His voice is soothing and he is a very funny prof. He explains things well and his tests arent horrible..overall the material is hard so he does what he can to work with it.

tends to ramble and class can be dull, but you have plenty of opportunities to get points with in class extra credit, online quizzes, and labs/reports (if you put honest effort into them) easy A if you go to class and study

I love MP. He is the greatest teacher ever. He has a good sense of humor. Class is easy. Take itttt!!

Mark is a great teacher. Makes a mandatory class easy. Its an easy A with some effort. I didnt even need to take the final and got an easy A. I highly recommend this class.

Extremely boring class, but he does the best I think is possible with the material. Work is easy, and the mandatory attendance is no big deal.

he is a great teacher, however, after first 3 weeks of school i hardly made it to class b/c it was a 9:30 class and all the notes were online (thank god). STUDY THE REVIEW SHEET/QUESTIONS-the final was basically everything from those study guides. no need to go to class-just study & make sure you do the posts on blackboard!!

You only have to attend 16 out of 24 classes. Weekly open note online quizzes (easy). The tests are pretty damn hard, with averages of C. The projects require a TON of work. I mean a TON. I spent on average eight hours per project.

Great professor, really knows his stuff. Lots of experience in the outside world that adds a wealth of knowledge to his lectures. Listen up you kids just out of HS - you could learn what business is REALLY like. Attend class, get good grades on the quizzes, go to flexlab for help with projects and assume a low grade on the tests. Got an A anyway.

THIS CLASS IS AN EASY A and the teacher you get doesn't matter. Easy quizzes, 4 out of 5 projects are easy, but tests are pretty hard. You only have to go to 16/24 classes. DON'T BOTHER TAKING NOTES OR READING THE BOOK

EASY. Projects require some work but its just busy work. quizzes are easy, tests are fairly easy as long as you look over the reviews. Free reviews the night before as well. He is pretty funny and is way more interesting than the other MIS 111 teacher.

GO TO FLEX LABS! They almost do your project for you! If you don't get an A in this class then something is wrong with you. If you do your work you get an A. I got under a 50% on all three test and STILL got an A! Go to class, do the online quizzes (find a friend in class and switch answers!), do projects AND EXTRA CREDIT, don't study for tests.

I had him for MIS 111 freshmen class, and I thought he was the most boring teacher all year. And the tests were really hard, But the projects were the most important for your grade and if you got help at the flex labs you would do fine, I had a friend help me with mine so i did ok. but A horrible way to start the year. DO not buy book. waste.

Funny guy w/ sense of humor! Attendence Mandatory! (check in & out) Projects-easy-and i am not tech. savy-(JUST START EARLY)-- Test are hard! But he posts the previous tests online, which really HELPS!--I dont know what they were talking about w/ not using the book. YOU NEED the book for ONLINE quizzes!! You can def. get an A!

If you are a business major you have to take this class anyway. Here's how to get an A: Show up to all the class sections(you get points for coming to class), study for exams by using previous exams(youll find those on ereserves)--same questions just different order, take online quizzes in groups, and try your best on projects. not hard.

Easy pre-req. gives you the old tests to study, everyone cheats on the quizzes and projects. if you don't get an A you should be ashamed of yourself.

Not the most interesting class, but all you have to do to get an A is show up to class, do the projects on time, and study for the tests by memorizing the answers from previous tests. It's hard NOT to get an A in the class!

good. easy if you put in some time studying.

He's pretty good. Just make sure to go to class, go to flexlabs for projects, and just memorize previous tests. I never really understood the class but if you do this you're sure to get an A.

GO TO FLEX LABS! Easy points. The tests are hard, but all the homework makes up for it. Overall easy class, teacher's great too.

Both of the MIS teachers do the exact same material in their classes. Always willing to answer questions. There are sort 10 question online quizzes every other week. Projects are the most difficult part in the class. All of the old Exams are posted Blackboard so if you study those your fine.

Patton has a lot of good real life experiences to share. He is a great teacher and offers a wide range of information that is very useful for future jobs. Be aware that when it comes to projects and requirements and any type of instructions, he fails horribly. He has to push things back to stay on time because he didn't make up GOOD instructions

Fun class, tests aren't too hard. Lectures are pretty entertaining.

This class was really hard when I took it, but it sounds like he's lightened up a bit. projects were hard but are actually useful skills to have.

The class is easy enough but it's becoming increasingly hard to sit in class. When he lectures he sounds like he's yelling at you, which makes me want to tune him out. Besides the clicker questions (which track your attendance), I don't gain anything that I wouldn't have by studying the slides myself.

This class was very chill and clear. If you go to class and study for exams, there is no reason why you should not earn an A or B. I definitely reccommend him as a teacher.

Only have to attend 75% of classes for full points. He fluctuates his voice between a whisper & yell. His PowerPoints are usually helpless so look at the In-Class notes made by the TAs. Do all the extra credit you can! You can opt out of the case competition for an extra exam, which EXACT questions from exams 1 & 2, so study from those.

