Great teacher! I have a hard time with computers & certainly never thought I'd be writing computer programs(I had to fulfill a requirement). Andy made it fun and easy to understand. One of my best classes!

Nice guy, good teacher, lets you ask questions when you are totally confused on stuff. Let me reschedule taking 2 of his exams, just overall nice guy. Class isn't HARD persay, its just different if you are not a CS person, but Andy is very helpful. I would recommend him to anyone. =)

I dont get how anybody could not love this class. Romanyshyns awesome. i learned a ton from his class and his lectures were easy to follow.
He's totally a good instructor. You can get an A in his class even if you mess up a little bit, just make sure that when you hand in the programs you make, they work. There, you have an A. He'll help you if you have a problem, and he gives the class credit for an exam questions if most everybody missed it. Unless the answer was just OBVIOUS.
Great teacher, very helpful. If you have a problem he will help you get it right.
Not the most intelligent teacher but he's ok for teaching the very basic classes. I must say his method of grading students needs work and he's not very professional either.
I enjoyed his class. It wasn't super hard but when you have questions he is there to answer them.
Romanyshn was an extremely awesome instructor! I would not want to take this classes from anyone else and I really wished he taught other classes. The class it self has to go really fast and you have a lot of information thrown at you but it is not bad. Romanyshyn was WONDERFUL at helping people and really cared about his students!...I give this pr
Andy is a great teacher, very helpful if you have a question. He lets you complete your work with extra time if you need it. I think he is one of the better teachers I've had.
Andy is a very patient & helpful teacher, enjoyed his class, he made it fun & interesting, a very good teacher.
Great at explaining concepts and terminology. Helpful, fair and a good sense humor. Interesting lectures on a potentially boring topic.
Andy is great professor! he is very clear in his lectures and what he expects from you during his class. I had some knowledge about computers before I started and now I know so much more. I recommend him to all.
He's a great teacher and will answer any question you have. His test are pretty easy, just study well because there's a lot of terms to remember. I would definitely take another class with him.
Never liked computer terminology, but if you ever willing to learn it easy, try to get in this class. Studying with this teacher is fun and interesting.
Andy made class fun. He has a positive attitude and wants his students to excel. Listen to his lectures and reviews for the tests. Enjoyed his sense of humor.
As an adult student, this was a great lead-in class back to school. Mr. Romanyshyn was a great encourager and was patient with us who were less than computer literate!
Some of the time Andy seemed unprepared and a little scattered. When a question was asked he always had to go searching for the answer and it was annoying because a lot of time was wasted sitting around waiting. Very dry and boring teacher.
The quizzes and tests are easy. The Lab portion really does help when completing the lab sets in textbook. Although, at times we would take tests and quizzes on the same day depending on how they fell on calendar. That needs revision. Not fair to have a test and quiz on the same day.
Andy is a wonderful instructor. He knows his stuff, and is very determined to help everyone succeed. He explains all assignments very clearly, and is always happy to answer any questions. I would definitely recommend him to everyone looking to take this course.
I knew the basics of word and excel going in to the class but I had little to no experience with power point, Access and publisher. It was a good class to take to make sure I have everything covered. I feel ready to pursue a variety of jobs that involve working with computers.
I have no complaints about the class. It was very well structured. The due dates were clear, the instructions were clear, the lessons were easy to follow. I wish every college class was like this.
Good Class
A very helpful class in learning the Microsoft Office programs. Definitely a class to stay current on homework-- easy to get overwhelmed if you fall too far behind. Important to be in class and use the lab time efficiently! Great and very helpful instructor!
The instructor did an excellent job of teaching and with support. Wish I could have him for every class.
The instructor was very nice but the class makes me a little sleepy.
The class seems fine, the lab one is not as bored as during the lecture.
Easy peazy.
Fun, easy and productive class.
Is very helpful, and will teach you what you need to know to pass, he also will work with you if you ask for help. Great teacher
A very good and friendly instructor. Open minded and always there to offer help :)
He is an amazing professor that is clear on what you need to do. Assignments take a long time to complete but are supper helpful for the exams.
