How come nobody rate this guy? He's super awesome! Great teacher, gives you advice, funny, fair, and he gives you food!! Yes, he feeds you after some hard work! We had a pizza party..how many college professors do that? Becuz my class missed a whole month of class due to snow, we didn't party as much, but one party is more than enough.
One of the best professor at Umass. Wish he taught more MIS courses.
This dude is the man !!Take him if you want an A.
One of the best professors at the school.
He is the best professor ever at UMass Lowell, after Prof. Stephen Pennel and Prof Monty Carter. He teaches technical stuff with such ease and excellent examples that even a duffer can understand what he is talking about. And he is the nicest guy ever too. Take his class if u can. Wish there were more Prof. like him.
He's a great teacher. He makes complicated information easy to comprehend. You must study and read the text if you want an A though. He wants everyone to pass and apply themselves. Do every assignment he assigns. They are simple. Some idiots in class didn't do them just because and he docked them big time for not caring enough to do the assignment.
Awesome teacher ... dumb if you don't take him
The only dreadful thing about this class was having 2 presentations. Gives reviews before tests and quizzes. Very fair teacher! I'd def take him again.
One of the best professors I have ever had and one of the funniest. He does do two presentations but they are not hard at all. It took me 15 minutes to make each presentation. Tests are relatively easy if you pay some attention and study the vocab. Definitely recommend him. And he orders pizza for the class before each exam.
Awesome teacher - has fun in the class - interesting topics made more interesting through Prof. Bhindarwala's examples and explanations. You definitely have to study the text material for the tests & quizzes, but they are fairly easy as long as you read the chapters. Orders pizza for the tests!!
He's the man. Definitely take MIS with him.
Very fun, keeps you interested
Professor full of energy and always willing to help. Truly wants the students to learn the material, and makes learning a rather drear subject fun. I highly recommend this class.
Strong professor who actually took care in providing the necessary course work to students. I'd recommend him as a Prof. for any course.
Take anyone of his courses. Professor Moiz is a great teacher to get. His classes usually pretty very funny. Domino's Pizza like twice a semester. Do your HW(Only 2). Either pay good attention while taking notes, or most likely browse through the text and should be okay for the tests. Def. take him again in any class!

Great teacher, Had a 3 hour class with him once a week, was entertained the hole time. he was funny and cracks jokes. His material was on point was easy to understand. To get an A, read chapters couple times and you should be fine.
Highly recommend Professor Bhindarwala!
Comfortable learning environment and straightforward lectures. Easygoing professor and has a nice sense of humor.
Highly recommended. I wish he taught more than one course at UML.
Very good professor. Knows how to keep student interested in learning.
I enjoyed the class. Professor Bhindarwala had some interesting lectures and was very fair with grading. He was knowledgable about the material as well. He is a good professor to take.
Class was great. Book was a dry read but the professor made the class interesting and clear.
Professor Bhindarwala is a great guy with a good sense of humor. Not my type of material but he tries hard to relate it to fields that interest us. Fair grader and is very organized. Everything expected of you is laid out on the syllabus. Also bought us Dominos and Dunks on 2 longer classes which was very appreciated.
By far has to be my best professor I have ever had while attending college. Trust me, he teaches a really boring subject and somehow seems to make it interesting. The only thing that's sad is that he only teaches MIS. HW were easy, quizzes and tests were exactly what he saids its going to be on.
Make sure you get the book and read the chapters. If prof. tells you its on the test then its on the test.
Great class! Great Professor!!
Professor Bhindarwala is an excellent professor who provides students with positive feedback and encourages students to contribute to the classroom. If you do the work as assigned and have a motivation to succeed, he won't let you down. Definitely recommend him for any and every course he teaches!
Very friendly, willing to help anyone.
Excellent teacher, interesting class. Consist of quizzes, three exams and two hw assignment. He even has treats before exams like pizza or any that the class decides throughout the semester. Recommend this class with moiz, he has jokes and very funny friendly guy.
