.

He's my advisor and had him for my first class. It was self paced and was an easy section of CIS 110 compared to some sections that I heard from others. It was an overflow so I dont think he will be teaching it again...

Comment:

So arrogant that he made everyone buy a brand new textbook because he wanted to use the bookmaker's website to dictate assignments and quizzes, instead of using WebCT. This prevented anyone from buying a used book--had to buy two books just to get the silly resources I needed. At least I was able to sell it back on Amazon and get some money back.

Professor apathy at its finest! Assigns problems out of a book he doesn't even teach in class with.

He doesn't grade things right away. Even when they are on webct!. Grades didn't come out till close to the drop time. He doesn't go over the quizes. Very big waste of time and money.

Comment:

The only good thing to say is he lets you use your notes. Other than that he is a horrible prof. He doesn't explain what he is doing on the board. Doesn't explain anything. This is another class where either you teach yourself or you will fail. Take another prof if at all possible.

Comment:

He has some good ideas. He lets you use your notes on the tests etc. He even let me re-take two quizzes when i was gone for a job interview. I really think he means well, but he just can not explain anything. He doesnt actually walk you through any problems, just parts of them. Goes way too fast for an intro class. Teach yourself or fail. Boring

didn't learn a thing. he hires different people to come in and talk for an hour per week.... this will be the majority of any lectures you will hear. and the "project" you have to do? it's nothing.... literally.

Boring, confusing, and only uses excel or the book's provided powerpoint and reads word for word. If you look around the class no one is paying attention.
