EASY,VERY EASY, THE EASIEST CLASS EVER

Very easy teacher to have. Nice guy, but make sure you go to class. Plan to take him for 337 also. Tests and projects are VERY easy to do.

Let me put it to you like this. Just go to class and you will get your A. very good teacher. made classroom discussions interesting at times. There is no possible way you should get below an A in this man's class unless you dont try.

Easy,sarcastic.Go to class. He's teaching MNGT 361 Fall 03 also. Definately check it out. Best part is he reads these postings! He'll deny he's easy from the get go...he's lying!

So incredibly easy, entertaining too, tells lots of jokes, without a doubt a must take for MNGT 337.

The most nicest teacher of all in towson... if you take him you are stupid~

easy class. The final was opinionated, got an A in the class.

Fun and interesting. Lots of class discussion. Lots of reading. 2 current event reports and one 10 page paper. Tests are all multiple choice.

He hates all the other professors, but he loves you. It really was easy, can't say i learned a thing!

ONE OF THE BEST TEACHERS I HAD IN TOWSON....TAKE HIM YOU WILL ENJOY HIS CLASS VERY MUCH

super easy class. took him twice got two A's. Tell him u went to thunderball business school and youll get an automatic A.

Um, Yeah.....Sooooo Thanks For Coming....We're Gonna Learn About Spam...yeahhhhhhh.....It Will Most Likely Be In Your Email

very easy if you come everyday and take notes. not to much work.

two three page article write ups, a ten page paper, a midterm and a final. overall not hard and he wont deny it. makes class fun and enjoyable, no attendance policy but you wont mind going. def take him and the class to fullfill that gened

Easiest class... EVER although I guess I did learn some things. Don't go for three weeks? It'S ok. You'll do fine. This guy has such a dry sense of humor... almost want to go out drinking with him just to see what he'd say.

This guy is great. His dry sense of humor and sarcasm make the class very enjoyable...even at 8 am! I definitely recommend taking him. He is a very intelligent and successful business man...by far one of my favorite teachers!! Oh yea...TERPS*

I had him for an 8:00 am class this semster and I was actually quite happy I got him! He never expects the class to be awake, unlike other Profs who will give you quizzes. He is a funny guy with a dry sense of humor. Go to lab and read the texts=A!

took pass fail, so easy, i probally spent like 4 hours out class for the entire semester on it. Never came to class neither. Damn Im cool

Doesn't care if you come to class, but you should. The two tests are hard, you definitely have to study ALOT because there's so much material on them, and I'm an A student. 10 pg paper has no guidelines, but he grades as if he gave them to you. Don't take this course for an easy A. Nice guy though

This guy is the man but you have to be interested in what he is teaching. His tests were pretty hard but you don't have to write down the notes. Just follow right along in the text and highlite. At the end of the semester he gives you an easy A group paper. Not an easy A class but a very interestin

nice guy, very friendly and intelligent- hard tests but everything is pretty easy- bad sense of humor but he thinks hes funny so he is always in a great mood at least!

Very funny guy. I laughed alot and he is interesting and tries to make the class easy as possible. Knows alot of stuff and isn't all that hard. Just read, copy power point and listen. Oh, and going to class helps too.

NICE GUY, LOVES THE TERPS AND RAVENS, ESPECIALLY RAY LEWIS. ENJOYABLE CLASS TO HAVE...

Nice guy, lots of information. gives a lot of real life examples. if you can bear the lectures you'll do fine

good teacher who love maryland terps...fight on tiger

cute lil old man. likes to have a chat now and then. easy powerpoints, just highlight in the book. most is common sense. tests are okay. presentation and papers are easy as cake. take him

Nice guy.A bit of a smartass, but entertaining. Labs are a **** to get up for @ 8am, but easy assignments.No homework, just 1 group project, midterm and final.Don't take notes, just highlight the book as he goes thru the powerpoint word for word from the book.Don't have to attend lecture,but is helpful.Make flashcards for tests and STUDY. Not bad.

