Class is usually boring, but he does his best to make it interesting, considering the material is very dry. Do not buy the book, because he puts everything you need to know on PP slides. Quizes are fairly easy if you go over the PP slides. No final.

WHAT ARE YOU IDIOTS TALKING ABOUT??? Prof. Grant is great. He knows VERY well what he's teaching and makes the subject very easy and understandable. He's extremely intelligent and quite funny...makes 3 hours go by fast. Great prof.

Grant expects students to work hard, but the material is extremely easy. Having never taken an MIS course, I took two of his classes at once and did well in a class of students that are all MIS majors. He's very personable and willing to work with students that have trouble with the material or the course in general.

He is a hard grader, and expects alot from his students. His lectures are OK, but not too clear. Just read the text carefully and remember the diagrams for this class.

I don't understand why there are so many negative comments here. This class was definitely not easy and required a LOT of work. But that doesnt mean Dr. Grant is a bad professor. He explains the material very well, and if you ask questions and show interest he will be glad to help you out. Just pay attention in class and read the book.

This professor does NOT know how to teach. He criticizes everything and anything especially on your homework. He is a VERY TOUGH grader!!! You think that you did a great job on your assignments. Guess again when he grades them he thinks that you didnt care about the assignment and that you a plain lazy when working on them. Avoid him if you can!!!

Slackers Beware! Dr Grant's class prepares you for the REAL WORLD. He gives no answers, just direction... just like you would get from your boss or peers at work, thus you have to draw on your analytical skills. His class was interesting and challenging. He uses the text and is very helpful when you ask for it! Very honest in remarks, nice smile.

I really liked this class. All assignments and subjects discussed are relevent now! Take note on his way of design... it will make sense later when you apply it. Read the text carefully and discuss. Our class found discrepancies with the text and Dr Grant's preference. Get clarification early because there is only one test given. Good class.

Dr. Grant is a terrific professor who knows his stuff. In my opinion, this class is not for people who do not like challenges. Those who complain are not mature enough to for this class. The homework can become a handful but just read the book carefully.

Dr. G is the bomb diggity. If you don't like to work or learn, then don't bother taking this class. Dr. Grant challenges you to apply concepts to real world excercises. He's incredibly fun and keeps things loose while getting a lot of work done. People who complain about Dr. Grant are lazy and unmotivated, and probably shouldn't be in college.

Wow, this guy is exactly what everbody's been saying on this site.This man is on a ego trip every class.Just because you yell and scream unintelligible sounds do not mean you are passionate. Likes to confuse students thinking that it is for their own good and it will help in the real world, while you end up with a c- with no explanation of why.

Believe me in saying that Professor Grant's class is hard as nails. Don't expect an easy grade at all if you're looking for something easy. If you're willing to do the work (seriously, 6-8 hours a week) and pay attention in class, you will get a LOT out of this class. He will make you think and work for your grade, but you'll be better for it.

Very knowledgeable and a fair grader. Sometimes the assignments can be unclear, but if you point out what was unclear, he will understand and may even give you credit. Likes things done his way,good practice for dealing with bosses for those w/o work experience. A UML on Visio manual would be a good suppl. ref. Learned a lot, be prepared to work

Dr. G is an awesome professor!! He is tough but fair. The class is very enjoyable. Make sure to read the chapter. READ the syllabus, and make sure to turn in the correct hw. His class forces you to have a good work ethic but, at the end of the day, you'll be a better student for it. One of the best professors I've taken at my 4 yrs at Depaul.

There is a Mid-Term, final, final project and couple hws. He is clear on what he wants "keep it simple and stupid" and you get A. You will need to work for it though. Many if not all students find him hard but he actually cares about what you learn in class. He pulls jokes during class and try not to skip class.

Dr. G is a fair grader, but a tough grader. You HAVE to work for your grade; no slacking. Going to his office hours helps a lot, but try to go with specific questions. If you put in the effort you will do well.

Amazing professor. Yes, it is a tough class but that's because he cares about his students and wants you to succeed!! Work hard, come to class, take notes and you'll do fine! :-)

He's a tough professor no doubt. But.. if you pay attention in class and really try, you will do really well. He's almost like a military general.. harsh grading and expectations that you go above and beyond. But let me tell you.. if you take advantage of this guy.. you will go far in life. Keep doing your thing DR. G. Have a drink to this.

If you don't do well in this class, you're not trying hard enough. He gives you everything you need to succeed. I got a B+ because my group sucked and they ruined my grade a little.

