easiest exams in the whole CIS department (I think so, he tells you what's on it.) The only reason i didn't give him a pefect score is because we have to do a minimum 20 page group paper, and you have to present on it.
He is a VERY VERY easy professor. the only big thing u had to do the whole semester was write a 20 page group (5/6 ppl) term paper. not bad at all. he's a very lenient grader on it. he reviews for tests and if u study what he tells u to, u'll do great
He is really good.
He tells fun stories in class. Only teaches what you really need for the test and gives reviews. Class always ends early so we can have time for group work in class. Gives great advice.
Hes a great professor, brings alot of real world situations into the class, very big on ethics. Midterm and final are easy if you come to his review which tells you what to study for and not to study for. Min of 20 page project very interesting class.
very friendly. take notes, it helps
EXCELLENT TEACHER BUT HE GOES OFF THE TOPIC - BY DELIGHTING US FUNNY STORIES:JUST WATCH OUT- STARTING FALL 2004- CIS CLASS WILL BE USING A NEW EDITION -6TH EDITION.. HE SAYS IT A LIL BIT HARDER AND IT'S MORE FOCUS IN THE BUSINESS SIDE OF CIS - GOOD LUCK
He is such an easy professor. His exams are exactly what he tells you to study for and the project is not that bad. He is very interesting and a very nice professor.
Excellent professor and a good person. Treats students with respect, tests are easy mostly based on your notes.
Very easy professor. He explains everything that is on the midterm and final; telling you were to read in the book to claify things for the exams. He also is willing to show examples of previous projects to help you better understand how the project is to be done and what is expected.
He is such a nice professor. He tells you exactly what to prepare for in order to do well on your 2 exams. If you are debating between him and another cis professor, take him and you will not regret it.
Very easy class. He tells you exactly what is going to be in the test. However, you do have to study for this class if you want an A. He is a very fair grader, so don't try to beg for a higher grade: it is not going to happen. Put a lot of effort into writing the group project. It is very important.
He's a very nice professor. There are times that he barely teaches but the good thing about it is that he gives/tells you what exactly is going to be in the test. Two misdterms and a group project are the requirements for this class. Just read and study the book and you'll be fine and even do well.
Boring! Tells stupid stories in class. Make sure u get friendly with him if u need a good grade. He plays favorites. But pretty easy class. Make sure u read!
He is a nice guy, but do not expect a good grade just because you are nice too. The new book is not too bad, reviews before exams are very helpful.
the class becomes easy when u read exactly what he tells you b4 the exams... very nice guy, pretty easy...
Take him, and listen carefully when he tells you about the test. If you have any problem, go and talk to him, he listen to students and this my friends, is very important in choosing a professor. Beside that he has great stories and the book is easy and fun to read.
Really nice guy and very approachable. He is there to help students, not hurt them. Very knowledgeable, and you will learn a lot from him and his stories. Have to do a a pretty big group project, but he gives plenty of time and you can send him drafts to check. Highly recommended.
Very nice guy! Easy midterm and final (tells you exactly what to study before the tests). There is one large group paper which is not that bad but it is a min. of 20 pages. Still he gives a lot of time and lets you know exactly what he wants. Also some of his stories can be a bit interesting.
Professor Schor is an excellent guy, and very easy professor. Two tests: midterm+final. Two quizes. One group project (very easy). Easy "A"...
He is cool, but you will get a lot of work. The group project is huge, and both of his exams are tricky (50 m/ch questions and 25 feelings each). He does not really give lectures, so you will have to read and memorize the book. Overall, he is a good and helpful teacher.
You have study hard to get an A.. 50 multiple c. questions and 25 fill in the blanks.. which is too much to make mistakes and and reason for not getting an A. otherwise he is FAIR..you can pass the class with B..but u have to memorize 100s of definitions that r going to be in the exams..BUT MUCH BETTER THAN PROG. HUGES..
Very Nice Professor. He helps a lot and gives you what you have to study for mid-term.
He's a good prof. but the fill-ins are a little tricky.
I think he's easy although many people say he's not. It's true that we have to memorize a lot of definitions for the exam, but that's all we had to do. He even tells you what to memorize in advance. So there's no reason why you shouldn't do well unless you don't study.
Very easy class. He tells you exactly what you need to know for the exams, page by page in the textbook. He literally sits there and reads you every piece of info you need to know. You're pretty much guaranteed at least a B, but if you bother to read the book, you'll get an A or A- for sure.