Patton is pretty funny but it's dry humor so if that ain't your thang then you won't like it. Anyway, assignments are pretty straightforward and there's a lot of extra credit. Do the case comp, it's an easy A

Patton is great. He knows his stuff and covers everything well. Always willing to help with any concerns. And he is funny as hell. His dry humor makes the class enjoyable.

I learned more in his course than any other courses by far. He definitely knows his stuff, and has the credentials to back it. I would recommend anyone take any class with him. Office hours are great, and you will definitely get a lot more out of it if you do so.

He literally takes a whole minute to say 10 words. He talks so slow and goes off on never ending tangents. He thinks he's funny because he mumbles curse words every once in a while, but it's actually annoying because it just further wastes time. I'm only taking his class because I'm prebusiness and it's mandatory.

I really enjoyed taking his class and listening to his lectures! He speaks very clearly and keeps the material relevant and relatable to society today.

Thought the class was super easy cause I payed attention and did all my homework on time. The tests were super easy, if you studied the previous exams. This class might have also been easy cause I am a senior in Computer Science, but non the less if you do your work and keep tract during the semester this class forsure is an easy A.

Listen in class, stay on top of PARs and ABPs and youll be fine

He makes the lecture interesting and he's good at explaining things as well.

Great Professor, cares about what he teaches and very helpful. The class is easy just do your assignments on time and go to class to get attendance points. I went to the office hours once and he was really helpful and patient and made everything I did not understand clear. Highly recommended.

3/4 tests, 3 projects, hw quizzes & in-class assignments. Attempt to do every single ICQ & PAR b/c tests consist of questions from them. Project instructions can be confusing but they are easy. You are graded more on completion than quality.

For the most part I think Dr. Patton is a decent professor. He does kinda act like he is better than you, which I don't agree with, but again my opinion. He is super cool and his class is always fun. He is not boring and the workload isn't hours and hours of work. He is helpful when it comes to ABP and case analysis questions. He is overall cool

Mark is super cool and funny. This class is huge and there is virtually no personal connection with any of the "instructional team". But, Matt's lectures are very fun to watch. Loved seeing his dogs and zoom backgrounds.

Mis 111, aw what can i say? The grading curve was rigged. 2nd comment: i got a new truck that year with a lego engine. Took this class 5 times every 10 years. Try to build power! Lastlety: a bat came out of a pool ounce and asked if i was his father. I responded, 'i do not like the sun.' The teacher of mis 111 was a strong grader.

This is a very easy class if you just do the work. There are about 6 quizzes per week but answers are usually on quizlet (5 questions each, no time limit, 2 attempts). There are 6 projects, which are time-consuming but pretty straightforward. Attendance wasn't mandatory (lectures posted on D2L). There were 3 exams, with 50 questions in 50 minutes.

MIS111 is a very easy class if you put in a little effort. Almost all of the answers to the quizzes are on Quizlet. There is usually some reading, a topic overview lecture, and a 5 question quiz before class, and then another 5 question quiz after the in-person lecture. No need to show up to class and Dr. Patton was a good teacher.

Dr. Patton is a good professor; he can be funny at times too. MIS111 is boring and the homework is tedious, though very easy. Put in a little bit of effort and you'll pass with an A. Google will be your best friend. I wouldn't worry about this class being difficult.

This class is super obnoxious and outdated, but Dr. Patton tries to make it somewhat bearable. Can be monotone, but he's fairly easy to work with. Overall, it's easy enough to pass (google's your friend), though the big projects don't seem to relate and aren't really taught in class. Class itself is useless, but profs are nice enough.

Slightly prefer Patton to Nuemann. He injects a bit more personality into the otherwise dry lectures and was always nice when addressing issues during office hours. MIS 111 can feel like a very pointless class at times because of all the different topics covered but it's ridiculously simple and easy from quizzes to tests to projects. Easy A.

Cool guy is you get to know him. MIS111 is not a fun class. Go to his office hours if he's in the mood he's a fun guy to talk to about tech and business.

He's the best you're going to get for MIS 111, so be thankful on the days he gives lectures. You can tell he has a good sense of humor, and tries to bring the boring, outdated slides to life. Attendance is completely optional, and not really needed to do well. Business projects are lengthy, but easy as long as you follow the instructions.

The MIS111 lectures can be a bit dry, but Professor Patton brings some personality to the otherwise outdated material. The projects are challenging but manageable with the right resources, like Unstuckstudy and the textbook.

MIS111 is ridiculously easy to pass, so it doesn't really matter who the professor is. Still, Dr. Patton's an engaging speaker and is pretty relaxed overall. He does tend to spend a while on the first half of his lectures, suddenly realize he spent too much time, then zoom through the rest of it. Still, he clearly cares about what he teaches.
