I can't say enough about Professor Rahni, not only is he generous and wise with age. He is also up-to-date regarding internet social media websites!

Dr. Rahni has character, integrity, and he genuinely wants his students to succeed. His class was interesting, fun, and was taught at comfortable pace. The computer work was super easy, but the tests were on the challenging side. Do the assignments and keep your portfolio organized. Hard work earned me an A.

Very useful class, kind and great professor. Loved this class!!!
Kind, soft spoken, and very encouraging. I just wish their were a lot more professors and instructors like Michael Rahni, at Valley!!!!
Gives a lot of homework but he doesn't check it just see that you brought it and thats it. he's tests are crazy hard you can't prepare for it, but he also gives projects for extra credit. textbook is not necessary cause you get it from MyItLab. Overall the class is fun but crazy tests.

GREAT PROFESSOR, EXTREMELY HUMBLE. I WISH MORE TEACHERS WERE AS CARING AS HE IS. HE CARES AND ALWAYS ANSWERS QUESTIONS IN A KIND AND RESPECTFUL WAY
I really appreciated Professor Rahni's calm demeanor. I appreciated him repeating parts of the lectures that I did not fully understand. With his help, patience and understanding, towards the end of the semester, I was able to comprehend enough about computers to have much more confidence in myself in the workplace!
Professor Rahni is literally the best professor at Valley College in my opinion. I am not even a computers major, I am studying to be in the nursing program but he has made the course so doable. He was always patient and gave everyone a chance to understand the material. He gave us real world situation in which we can apply what we're learning.
Awesome professor. I love him. Michael Rahni veeery good teacher.
Very hard to understand and even if you do good in class he is a tough grader and expects ALOT! Do not take him but it also seems like he is the only option so good luck.
Professor Rahni really cares about his students. He is patient, understanding, knowledgeable, and above all Inspirational. There are a lot of assignments in this class, as long as you try your best, Mr. Rahni would see that and give you the benefit of the doubt. Professor Rahni keeps the class alive by inspiring with his personal stories.
Dr. Rahni is a very intelligent and informative professor. This will be my third semester taking a course with him at Los Angeles Valley College. I am confident that the education I receive from him will help me achieve my goal in receiving an AA Degree.
He is very kind instructor. When you are in his class, participate and listen it. You will get an A.
I took classes with this professor 3 years, a very nice teacher, understands your circumstances, gives lots of extra credits and its too hard to fail the course. He also gives many information that can be used in the field.
A lot of activities to do online but most of it are in the books. Taking notes will be a big help specially before exam day. 2 presentation in class at least that can help you gain confidence. Give you a chance to submit your homework late but please don't take him for granted. He's a nice and very giving Professor.
Professor Rahni is one of the best professors at Valley in my opinion. He cares for his students and wants them to succeed. Take good notes and read the book and you will pass.
He is a really good teacher who really wants you to succeed and learn from his class. He is generous with extra credits. He allows you to buy older edition of the book, so we can save money. Overall, definitely recommend him!!!
Professor Rahni is an excellent professor. He is very informative in his lectures and explains everything very well. I would recommend to read the book and to take lots of notes for this class.
Mr. Rahni is a really good professor. He gives you opportunities to turn in late assignments and you are also able to take tests/exams a second time. He really wants you to succeed in the class and motivates you to keep doing your work and not to give up on your education.
Professor Rahni wants you to succeed. You must be present for lectures, and there is quite a bit of homework, but it's really not difficult as long as you read the book. He will give you opportunities for extra points if needed, and is always willing to extend a deadline in emergency situations.
This a really good teacher. He is willing to help at all times. Even tho he gives a lot of hw he always give you the opportunity to make up for any work and tests
Professor Rahni is a great teacher that cares about his students. Make sure you have the book, as there are a lot of activity work from there and the tests are based on it. He gives the opportunity to make up work, as well as extra credit.
Great Professor! He really wants you to pass so if you're having trouble getting assignments done he will give you more time. He does a lot of lecturing. He is available in class to answer any questions that you have. He can be better in returning emails, but other than that I'd recommend this professor for anyone who need to take this class.
He is one the best Professors at the school. He is always there for the students and motivates you to continue education. He always gives you the opportunity to make up for any home work or tests.
This was my first class coming back from a long break. This professor was understanding of time situations and did offer a lot of help and feedback when necessary.
You need to show up to class and pay attention to notes. He wants to pass you all but you need to put in effort.
Professor Rahni is exceptionally knowledgeable, patient, and cares about his students. He is willing to work with anyone who asks. He does leave a lot of home work, but its pretty easy. If you read the book and go to the lectures you will do fine. I learned a lot and really enjoyed his class.
Great Professor. He really tries to work with you and is very understanding. Tests are a little difficult, you have to read the book.

Good professor to take, especially those who need this class as a requirement to transfer. Lots of assignments online but not very time consuming. Good overall class.
Overall good class. Good lectures. Class discussions and projects.
Prof Rahni wants us to succeed. Fair, caring, & understanding. Lectures are interesting. 3-4 tests. Many assignments but they're short & easy to complete. Overall a great class.
