Kind, but uncomfortable and surprisingly moody to less computer oriented students. Easy Class, but avoid one-on-one contact if possible.

Comment:
Took this class by distance ed. Based on lecture playback and message boards alone, I agree with others that Phil does seem quick to criticize, but he is equally fast at recognizing and rewarding student contributions and achievements. It's definitely an easy class if you're even a little proficient with a computer.

Comment:
The class is definatly an easy A/A+ if you do the work. Its not recommended if you are quite advanced in computers b/c you will find the class useless and way to easy unless your just looking for the easy grade. A great class to take if your other classes are tough and it helps your gpa

Easy material, nice enough Prof., though I am now totally convinced that Commerce is the single easiest program that you can take a Dal. Honestly, just show up and you get an A+ for any class. I'm sticking with Econ, just to keep my sanity.

Comment:
This course is a waste of time and money! He is not even a real professor. He doesn't have a PhD and already had a job with Dal, which is why he was able to get this job. He doesn't teach anything. He is childish and needs to grow up a little. Maybe this course could be useful but it won't be with Phil teaching it.

The course is a breeze, unless you have never seen a computer before. Phil has a lot of attitude and should dtop trying to be cool, he is not helping himself. The "text' is nothing but a money grab and poorly constructed. You'll need it since the tests will require you to know such unimportant facts as how many charactersfit in an excel cell.

Comment:
Phil is unprofessional and petty. When students e-mail him he usually does not bother to respond. When he does, he acts as if he’s doing his recipient some sort of favor. The course material is useless and time consuming. Last week I spent 1/2 a day putting pictures into a Word file... that was it… This class is garbage, don't pay for it.

Comment:
He does not answer my questions, and if he does it's of a completely different topic. If i ask a question that he has already gone over he gets mad ...I don't enjoy his work, or his class and i feel half the work we do is pointless. i don't enjoy checking the webct every day and his instructions are vague at times.

He is a good prof. Just do all your work and do a bunch of volunteer works to get BONUS marks. Only one thing that annoys me is that he never answer my questions. Like I asked him a question, he always answers something else that is totally different from what I've asked.

Excellent prof!! Don't take the course if you are proficient with computers as you won't gain anything from the course. Although it's a great course if you only know the basics and want to go a bit further in depth.

He is the rudest, most imbecilique, anti-pedagogical excuse for a teacher I have ever met. I feel sorry for his children. This man cannot teach!

Yes, he's a bit inspiring, but if I want to be inspired, I'd watch Dr.Phil than pay $500+ dollars on this stupid course. He is a real jerk, and his class is a HUGE waste of time and money. Don't take it unless it's required for your program. I wish I had never taken it. Live and learn I guess.

Yes he may be rude & his course has nothin 2 do w/comps, but the main reason he teaches is to inspire us to live. I realized after the first class that I wanted to live my life based on my passion, not on what I can do. He encourages you to live your life and make time to enjoy it while you're here.
