The most incompetent teacher I've ever had. Very poor communication skills. Out of every question I heard asked of him in class, not one did he successfully answer.
Good Teacher! Fairly easy class have to know: Word, PPT, Access, Excel. Class mandatory for Tests and Extra Credit. Offers alot of Extra Credit...Appx 135pts. You need the book to access the assignements and answer critical thinking questions. If you do the work and try you'll get an A no problem!
SUMMER/Hybrid - Very pleasant instructor, willing to help. Many assignments, may seem overwhelming to those not already familiar. Workload: 12, 15-30min chpt assignments; 12 30-60min CBT assignments; 4 30-60min projects; 12 - 60Q quizs; 3-Tests (Q’s come from quizzes); *Course is due to change next fall; slw to respond to email. Quick to grade.
Learned much.
He is very helpful and will go through the steps with you for a better understanding of the materials.
Great class I learned a lot
I will like to thanks Mr. Brown for his responsability on class, for always being on time, and to be clear and concise on this class.
super easy and very nice
Classes were engaging and coducive to a productive learning environment.
good teacher, helpful and helps you if you have any problems
Prof. Brown is very helpful, and is well versed in his academic area of expertise. Would recommend.
Professor Brown's class is easy to pass if you do your work. He is also flexible if you're having trouble.
He was a very good teacher. He helps you with anything you need and gives you guided help before completing a project.
Professor Brown was very helpful during this course.
Easy, attendance is not really required (you mark yourself present online). Work is all done at your own pace.
Mr. brown is a tough cookie, he also doesnt except late work. But he does try to understand situations. Im glad the school offers tutoring tho or i wld b in bad shape!
Great Teacher, Learned Easily.
Very organized and returns grades in a timely manner.
This is a really fun class and easy to do. He is a really nice teacher and does great with helping if you are stuck! Just ask him a question and he will help you out! One thing to make sure you do is to turn things in on time! That is all he ask and to do you work! :) Loved the class.
Great class, easy to learn, and though it was difficult in some parts it was fun.
Half the material covers the more technical aspects of computers, such as hardware and how software works. If you love computers, then it's fairly interesting. The other half of the class covers the usage of Microsoft Office, which is boring for everyone. If you can read and are good at CLOSELY following instructions, then this class is a breeze.
I enjoyed prof. Brown's class. He is very patient in dealing with a bunch of frustrated students trying to learn access.
It is an intense course but there is great class participation
There are a few assignments in this class that are difficult, but overall it's pretty easy The professor is great and very helpful. He will answer all your questions if needed and he is also very understanding.
This class is awesome and pretty easy for the most part, plus the professor is very helpful!!
The professor was very nice; however, he should do more instructing. Showing the training once is not enough, and all the class time should be use in the event students have questions.
He is a good professor and his class is easy as long as you come to class and willing to learn new things on the computer.
Great, fun class!
although class is obviously mandatory, I missed quite a few because of my schedule. I was still able to pretty much keep up and since it is online, do work outside of class time. He makes this class simple!
I feel like i learned a great deal with this class through it all he made very good gestures.
easy class, cannot make up projects and exams. Flexible with attendance, if you have internet you can do your work. He gives exta credit and is a nice teacher.
Mr. Brown is a good teacher, He is very understanding and patient when it comes to having difficulty with completing an assignment. Overall just pay attention READ instruction carefully and you will be fine.
Very interesting & fun! It did not get into deep issues.
tHIS PROFESSOR IS REALLY SMART. HE UNDERSTANDS THE FACT THAT THINGSN COME UP I LIFE AND HE WILL WORK WITH YOU TO HELP YOU SUCCEED IN CLASS. I RECOMMEND TAKING A CLASS WIT HIM.
You have to be knowledgable about the assignments, and very clear on instructions.
He was a very good teacher hope to have him again one day.
Did very well. Enjoyed his class and if you take it in the summer, if you stay at least a day ahead, then you are set in this class. If in the fall or spring, then it should be really easy. Good class.
This class requires a lot of time. It is basically like taking an Online Class. The class isn't hard, just a lot of busy work. Prof. Brown gives you a couple opportunities for extra credit. The tests come from the quizzes so you know what is on the test. If you have a busy schedule don't take this class during the summer.
I took this class in the summer and it took a lot of time out of me as everyday there is something due so if you have a free summer then take it otherwise dont.Many chances to get extra credit and if you do the quizzes you have all the answers to the test.Plus any question you may have he is more than happy to help you.I recommend him to anyone.
Easy enough if you stay on top of your work. (There's a lot of it.) If you're unsure about something, he's happy to help.
very helpfull and easy, everything is online. the pre exam quizes are very helpful for the exams.
Very helpful always willing to answer ones question.
Had a great time in his class but next time i need to download apps for his class like access and powerpoint really njoyed powerpoint.