Professor Rahni is great at teaching business communications. He is very clear on what he expects. He is also very caring and will extend assignments when needed for the entire class. Just do the assigned homework and read the chapters and you can pass the course easily!
Great guy! Extends homework and gives plenty of opportunities to do well. Take notes, do assignments, and read the book. Definitely read the book and you will do well on the exams.
Prof Rahni! is a great professor overall, not many professors attempt to work with you and he does.I defiinitely recommend him. Interesting class and great professor he's also very motivational!!
Great professor, very understanding. Offers a lot of extra credit opportunities and very relevant lectures and tips for job searches and resume improvement.
Great professor, most of my classes were taken at mission college but I went out of my way take Professor Rahni.
Be ready to work inside and outside the classroom.
Professor Rahni is the best teacher it has been an honor to be in his class. His teaching manner is excellent and he loves what he does so its delightful in my opinion, to be able to be in four of his classes. I would like to thank him for all he has done for me . God bless.
There seems to be a lot of busy work but the assignments are fairly easy just a little time consuming. The test can be tricky but mainly a lot of common sense questions.
Great Professor! He really wants you to study and pass the class. He is always ready to help you and will give you more time if you are having trouble getting assignments done. Show up to class and take notes. They will help you with your exams. You need to read the book as well. I would recommend this professor if you need to take this class.
Easy but a lot of work
Professor is a very nice person, he can answer every question and his class is so exciting , task in class is so interested.
I took professor Rahni this summer for CAOT32 and it went smoothly. He gave a lot of course work but explained materials clearly.
I took Professor Rahni's course to become a more persuasive writer, which he successfully taught me how to do. I enjoyed his class for both his inspirational lectures and in-class projects that gave me experience with writing business documents and brought me closer to my fellow classmates. I hope to use these skills to become a professional writer
Class was a great experience it was a little hard since it was a compact class in the summer but it was still a great class!
Great Professor! He wants you to study and pass the class. He is a motivated professor willing to give you hands on experience you can apply in real life situations. The class is very insightful and easy if you are willing to put in effort to pass the class.
Lots of work but fairly easy class
Interested in learning up-to-date desirable skills by top corporations? Dr. Michael Rahni is your guy! He is an intelligent man and cares for student's learning outcomes. In his class you'll learn the importance of different ways of communicating, communication channels, business communication, ethics, & safe use of social media at the workplace.
Class is very organized and routine like. Professor Rahni lets you know what and when assignments are due. The website used is super helpful because everything will be uploaded on there and is updated right after. Attending class, taking notes, and uploading all assignments will get you an A!
Provides plenty of real life examples of what is being taught. He's professional, respectful, caring and understanding. He also seems to be a lenient grader compare to most nit picky professors. Only Con is his organization of online assignments isn't the greatest. Random assignments, non-consistent chapter assignments, random due dates
I took his summer 5 week CAOT 32. I came in thinking I was going into a speech class, but I learned way more than I expected. I wish I would have not take his course through summer because I loved to learn more useful concepts. Definitely prepares you for the business world!! Work load is a lot and attendance is mandatory.
Michael Rahni is a great professor teaching a course that naturally requires a lot of effort. The copious workload is not an attempt to complicate your life; rather, the quintessential assignments are vital for anyone serious about pursuing a business related career.
The class itself was very long and professor Rahni tried to make It as interesting as possible. He's a very nice professor and an easy grader (on assignments, not tests) but I personally wouldn't take him again. Lectures go on and on forever, the assignments are unorganized and he gives way too many, tests are way too long (100 questions each).
Pof. Rahni is very passionate teacher who cares about his students succeeding. His lectures are clear. The class does come with a hefty workload but nothing too challenging. Would definitely recommend, especially to business majors.
this professor is the best thing that happen in my life, no joke.
Even though there is a lot of assignments the professor wants you to succeed and helps you as much as he can to make that happen.
Professor Rahni is a truly enriching individual that cares about his students goals and understands their needs. He gives a lot of assignments with varying due dates so it can seem overwhelming, but this is also a good example of how things work in the business world. A lot of assignments but it's doable and he extends due dates if applicable.
Professor Rahni is the best!! He really cares about his students and he is always trying to help the class to get a better grade. His lectures are really interesting because he likes to incorporate personal experiences that relate to the topics. I truly recommend this professor.
Professor Rahni is a very good professor. His assignments are well explained which makes the assignments easier. He is very understanding when it comes to situations.
Professor Rahni cares a lot about his students, and he is a good professor. I recommend taking this class when you don't have an already heavy workload. He does give a lot of assignments changes the deadlines. I would read the book and use the online resources. Pace yourself, and don't leave it all to the end.
Professor Rahni is very nice.
Professor Rahni is a good professor.
I liked this professor a lot he wants his students to pass he just doesn't explain things well but you will pass just do all the work.
Professor Rahni was one of my favorite professors. He organizes his class with giving the student every chance to reach a high grade. Assignments are online and available since the beginning of the semester. I really enjoyed him and would recommend him to anybody needing to take this course.
Great man. Very caring and passionate about teaching. Tests are from the book and lectures are very informative.
