Juan is a great guy, and someone I wouldn't mind seeing outside of class. But as an instructor, he is lacking in many areas. His teaching style is not appealing to the students and his lectures go off topic far too often, with little cohesiveness between lectures/chapters. Perhaps that's a problem with the MIS textbook, but it is still a problem.

Nit-picky marker who is unnecessarily punishing when it comes to grading. He uses a system to grade tests where if you get a question correct on exams it will earn you 1 point, but if you get that same question wrong, he will deduct 5 points. He knocks 20% (a full letter grade) off for a single mistake in assignments with 25+ steps. Awful.

Juan is extremely strict when it comes to attendance and being late. He does not tolerate any cheating. He is a nice person, but if you cheat be ready. I have seen students crying after they try to justify cheating. He has traveled all over the world, and he uses examples from his trips to illustrate points.

he is in his own world where he thinks he is the best and that whatever grades he gives on assignments is right. he just makes his own things to stay relevant while teaching easy courses at bit. Arrogant and uncompetitive prof not to mention half of the time

Prof Juan Azmita iis very pleasant. However; if you cheat on his class, he will fail you. I saw many students crying because he caught them cheating on the exam. I don't have a problem with him, average professor. He can track all your moves online. Amazing at showing how we leave a digital footprint on everything we do online.

This online course was well structured. A couple of videos had sound problems. Read the book, and do the assignments and you will pass. I met him only twice (midterm and final exam). Juan seems to be very strict. He started the midterm and final on the dot. I don't know how, but he can see what people are doing on the computers.

Juan gives weekly assignments. Be prepare to spend at least 2 or 3 hours. He gives time to work in class; however, it is not enough. His lectures are good. Very interactive. Juan has no patience for people who cheat in his class. The class is very easy, just time consuming.

The course itself is boring. Juan has a tone of videos to make it easier to understand. 10 long assignments, midterm and final. He has eyes everywhere on the exam. He had another instructor who was pretending to be a student. Don't trust who is seating next to you.

Professor Juan Azmitia uses a lot of examples from the news and from Canadian companies.His classes at night end up until the very end of the session. Don't be late to his class; you will lose marks.

Professor Juan is thoughtful about his students. The book can be heavy, but to make it easy to digest he shares YouTube videos, different relevant articles and government information. He makes jokes during the class to keep our attention and shares his different experiences to provide examples about the class chapter. Thank you Juan :)

He seems to be extremely harsh and strict, but he is the nicest professor I have had at BCIT. He was extremely helpful during the semester. He offered alternatives to me to write the final exam. I was dealing with cancer treatment; and he went the extra mile to accommodate. Very inspirational.

Juan is the nicest professor I had at BCIT; however, he gets extremely mad when people cheat on his exams. He has eyes everywhere. Classes are interactive, but if you are shy, you will suffer. He asks a lot of questions to the students.

I just finished the Final Exam. Go over his slides and you will pass. Time is tight. Make sure you practice all your MS Excel. He evaluates heavily on Time and Date Functions. The last portion of the class can be used to complete homework; sometimes 45 minutes sometimes one hour.

Mr. Asmitia tells you in his lectures what he is going to ask you on the exam. When he says; "this will be on the exam"; make sure you take notes. Open book, open internet exams. MS Excel is complicated, but he explains it very well. Assignments are long.

Professor Azmitia is knowledgeable but lacks effective communication and support for students. His teaching style is unclear, and requests for help were often ignored or delayed. The course schedule was not provided on time, and the overall classroom environment felt unwelcoming and disrespectful. This made the learning experience difficult.

Be prepared to spend at least 3 hours to complete you homework. Juan gives you time during the Lab to do part of it. The course is easy, but you need to know your MS Excel. After the midterm the course gets complicated. Juan will lecture concepts that are not on the book.
