Average teacher, he made certain aspects of the class entertaining. The project sucked but that was because my group sucked. tests are easy. always got out of class early and covered everything. He never canceled classes which was nice. overall decent teacher I will take him again.

Professor Green teaches this class with a lean towards security which is why I recommend him for any ISA majors who are taking this class as an elective. He does take an interest in reinforcing real world business skills(business writing and speaking)and does not tolerate 1/2 assed work. His lectures were engaging and interesting.

Mr. Green knows his stuff and doesn't mess around. Come prepared for class and don't even think about being late with assignments! He has practical experience in web development and was able to help me understand the business concepts I need to think about when I design websites. I'd take him again for any class.

This guy was a great instructor! He's been in the industry for years, and talked frequently about his experiences with clients. This helped me tie together the theory with the reality. Green was available during his office hours, answered emails promptly, and gave me straight answers. One word of warning - have your act together and get your

People on this site continue to insist upon rating the professor's personality. I'll be the first to admit, it's a difficult one. But that's not what we're here to do. As a teacher he is knowledgeable with industry relevant experience. He might be an acquired taste, but as far as competency and ability goes, he is perfectly able.

I took him for two classes this semester. Both classes he did the exact same crap. I could go to one class and skip the other for that week. He read his lectures word for word from powerpoints, at times he didn't seem to know anything about the material, and sometimes he did. If you do the assignments & study a bit, you'll get through fine.

Professor green is a really good person and most of the time is easy to talk to. He does seem sarcastic and intimidating if you don't know much about it, BUT if you talk to him, he'll give you advice on how to gain an edge. He did randomly give us pop quizzes though; not in the syllabus and our final was 61 questions, nonmulti choice & only 40 mins

Green is a good professor with real world experience. He is strict and does not review for his midterm and final but this will make you a better student. He is not the easiest professor but he is funny and makes his class enjoyable. He grades things quickly(I knew my final grade the next day after my final) and he emails quickly as well.

Green is a fabulous professor he should probably let his class go home early tonight

I would agree with the others that Andy does tend to be a little arrogant and cocky at times, but at the same time, he's extremely knowledgeable about information security. You will learn a lot from this guy (over 12 years in the field). His test are not easy. Do the work and pay attention to him in class. If he talks about it, it's on the exam!

Not sure why Andy Green has so many bad reviews. I think it is because you either love this guy or you hate this guy. I personally enjoyed Andy Green and his awful sense of humor (sorry Andy) and loved his style of teaching. He is blunt and strait forward. HW is very easy as well as weekly quizzes. He is an Alabama fan so that does explain a lot.

He's making us build servers from scratch, write reports and talk about it in from of the class. If you want to learn how to protect servers, this is definitely the class to take! Green knows his stuff, doesn't hesitate to question us in front of everybody to be sure we know what we're doing. Great, but scary class!

To be honest I am not sure why Green has so many bad reviews? Straight forward to the point, do the work and you'll do fine. Welcome to College. I guess I am one of the few who thinks his sense of humor is actually pretty damn good. Don't let the other reviews scare you away.

Green is honestly a great instructor. Very clear cut and straightforward class. Interesting material. He just has an abrasive sense of humor, which I find funny, but I can see where some people would get offended.

I had him for two classes this semester. Before even meeting him I had heard a lot about how terrible he was, personally I do not agree. Yes, he is cocky and refuses to be wrong. However, he will do whatever he can to help you understand the material if you come to him about it. Show up to class, participate, do the HW, study for the tests,simple

Took him this summer. Yes, he is sarcastic, but you will have a boss like this eventually, I promise. I took great notes, turned in my assignments on time and with thought and got an A. Do your stuff and the grade will follow.

This is a tough, but good class. If you apply yourself and do what Green asks you to do, you will do well in the course.

Professor Green taught this class in his usual no-noncence way. Lots of good, real-world discussions in class, which he encouraged a lot. Get your firewall rules right, as he doesn't mess around at all on grading those things! He's gruff but everybody knows he wants us all to do well!

I don't understand why people are complaining about Professor Green. You come to class, do the work, show you care about the material, you'll do well. Don't expect him to spoon-feed you, because it's not gonna happen. As he says, "welcome to college"

Truth is this: Green is hardcore. His approach is old-school. He is the gatekeeper. The bottom line is that he only cares about the final result. Everything else is of no interest. Conform, and embrace his expectations. Check your ego at the door, put in maximum effort, and demonstrate you're not just trying to "get a degree", he will reward you.

Don't plagiarize you will get caught, don't change his templates and show up to class to learn. Best class for preparation for real world and getting ready for technical job interviews after graduating. Everything he teaches there is a reason for it even though you might not realize it until you are sitting in front of a potential employer.

I graduated almost 2 years ago. I didn't realize how valuable this course was until I got out in the work force. I complained at the time, but I'm glad now that Green teaches it exactly the way he does. No other course like it in the program!

Straight forward and fair professor. Encourages students to resolve technical issues similar to how they should deal with them in the workforce. Most of the students taking this class will probably work in IT and should expect a similar no nonsense attitude at times from the clients they will service.

Best class in the ISA program, with Mattord's 4810 class a close second.

This was the toughest class I've taken at KSU. Green doesn't mess around, and is very honest with his feedback. He's direct, and that bothers some people. However, if you're going to work in infosec you'd better get used to it.

Green did a good job with the pen testing course. He focused on testing methodology at first, which was kinda slow and boring, but important. He also walked us through how to compromise boxes in different ways. Good intro course into pen testing, it did what I expected and Green definitely knows his stuff.

