Learning Python online was pretty difficult and if you're not accustomed to taking online classes, you might have a hard time. The online course is all in Mindtap by Cengage. Usually each week, you read a chapter, take a quiz, and complete 3-4 assignments all due by Sunday at midnight. Some discussion board posts and extra credit sprinkled in.

This class would be really difficult for someone who can't figure out the Cengage program. While there's a lot of material involved, it's pretty easy to do and offers many attempts, just put in the effort. If this professor offers other online courses for my major, I will be signing up for them.

Self-paced course had solid curriculum, but the fact it was online meant that it was 1/2 performance tasks and 1/2 tests. Most assignments are automatically graded, but for the ones that are done manually, no late credit will be given. Auto-grade fortunately does not impose late penalties. Course textbook is online, free for 2 weeks, then is $120.

His class was mainly zyBooks and discussions. If you do well on those, you will get an A. He also offers extra credit at the end of the semester so even if you dont do too well on his final, you can still get an A in his class. I would say a solid choice for csis 165.

Terrible teaching style, relies on ZyBooks instead of teaching the students. He cannot answer simple questions, instead says "Have you read the chapter" or "Ask the student tutors" It's a shame Grossmont is trying to offer bachelors program for cyber. This class or Degree will not prepare you at all.

Professor Hau is a very understanding and motivating professor. He made sure to be available for students to ask questions. He also gave us students multiple opportunities to apply for internships pertaining to the field. I also really enjoyed the class materials for the class. Overall, amazing class and kind and knowledgeable professor!

I took him for Intro to Cybersecurity and he was so nice. He's very responsive to any questions and makes himself very available to us. I had the pleasure of also being able to attend the hybrid in person lectures and he is very informative. He provided a lot of extra credit opportunities and I ended his class with a 104%.

Professor Hau might be the most best professor I ever had to meet online and in person. He is a respectful and knowledge teacher when I first started my cybersecurity journey. He provided many announcements and resources that I took advantage of. Cyber topics were interesting and easy to learn, and I wish I could write more, but I'm at the limit.