Recommended for anyone that needs a intro to computer class
This is the best hands on classes I have taken so far at WCC. If you actually do the reading before coming to class than the lab portion of this class is fairly easy. Andy is very patient and is great at explaining things so you can understand. Like any teacher if you do good work you will earn a good grade. Great teacher.
MORE HELPFUL AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND
A great proffessor overall
Really a great instructor! The whole class had a great time. Andy was always ready to help, if the computers went belly up ( and they did regularly) he was understanding and extended deadlines and made sure IT knew what was going on.
I took CS101 from Andy and I have to say, wow! I thought that maybe I would like to have a career in the Computer Science field but was't too sure about it. But after taking this class, it is definitely a contender to be a future job. Andy was helpful and easy going. He helped me out with any question I had and was overall a great teacher.
I think Andy was a very good teacher. He is very helpful when you need it and is clear on everything he teaches us.
Amazing teacher
He really explained things well and made the subject matter interesting while also educational. There were times when I had trouble with some parts or would forget things, but I didn't feel upset about it at all and the workload was at just the right level I think, where I was learning at a good pace and not getting completely overwhelmed.
Really good teacher. I would recommend to others who want to take this class! Has interesting lectures and does it well.
Great class and very useful!
Andy is a really nice teacher and very clear. The class is difficult but if you study hard you can get an A. He really works with students and is open to any questions you might have. I'd recommend Andy as a teacher to anyone, but don't take his class if you're not planning on learning a lot and working hard.
Good Information
Good class and teacher
I was new to most of the entire class list of topics. For a 3 credit class there seemed to be a lot of assignments and tests. Not much time to get to know the information to do well enough on the multi choice tests. The hands on part sometimes seemed to go a bit smoother.
Andy is a great teacher. He is very clear, and he is always willing to work with students if they need help or extra time for an assignment. BIS 101 is an easy class as long as you show up and do the homework. There is a good deal of homework, but if you show up to class and ask questions it's an easy class to get an A in.
This was a really helpful class! I didn't know anything about the majority of the things we covered so it's nice to know how to use things and easy keyboard shortcuts! Your review lectures also really helped me understand the material better, so the kids that ditched missed out! Have a nice summer :)
Gives plenty of lab time to work on assignments. I would have liked it if he did more in class demos rather than all lecture for the first hour or so. Other than that he was a great instructor!
Expectations are clear from the start on how to be successful. Lecturesfairly short & concise. Ample lab time provided for assignment completion. I used VM Ware on my laptop to connect remotely to the server to turn in work from home. I wish the book material was more integrated into class lectures in way of demonstration. Otherwise, good class.
The teacher was so good at, well, teaching, that the class felt fun and easy but at the same time like we were learning a lot! I felt really smart in a way that I haven't for a long time, and I think a great teacher is one who can inspire that in his or her students.
This class was definitly a challenge for me as I had never done html before, but the instructor was more than helpful, and actually made it as fun as this subject can be, in my opinion. Expect to work hard, but you will learn alot by taking this class. Good instructor & great personality. Thanks Andy! :)
Andy is an awesome teacher, very helpful and understanding. This particular class was very easy for me since it was just an introduction to microsoft office, stuff I've been doing for years, but Andy was always willing to explain everything through and make sure everyone understood what needed to be done and how to do it. Would definitely recommend
Great teacher! If you like compsci you'll be fine.
Andy really helped me out a lot in this class. He's mentions all the time that you can bug him to ask a question or if you need help with something. you really need to do the homework if you want to pass because of the nature of HTML and CSS.
A very helpful instructor. Really responsive to emails and questions, and gives you plenty of opportunity to do well in the class. I would definitely recommend him if you need to take any BIS classes.
Romanyshyn was a very good teacher. He explained the material in a way that made sense to students with all levels of prior knowledge. He was kind, helpful, funny, sincere, and very understanding. The class was not difficult. I found myself using the skills I learned for work in my other classes. He talks so fast, though, that my ears get tired.
While I got sleepy during the lecture portion of class, the details explained did wonders for any sort of hiccups I was having with the lesson. I'm glad I got the chance to learn the latest version of Works with a teacher that's straight-forward about the assignments and expectations. Stay on top of the assignments and you'll be fine in class.