Took this class in the summer expecting it to be easy. Got what I expected and more. Guy is hilarious, bad sense of humor kept me laughing all through class. Lots of videos, most of which were interesting. No need to buy book (although people were highlighting along), puts powerpoints online. Guy is sarcastic through the roof, funny stories

Very funny!

Very nice guy, kind of quarky, but nice. Easy class. Take him for an easy A

annoying and very full of himself, but the class was easy, even if the assignment isnt the best, you still get 100. took over winter break and never stayed longer than an hour

Probably easier than any other COSC teachers, but has a dry sense of humor.The only thing that really irritates me is that he always makes comments to belittle students.Doesn't really give students credit for their work and it can be quite offensive.Just talks like we are nobodys who don't try or care.

SUPER EASY CLASS!!! take him for an easy A while you still learn a little about computers. Most of the information is highschool stuff but towards the end of the semester, it gets a little more interesting. No need to come to class or buy the book. Grade is based on labs and if you do them, you get full credit. easy easy easy!

Very nice. As long as you go to the labs and read the chapters needed for the test, you'll get an A. EASY

Easiest A ever. Only had to buy the lab book, other he puts on blackboard for 2 tests. Just show to class and labs. Project simple. Dry humor, but alwyas willing to help. He reads these so Hey Morris.

Easy class..grades are based on a midterm, final, and essays..no attendance required..good teacher

pretty easy class. labs are SUPER easy, and required. so don't miss them! just a midterm, final, and group paper/presentation. midterm and final are multiple choice. read over the chapters and look at the chapter powerpoints. pondfield is an interesting guy, which helps. all in all, a good class.

its an easy class. read the text book even if you dont want to some questions might be on your midterm and final exam. labs are a piece of cake. oh yea and by the way he will tell you what other students have wrote about him on this site. and if you dont show up in class and near the end you do he'll make fun of you for actually showing up for once

Good teacher. Would try to take again. Kept attention during class, and is a very fair grader. As long as you do the articles you will do good. Thank you for stopping by.

Awesome teacher for 111. Definitely take him. I don't remember if we even had a text book, but definitely had a lab book (Office 2003 Manual). Only have to study from powerpoint slides, no surprises.

Up there among the funniest teachers I've had. Very knowledgeable. Lectures are hilarious because he always talks to the sparse crowd about how no one attends....labs are easy...tests are easy if you attend lecture.

tests are easy if you read through the book. labs are easy if you know anything about computers. talks more about interesting facts than the material in lecture, but its worth going because he goes easier on classes where more people show up.

Most classes are easy if you follow directions. This one was no exception. I would suggest going to class every time because he made it interesting and funny anyways...recommended and am taking again next semester for 321.

I'm taking the COSC 321 winter session class. I have to say that he did make the class interesting by showing some videos and leading some decent class discussions. Article assignments were straight forward. It went by real fast but the exams were not too bad as long as you took the time to read all of the articles.

Took this as an 8AM and it was worth it. If you have ever used Microsoft it is an easy A. One group paper and presentation on anything that relates to technology, another easy A. Very entertaining and tells pretty funny stories. Dont really have to go to lectures but you may want to in case he cancels class the next week. Only midterm and final.

Good teacher. Make sure to follow all REQUIREMENTS for both the paper and power point...Final and midterm are challenging I'd recommend reading the book a lot and preparing early. Very funny sense of humor!

I took this professor for the minimester 2009 and he's an awesome teacher. The class isn't even over yet and I hope he'll continue to teach at Towson. Have to admit the lectures are boring, but little knowledge in Microsoft, Excel and Powerpoint and you're good to go.

I took this class in a mini mester. I bought the book but used it very seldomly because he put the slides from his lecture up on blackboard and the test were straight from them. Just remmember the slides and you should do fine. There were 2 articles, 2 papers and 2 presentations I got 100% on all of them. Pretty interesting and funny deff take him!

