Great Professor. Easy going and very lenient about deadlines.
Great instructor. Great communication. Very helpful. I have no problems with this professor. All the homework is very easy, a little effort goes a long way. As long as you do most the work, you will get an A. He really goes out of his way to make sure you understand the materials. Daily open discussions. Fun class.
he is a good professor and very very knowlegeable
he is a good professor and very very knowlegeable and can communicate effectively
This professor needs to be kept around. His engaging style of teaching is very effective and keeps people interested. He is very knowledgeable in the subject and far beyond, which keeps more knowledgeable student engaged as well. It helps that he has an easy-going personality and knows how to segue quickly back from an off-topic non-sequiturs.+1
good class
did good just strayed off topic a little bit
He has good people skills and encourages class participation. He also answers all questions the best he can, or will find out the asnswer if he does not know it.
Great Instructor. Lectures are interesting. I would take a class from Arthur again.
I think Athur is an AWESOME teacher. If he notices that your struggling he will go out of his way to help you until you've understood. He also understands that you have a personal life and if you've fallen behind due to family issues or work he will work with you. Best teacher by far. Never thought I'd enjogoing tol until this class.
in my opinon i believe the professor is a great teacher. and i look forward to taking his software class this summer
He's a very good instructor, course is fairly easy as well.
With all the random talks about china (all based on software) among other things, definately kept me interested. Understandable, great humor and enjoyable, would definately take CIT 112 with this guy if he would teach it
This class allows you to get an A regardless of effort put into it. Fortunately, I also had the opportunity to learn as much as I wished from the course. This professor is actually very well informed on his subject. I was in a small class, and so if I needed help or if I had a question, he was able to help. Overall, he is my ideal professor.
The class was very straight forward and easy going.
Clearly very well-versed in this subject. Sometimes wanders from core subject in lectures, but is quite adept at re-centering discussion. Recommended.
I enjoyed my A+ guide to software class. I learned a lot and look foreward to my fall classes.
This class was great. I would recommend it to anyone. The Professor was very easy to talk to and approach.
-Arthur is great. Lesson and discussions are brilliant. -FYI: If you don't show up, you don't do your work. If you don't do your work, you fall behind. If you fall behind, you fail the class.
Arthur can be really offbeat, but after reading the material and listening to Arthur's lecture, I alwas do well on my exams. He is awesome at explaining course material and is labs are great for hands on learning of the reading material.
Great instructor. Helpful and patient. Makes the class interesting and simplifies the difficult curriculum. Make sure you show up and do the work and you will do find.
He can break down every topic with ease. You must do your reading and ask him questions pertaining to the chapter we are covering.
He is very engaging instructor. He made sure that everybody gets or understand the concepts of the topics.
I didn't know what to expect the first day, but this class was really interesting I learned a lot. I enjoyed this class.
great instruction
Easy going , very helpful and patient with students. Answers questions with no problems, labs are hands on, which is way better than just reading text books, also very good sense of humor.
Sometimes goes off topic, but a great professor.
A very humorous, helpful professor. Quite reasonable too!
Great teacher, obvious experience and can teach is students very well. Simplified questions on subjects we had difficulty with.
Explains subjects with patience and clarity. If you read the book, do the work and ask questions you will pass.
I have had this professor in A+ hardware and A+ software it's a very enjoyable class and he teaches very well. I would suggest going with him no complaints
he easy gonig theres no due dates on the work he will anwser any question on the subject and he class are fun to be in
AWESOME teacher. Even on the final he was always happy to look over your work and help you out. I took this class with another teacher before and failed -- with him I got an A+ and I feel I fully understand what was taught. Hope to see him teaching more classes!
The most knowledgeable and easy-going professor I have ever had!
Learned quite abit recommend to anyone
You will learn subnetting! He is an awesome professor. Recommended!
This teacher is great! i took this class just because i wanted to try new things and did not know what to expect. this teacher got me into networking and made me want to do this as a career! most of our class said that they failed before taking his class. now they understand 100%.
great teacher. explained everything well. definitly recommend.
Very good instructor and class.
Excellent teacher, made difficult items easier to understand.
Very helpful and interesting.
Extremely helpful! Almost guaranteed a good grade if you attend class and ask questions.
