He practically did the entire excel project for you - gave the formulas, etc. (something the other professors for this section don't really do). The other projects were also easy - a letter in word and PPT presentation. If you show interest, you will definitely make an A. Try to choose a good group though. Never studied for any exams, got an A.

Professor Perry quite frankly, likes to hear himself speak. All of his power points are outdated, boring, and quite frankly, unnecessary He is very vague about the projects.

Save yourself and don't take this man. No guidance, gives horrible instructions, meaningless projects, gives out bad grades for literally no reason. Expect to be assigned a project and have 8 different "instruction" pages that don't actually tell you anything! Avoid him. I'm serious. Otherwise you will deeply regret your decision.

The course itself really is not that difficult, but the the class unfortunately is due to Prof. Perry. Projects are very confusing, gives undeserving poor grades, not easy to communicate with, etc. Way too much nonsense in this course. This class would sometimes make me so angry that I would hold my farts in just to release them during our meetings

No guidance, literally like 7 different instruction pages for each project (no I'm not joking) and none of them work, silly projects, ridiculous amount of goofy work, group projects over and over, failed several assignments for literally no reason. Seemed like a pretty nice dude, but his teaching skills and class setup were... lets just say subpar

Don't take if you have the option. Rubrics for assignments are super detailed, yet vague at the same time leading to confusion. Cost me a letter grade for a small detail on my final project.

Im surprised prof perry has bad ratings. I took his IS class online and it was one of the easiest classes i've taken so far. tests are not lockdown, and are very straightforward. there is one group project and the whole concept is easy. he puts a lot of detail into grading and his instructions but its really not hard at all to get an A.

DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER!!! I am about 3 weeks into this course and it is more difficult than my three other classes COMBINED. Get ready for excruciating weekly assignments PLUS homework on McGraw Hill that has no clear instruction or due dates. If you want to live in constant distress by all means take his class.

Professor Perry is terrible at planning and does not take into account students having any lives outside of IS2200. Projects every other week, 1 or 2 quizzes every week, 3 tests, 1 group project. Incredibly stressful DO NOT TAKE.

Perry is lucky he has no office hours because if he did they would constantly be full of students trying to figure out what he wants for each project. Projects, every other week, are somehow detailed yet extremely vague. He posts the project with YOUTUBE VIDEOS on how to complete the project and not even youtube videos he makes, he is not teaching.

The class really wasn't as hard as people are making it out to be. There weren't any lectures and its pretty much up to you to get your assignments turned in on time. Theres usually an assignment due every week. His assignments aren't always clear but can be cleared up just by emailing him. It's definitely easy to get an A if you put in the effort.

Seems like a nice person. Very tough grader. Does not explain assignments or projects well at all. Marks points off for little things. One thing I really hated as someone who works full time is his assignments were all due on Friday at 9:30 as opposed to almost every other professor that offers submissions until midnight on sunday. DOES NOT TEACH!!

I think some reviews here are dramatic but it gets annoying dealing with project instructions that are wrong or constantly changing. Im not sure if its his fault though since he had to contact someone else to fix a project sheet. Overall, Id try to find someone else. No proctoring but quizzes are like 12 minutes long. Annoying long projects.

Please do not take his class. he gives unrealistic times for quizes and tests ( answer10 long questions in 12 minutes). Feels like teaching is his hobby. The structure of this class is so bad between the week 2-7 over 25 people left. Most assignments/help are hidden so he constantly has to email the class showing them how to find things.

The course has an insane workload for no reason. Quizzes and tests are just memorizing the textbook. SimNet activities with over 100 steps that make you feel like a robot doing mindless work for hours. Professor doesn't actually teach anything.

The negative reviews for prof Perry are correct. His teaching style is that of someone pursuing a hobby. Doesn't interact with students, and is never (ever) clear about his course. Work is done through McGraw Hill, and is unalterable. The content is understandable, and you can easily get an A. Just know you'll be teaching yourself:)

Horrible professor. The work in McGraw was really easy, a quizlet for everything. There is a semester group project in which you have to find your own partners, and the instructions are not clear and all over the place. Try to pick partners and send emails to peers early to get a good choice. Could have gotten an A easily but missed a few quizzes.

Unclear copy and pasted instructions that are all over the place. Will send plans about the week halfway through the week and seems like he doesn't care. Slow answering emails and way too many assignments. Seems lazy, idk how this guy even got hired. Crazy workload and things are due at 9:30pm and not midnight. If you can, AVOID taking Perry.

The professor is very unorganized, he posts 2-3 of the same rubric/outline, takes points off for small stuff, makes you write unnecessary information. Connect assignment quizzes are 10ish questions each but only 10 minutes to take it. Stated the exam was open note but it was proctored. All assignments are due at 9:30PM which makes no sense.

Changes due dates at the beginning of the week to be a week sooner????? Decides he messed up when posting the due date and then doesn't let you make it up when you miss it. Course schedule and D2L calendar still states the assignment being due later than when he changes it to. Unclear in directions and is unforgiving. Don't take if u want to smile.

Professor Perry's class has a lot of work but can be manageable if you stay on top of it. The instructions are sometimes unclear, but reaching out to him helps. Using unstuck study and other study tools like Quizlet made a big difference for me.

I have never gone out of my way to write a review but Perry is genuinely that awful. We're not even halfway through the semester and I have spent quadruple the amount of time doing all of his work than any other class, not to mention the ridiculous group project he absolutely will not give any clear direction or care about. DONT TAKE PERRY EVER.

The class can be a pass if it's the only class you take for a semester. Other than that, his class is extremely time consuming. He assigns loads of work that is expected to be completed in short time which interferes with my other courses. He expects us to be on top of our group project, individual projects, and module readings/quizzes all at once.

This guy does not care at all about his students at all. Gives 50's on every assignment and assigns feedback that is no help whatsoever. He acts like this is the only class you have. There is way too much work for a 3 credit hour online class. Do not take this professor I'm telling you.