Excellent professor. I would recommend him for MIS. The material is pretty dry but he makes class pretty interesting with his jokes. Tells you what you should study/look at for the quizzes and exams. 5 quizzes and 3 exams. If you read the book, you will be fine.
Good class plus he was very helpful and entataining!!!
He is such a great professor. He's really flexible, helpful, and patient.
Not easy talking a class 6.30pm after everyone is gone but I was always looking forward to being in class. Prof Moiz makes class interesting. If you do required readings, quizzes and exams become easy. Its not a walk in the park, but with effort, good grade comes easy. Material very useful in real world. pizza, candy or wings for every exam. G luck
Excellent professor. Even having a background in engineering and IT prior to taking the course, he kept me engaged throughout the class each week. Found new ways of explaining the material for those who did not understand. Very clear about what was on quizzes and exams - as long as you put in the effort, he'll help you.
He is the best teacher I have taken so far. He kept his lecture interesting and fun. He makes complicated information easy to comprehend. You must read the book and study the quizzes if you want an A in the class. If you havenâ??t take MIS, take it Moiz. Youâ??ll learn a lot.
He's great easy class and he makes it fun
Tests are exactly like the quizzes. Hardest part is staying awake, but easy A
Best Prof at UML. Crystal clear in explaining the material. So far as u put some effort u will do fine. I love the little pizza party before test.
Great class...had taken it for 2 days previously and dropped because of another teacher but this class was great no drop required
Prof is very courteous and there is even pizza parties before tests! Class was boring alot and he uses too many personal examples from the 70's and 80's (wish he could have more updated stories) - Grading structure is tough even if you are an "A" student. Be careful not to miss any classes and study,study,study...overall good class.
This professor is not the average UMASS instructor. He give pizzas and candies before tests .Moiz is friendly and lectures are pleasant, but sometimes they are too long. The professor recomends reading text book, which is the key to succeed in this course.
Prof is a very nice guy. That being said the class is all about viewing the slides everyweek and memorize for tests. You will be placed as a group for the entire semester which he chooses at random. Don't loose sleep over the group presentation because he doesen't even grade it. A wierd side note - at the last class he handed out religious invites.
One of the best professor I ever had at uml. In order to do well I'm his class you must read and read. And pay attention to is PowerPoint lecture they could come very helpful.
Even though the class was 3 hrs long every monday, professor Bhindarwala was very helpful and kept everyone awake! He was very helpful and definitely would get out of his way to help his students. Definitely recommend anyone taking any of his courses.
Go to class, take notes, read material. Get an A that simple. Great teacher, made a stale subject fun.
The subject wasn't that bad, thanks to prof. Moiz, I actually remembered pretty much everything we learned in the class. Consists of 4 easy quizzes, 2 exams (midterm & finals), 1 short answer presentation, 2 easy analysis exercises, and 1 group project. EASY WORK, he's nice, free pizza, maybe a prize mid-semesterm easy grade! one of the best!
Professor Moiz was just awesome! Really helpful! He maid the class fun and easy to follow and if you study, you will definitely get a good grade.
Professor Bhindarwala was easily one of the most informative and down to earth professor in the entore business progran. Highly recommended and would take another class with him if available
Great Professor, works with the students & wants to see you succeed & understand the topics. Would take him again if I could!
Really nice guy. Knows his material, and is aways well prepared. He buys food for class before big exams.
Great professor, read the chapters as you go and you will get an A.
Lecture based. Teacher is funny and really knows his stuff. Sit and listen, you will pass with a good score! He explains everything and does reviews, he also sends out the ppts! He explains every part of the test, goes page by page through book telling you the terms that will show up.
He is very informed on the subject matter. I wasn't too thrilled about taking Management Information Systems but Professor Bhindarwala made the class fun and interesting. He provides a lot of options for points so not doing well on one assignment won't ruin your grade. He is an excellent professor and I would definitely take a class with him again.