This instructor is rather entertaining and explains the concepts really well. He knows what he is talking about. Would take again
Awesome prof. Very helpful during class time and knows his stuff.
He's a great professor, very helpful, explains things well, and loves to interact with his students. It was a super fun class! Overall, he was an awesome instructor!
He is good natured, good at explanations, and very helpful. I strongly recommend him as CIS100 teacher.
Really chilled vibe, attendance was not compulsory as most of the quizzes and homework was online - however he did have pop quizzes every now and then that sometimes related to a subject he mentioned in class. I missed a lot of the classes and still managed to get an A in the class. Nice guy too, extended a quiz for me when I was sick!
Mr Romanyshyn is a wonderful teacher. He thoroughly explains topics and his ability to communicate with students is excellent. Overall he is an intelligent, motivated, and jolly guy.
This class was easy for me because I had a vast amount of background knowledge on the subject anyway. I like this professor and I hope to have him again for another class in the future.
I came into this course with a fair amount of background knowledge of the subject, so it was fairly easy for me. That being said, I definitely learned more than I expected I would. Professor Romanyshyn is an excellent lecturer and gives good feedback on assignments. CIS100 is a great intro to the field of computer science given by a great teacher.
Honestly, Andy is a super friendly guy that really loves computers. I learned a lot coming into his class with just a few basic terminology of computers. Class isn't so bad. Lab days were my favorite because I was able to get all my homework done and do other homework if I decided to stay. It's an easy class if you skim the textbook. I recommend!
Andy is a great Professor. His lectures were always done with a powerpoint and would give you the material you needed to know for your assignments. There was no grade for attendance so if you felt confident in the material you weren't required to come to class which was nice for me and i believe he cares about his students success
I like the fact that attendance isn't mandatory. The book was very up to date which I loved. Huge bonus. Fun challenging labs. I think this class would be a little hard for a complete beginner but I have a little computer knowledge, though outdated, and I still found it challenging and learned allot. Its a great class for novice to intermediate
I had an awesome time in this class. I knew quite a bit about computers, but was able to learn more.
Best teacher and best class
Lot's of quizzes and exams as well as assignments., But not over the top hard, as long as you read the material you'll do just fine. The professor answers questions right away and explains everything very clearly!
Mr. Romanyshyn is a wonderful teacher. The work is super easy, if you fail this class it is your own fault. He explained everything clearly, allowed time for questions, and answered every question without a problem. I love the fact that he allowed you to stay after class to complete assignments. I absolutely loved this class!!
I was not a fan at all of that very heavy and cumbersome book.
He is an awesome teacher, helps a lot and explains content
Good professor, you can feel yourself learning throughout the class, but without an over saturation of unnecessary work. Gives good, complete answers to any questions one may have.
Simple class, easy going professor. If you do the quizzes and show up for tests you'll get an easy A
You did good.
Good teacher, answers questions well
Great Professor! You can tell he does really care about the success of his students.
Great teacher, very helpful and interesting
Andy would go out of his way to help when extra help was needed for some students.
Great class. Would recommend that everyone takes it because the information in it is very valuable
Andy is a funny guy, very helpful when needed. His lectures corresponded with and went beyond the textbook. I missed a deadline for some quizes, and when I asked him if I could make them up, he let me because I was in class every day. Fun guy to talk to.
Really fun and helpful class. Had a great time and Andy is a wonderful teacher. He has great passion for what he does and it shows every lecture in class. Would highly recommend taking this intro computer course.
The class was very informative, Andy made learning fun and is an awesome speech giver! He really understands the material and tries his hardest to ensure your success.
Andy is the real mvp.
Do the labs and you'll pass the exams no problem!
Great Instructor! He really cares about his students and goes above and beyond for them. You won't regret taking a class from Andy! P.S. As long as you read the textbook and understand the concepts, you'll pass the exams and class. Pop quizzes are usually attendance based so show up!
Great Instructor! He really cares about his students and goes above and beyond for them. You won't regret taking a class from Andy! P.S. As long as you read the textbook and understand the concepts, you'll pass the exams and class.
