This teacher was great. He was very clear about what he expected in class and always gave positive and constructive feedback to any questions or assignments posted. I would take another class with this teacher and recomend it to anyone considering Business 101.
Assigned work that required thinking, but not too much at a time. Always provided helpful comments and seemed to enjoy teaching the class. My favorite college teacher so far!
Took Computer Science 101 online. 1 10 question quiz a week and either a lab or assignment. 1 midterm and final. Get the book online so you can search through it, it will help for the tests. He will answer any questions that you have and is very helpful. He is on multiple times a day too. Some of the lab and test questions are ambiguous.
Art was an amazing teacher! I took his business 101 class. He made business sound interesting and really brought the subject to life. All you have to is turn in all the assignements correctly and you would pass.
I don't know what more can you hope for .....but Mr. Art Grades stuff 99% on time, provides feed back in-depth to explain everything u need to know, encourages students to speak up ....I am so amazed to the fact that I have taken this teacher, probably one of the best choices I have made in my campus life...GO FOR IT BEFORE IT'S FULL!!
Excellent instructor, works hard at having you learn the material. Great lively online discussion!
Class was online. If I had any questions got back to me very quick. If you keep on track the class is very simple and you do get something out of it
Excellent online professor. Very quick to respond to questions. Course is very well laid out and detailed for no confusion. Very positive; enthusiastic attitude.
Great online teaching style. He gives great feedback and keeps the class well paced. I enjoyed his class!
I enjoyed this class. Art is a great instructor, and I like his teaching style.
Great instruction! I couldn't have asked for a better or more experienced professor!
Awesome instructor and always more than willing to assist. Art has a very positive attitude. Great Class and Great instructor.
took online-awesome teacher! Read the syllabus and follow it. Do weekly discussions and 3 critical thinking papers. There is one 5-7 page single spaced research paper and a mid-term and final. Answers questions immediately.
he wants to help you succeed! Nice guy, the best professor I have ever had!!!! Will be taking all of his classes no questions asked!!! Once again I'd like to through out there that he cares about his students!!!!
So helpful to my career. Best online class I have taken and I am really sad it is over. Art cares so much and always responds to questions, assignments, challenges you and offers suggestions. By far the best class I have taken and the most interactive professor of my college career. I am going to miss this class (don't say that too often)...
Very positive personality , answered questions in a timely manner.
Expectations were incredibly easy to understand, which is not usually the case with online classes. Minimal amount of work. Easy quizzes. Incredible amount of time for the final. As long as you do everything you will do well.
Online class. Straightforward - assignments are clear-cut, all test answers can be found in the textbook if you do your part. Fair teacher, very helpful, would recommend.
I took the Business 101 online. It is very straightforward. Quizzes are only hard if you didn't read the textbook. Read two chapters every week,post two discussion questions, one short article and one quiz per week. He answers questions quickly and grades fairly quickly. Also, one research paper at the end of class.
Nice teacher I recommended to every one who willing to take BUS 101. I took his class online. He's awesome.
Awesome class. No surprises. Very easy to get a good grade in this class. Teacher responds quickly to questions and makes his lectures interesting. Definitely recommend this class.
Great teacher! I have him for a online class and he is very clear about due dates, and assignments. Responds to emails very quickly and actually responds in discussions! GREAT TEACHER DEF RECCOMEND!
One of the easiest classes of taken, changed my opinion about online classes. The teacher is a very generous grader and very helpful.
Easy class. Teacher was easy to understand. Textbook was nice and assignments were comprehensible.
Great teacher. Class is outlined in the beginning very well, no surprises. Weekly discussions [2 posts, couple paragraphs each, respond to one student], quizzes [1 quiz, 10 questions - about this weeks chapter; weekly], 1 final. Also have weekly business articles and 3 1-2page papers for a business you choose. Easy and fun/simple class!!
I really enjoyed taking BusIT 209 with Mr. Lovestedt. Assignments were clear and interesting and if clarification was needed he cheerfully supplied it. I also appreciated his sense of humor.
