Good programmer, really cares and wants his students to do well. He is always available even around midnight on the night before a test. Only take his class if you already have a decent grip on the material.

Very good programmer, has a sence of humor and gives easy tests. Always available

Pretty interesting assignments. Tests arent bad. Very helpful when you need him.

Take him for programming courses, he practically does your assignments if you go see him and tests/projects are fairly easy. I would suggest you have a little programming knowledge before you take the class though. I took VB and ASP, got 3.7 in both.

This guy is good if you are good with computers/programming. He is strange in that he is almost always on AIM even at weird times like 2 in the morning. I reccomend the class the assignments are pretty easy.

Kind of a strange guy. He's really into using technology in every aspect possible. Likes the power of being a teacher. Assignments range from average to difficult. Is definetly always availible for help, be it on AIM (at 3 AM) or in his office. I would reccomend.

If you are good with computers, TAKE this 101. It's actually EASIER than the regular 101s because you have so little work to do, but he teaches a lot in class - you learn Visual Basic.Net, HTML, a little JavaScript. All in all a pretty good class, if you want to learn.

I highly recommend the course if you would rather learn by doing than reading, as there is virtually no outside reading to do. All of your assignments are based off of what you do in class, and the Pocket PCs are a better investment than any IT book. Frydenberg is strange, but he's a nice fellow.

Nice guy but goes a little fast at time. Not too much hw other than projects. Tests are okay if you study a bit the night before. No outside reading but class is a must. Helpful outside of class but kind of dorky. Nice guy, funny. Overall, I recommend.

Frydenberg is the man. If you go to class and pay atention it's an automatic 4.0. the Projects are fairly easy and in the advanced clas there is less work then the regular class. He never checks homework and always lets students use notes on exams. He is always online (even at 3 am) and willing to help with any of the assignments.

You need to give Frydenberg credit for wearing the sync cables around his neck and giving us free (though sometimes useless) Microsoft products. He's obviously really into the subject matter. He's available all the time, in the office, on aim, or wherever. Compared to what I hear, the extensive session is easier than the regular session.

Really qwirky quy. His teaching style is very hands on. I didn't put much work into the class, and I'm expecting a 3.7 or 4.0. Some of the other kids in the class did alot more work and did worse. I would take his class for sure.

it was chill

talks really fast and waits for no one, but knows what he's doing and is pretty willing to help you. but the x class is a waste - we didn't use it as much as i thought. and he expects you do to large assignments fairly quickly.

Good Professor. Too many assignments at one time. Gets confusing... Easy tests and homeworks.

Frydenberg is awesome! Sometimes he goes way too fast in class but if you ask him for help he will help you. Easily accessible outside of class. Easy grader. Plays favorites but likes everyone. He gives tons of tips and ways of doing things that you will remember forever. I highly recommend him. He's nice and knows a lot about what he does.

Good easy class. Plays favorites. He has AIM also, and he is on at like 5 in the morning sometimes. Doesn't really know as much as it seems that he does. I would avoid his office hours because he makes it hard and awkward to leave.

Really nice guy, and really easy class. He does have a tendency to assign too many things at once, but he's so lenient about due dates and grading that it doesn't matter.

Okay. I am not the best at computers at all and did well. You have to put in the work for this class or you will do bad. Alot of projects but they are really helpful. Alot of IT majors don't work with the programs I did,so very useful. Class can be boring so put your aim on silent. Easy grader and a nice guy. Will offer help if requested. Recommend

I took the technology intensive IT course (IT101x) Interesting class. Teaches a lot of cool stuff about the internet and whatnot. Not hard at all, but there are a lot of projects and a decent amount of homework. No homework is hard though, just somewhat time consuming. I recommend this class.

I took the technology intensive, but it really wasn't hard at all. If you know even a little bit about computers take the intensive because you'll learn more and still get a 4.0.

His class specializes in Web 2.0 and the downloading/use of worthless applications. However, he does communicate fairly well, and is more than willing to meet with and help students.

Loved this class, pretty easy even for the technology intensive version. He's always accessible via twitter, aim, email whatever even at 2am when you're getting his assignment done last minute. Utilizes technology to its potential and makes the class enjoyable. Can be slightly boring at times, but all in all a great class and a great professor.

Prob best of IT teachers. Most of the class is spent downloading and using web 2.0 programs. You can sit in class and play poker or w/e and still get a 4.0 if your not retarded with comps. If you don't get some of the stuff he is very helpful in his office hours. I would recommend him and the course, x really isn't that hard

VERY nice (neeerdy) guy. I bet got picked on a lot in school. Highly recommend dropping by for office hours. The IT101x course is actually easier than 101. He spends most of class time showing us his favorite websites. You'll probably need to teach yourself a lot, but it's all easy material. EASY 4.0. Great for a break in the middle of the day.

Really, this guy isn't bad at all. Its an exploratory course into new web applications. Just show some enthusiasm for facebook and twitter and talk to him about cool Web 2.0 sites/concepts you heard about. He'll love it and will make the class more interesting. Yes, he's awkward, but don't take that as intimidating. Overall, good guy, easy grade.

