Prof. McKelvey is good teacher, but does not understand limits of space traveled to attend class. He is not understanding about GPA.
He is very detailed in his lectures.
Mr. McKelvey was a patient and thorough lecturer. Alot of examples and explanation was given. Tanq

Very good professor, explains in detail and a friendly man .
we can ask anything related computer and he will explain the answers in detail.
Good professor makes us learn a lot
If you are taking his course then you will definitely Learn something from his class, even if you didnt learn anything from the course you will learn how to write a good APA formatted paper.
Very happy to be in the class
Henry mckeley professor is really good, he teach really nice and professor teach some chapters practically so its easy to understand, if I get a chance to take class of this professor again in another subject so I prefer that first .
It was an unique experience in class, also sensible for writing / reading intensity which helps us to grow more in details.
he is simply the best
Nice Professor
Professor Henry McKelvey is great Professor. He is very positive love the way he teaches us. Thank you Jagjeet Singh
He has good knowledge
Will give you meaningless homework and the grading style not fair. He will grade the paper with proper content and copy-paste in the same score range. He claims he is fair, but he is not (atleast not in every aspect). Teaches less and tells stories about random stuff more. Not as professional as I would expected him to be.
Professor Henry Mckelvey is very good professor. He is a knowlegable person , i personally call him google of IT . He has a very good answers of all the questions. It my pleasure to have a professor like him .
Amazing professor!!
Thanks Professor. You are awesome and taught us many things.
The Professor has a good knowledge of teaching us, but he gives a lot of assignments, where you cant even concentrate on other works, but still it was helpful and interesting. He grades fair. I had no idea about the linux initially now i learned a lot about it thanks to the tons of lab works that he gave. But he can little generous.
His knowledge on the subject is excellent, but the way he keep rules regarding submission of assignmenta is very difficult.
It has been great learning experience and I had fun taking this class.
availability outside of class required participation
I'd want to express my gratitude to Prof. Henry for his efforts, devotion, assurance, and hard work. I admire his dedication to our growth, learning interactions, and achievement and, most importantly, you typically show restraint us all. Professor, thank you so much.
Professor Henry McKelvey's dedication and patience to teach is really commendable. I have never seen any Professor, willing so much to get student to learn and explore concepts that will be useful for careers. Good: You will definitely learn new concepts. Real time/hands on experience. Bad: Does not give a detailed class schedule ahead.
It was great experience working with the Prof Henry Mckelvey. I did not know i could learn and do this much stuff before i took this course. I gained confidence in me after this course. Prof has a clear vision on what he expects from the students. I cant thank enough our professor for being so supportive.
This was one of the finest and greatest class ever. If I had learned python in my life, the credit goes to Prof Henry McKelvy. He took extra steps to make sure that we learned the essential basic foundation of the language and use it to practically hack as a cyber professional. Thanks
Apart from having mastery of the subject, Prof McKelvey was always available to provide support to students to help them accomplish class activities and assignments.
Great Man who gives his live to teaching
I'm not sure from where this Professor has 4.9 stars. Henry McKelvey is condescending. His class would be him talking 50 % about life lecture and explaining why he is the way he is. Assignments are repetitive, he would make you write a book review after you already answer 3 discussion questions about the same topic. you would never be good enough
He is a great professor with qualitative knowledge.
Professor Henry McKelvey is awesome. He is tough and puts lots of assignments but he is always there for student to help. He organizes extra help classes, if needed and provides additional recordings to help with lab assignments.
During the whole two hours of the classes , professor Henry was lecturing nonstop with many amazing facts and sharing his interesting experiences. Really informative class.
This professor is the best as he is always interested in the learning for students. He takes extra classes in order to teach and clear our doubts. Always helpful and motivating professor. But also gives a lot of homework.
Professor Henry McKelvey was the best!! Thank you so much
I have learned so much in my classes with Professor Henry. He paces the class just right so you feel challenged but not overwhelmed. So many other classes you just read from a text book but in his classes Professor Henry asks questions and gets the students to respond which is both fun and promotes faster learning.
The professor's professional abilities were outstanding. The professor was very knowledgeable and organized when presenting the material. He was able to break down complex material into easy-to-understand chunks and provided examples to help students better understand the concepts.
Although I fell behind, I did like how he set up the curriculum. At first it seems like the assignments repeat themselves but it really helps you continue to read over the topics being explored and retain the information.
No lecture, no group project, more paper than course syllabus
A great online learning experience furthering my understanding of cybersecurity. I enjoyed the reading and discussions, labs and case studies which gave me the opportunity to gain knowledge beyond the scope of the text. I did not enjoy summaries and review questions which were more like "busy work" even though they were considered "muscle memory".
It was a difficult class for me, but the textbook kept me busy. I have never taken anything on cyber security so it was a learning experience. The assignments were detailed and informative. I hope to use everything I've learned here in my line of work. Thank you
The most work you'll have to do in an online class.
Professor Henry is an exceptional educator whose strictness and emphasis on meeting deadlines have taught me the importance of punctuality in academia and the professional world. His unmatched subject knowledge, inspiring personal interactions, and invaluable career advice have left a lasting impact on me.
Henry Mckelvey is a very tough professor and with him get ready to read and read. I like his way of teaching and impress with how he gives assignments that looks repeatedly. This improve my reading skills and it also improve my research skills as well. Thank you prof.
The class workload was definitely a lot. There were not any tests just papers, in my personal opinion I feel like I could have learned more by studying the chapters and taking tests.
He is a great professor and very professional. Just the workload was alot and alot of papers.