He genuinely cares about the subject matter, and goes to great lengths to utilize every minute of the scheduled time. You're an adult and you can always leave class early, though I would exercise caution. As I mentioned, he utilizes every minute of the allotted time. If you leave early, beware you may miss discussion posts. And yes, they add up.
this professor was great. he gives bonus work to make up your tests grades. you have to attend class to get good grade. he gives a lot of homework and in class discussions. expect to do a lot of group brojects as well.
Class is good but too many assignments at a time. Would be good if some of the assignments were done in class and a little more organized.
Good professor, easy class. Do the assignments and it's an easy A.
Fall 17. Met 1x/wk. Book helps. Assignments very simple but easily piles up & can bite ya if ya don't keep up. Class could be organized way better but is manageable if you are personally well organized. Communication is key. Need an extension? Confused? Not sure what he's asking you to do? Just ask! He's understanding & cares about students.
Professor Rahni is a solid choice for Business Comm 32! A good amount of assignments but he accommodates for you if needed, a few tests but they're not difficult, and a few group work/presentations. Take him if you can he's a good professor.
I took professor rahni for BusCom032 and I would take him again. There is a lot of assignments and group projects but the professor is very understanding and is also very easy to understand during lectures. A lot of the assignments are based on the book as well as lectures so I would highly recommend not to miss class.
He is the best professor ever .Love his class .
A lot of work, especially in winter and summer semesters, but gives great lectures, is available both in and out of class, and he cares if his student learn in his class.
I took him during winter semester. He is a good professor, a little on the disorganized side. He gives extensions to assignments if needed. There was one group project and presentation, plus an individual presentation. Everything is based on the book, so be prepared to read and he doesn't use the access code.
I took BUS 32 in the short winter semester. On one hand it was too heavy, on the other hand, it was very interesting. The professor was very patient and explains the subject well, also gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. But because it was the winter semester, it was very challenging for me.
Dr. Rahni is a very knowledgeable professor and has a variety of different degrees. He makes lectures funny and interesting with his stories. He gives a lot of writing assignments in addition to homework but he is willing to give extensions when required. He also offers a ton of extra credit. It is difficult to not pass this course.
Awesome professor !
Professor Rahni is very knowledgeable and his course of Business Communications was a great experience for me through my academic career. I appreciate having the chance to take this course with him, where I learned many useful information about the business world. Overall, he is a very generous professor who wants to help every student to succeed.
I should recommend everyone to take classes with professor Rahni. His classes are so organized, interesting. He is so smart, explains everything perfectly. It's a real pleasure to be in his class.
Lots of work in this class, but professor available both during and after class. I would take another class with him. Is concerned with if you learn something in his class. Very helpful.
If you plan on taking this class in the winter session like I did, be ready to put some work in. You need to read the book (no access code needed), a lot of assignments. 4 exams, 1 group presentation, 1 final and individual presentation. The professor is very nice though. He cares about the students, he gives extensions on HW if needed.
You need to read the book (no access code needed), a lot of assignments. 4 exams, 1 group presentation, 1 final and individual presentation. The professor is very nice though. He cares about the students, he gives extensions on HW if needed.
I have taken this professor twice. He is excellent and cares for his students. Every single one of them. A very approachable and understanding man. You actually learn a lot of useful things in class that you can use in your daily life.
Not that hard but took for winter session so hard to keep up with all the work
He a really nice guy. He gives you a chance for make-up if you have a good reason. Never yells or gets mad. Lecture is based on the syllabus. You can do well on the exams if you take really good note but great if you read the book plus your notes. If there's anyone to take Business 32 with it's him.
pros: Professor Rahni is a really nice man. His life experiences will help you understand the topic. He listens to his students and he would change the due date on homework. Cons: this course's final test is cumulative but he doesn't provide feedback in all of the four chapter test, so you are bound to repeat the same mistakes in your final.
A great professor with a great warm personality. Is more concerned with making sure the students leave the class knowing new things. Not an easy A but very doable. Is willing to answer any questions or concerns about grades or anything you may want to speak with him about. Would recommend to anyone.
Great professor really learned a lot from him. Be prepared to read the book but if you do you will do fine in the exams.
Professor Rahni is a born teacher and draws from a tremendous well of experience to help his students understand numerous communication channels while improving their writing skills. This was a truncated five-week course (Winter 2018) requiring constant writing (30+ deliverables and several discussion posts) crammed in a very concentrated period.
Mr. Rahni is one of many professors who gives an honest effort for every student to pass his class. With our Winter session being an accelerated course, he gives us breathing room to put in the work for our grade. Although the work can feel heavy, Mr. Rahni assures each of his students a passing grade for the class. thanks for the experience!
Mr Michael Rahni is great professor, I like that he is experienced business professional and teaching not only by the book. A lot of useful information I received not only doing our homework and class projects, but resources outside. Definitely well educated individual and great teacher. Recommend his as a great business coach.
Professor Rahni is an excellent educator, he cares about his students and the content they create. He understands that people have lives outside of school and he understands when certain work needs extension, he's a quality over quantity type of guy.
Professor Rahni is a really good teacher. He does leave a lot of homework and class assignment. I took him during a short semester in the winter. It did feel extremely stressful wit hall the assignments, but he is so nice that he will push back the due dates so the we can catch up. I recommend him so many students looking to take him for Bus 032
Very fair instructor. Helps a lot to understand material . Would definitely recommend him for business communication.
