Comment:

Professor Hansen is a kind man. He can ramble like none other, so I found his lectures to get a little frustrating. That being said, he's the most accessible teacher I've ever had in an online course and more than willing to always help his students no matter what the issue.

This is the most unorganized class I have ever taken. He expects you to have a lot memorized for the exams that are closed note, and closed book but only 20 or so questions. So you have way too much stuff that you could be tested on but don't because there are only 20 questions. projects are self-paced and you get a few chances to get 100%.

The good: The class homework was all online, the tests are heavily based on the practice quiz test bank, there is extra credit and the prof drops your lowest test score. The bad: The class was a little unorganized, the professor fell behind, so we had to play catch up, the difficulty curve is ridiculous. You need to be OK with independent learning

This was one of the most unorganized, unclear, and ill-constructed classes I've ever taken at PSU. I do not normally write bad reviews, but I feel obligated to tell everyone not to take this professor's class.

perfect for busy students. Very organized & all assignments online (except exams) Same schedule every week. Short text readings. Hes very kind, knowledgeable & passionate about the subjects and for students like me who work full time you dont have to go to class but it definitely is worth showing up when U can! Especially the day before the exams

This person and this class have got to go. Absolutely the most pointless class I have ever taken, and he is terrible. Makes gross comments about women, is completely out of touch, wastes entire class periods. I've never been so infuriated by a class.

Comment:

This class is effectively useless. He didnt even have any material for the class, it was just reading the book. What little material was provided all came from another teacher, so some of the exam questions referenced another teachers projects. Textbook was outdated for a class called competing technologies. He was not good at answering questions

Agree with rater below. Totally rude when asking for help, won't admit that HE is in the wrong ever. Tough grader, lecture videos do not match the assignments so doing the assignments was extremely difficult. Worst professor ever.

He's truly the worst professor I've ever had. He is derogatory towards students and constantly talks about how community college students are "not as smart" as PSU students. Professor Hansen also called out several students who receive extra time on exams during class (which is actually against the ADA). His lectures were pointless and mundane.

Professor Hansen is a great instructor. Because of him, I learned a lot about computer. There are lot of things to do ( SAM project, weekly quiz, exam), but he is willingly to help you.

Avoid this professor at all cost. Hansen is very out of touch with the real world but still tries to provide life lessons. As an older student, I found him very disrespectful. The only class that has made me feel like I was in high school and being lectured at not taught.

He's okay as a person, talks excessively. But his class and assignments are ridiculous. There's so much criteria you need to know for the exam and he isn't very helpful. There are no study guides. He assigns an excessive about of work outside of class that is time consuming and very dry. I would not recommend taking his class.

Avoid this professor at all cost. He clearly doesn't care about his students and does as little as possible. It is very evident that he is never actually happy to be doing what he is doing. Everything in class must be self taught because you won't get the material from his lectures.

BA325. Lectures were a bit of a drag mostly due to content. This teacher was very helpful in terms of reviewing/answering questions as well as providing information about the quizzes and tests.

Hansens class for BA 325 is harder than other professors but he is really willing to help students. He met with me several times outside of class and outside of his office hours to help with assignments. Its a tough class and I really struggled all around this term and but he helped me learn what I needed to pass. Ask for help early on.

Hansen is a great teacher and is willing to help with anything if you are struggling. Be ready to do a lot of work though. It is not very hard but time consuming. You need to remember the D2L quizzes for his tests. You also need to make sure you do the SAM projects. Based on Access and Excel, which if you have back ground you will pass the class.

I am absolutely astonished that this class is still required. This class is based on pointless memorization of exact phrases, SAM projects that feel like grade school, and long drawn out lectures. RUN, RUN from this class and this professor.