Great teacher
Great teacher. Always offers to help. He even gives you his personal cell phone number so you can text him if you ever need help with something.
Great Instructor, and very helpful. I have been in the IT industry for 15 years and finally learned to subnet from Arthur Salmon. THANK YOU
Arthur is able to help you understand a relatively complex subject, such as networking. I am very pleased with his teaching techniques, which helped me succeed in this course. I would take more courses from him.
Super easy class, you just have to attend. He will answer questions you have but will begin with trying to lead you to the answer.
very knowledgeable and always helpful and kind
This the 2nd time Ive taken this class. With the professors help it made so much more sense this time around. If your gonna take CSCO 120 take it with him. Theres no textbook, just attend class. If you miss class youll most likely be lost when you come back. Its a hard class, but if you put in the work, attend class, and ask questions youll do fine
Arthur is a great teacher if you need things explained he takes time to help make sure you learn what you need to know
If you take this instructor expect to attend class daily if not you may miss out on some of the labs. He offers to remake them at the end of the semester, this instructor is very laid back and enjoys talking with the students. Easy class but informative at the same time.
good teacher
He's a cool and understanding teacher, very helpful if you ask for help.
This class gives you the freedom to learn at your own pace. I learned a lot in this class and will retain all of the information I learned. The teacher knows his stuff you can ask him a certain question and I am sure he will have an answer for you.
Great teacher, very helpful and wants you to succeed in his class. Explains material very well and is actually working in the field and gives examples of the types of customer and the things that we will run into in the field.
Mr Salmon is very knowledgeable about the subject, which is very helpful. The real strength in his teaching is his ability to reach each individual student on their level. My understanding of the subject was less than most of the other students in the class, however Mr. Salmon happily took the time to catch me up to the rest of the class.
Knows his stuff, interesting instructor, helpful.. His class is EASY, you just have to want to learn and just do the labs.
He is an awesome teacher
Professor was easy to understand with real life examples. Class was easy with effort put in. Lectures are in depth and can relate to real life trouble shooting.
He respects his students and expects them to be adults. Adult themes are only discussed with the disclosure of the class. The class is really laid back.
He is very respectful of his students, and makes sure that no one is offended when he speaks. He encourages you to seek help (either from him or the disability office) if you need it.
Fall Semester 2014 Makes objectives and lectures clear and to the point. Does not throw you an obnoxious amount of work. Class will be easy as long as you take the time to put some effort. Didn't need the textbook to pass the class which I was grateful for as it helped me save money. Overall I enjoyed his class!
Arthur is a pretty laid back professor, as long as you do your work online and turn in work by the midterm and final you will do fine.
Excellent professor! Always explains everything very detailed. May get off topic sometimes but always covers everything needed with real life experience. Makes class fun and interesting. He always answers questions and makes sure you understand anything he covers.
He is quite funny. Gives great analogies. Uses real life scenarios for adult themes and things that could possibly come up when working on someone's computer. I am looking forward to taking more computer classes that he teaches.
Professor is very understanding of unforeseen events in life that leads to students to missed class. Gives out additional information about the topics being taught and provides above and beyond real problem scenarios and solution in the IT field that other professors don't.
The class is VERY homework intensive... Not really hard stuff... Just a LOT of it. Mr. Salmon is a great teacher... Lectures are fun and interactive and he always has fun examples of the material from real life experience.
Tells it like it is. Very knowledgeable and still active in the craft. Pay attention and learn. If your learning style is hands on, this is the class.
Very knowledge and well respected
I honestly enjoyed this class. The amount of effort I put forth was minimal, and I have learned quite a bit.
It was a fun class. No real complaints glad I took this class with Arthur.
Awesome and funny teacher.
He is very liberal in his classrooms. He gives you 2 weeks or more to do missing work after the due date, he talked about all topics in the class during each chapter so alot of material is covered even if it isn't from that chapter. Classwork is easy and clear.
Great instructor and very informative.
He is a genius. If you ask him a question he can basically answer whatever question you have about IT. I would take him again for another class in this field. Thanks Mr. Salmon your cool. -Eric Lee
I took the class to prepare myself for the A+ exam, the Professor was very helpful on the subject and was able to help me out on anything that was needed for the class, sometimes, the class would go off topic but all the material was covered. The class felt natural with the conversation with both classmates and the professor.