Andy is one of the coolest professors I've had so far. His class isn't very difficult. All you have to do is check canvas somewhat regularly for updates on assignments and put in some effort. Don't cheat or you're done. I barely opened my book, because his lectures are excellent. Plus slides are available on canvas. Very clear expectations.
He's the man. cool dude!
Solid teacher just keep up on the assignments.
Clear expectations and good instructions on assignments. A good general overview of basic material to get you started!
Andy is a great guy and his class is super practical for life.
I really enjoyed this class. My instructor was very helpful and understanding of my questions
Andy was a super cool guy and made the class very fun to attend
Fantastic instructor.
Tests are a lot to learn but overall, funny and cheerful instructor!
Very helpful teacher especially with students who don't have a clue about computers and English is their second language. It was really clear about grading. Gave us reminders about due dates. Really helpful with answering questions, explaining the lessons and helping one on one. Made the class easy and fun.
Andy is just an all around awesome guy, I took two courses from him this quarter and had a great time, he was flexible with scheduling and easy to listen to.
Have taken two class from Andy. It's an easy A class if you attend his classes and to all assignments and homework on time
Great Instructor!!
Andy is great! Lectures are short to average but not boring. He is clear in his presentation and grading. During work time he is very accessible and helps you figure out the answer. He is very patient and kind. He has a great sense of humor as well and creates an enjoyable classroom experience. Though a bit slow to grade assignments.
Good professor, gives good lectures, and is funny.
I really enjoyed the class. He was very informative and had a way with explaining the applications in a way that made it less intimidating.
He new is material very well and also gave students the opportunity to ask questions, give input on the topic, or even share their experiences with the topic! The lectures, textbook readings and quizzes were a bit tough at times, but they really get you prepared for the exams, so that was very helpful. I enjoyed this class and working with Andy!
I really enjoyed his lecture style and use of humor. The stress level in class was minimal. I feel I gained a fairly good grasp of Microsoft Office Suit, something that was mystery before I took the class.
He is a flexible and helpful professional.
The class got off to a very fast start as far as the lab assignments from the text book. It was a little confusing to have quizzes on material that was assigned for that same week (or day). There could have been a bit more instruction in the beginning to get acquainted with how the text was going to work with the lab assignments. Thanks Andy!
You lecture for 4 of the 5 class days and the other day is used for Lab time. This is where you produce a working program that runs once finished. The visual basic book is a must have in this class because you work directly from it. The other book is not as important but he doe's test from it too. He wants you to succeed in his class.
As long as you keep up with assignments, you'll be completely fine. Pretty easy class, access is challenging so make sure you get ahead of the game early in the quarter.
Funny fantastic professional. Great great teacher
Great teacher, would take again. The only thing I didnt like is sometimes hed talk too fast or answer questions really fast, but theres a lot of immaterial to go over in the lectures so its understandable.
Only early morning class I've ever looked forward to. I learned so much valuable knowledge and had fun along the way. All computer work so get ready for that. I'm so glad I had this prof. He is awesome, helpful, and very kind. Be ready to listen to short and sweet lectures, take notes, and you'll breeze through the online work.
I enjoyed this class! I felt that this class is one of the few classes where i actually learned a thing or two, he is such a nice instructor, he was patient and understanding. I would recommend his classes for sure! Work load is not that heavy as he gives us time to finish it.
He is a helpful when I didn't understand the work and enjoyed the class. I learned a couple of new things that I didn't know about from the class.
Easy class. He is very respectful and helpful. Gives a lot of information and helps you understand topics better. Is a fair grader, grades based on effort and not accuracy. Quizzes at the end of every chapter but very easy.
I enjoyed his class, it was fun. The labs were fun to do, they weren't boring. Definitely recommend taking this class.
Always available for questions and flexible with late homework when I got sick. Provided study guides for midterm and final which helped a lot. You can tell he cares about his students and their success in the classroom. great instructor!
I loved his class, it was nice having the ability to learn about the current world of the internet and the many things that the computer world has changed over the years.
Good professor, taught very well.
Andrew creates a productive learning environment encouraging students success. His teaching methods are organized and approachable. The class engaged in Mindtap virtual computer system labs and his technical support was readily available. I would highly recommend attending any of Andy's classes. The course content is challenging and rewarding.