I loved that guy - fair and funny. higly recommended
wonderful teacher, tells you exam material page by page and stresses most mentioned things on the exam. the exam is 50 MC and 25 fill-in's they really aren't that hard if your just review the information he tells u to. The group project is rather simple,key thing is follow wat he wants in it and how he wants it. joy taking him. Recommended!
I loved this Prof, very clear. If you do a grp project, you get 40% of your final grade easily, and the project is soo easy. Midterm & final is very easy, he pretty much underlines the important in the review class and tell you what he expects. Easy A class
The best pro in Baruch. His work is easy. He tells you want will be on the midterm and the final. You just need you read over it and remeber those term. Group project is easy, just do what he is asking. if you want a easy A or B, Take him.....
Two tests, one midterm on final and a project which is worth 40% of your grade. Put effort in the project, come to class before the exam because he tells you exactly what's on the test- page number and everything. Study what he tells you and you'll get an A.
Lets you know exactly what he needs from you. He's a great teacher, fair grader and made this stuff easy to understand, interesting and real world applicable. A+! I'd take him again
Great professor! He is very clear on what's expected tests and project. Follow his examples and suggestions and you will have an A. The project can be a bit daunting, but its really not that bad. His reviews before exams are great. I do recommend!
Professor gives real industry examples of scenarios that could very likely happen to any business student. Clear, approachable, down to earth. Requires straight forward material- Project, Midterm and Final. Material could be technical but not difficult. He gives great reviews for both test!, you just have to show up for the review. RECOMEND HIGHLY!
Very straight forward! He lets you know what he wants and how he wants it. One big group project, one midterm and one final. Do what he wants and you should be fine
He's very nice, easy going, and straight foward! He's the best! Tells you exactly what you have to do, and do great reviews before exams! 1 MIDTERM 30%, 1 FINAL 30%, 1 GROUP PROJ. 40%.
He Rocks, he's got industry experience and a bunch of interesting stories to relate to the class.
2 exams and a group project thats it. give him exactly what he wants on the project and u will ace it. as for exams; just show up to the review BRING ur textbook and a hgihlighter and study what he tells u. memorize it. the questions can be tricky bc he plays around with words- but if u know the definations u will get an A. Take him, really easy.
GREAT PROF. VERY HELPFUL..I DIDNT KNOW JACK ABOUT COMPUTER LANGUAGE BUT I TOOK HIS CLASS LEARNED A LOT AND GOT A SWEET 'A'..THE MIDTERM WAS HARD BUT FINAL WAS A WONDERFUL BREEZE..LOVE THIS PROF. (HE CURVES)
Midterm kind of hard, but not rly, final was ez, only thing is the proj is kind of tedious, Overall it was an ez teaher, ez A
He is very nice. Midterm, Final and a Group project worth 40% of your grade. He curves his exams and also your final grade : ) Take him!
He's GREAT! His review for the final is amazing, he tells you exactly what to study, by page numbers and paragraphs!!! And the project is also easy, not about programing or anything, just in general business... Also you should put some effort into the power point for the project, he give extra points towards the final for it!
Easy grader, the group project is a bit tough since you have to work with 6-7 other people. The review is a MUST if you want a good grade. I would recommed taking him if you don't mind a group presentation.
LOVE HIM! He is seriously the nicest professor in the world. Extremely caring! Really generous with the grades and wants you to do well. Def. take him!
Top of the line professor. Best professor in the world. Extremely skilled in teaching. Makes the class super fun. Wouldn't miss class for the world. Super nice and helpful to students. Simply the professor that the Baruch has to pay more. Too good for baruch.
He is one of the best professor's I had at Baruch. He will bump your grade up for attending and participating. Group project seems like a lot of work but it really isnt. You will learn a lot from it and it was really fun. Overall, it is as he treats his students like his grand kids. He cares/wants you learn. Highly recommend.
He is Great! His class are interesting and you will learn! Take him! You have a midterm, a final and a group project!
He is the prof that you definitely want to take, if you don't mind about the group project. Mid-term is a little tricky, but the final is relatively easier than mid-term. just study his review, and you will be ok.
He is a wonderful Professor. I recommend this class for a CIS elective. He is very kind and respects his students. The classwork is not hard at all. Gives you a midterm, Project and Final. Simple Class, you won't need to stress your brains out! He's adorable!
the kind of professor who will smile and give you a B because you tried very hard to get an A but never got it. its ok to take him if you wanna work hard on a stupid project but his exams are retarded. he just asks multiple choice to confuse you. study hard for the exams because this is what it matters, plus the project
Really easy teacher. He tells you specific subjects/pages to focus on for midterm and final. I just studied powerpoints using his review list and got an A in the class. Project is 40% and most people get the full 40%. Midterm and final are 30% each. You can get a 50 on both and still get a C. You have to do terrible in order to bad in this class.
