Super nice teacher. Takes the extra time to make sure I understood everything. I highly recommend Mr. Cherner to everybody who needs to know Photoshop!
Mr Cherner is a very nice teacher who takes the time in or out of class to help you. He knows his stuff and is very patient. I would take him again.
Elliott was an awesome instructor!! I took his summer CIS105 class, and would recommend it to everyone. He gave in class time to work on projects, was always available to help, and encouraged you to have fun!! The class is a lot of self discipline, but as long as you do what he says, there is NO reason to get anything less than an A in his class!
What a cool guy! I took the 4 week summer course & I've never had so much fun in a class before. He really knows his stuff & is always willing to help. One of the best, most patient & understanding professors on campus. He's funny too! He makes an otherwise boring topic interesting. The class was fun & easy. It's almost impossible NOT to get and A.
I just finished this class for Summer session, He is amazing, helpful, attentive and understanding. I will say this though, if your not willing to do homework you will not do well. He warns, "you can give me excuses but on the last day I will give you your grade." its true, but he is funny and the class is fun. I give him high recomondations.
I highly recommend Elliott. I took an online course with him and he responded quickly, met with me on his own time, and spent hours with me teaching me javascript. Elliott sent me links, websites, and example code he wrote to help. If you are taking javascript, take it with this teacher! You will not be sorry!
SUPER easy class. Due dates are more than reasonable and he's way fun. You can contact him any time and he responds quickly. He does a lot of the assignments in class, so keeping up with homework is a breeze.
Elliott is the best teacher I've ever had. He is always on time, smiling, super helpful, funny, and nice. I wish I could take all of my classes with him! I have recommended himto everybody I know!
One of the best instructors I have ever had. He was always available to help and answer any question. I will be taking classes with him in the future and highly recommend him to any student.
Great teacher! Elliott tells it like it is and makes the class fun. I wish all of my teachers cared as much as he does! MCC ROCKS
Basically it's an online class. He just does MyITlab stuff and canvas quizzes. The benefit of coming to class is he goes through all the workshops step by step. He doesn't really teach that much though. It's just a super easy class to get an A. He's a believer in "self teaching."
Elliott is smart, funny, and very organized. He makes a hard class very easy. This is the 2nd time I had to take this and he made it seem so easy. I want to take every class with him!
Professor Cherner brings the real world to the classroom. He knows what he is talking about because he has actually done it!!! Funny too! He runs a very relaxed class but makes you do all the work. No work, bad grade, and he tells you way in advance.
Elliott is an excellent teacher. He is funny, helpful, makes a boring topic as interesting as possible, responds promptly to emails, and very knowledgable. This is such an easy class to get ahead in because it's basically online. If you have extra time at home, go online and get everything done. I aced it, easy. Good teacher, good experience.
Makes you love the class and you will love to listen to him he is the best of all time. Summer classes are the best.
This teacher knows databases cold! He gives real world examples and in one class motivated me to take more database classes and become a DBA. Super nice, super funny, and so smart!
Professor Cherner is the best instructor I have had at MCC. I highly recommend his Flash course. You will not be sorry
This was a hybrid class, so we had only one class session/week. Professor Cherner was available virtually every day of the week and was routinely extremely generous with his time, support, and concern. His main concern was that students actually learned how to do Adobe Flash, and so he was very lenient as to accepting late work.
Professor Cherner made a hard class very easy. Even though this was an online course, he was always available in his office for me. I will defianately take more of his classes.
I took him about a year ago before the system changed for CIS105. However, he is really helpful and walked through assignments with the entire class. He answered all of my questions and was extremely respectful. I would definitely recommend him, just make sure to do your work and attend class. It may be boring, but you'll get the help you need.
Professor Cherner is super helpful. This was my first online course and he met me at the lab just to teach me how to use Snap. I highly recommend Professor Cherner to everybody. He is the best professor I've ever had!
Really cool teacher. Professor Cherner is the best teacher at MCC. He shares real world experience and makes you feel like you can really get a good job if you work hard. I wish more teachers cared as much as he does. I will be takeing more of his classes
Great teacher, trying to take more of his classes. Allows late homework if you are struggling and will help out when needed.
He is a great teacher. Every once in a while he'll have a class "debate" assignment and he's a little stubborn with his opinions, but overall he's a great guy. Allows late work forever, will walk you through anything you don't understand, and he knows a lot about computerstechnology. I would definitely take another class with him.
This is my 2nd class with Mr. Cherner. I will be taking more. He is super helpful and personable. Plus he's funny!
Fast grader, fast responses to email, always seems to be available when Im at Mesa. Friendly and smiling, will help with anything. I'm graduating soon, and I hope I can take him at ASU this fall!!!!!!!!
I've had Professor Cherner for quite a few classes at MCC and would take more from him if I could. He responds and grades quickly, which helps (especially taking online classes) and is always available for help. If you're taking any CIS courses at MCC, make sure you take one from him, you won't regret it!
Flexible and gives as many chances and as much time as you need to get the grade you want.
