Joe Cash hasn't got a clue about people skills- If you take his class, chances are that he will embarass or berate you at least once or twice. Worse yet, everything he attempts to teach in class is never useful for tests, which are irrelevant.

The class was easy for me, but a lot of people struggled because in class he would just go over the homework or the tests. I think he lectured maybe 3 days out of the semester. If you ask him a question, he'll go one for like an hour and still not have answer your question but if you read the book, it's easy and his assignments are easy.

He's alright. He uses MyLabIT, a Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint simulation. Class is asynchronous. Everything is due at the end of the semester but do NOT leave it for the end. This class takes a LOT of time to complete. If you work extra hard you can finish his class 1-2 months early. I finished 2 weeks early and went at a normal speed.

I enjoyed this professor's class. Everything was online and you could access all the assignments from the beginning of the semester. I finished the course 2 months early to focus on my other classes. The class can be time-consuming, but it is easy if you follow all the assignments and instructions provided in the assignments. Highly recommend!

Prof. Cash is fair in that he communicates precisely with a comprehensive syllabus. But his massive weakness is that the syllabus is not user friendly, at all. He is painfully particular about email. The course is a slog and requires extreme discipline. If you're someone who falls behind on assignments, DO NOT take this course. It is not an easy A.

If you are a really good at turning in hw in a timely manner, this course is for you. Homework was due once a week and assignments ranged from 1-3 hours depending on the chapter. It can be a bit tedious since its online. You work at your own pace as long as you meet deadlines. It does require self-discipline, but I would definitely take it again.

I took this class during the summer session. It was a bit difficult to manage while taking other classes, but I got it done. I imagine this class is easier to complete during a regular semester. I believe the syllabus was very helpful and answered all my questions. This class is fair and easy if you put the work in!

I would never take this class again. I have not had a social life at all this semester because this class has taken up so much of my time. It is through Pearson and each assignment can take hours to complete. A few of my classmates and myself have had a couple breakdowns because of this course lol.

I took his computer science course online. It was asynchronous, and everything was due early in the semester. It was stressful with lots of glitches on the Pearson website, but I ended up finishing the course in three weeks with A. I was able to focus on my other courses and have an easy semester, so that was awesome.

Joe Cash does not use Canvas. He makes an unimpressive website where he posts the work for the semester. All of the work is done through Pearson. This includes Microsoft Word/Excel/PowerPoint lessons. They are not hard, but they are insanely tedious. They take HOURS to complete and are a waste of time. Easy class but too much busy work.

I would never recommend this class. The professor is condescending and rude when approached by email, does not provide any guidance when asked, nor does he use Canvas. The computer access and textbook was very expensive, and all assignments are tedious and finnicky.

Like everyone else says he is rude, not accessible, nor is he understanding. He doesn't use Canvas, has an outdated syllabus (that is 31 pages long), and refuses to speak to you if you need any help at all. The course itself is self paced and easy, just time consuming as there are 78 assignments that are tedious to do.

Do not take this professor. ALL busy work, includes about 6-8 hrs of tedious work per week. Take another professor or another class that fits the requirement. Online book he uses is almost 200$, and he does not want to be bothered with ANYTHING. BEWARE!

This course requires strict time management and self-discipline, but it's doable if you stay on top of the work. The assignments can be time-consuming, but using study tools like unstuck ai can help you prepare efficiently. Overall, it's a fair class if you put in the effort.

NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I EVER PAID MONEY TO BE TREATED LIKE AN IDIOT. THIS INSTRUCTOR NOT ONLY USES OUT OF DATE PROGRAMMING FOR HIS CURRICULUM, HE HAS ZERO INTERACTION WITH HIS STUDENTS AND IF YOU EMAIL HIM, HE WILL BE CONDESENDING AND NOT OFFER HELP, ANSWER A QUESTION, OR SUPPORT YOU IN ANY WAY.. UNACCEPTABLE TREATMENT HE IS CHARGED TO SERVE!

The entire course is taught by the textbook program. The teacher doesn't do any lectures or anything. The course teaches you though an emulation program that is simple enough if you're already familiar with Microsoft office but if you aren't already decent with these programs take the course with a different teacher.

this class has so many bad reviews,but its not even bad.Self-paced and easy, the professor was easy to reach although the syllabus really does have everything.I finished the class early, the assignments can be annoying and tedious, but overall very easy class. Only thing that threw me off was that there's no canvas, but you really don't need it.

Fully online course where you use Pearson to learn all about using excel, word, PowerPoint. We was prompt and easy to communicate with if you followed his detailed intro. Hard to navigate the intro and syllabus though. Make sure you know what you're getting into before taking the course.

Very much do it yourself class. Homework was very easy, unlimited tries, and you can definitely finish the class early. Ratings scared me but I would honestly take again, really liked the way he did the class. Textbook/hw is a bit pricey but worth it because its so easy and you can finish super early in the semester.

My first encounter with him was cold—he referred me to the 32-page syllabus when I asked for an access code. No office hours, and the class isn't on Canvas. The upside: you work at your own pace. I finished a month early by studying 6 hours a week and meeting a tutor. The physical book really helped. If you're self-motivated, this class works well.

I wish I can tell you if he's a great professor or not, but unfortunately was dropped from his class, no reason was given. He emailed me that the class was going to be a hybrid class (shorter), so after a month I emailed him that when did class start because on the system is says it's a regular class. I never got a response and then I was dropped.
