If you miss a class, you miss a quiz. Lectures can be long, but he really wants everyone to pass. He is approachable for help. He listens to feedback on test and quizzes and will adjust the future material accordingly.

Comment:

The prof has lots of experience with tech firms in the Valley and provides lots of good insight. Exams are heavily curved, so grades are adjusted and very fair. Good project learning to use Salesforce. Lots of videos in class to keep the material current. Two group projects learning how to use Google sites that don't require meetings outside class

2 exams (curved), 1 individual project,2 in class group projects, a quiz every class drops the lowest one, and final exam. Group projects were easy and you get so much class time don't have to meet up. Individual project easy too, tests are all terms. Quizzes are based on lecture, so listen and you'll do fine. Chill class and nice teacher!

Comment:

Nice professor but giving a quiz every class on the chapter that he just taught isn't the best way to teach students, almost every person in the class is not doing well on those quizzes. His exams are very difficult and he makes questions tricky on purpose. Almost half the class failed the first exam. No study guide, cheat sheets, or extra credit.

Comment:

He makes it seem like the class is very easy on the first day. In reality, the quizzes are at the end of class about the material that he just "taught." He is not helpful outside of class. Through email, he is very short and during office hours not useful and uncompassionate. The whole class is on memorizing terms. Take someone else if you can!

Comment:

The class is okay, but easy to fall asleep in. Lectures are pretty boring unless you understand his humor. He acts like the class is easy and makes it seem like the tests are simple, but they aren't. It doesn't matter how hard you study for the exams, you'll still be disappointed with your grade. Take someone else.

OMG! I was sitting on the first row and was laughing like a horse all semester long :) He has a lot of stories to share, and has a great sense of humor. The topic itself is hard and boring (to me) but he makes boring stuff sound interesting. As mentioned by others curves heavily, so most likely you will get a desired grade :)

Taking his course 1X/week atm. Textbook($10) isn't needed, but good info about MIS; used glossary & searched up terms. Clear lectures w/ pwrpts, weekly quiz in class after lecture, 3 Salesforce labs (1 includes paying $20), 2 group prjcts, 2 exams & 1 final (noncumulative)-50 MC-curves exams. Insightful & I'm learning a lot about MIS :)

Comment:

Each class session consists of a chapter quiz and some mini group work. Class grade consists of three exams and a non-cumulative final (all of which are 50 multiple choice questions). There is also a salesforce project, but that is easily doable. Class curve was ridiculous (78% was an A, 69% was a B). Has a lot of insightful knowledge to offer.

Quiz and group project every class and a Salesforce project (super easy). Don't need the $10 book. All you need is the glossary which you can see online for free. Memorize terms and you'll do fine on all the quizzes and tests. He also curves! I ended up with 72%, but that was considered a B. Boring lecture, nice teacher. Can pass easily!Take him!!

Comment:

The lectures are boring and not interesting. The ebook he uses isn't very good and does not prepare you for his exams resulting in making the exams difficult. It is not a hard class because he curves it but the curve varies and depends If your peers score high on the exams or not. 3 midterms, 1 quiz every week, 1 project, and 1 final.

Lectures are a bit slow but he does attempt to make it a fun environment. One project that could be done in a day or two. Quiz every class, but easy. Usually lectures on the topic of the quiz, then quiz is handed out. 3 midterms and one final. Easy A

Easy course as he curves super generously; anything above 70 was A-! This is an important class for business majors and I wish he would include more substance in his material. Overall, easy and good. 10 quizzes, 10 group class projects, 4 individual projects, 4 exams. I got an A- and hardly worked at it. I would take him, attend class.

Easy class. Heavily curved, a 78% A- Salesforce project isn't hard it's just time consuming. Weekly group projects and quizzes (easy). Reviews chapter in class before quizzes. 3 midterms, 1 final (cumulative). But easy because it was all vocab, no concepts. Pretty lenient in terms of lateness, he accepts late assignments. Overall nice guy.

Definitely need to read the book if you are looking for an A. I learned a lot in this class and I think everyone who lives in the Silicon Valley should take an MIS course. Great teacher. Exams are moderately difficult so need to read the book and attend lectures. Three midterms one cumulative final and quizzes every class. Take him :)

Comment:

He is a good teacher. He gives lots of real world examples that are informative and funny. He tells you everything you need to prepare for the exams, but there is a lot of information. If you ask for help, he will help you. Group projects make it easy to meet other students in the class if you are introverted. Weekly quizzes make exams easier.

He is the nicest, sweetest, and a quirky professor who makes passing an easy path. He hugely curves but you do have to attend every class to do the group projects and weekly quizzes. It sounds a lot but the projects and quizzes are easy. The textbook is rarely used because the exams are off the quizzes and power points. Highly recommended!

Nicest professor you will meet. Class is easy and laid back, group projects are extremely easy and chill, takes like 10 to 15 mins tops to finish the projects. 3 Mid terms and 1 Final exam (all multiple choice). Curves the tests well ;), drops the lowest quiz. Highly recommend taking his class.

Comment:

Everyone in this class fails the quizzes/tests but he curves the midterms. Powerpoints for each chapter are hard to understand and he can't explain them well. Not helpful at all when explaining group projects. Won't give out exam questions for reference for the final even though he knows everyone is just going to fail. I DO NOT RECOMMEND HIM AT ALL
