Comment:

This teacher simply had no idea what he was talking about. Just finished another class similar to this that was mainly focused on Excel and I learned 1000x more in that course which was only 2 credits... The only thing we were tested on was vocabulary words and no meaningful substance.

Comment:

Horrible. Easy A, but you will not learn anything. I was looking forward to learning about excel, we didn't use it once, in an MIS class! He's rude and slightly racist, he yelled at a girl for not being able to understand her accent. Take another professor, this is a subject you actually should learn about if you're any type of business major.

Comment:

Kanter's class was super unorganized. I was never sure if we had any homework or when the tests would be because he didn't post any information on D2L. This is a guy teaching a technology class and he cannot even upload the basic documents onto D2L and organize them. There was supposed to be a midterm and final study guide, but he didn't upload it,

Spare yourself the trouble and take a different professor. The class time is rarely spent on the material. Hell tell random irrelevant stories for an hour and let you out early. I have never seen such a huge waste of time as this course.

I can't believe this guy is still allowed to teach. His knowledge is really outdated. That's what you get with tenure.

Really poor class. You don't need to pay any attention at all. The midterm and final were based on quizzes available available on D2L. The whole class is just about memorizing definitions. Also there is some excel projects to do. The teacher dosen't really teach you excel. He just quickly runs through it and expects you to know it.

Unfortunately he had to leave before the quarter ended and was replaced with sub teacher. This new teacher definitely works in MIS. In stark contrast, He knows little about the subject. He is a finance and accounting guy. Was learning nothing from him.

Comment:

Nice person and seems like he used to be an amazing professor, but he needs to retire. Sometimes he talks very quietly. His stories are interesting, but nothing relates to the lecture. The stuff you are assigned is due by the end of the quarter, but he never explained how to do any of it. He's very funny too.

Such a boring class with this guy. You don't need to go to class. Just read the powerpoint definitions and show up for the test.

Comment:

It is completely clear that Howard has never worked in MIS. There is so much material to go over, but since he has little experience with the subject, all he does is reads the definition of the slides and fills up the rest of the time talking about personal stories not related to the class.

Comment:

The only two things I have learned in this class is that he is 100% on tenure and how to waste three hours of my life a week. He should not be teaching. I honestly can't tell you one thing I've actually learned about MIS in this class. Spare yourself and take someone else. Also, not an easy A.. the midterm was long & tough.

Comment:

Okay this teacher is really easy, but he is not worth taking. I was bored out of my mind coming to this class and would often show up late so I wouldn't have to hear the prof ramble off on topics that are not related to the class. This guy is tenure. He dosen't need to even try.

Comment:

This is one of the worst professors DePaul. It is honestly difficult to pay attention in this class because all this guy does is read bullet points off the powerpoint and then talks about unrelated stories/examples that won't be on the test. He then gets mad that nobody answers any questions he asks to the class. I wish I listened to the reviews.