The prof. was very quick about responding to messages and was lenient when the online code grader didn't accurately grade assignments. The prof. also posted a lot of useful videos and instructions on some of the more confusing aspects of the online lessons/assignments.
Good class but a project outside of cengage would add a lot I think.
Mr. Romanyshyn is a fantastic teacher who clearly cares about his students.
A very hands off approach with effective coarse material.
Andy's class was great. I definitely learned a lot and it was a great introduction to the subject. Andy has a great attitude where you're getting hit with a lot of information but it doesn't feel stressful or unmanageable.
While there was a lot of reading to do (which is just the nature of CIS105), the teacher was friendly and helpful and gave good information in the lectures. Lectures were a little fast paced sometime, but again that's just the nature of CIS105...lots of information you need to learn. Good teacher and all in all I enjoyed his class!
Your whole grade seems based off of how well you do the homework, which is videos/quizzes from a third-party site. They are all genuinely impossible to fail, so you're guaranteed a good grade (even if you got c's on midterm + final as i did). He also canceled both tests last-minute and gave no notice until several days after.
Andrew was great all quarter and the assignments/material were easy to access. The course itself requires close attention and effort if you want to ace it but he does a great job answering questions and providing feedback.
Andy is a great teacher, very approachable. He is funny so it makes them enjoyable. He is a really nice guy. He gives great reviews to use for the midterms and finals USE them. If you have a chance to take his class I highly recommend it!
Andy is a great teacher and a really nice person. He very approachable. He is quick to respond to any questions that you might have. He gives a great review for the mid term and the finals(USE THEM). If you have a chance to take a class with him I highly recommend you do.
Mid-term was harder than the final! Flash cards are very helpful, and a very comprehensive note sheet (front and back) are allowed for exams which in my opinion is MANDATORY. I didn't go to many lectures, but they were available on canvas to see, I think getting an A in this class is totally possible.
Just stay on top of work, and it should be fine, but if you need extensions, the teacher will give them as long as you give ample heads-up notice. Flash cards are also a smart idea for this class.
I enjoyed this class. I would recommend it to anyone who has an interest in computers.
No feedback offered.
My professor demonstrated a deep understanding of the subject matter and conveyed it in a clear and engaging manner, The teaching methods employed by my professor were highly effective, catering to various learning styles and keeping the class actively engaged. Overall, I highly recommend Mr. Andrew Romanyshyn to other students.
Andy was a very good Computer Science teacher. On the Quizzes on Cengage I got a 80% or more. My overall grade was not the best. Whenever I needed help with an assignment loading, he would help me out. If I didn't understand a question he would help me out. I will not be moving on to 106. Andy was a very helpful professor.
Andy is awesome. He gave clear grading criteria and didn't have attendance requirements.
Andy was a great professor - very knowledgeable and approachable. The class had clear grading criteria, though attendance was mandatory. Flashcards and the review materials were essential for success. Unstuck AI was also a big help for studying.
He was able to explain the content of the lectures clearly He does a PowerPoint w/ videos and him explaining topics
Professor Romanyshyn is a great instructor, he's very approachable and friendly and his lectures are clear and concise
he good professional
Clear instructions, offers help when asked. Not too difficult of a class if you're already familiar with computers, I highly suggest obtaining the CS101 Cengage textbook from a different source and quickly finishing all the Cengage assignments while you have temporary free access to save money.
Good balance of lab/practical work and didactic/lecture material. Coming to the in-person lab portion of the class (hybrid arrangement) was very helpful especially if you do not have a computer capable of running virtual basic. Professor was very accommodating of student schedules and needs. If you have some conflict, just talk with him!
Super friendly professor, had no problem talking to him and his lectures were short and direct, did not waste any of my time. Would take again!
Very good professor, he will patiently answer any questions that students have about their homework.
Andrew Romanyshyn is a fantastic professor who makes CIS easy to understand. His lessons are clear, well-organized, and full of helpful examples. He genuinely gives great lessons. If you're starting out in CS, his class is the perfect foundation to build knowledge and skills.