Dr G is probably the hardest teacher you'll ever take but the best if you are willing to work and be active at office hours! You will have to read the book (many times). If you do not do this from the beginning you will fall behind quickly. Make a great study group in the class. Also try not to take 360 and 370 together like I did.

No doubt, he is a tough professor, but you learn a lot from him, i am glad he is teaching MIS.

Dr. G is a great teacher, he gives a total of 3 HW, 2 tsts, 1 qz and a grp project so evry pt is important. Make sure you hold your grp members accountable as the project is intense. Studying for his tests are hard as his questions can be cryptic. He does alot to prepare you for the work world, including bringing in former students for job resrcs.

Dr. Grant is an Amazing professor. He will set you up for success. Everyone in the comments hating are either dumb or don't like to work hard. He will fill you with knowledge and wisdom. TAKE HIM if you want to have a great successful career in MIS, with plentiful opportunities and growth in your professional development. HAVE A DRINK TO THIS DR.G

Dr.G is a Great professor, he is willing to help you no matter what just ask him to. Show up to class, read chapters, and do the HW on time. Tough professor, but you learn a lot in his classes! Would definitely take a class with him again.

Dr. G is solid. He doesn't just spoon feed you the material like a lot of other teachers do. Was lucky enough to take Database with him in the summer, with a small group. Lots of instances of him rolling his sleeves up and helping us through tough material. Gonna take a cue from the poster below and say HAVE A DRINK TO THIS DR. G!

Amazing professor. Taking this class will make you a better person. As a professor, Dr. G is challenging but fair. He pushes you so that when you go into the working world, youll have the tools you need to succeed. The class is not an easy A, but you will be rewarded for putting in the time and effort into your work. Have a drink to this, Dr. G!

At first, you might hate Dr. G - he's making you use every single cell left in your brain. Criteria are vague, he is not giving you the rubric and expects you to ask questions. I think Dr. G mirrors the professional world. Once you're a business analyst, you have to use your thinking skills and Dr. G prepares you for that.

Dr. G has high, but not at all unreasonable, expectations. He wont give you an A on assignments just for turning things in on time, but you will earn an A if you show that youre bringing together all the concepts & frameworks for proper database design as demonstrated in the lectures/ book. If you do that, youll find the class to be straightforward

Professor G. Has expectations that are equivalent to the real field of MIS. The subject is by its nature detail heavy and requires sensationally clear logical thinking. Basically, if you are going to take this class you must put in all the effort.

These are probably the most invaluable and inspirational learning experiences I've had at DePaul! Dr. G genuinely cares about his students. He makes you work for it, but it gives you the knowledge and skills that last and sets you up for success no matter where you decide to go. Don't be intimidated, do your work, ask questions, and you'll be fine!

This class is not a walk in the park. Do the reading and watch the lecture before class. Final is optional but it will impact your grade if you do poorly on it. Dr G provides thorough feedback on submitted assignments.

Listen to the lectures prior to the class. You will use your book for homework assignments and he does refer to it during class. Gives thorough feedback on the assignments. One final project that you can do on your own or with a partner. Overall great experience, I was worried based on the reviews here.

My experience with Dr. G was exceptional. He's an outstanding educator with an engaging teaching style, simplifying complex concepts. Assignments were super easy, and he's always available for support. Don't listen to old reviews; I'll miss the class!

Professor Grant is very knowledgeable and is willing to help his students wherever he can. Although the class is only graded on a few things (and if you don't do well on the first assignment it may be tough to come back) he provides great feedback. This class truly felt like a college level class and I feel accomplished having completed it. Take it

Take this course if you're serious about learning, not just chasing an easy A. Dr. G prepares you for the real world, where success isn't handed out easily. If you avoid the work but want real-world readiness, this class will be a reality check. Demonstrate improvement and understanding, and you'll earn a good grade.

Feeling conflicted. It was a difficult class. He has high expectations. But I learned the most in this class. It answered my many questions about databases prior to the class. You will do well if you pay attention, attend every lecture, ask questions, listen carefully, and engage during the lectures. His teaching style may not be for most people.

Graduated in 2022 with a B in MIS360, B+ in MIS370. Have worked as a tech consultant doing ERP implementations at a big 4 for 3 years. These classes are hard, the assignments are vague, and Dr G is a brutal grader; but thats the point. Try hard, understand rel. DBs, ace Visio, and you too can join the thrilling world of tech consulting. Cheers Dr G