If you watch the tv show "House", you will find him pretty damn funny. Didn't really read the book and it cost me, but def. make sure you do the labs. Easy to get along with, and doesn't make the class impossible, since it's already pretty boring (which, he knows, and says so himself!)

This class is piece of cake. He is an awesome prof. Test are easy if you study from the book. Dont rely on ppt. Labs are straight forward. Group presentation/group paper are simple. If you follow his guidelines then you could get atleast an b

He's hysterical, totally made the class worth it, id totally do him just for his sense of humor! Plus i know he's reading this.... :)

He's really funny and is always in a good mood. I had no interest in this class at first but he made it more interesting. The powerpoints are boring but his added humor makes the class enjoyable. He's not a tough grader and the class isn't difficult at all. I definately recommend taking this class with him.

It's a boring class with easy labs. Only attendance on lab days is needed. He's a funny guy with no real lesson plan. He doesn't follow the ppoints which is a good thing. He says "ummmm" a lot. Easy B hard A. the tests are difucult. I didn't buy the book

Its kind of a boring class but he makes some funny jokes to make it more entertaining, very easy if you attend on lab days and read the textbook and slides before the tests.Also there is one group paper and presentation to do.

This dude is awesome. Totally down to Earth, and will tell you to stick it! Love this class, only for the Prof.

This is a really cool and blunt professor, however, it's a boring class. His labs are very easy but his tests are kind of difficult. Just pay attention to his powerpoint presentations & scheme through the textbook beforehand. Over all, it's a boring class that only requires 1 group paper, a group presentation, 2 library sessions & 2 big tests.

This dude is groovy; he lets you do whatever. He doesn't care if you come to lecture or not. The tests are hard, but just study out of the text book and you'll be alright. He's also really down to Earth, totally available and will chat with you about anything. He loves the Terps! YEAH!

Don't have to come to lectures, makes bad jokes (laugh anyways), and gave everyone an 100% on the group paper cause the terps won that weekend. that about sums him up. Cool guy, I wish i could take him for another class.

Among all the nice comments here, I disagree. Although the class itself is easy, this professors pompous attitude and sense of humor is extremely irritating. Having him at 8am was horrid, with his annoying jokes that no one laughed at. He doesn't require you to come to lectures, but if you don't study from the book you will fail the tests.

Solid teacher. Everyone on here complains about his "weak jokes" but they are probably upset because they are not very intelligent. The guy is hysterical, his assignments are easy, and his class is actually fun. As a graduating senior this is an ideal class. Take this class if you have an IQ over 80....

Overall, the class was pretty interesting. I really hate computer classes but he made it pretty fun w/ all the discussions. 3 case studies, 3 articles & presentations, and 2 exams. The exams messed my grade up a lot, wasn't expecting that. STUDY THE ARTICLES, not just the powerpoints. He was pretty nice, very helpful & funny. I'd take him again.

Easiest class I have taken so far! You dont have to show up to his lectures, just the labs. His labs are ridiculously easy, too. You do have a few papers, but if you do them how he wants he gives you a 100%

Easy class. Def take it if it's for a gen ed. One group paper and presentation and very easy labs which he is willing to help if you need it. Mid term and final involves lots of vocabulary. The days he lectures he doesn't take attendance either.

I 100% on every, single paper but only got a B- in the class because I didn't do well on the two exams. He's a really interesting professor - you NEED to study a LOT for the mid-term and the final though. They will make you or break you in a big way.

If you need an easy A, take this guy. He's strait forward and as long you aren't a caveman when it comes to computers, this class will be a laid back easy going class. He has a dry sarcastic sense of humor and if you laugh at his jokes, you'll probably get a better grade.

Fairly easy class. No need to come to the lectures but must come for the labs, that is most of your grade. Getting an A shouldn't be too hard. Midterm and Final are okay as long as you study. Very helpful as well.