This professor was awesome, you just had to get his humor. Ya he's vague sometimes but its the internet..there's a solution to everything out there for any question he asks and as long as you participate and show enthusiasm he let us change around certain assignments etc. I highly recommend

Great guy, if you are remotely computer literate before this class, you can pass it with just about no effort. He spends much of class showing you his favorite web sites and teaching random stuff. For the most part, you are left to figure out the excel assignments (which aren't hard). Definitely take him, he is a great prof.

A pretty good professor. He is very passionate about what he teaches and it comes accross during class. You'll work relatively hard, but he is very fair with his grading. Take him

Most of the grades are things done out of class, and it's pretty easy. Excel isn't hard to pick up, and that's what the class mostly consists of. We also made gamesapps which was pretty fun (not hard, don't worry). I did hate a project where we had to work with Romanians, but I guess we had WAY more time than we needed to do it so I can't complain

I'm already a tech nerd, so Frydenberg was like the brother of my soul. He's great; makes weird jokes then laughs at them, and you can tell he loves everything he's talking about. Everything you learn in the class is useful, and he's a very fair grader. Basically, you show up and you pass.

hes cool

Frydenberg is a really chill guy and very up to date on his technology. We went on a field trip to the Microsoft Center which no other professors did. There are lots of extra credit opportunities and he replies very fast to emails. Overall this class is super easy as long as you are some knowledge of computers.

Professor Frydenberg gives a couple frustrating group projects, but other than that he is alright. You learn a lot of useful stuff between Excel and HTML and there was a pretty cool trip to an Amazon testing center. If you do all the work you should get a high grade. Final and midterm are rough with the SAM program but he curved them nicely.

Not a difficult class but a lot of projects and assignments that come up from nowhere. No open book on the final so that sucks a bit.

One characteristics of him attracts me the most, professor Mark is kind and gives understanding to things. I had issues in the final examination and told the professor about the flaws and trouble I had, understanding was given, a redo opportunity was given. He is responsible and understanding, he tries to help his students.

The class is good, except for the Romanian student project which such an unnecessary pain. Frydenberg knows his stuff and as long as you do everything a 3.7/4.0 is manageable. Some of the random assignments come out of nowhere, but they really are not that hard. The excel stuff that we learn is probably the biggest takeaway from the class.

Frydenberg is very enthusiastic about teaching and it shows. Pretty good job at explains Excel concepts with follow along demonstrations. Romania project isnt as bad as people say but he is very unorganized. Rubric for the project isnt chronological and doesnt have clear deliverables. Overall class pretty disorganized too but fun enough.

Professor Frydenberg is an excellent professor, he genuinely cares about his students learning and it shows. He runs the Sandbox and also gets published by Cengage (super smart guy).

Professor Frydenberg was a great professor, but beware that he does like to randomly call on you in class, so make sure you do the discussion posts and are actually paying attention. He is very kind during office hours and really wants to get to know his students. He is very patient and lenient when it comes to deadlines, but is a harsh grader.

Pretty sure he's the department chair, so take him if you want to really learn, as I can say I learned more with him than those who took CS230 w/others. It took hours more in weekly work, but I went from knowing nothing about python to being a decent coder now. Final project for CS230 is resume worthy. Very cool class + professor, would take again!

One of the most unorthodox professors I've ever had. He isn't great on assigning work however he does understand if you are late. His blackboard is all over the place but he's funny and entertaining, pretty awkward dude in all but I like him.

Great professor would definitely recommend. He genuinely cares about his students, and he made the class relatively easy. Definitely very accessible after class, responds to messages just about instantly. Even in the night, and on the weekend. If you have questions or concerns he will walk you through them all.

There were alot of assignments but were pretty easy. I was confused with an assignment and I emailed him at 11pm and he responded and jumped on a zoom call with me to help. He really cares about his students.

Professor Frydenberg's class is extremely easy. He is a relatively laid back professor, with a good amount of flexibility. His class seemed relatively pointless at times, but overall super easy if you do the work.

He did a great job in teaching the class and you can tell that he knew all of the content. He put us in groups all the time to work through problems and did a good job of explaining things. Not the best when it comes to giving feedback, but when it comes to teaching the subject, he knows what he's talking about!

Prof Frydenberg isn't the best at lecturing, but outside of class, he is a great person to talk to and can help you when needed. I found the first half of the class to be very easy, but once the second half started, difficulty picked up. 2 quizzes with lockdown browser, 4 program assignments, and a final project that you can put on your resume.

Professor Frydenberg is very sweet and nice to talk to. He's a little bit scatter-brained, but it's a non-issue. Tests are beyond easy. Just work hard on the projects.

Don't get all the 230 hate, the class was hard and had WAY too many assignments; but Frydenberg did his best to accomodate students. Everytime I reached out, he was happy to explain a topic and was generous with giving extensions as he too understood the workload of the course. He would get back to me on Teams fast too. Great teacher, awful course

While the lectures can be a bit rushed, Prof. Frydenberg is very knowledgeable and willing to help outside of class. The assignments get challenging, but using Unstuck ai and the free textbook can make a big difference. Overall, a rewarding course for those willing to put in the work.