Awesome professor. Great knowledge on the subject and very helpful.
Awesome Teacher.
Treats you like an adult and is very informative. He has extensive knowledge in many technology fields and makes his lectures fun.
Prof. Salmon is great at his profession. He answers email's almost immediately, he is has a flexible teaching style, and is very approachable professor.
Really knows his stuff and makes it really easy to understand. Very casual and laid back class.
Arthur is very knowledgeable and knows how to teach the class so the subject matter is understandable to all.
Very Good instructor -very helpful. I'll take classes from this instructor in the future.
His class is good but the lack of structure can be a little hectic for someone coming back to school.
This professor is awesome. I like how he teaches. He is very cool and laid back but will still get you to get your work done,
Outstanding teacher. Every homework assignment besides the midterms had no due date so I could do my homework when I had the time. A lot of the homework can be done at home minus the labs. He is very reasonable and is also really funny and will treat you like an adult. 10/10 would take again.
Gets into detail with each assignment which is good to ensure students understand what they are learning.
Very helpful and easy to understand.
He's an Interesting man
Labs are very helpful, you will learn tons if you do all the work and come to class. Teacher will help and clarify if you are struggling.
A very good teacher
Very good teacher. kept up my interest high.
He is very helpful and is very clear in his instructions. I enjoyed coming to class because he was easy to understand.
Very informative class
good teacher fun class no true due dates lets you be an adult
Knowledgable
Salmon has a very interesting teaching style as well as an "open and honest" policy about him. If you like having some interesting facts woven into your education, then you'll like this teacher.
I took this class for CIT 111 in the fall semester. He is a very open teacher and in one way or another encourages his students to speak and participate. The lectures he gives are engaging and are very interesting. Though sometimes he may stray off the original conversation.
I took this class in the beginning to get it to graduate, but now i'm enjoying it an my professor, paying attention to everything.
Mr. Salmon is a great teacher.
Rather than lecture for hours on not-so-exciting subject matter, he turns it into an interesting conversation. The lessons are smooth and he readily answers any questions you may have on the material. Like any normal conversation it does sometimes derail and get off topic, but that's what keeps it interesting.
This class. So much fun. and you learn so much. The professor really explains everything in detail and is really helpful when a student is in need. Would recommend big time.
great teacher he is always available for help and know exactily what you should know and how to teach it.
His classes are always interesting and the way he teaches allows you to have a hands on experience. He moves through the chapters according to the work and the importance of the materials .
The class is really fun and interesting. The lectures are informative, engaging, and interesting. The labs are also informative and are essential to building your CIT skills. He is very funny, and although it seems that he may go off topic sometimes, the side conversations are relative to the content being learned. He is a great professor.
The dude is funny. His lectures at first seem to go all over the place, but somehow he brings it all back to the topic. The crazy part is you are able to retain all the important things.
Amazing teacher! would highly recommend. He goes to lessons with such detail, while making it interesting and overall hilarious. He knows what he is talking about and is definitely willing to help anyone when they need it.
Great teacher, he's really helpful and will bust his ass to make sure you understand everything. Oh, and he ordered us all pizza randomly, which was awesome.
If you want to learn how to actually do the stuff and not just read it, take his classes.
Arthur is one of the best teachers at CSN for CIT Classes. I have taken his A+ Hardware, and A+ Software classes and loved his teaching style. He has very interactive lectures where all students can ask questions and give their input which makes the lectures very enjoyable. Manageable workload that makes you knowledgeable so you can get hired!!!
You could not ask for a better instructor. Great lectures tends to ramble, but he is funny. Hands on experience, make sure that everyone do their labs correctly. Need help he is there. Treats everyone like an adult, if you do not pass his class it is because you did not want to.
The Professor makes learning the course material very easy even though it is an advanced course. He teaches you the latest and most current information available which is very helpful. He has some of the best student involved discussions which makes the class a fun and friendly learning environment. Hands on Labs gives you real world experience!
Great class. he's funny and very knowledgeable.
great class, wish I could take it again.
