The best part of the course is Dr, Kirs' walk.

Bad_Points

Sometimes i don't like that the whole class is all theory.

WebisteComments

mmm i think it should be more clear whhat we have to do throughout all the semester because if not you have be finding all over this website what else you required, i mean is not bad, but i think there is another way to do it.

The way the instructors chapter slides are incorperated into the chapter lectures.

Bad_Points

The online question are an outstanding tool for the chapter quizes but the online question are sometimes very lengthy and the tests should only incorperate the chapter quizes instead of the online questions. There tends to be alot of online question verses the quizes and or shorten the online questions length in some chapters.

WebisteComments

The course is going very well so far. The only issue I have encountered is the references that I have been posting have not all posted. Enjoy the online sections of the course.

The on line quizzes

To many topics in one week

I like the fact that you give us the slides and the on line questions to study for the quizzes.

Bad_Points

It is always lecture maybe if we had some jeopardy games once in a while it would break the ice.

I like the course overall and I've learned concepts that I didn't know about.

I like that everything (quizzes, grades, etc) is posted online and can be easily accessed anytime.

Bad_Points

I think there are too many questions per chapter.

WebisteComments

More activities such as the jeopardy game would be great.

I like all of the class. there is no special thing. I like how we turn in the assignments on-line.Its cool that way we don't waste paper. Lots of other classes ask for print outs and the amount of print outs at the labs is now limited. It used to be where we could print out 100 pages in one lab but when we would go to another lab we could print out another 100 but know we have a certain amount of print outs for all the labs to share. so that's cool.

Bad_Points

What I don't like about the class is that there are alot of mistakes on the slides. Were slides are repeated and we waste paper printing them. Also some of the online review questions that are on-line have the wrong answers as the correct one. When it comes to the test we study the wrong answer and therefore get it wrong.

WebisteComments

Maybe a little more time spent modifying the website and make corrections so that all the material is current and correct. I hate printing then having to print again because we got the wrong stuff or because things were missing and corrections were made. More organization on the web.

I like the fact that whatever questions come from the test they are posted online.

Bad_Points

The ugly part about the course is that when we are studying for tests and we read the practice problems, it turns out there is over 100 questions for each chapter.

WebisteComments

I think that there should be a different form of a study guide instead of just those practice problems.

It is easy to study given the lecture slides and resources provided

Bad_Points

following the course schedule is a bit difficult, and knowing exactly what is due and when takes some getting used to. (I assume you already know that a lot of the material is a bit dry... and i doubt anything can be done about that. oh well.)

WebisteComments

navigation through the website could be a little more clear, and specific dates about submissions would help. otherwise good. thanks

The best part about this course is the additional coverage online questions. It really helps in preparing for the in-class quizzes.

Bad_Points

The bad thing about this course is the large amount of information that is condensed into this short period of time

WebisteComments

I would improve this course by decreasing the amount of information per week. One chapter per week is more practical than two chapters a week.

The best part of the course is that a text book was not required to learn the objectives of the course because the author's slides and yours complement really good and prapare you for the exams.

Bad_Points

All the classes that I have had about cis are really bored, and yours is not the exception.

WebisteComments

80 percent of my learning process is visual. If I have not physically seen the components of a computer, it is very difficult to me to learn the concept. What would make this course easier and interesting is to have some open computers in the class and see the component that we are talking about. Possbibly; you can assign a computer to a group of five students, so that way we can see the components and learn its function simultaneouly.

bad parte is that the next slides are not ready before casse the additional coverage like on line questions to be ready and prepared before the class and exame

WebisteComments

i think that is a good class and you gave us the information in a website available 24 hours aday but getting the information one week before class would be better to read, practice on line questions an get al the info possible one week before the cahpter is discussed

I think it's fine just the way it is. Maybe if there were more instructions on the website more specific dates or times when things are due, that would help.

I was not aware how much information technology is incorporated into our everyday and business lives. I also like to learn about the background of IT and how it came about. It's interesting to know where and how things actually started.

Bad_Points

IT can be very technical, it can be a little overwhelming at times.

Maybe more class participation. I really liked the Jeopardy game we played.

I liked the review with the jeopardy game for test #1. The slides have all the information very well summarized. The Web page for the course is very nice and organized.

Bad_Points

I have liked everything in the course except for the chapter #6 questions missing. I study form the online questions, so it was more difficult to learn, and memorize all the slides; even worst, the exam day I couldn't remember what I had studied. It was just a bunch of information that I messed up.

WebisteComments

I don't think that there are things that need to be changed or improved so far. I like the course format, the due dates are very specific,all the submission forms are well designed.

I do like that the material is presented in form of slides and that there is not so much heavy emphasis on the book. The slides give you a much better picture of what is important and significant of the material. I also like the fact that you give us those practice questions and that the exams are based on those. For me it is a good possibility to find out what part of the chapters I did understand and what parts I still need to work on. Otherwise, I do really like your style of teaching. It is a very relaxed atmosphere with the possibility to work on our own pace.

Bad_Points

I think that the practice questions are too many per chapter. They could be reduced since some of the questions are just repetition of themselves. Moreover, there are mistakes (at least one) with the answers of those questions per chapter. If you compare those answers to the information on the slides, than you will see that the slides tell you something different. And of course, you were right when you said in the beginning of this course that the material we are going to cover is not very interesting!

WebisteComments

Cut the amount of the practice questions by eliminating the repetitive questions. Everyting else I would leave the same.

Some assignments aren't clarified as to what is expected. Even the FAQs doesn't clarify some things.

Have the class end a few minutes early if possible to allow time to meet with group members.

The online assignments and quizzes make it easier to keep up with the class and work at your own pace.

Bad_Points

Typical "Death by PowerPoint" class (Sorry, but thanks for being so understanding when I had to miss class for Air Assault Training). And, I think the class project is a little pointless.

WebisteComments

Take the class project out of the curriculum and implement some kind of group work into class time to work on assignments.

The best part of the course is knowing what to study for when taking a test. Other courses require too much study and then most questions that you study are not on the test. In this course it is easier to learn what it is you need to learn. I do enjoy this class. CIS is my major so I like what I am learning.

Bad_Points

The quizzes and submissions should be due at the end of the week Saturday or Sunday. Sometimes it is difficult to get to a computer by Friday or Thursday in order to submit your work. When you work and go to school it is difficult to manage your time. Weekends are usually the times when I am able to get to homework.

There are too many on-line questions.

I think that it will help us on letting us do some more on hand work than actually just base it on theory only.

the online questions and quizes are very helpful.

In the student information area, better define what we are turning in.

WebisteComments

Give us a key to the class standings area, i.e. what does A1 mean, so we can figure out what we have turned in so far.