Class is very well laid out. The book is required and you will be reading the chapters in order. He is very responsive and communicative throughout the class including responding to multiple discussion posts. There will be a quiz weekly, a summary of 6-7 business articles and 3 business reports, one big one (3-4 pgs) & two smaller ones (1-2 pgs)
Great teacher! One of my favorite business teachers and class I've taken so far.
Lovestedt made me love bus 101 online. He is organized and helpful and tells good stories, gives really good examples. I can't emphasize enough how much I enjoyed this class. TAKE IT!
I took CS101 online with Professor Lovestedt and was impressed with his level of interaction with the online class (surprisingly, this happens far less than it should!). He was VERY responsive, understanding and fair in reaction to all of my issues that came up. Take his class! You will learn a LOT in a fun environment.
Art is the best online teacher at Bellevue College. His expectations are clear, his classes are organized, and due dates are spread out so that students can use their time management to plan when to do homework and tests. He is very helpful and has a great sense of humor. I wish every online teacher followed his class model.Take all his classes!
Amazing Online Teacher! Very organized and explains everything in great detail and also provides really helpful powerpoints for the material. Also he tells you when assignments are due well ahead of time which gives you time to adjust into your schedule! I recommend this professor highly to everyone who is interested in Business.
Just as some of the other reviewers have stated, I honestly believe Art is the best online instructor at BC. There was no point during the entire quarter where I was even the least bit confused. Everything is routine (all deadlines are set for the same time/day each week) and are very organized. Thanks, Art!
I honestly thought this was going to be really boring and full of confusing information; but it wasn't bad! He is a really helpful teacher and the material was easy to comprehend. The quizzes are fairly easy and he gives you powerpoints, so I barely even opened my book, but still understood everything we learned. I really enjoyed this class :)
This class as instructed by Art Lovestedt is one of the best I?ve taken on-line so far. His instructions are easy to follow and very organized. I wish other instructors at this school have accomplished the knack to create simple and well-structured class instructions for students to follow.
Great teacher and great class. The final exam consists in 45 questions and 4 short essays of 300 words. The problem is that there are only 90 minutes to complete it online.
TAKE THIS CLASS! Weekly quizzes only 10 questions, multiple choice. Read 2 ch/week & 1 discussion question from each chapter that can easily be done without completing reading. Spent 2 hrs/week on this class & received an A+. 5 "essays", most of which can be done w/out any research & are based on personal experiences. Plus Art is a super cool guy!
Took the class online and i am very pleased. Class is very easy if you study and do your HW. Weekly discussion posts, and quizzes make up most your grade. He posts power point slides of each chapter, so you really don't need your book to know the material. It beats reading 50 pages. Take this class with Art!
Class outlined extremely well.
You'll learn and understand more by discussing with other students!
Very helpful and reasonable.
Extremely helpful and quick to respond to emails about questions.
Instructor was new to teaching this class this semester, yet he did an amazing job of communicating and helping students. Well done Mr. Lovestedt!
Art was new to our class. I was so impressed with his level of response, fairness,and clarity. I hope to have him again.
Took this class online. Easy A and you don't really need the book because he puts up powerpoints. His directions on Canvas are clear and organized and he responds to questions from students quick.
Very easy class. Art is a really understanding and nice teacher. He's not hard on grading and he is very helpful and answers all your questions. I wish he taught the 200 lvl CS classes, would definitely take him!
ART is a great professor. I took the online class, there is lots of readings and weekly assignments. However, He makes the class very interesting and he wants his students to succeed! Take him!!
He is very organized. I took the class online. Covered 20 chapters, weekly quizzes and a final. The quizzes could be challenging so I read the 2 chapters required 2 times each week for the quiz. He is very helpful. Take him if you have to take this class!
Great teacher, very well organized, and responds to emails quickly. He truly cares about his students. Lots of work in the class, but if you do it all and actually follow the steps, you will get an A.
