Loads of extra credit. Before i had my last assignment turned in i was over 110%! And thats with late work with deducted points. But that extra credit is a lot of participation. Even though its online. 2 assignments a week, which take maybe an hour total. You have to stay on task but it's an easy A! Loved him!!

WEB110 was my first class with Mr. von Briesen.

He is absolutely amazing! He provides ample time to complete the course, and it is self-paced. The assignments and online course are well-organized, which is rare for an online course. He was very dedicated to helping students pass without ever getting to know us!

He's really good with giving feedback and will allow you to work on an assignment over and over again until you get a full grade or higher. He offers a lot of extra credit. It's really hard for you to NOT pass this class. He gives you plenty of opportunities. I wish all of my other online classes were set up this way.

The amount of work may seem like a lot at first but if you take it one step at a time and do a little every day then you will be just fine. He will give feedback on assignments with a chance to make improvements instead of just grading them and moving on. I highly recommend him as a professor, I've learned the most in his classes.

This is my second class with him and I couldn't be happier about it. He pushes for social interaction and excellence but in a caring and helpful way. Do the work and don't wait until the last minute and you will have nothing to worry about. He gives extra credit just for helping each other out which can benefit everyone.

Great professor, tries to stay up to date unlike other classes I've taken that teach outdated material. This isn't a class you can do the minimum so don't slack off and you will learn a lot. He is here to help you succeed but you have to do the work. Highly recommended this professor.

Professor DI von Briesen is an excellent professional. He always gives great feedback, holds live meetings in online classes, and is very patient in explaining anything we ask. I am glad I had the chance to participate in his classes and hope other students have the same feelings.

The professor was fair and reasonable and seriously gave you ample time to complete your assignments. There are a lot of assignments. If you are already computer savvy and have the know-how to complete tasks, you can probably beat his best student in this term's academia, I think it was 7 or 9 days or something like that.

Even though this class was mostly online, I learned a lot about how computers work, despite being raised in that environment. This class will prepare you on how Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel function, which will be helpful in future endeavors or lectures.

Class Format is super understandable. It may seem like a lot of work at first - but trust- once you figure out the course format it is a breeze. There are so many grades in the grade book that tests do not hurt our score. I felt as though I could really focus on learning over just passing. 10/10 Would take again.

He made the class very fun and interactive. He gave a good chunk of assignments throughout the week and, as long as you keep up with them you can earn a fairly high grade. This is alongside with extra credit opportunities he gives as well. Responds very quickly to concerns and questions.