Professor Moiz is very nice and helpful! The class was fun and easy to follow. You will get a good grade if you spend some time to read the book. He knows his material and always well prepared.
He had quizzes every 2-3 classes for each chapter and they were pretty easy. tests were not too difficult and he went over what would be on them. basically if you read the chapters and show up to most of the classes you have nothing to worry about. Also he brought dominos pizza on test days and he's pretty funny. highly recommended.
Professor genuinely cares about your success. He keeps you engaged in a subject that can be boring and his laid back style keeps the pressure low. If you need help, ask, he is more than approachable and always willing to go the extra step for his students. Pay attention during lectures and participate. The slides he emails are helpful for review.
Dude is the man, pizza before exams, tough grades on exams but really easy on assignment and group work.
Overall, it was a great experience taking a class with this Professor. Put in the effort and read the book you will do great. Grading criteria is spelled out on day one! He is intelligent and hilarious which makes the class more interesting. I got a great grade and would take a class with him again without even thinking about it!
Great professor. We have pizza for every exam, and snacks for final.
Subtly funny. Class was enjoyable
Awesome professor! Make sure you read the textbook since there are quizzes after each chapter. He grades the homework and projects depending on effort.
He's a great teacher, extremely clear during lectures, and a very easy grader! Overall 1010 would take again
Such a respectful and caring professor, I passed the class even without a book. Would've done way better if I had the book, this professor teaches very clearly and the class is very enjoyable, I would take him again and would recommend him to anyone!! as long as you do the reading and assignments you'll do just fine!
Guy is the man! Made boring course like Management Information Systems fun and easy. Will be looking for more classes he teaches. The pizza before exams is also true.
Professor is very nice and funny. Class was enjoyable. Trust me, I am the English as second Languages and I could pass his Class with a B+. I guarantee you will get an A for sure. Reading is very important. I would take him again if he teaches the class I need. :)
Moiz is really a great guy. Very friendly, loves interacting and getting to know his students. If you put the effort in this class, it's not a hard class. All you need to do is read the chapters, do the assignments, and show up. If you do all that, you'll get a good grade for sure. I would recommend anyone to take him. Great professor!
Very clear on expectations. He is really nice and fair. Tests are multiple choice, fill in the blank, and t/f. Take notes and put effort into studying and there is no reason anyone should not get an A.
Worth takin again
I would recommend Professor Bhindarwala to anyone. He has a very enjoyable lecture because of his knowledge of the material and his humor. He is clear and helpful with any questions you have.
Read the book. Read the book. Read the book. Tests and quizzes are based off of the book and his PowerPoint's. If you read and even go as far as to write down the definitions, you'll get an A easily.
Great professor, and there for you if you need him. Would take again, and plan on taking another class with him. Lectures are interesting, and if you pay attention and read the book you should do very well in the class. Don't hesitate to ask him questions or for help, he is very kind!
Great professor
Excellent professor!!! Take him he is the best BIS teacher. Very fair grader and made the class interesting!
Moiz was awesome! I can't stress this highly enough... READ THE BOOK! It is CRITICAL that you read and study each chapter. Quizzes and tests are on each chapter in the book. To succeed in his class, attend each class, do the assignments. His expectations are clear. If you are sincere in your efforts in his class, you'll get a good grade for sure.
Awesome teacher!! Teaches the curriculum with scenarios that make it easier to understand the subject. I would suggest him to any of my classmates.
Professor Moiz is overall a really nice professor. He was caring, kind, and wanted to make sure students would succeed. The tests are relatively easy, but there are a lot of questions. I generally put around 3-5 hours a week into studying for this course. I would recommend if you want to put in the effort to learn the material he has to offer. +1
Good Class
Highly recommend this professor. As long as you study you should do just fine in the class.
I would recommend! He's a nice guy sometimes he brings in food for the class. There is a quiz every class, piece of cake if your keeping up with the class there only 10 questions. there's 3 exams worth 20% each and 2 homework assignment s worth 4% each 1 group presentation and 1 individual short response required.. easy grader!