Great teacher! I took the class online and thought Art was very helpful. His instructions were very clear and he was very quick to respond to any questions I had. I had very little interest in the subject before the class and he definitely did not make it more boring to me. Definitely recommend his class!
This instructor really knows how to conduct an online course. His feedback is encouraging and he has so much business experience that really lend to the course. The textbook was a typical one with a lot of definitions and so forth, but the discussions and assignments made it more interesting. He grades homework and responds to e-mails promptly.
Great professor, great man. Highly recommended to someone who wants to learn a lot of valuable and applicable things in business and marketing. Take Bus 101 and MKTG 154 with him both online.
Instructions were easy to follow, and Art was very helpful!
He is very helpful! responds to all emails and if you are late on a assignment you can talk to him about emailing your assignments. TAKE HIS CLASS!! each week you take 2 quizes and 2 assignment and one office lab.
Art was awesome. I learned a lot and everything was great.
The profesor is clear in his assignments, and supportive by relating the subject to the real world. It was a fun class and I learned a lot.
Art is an amazing teacher. He knows what he is talking about and loves it. He is involved in everyone's passing in the class. I HIGHLY recommend this class
Art Lovestedt is really great and patient. One of the most helpful Professors you can find
Excellent introductory class for computer science. Very well organized online structure. Art is timely and good at providing feedback.
I love this guy so much because he is very nice teacher at bellevue college. YOU SHOULD TAKE HIM .
Actually requires critical thinking, discussion, reporting, testing and a demonstration of knowledge. Doing the tasks prepares you for the nesxt levels.
Teacher was fast to respond to my emails and extremely helpful and understanding on special circumstances. Textbook use is really used throughout the quarter and you will learn a lot. As long as you do the labs and quizzes, you will be fine. Straight forward with everything.
Hes smart and gives good feedback. Just turn in your assignments on time and really read the chapters. Also, you only have 10 minutes to take the quizzes, so know what you're getting yourself into.
He is a great and helpful instructor
Art was an awesome and most helpful instructor! If you asked him for clarification on something, he would be very clear in explaining what we needed assistance with or what we did wrong in an assignment. Assessments were easy and the class in general, was easy but resourceful as I pursue my career. Take this class! I HIGHLY recommend to everybody!
Best teacher for those interested in computer science. I took CS101 with him online and his class is great. The layout of when assignments are due and are pretty straightforward. You don't have to be a techie to pass this class.
is very important andits very nice class.
Sweet and understanding guy, little bit of a complicated class but if u do the work you will be fine:)
10 questions for each chapter. 9 assignments. 4 key assignments. Follow his directions then you will be fine.
Art is very clear and precise in helping you to understand where your going wrong. I recommend reading every chapter and doing the assignments with the online course materials. It's not easy, but you will be fine if you put your head into it and research how and why. Art is one of the best teachers you will have. Don't be afraid to ask questions.
Quick replies when you need help.
Mr. Lovestedt is a great instructor. His approach to teaching is very interactive, he teaches by applying the concepts step by step to everyday problems. The only thing which could be improved are study quizzes. I felt like the questions for those were a little bit too detailed and sometimes ambiguous. Overall, great class!
The best Teacher ever
I took an online class by this professor and I am thrilled that I did. Entering the hard computer science field was easy with taking this class. There are a lot of labs and assignments, but everything that you will use in future work: MS Office Package, Paint, HTML,Java, debugging. Nothing hard as labs are explained in detail with screenshots.
I took this class only as a requirement for my accounting degree. Although I have no interest I business I did learn a lot of information that might be useful in the future.
The class is an easy A+. Short quizzes will only take less than 10 minutes to get it done. not a lot of Homework's and also really easy too.
Take the hybrid class and show up to class! Art is very helpful instructor and you will benefit by going to the class sessions.