He's easy going. Summer Class (5 Weeks)Paper takes some time, but easy grader. Mid Term and Final questions are all on the powerpoints.

Great teacher, super nice and interesting. Engaging made class I thought was going to be lame interesting and informational.

great teacher, he's straight forward, helpful and funny.you just need to read the articles and submit all the papers. exams are multiple choice. Easy going style. take him

He's a great professor. Do what he asks and you get a 100. Labs are easy. His tests are kind of hard but as long as you read the slides and study you will be fine.

Gives long lectures, but tells some sassy jokes. He definitely got some laughs out of me. Lots of his lectures don't necessarily feel like class, he tells stories about himself, but it's useful stuff if you pay attention. The tests are easy, he just wants you to pass. Laugh at his jokes & participate a bit, it pays off.

I vividly remember this class being an 8am one, but I enjoyed every moment of it. Pondfield does have a dry sense of humor, but he does speak sincerely to his students if you approach him after class, or if he feels like you're an introverted sort. I loved the assignments and since my class was so small (until final exams), I felt welcome.

He is a very good professor. He gives a lot of discussion board prompts but if you do then you will get full credit. You have a final project, paper, and exam towards the end of the year. His lectures are very boring and he has a dry sense of humor but is a great man and it's still worth going to his class even if you don't have to. Easy A

Prof. Pondfield is a great and acknowledgeable professor. The attendant is not required, but there is A LOT OF homework every week. The mid-term and final exams require a pen or pencil because it is writing exams (10 essay questions). There is a group project that requires least 12 pages of writing, which is WORTH doing it after all.

Nice guy with a lot of experience in the industry and as a professor. You could probably pass this class without ever going to a lecture. Lot of homework but he's an easy grader so it's time consuming but not difficult. Second time i've taken one of his classes, would recommend.

Very easy to get a good grade in this class. Weekly discussion boards (350 word post, 75 word replies). Sometimes a 3-4 pg paper in lieu of a discussion board. Easy grader though, just do the work and you'll get an A. He talks a lot about himself, cracks a lot of jokes. I barely attended class, lectures were very boring.

Went off topic a lot during classes

Ton of homework at the start of the semester, but not much in the second half. His lectures deal with applying the content in the real world with lots of anecdotes. Reading the book is necessary to learn the specific stuff that's on exams. He explains the assignments during lecture, if you're not there you'll have no idea what's going on.

Honestly Chill and Nice Dude. You will pass , you just can't be lazy and have to stay on top of your assignments. Also, make sure you choose wisely when picking for groups. I could've had a A but the lack of effort from my group members caused me to have bad grades on the assignment. Gives very clear and descriptive emails.

Class meets once a week, a LOT of discussion posts. Midterm and finals are online essay questions, and the group project is a group project. Try to find good members. Attendance isn't mandatory. If you need to take him, I would recommend. he's pretty lenient with due dates too, so don't worry if you submit the discussions a bit late.

He is a chill professor who wants you to pass his class. There is a lot of discussion post and a few papers for group projects. However, he will help you pass if you reach out to him. Overall a great professor.

Prof. Pondfield is kind and caring but a pro yapper. His ability to derail, rant, and ramble should be studied. He often goes off on tangents during lectures, which can stray from the course material. His lectures feel more like chats. But with focused questions and active engagement, you can still benefit from his expertise. Lots of assignments!

He is misunderstood. He just wants the assignments to be completed properly and not half attempt. If you do the work the way he asks then you are going to get a good grade. If you attend the classes he tells you how to do the assignments and get an A - SO ATTEND! The topic requires it to be done right in the real world so he grades like real world.

The professor is pretty chill, but the class has a lot of discussion posts and group projects. Doing well requires staying on top of the work and finding good group members. unstuckstudy helped me prep for the midterm and final essays.