This was a very good class provided information that I was not aware of for online computer security. I have gathered another great learning experience in my educational journey. (could not select the correct course code CBSC310:7)
This professor is professional and understanding. The material was easily understood, and there is room for questions when necessary.
He is very good and very responsive and would love to take other classes with this one
be ready to work hard and turn work in on time and late work accepted at all.
Professor McKelvey is extremely knowledgeable and this course is a great learning opportunity whether you are in your first IT class, or if you already have experience in the IT field. He does give a LOT of assignments, but he is very responsive when you have questions. I think I emailed him every week and he responded each time.
Professor Henry , Was the most tough professor I have seen till now in Potomac , I loved the way of his teaching & he quickly recognize things & ask you questions for the same . I really enjoyed his class . thank you so much professor for this class .
Great Professor! Always replies on time.
One of the best professors I've had throughout all my courses at the University of the Potomac. He consistently responds promptly to emails and texts, unlike some other staff and professors at Potomac. I always recommend him for a better understanding of the course material, improved grades, and as an excellent mentor.
The professor was great at teaching. Their unique approach made the course enjoyable and easy to understand. Material needs clarity and updates. Better directions for assignments would have minimized confusion.
Professor has been an exceptional guide throughout the semester, demonstrating a profound understanding of the subject matter and a genuine passion for teaching. I truly appreciate the knowledge and enthusiasm Professor brought to the classroom, fostering a stimulating and enriching learning environment.
The material is clear and understandable. The course is very essay-intensive every week.
I would like others students to know that Professor McKelvey is a professor that is dependable, strict, and a great teacher. He does give a lot of work but it is for your benefit so that you are getting your moneys worth in knowledge.
He is a great Professor. He knows his craft.
Excellent teaching skills. And deep knowledge in all topics he teaches. Very experienced.
be prepared to do a lot of work and during class to have hands on work . Honestly the professor knows his work and likes a lot of effort from his student
Professor Henry McKelvey is exceptionally supportive and responsive, readily offering assistance and guidance to students who may struggle to grasp complex topics. His adeptness as an advisor shines through in his prompt and insightful responses, making him a valuable mentor for students seeking clarity and direction.
An Excellent Proffessor
Sir is amazing nd I learnt a lot nd get knowledge more about this subject , nd if I get chance to learn more I'll , and thank you so much sir
One thing I wanna say is that you can learn many things from his class not just the subject. Thank you professor.
This man should not even be teaching in a classroom, he does not know what it is to be a professor, you are supposed to provide mentorship to students, not drain them, the material you used for the class was all the way back from 2010 or something, you dont even have the courtesy of changing the date. doesnt read assignment, never again
The Professor has extensive knowledge of the course. He breaks down the concepts into simpler terms. He presents the course in a structured and logical manner. He is easy to understand, detailed, and accessible. You have a whole lot to learn from him. The style of teaching is fabulous.
Professor Henry McKelvey is really a knowledgeable person. He not just follow the course syllabus but also provides real time examples. He always make sure every student is participated, allows us to give feedback. Overall, he serves best to the students. I feel honored to be his student, gain knowledge from him and I wish to be his student again.
If you are obtaining degree but your first priority is work and life, then you better off avoiding professor McKelvey's courses. You will only stress out having miserable time because of insane amount of assignments and professor's stubbornness around the deadlines. If degree is your only priority and you have nothing else, you should be alright.

Follow instructions, do and submit assignments on time
Professor was Excellent
Great Professor! I love how he gave feedback and the challenges he gave us during this course. It pushed me to research and turn my papers in on time. The lessons were very informative and thorough. I learned a lot of things I didn't know just by doing papers. I would recommend this professor to anyone who likes to be challenged in school. Thanks!
Amazing professor, I'd like to study again with this professor
I want to thank Professor McKelvey for his effort and guidance throughout the course.
Professor McKelvey was excellent. I gained a lot of knowledge about this course, and he kept us motivated while broadening our perspective in the field. We also had hands-on experience with the concepts we learned over the weeks. This experience was amazing, and I hope I have the opportunity to work with Mr. McKelvey again in the future.
The professor is awesome! I loved his delivery of content. He is very insightful and challenges you to do more research. He's well-informed and prompts his students to contribute to his class which makes it an interesting learning environment. I would want to take his class again.
He is good professor very helpful
i think that he really helped to improve my skills he is really good to be honest
He is a very detail oriented professor. I totally enjoyed this class. I would take this course over again.
Strict, but understanding. So do your assignments on time.
To be sincere, at first I would describe Professor Henry as strict and rigid. However, these ideas are totally wrong, they are just assumptions I made because of the initial response I got from him. Professor Henry is just disciplined not strict, I love his stories and the little jokes, makes 4 hours classes seems like it's 4 minutes.
He is a very polite, respectful, and hard-working professor who focuses on providing clear information and understanding about topics. He prioritizes the contents that can be applied in both theoretical and practical life. Likewise, he is always open to questions and helps to solve any queries related to the courses.
Professor Henry McKelvey may be tough and assigns a lot of work, but he's fair and genuinely willing to help you understand the material.
Honestly, one word comes to mind—passionate. Prof. McKelvey really cares about his students. At first, I was like, “Why are we doing all this reading and writing?” But looking back, I actually retained so much. It all paid off, and I'm genuinely proud of the effort I put in.
Mr. Mckelvey was strict but fair. I learned alot
He is strict because he wants his student to work not only to passed or complete the assignment or activities but to really understand it. He is the type of Professor that cares about the students and ensure that they really understand the lecture or the material. He is strict but with good intentions and will guide you through of your need help.
