Learned a lot. Nice guy.

This guy rocks!!

Good teacher really easy class

Made you enjoy studying computers. Interesting assignments.

As long as you get on his good side the first day and talk to him after class for a bit he will be very helpfull to you. And ask him how his science fiction book is coming along. He made it fun to come to class.

nice Guy

The best teacher ever!

Great teacher and knows what he is talking about! The best part is the music selection in the beginning of class. He has good taste!!

oh! man if u want a freindly teacher and a easy teacher go for him he is awesome. his way of taking midterm is fun and final is like more clear and easy. More than that he got alot of things to share with us. He is a well educated and experienced.i will say go for him

Pretty cool teacher, real nice guy and really knows what he is talking about. He's kinda strange but oh well :)

He is simply awesome in his own way. I patted my back for taking a class with him. He is just WOW!!

He's the best teacher you will ever find. Great class.

Great Teacher! Lots of good real world examples!

This is one of those classes that you wouldnt mind attending, do the work and get the A. This class is straight forward, alot of extra credit and everything is fair. Should be an easy A. One of the nicest and coolest teachers ever, pretty funny as well.

Awesome teacher. Had lots of great stories about the working world. Seemed like he worked for every place you could think of. Graded decent as long as you paid attention. Definitley recommend.

Amazing teacher and a great guy. Gives lots of extra credit, and being in his class is fun because he tells lots of stories. Study for the quizzes and you'll do great.

He's a nice easy going teacher. I don't think there's anything bad about him. But this class is very boring cuz he goes very slow. I personally hated it because this course was required for my major. I was really bored!

Mike Losacco is way cool, alot of fun, and plays awesome music before each class. I definitely recommend him for any class he teaches!

This guy should leave COD and teach at Harvard. Extremely intellectual with real world examples. Take him if you actually want to learn something at COD.

umm idk what YOUR INTEREST means lol so i putted 1.. lol..but he's a cool teacher

He's an okay teacher. I don't like the way our midterm was. He made us sit in groups and we played a game like jeopardy which was not fair cuz the people in my group were not that smart. They didn't study for the test at all so I ended up answering all the questions. He's a boring teacher, esp when he goes on & on about the notes for an hr!!

Great teacher, easy to learn from. He should be teaching at U of I, not crappy COD. Though i think he should rethink on how he does his mid-terms. If you get stuck with idiots, it could hurt you.

This teacher is great. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong!! He plays AWESOME music before class...His lectures can be boring because he isn't reawlly teaching the MOST INTERESTING STUFF. He is genuine and nice, and has an AWESOME website! he actually takes the time to help students. He is a great person.

HONESTLY, THIS CLASS WAS A BORE. HE IS AN INSANELY SMART GUY, AND VERY COOL. HE IS GREAT IN THE SENSE THAT HE IS VERY HELPFUL HE PLAYS MUSIC BEFORE CLASS! HIS LECTURES DRAGGED AND HE HAS A VERY MONOTONE VOICE WHAT CAN PUT YOU TO SLEEP =/ IT'S JUST A BORING CLASS OVERALL.

Mr. Losacco Is an Excellent teacher. You will have so much fun in his class that it doesent even seam like your in class. He is one of the best teachers you could take at COD.

So, if you're taking the 1150 class and can't at least get a B, you shouldn't be touching a keyboard. Get off the computer. Now. Otherwise, Losacco teaches things in class that are pretty useful. Sure, you can do basic stuff in Word, Powerpoint, and Excel. But He wants you to do it just a little better. Great personality, very laid back.

I was fortunate to be in a class with people that were alive...this made a huge impact..I mean...how exciting are computers??....I learned a lot and made a friend....he is always there if you need help....and ladies......he is EXTREMELY easy on the eyes!!!!

Good teacher, good guy. Laidback. class was pretty boring, but what do you expect from intro to computers. Stay on top of work and you'll do fine.

Take him, great professor!... dont need the text at all. If you do your work, youll do fine. Summer class was a breeze.

Prof L was a very cool guy.He gives homework sometimes but you were always given enough time to do it in. Reel down to earth and he also does a cool part about the band RUSH!!! Do your stuff and you will get an A!

This Professor is Great!!!! Basically just pay attention and listen to everything he lectures about and you will do fine. Study for test and quizzes and keep up with it. AWSOME professor.....oh! & very helpful. Definitely recommend this prof. to U!