Really enjoyed the class.
Great teacher will really help you out and very understanding.
Proffesor Brown is very helpful always willing to help, great proffesor. His class is not hard but if you take the class in the summer its lots of work.
Good teacher. Very easy
Get the eBook homework done as soon as possible to get as much of the work out of the way as you can.
Great teacher.
Mr. Brown is a great teacher and he understands if you have do deal with persoanl matters.
class may have been an online class. if you miss a deadline even if your kid is in surgery you cannot make it up. you better know what your doing before you get there. if not he will give you a short answer and walk off, doesnt matter if you understand or not.
Aside from the material, his class was very easy. I would take him again if I had to take another technology course.
Professor is very laid back but strict on late work, he will not take any late work but does not care if you come to class or not.
When I started the class I was completely lost, but now I at the end I feel that I learn a lot from the class and the professor. Mr. Brown is a very nice person.
Easy class. Easy to follow, and easy to keep up with.
The class was very easy!
Mr. Brown has a very easy class. He does not require standing up in front of the class for a presentation. But, if you are new to computers you may want a more hands on teacher that can help you.
Easy Class but he wasn't much help when you asked certain questions about some assignments. Sometimes it seemed like he didn't know the program as much as he should. Also, if you communicate any problems (like being sick, ect.) with him, he'll work with you to keep up. I would take the class for an easy grade. Just make sure you do all your work.
Very good professor. Easy to keep up with, gives extra credit and follows syllabus.
The professor is well organized and he follows his syllabus accurately. With this professor this class is easy, just attend class, do all your assignments, and turn your work in on time.
This class a little difficult for me at the beginning because I did not know to much of computers programs but Now I am more confident and able to do the projects. Professor Brown helps the students to understand when we had some issues I recommended him for a teacher
At the beginning of the semester it was difficult for me to catch up because I did not know to much about computation but now I am more confidentProfessor Brown makes the class easy and IF you present all your assignments the class will be easy
Easy Professor. Just do the assignments, and if you finish the assignments you get to leave early.
Really helpful, lots of extra credit. Easy professor to deal with. I enjoyed having him as my professor.
Needs to be more considerate as far as helpfulness.
I think Professor Brown class was an interesting class but training in class is very important and the training. Also if you're computer illiterate then GO TO THE COMPUTERS LABS ! Besides that he is a very nice and laid back teacher and follows the syllabus accordingly.
The professor is knowledgeable about what he is teaching and knows how to help with everything on the projects. If you do the work on time you will have no problems with this class.
Very easy professor and very straight forward. The assignments are very easy and the projects include step by step directions. VERY EASY TAKE HIM.
He is very nice! The class is super easy if you stay on top of your work. I rarely used the text book but DO EVERY QUIZ they arent a grade but they are basically the tests!!! (:
His class is easy and he will help you if you ask for it.
The course is fairly easy, the only thing that I had issues with is you have check a message board almost every day.
Mr Brown is my fav professor he makes us laugh all the time an he is always there to help hes always surprising us wth easy extra credit assignments and small smarty parties
Easy class
Professor Brown is an awesome professor. He's always willing to help out, and this class is really easy. No matter how you are with computers, there's really no reason for you to walk away with a bad grade.
Class was very easy and he is always willing to help you out.
The class is not difficult. You just have to keep up with the assignment timeline and turn in your assignments on time. You learn all the Windows programs.
this teacher is very easy, you have to do very little work and all in all he doesn't really care. Good teacher to take if you hate computers
He's cool
Class is very easy and to the point, Shouldn't be a problem to get an easy A in the class if you do the work. and extra credit opportunities like this one.
Professor is helpful as long as you as him. The Projects are a more on your own, and he does move quickly going through the lectures
Very easy class if you actually care. Professor knows his stuff and is real helpful. Also gives a lot of extra credit opportunity.
Professor is very helpful as long as you ask him. He starts his lecture as soon as class starts, and most of the time you wanna be there for the lecture. He is considerate of your ability and will slow down as long as it doesn't hold back the class. The assignments are simple and if you do the work and reading, you'll walk out with a good grade.
Very easy class if you are on time and do the work. He's very nice and even had a "SMARTY PARTY" for us. First time I had ever had a Professor give that much attention to us! Thank you Mr. Brown! :)
He is a great professor!!! The class was extremely easy and i highly recommend him as a professor. There's no reason to not take him!
I loved professor Brown. This class was so easy. Pay attention and do the dog and pony shows and you will be fine. I enjoyed this class also. You can only miss 3 days of class but if you go you will be fine. Lots of extra credit
I loved professor Brown, seriously class is so easy. All you need to do is do your work and the work is not hard at all. He spends one day training you and the next you do by yourself.