I took the hybrid course for this class which meant meeting once a week at the school and doing assignments that were due each Saturday. The instructions were always clear and the teacher was friendly and easy to talk to. Take the Hybrid class and you won't regret it. 1010 teacher. Attendance is optional, but you should show up anyways.
He's nice person, grade easy.
The teacher is nice. But the quiz is so boring, always for theory.
I didn't meet him in person because I took the class online but he was very helpful and was a pretty easy grader. He had lots of personal experience to share along with what we were learning as well. The assignments didn't take up too much time and there was no final.
Would highly recommend this class if you have an interest in computer science. If you do the readings and abide by the deadlines you will do just fine. He wants to make sure you are comprehending the material, but there are never trick questions on the quizzes which I really appreciate as a student (hate when teachers do that).
TRUST ME! It's such a great class!!!!!!!! He is one of the best!!!!!!!!! Worth the time!!!!
This is one of the best professors that you could ever want. Very easy going, detailed oriented and truly wants his students to do well. I recommend this guy!
This class was very enjoyable. It was very different to the other classes I have taken with my medical background. It kept my attention and I wish there were more business classes in my major.
Art is a great instructor. I had him for this online class and he kept us ingaged but not overwhelmed. The work was interesting and the discussion good. I would take a class from him anytime.
Super clear on expectations and feedback he gives on graded assignments is worth reading!
Great Class to Get and Overview of Basic SQL and a copy of SSMS 2014!
Very organized online class, the class materials like Video lectures & PDF materials are straight forward and laid out by steps. The assignments get more difficult at the end, but the good feedbacks, resources and textbook provided are helpful. I would take this instructor again and would recommend this instructor to other students in the futures.
A helpful teacher, very understanding and flexible with everything. Great teacher
This was a well guided online course that had very helpful breakthroughs
Of all the online classes I've taken this is by far the most organized! Weekly quizzes (very straightforward) & weekly discussions & no final. Overall if you read the book and do the work its not hard! Would definitely recommend this professor!!
The directions were usually clear for assignments, none of the assignments were very difficult and there weren't too many assignments throughout the quarter. The only difficult part of the class were the quizzes, sometimes the answers were difficult to find in the powerpoints or the textbook.
amazing professor, would defiantly take more classes with him, he is very clear and easy to understand, if you study and do the homework its an easy A, I highly recommend him
I am taking BUS 120 online and love it. He is well prepared and organized. Recommend this to anyone.
I really recommend this professor for BUS 120. The amount of work and its difficulty were just right. Unlike other professors for online classes, he really reads our writing and provides good feedback. I learned a lot from this class.
Feedback is great. Lets you know how you can improve your score.
I enjoyed the workload, and the fact that each week had the same assignments and deadlines made it easy to work into my schedule, because I didn't have to check back every hour for an assignment that would be due. The only exception to this were the reflections. I would have enjoyed the assessment reflections more if it did not feel so repetitious.
I really enjoyed the subject material and the way that the professor encouraged discussion between students and also the discussion questions and videos included in the discussions. I also really enjoyed taking part in the personal assessments, as they gave me the opportunity to reflect on my own characteristics and personal life. Good course!
Professor is unclear on some of the ideas to the projects, but likes to deduct points because of their mistakes in being unclear. This class is the same nearly taught in BUSIT105 with very little differences. Software was not up to date with SQL Server on what they were teaching from. I would have expected more dashboards and other data sources.
good feedback. replies very fast. Caring about students
Good!
the class homework assignments should be updated so you can better understand how to navigate through power point, Access, and Excel.
He is a great professor! The class is very structured and easy to follow. No reason why you couldn't get an A in the class.
Great Professor, I took him online and he responds to messages like savage. The class was easy, all the quizzes are online but the Labs is where you have to actually put more effort. Overall easy money!
Provided feedback on assignments that helped improve understanding of the topic. Make sure you read and do assignments equally throughout the week, if you wait until the last minute it'll be difficult to submit everything on-time. If you are able to keep a decent schedule, it's easy to keep a high grade.