Great prof. Easy Class. Do extra credit...it's easy and you won't need to study a lot for the weekly quizzes or for the midterm and final. I really enjoyed this class.

Great teacher... He's funny... Very easy class... A lot of easy short quizes and 5 very easy projects... He helps you out with anything... I learned a lot in this class... I highly recommend this teacher.

He is really awesome...i don't study but still i got A

Plays music in the beginning of class, which is kinda weird but cool. Very helpful class, and pretty cool teacher

Music before class, not always the best but their were a few gems in there.Always was clear. Other than that awesome class with a great teacher.

If you can't handle sarcasm and a little taunting, don't take this class. Some of the concepts are a bit confusing and redundant but he is very helpful and has lots of good stories and analogies. Attendance is not mandatory per se but let him know if you won't be there or he'll drop you after a few times. A few projects and weekly quizzes.

Losacco was a very interesting teacher. He likes to play music at the beginning of class which was interesting. He is a little monotone sometimes but is a cool guy all-around. His lessons are relatively easy especially if you have a basic understanding of computers. No homework other than studying for weekly quizzes and a few easy projects.

Great teacher.You have to work a lot on your homeworks but this is the only way to actually learn HTML.Great guy, always helps you if you have any questions or problems.

Definitely one of a kind but pretty cool in his own way. Has his unique style of teaching but overall I did enjoy his class.

He is a really good teacher and he is funny and laid back and just a great professor

i have much respect for Losacco, he is a down to earth guy and is great at teaching his craft.

If you're not into computers like I am, it is still a great class to take because he is passionate about the subject and can be funny.

He's a really cool guy. He tells interesting and funny stories relevant to what we are talking about. Great class.

Took his online html/css class. He responds quickly to e-mails. Loved the class. There is a weekly assignment from the book and test (15 T/F questions). Grades fairly. I learned a lot from this class! If you are taking an online computer class, take Losacco! :)

Hes a good teacher, very wise guy. Everything is really easy to comprehend. One tip though. Study for the quizzes! Best advice is to basically memorize his entire powerpoint and take some notes too. Pay attention and youll be fine.

Outstanding teacher, I missed his class. He is very intelligent and you will learn a lot from his class. You even don’t need to read a book since power points and good notes are enough to prepare for tests. Plus, you need to do additional assignments which are easy, not time consuming. You are lucky to have him; he is One of the Best Professors.

Great professor! Very clear and informative! He knows what he's talking about and is very organized and punctual. I've learned quite a lot about CIS because of him. He will give comments on assignments that weren't perfect. Come to his class and on time! You won't want to miss the discussions. Study hard! Pay attention! You'll do well!

I have huge respect for Prof. Losacco, he likes serious students. Looking for an easy A? Not here. No tolerance for tardiness or talkers. Tight grading, not impossible to do well though. Lots of time and help for lab assignments. Jokes around but won't waste your time. Mid-term was like a game show - fun! Answers email promptly and grades fast.

Really good, informative course. Provides a rubric that outlines point deductions, links to validators that show your errors so you can correct them before you submit. Attaches a file that lists the errors and even references the line number. Includes Powerpoints that cover the supplemental material. Quickly answers emails and posts grades.

Punctual professor, quick grader, and has intriguing stories. The projects are not too bad, but the quizzes will take a toll on your grade. They are usually about random facts that were mentioned once in the text. The class gets boring at times because you do the homework one day, then he lectures in the next class about the same topic.

Use of online textbook tools was annoying. The quizzes and tests were done online that were produced by the publisher so the questions were extremely specific. Labs and projects were fun and easy to do if you are familiar with office. Overall good teacher, he has lots of interesting stories. Try hard and you will get a good grade!

Class was pretty easy, he tries to keep everything simple and straightforward. The only issue I had was everything you do in class is online now, there's no real interaction. That said, as long as you get your work done and study a little, you shouldn't have any issues.

He is an awesome teacher! Quizzes and test are online but he is very good in his lectures do pay attention bc he does explain more than his powerpoints show. I DO RECOMMEND HIM!

Made html fun to learn! Lectures are hilarious, entertaining and never boring. Super fast grader and gives feedback on assignments. Gives more detailed info in lectures. Def take again.