Fairly easy class if you do the reading or go over the powerpoints. Attendance is mandatory and he does give out quizzes after each class. He is such a great professor and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is taking this course.
Moiz is a really nice professor, he explains all the material and tells you exactly whats going to be on each exam.
Prof Moiz was great. Relatable and down to earth. Just show up to class, read the text and you'll be fine. Weekly quizzes to sort of prove attendance, but they aren't challenging if you read.
Good prof. and makes class enjoyable. Get the book and study the key terms!
Good teacher
He made it simple. Every week quizzes made me study. Will take him again if I have to.
Very funny and very nice guy which made me enjoy going to his class. There is a one quiz per chapter but as long as you study you should pass. Three tests, two homework assignments, a group presentation and one individual short answer presentation. He brought in food a few times which was nice. I would take a class with him again.
This professor is clearly knowledgeable on the subject matter. You should not struggle in this class at all. He gives so many opportunities to get a good grade. There's quizzes every week that are very straight forward. Just read and you should do well. The subject matter is not hard to understand and it helps to have an enthusiastic professor.
Awesome professor. One of my top favorites. Take the extra time to study for exams and you'll pass with flying colors. Pizza parties and funny lectures kept me awake and focused during the 3 hour lectures. Get to know classmates because group projects will help your grade. Would def take again!
Overall he's a awesome professor. Kept the lectures from dragging plus pizza during exams. Would take him again.
His teaching style is engaging and fun.
Easy going and very understanding when it comes to his students.
The class was very interesting and engaging. The professor is very knowledgable with the material. I would definitely recommend students to take this class. The only professor I know that offer pizza before an exam.
WAs kinda worried about this his Data Communications class because I'm not a MIST concentration but I'm so glad I took it the lecture were long but it's a night class, for exams just read and read and read and you'll be fine I passed so if you take it serious you will too .don't wait a day before the exam cuz you won't pass
I had Prof. Bhindarwala for both Data Communications and Business Info Systems this semester and both were great! The former was overall more technical, but it was important to pay attention and read the book for both courses. You get as much out as the effort you put in.
Lectures and long but if you pay attention and do the work, you'll be fine. He's a great guy and very understanding.
Great class and professor was very insightful with real world corporate experience
Professor Moiz is the real deal. He keeps classes fun and interesting, brings in pizza, and is genuinely fair and reasonable. He expects you to read the book, and if you do then you'll be fine for exams. Only a few homework assignments other than reading, so you really should be reading the book.
Awesome guy! Very knowledgeable. Like others have said you need to read to pass this class. The exams are not the easiest things in the world. But if you read and take the class seriously you WILL learn alot and isn't that the point? Would absolutely recommend him,
Great guy. You do have to read for this class, but as long as you do the tests are very fair. Definitely recommend taking this class.
Really good teacher. Didn't know what to expect but was not disappointed. Would take him again.
First, lets just start by saying what other college level professor has bought the entire class Dominoes pizza? Because this teacher did it twice! This was hands down one of my favorite teachers that I have ever taken. He makes learning an enjoyment while extremely informational, and his lectures were straight forward. Great guy, 100% loved class!!
Exceptional knowledge in his area, Uses real world examples to drive home important points. Well prepared class presentations and test are easily mastered if one does a moderate level of studying. Would take another class with him without hesitation.
A quiz every week and 3 tests total, both are easy if you study. One group and one individual presentation.
Great guy, mandatory attendance only because it was a once a week class. Actually wants students to pass and isn't out to fail anyone.
Great Professor, would definitely recommend taking him. He has a good sense of humor and just uses powerpoint to as a visual aid but goes over everything in detail. Doesn't assign too much homework and as long as you pay attention in class you will get a good grade.
I took Business Info Systems once a week for 3 hours, so in general 3 hour classes usually get boring and hard to maintain attention. The material in general wasn't in my interest but the grading was super clear and heavily relied on the textbook. READ. Really nice and super helpful in or out of classroom. I would take a class with him again.
