Comment:

One thing about Doug's lectures is he isn't really teaching you anything you can't find on a youtube video, and that's his style. The good part is that he's a good guy, and can help you with whatever the course requires. Just pay attention to what he's doing in MS Server classes: you'll learn the motions more than the thought because it's MS.

The guy has 0 Knowledge of what he is teaching , He just sits there in lectures going over his slides that he hasn't updated in over a decade then when you ask him for help when something is not working he of course can't help you because he has no idea what he is talking about. His Exams are a study check thats it just memorize his questions get A

Comment:

This mans classes put me to sleep, no slides during lectures just clicking around on the server. Labs are very clear and easy to get %100. He knows what he is talking about and will always help when asked. This class is an easy A but really lacks luster as far as keeping your interest goes, course name should be changed to Exchange Administration.

Doug manages to make the best of a dry subject (Netware and NT 4.0) however his lectures are very lacking. He tends to simply read directly from the presentations. Very helpful in labs and quite knowledgeable.

Watch out for the acronyms. Doesn't know anything about the course he's teaching. Tests on material not presented in class. Doesn't teach, just reads lecture slides. Avoid this professor at all costs!

Doug is the laid back kind of guy you could just sit back and have a beer with and chat. He's very helpful when you need him, and very fair/generous in his marking.

Has trouble attending class. Seems shy when you talk to him 1on1. Hasn't given out any marks until now (The end of the semester). Nicknamed the boolean marker by many in the class, since we have no idea what he's marking, he just says "Yes" o
