Comment:

Took him for an online course so I never saw him. All he did was email the class and tell us when to turn things in. You have a pretty good amount of time do turn in assignments, so the class is somewhat easy, but not as easy as some may think.

Comment:

The professor doesnt teach. All his job is to send you emails to remind you about when the last day to take tests are. He doesnt give extra credit and this class is very easy to get a B instead of an A. Dont be fooled and think this class is super easy. If you do the practice tests then you will be fine for the real test.

You're pretty much on your own. Make sure you complete your tests on time and everything else is easy. And for you noobs, there is no need to start the modules. Just go straight to the practice exams when you buy the software and that's it

Comment:

This class def seems a lot easier than it is. You don't ever have to attend a class but you MUST keep up with the material or you're screwed. I liked this prof though bc yes his emails do get a little annoying, but it makes you keep up with the pace. I spent much more time in this class than any regular class...beware, don't procrastinate!!!

Comment:

This class was very time consuming but very easy. You have to do the modules and the practice tests because the tests are very specific in the way they want you to perform a task. Do not fall behind and do not expect any leniency from the professor.

5 tests all computer based, no final, you can take each test twice which makes is impossible to fail. Test questions come straight from the practice lessons, overall not a bad class and a good professor

Comment:

Very easy class if you do the modules and do practice test (it's exactly like the real one). Never really see the prof (only on 1st day of class). You can take the tests pretty much whenever you want or is convienent within the 2 weeks or so that's given.

Comment:

You'll barely ever come into contact with the professor, the class is all internet based. Only time you'll see him is on the first day of class, and when you go to take tests. The class is extremely easy, you get two tries to take the tests. 2nd try has the exact same questions, so its impossible to not make an A

Comment:

This is a very easy class. It IS a waste of time. He sends out emails like his class is the only class there is in the world and if you dont take the test, the whole world is going to end. He sends out very URGENT messages in the email about once or twice a week. You cant email him. Cant talk his TAs do all the work for him. HORRIBLE PROFESSOR.

Comment:

This class is a walk in the park. Just do the pratice test and the actual test is exactly the same thing. He didn't teach, the internet modules did, but it's ok cuz you can pretty much take the test at anytime during the alloted 2 week period, that really helps out if you work all day and can only go to school at night. Easy A!!!

Comment:

This is an internet class, so you have to study on your own time. I made a B... tests are not difficult, especially if you study the modules online. important note..you have two chances to pass each test with AT LEAST a 70, or you fail the course automatically. tests cover windows, microsoft word, excel, access, and powerpoint. no final.

Comment:

This required class was a waste of time, but it was also an easy A if you memorize pre-tests. You’ll meet the instructor at the 1st class then you work with the TA’s. They will gladly help you if you have problems with a pre-test question(s) during tutoring sessions. One positive is if you put in some effort this class will raise your GPA.

Comment:

What a waste of time and money. Does sending out a few emails and letting the TA's do all the work constitute "teaching"? Don't expect to get an "A" unless you know the minute details of every program. Go to testing services and TEST OUT of this nonsense.

Comment:

I took his Sat course. You just need to go to the first orientation and tests are on Saturdays. DO the tests on PHIT and it is the same as the actual online tests. If you can't make class on a Sat, you have about 2 weeks to take it during tutor sessions. Easy A, you don't have to deal with the prof.

Comment:

His lectures are dry, but he didn't make us come to class either. Show up for the reviews and study the slides and you should have an easy A.
