Comment:

If you like clear grading criteria STAY AWAY; there is no rubric and grading outlined in the syllabus is not followed. You can go to his website and get the exact same "class" as you get from his online classes because that is exactly what he uses.

Great prof!! He wants his students to do well in class and is willing to help you in any way he can (very accommodating). The material is hard so go to class and ask questions, he has no problem backtracking if needed. This is a great class is you have never programed before, though be ready for a time commitment. The textbook you use is free. :)

I really liked this class a lot, and the instructor was great. I thought it was a good class. He was very friendly, helpful, responsive, and nice to talk to. The grading was fair, and he rounded the scores on the final exam. He also had extra credit available, which was nice.

Dr. Featherman is by far my favorite teacher out of all the teachers I have had, in life! He is always availabe to help you, he provides great content that will really help you learn the material and he is patient! This class was hard for me but all of the lectures and coding examples helped me get through it! I wish he was my dad. GO cougs!

GO TO CLASS!!! Lectures are recorded, but the material is so much easier to learn when you're doing it alongside him. Featherman is such a genuine guy, and you can tell that he really cares about his students. Sometimes he would just take time to check up on everyone and give us a little inspiration to keep going. So glad I took this class!

Featherman seems to really care about his students and there success. But the class he created seems way to advanced for an MIS elective. MIS 420 is likely the hardest class I have ever taken. There is tremendous amounts of work you must do outside of class just to keep up.

The key to success in his class is to ask for help when you need it! He wants you to do well and will spend a lot of time explaining concepts to you if you ask. He can be pretty chatty. For exams, the more you write, the better you do. Be patient. There is a learning curve with this class can take a second to get around.

Honestly one of my favorite teachers EVER. He cares for his students and tries to understand everyone of them. If you show him that you have the passion and drive to succeed he will push you in the right direction. He respects his students and always has a positive attitude. Love his laugh and his random life advice! Go Featherman!

441 has been totally redone to be an analytics class - it's awesome. Featherman put in some really great content which makes this class super valuable especially to non IS people, that being said the content is very accessible to even non technical folks.

I've taken every class Featherman has to offer but would take more if he had any left. He is very knowledgeable and very caring. If you show that you have the interest and drive to succeed, he will provide you with everything you need. The only downsides with him is that his classes are a bit rough and he says some weird stuff sometimes.

The class itself is a bit rough to those with 0 coding experience, but professor Featherman has so much knowledge and is both willing and extremely good at spreading it to his students. The lectures are not necessarily mandatory but if you miss one lecture you're going to feel like you've skipped a month's worth of content.

Content of this class is hard but Featherman wants everyone to be successful. He does a great job teaching in class. If you show up everyday and actively participate in the material being taught, you will do well and he will respect you. Pretty hard and definitely the most time consuming assignments of all my classes. You will learn a lot!!

Currently taking Featherman's Intro to Mgmt Systems class for UCI. Super easy class to maintain, despite the length only being 6 weeks. Easy quizzes that correlate with homework assignments, but test questions are more difficult. The only thing I don't like is that weekly homework is a group thing since it's an online class.

Featherman is an amazing prof. GET TO KNOW HIM because he is renowned in the MIS industry and has numerous connections. He is always inviting recruiters and really goes out of his way to help secure a future for his students. Super nice, super chill, and really knows his stuff. Wish I could take every class with him....... or be his son

One of the best professors ive had at this college, the way he codes is alot more BI than from a CS standpoint. the Homeworks were pretty hard but gave ample time to complete. Overall one of the most genuine proffesors that actually care about his students during college and helps them once they graduate