Really good teacher, Helps the students to understand the materials very easy.
I enjoyed taking Professor Rahni's class this Winter'18. I learned a great amount of knowledge to kickstart myself in the world of effective business communication. I am grateful to have taken this course.
Great class with a cool professor. Business Communication might not always be the most exciting subject, but the class went by faster than expected and I feel like I did well enough.
Teacher bends over backwards for you too pass. Teacher is nice to talk to and very understanding. Do the work and you should be fine.
Do the reading accordingly. He is very helpful and caring person that just wants to help his students succeed. Uses life examples to explain the material.
Professor Rahni is amazing. I took 2 class with him. On both i have got A and B. He helps every one pass the class.
This was a good class. I have been working in the business field for 6 years, but this class and the professors lectures allowed me to re-evaluate the way I have been conducting e-mails and other forms of communication. Even if you don't need this class, it's helpful in your career.
Professor Rahni's business communications class is pretty easy. There's quite a few assignments but they're all pretty easy and simple. He isn't always the clearest on when things are due but is also very lenient and wants you to pass. If you've never worked in a professional setting
I have nothing but nice things to say about professor Rahni. Here's a professor who cares about you passing his class and takes interest in students lives. Professor Rahni is a great example of what it means to be an outstanding professor.
Professor Rahni is passionate on what he is teaching. Participation is important in order to pass the class, along with several assignments. His due dates are clear and all his exams are fair. As long as you keep up then passing the class should not be a problem. He is a great and helpful professor.
Great professor. He gives us opportunities to boost our grades with short yet simple assignments. The lectures are spot on with excellent real-world examples. The homework isn't difficult, just don't let it pile up unless you want to do at the last minute. Overall, Michael Rahni is an awesome professor.
I really enjoyed Professor Rahni's class. He included life experiences in his lectures which I found helpful. He is fair and cares about his students. Make sure to take good notes and read the book.
Professor Rahni is an amazing professor with connections and experience in the business world. I have learned a lot from him and am hoping to apply the skills obtained in the real world. He is the kind of guy who will realize which of his students will make it in the business world by the input of their actions. Very generous and inspirational man.
Professor Rahni in my eyes was very understanding to our circumstance and worked with you every step of the way. Available for any questions or concerns. If your considering taking his class I recommend you asses your time managing skills and your work ethic due tot the fact that the class has 6 tests altogether.
Really great professor. there aren't many with as much experience and willingness to share like he is.
Great professor. He understands everyone is not a computer wizard. Goes at the pace of the class. Very respected among his students, very professional, and inspiring. Well spoken, highly suggest everyone take any class he offers. CAOT 82 was my class.
Best teacher i ever had
he is a great professor and these is the second time i'm taking it with.
Great instructor - very friendly and knowledgeable. Assigns a lot of projects but it's very helpful in learning the material. Very reasonable and understanding when things (life) comes up. I will definitely look for him again next time I need to take a related course.
HE'S A GREAT PROFESSOR. WELL RESPECTED AND VERY POLITE. HE IS VERY LENIENT WITH GRADING AND THE SUBMISSION OF ASSIGNMENTS. IF YOU TALK TO HIM HE WILL HELP YOU OUT AS BEST AS POSSIBLE.
Show up to class and do the in class projects. Overall, he wants to make sure you know the basics of all Microsoft Office Applications. The tests are all true/false questions as well. Happy with my choice in professor! :)
Professor Rahni is a well respected professor and very helpful in helping you learn the material. I have enjoyed his class and would recommend him if you need CAOT 82 or any other classes he teaches. Don't be afraid of the amount of assignments, they are very do able and professor Rahni is always ready to help to make sure you do well in the class.
Professor Rahni genuinely cares about his students and only wants all to succeed. His lectures cover a lot of material but is very easy to understand.
I love Professor Rahni! This is my second class with him and I wish I could take more. He cares about his students and their success not only in class, but also in life. He explains things very well and gives plenty of time to finish work that is assigned. I highly recommend taking him!
Professor Rahni is a wonderful instructor. His lectures are very useful, after finishing the CAOT 82 class with him, everyone can work with any Microsoft Office software.
He is the best professor that I have ever seen.
Professor is willing to work with you and is very understanding. I had trouble showing up to class because of my work schedule but he was very understanding and works with you in order for you to get assignments done. He is easy to communicate with outside of class.
He wants you to pass and learn the material. He's a very wise man who has extensive knowledge in the business as well and educational field. On top of that, he genuinely cares about all of his students.
Mr. Rahnii is a very helpful & understanding professor. He is also caring, I would definitely take him again in the future.
Awesome professor, easy class as long as you do your work. His expertise help me understand all Microsoft Programs .. Thank you Professor Rahni
Professor was great. Very easy class if you do all the work. You need the book because activities will be assigned from there. Do all the work and you will get an A.
Professor was awesome. Tests are easy. Lots of easy work. If you do the work you will pass for sure. Overall great professor.
Professor Rahni cares for his students and wants to see them succeed. Fun class though there is a lot of work involved. Multiple tests but he gives you so much classwork that you can always earn points if you did not do so good in one of the tests. Buy the book very helpful for his class.