I recommend this professor!
Just read!
This professor goes above and beyond for his students. Very understanding and reasonable, yet ensures that his students retain the material he teaches in this course, he has proven to be one of the best professors I have studied under in a long, long time. Oh, and he bought us pizza before an exam! :-) Would take again and would recommend for all.
He's been in business for 25 years. Knows what he's talking about.
Good teacher, frequent quizzes but very fair. Big fan of bad jokes. You DO have to study but as long as you do you'll be fine.
Professor Moiz is such a good professor that he really cares for student's success. As I am a new international student, I have quite hard time adjusting to new school, house, and new areas. But, professor Moiz was very kind and caring that me and many my classmates felt very grateful to take his class. Definitely recommend his class!!
Great professor with extensive knowledge. Even with an IT background I still learned a lot. Course is challenging with lots of intricate business processes to learn, but if you do the reading you'll be fine.
He was a good teacher i enjoy his class
Study mostly his slides and you should be good for the quizzes and exams. He has a lot of bad jokes that he puts into the lectures that I find extremely funny. It makes the material more bearable. I really enjoyed the course.
He is one of the best of the best professor
Great professor!
Great class. I took this class as a night class and this was my only night class that doesn't drag. The professor his funny and makes the class enjoyable. He is also great at teaching the information. This class is vocab heavy, you will need the book the read the chapters so that you can perform better on test and quizzes.
He is a good professor, but I myself didn't like the subject. Read the textbook and get ready for long tests
The material in class is a bit boring if you are not interested in MIS, but the professor did everything he could to keep us engaged and help us. He was one of my favorite professors at UML. He cares about his students, and it is clear he wants you succeed.
Exams are no joke, you must read the material. Class consisted of 3 exams, 2 HW assignments, 1 presentation and 1 group project. You must read the chapters if you want to have any chance on the exam. Professor is laid back enough and easy to get along with but the classes will never end early.
Prof. Bhinderwala is a very nice person. His attitude is very friendly towards the class. However, his exams are pretty tough and require a lot of study from the textbooks.
The test and quizzes were tough for an intro class. The reading was long and dry.
Weekly quizzes , drops the 2 lowest grades.
I would recommend Professor Moiz Bhindarwalaawa to anyone who is planning to take Business Information System course, because he advises, encourages, and motivates us to do our best. His class is interesting and animated.
Very disorganized class, without clear guidelines on anything. Assignments are listed in advance but direction is completely lacking. Quiz or a test every week. Does not return work or provide grades. Going in to the final, I have no idea how I am doing. The class is an exercise in read the book and powerpoint. Avoid!!!
Hard class, 1 group projects, 1 individual project. If you want to pass you must go to class and take lots of notes. His tests are with long with very confusing questions. 9 total quizzes but he drops the 2 lowest scores.
Professor Bhindarwala is extremely knowledgeable in the subject and provides lots of real life examples to help understand confusing topics. He cares about the students actually learning the info and retaining it. The class is once a week which inherently requires you to do some class prep during the week. The class was well taught and enjoyable.
Professor Bhindarwala is one of the nicest professors I have had. He noticed that I was not doing well and reached out to me to see if their was anything he could do to help. There are quizzes for each chapter, which can be very confusing at times but just read and listen during the slides even though the material can be very boring.
Professor Bhindarwala made the class bearable when it wasn't the easiest subject. He made sure his students did well, dropped the two lowest quiz grades, scaled the first exam, and provided extra credit. His lecture notes/slides made the class understandable and in the end I would recommend anyone to take his class. Thank you for actually caring!