Professor Green does a good job of teaching this hands-on course. We focused a lot on building up a software firewall, and he talked a lot about the practical realities of over-reliance on firewalls in general. Great course, great teacher!

Professor Green treats this class as a research-focused, "show me what you know" type of thing. This class was tough, a lot of work, but I learned more about how to do research in this class, than I have in any other. It's very tough, but worth it!

Green knows firewalls, and does a great job of talking about the business-related aspects that are important for future security professionals to consider. I love his classes, but he doesn't mess around. Come prepared to talk and learn, not just sit there. You show an interest, he'll do everything he can to help you succeed!

ISA 4220 was the hardest class I've taken in the ISA degree, but it was worth it. Being forced to do research and presentations really helped me with my internship interview and ultimately getting the position. Green's a hard case, but he's fair, consistent, and treats us like we're employees, which I think will really help us after graduation.

Professor Green is one of my favorite professors at KSU. He is a truly outstanding professor, and I appreciate his insight and acute knowledge regarding the field of Information Security and Assurance. He treats his students as respectable adults with the capability of finding the answer to their questions. Work hard, and you will do well.

Green's ISA 4220 class is the toughest class I've taken at KSU, but also the most rewarding.

ISA4220 is one of the more difficult classes that I have taken in my college experience. Be prepared for a demanding weekly workload. This class will prepare you for job interviews and give you the experience needed to effectively work in groups and with topics that you don't yet understand. Improved my research abilities; take iniative.

I don't get people who complain about Green. We're in a tough major, with demanding professors. Green sets a standard, is clear about his expectations, and helps us meet it. He doesn't hold our hands, and he shouldn't have to.

You can always tell when the semester ends, because bitter students "take their revenge" here. I earned my grade in Green's class, and I'm proud of it. He knows what he's talking about, regardless of what others write to the contrary. Tough class, but you will learn, which I thought was the entire point?

I got my first exposure to Linux systems in this class. Green was prompt with grades, and was always available on discussion boards and email. This was an online course, btw.

Green teaches 3210, 4200 and 4220. He does not cut corners and does not take late work. FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. Do your assignments well before the due date. Name your file correctly. The work is hands-on, technical work but also very rewarding and after the semester you can say you actually learned something which translates to skills on a resume.

You will be pushed beyond what you thought your limits were. You will experience mental stress and fatigue like you never have before. You will laugh at what you once considered difficult. And you will come out the other side a more intelligent, humble, and patient person than you once were. Every second is torture. You will not regret it.

Professor Green does a great job with this course. I don't understand why some people want to complain about him. He wants us to be ready for the workplace, and treats us like adults by setting expectations for us to meet. The ISA degree program is much better because of what he does, and how he does it.

I've taken professor Green for ISA4220 and ISA4200. I've got to admit, this was far the hardest classes I've taken. For System Sec II ,it's like a masters level teaching style. You have to build Linux/Windows servers and test its vulnerability. You have to write reports and also present on YouTube. Ask questions. don't wait till last min. ma

Start early. Ask questions. Take part in the weekly qa sessions. Do the work. DO NOT WAIT TILL LAST MINUTE. Work is manageable, as long as you put time into it. He cares about the effort you put in. He IS a SME in cybersecurity. Take him, you will learn a lot. May hate yourself at the moment, but will come out a lot smarter in the field.

I am currently taking ISA 4200 and have nothing but good things to say about this course. I'm both working and in school full-time, and Green I've got no complaints about how Green teaches. I ask questions, he responds in a way that guides me to the answer so that I learn something. What more could you ask for?

Green is the best professor the ISA program has. This class has been tough, but I learned more from this one course than any other course and professor in the ISA department. Those of you who complain about him simply don't like being treated like professional adults. He doesn't hold our hands, just like the workplace will treat us.

I took 3 classes with Prof. Green. He expects a lot from his students. They werent easy. He encourages students to learn on their own and provides solid guidance on doing so. He prepares you for positions in the real world. Listen to his advice. Ask him questions directly. Dont make assumptions. Dont be afraid.

I don't understand some folks who post lies here. Green is available via email, discussion boards, has weekly online Q&A sessions, and even on Microsoft Teams. He also posts weekly comments with feedback on homework assignments. I'd gladly take Green again, for any course in the degree program.

Professor Green did a good job with this course. He answered my emails, graded everything quickly, and made the course easy to follow. I'm looking forward to taking classes with him in the future.

Green knows his stuff, and wants us to be ready when we graduate. Some of my fellow students complain, but he's not here to baby us or cater to us. He's here to teach, and we're here to learn. If you didn't do well in this class, it's because you want it all just handed to you without doing the work.

Green is certainly one of the tougher professors youll take at KSU but he definitely knows how to teach InfoSec in unorthodox ways. His classes, although challenging, will ensure you understand the curriculum well and not just enough to get a degree. Take him and your future infosec internship and job interviews/work will be MUCH less daunting

You get out what you put in. At this point in the degree you need to be prepared for the professor to tell you you're wrong and it's up to you to take it on the chin and fix it. Read the instructions 3 times and communicate with your team. He can smell fear, so make eye contact and answer questions. Know the material and you'll be fine.

I don't understand the bad reviews. The class had a lot of work during the summer, but I worked full-time while taking this class and faced no issues. If you don't get ahead in the first week, you're definitely going to stress yourself out. Four or five time-consuming assignments are due every week. No webcam or lockdown for his quizzes and exams.

I do not know why he has a low rating. I guess they want to get treated as junior high school students. If you really want to learn about Information Security take him. He can be a good resource for you even after you finish your class.