The professor is not a tough grader but he will push you to do your homework. He gives second chances(a lot) and from what I observed is that he is so cool headed and know how to control himself. I recommend him and as of now, I'm still looking if I can take him again in another class.
Second time taking one of professor's Rahni's classes. Highly recommend this professor, one of the best if not the best professor I've had at LAVC. Understanding, caring, respected professor. My #1 option professor to take again if needed for a specific course. Try his class, you wont regret it!
I like that he gives real-world information. I always feel he wants me to learn and succeed. Great references to current websites.
Good Professor
I felt he wanted me to learn and succeed. Good reference websites. Focuses on real world applications of the knowledge. I've already used what I learned in this class at my current job.
Professor Rahni is amazing! I really enjoyed this class and his teaching style . There is a lot of work and if you don't go to class, you may miss assignments. However, he is so kind and can work with your schedule. I would love to have him as my professor again :)
I really enjoyed being in his class. My best experience ever.
Dr. Rahni, is smart, great and a truly professional Professor !
Professor Rahni, the head department chair is the professor to take. He wants you to succeed. It is all about maintaining a good communication skill with him.
Friendly and helpful
Very Knowledgeable in his field, tells cute little side stories. Just keep doing your homework to keep up with the pace of the class. I took him for a summer 5 week course, it's doable. But I wish I took it in a regular semester term. Lots to know if your new at 2016 Windows, Excel, Word, Access, and Power Point.
An excellent instructor, he takes his time with students that don't understand the subjects
Is good at waiting for students to catch up before moving forward.
Great Professor. Helps students and provides solutions to solving any assignment related problems. Very clear on explanations. Also very knowledgeable in the field. Definitely Take his CLASS!
Great teacher that explains the concepts very thoroughly. There is a lot of homework you need to do from the book outside of the class if you are taking it in 5 weeks
Professor Rahni assigns a lot of assignments that take time but are pretty easy to do. He is really nice and considerate towards personal situations and he understands if you are unable to do an assignment.
I took Professor Rahni during a 5 week course. He is a very kind person and wants everyone to succeed. Make sure to stay ahead of the assignments as it is easy to fall behind. He is willing to work with you on assignments. I would take him again for a longer session for sure.
Just study for the tests and submit your assignments on time.
Vedy disorganized, I think a summer class requires for a teacher to stick to the syllabus as some of us do in order to budget our time properly. He created work as he presented the class throwing off whatever schedule I had made. If this was my only class I would not care but I had another one to deal with.
This class is easy for people who good with computer especially Windows. I think his style of teaching is flexible and chill enough for his age. I would recommend his class to other.
He's a quiet, chill professor who isn't overly tough nor overly easy. If you do your work, you'll pass and the tests aren't difficult or easy. Everything about this class is neutral and as long as you pay attention, you're good to go.
Everything is good.
i took professor Rahni over the summer, he is a very kind and patient teacher. He truly wants his students to learn and understand the material in his course. As long as you show up and ask for help, this class will be very enjoyable.
Well organized. Brings a variety of hands-on projects similar to the text projects to class. The course requires work outside the class. If you do not have time to complete the out-of-class, this is not the right class to take. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn all Office applications.
The professor is very good and nice, but MS Suite is not a class for an intensive summer course. Don't take the class in the summer, 5 weeks is super fast and you won't learn the programs well. There should be prerequisites like knowing how to type and knowing Windows. The book is $140 + IT lab fee. Lots of homework & GCF online tutorials work.
Great professor! Genuinely cares if you pass or not. Wants students to understand material. Pushes due dates if he feels students need more time to comprehend the material. Will stop to help a student. Answers all questions regardless of how stupid it is. Do the homework, go to the class lectures and it is an easy A!
Enjoyed his class. Must show up in order to get points to pass. Very knowledgeable in computers.
Great professor overall. He does give a lot of assignments so be prepared to work. But he does give a lot chance to gain extra credit
Great professor, best I've ever had for Business Communication.
Professor Rahni is very well educated and knowledgeable person. During his lectures he shares his interesting life stories. Yo do have to study in his class.
Took him for the winter for my business communication. Professor was really nice and taught me a lot about the subject matter. He is an easy grader and the workload is pretty light for the most part. Definitely recommend him for this class.
Took this class during the short 5 week winter semester. Inspiring and good course. The professor has a lot of experience and has good lectures. I recommend him!
Great Professor! I would recommend to take his classes. Funny and very Inspirational.
He is the best professor ever. I took CAOT 32 in winter semester, it was't easy. But if you study hard you will het A.
Great professor! But a lot of work and gives a lot of extra credit which is awesome
Professor Rahni is a great professor. I took his class winter 2019 expecting nothing and knowing only it is a requirement for my class. but when you take his class, he makes sure you get in and out of the class to actually learning and getting more interested with the class. he gives assignments and projects that are very doable by spending effort
I took this class for the Winter semester, first time ever doing a winter/summer class. The professor makes you work to earn your grade. Since this is a computer-based class, majority of the work is sent through canvas. Professor Rahni is very nice and always willing to help you. You have to put in the work to get a good grade.