Great teacher! He is very understanding, funny, and super smart. I've taken 3 of his classes, and encourage all of my friends to take him. MCCs very best teacher! Take him, you won't be sorry!
Professor Cherner is very kind and understanding. He gives you more time and tries if needed to earn the grade you want. MindTap sucks, but Professor Cherner has worked around it. Recommend him to everybody!
I just finished a class with him and will be taking more classes with him. I wish I could take Dr. Cherner for all of my classes. He really understands students and is kind and thoughtful. He makes a really hard class easier and gives you real world advice.
Professor Cherner is a nice teacher. I am going to take more classes with him if I can. He knows web development very well and it is obvious he loves it!
This is the type of instructor you want for all of your classes. Fast on the grading and feedback, gives lots of chances, and really understands me!
It is obvious he cares for us. I wish I could take more classes with him.
Best teacher I've ever had! Professor Cherner is kind, patient and willing to work with you on deadlines. He makes you work hard, but I GOT A JOB PROGRAMMING!!!!!!!
Elliot is a great professor and is there for his students.
Spends a lot of time answering questions. I really feel like he cares about what he does. Will take again!
Funny and knows the material very well. The class is very laid back and he answers any question you may have. Would recommend taking this class.
This is the best teacher at ASU. He responds quickly, answers questions completely, and will provide code when you ask. I really wish I could take more classes with Dr Cherner. He really cares about students! Take him!
Dr Cherner ROCKS! He spends time with you if you need it. He makes a hard class easy. He is funny and nice. I will take more classes with him!
Dr. Cherner is the best instructor I've ever had. His instructions are clear, he makes time for you, and he really makes me feel like he wants me to succeed.
Gave me an extension so I could finish my course. He really really cares. MCC is so lucky to have teachers like him.
This is one GREAT TEACHER! I've taken four courses with him and will be taking more!
Dr. Cherner really knows what he is talking about. He answers questions fast and I understand his answers. He gives us industry experience. I feel after taking this course I can do web design. I hope I can take more classes with him!!!!
Dr. Cherner is really knowledgeable and presents the material in a way that someone as myself who has no previous programming could grasp and understand what he was teaching. If ever there is a programming class that I need to take and he is teaching I will be taking his class.
He is the best teacher at Mesa Community college. Seriously, he should be teaching the rest of the instructors how to teach!! I wish he could teach math. Patient, kind, and understanding. FUNNY TOO!
I learned a lot this semester. Dr. Cherner was the reason. He spent a lot of extra time walking me through the hard parts of javascript. ASU needs more just like him!
I really enjoyed this class. It was straightforward and fairly easy, but also informative. I did definitely learn a lot about web development. I don't really have anything bad to say about the professor. For the most part he seemed pretty hands-off, but was always available when emailed and would be quick to respond. Definitely would take again!
I heard he was the best CIS105 instructor at MCC. I heard right. He is the best instructor at MCC. I am going to take all of my classes with Dr. Cherner that I can. He responds quickly, and really knows what he is talking about.
Dr Cherner is quick to respond and his feedback is right on target. He spent a lot of time with me this semester in Photoshop, and I am grateful! I will be taking more classes at MCC with Dr. Cherner!
Whenever you ask who the best CIS professor is, you hear it's Dr. Cherner. I took him for photoshop, and now I believe it. Don't take anybody else!
He is a great, caring teacher. I wish there were more like him at MCC. He answers my questions quickly, and is very flexible. He is truly amazing!!!
He gave me extra time to do my coursework, spent a lot of time with me. He really knows his stuff. I wish he could teach me all of my classes.
Great teacher. He helped me alot. Wish I could take more classes with him.
Elliot is a real gem; he prefers if you call him by his first name. Please take Java before taking this course; it was insanely difficult for me with only CIS 105. YouTube, office hours, and meeting up with classmates is highly suggested. You can learn a ton from your classmates and teach them a thing or two which makes projects faster.
He is just the best teacher. He understands that books are expensive, so there is no book to buy for CIS105. He grades superfast, answered all of my questions, and gave me more time when I needed it. A++
Best Instructor ever. I will recommend to all
Funny, smart, compassionate are just a few words for Dr. Cherner. Everybody deserves a Dr. Cherner at least once. Take him. My older brother took him and recommended him to me. I am taking him and recommending him.
The professor is nice and very professional. He responds to emails and requests quickly. The class was online, and 8 weeks to learn JavaScript is ridicules. In that time, you won't be job ready so don't waste your money. The professor was just a proctor, grading work and giving feedback. Add an expensive book that's terribly written. Never again.
Great Course, Great Instructor! Would recommend both!
Dr C is the best instructor at MCC. Ive taken two classes with him and they were both GREAT. I recommend taking advantage of his office hours if you are online.
Good class. Great Instructor. Elliot is one of the few teachers at MCC that understands that students need help outside of scheduled hours. I would recommend him to anybody. Smart, and he makes classes a lot of fun with his industry experience.
Dr. Cherner is one of the best teachers Ive ever had. He made MCC worth coming back to.
