This was a challenging course, but the professor is always willing to offer help when needed. A lot of writing is required

Dr. Haubitz clearly states what the assignments/papers are and when they are do. If you turn your work in early he will pre-grade as well. This class has a significant amount of writing. Many of the assignments are posting/responding to discussions in a forum. He is constantly sending out reminders. You will not find many instructors to do that.

Simply not too difficult if you follow him and his reminders online. Not so many profs do this these days, i.e., taking an interest in the learning outcomes online. Would recommend him if you are in for a lot of writing and a challenging class. Overall I liked it though online is challenging.

IB is a graduate level course so Dr. Haubitz holds everybody to high writing standards.This class is not difficult if you put forth a little effort in completing the assignments and turn them in on time. From personal experience I do know he gives feedback and will assist you if you are having issues with an assignment.

Information and Social Media was my 3rd course with Dr. Haubitz. I found all the courses very engaging and relevant. I have noticed that some students do not like him, but most of the complaints I have heard arise from laziness on the student's part. Dr. Haubitz does not go easy on slackers and he grades very fairly. You get the grade you earn.

I have taken two classes with Professor Haubitz ( IA and IB) and honestly, those courses helped me during my final semesters(Capstone and Communication for IT Prof.)... Yes, he requires a lot of writing but it's achievable.. I would not recommend taking more than one class that he teaches per semester though..That's where I messed up. Work Overload

Hard on writing assignments but helpful overall.

To get the basics out of the way, yes his classes are hard. With that out of the way, Haubitz is tough but fair. He grades based on your participation and quality of your papers. When he is hounding you in emails, it's because he's trying to ensure that you are fully participating in the discussion board. He is also very responsive to emails.

I had an excellent experience with this class and Professor Haubitz. His excitement for the subject matter is contagious. He really makes you work, but in the end it is worth the effort.

I am really happy that I took his class. Prof. Haubitz is very enthusiastic and goes the extra mile (unlike some other profs at this school). Would recommend him if you want to learn something. He is tough at times but always fair. You basically get what you deserve. Do all the assignments and you should be fine. Good experience overall anyway.

He is a gem overall. Very open also to special needs. Thanks Dr. Learned a lot in your course. Thanks.

Very cool prof. You really get what you deserve. Very fair guy though sometimes hard with grading, Learned a lot from him. Wished there would be more like this prof at the school. Simply cool and he helped me a lot to improve my grade always before things were due. Just great.

Great class. Wouldn't have learned such a big deal about the subject otherwise. He is really cool.

Great class and why do I have to do this again? He doesn't use ant textbook and that saves all of us a big deal.

Prof. gets a bad rep for being overbearing. Sends lots of emails and reminders to try to be active in an online environment. Can be a tough grader. Grades easier if you apply his comments in future. German language barrier makes emails sound harsher than they are meant. Best to meet in person to learn how nice he really is. Very knowledgeable!

Dr. Haubitz gets a bad rap for being mean when in reality he just isn't afraid to tell you if you've done something poorly. Most students are used to putting forth a meager effort and being coddled by professors. He's nice, helpful and grades fairly. If you're a serious student looking to actually learn something, ignore the negative reviews.

Dr. Haubitz isn't afraid to tell you if you've done something poorly and tries to help students with the assignments. He is helpful and will email a lot to make sure he is thorough. His thoroughness helps a lot with assignments and project work. If you do take his class, just be prepared to actually try on your assignments. Great professor overall!

I've taken 3 courses with Dr. Haubitz while at USF, and have enjoyed each one. His courses can be challenging at times, because he can be pretty demanding. But in the end it is definitely worth it because you will learn a lot in his courses. Also go to his office hours to meet with him in person, he is really helpful and is a funny guy! 22

I have taken two classes with Dr. Haubitz. He is a fair grader and he gives really good feedback. If you read his comments and apply them to future work, then you will do just fine in his classes. Make sure to read the assigned materials. He really wants students to succeed. I haven't met him in person, but I've heard he's a really nice guy.

Dr. Haubitz presents a challenging environment that is more rigorous than most other professors I've had experience with at USF. For those who don't mind working for their grades, you will be rewarded. If your looking for an easy A, he's not the guy,

Sweet and big help compared to where I am in my other courses. Thanks Professor. I adore you.