With Professor Rahni you not only learn practical computer skills. You will also learn life-time lessons that will help you to become a better professional.
The method of this course amazing and unique. The course was focused on students, the professor analyzed the work of each students. We have been in a good shape. Professor created perfect system to grade. At the end of this course, I acquired the knowledge of communication, did not become afraid to speak in public, improved my English.
Great professor! Really cares about his students! Very knowledgeable, fairly easy.
Wonderful Professor. I really enjoy his class, and I learn a lot. If you want to learn how to write a different types of business letters, and how to communicate in business world then take CAOT 032 with Prof. Rahni. There will be a lot of work, but you will enjoy doing that. Thanks Professor Rahni.
He is the best Professor. I learn so much from my business communication class. It was very interesting class, we did a lot of projects which were very interesting. I will definitely recommend him. He is the best.
A very fair teacher. He assigns a lot of classwork but the task are not too difficult. As long as you show up to class daily, you should have no problem passing the class.
He is a great Professor, he wants his students to pass, you just need to show that you are interested in the class. You really dont need to come to class however, you need to do the in class projects.
He's a very nice professor. very lenient. very very understanding. he will give you many chances to turn in late work and still give you full credit. allows you to use his computers if you don't have one at home. very little book use but you still need it for assignments that count toward your grade.
Great teacher
He is a great professor, he is always willing to helps his students because he wants his students to learn the subject.
He is a great professor.
Mr. Rohni is a very generous individual. He is understanding and forgiving
Professor Rahni is a good professor that teaches this class. He also works with the students to succeed..
Very understanding, if a student has any late work to turn in but the due date has passed, he will adjust it on a later date and won't deduct points for it.
A good professor that cares a lot about the success of his students. Heavy amount of homework but a fair grader and will do whatever he can to help you succeed.
The professor is really good. His lectures are great and teaches you a lot about computer programs. Would definitely recommend this class to anyone and professor is caring and works with you when you need the help. There is a lot of hw but definitely do able and manageable.
Thank you for the knowledge you put up in me, I really Appreciated. I took Excel, and Access Before, but In a few weeks I actually learned what I learn in Months. Clear explanation, Professor took his time explaining, overall 10000%. I Dont know how much I will get in my class.
Great Professor!
Professor Rahni is one of the most caring professors I have ever had he wants you to pass class with an understanding of the material. He's not just a professor where you are just another number on a list, he cares for each one of his students and that they understand each application that you work on and he is very personable.
Professor Micheal Rahni is outstanding Doctor and he knows all of the student natures so he can deal with all of student levels. For me I got his advise to enhance my computer skills and he gave good time outside class. Wish to attend more classes with professor Rahni.
The class is very straight forward. Dr. Rahni will work with you if the work load is overwhelming. He is very understanding of everyone's situation. Take this class and you will not regret it you will learn a lot.
Great class Great professor won't regret very understanding person and teaching this subject very well. Must take with Professor Rahni.
Professor Rahni is a great Professor, he will make sure that you understand the class and dont stay behind; besides he is very flexible with the due dates. If you wanna learn a lot and have fun take the class with him.
Professor Rahni is really amazing. He is a good pecialist. He is always ready to help students.
Hes a good professor .Gives legible lectures and has extra credit opportunities.
This professor is extremely respectful with every student he has and is extremely caring, everytime someone asks a question he always goes up to their desk right away and helps them solve the issue. This professor is great because he is organized with all of his assignments and never misses a day to make sure we learn everything.
Professor M. Rahni is very good teacher because he helped the students during this class and always share his knowledge's, and always was prepared with new information.
Its a very helpful class.
Professor M. Rahni answers any question a student may ask, and is extremely passionate about the material and teaching it to his students. He is professional, confident and most importantly communicates properly.
horrible. easy class but the prof's is extremely vague. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS ONLINE. bad mistake. the hw is easy but he's so vague you have to msg him 10 questions for a simple assignment. to top it off, he takes at least 3 days to respond. you need the book for hw. his tests are extremely vague and unreasonable. theres projects and its boring
Great Professor. He is very patient and likes to help students with any questions. He is always trying to make sure you submit your work on time and will make exceptions with assignments and will give extentions. He makes sure you understand the lectures.
There are a lot of homework.
Thanks. I learn too many things about computer.
I am so happy I have taken this class. It has helped me to learn all about excel, word, and access. He makes sure you understand all the work given and gives you a lot of chances to complete the assignments. He makes sure everyone passes the class. I am very glad I took this class with Professor Rahni.
He is the best professor! Thanks for his lecture.
He is a great professor, he helps his students with any questions and makes sure we all understand the criteria. He gives a lot of time to finish the assignments. I am very happy I took this class.
Overall, just a great professor. Slow paced and explains programs thoroughly.
He is really patient and helpful. If you have any questions he will help you and guide you. I would recommend him.
Do not take his online class. Extremely vague assignments and takes forever to respond to emails. You have to read his mind to do well on his tests. They are not on quizlet and are multiple choice with typos and vague questions. The homework is a lot and is due every sunday night. He was constantly extending assignments
The best Professor I've had so far, he wants you to do great. So, he's very helpful and expect you to do well by being in class and doing your home work.