He is a wonderful prof.So kind and respectful! This class does not require you to twist your brain, it's somewhat simple.He is a very fair grader.He will give you a good grade! Do a good job on the presentation and he will tell you what to study/read for the exams. Recommended.
He is very good.fair exams, straightforward questions, no tricks.Group project is easy (if you group members pull their weight which in baruch almost never the case)
AWESOME teacher! Easy grader, very fair. Tells you EXACTLY what you need to study. 2 HW assignments, 50 question Multiple Choice midterm, group project and thats it! Not sure about the final yet but I'm sure he will tell us exactly what we need to know like the midterm. He really is good, very fair and helpful! EASY A!
Very good professor. He usually let students out 15-20 mins early, u dont need to take notes nor really pay attention in class. He give u the exact pages to study for midterm and final. One group project a week or so before final, 30 mins, but ull have 7 or 8 ppl in your group, and its jus ez.. Recommended!
One of the better Professors I had at Baruch so far. he is fair and helpful. there are 2 tests midterm and final, but he tells you exactly what to study and there is a group project, which was easy and fun. I definitely recommend this Prof.
One of the most enjoyable classes I had this semester. Midtern, final and group project. He grades easily on the project and he often let us leave 30+ min early
Great professor, very knowledgeable in the course and has a lot of experience in the field as well. Midterm, final, and group presentation on your own made up company which is graded very leniently. Easy course that doesn't require too much effort. Takes attendance at end of class which is usually 30 min early.
The best professor! He made the class interesting and his exams are fairly easy.
Great professor, keeps the class interesting through experience and personal stories relating to the topic. One midterm, a group project, and then a final. Easy as it can get.
Great Professor, exams are fairly easy. Group project was a little bit of a drab because of the fellow students, but graded fairly.Take this class !
Fairly easy just midterm/final+project. Exams are mostly from the PPT. Would been nice if he incorporated some MS OFfice as other CIS classes did. Overall nice guy, good class, easy going.
Well, he is a good professor, but midterm and final exams are very hard. Very tricky questions....even though he gives pages to study for exams, the mean for the class was 80.
Great professor, most lectures are just brief overview/PPT slides of his chapters.Would recommend reading from the textbook and you'll do good on his midterm/final.Another aspect is just the group project, just make sure you follow or ask him what he wants on it and he'll show/help you and you'll do great.His review for exam is not complete so READ
He will list all the topics that will be tested on. Read only those parts in the textbook and the midterm/final will be a breeze! Try to be as enthusiastic and energetic as possible during the presentation, and ur set for an A!
He is extremely boring. His test is word for word from the book. He tells you the pages the questions are from, but you still have to read and memorize everything. His project is difficult if your group members are retarded/lazy/do not know english. I am pretty damn good with computers, I could not wing this class; it is all business no computers
He is a really easy going professor.1 Project,Midterm and Final. Project isn't all that difficult if you know what you are doing and he grade you easy as well. For midterm and Final he tells you exactly whats going to be on the exams. Cant get easier than that. He makes the class easy but you actually get to learn a lot. TAKE HIM!
One of the best professor I had in baruch college. Mid term and final are 50 multiple choice but he goes over what you have to study page by page. Also, there is mandatory group project which he is very lenient on grading. Easy A
I think he is a really lenient when it comes to grading. Theres a midterm, final and a group project. You will have to read the textbook no matter what and also he will tell you the pages you need and what you don't need to know on the exams.
Very lenient when it comes to grading. Not anal, & the class is laid-back. He's a very nice & understanding man, the problem is, his lectures are incomplete. So you HAVE to read the textbook..also there's a big group project with 7-8 ppl, which he puts A LOT of emphasis on. Only 2 tests (midterm & final, non-cumulative, can be tricky though).
He is a great professor and a wonderful person.
Easy class, he tells you exactly what pages, terms is on the midterm and final during the review so read the textbook and memorize key terms. There is a group project of 7-8 people which is graded very leniently as well
Professor cares about his students, this is the most important thing! 2 exams(30% each) if you read the book it's not a problem. 30% group project, professor helps you with any questions. 5% online hmw+5% sona research(you can do it online, it takes 15 min.) Easy class!
