Chapter quizzes on canvas (answers online) HW on pearson and quizzes as well. He does an adobe session every week showing you how to do the homework. Quizzes sometimes have questions on them that are not on homework. He drops the lowest grade for canvas quiz, hw, and quizzzes on pearson. Great professor.

The entire course is on Cengage. Grades are made up of biweekly assignments + quizzes, and final. He does weekly live Zoom lectures which are a big help since they are interactive. He truly cares about his students is available via phone at all hours. Quizzes and final are made up of the homework problems, just different numbers. Easy A.

I hope FIU can have more professors like him . He is so caring , goes over the material . The subject is so hard to understand by yourself but his zoom videos he goes over problems and explains everything and makes it sound easier to understand . He truly cares about the students learning. He has been my favorite professor on the program so far .

Online zoom meetings which he explains how to use excel for homeworks and quizzes. There are bugs in the homeworks and quizzes and you may not earn credit for some problems due to the excel formulas not being taught properly by the professor. Pretty easy class, if you keep up with the homework youll be good. He could improve in terms of teaching

The class is not easy, everything is on Excel using formulas. This was an online class and he does have zoom sessions every week where he goes over the homework and explains. After each homework, there's always a quiz. Homework and quizzes are 30 of the grade each and final 40%. He is very understanding and will work with you if you ask for help.

He's an amazing professor, cares a lot about the students, and goes above and beyond to help you understand the material. I wish I had more classes with him. I found the material of the class is easy. Be resourceful if you don't understand something Google is your friend, and so is the professor!

This man gives you 30 minutes to take a 10 question quiz on Excel that could take easily 2 hours. He is not considerate of the students feedback and is very misleading in explanations. Please do not take him, I've always been good at math and he was a HUGE MISTAKE.

Wow, what a great and flexible professor! He is so understanding and if you message him asking for one more day for homework or need to reschedule an exam he is very responsive and helpful! I think he actually cares that students pass his class. One of the only math classes and professors Ive actually enjoyed! Highly recommend

If you can avoid this professor, do it. All work is on excel. He goes over HW problems on his lessons, so those are easy. Then you take a quiz. HW problems will be in it with different numbers, those are easy, but then he will add 2 or 3 more problems that he didn't cover so that you can figure out how to do them in the few minutes you get. Nasty.

Proffesor Kyparis was an excellent teacher. He truly cares for his students and responds quickly. This class overall is a lot of material wise but he makes it a breeze. I would record him!

Excel courses are miserable, yes. However, this professor gives you a perfect roadmap to acing the course. He solves everything in the homework ahead of time for you to figure out how to do it exactly. He also moved back due dates every week to ensure everyone had plenty of time to pass quizzes and homework. A real G.

He's not bad, only thing is that the final is commutative which is why I would not take him again, keep an excel sheet with everything from the beginning and remember how to do those problems. He goes over the hw problems and there are some that he doesn't teach, u have to learn yourself. The final is 40% of the grade good luck.

I never leave reviews but I felt compelled to review professor Kyparisis, no the class isn't easy and taking one professor over another won't magically make it easier. However throughout the semester the professor showed he genuinely cared about his students and seeing us pass his class. It takes some effort to learn the material but very passable.

Professor Kyparisis is flexible and cares about student success. The class is challenging, but manageable with effort. Use resources like the textbook, study sessions, and unstuck AI to ace the Excel-heavy coursework.

Very kind professor, clear schedule for class with quiz/hw due every week that is manageable. Responds to emails and tries his best to make class easy to grasp for everyone. Best teacher for this course. Did not have midterm exam, ends with cumulative final. BTW DO NOT PICK GLADYS S for this class.

This professor has 10 homework assignments, all of which consist of the one question taught in class. This class is impossible to fail unless you bomb the final, which is 35% of the grade. The final consists of the same questions shown in the homework. He also has recordings of how to do homework problems if you miss class.

He was microaggressive towards me, he makes odd comments sometimes, and mansplains when any girl has a question, but does not act the same towards the male students. He has a bad attitude and kind of pushy.

Great teacher super easy however a lot of group activities and solving problems as a group . Even if you are an online student you will still be required to participate in group assignments and be graded on your participation. Take him!!