Elliot is funny and down to earth. He gives amazing insight on real-world topics and really helps you understand internet and computer science. Easy A and always willing to work with his students if you EVER need help.
Best. Teacher. Ever.
Dr. C is better than his ratings! He is the most compassionate teacher I've ever had! I am taking a summer class with him also. Highly recomend! There is no book for his CIS105 so we save money too!!!!!!
I took his CIS105 course that does not have a book. He answers questions quickly and is available even when other teachers are not. Im an older student and I know how hard it is to make it to campus sometimes. He stayed late just for me.
Elliot is the best instructor at Mesa Community College. I took a tough course (Javascripting) and he not only made it seem easy, but his easygoing and fun attitude made this course so much better. It is obvious he loves to teach. If you are online as I was I recommend you meet him in person at least once. He is warm, funny, and smart.
I took CIS105 with Elliot. Highly recommend to all. NO BOOK!!!!
This is my 2nd course with Dr. Cherner. I will take more. He really cares, and is willing to work with me!
He is the best instructor Ive ever had. I wish I could take more classes with him. He goes out of his way to help, answers questions fast, and is very kind and flexible. MCC is OK as a college, but Elliot is the real gem here. If you are taking programming courses, see him first.
I just finished an 8 week course with him. I signed up for another course next semester with him! Dr. C is THE BEST! He worked with me several times when I was struggling, he was always available when I needed him. As an adult learner, I could not have asked for a better teacher to restart my education. Highly recommended.
Great experience! Dr C. is the best teacher I've had at CG. Funny, friendly, and always willing to help. 5 stars, two thumbs up, 100%. I would recommend him to anybody.
I learned a lot and had fun. He is a great teacher
I had very little experience with technology prior to this class. Dr. Cherner was patient and relaxed me. I am really glad I took this class and feel comfortable with Microsoft. He is a fantastic teacher, and just a really good guy. I would recommend him to anybody and will be taking another course with him in the spring.
Dr Cherner is a great teacher and a very nice person. He will give you the break when you need it. He really cares! Thank you Dr. C for everything.
Elliot is a highly respected and sought after faculty member. As a faculty member who took his class, I can see why the students, faculty and staff have such high regard for him. He is very proficient and skilled in what he teaches, has endless enthusiasm for the subject matter, he treats his students with respect, and they revere him in return.
Dr C gave me the opportunity during the final day to make up some work that I forgot. He really cares and it shows. He is patient and kindly. I highly recommend Dr C for any classes he teaches
Elliot is probably the best instructor I've had during my community college experience. He is caring, helpful, and makes class engaging and interesting for difficult subjects like computer programming. He is very knowledgeable and genuinely wants students in his class to succeed. I definitely recommend taking his classes.
Dr. C is the best teacher I've ever had. Patient and kind. He is willing to work with you. Funny and nice. Recommended
Dr. C is very kind and made time for me whenever I needed it. I would not have passed without him. Great Professor!
Elliot Cherner is one of the best professors I've ever had. He's assignments are entertaining and useful, his lectures are hilarious and he genuinely cares for his students and there well being. Show up to class and participate, and he will genuinely make a difference in your life. This is the second class I've taken with him, & it was so worth it
This class was the highlight of my semester. I actually looked forward to coming to class. He is very kind and patient. He will explain something 10 times until you understand it. Makes you work for your grade and makes you work hard in class in a good way.
Elliott is the best professor at Chandler-Gilbert. I will take him again.
Dr C is the best teacher I've ever had. There is no question on that. Class was forced online halfway through. I hate online classes. He spent hours with me going over assignments, making videos, and talking to me on the phone. Other veterans told me to take him. I'm glad I listened. Highly recommend to anybody!
Elliott was super helpful after we had to go online. I really enjoyed his inperson class but we had to go online due to covid. The course was harder online. I would take him again.
This class was super easy and fun I did slack during COVID but passed. I would recommend you have update computer system such as Microsoft Programs will def need. Overall he his very easy and understanding
I am so glad I took this course with Dr. C. He really makes a difference. Going from inperson to online was really hard. he made is so much easier. Recommend.
Really good course. I learned a lot. Dr C grades fast, gives detailed feedback, and will let you redo assignments if you ask. I would take him again.
My sister took him last year and recommended him. Professor Cherner is as good as they say he is. He clearly explains everything and gives you as many chances as you need. I really liked him and I liked the class. I would recommend him.
Great Professor! I was worried about live online but Dr C made it easy. He walks you through every assignment, giving tips along the way. I would recommend him.
Dr C. is an amazing instructor. He graded very fast and gives great feedback. He allows you to resubmit if you need to. It is a difficult course, but his feedback and tutorials help a lot. I will take him again. I recommend
Work load is hefty, but work load is not impossible to do. Spends his time making guides for students on how to navigate and use the Microsoft suite. He's clearly passionate about what he teaches and is very caring.
If you need to take IFT301, you must take Dr Cherner. he gives lots of feedback, grades fast, and has compassion. Out of all the professors at ASU he is the best one.
