Comment:

One of the best instructors to take for this class. He simplified the course material in summaries so students do not have to read the book. His lectures may have terminological that could be tricky to remember, but he makes every effort to make it understandable. He cares about the students and will extend due dates if the occasion calls for it.

Comment:

He's very nice, but difficult to understand. He knows this and will repeat or write things on the board if needed. There's not really any homework, just some online labs. 4 quizzes, 1 midterm, 1 final, and a group project. He really cares about his students. This class is difficult for me b/c I know nothing about computers, but I recommend him!

Professor Sridar is so caring for his students! For someone who was not interested in the class from day one it was a little hard to keep up and stay focused. He really wants students to understand material. It is still easy to pass this class!

Take his class if you want a chill class. PROS: Easy grader for exams. MC/free response questions. 1 page cheat sheet. All his notes are online so no textbooks needed. Grades based on 2 Exams, quizzes, group project, and Labs. Not exam heavy. He cares a lot about his students. CONS: Lectures are pointless and he is hard to understand.

My favorite professor from SJSU. You need more time on a project or assignment? he'll give you as much time as you need. Such an easy grader. As long as you put in effort, you will do good in the class. This is a true Student-Teacher. He prioritizes the students, and if you fail the class, you need to re-evaluate your life

Comment:

Sridar's lectures were pretty boring, I honestly didn't pay that much attention to them. He allows two pages for notes, handwritten or typed. The tests were straight forward from the textbook. You have a few labs to do for Salesforce but they are so easy and actually kind of fun/interesting. There was a pretty lengthy group paper, about 25 pages.

Make sure you have a good group for the project. Project sponsors are assigned randomly and some projects might be harder than others. Other than the project the professor gives quizzes here and there. Class is pretty straight forward and very chill.

Easy class, but I can't understand what he talked in class due to his thick accent. Give easy matching quiz and study guide.

Comment:

Read the textbook for comprehension, take notes from his power point. He gives in class examples of concepts and will test you on these. I taught myself, wrote down his examples for the 'matching' quizzes and did okay. I learned very little from the Professor himself. Big group assignment due at end was interesting but all self directed.

Comment:

4 quizzes, 1 group project, 1 exam, 1 final. The Quizzes are "match the following." Group project is a 20 pg paper. The exam and final are multiple choice, Tf, short answers and allows 1 pg of note. The lecture is boring and useless cause of his accent. You can pass but won't learn much, not recommended for MIS majors!

Best teacher at SJSU for 188! He made the material managable and related it to "real life". He understand that most students are not MIS majors but we need this class. He formats the class so we can be able to effectively communicate with IT people. He wants everyone to succeed! He is always there to help, offer advise or talk. A+ teacher

I really like this professor! He has a lot of real world experience that is helpful in his teaching. He has a variety of teaching styles to keep the class interesting. We do group projects and team meetings. He is very helpful and wants his students to succeed. He has a strong accent but he reinforces the material with exam reviews and summaries.

Comment:

this class is very very boring. I slept through most of the lectures. In fact, you can skip all the lectures and still do fine. I passed the class, but I did not think I learn anything. I do not recommend if you want to learn bus188.