Professor Bhindarwala is very passionate and caring with his teaching. He is super organized despite the amount of students in his class. Gives lots of opportunities to succeed the course. Reading the material before class would help a lot! I highly reccomend to others
Non-cumulative Final, and weighted the same as other Tests. Group project is assigned first week. 2 or 3 Homework assignments throughout the Semester. Grades project based on you showing up and not on content or presentation. Easy-going and easy class. Tests are multiple choice/True or False and mostly all vocab
I had him for a 3 hour business info systems night class right after another 3 hour class so was mentally exhausted by the end. However he is a great teacher and gives 2 small presentations (one is group presentation) and 4 exams including the noncumulative final. Counts 6 out of 9 quiz grades and is understanding about problems with assignments
Just an overall good dude
Mr. Bhindarwala was an amazing professor! He even took the time out of his day after class to assist me in career goals for the future, so he is unequivocally super caring about the students. As per the class, the textbook may be a lot to begin with... but just fraction it off per days leading up to the exam. 6/9 quizzes counted. Would 100% retake.
As long as you read the book you will be fine. Emails back right away with any concerns
9 quizzes with lowest 3 dropped. 3 exams (including final). 2 homework assignments. One group and one solo presentation. Moiz is a great professor who knows what he's talking about and is a great guy. A lot of material but if you pay attention and read the chapters there's no reason why you shouldn't get an A. Would def take him again.
Once in a lifetime you'll come across a Professor that truly captures the history and cultural distinctions of the modern world the way a person can subjectively perceive it through our guided field of perspective. Moiz's class and his glorious beard guided me through the complexities of modern day business information systems.
Great professor to take for business info systems. Had a quiz every class but he drops 3 of them. Exams are right from his study guide and are clearly outlined. Grading was really fair and I would definitely take him again.
Really enjoyed the class. Professor is a great person. Would take again.
Class is easy if you put in the work.
Moiz, noise with an M haha. Exam grades were low but he gave out some easy extra credit. all and all was a good class, team work was apparent within all groups for presentations. Whatever you do don't look at your own presentation when presenting, he might just tear you up. Which is Hilarious btw...
Professor Bhindarwala is a very nice man. Don't show up to class tired though as he will put you to sleep. He is a heavy lecturer. You might think he gets tired of talking, he doesn't. The assignments are straightforward, had a quiz every class but the 3 lowest quiz grades were dropped. There's one PowerPoint group project at the end, it's easy.
Pay attention in class and PowerPoint and you do well
Professor Bhindarwala is a great and respected professor. He is funny, but the class is naturally lecture heavy. The exams are MC/TF.
Awesome professor, funny and cares about his students. Makes a 3 hour lecture comfortably exciting. Would take his class again
Great professor and professional but very serious about the education. He is very caring for your learning. He is ready to help you must let him know you need help. Be ready for every class and his 60 questions exams at least, 3 time before the end of semester. Humorous professor. You will enjoy his class.
Great teacher. He has long lectures that can be boring sometimes even so he really is funny, cool, and passionate! I would highly recommend!
Great professor! This was a once a week class so there was a quiz at the end of every class about the chapter gone over during class. Exams aren't hard if you study, if you do not study you won't pass. Show up to class because sometimes he gives you 100s on the quizzes for the people there. Two homework's that were very easy. Highly recommend!!!
Lecture heavy- he talks all class long. Not caring.
This man is amazing. His Business Information Systems Class literally caused a change In career (or rather major) due to how interesting and captivating he made the subject. The lecture can be tedious and is a bit PowerPoint Heavy but he has a very witty if not unique sense of humor. I highly recommend taking Professor Bhinderwalas class, 10/10!
Wish the class was a little more interactive, but overall good and fair professor.
He is a cool person but the lectures are very long and content heavy. The quizzes and test are multiple choice so you need to pay attention and study in order to pass. No complaints on the professor but the material is super tedious and word heavy. Its easy to get lost.
Great class, lecture heavy and 630-930pm is a tough time to sit through 2-3 hours of lectures but he is a very knowledgable professor and was helpful and flexible during all of this corona nonsense.
Bear in mind these lectures were virtual over Zoom due to COVID-19, so I imagine his in-person lectures are very different. Great professor with a sense of humor who knows his field well. His lectures, while a bit hard to process due to his accent, are great as he presents more than what is actually shown on the slide.
