By far this is the worst class I have ever taken at RMU. Basically expected to teach yourself without any feedback. Assignments graded months apart so you had no idea of your progress. Exams not returned, emails not responded to. Points galore deducted with no explanation, and don't bother asking because he won't tell you! Hates students!

Passed this class with a B, only because I did my own research. The man openly tells you that you will fail his course and that he does not care about you. He does IT at a trolley museum, which you will hear about every class. Avoid him if you can. This is his last semester before he retires. Which is a great thing for RMU!

This teacher shouldn't be called a teacher. I submitted an assignment and he gave me a horrible grade. I asked why, and never heard back. Note, I took this class online, so email is the only way I am able to contact the "teacher".

Is the class easy, no. Does he try to help during class time, yes. I received an A because I read the book, listened and studied. My lowest grade on the tests was a 99.

His visual Basic Programming class was easy. All you have to do to succeed with Pilof is to just complete the projects. Duh!

Comment:

Very difficult professor. Not only are the assignments difficult, but he grades hard. Most people dropped the class in the first few weeks. You learn programming based off his powerpoints that he painfully reads from. He did seem to curve some grades at the end if he noticed you working hard. Thank god.

One of the worst at RMU. He is completely unhelpful and he will not listen to reason even if its the right answer. Even if you prove him wrong he will just state that it is 'out of the scope of the course'. I ended up getting a C in his class. I missed only ONE on the certification test and I am currently a Systems and network admin. Avoid!

This man was not very helpful. He seemed very impatient and grouchy a lot. I do not recommend this man as your teacher.

Useless professor, he does not know what he is teaching, never saw a professor discuss politics, cruise, side work etc in the class ans on top of it saying he does not care about the job as he enough money. By far the worst Professor at RMU, I pulled a A in his class. I guess he will be fired.

By far the worst Professor at RMU, I pulled a C in his class, only because I was 1 of 10 people left in his class. Meanwhile failing everyone else. Makes college hell, and gives homework that takes days, not hours.Hope this guy gets fired. Continuing to make RMU look like a community college. Good Job RMU!Dont bother complaining. they do nothing!

Took him for N+. He is a tough teacher. I worked hard in his class and ended up with an A. He curves tests about 10-15 points. You WILL learn from him if you can pay attention

Talks down to students, does not care about students, very loud and obnoxious. Does not allow you to ask questions if it does not pertain to his powerpoint. Does note help students, should not be teaching at graduate level, better yet should not be teaching at all. Makes the Communications and IT Program at RMU look bad.

Not all that bad...not all that great either. Gives you his powerpoints, which is his version of the book. Make sure you listen to his lectures, he puts things on the tests that are not on the ppts or in the book. Don't look up answers to homework questions on the web. They're in the ppts. Make sure you study hard

Im currently taking his project management class. First two assignments not to bad. The Test I felt like I was blindsided on even though I studied my a$$ off. 3rd assignment with WBS was ridulous to give over a Easter holiday. I dont even know if I will make it through this class so ridulous. BTW I could careless about your 22 cruises A hole!

All i can say is avoid Him.. what a great combination Arrogant+clueless+stays at specif issue, even if he is wrong.... Act as a king of his domain, sets his own definitions, makes his own meanings and also claims that his text book is correct and every other source including gogle books and encyclopedia, cant stand infornt of his definitions,,,

That class was a 6 week class. To be fair, a longer class duration MIGHT have improved things.