Arthur has a different way of teaching. He actually uses real world examples and knowledge in conjunction with the book chapters and slides. He doesn't just read the material word for word and class discussions are usually fun.
He is awesome. I highly recommend him. I am taking him again for software.
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.
I enjoyed every class that I have enrolled in with Mr. Salmon. Lectures are explained very well, his focus is on the student attaining the knowledge to succeed in their career field. Answers all questions with his extensive back ground and is available when ever you need him.
Professor Salmon is a funny guy, which makes this class great. Its usually lectures during class and homework at your own time. All his homework and tests are due at the end of the semester, plus a midterm and final
take it!!!!
Professor Salmon is one of those professor that can hold your attention by telling the absolute best stories while you work. While he can go off on tangents, they are always related to the topic at hand.
Whatever class this Professor is teaching you are guaranteed to walk away with more knowledge, very easy going class.
This professor is awesome, he teaches very well and has a very good teaching style. This is the second time I took him and hope to have him again.
I enjoy being in his class. Any students who taking networking come class every week to pass the class and work. He prepare you for the network + certification test.
Good Instuctor... Doesn't teach by reading off of the book... teaches for you to retain the information.
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.
Arthur is a great teacher. He expects everyone to come to class and participate. He is extremely fair for students as long as you actually do your work and learn the materials he is demanding of. Overall a chilled teacher who explains things the right way.
Good instructor. Answers any questions and makes class discussions fun.
He is a good person, not too much of homework and stuff but he explains the curriculum perfectly good but not in depth, so you have to go and dig in books for your benefits.
Cool Dude
Arthur has been nothing but fantastic. This class teaches you a great amount of information and the teacher knows exactly what he is talking about. Lectures are entertaining, labs + final, no homework if you attend and get your labs done, great conversation, overall fantastic. A+++
Wealth of knowledge and goes out of his way to be available for when a student has questions.
Interesting professor and class.
Professor Salmon is an excellent subject in the field of academics
Class based less on memorizing facts, and more about ideas.
Great instructor. second time taking him and looking forward to taking him for more. Explains tasks thoroughly and will keep at it if you don't understand.
Great teacher knew the material very well.
Great Teacher!! Very knowledgeable! Fun Lectures and labs! He is always willing to help!.
Great professor. He is entertaining and makes learning a topic like this fun. I highly recommend him.
It was an interesting experience. It was very relaxing, but there was a lot of work. At the same time, he sometimes would be late for class.
It's good professor
This class help prepare for cert. He is a good teacher and cares about his students who wants pass cert.
great Professor
This instructor was very knowledgeable and helpful. The class was very informative.
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.
He is a really nice professor. Gives good lectures but can get side tracked very easily. You get out what you put in.
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.
easy class
Great professor, gets a little off topic a little bit, but always manages to present the chapters in a solid and understanding way. Always encourages feedback. Makes every chapter relative to current events and easy to understand.
Interesting class lectures, gets side tracked, but gets through chapter materials. Treats students like adults and does not babysit. All work due at the end of the semester, but do not get behind if possible.
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.
Arthur is a real gem. Eccentric and very knowledgeable on pretty wide range of tech related topics. You get a real life feel for the industry because he brings a lot of experience from his own endeavors. Pay close attention and ask questions. If you show dedication, Arthur will bend over backwards for you. You must put effort, no free rides!!
Goes off topic on the regular and shows up late to class. Didn't leave me feeling comfortable taking the cert. without additional time spent studying.
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
Hes a great professor but he lacks communication sometimes, he seems very busy. Every week there was 2 assignments, 2 discussions, one quiz, one extra credit and 2 homework assignments. That will be the average workload for the week, guaranteed
Hes an amazing professor! He answers fairly well. He even has many different options to reach out to him if you need help or anything. Lastly, do all assignments and youll pass.
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.
He is an amazing professor!!, not only he tries his best for all the students including The ones with most difficulties. He is an easy going person as well knowledgeable, I would recommend to take his classes as he is really caring about students and really fast replying. I would 1000% love to be in his class again
Professor Salmon is a great professor. He allows extensions if needed and is always there for you. Be sure to ask for help, and he will give you the resources or help you need. He is pretty easy going when you have a question.
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.