He is the best teacher I have ever had. He cares about all of his students. If you don't understand something He stops the lesson and explains you. If you are looking to learn and understand the subject and get a good grade. I suggest you chose him as your teacher.
Classes tend to start slow at first but it picks up pace as you go. The professor doesn't leave anyone behind as he helps those having difficulty with both the in-class exercises and homework.
Has a great level of care and respect for everyone in class. Every lesson planned out and is always ready if needed to go to plan B, starts class on time, never misses a day, shows a lot of dedication to the class. It's easy to understand and will answer or go back when needed. Knows all aspects to the class. easy to communicate.
Dr. Rahni is a great professor who is very knowledgeable in his field. Always organized and functional about the course. Extremely understanding when it comes to student's requests. His feedback was helpful and he is always happy to assist students. The assignments in class were very helpful but were sometimes heavy work or seemed to be redundant.
Dr. Rahni is the best professor I've had so far. He cares all his students. He won't leave you behind. He is very patient to everyone. He always repeat his questions. Honestly, this class gives a lot of works, but you have to manage your time and you will get an A. I highly recommend him.
I would take this professor again with pleasure. He is A great professor, cares about the student and helps the student to get good grade. If you work hard in class, you will get At least an A or B. He is Flexible of giving extension to finish the work if you ask him or work with him. This professor is easy to take. come to class and participate.
Professor Rahni is very respectful and caring. He is well organized, punctual and dedicated. He is an expert in computer science. He is always making sure that everyone understands the material. He is very patient and he taught us at a good pace. This is the second class I take with him and I would gladly take more classes with him!
Great teacher, very calm and helpful. He is very caring, he cares very much for his students and loves the subject. He also gives us a lot more knowledge outside of the subject. He talks about business and real life skills. I appreciated it a lot.
Professor Rahni had great respect and care for his students. He was always present and punctual for class. The professor was very accommodating for students who also worked by extending due dates. He had great knowledge on the material.
Very respectable professor, not only great in subject, but also in life
Overall, he is caring and willing to extend assignments; however, the online class has too much work. Usually I am not one to complain, but for those not willing to sit in front of a computer and do extensive projects, this won't be the class for you. While I ended up with a good grade, the tests didn't make sense and were difficult for no reason.
Great Professor and Course! Lots of assignments but worth doing it all, I literally know how to use 2016 Windows 10, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Access because of this class! Everyone should take this course, you learn a lot!!! He gives you plenty of time to complete your assignments and gives extensions. He will answer emails within good time.
Professor Michael Rahni, I'm just trying to Saving you guys the trouble and time to look for other professors, overall he is great, and always there to answer any question you got, he is fair to the best level of fairness someone would reach, nevertheless, he does have a lot of homework but it's very simple, I took it throughout winter. good luck
Great professor. Helps you with anything you need. He offers alot of chances for you to raise your grade. He is very nice and caring. Great class
Yes, you see "Lots of Homework" and students panic but if you have some recognition of the basic fundamentals of Microsoft office you will be good! I took the class in the winter and he breaks down each topic. I was hesitant but in the end the class made me more confident when managing through Microsoft office.
I took the five week course and honestly would take it again. There is a lot of homework but its easy to finish just a little time consuming sometimes. The professor lays out what you have to complete each week as long as you keep up its an easy A.
Great Professor ! Truly cares about students success. Gives a lot of chances for extra credit work. Also, always checked in on students progress.
Professor Rahni expects you to show up and put in the work. He does not allow for late work to be turned in. He is good about replying to questions sent by email. There will be a group project at the end of the semester, which you will have about two weeks to complete.
The professor has been giving good directions and wants the students have success education and always cares his students.
Super easy class. The teacher does not assign difficult assignments
easy A if you do all your assignments
Nice professor and will email you within 48 hrs. Suggests ways to succeed in class. Would take him again. Took during winter, so an accelerated session - got kinda stressful but need to have good time management (if taking in winter/summer). Would take itagain. No online scheduled zoom mtgs just office hours which are encouraged but not mandatory.
Amazing Professor, gets back to immediately and actually responds at later times (6-8) unlike other Professors, 100% would take again
Communicated a lot and cares about students.
I enjoyed taking this class. You have to do your part and work on your assignments in a timely matter. Have patience and follow the steps. The Professor is mindful for each students success and gives opportunity to redo assignments. He was also accessible and will answer any concerns and questions throughout the course. I recommend taking his class
Professor Rahi gives you any time very good advice. He is helpful and patient.
great professor, gives several extra credit. recommend professor and class. the class is itself requires time so be ready to do work, but overall easy A or B
I took this class for Winter 2021 and I was afraid that I would not get a good grade because there were so many assignments to complte, therefore I informed the professor that I would drop the class and he helped me organize and complete the assignments. At the end I received an A+. I recommended it to someone else and they enrolled in Spring 2021.
Online winter class, had a fast pace but everything was well organized, flexible, and wildly easy. The work is handled through an outside program (buy the code, don't buy the textbook) and is organized in weekly modules based on program. Keep up with the week's module and you'll be fine. Content isn't hard but if you don't know office it is helpful
Took this class in the winter it's a great class with lots of work but very easy to do if you follow the videos and guides. It's a very organized class. Take this class you won't regret it.
