Professor Salmon is an excellent instructor who is very lenient and understanding. He explains in great detail so you can actually learn even in some of the advanced courses and he also gives you multiple attempts for the exams, midterm, and final. Don't be afraid to ask questions about any material covered.

Great professor! He always makes sure you understand the topic at hand before moving on. He makes it clear that he is available any time you need him--he even gives out his cell number. Be prepared to come to class-if you don't, you will miss out on a lot of information. You might even miss out on pizza! I highly recommend this professor!

beyond a shadow of a doubt, Arthur Salmon is an exceptional professor. he teaches practical knowledge and prepares you for the Network+ certification. he's easy to follow, and is always available should you need assistance. he doesn't assign that much work, and the work he does assign always relates to the material covered in class.

The best professor in the CIT department of CSN. Prof. Salmon's lectures are a must, even if its not mandatory. He also has great content on his online channel which I still am using after graduating . I used his N+ slides as a secondary reference & it helped me pass my N+ exam. I got him for my Software+, and CSCO classes; best decision I've made.

Professor Salmon is very knowledgeable in his field. I've taken him for Network+ and Security+ and these classes can be difficult but in the end it really matters how much work and dedication you are willing to put in. He will make it easier for you as much as possible. You will need to review and actually do the labs, watch his videos.

Arthur is an easy going but serious professor. Get ready to learn real life application because he draws a lot from his own experiences and stays current with events and how apply to the cyber security industry. Flexible with homework, but missed assignments have to be made with a lab or challenge. Take lectures seriously, be a mature adult.

He's an amazing professor to have. If you need any help at all he's always an e-mail or text message away. Granted, he has a couple of flaws: 1)He can get sidetracked during his lectures. 2) He doesn't stick to a set schedule. So, if you're the kind of student that doesn't do well studying at your own pace then you will feel cheated. Great teacher

Mr. Salmon is great! I had to message him a few times about updating my grades on my labs from uCertify (which we used instead of textbooks) but he replied within at least a day or so of me sending them and said he'd figure it out. I've gotten A's on everything, and he has written positive comments on many of my discussion posts and projects.

Through my time at CSN Arthur was my professor for 2 classes. He has his classes setup well he teaches the same class at several colleges/universities. He is quite busy and can be hard to reach. He always answers back but he is a troll. I'm not sure if this is intentional or his personality. His responses can be cryptic and need deciphering.