Good class!
Very enjoyable class. Got back to grading assignments quickly. Commented on my work to let me know how it was.
He has very clear expectations for his students, which are not too difficult to reach. When students show up to class, he makes sure that his students understand it by walking around the classroom and asking students if they are doing okay. On written assignments, he is sure to give respectful feedback that is both conversational and informational.
This class was very enjoyable, professor Lovestedt is a very cool and interesting guy. Class was not mandatory for the hybrid CS101 class but they were helpful. He gives us lots of time to do the quizzes or assignments are they are always due on saturday.
Good course, learned plenty!
Great teacher
Make sure you do well on the quizzes and labs because they make up a majority of your grade. Show up to class and he'll show you how to do some of the labs. Probably one of the easiest classes to get an A if you put in work.
Art's a really good professor that really cares about what he's teaching. This course is the best organized online course I've ever taken, and if you actual like Computer Science then everything in this course will be interesting and fun to learn.
The class was fairly easy, i didnt know how to do some of the assignments. Probably need to spend more time on it but whatever. Easily pass course for a lazy person like me! he's gives you opportunities to do it again as well
I'm so lucky to have Mr Lewis as my teacher. He was helpful and he have a easy accent to understand. hope to have him again in my next class.
Any issues i had the professor was accessible and gave good feed back. Wold definitely take any other class with him.
Great professor! When i had a question I received a reply immediate or within a few hours.
Great professor! I'm so lucky to have Mr. Lovestedt as my teacher. He is super friendly, respected and helpful.
Great professor.
1. I love this teacher 2. Total: 9 Assignments (20%), 7 Labs (20%), 4 Key Assignments (30%), 21 Quizzes (30%) 3. Replies super fast! 4. Gave me an opportunity to retry an assignment because I messed up 5. Great teacher! Should totally take him!! 6. Not sure of my grade yet... either A or A- but 95% is the A grade
Classes with him are always enjoyable.
Great professor. I took two online classes with him. He is very easy and simple to communicate with. Very understandable. Really tries to make sure the students pass (not like some teachers that would do anything for you to fail or drop your GPA).
I took this class online and the easiest course I ever had. Most of the assignments were just following steps in the textbook, so it's easy to get credits. However, I didn't learn much from this course.
lots of homework, but all quizzes are straight out of the book, he will help you if u need help..
Pretty boring class, you just have to do a few "follow the steps" projects where you don't need to think at all, he pretty much gives you the answers. There are also a bunch of quizzes, and homework assignments, but it's all super easy, it's just busy work. Didn't learn anything, wouldn't recommend taking this class unless you need an easy A.
The class was pretty much just busy work. Nothing interesting or challenging. Not a fan of his teaching style, but it's an easy-A as long as you follow the instructions and turn in the assignments.
he was great very difficult quiz questions but great
Not too hard of a class, a decent amount of work and quizzes.
The course is good and everything for me works perfectly. The teacher is wonderful, understandable, and flexible. Also syllabus is crystal clear. For online class 2 quizzes and 2 discussion per week, and 4 Assessment during the quarter.
Very well organized class. I liked the structure of it week by week. The topics were interesting and the videos each week were fun to watch.
Great class! All assignments/quizzes are laid out in a straightforward way. Quiz questions are sometimes a little tricky, but it's not bad overall. A lot of the assignments are easy, but you might struggle a bit for the coding exercises if you've never coded before (prof gives websites that helps you though, and there's a discussion board for Qs)
I took his class in last Winter quarter. This course is gonna be good for students who has no experience about any CS courses. It deals with really basic skills about a variety of subjects, such as MS office, Python, HTML and etc.
BUS 120 - Organizational Behavior was a great course to take. This class provided me with a great understanding and knowledge in a organizational business setting
Art's a great professor! His assignments are straightforward and as long as you do some reading and try to learn the content you'll be fine. You can ask questions and he will try to help as much as possible.
