He is a very good teacher. Requires a moderate amount of course work; meaning - if you're an 'A' student, then you'll get a moderately easy 'A' in the class. Not too easy, but worth having as an instructor.

Great Teacher, Loves his job. Helpful and entertaining.

Great teacher, but not as prepared as he should be. To much last minute stuff. Your grade reflects what you earned, which is how it should be.

I loved the class, maybe cuz i was the only girl :) his assingments were unclear at times but if you need help he is ready to help you &offers help sessions. tests are easy, just print out your quizes, same ?s. we got along great, & he teased me, once again i was a target since i was the only female

Mr. Ormond was probably the funniest professor I had (and he didn't even try to be funny!) Many complained the assignments were too difficult. They were easy! The difference between me and them? I actually read the assigned course materials and text book! Most guys I knew that complained never read a single page of their text books.

Pat is a very qwerky, but that can be entertaining at times. He does go really fast when you are learning a new system (excel, access), so you can't miss class or you will be fully lost. He is also hard to get a hold of after class. If you want a class you can miss occasionally don't take it from him, you'll fail.

Pat is a really nice guy but he's kind of quirky. If you don't get caught up on his imperfections you'll find he'll go out of his way to help you succeed in the class.

Stupid people. I'm not a computer major, not great at computers yet did really well in his class. I've rarely seen a professor try harder. He cares about us knowing the information, not about his curriculum. Yes he does go fast, but will slow down for anybody at anytime. He's also available outside of class, a lot. Great professor.

Pat is a good teacher. He explains the assignments thoroughly in class, so you have to attend class or you will quickly be left behind. I would recommend him to others.

I was not going to take this class from Pat. Someone told me of his poor rating on this site-his class fit the only time that I had available and I have been extrememly pleased. I hate filling out these things but in fairness to Pat the record needs to be set straight. I have never had a teacher that is willing to devote more to students succeding.

I totally agree with setting the records straight on this. Pat is very dedicated to helping his students succeed and sincere. He does go pretty fast but he's extremely knowledegable with computers. He's not completely organized all the time but is VERY helpful to students if you speak out. I strongly recommend him--he's a very cool professor.

Pat is great. He will bend over backwards to help you. The final is challenging, but he his willing to help you for a slight reduction in grade. Focus on the quizzes & the assignments are mostly done together in class. Pat is great, I highly recommend him for this course.

Good teacher, very passionate. I liked his class a lot, most tests were open book and the assignments were a lot of fun. He isn't the most knowledgeable about some stuff, but it was a fun class.

Great teacher will help you as much as he can. His homework is hard to understand, but if you just go to class he does almost all assignments in class.

Great teacher. I first took the class from Mulberry and dropped it. I love Pat's class. He is very helpful as long as you try. He gives you a lot of extra credit opportunity and does almost all of the assignments in class. I highly recommend taking his class.

He was an easy professor to work with. Was willing to help me out and give me more time to finish assignments. He was also easy on attendance which is nice to have especially when life is busy.

Pat is a stud. He makes class enjoyable. I would definitely recommend taking his class. He works through most of the assignments with you in class. As long as you attend class and pay attention, you shouldn't have a problem getting a good grade.

What he teaches in the class is exactly what you find on the exams. I took this class with reservations but got an A. You have to work hard and put in the time,anyone who says he doesn't teach well is wrong. Do the homework and quizzes on time and you'll do great. Also watch all his podcasts before any exam. You will need the textbooks.

The class is hard no matter who you take it from. I thought I had great knowledge of Excel but this class showed me I needed to learn a lot more. Professor Ormond is great. He really wants students to do well. Do Quizzes and watch his Podcasts.

Pat is a great professor, very helpful and respectful. Attendance is mandatory, expect to lose points if you miss class, difficult to makeup. Class is mostly hands-on using the software. Some reading is required, but make sure you know to use Excel. Was the best class I took this summer.

This teacher goes fast when teaching materials because most of the students who take him have been doing Information systems for years thus he assumes you already know the material. The right student to take this class is one who can remember things really well, be able to be clam when it's very stressful, and good problem solving skills.

Great Teacher, every class is fun! He does move fast with the assignments but will do a podcast if you don't get all it. I didn't expect to get an A but he gave so much participation and extra credit that it bumped me up. You must attend class or you will probably fall behind. He is very set on due dates so pay attention.

Pat is a great teacher, very energetic. But I've taken 2 different classes from him and each class was basically the same, an Excel/Access class with student presentations. The book is used for weekly quizzes. Assignments are time consuming, and if you miss class, difficult to complete since the instructions are not clear. But he is very helpful.

I really liked this class. The teacher is very energetic and cracks jokes, which are usually funny. My only problem with the course is that the assignment instructions are very vague, & he tries to not explain anything b/c he wants us to create unique work. Don't be afraid to ask lots of questions- he might tease you, but it's the only way to pass.

Pat is AWESOME and will do anything to help students. There's a lot of busy work with this class but the tradeoff is that you will learn a lot. Students complain about the workload and prof but not an impossible class. I didn't take pre-req's and had no prior knowledge of excel or access and still got an A. One of the best Professors I've had.

I loved Pat, he is a really amazing guy. But he is a bit scatter brained, but you can tell he is really passionate. You do have to be in class and follow along very carefully to get a decent grade. Don't attempt to go ahead, and listen very carefully. I would recommend him, but be patient, be in class and listen carefully. Knowing MLA is a must.

pat gets bad reviews for no reason. He is clear cares about his students and the subject matter. He is extremely knowledgeable about the subject and has worked in industry unlike many other teachers that have never left academics. I dont understand the low rating he is excellent.

He was a bit confusing describing assignments. Has some hard outside of class requirements but felt they really helped to introduce students to the work force. Also, bringing in outside lecturers was a great addition to the class.

He was a great teacher, really engaged and enthusiastic and sort of funny. The outline of the class and assignments are REALLY confusing, BUT he's there after class everyday to answer questions and can explain it, YOU JUST HAVE TO ASK! and I think he does that on purpose to get people out of their shells.

Told great stories. Did basically all the assignments in class, so little to no homework. He clearly said if you can still pass, no need to come to class. Very understanding of his students. The class was very easy and I still learned a lot; that's a perfect combination! HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!!

Work through assignments in class. His instructions can go by a little too quickly and you can get lost. One small group project.

I thought Pat was great! Super understanding and the class is really easy. If you understand the material he doesn't care if you show up except for on test days. Does the homework and assessments (different than tests) in class with you, expects you to do the simulation at home (super easy). ASK QUESTIONS! If you don't understand he will help.

He is a great professor. He goes through the course assignments with you in class. If you attend class, you will rarely have assignments to do outside of class. He is understanding and is always willing to help if something doesn't make sense or you are lost.

He goes over the capstones with a video, super helpful. Also he is available even before and after class, super helpful. Don't use a mac for this class you'll run into a lot of problems.

Ormond really cares about his students and you can talk to him about anything. the class i took was info 1120, so an introductory class, but it was really eye opening and insightful on what i want to do in a career. SUPER easy class too. i will admit, a lot of times when hes explaining assignments and things its hard to follow and understand