Excellent Professor
computers Is not my favorite course, however Professor Brown is easy going. His demonstrations in class are fast so pay attention.
Excellent Professor! He is there when you need him. Also super easy class.
cool class
In Professor Brown's 1401 class, you learn the basics of computers and how to use Microsoft Word, Excel, Access, and PowerPoint. He gives plenty of extra credit opportunities, and he does hands on training in class, which I found very helpful. If you're not so great with computers, I recommend his class.
Professor Brown has been one of the best professors I have had all year. He's always on time and answers all your questions. He has made the course very simple as it does follow the syllabus from start to finish and does not sneak in any surprise assignments. Overall Professor Brown is an excellent choice when you want to take intro of computers.
Professor Brown is a great teacher. You have 3 times to submit a project and he will take the highest grade. You should get a 100 everytime because it tells you what you need to correct. Very easy class. Just do all of the assignments and you will get an A.
Very chill teacher. Hardly gives any issues at all. Highly Recommended.
great teacher he follows the syllabus just give a little effort and do the assignments you wont fail. easy test hard to fail
He is very helpful in class and patient. He really loves teaching this so its enjoyable.
Great professor if you show up to class. knows his material and is easy to understand
The syllabus is all the info you need. If you complete assignments by the time they're due, you'll do really well in the class. I would definitely take this class in the summer session!
Really cool class. I learned a lot about computers that I didn't know before. If you take it during the summer, be prepared to do work everyday so make sure you have well time management. Overall great professor, and he's always there if you need help.
Really cool class, I learned a lot about computers that I didn't know before. Professor Brown is always there to help when needed. If you take it during the summer be prepared to have work due everyday, so as long as you have very well time management you should be fine just do the work when it's due
He's really nice
I took this class during the summer as a hybrid class. I already had a bit of knowledge from highschool so it was very easy to me. Not to much work and follows calender exactly. I recomend it.
365 was not include in book software. Which made it difficult to complete sam assignments.
Professor Brown is knowledgeable and cares about the success of his students. He is patient and understanding, and creates a comfortable class environment. He is also flexible allowing students access to all coursework in advance so assignments can be completed in advance if more convenient for the student.
Adrian Brown is knowledgeable and cares about the success of his students.
Took his hybrid class during the summer: Easy if you attend class and keep up with daily work.
Very helpful, demonstrates all applications aside from online trainings, Mr. Brown will go out of his way anytime. You will use a textbook in this class and the syllabus will never have any exceptions,if there is an assignment due on a specific day,it will always be due that day no matter the circumstances.Overall, Mr. Brown is highly recommended!!
Easy, very flexible about attendance and assignments. Does not accept late work.
Good class!!
Mr. Brown is a great prof. He knows what he's talking about and after the semester you will to. For whatever reason he started out our first class calling it a monster, but it wasn't. Just do the assignments and you're good to go.
I came into the class with a basic understanding of the subjects that was positively reinforced in a fun environment by Professor Brown. Very great guy with an amazing attitude.
This class is interesting but you have to make sure that you need to update everytime on D2L. You have to make sure you follow the works on his time line and submit it on time; otherwise, you will receive low grade. Yall need to pay attention his steps in class because he goes the direction very quick.
This prof is cool and his class is interesting. Make sure you need to do his assignments and follow his time line. He will go over direction very quick and for sure you need to ask him if you can not understand. You need to update yourself on D2L because there are many assignments you need to submit to him on time.
I love him
I have enjoyed talking this class because my learning outcomes are very high and im interested in this field now. He is friendly ,helpful and easy to talk to .
The professor is specific on each subject and is available for anyone who needs help. I would definitely take this course all over again and not regret it; it is very informational and the things learned in the course will probably be used by many people in the near future.
Professor Brown is a great teacher. He makes computers fun, I have learned a lot about computers that I didn't know about even though it was difficult at times. He made the material easier to understand.
"Swag Bag" very helpful
Mr. Brown is very helpful to all students. He is always very patient, and is very straight-forward in what he expects on projects, tests, and comprehensive projects. I thought that I knew a lot about computers before I took this class, but I have learned so much more! Definitely a must-take class.
Very clear about instructions
easy class if you do all work. there is no homework, all the assignments are done in class.
Really though take this man. worth it. informative, funny and he is a great professor overall. Weekly assignments keeps you entertained but again worth it.
Just keep up with your assignments and this class is an easy A.
He is very helpful with all student. He is very patient, too. This class can easy get A because give big time extra credit.
He is a very easy grader and if you need help he will help you. Also, he is organized goes directly based of the syllabus. He is funny also and starts class on time.
Mr. Brown was a very clear professor he always got his point across
Professor Brown is really clear when he is lecturing, don't miss class if you want to keep up with all the projects on time. Make sure to do every single project and assigment then you will get an easy A. Tests are not hard if you read the sections from the online book, also try to do all the quizes they would help you a lot for the tests.