Great teacher, COD is lucky to have him. I would take him again in a heartbeat. He wants you to learn. Doesn't hand you an A like some COD professors. Homework and a test in every chapter. The tests are pretty easy, open book. The homework - do it perfect and use a code validator! Very sarcastic which I think is a good thing.

Great teacher, very informative and you will learn in his class. Took this online, he responds to e-mails in a timely manner. Responses are direct and to the point. A good amount of work required but is well spaced out with reasonable time-frames given to complete assignments. Tough grader but if you do your work you'll get an A.

You have a lot of quizzes (almost one everyday) but they are never that hard if you read the chapters and do the work. He is a great teacher and really cares about what he teaches. His "The Dash" talk is amazing, make sure you don't skip that day in class. Overall an easy grade if you do the work, just don't slack off.

Losacco rules. If you want a legit challenge take him. He's very clear cut. I took it online and found him very helpful. Also, google is your buddy.

Do the hw n ur good! Beware of group projects...

He's the type of teacher that teaches you about life and applies the subject into the real world. An A in this class is easy if you do the assignments, attend class, and do some reading from the textbook. Lectures based on the book and he provides his personal real-world examples, some of which are hilarious.

Great Teacher!! He is very clear on what he teaches, and we have a blast in class! Best teacher at COD!!!

I think computer class is boring anything to do with computers bore me, but Mr. Lossaco really kept me interested and I actually like the class. I definitely would take him again.

Good class ,very doable&Professor Losacco really cares about the students. Has a good sense of humor; but values participation in class. Many quizzes/homework but they aren't hard. He does a good job making his lectures interesting in a type of class that could otherwise be very boring. Also, The Dash was really good, definitely don't miss it!

Losacco is an amazing professor. His lectures are solid so skipping them is your loss. Losacco tells you explicitly tells you what he expects on assignments; however, he is a tough grader. Tests are open book so take advantage of it. Another piece of advice don't be late to class he can't stand it.

He is a good teacher, who clearly presents the material and the projects are all clearly explained. However, he is a very strict grader. And while he always explains why he takes points off, it is not always for the same things, and can be difficult to predict whether your assignment is correct until after the fact

Losacco an incredible teacher his lectures are inspirational and practical. He explicitly tells you what he expects on assignments; however, he's a tough grader. The tests are all opened book which is always a plus. I would definitely recommend taking his class. He teaches more than just computers he teaches you how to live.

hard class lots of labs.

The classwork is by no means difficult but he is a nitpicky grader. Losacco is a pretty cool guy and had the whole class laughing several times. Assignments are straight out of the textbook so make sure you get the correct edition or they won't sync.

Great teacher! Losacco is funny but really knows how to teach. His DASH presentation is amazing and every eye opening. Hands down best computer teach at COD. Highly recommend him!

Losacco is great! He lets you use the book and internet on quizzes. You need to pay attention to his lectures because his powerpoints are very vague. He goes into more details while lecturing. As long as you follow along and complete the homework, it is easy! Would definitely take him again!

This professor is a good professor. Responds to emails pretty quickly and is clear for what is required from you. Assignments every week, relays heavily on the on the book and it kind of a tough grader. The only problem I had with this professor is the grade he gave me on my midterm project that worked with no errors but had minor code mistakes.

His assignments can be a little challenging at times but they are very doable. My suggestion if you are taking this class with him is to get started on assignments early. Just one group project!

If I could choose to have him as my teacher for the rest of my education, I would. He is a great professor all around. I do not have anything negative to say about him or the way he teaches. If you have an opportunity to be taught by him, I would take his class.

I took Mr. Losacco for 3 courses. My first course (CIS 1310), I kinda slacked for a bit and got a C. However, this was 100% on me. My next course with him (CIS 1300) went a lot better. You have to turn the work in on time. That being said, it's a reasonable amount of work, and he is very accessible when you need help and will explain things well.

He's exactly what I always expected a College/University professor would/should be. Very strict but also very fair. His pace might be a little too fast and if you fall behind one step there is no coming back. But, as strict as he is, he's also very caring and will not hesitate to give you full points if you follow instructions. 100% recommend.

This class is majorly comprised of homework and modules that he allows you to do in class. Make sure to stay on top of your assignments and you will pass. Professor Losacco loves to make his class engaging by telling stories that relate to real life situations and have deeper meanings. Overall, super easy class if you do your homework, GET AHEAD.
