Comment:

Loved this class. Skovira has a dry sense of humor, but I really enjoyed attending. He tells a lot of stories and the class was all papers, no tests. He grades generously. Never got below a 100%. Would take him for another class in a heartbeat.

Comment:

He is an acquired taste; not everyone will like him or his classes. But if you go in with an open mind, enjoy his bone-dry wit and pay attention to his rambling way of delivery, you just might learn something. He is not a get in your business prof but if you are attentive, participate in class and can overlook his coughing, you'll do well.

Skovira AKA 'old man marley' from home alone 1, (google it) This man is just too intelligent that it hurts listening to him. It took all semester to figure out how to do the AR reports correctly. Do the reports and pass easy, suck it up. He isn't that hard, you might enjoy going eventually. (probably not LOL) p.s.don't visit him before class office

Comment:

Decision Support Systems - could have been very useful - it was a big waste of time. This guy may be smart (like the wacky professor), but he gets so far off track by the semester end you wonder what of substance you really learned. But easy A.

Everyone who think's he's an aloof jerk is stupid. To a stupid person, genius is always a little scary. Honestly one of the smartest men to walk this planet.

Comment:

socially and professionally, skovira is probably the most oblivious professor ive ever had. you can probably learn more useful information on late night informercial than you could from his meandering lectures. I got an A without learning a damn thing. if you happen to be passing this creep in the halls make sure to avoid eye contact.

Class was sometimes not interesting, but overall you will pick up some useful info. Some of his stories are great. Do the assignments for every week and everything will turn out good.

Comment:

He was pitiful! He gave me an A- for a 99.4%. He was nasty and rude and explained this because we were an undergrad class and he didn't like teaching us. Knew next to nothing about java. we had to teach ourselves. he rambled on about nothing and spent more time coughing than anything. STAY AWA

This guy is a jerk. Knows substantially less than he thinks he knows. Don't buy his book - it's a complete waste of money - any blind selection at half.com will leave you better off.

VERY nice guy. Brilliant mind. Will bore you to tears. Sko: the 1 1/2 hour lecture on Winnie the Pooh made me want to take the bridge. Do the assignments, put a little effort in them, and you'll be OK.