I enjoyed Professor Brown's class. I loved the dog and pony show. He's a no non-sense kinda of teacher, which is good. He gives the assignments in plenty of time to complete them. He was cool about me being a few minutes late to class all time because I take care of my brother, so that was real plus with me. If you talk to him he'll work with you.
He is a wonderful teacher, Very nice and helpful. Clear Grading and cares about you as a student.
this class is very easy. if you show up and participate in the training assignments you will pass. he grades very easy and he's very helpful.
Great professor, deff would take again!
Great teacher and gives plent of oppturnities for extra credit, easy A if you show up and pay attention to the dog and poney show lol
Professor Brown is a helpful computer teacher at Lonestar. He helps me with my schoolwork whenever I need help. Sometimes I do the work by myself, and I get a good grade on every assignment. He also gives the class extra credit in order for us to pass his class. I think I might be able to pass.
Easy class if you do the work. He is there to answer any of your questions. He is very clear on what is due when and what he expects on the assignments.
Class was enjoyable
Professor Brown was a great instructor he was always there to answer questions and made sure every student understood the material before moving forward. I'd recommend taking his class!
A little bit more hands -on learning than normal professors.
A little bit more hands-on learning than normal professors who just lecture the whole class session.
His class isn't hard but you have to show up to get a good grade and participate and complete all of your work. Also, if you are having troubles then there is tutoring held 2 times a week to get help. Also, towards the end of semester he gives extra credit just in case you need that extra boost
Mr. Brown is a really helpful professor. Each Tuesday we do hands on training which means he goes step by step teaching us how to work on certain computer programs. Because of this class I have learned many things. I really enjoyed this class because Mr. Brown was always ready to answer questions.
Mr. Brown is a person who will willingly help you if you ask him for help. His tests aren't too hard. However, it is highly recommended that you study for the tests assigned. The projects he gives are all pretty easy. The only program students seemed to struggle with was using Access and sometimes Excel.
Mr. Brown, is an amazing teacher that helps students in answering there questions clearly and thoroughly, this class is amazing and is meant for people to succeed and not fail.
In this class you have to pay attention to detail. if he does something, do it his way even if their is another way to do it. he does everything for a reason. plus, it will assure you that you want have questions.
Grades tough, but all fair. He gives extra credit opportunity at the end of the school year when you've missed some assignments in his class. Lenient and helps when we ask for it. Very thorough with his work and does a practice assignment before we do the actual one.
Make sure you read the online modules to do the projects and quizzes. Do that and it'll make the semester go by so much faster and easier. Real cool guy. Don't be afraid to ask questions; the only stupid question is the one you don't ask.
The books are a must for this class. Be sure to do the textbook projects exactly as the book tells you. Tutoring is a good way to get help if you are not understanding the projects. Be sure to stay ahead on your work because it can pile up quickly if you do not stay on top of it.
There was a ton of homework.
Great teacher. If you show up to class and do your work, it is an easy grade.
it okay
Good Professor. Show up, do the work and pass.
He is a really great guy. If you ask questions he is more than willing to help you out and help work through whatever problem you many have, textbook is a must and you will have a computer project almost every week but it is very manageable if you know how to use the Microsoft Office Suite. Overall great class must take.
this class is awesome you really learn alot about Microsoft and what it has to offer.
The class was easy since the Professor made every assignment clear and easy to understand.
Professor Brown is very laid-back and very informative. You will have multiple discussion posts to do, but they are very easy and do-able. The tests are STRAIGHT FROM THE QUIZZES, and the answers are easy to memorize (EASY A'S!). The "projects" are very easy and you will have three chances to make a 100 on them.
The grades are graded by an online grading system. Adrian helps but if he can't figure it out you're out of luck. It's a lot of little projects but if you finish them and keep up you'll do okay. The grading is harsh because it is done by a system.
Lot's of work but the only part of the class that poses a lot of difficulty is learning Access, but that's because Access is a mess. Learned a lot of really helpful tools pretty easily and the tests are literally straight from the quizzes.
Really Great Guy, Good Teacher, Computer Class This Class was a Breeze Prof. Brown Is A Guy Who Will Thoroughly Explain in Detail what has to be done for Assignments most Assignments Are Done Through Microsoft Office or Discussion Posts.
He gives clear and accurate instructions. There's a lot of assignments but their not difficult. Pretty straightforward class. Just do the work and you're golden
Easy A and very relaxed.
I benefited from the hands-on labs when the concepts were difficult, but I also appreciated being free to do my work at mostly my own pace. He gives lectures when we need it, but we still hold a level of independence when doing classwork, which is great because everyone can go at their own pace.
It was a summer term, but it was a good class.
Works with you so you can do your best.
I like this guy.