Really good professor! Very fair and no BS type of guy! I would take him again without a second guess!
shows great interest in the subject.
Great prof and easy class. 2 MC tests. Easy if you study. Easy grader as well. Huge group project though so if you hate working in groups, you'll have a tough time. Also, he doesn't teach Excel at all so if you're good at Excel already or don't care about learning it at this point, he's great. Also, how in the world did he get a chili pepper?! lol
First of all, I'm an international student. The professor is a good person, but for the lecture, you learn nothing. The class is easy, but the midterm and final is very tricky. You have to read the textbook 7 chapters, and memorize every term in 2 days. It's very hard for a foreign student.I don't think he is a good teacher
Professor gives a good class,but yes it's boring and nobody pays attention. People believe that everything should be easy. The professor is very easy going, and he will help you if you need help. You need to do some work though, you have to read the chapters before the exam. You cannot just go through a class and do nothing. 2 exams & 1 project.
Easy midterm and final. Final project is pretty long and has a lot of people so you just need to make sure everyone does their part. He grades it pretty easy though. I took him in the summer and he gave us 10 extra credit points for the project for something i can't remember so I'd say every group got over a 90 on the project
He is a pretty easy grader but the midterm and final are tricky. Study the materials he tells you to study and maybe skim over the other materials. However, you will not really learn anything from the lecture but he is willing to go over anything you need when you ask.
He is one of the best professor in Baruch in terms of giving good grades. Easy going. You dont have to go to class everyday, once a week is enough. Gives u the outline before the exam. Read the book you will get an A. I got B+ cz i screwed up my first mid. Presentation 40% which u will get 100 for sure. 30-30 xam so get 26-27 ur good
This class is uber hard. The other comments that are made are from genius students. His midterm and final are difficult and the group proj is long as hell. Be warned. U have to read the textbook completely. The review is useless.
Prof. Schor made a boring CIS class fun. He's extremely nice, intelligent and helpful. Definitely recommend him for any class you can take from him!!
CIS 3444, along with 3700 and 3750, should not be included in the CIS curriculum. These are management/marketing courses. If you’re a CIS major and you enroll in this class voluntarily, shame on you. Legitimate CIS courses need to be added to the curriculum, just look at the waitlists for the upcoming 3100 sections this fall. MKT/MGT? Go for it!
Prof. Schor is a nice guy through and through. really wants students to learn the material. Easy class because the material is basically a history class about the internet and ecommerce. He gives a review with page info. Read the the pages he tells you to twice over the weekend before the midter,/final and you'll score 90+. Easy project.
Very sweet professor one of the best! His lectures were long and really all you have to do is read the textbook does everything to try to boost your grade! Really recommend him to anyone not computer savvy. Unlike other CIS classes there's no excel just a pretty simple group project! Wish I could take him again!
You have everything to succeed in class,because the professor helps to do well. However, the midterm was really tough. Depend on an overall score in class he will decide to curve or not grades( usually curved). Group presentation is 30%, which is good since he gives really high grade for it. I would defiantly take him again.
Easy going professor. You're not going to learn much to be honest, this was more of a marketing class than a CIS class. If you want an easy A to B, take him. Exams are based purely on the textbook, question are kinda tough if you don't remember every detail, but he gives a generous curve.
TO be totally honest, I never payed attention in his class. He's kind of boring but he's very straight forward about what will be on the exam. Only a midterm and the final and a group project. Gives really good reviews for the exams, but you need to make sure you understand the topic cause his questions can be a little tricky. Very easy to get an A
Best and easiest professor ever. His grading is so easy. Give a quiz for 10% where u can check ur answer before submitting. Also tells u exacly whats on the midterm and final. Take him, you learn and get an A. There is a 30 mins long presentation but its a fun presentation. You create ur own product and sell it.
Easy class and 1group project, taking his class will boost up your GPA.
Best CIS Professor you could ask for, really. A couple of online quizzes + 1 midterm + 1 final + 1 very important group project - homework + extra credit a very easy class to pass. Professor Schor is laid-back and funny and is available to help after class. He also gives comprehensive reviews for midterms and tests.
Great professor, if you are not a native speaker, he will explain words to you during exams. 1 EASY excel project, 2 midterm exams(make sure take notes on review day, he will go over important slices), and 1 final exam( make sure study the given back exam 1 and 2, will be very helpful). If did not do well on first 2 exams, he gave out curves.
