Very laid-back, enthusiastic, and helpful. Outside of the very first class, attendance wasn't taken. All you have to do is complete an Excel spreadsheet once a week.

I've had both ITC 190 and 265 with Cregger. At his "worst" he reads straight from the slides and can be kind of dry. Other times he was cracking a lot of jokes and was much more engaged with the material. His grading scale was weighted equally between exams and homework so no single big failure ruins you. Altogether I think he's a good professor.

Cregger is a hilarious dude and is very helpful when help is needed! Class wasn't too hard, just have to attend. I would take all his classes as he is an enjoyable professor!

Cregger is a hit or miss. He's a decent individual, but you will spend hours upon hours doing meaningless labs. Few labs are actually worth doing. I honestly didnt learn from him in this class. I taught myself more than he taught me anything for the whole semester. Also he doesn't read your emails if you don't follow his "email etiquette".

Great Guy but all of the labs in the class are just busy work and take up so much of your time seeing as there is no way to get it done in the lab period.

Norm is a great guy, however the labs he assigned were nothing more than busy work that you are expected to complete weekly. It's an easy class if you can sit down for 6 hours a week to complete those huge labs.

Hes pretty laid back and you will get an A if you just do the work as it isn't too hard, just lots of busywork. You can probably skip most lecture days, as he just reads off the powerpoint which he posts online. He assigns labs due once a week, which is kind of annoying, but they only take a half an hour to do. Overall goof prof and ez class.

This was an incredible waste of time and money. Norm is a business professor trying to teach IT and CPS courses and failing. Most of the work is busy work and completely useless. You would be better off reading a book because that is all you'll do anyway. He lacks and ability to teach and instead assigns papers on modern tech to avoid doing work.

This class was super easy, it was just basically using Gimp to alter photos and creating animations in Hype. He was to help but isn't always able to figure things out when you have a question. Lectures seem pretty common sense, but that may because I'm into this stuff.

Was a very nice guy and fun to talk to and joke around with. Had quizzes about once a week over the chapters from the textbook, so reading is essential. Will give practice tests before the big tests so if you take them you can memorize the answers and easily pass. Labs are extremely long and you will have to do most of it one your own time.

Well, I got over 100% in this class. He gives a ton of extra credit and barely grades the exams. As in if you show up for the exam you will get 100%. However, I was in his class the first year he taught this session so he could change things. Show up for the quizzes (There was a lot!) and you will pass.

Mr. Cregger is a good guy, but not the best for an I.T class. Has weekly quizzes that unless you can memorize small details from the chapter or past I.T experience your not going to do well. The exams seem to come from the book manufacturer and notes for the exams are useless. Be aware of the labs only get about an hour of lab time for 4 hour labs.

I really liked Norm; he seems like a funny, knowledgable teacher. The content of the course however, was really difficult and he wasn't much help. There was so much to complete in a 5 week frame with limited help available (There was one lecture and the rest of the 5 weeks were on your own).

Comment:

I had a three hour into business class with him and it was a pain to sit through. He likes to tell a lot of uninteresting and off-topic stories. He does offer a lot of extra credit clicker questions, but they seem to be just because our class struggles. Very unorganized, and it's unlikely to hear back from him within the week if you send an email.

Cregger is a goofy guy and really tries to make his students laugh. Literally everyone stares at their phone through his lectures and if you are literate you should get an A. Super easy blow off class period. 10/10

Professor Cregger is a great overall professor. He replaced all of the essays we would've had to write with clicker questions. He did projects through the semester to cement understanding, and helped with whatever I needed help with. Great professor, and a great guy too.

VERY EASY CLASS. So many points makes it impossible to fail, extra credit final, and so many easy points. DO THE PRACTICE QUIZZES FOR THE TESTS multiple times. . These quizes are the exact questions for the test in your lab. EASY A
