Comment:

He posts all the homework and tests during the first week of class and you can complete it at whatever pace you want. I finished it all in the second month of the semester. I wouldn't recommend the online class if computers are your major because there isn't any interaction with him. If you need help you'll have to get a tutor.

A good teacher for this online class. He has a clear grading criteria with a suggestion as to when assignments should be done to stay on top of the work. He gives you all semester to complete homework. Only exams are a midterm and a final which have due dates. Beware, it takes him forever to get back to emails, sometimes weeks. Get a tutor for help

Comment:

From what I have heard from other students, and I agree, this is the best professor to take End-User Computing with. He assigns all the assignments at the beginning of the year along with a suggested schedule for completing them, teaches you how to use MyITLab, and then lets you work at your own pace.

Comment:

Chow was a very good professor. Course was super easy and when you needed help he would always be there. He got frustrated a lot mainly because students were so stupid and lacked common sense. He would get asked such stupid questions I feel for the guy. Easy A and you get one unexcused absence everyone after is 2% off your grade.

Barry is a great teacher to take this class with...it's basically just self-directed, and I did pretty much everything at home. If you need CIS 106, take it with Barry Chow!

Comment:

Horrible Prof. Reads off a PowerPoint while everyone just surfs the internet. The tests have nothing to do with the homework. I would strongly recommended AVOIDING this horrible prof. He is sarcastic and says " You should know that" if you ask him a question.

This guy is crazy!!! There is no way he should be teaching. He has called people in our class stupid and dumb on several occasions. He's the dumb one. I don't even think he knows what he teaches.