Thanks for a great semester Dr. H. I really needed all that quick feedback and not many profs do this in online classes.

Great intro to new services. At the beginning I thought I knew everything about social media. I was absolutely wrong. Great class if you follow instructions and do not mind to read the material.

This was my 3rd class with Dr. Haubitz. There's no textbook for this class, but he does expect you to actually readwatch the assigned materials and do the work. I think the people who give him bad reviews just don't know how to follow instructions. He may seem a little rough but he's actually very helpful, especially if you turn in work early.

Follow his instructions and you will really learn a lot in his class. Not right if you are lazy. He is quite knowledgeable and a good source also for career advice. I wished I could take another course with him but I took the course as an elective. The prof is really there for you provided you show an interest in the subject. Great communicator!!

Meet him. He is actually pushing you to greatness if you follow his thorough feedback. Not for slackers. He is also well respected in the field and a great resource if you are into it. Read his instructions carefully in particular at the beginning of the semester. I learned a lot.

Thanks Prof. I had a great experience although I had to learn that I did not know much about many of the social media out there. Will definitely use many of the ones you introduced in future. Wished I would have known about social bookmarks before because this could have made projects in other classes easier. You're tough but fair. Thanks.

Information Architecture is a challenging course at USF. This is not an easy class and you should expect to produce quality assignments. This class will prepare you for a career in information architecture, UX or Web design.

He is very helpful. I feel that I definitely learned a lot though this was my second online class only. Dr. H. cares a lot and tells you quickly if something isn't as expected or if you missed instructions. It's up to you but you should definitely make all the suggested improvements before the deadline if you expect an A. Communication seems king.

I took Dr Haibitz online and have had him for more than 1 class so I have gotten to know him, he is one of the best professors when it comes to communication, always replies and never ignores you. As long as you do the work and follow instructions then you will do good, don't expect to not do anything but also don't expect to skate by.

One of the best profs I had during my studies at USF. He is one of the few who really cares about students' progress and I really learned so much from him. I completely disagree with others here who are just bashing. That should not happen and it should not appear here because Dr. Haubitz is truly one of the best that the university has.

Dr Haubitz is a great teacher that will go out of his way and tak to you all day if you need it, I have had him for 4 classes and taking again, and I had to miss time due to a wedding and he was accepting and supportive.

Some comments on here almost made me not register for his class. I ended up taking his class and I am glad I did. Yes, he is strict and likes his assignements submitted in a certain way, but he usually emails you notifying you that you did not follow intructions and gives you time to fix it and resubmit it. If you are in college to learn, take him.

Great guy and I will take him again because he really cares about students success.

Very good Prof. He is careful and provides good feedback. Read his comments because they allow you to become better in future assignments. Heavy on APA style though but that was overall a good experience. Highly recommended if you are in the learning mood. Do not take him if you're not. He wants you to earn a high grade. He will help you with that.

Somewhat tough but a great learning experience and absolutely great feedback. If you want to learn from a knowledgeable person in the area of IA take him. Very knowledgeable and nice if you talk to him in person.

Great professor overall but make sure that you submit assignments early so that you can get prompt feedback and make corrections if necessary. His style is a little bit unusual at USF but good once you understood it. I would recommend him if you want to learn. Avoid his courses otherwise. He helped me a lot.

This was a new class. It relates to what I'd like to do with my career in future. I wished everyone in the course would have been from the IS major because it supplements a lot of material we didn't go over in other courses. There was unfortunately a student in this small class who made it difficult to carry out projects successfully. Thanks Prof!

Most beneficial course I have taken during my 4 years at USF. He really makes it worth and though we had our ups and downs he provided me with the best and most beneficial learning experience at USF. I would highly recommend his Social Media course to everyone at USF.

Overall this was one of the best courses I have ever taken at USF during the last 4 years because It made me do what I have wanted to do for a long time. Thanks DFr. Haubitz. You are so nice.

Great course. Thanks Prof. I would not have made the grade I received and learned so much in a Summer course if it would not have been for all your help and extra time you put in. Thanks. Great experience.

Learned a lot. He's funny. Go to his office hours.

Solid class with hands-on exercises.

Cares about learning and very helpful.

helpful prof
