| Additional Comments |
First of all, this class is tough. There are about 20+ assignments counting everything. However, some assignments count only about 1% of the grade, and one spends so much time on those its hard to focus on the bigger assignments. Like the other eval said, try to turn everything in even if it isn't perfect.
With so many assignments, this class can take time, especially the 5 labs. The software is pretty cool but can be cantankerous and have many problems, such as not saving things properly. Some concepts are also a bit difficult to grasp.
Nevertheless, Dr. Deal's instructions for the labs and exercises are often good and can help tremendously; I am also glad because they are hard copy and he doesn't use Blackboard. He is somewhat unusual but not in a fatal way, so to speak. He can be very helpful and circles the room constantly for questions.
The 2 tests are not too bad; they require some comparisons of terms. That is also where the book could come in.
I took this class for the CIS minor; it is okay in the final analysis. Dont take it just for fun though.