This class is pretty awesome, not to overwhelming but if you take this course in short period of time, Make time! Everything is pretty specific and easy to do.
He was so kind. He really cares about you and wants you to succeed in the class. Great class.
I took this course in winter 2021 and can recommend it. The training is very interesting, the professor always makes concessions and is open for dialogue. He responds very quickly to messages and always tries to help. The attitude towards students motivates them to get a good grade, as the professor is always interested in your success.
This class helps you familiarize the basic function of Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, Access, and Excel. The homework is based on a web-application that you need to mandatorily purchase.
Professor Rahni is a great professor. He truly cares about his students success. I enjoyed his class . I learned all about Microsoft Office. Would definitely take any of his classes again!!
A lot of assignments! Lol but easy, great Professor and gives good feedback. 100% recommend.
What can I say about this class? If you want to complete 25 assignments in a 2 week period, then by all means, take the class! This teacher's instructions are NOT clear. I mean, he barely speaks english. He says that you can miss 20 assignments, that's BS! I even took this class in the spring so I thought it wouldve been a little easy. NO WAY.
Professor Rahni is a great! There is a lot of work to do but he is very helpful. He will even go the extra mile to help!
I would like to say that It was a course full of projects which provided me a lots of skills, It was great! Be ready to do homework and learn much about MS.
It was a very amazing course that Professor Rahni provided by wonderful videos and assignments,
Professor Rahni, besides been an excellent professor , his suggestions have improved my learning.
Structured poorly, A LOT of work, instructions were not as clear as they could have been, and overall it felt like there was minimal effort put into the course on the instructor's part. If you use Microsoft programs you'll breeze through. If you don't however, it will be time-consuming. Overall, it was an average-below average 5-week class.
He is such a great professor and he would really get out his way to help you out when you are struggling and really is patient with you .There is a lot of assignments but manageable to do. Do everything he asks you and I promise he will do the best to help. I recommend this class even though you may not know much about computers.
This class is very easy. I took the 5-week class and we would get 20 assignments due by Sunday. If you would do them throughout the week, then it shouldn't be a problem. He is a great professor and he cares about his students. He always answers his email really quickly. If you need to take this class, I suggest you TAKE IT WITH HIM.
The professor is straightforward with the course a lot of HW is assigned but you can easily get an A as long as your manage time correctly to do the homework. You get the full understanding of the course curriculum its like a detailed tutorial course of Microsoft office .The professor does a great job of replying and answering any question
Professor Rahni was such a great professor with helping out students in homework questions he always replied to us and helped us out this course was taken for me in winter so it was a bit fast and a lot of homework to prepare yourself with but of course its winter semester so its expected, other than that I learned a lot! and it was great .
Professor Rahni is very attending to wanting students to pass. Excessive amount of assignments due at short deadlines; would've prefer one big deadline since it's a Winter course. Overall, provides helpful resources when needed and always responds.
A 5 week class with a lot of homework. Things could have been clearer in the modules and adjusted for the shorter class (some of the deadline dates were wrong and modules were a bit hard to follow). If you know Microsoft, then this class will be an easy A for you. Do the work on time and you'll pass.
Professor makes himself available for weekly standing open office sessions via zoom, no appointment necessary. Wants to understand your personal struggle so he can support in completing the course successfully. Work through the online textbook, do the work, absorb all that you can, you will need all of these valuable skills in the future.
HIS GREAT PROFESSOR, I suggest you choose your professor and you can only pass his class. Great class
I recommend anyone going for a computer class to take his class he is very helpful and will answer your questions truthfully
Great class and professor! Lots of work because it was a short winter semester class, but if you get started with it as soon as it is posted you won't have a problem finishing it.
Pretty homework heavy. Uses a system called SIMnet for assignments which can be a bit confusing to use at first. The course is pretty much self-taught. Not a tough grader.
Great professor. He teaches well and cares for his students. Well organized and clear grading policy. Highly recommended
This class is one of the worst classes that I have taken in all my years. Starting from the technical difficulties to assignments not being created correctly, etc. I have had trouble submitting every single assignment through SIMnet. I'm not sure who this will reach but I hope whoever takes this class next has a more enjoyable learning experience.
I took CAOT 82 with Professor Rahni and I found him very helpful. He always answers emails promptly and wants to help in any way he can. He cares about his students and gives them all the help and advice they need. His class is very organized. If you do the work on-time you will pass the course with a good grade. I recommend him and his class.
CS101 basic programming. take this class with this professor. the amount of work is a lot, but the deadlines are reasonable. you will learn the content. Michael is available almost on tap, it seemed like. weekly observations and recommendations helped immensely. take this class with this professor
Great!!
Organized and straight forward. Responds to emails or questions quickly and a generous grader in my experience. I would recommend.
Professor is organized and straightforward. Responds quickly to emails and questions. Used unstuckstudy AI alongside the free textbook for effective study prep. Highly recommend taking this class.
Amazing professor, took him for CS101. Even though the class is fully online with no zoom meetings it's very easy. You do have to teach yourself but the website that we use worked well and was easy to understand. I would take his class again
Amazing, generous grader and has flexible deadlines. I would retake his class he cares a lot.