Everything is super straight-forward. Topic is not super hard to grasp. Online "Lecture" which are power points have everything you need to pass in this class. There is a lot of quizzes in this class but its all multiple choice and pretty easy. This is a low stress class.
Prof Lovestedt is super easy and nice. The homework is super straightforward and you have a good amount of time to get it done. He does not offer extra credit though but you probably won't need it anyway with such an easy homework load. Highly reccomend if you need a class you don't want to spend a lot of time on
I took an online summer course with this professor. We covered how to make a word document and how to open up excel for the first 2 weeks, and then decided we should cover python, javascript, xml, html in the last few weeks that we had. Didn't make sense as to why we couldn't use the first two weeks on coding.
Weekly hw and quiz due each Sat. He recommends not waiting last minute, but you can and get an A. Straight forward, make sure you read everything-details matter. Word/Excel easy-everyone knows. Python/Java/html had simple assignments, just read carefully. All readings are from free online websites-maybe waste of money?
Professor Lovestedt honestly didn't explain homework assignments at all. Especially for a 101 class, you should be explaining each module since it's literally a beginning course. The homework was TOUGH for a 101 class and if you don't have any experience with comp sci before taking this class, DON'T.
Lots of assignments always got back to me quickly when I had questions. Some assignments were really easy but others required reading the resources he provided closely and took some time. Never ended up needing to meet him during office hours even thogh he offered a microsoft teams meeting.
Work is due every Saturday. In short, you teach yourself everything in this class- a little ridiculous considering it's a 101 class... and all the readings he uses are from FREE websites online. No extra credit.
Professor Lovestedt gave the best feedback I've ever gotten from any teacher. He left small notes or corrections on most assignments and replied to emails extremely quickly. Would definitely recommend for anyone trying to learn the basics of the Microsoft applications and general coding.
Took this course last Fall, but learned a lot. Went through different ways to code such as CSS, HTML, Python, Javascript, XML, and Excel. Lots of homework and a weekly quiz, but is willing to answer questions. Fun course overall and should be able to get an A, provided that the lectures are paid attention to. Be able to obtain a laptop with Windows
Great professor. Instructions are super clear, and assignments are easy to understand and complete. Sometimes, quiz content was a little unclear, but overall was a great class.
Very lenient professor (if you email him before the assignments are due to request an extension), although a bit of a hard grader. Class was quite difficult for a 101 course. Modules are very elaborative and you'll learn alot in a short time. I would definitely take Professor Lovestedt again and I've also enjoyed beginner's coding.
If you are new to CS stay far away from this class. Art doesn't teach anything at all. Every single lesson is a guided tutorial or videos from various people on the internet. If you are already know how to use python and html then this class will be ez. The 3 star is based off the fact that the professor doesn't actually teach the material.
He's really nice, but half of the course is spent on Python and HTML, which was difficult. He leaves some tips but doesn't really teach anything. He expects you to teach yourself through tutorials found via other sources.
Mr. Lovestedt is an absolute legend. Even if I make the most stupid mistakes, he will always give the best helpful feedback and is very lenient. He is a very kind person and is quick to respond to Canvas emails and is online almost 24/7. He always provides helpful resources and encourages researching via the web. 5/5
Most of the instruction is via videos and documentation found on the internet, but the professor did an excellent job of curating materials for this class. If you are computer savvy, you'll probably find this class fairly easy so it's good to take with other heavier classes. Don't get behind though, as there are a lot of assignments.
Professor Lovestedt's CS101 covers a wide range of topics quickly. While the workload is hefty, the class is manageable with dedication. unstuckstudy and other online resources can provide helpful study tools to supplement the course.
This guy does not reply to your emails that much so not that good for interacting with.
Until and unless you follow the content and get through contexts and understanding of concepts you will easily be able to be successful in this class.
Workload is on the higher side, however most assignments are lenient on grading. You should have at least some understanding of CS theory once you start, but focus on completing all the assignments and work, apply your knowledge, and you should get a good grade.
