i have to agree with the last rating. alec was always super helpful in and out of class, and even two years after i've taken the course, he still helps me with technology in my own classroom. he's probably the only prof i still talk to, and the one that always really cared about quality education.

Alec was a great prof. and so funny! He definately made class interesting and taught us tons of practical computer skills we can use in the classroom. He is a hard marker though and really knows his stuff. He is also always willing to help though and go above and beyond to make sure everyone understands. I would take another class from him.

Don't be afraid to ask questions, Dr. Couros is one of the most helpful profs on campus; he really cares. He is also extremely hot, so it is easy to pay attention to him. Everything he teaches is practical and will be used either in your internship or when you get out teaching your own class. If I could I would take any and every class with him

As far as I know, everyone enjoys this class and thinks Alec is a great prof. I agree but as someone who is very literate in technology I didn't find this class interesting. If you know very little about technology/social media - then this class will be good for you. I just got bored of it after awhile.
