doesn't return homework/tests/quizzes within a reasonable time. unhelpful.
Peter is also part of the Hospitality Dept. He is a caring Prof. He works with you when you need to have special instructions. I have worked with him personally and have nothing but good grades to show for it.
Shows up and does his job. Good sense of humor.
EXCELLENT TEACHER! Very Approachable! A very fun class. Great sense of humor. Would take class again.
Good teacher. Very helpfu. Keeps the learning entertaining and enjoyable. Very good class to take, easy to learn, and easy to get good grades.
Took his software applications course online. Was a great experience. He's got a great personality, did audio recordings to make the course more personal. Was very accessible and fair in grading. Great professor!
Great teacher!! Very helpful and thorough!! =)
Great Teacher! Very Helpful and Flexible!
Great professor, extremely helpful and understanding. Flexible and willing to work with you through all problems.
amazing teacher. would do anything to help you out if you were having a problem. you don't have to attend class if you understand what your doing. all u have to do is just submit what you had to do for the week up on webct. and if you do go to the classes and miss one he has video's that show what you do that day in class and it really helps! thanx
good instructor, but smells to booze most of the time
Well he will have you buy the $90 dollar book that you will never use. He also more or less lets u teach urself he likes to talk about peanut butter jelly time and his iphone more than he teachs! His classes are an easy A but u pay for the class and leave learning nothing but how being independent is part of life.
I took the online course. This course was time-consuming but if you follow the book to a "T", and do the extra credit work, you will have an easy A. Just follow the steps. It will take many hours to complete the work but if you take your time, do it correctly, and do it all, he grades very easily and you'll be pleased.
Very explanitory
The professor was very organized and communicable, which is an extremely important part of an online course. Learned a great deal of information in the class that can be put to everyday good use. Thanks!
WOnderful class
Peter Ciseck is an Excellent teacher. I would love to take another one of his classes.
Professor Cisek is a very talented man. I took his Online CSA course, and it was a b1ast! He really gives you a fair amount of time to complete tasks and always leaves feedback on your assignments. Just do yourself a favor and DON'T take this class online with a Mac. MS office for mac is very different than Vista.
very helpful
He's an awesome teacher. Extremely helpful. This was first online class an it was cake. His weekly videos on the week's assignments were very helpful. Provides feedback. Pick him he's an awesome teacher!!!
Professor Cisek is fair, approachable, consistent, available for extra help and very clear with his assignments. There were no surprises. This was the first Distance Learning Class that I have ever taken, and I really enjoyed it. The professor was available via email, phone or in person. You can't ask for anymore than that! Highly recommended.
Helpful
This class was fun. He had a few fun projects for us to do, to apply what we'd learned. He was helpful and clear about assignments, and overall a very good prof. I'd recommend this class to anyone...I've learned a lot.
Great professor - I took this course online, and it could not be any easier!! He offers plenty of extra credit opportunities, and one would be wise to take advantage of all of them. I ended with an A+, due to all the extra credit. A great course to take online if you are a self starter. Due dates are flexible. Good all around professor!!
Professor Cisek is clear, consise, available via phone, email, or appointment. As a student, all you need to do is reach out and ask for help if you are confused or need assistance. He is extremely fair. Submit your assignments on time, advise him if you're having difficulty with something. Excellent professor.
Professor Cisek is a wonderful instructor and given the chance to take his course again I would. He is there to help and guide, not to trick and make anyone fail. He does a fantastic job at grading and giving course material. The material is quicka nd easy to understand there are no loopauls. A+ for this professor.
I think he was a very nice guy, and wouldefinitely will recomend my friend to take classes with him
this teaches is by far the best online teacher i have ever had.. Kudos Mr. Ciseck

Very good class and a very helpful teacher.
Prof Cisek was great! He was always very helpful and understood everyones frustration at the beginning of the course- very patient.

He was very flexible and helpful I enjoyed this class and I learned so much. I also used what I learned to help me with my current job.

The most awesome professor ever. Always there when you need him, even in a distance learning class!!
This was the best calss I took this semester. I love how felxible the assignment due dates were and how the video movies helped to understand thing from the start. He was always thery through email if there was any question on any assignment. Loved this class.
You'd be a fool not to take this class with this professor.
Great teacher with excellent feedback. Would take a class with him again!
Was first online class that I really enjoyed. Teaching methods were innovative and clever. This will set the bar for online classes in the future
Very funny, nice, helpful!
Awesome teacher
I really enjoyed this class, it was an online class that I actually leaned something with. He will answer your questions every time you e-mail him. SAM was the hardest part, but if you do the tutorials in the book, you will get a good grade. He is a very good professor and he has videos that are very helpful. I would take a class with him again!!!!
I had little computer knowledge and I was nervous about taking a computer "Microsoft Office 2007" class online. But I understood perfectly the assignments,he summited weekly assignments with videos explaining exactly what need to be done and he has step by step homework list of what we need. Mr. Professor Cisek makes the course interesting as he ha
Teaching ability through the online course was great
Very good teacher. Explained assignments well, always offered to help, good sense of humor.
Excellent online class. Best documentation of any online class. Interesting and surprisingly fun. Would recommend this class for any level of ability.

Definetly take this Prof.!!! I took this class online. The best online class I have taken!! He even sends you videos of step by step directions every week. Great course!!!
Professor Cisek is AWESOME. Best Professor I have had, and I am only in my second semester at NVCC. I would definitely recommend this teacher; he is helpful, flexible with grading and super nice. I loved this class as well (Software Applications).
Great experience, especially for my first online class. I would highly recommend this Professor!
Prof. was the greatest. Funny. Understandable. Quick to get grades done. Straightforward.
Professor Cisek is one of the best instructors I have had at NVCC. If all my teachers were like him, I'd get straight A's! He is super helpful, very nice and has a great sense of humor. I would definitely recommend him for the online Software Applications class. Even if you've never taken an online course before, Professor Cisek will help you.
The best teacher I have had so far at NVCC.
just a really great and resourceful class.
Professor Cisek is a wonderful teacher. He helps you out in every way he can. He gives you extra credit to do if you choose to. I would recommend him as he was recommended to me.
Inspirational and motivating, learning at it's very best.
Professor Cisek runs his class in a very professional manner, and is always willing to give help when needed. His teaching style is clear and concise.
If you are looking for a CSA class online that gives you the quality of classroom you are in the right place in Cisek's class.:) Very,very,very recommended!!!!!
I was initially apprehensive about taking a Computer Software Applications class. The way it sounded was enough to scare me. Professor Cisek completely changed that. He is an amazing educator. He provides excellent resources (what can get better than weekly video tutorials?)& he is responsive. Regardless of the grade I get, I give him an A+! -mg
Professor Cisek is awesome! Taking his course on-line was such a great experience. He made it feel like you were sitting in a real classroom. I wish all on-line professors were like him!
Great Class would deff. take this teacher again if I could.
I loved this class. Online was great because you can move at your own pace. The text is very helpful and you'll actually learn something in this class that you can put on a resume. Professor Cisek is great and is always available to help or answer your questions. Highly Recommended!
What an awesome , Helpful teacher. You do all the extra credit you are going to pass this class 100%. Great professor could not ask for more.You need this class and want to learn something this is the one. Very fun and makes it interesting. If your late with work he works with you. You dont take this class you are crazy. A pass with eyes closed. <3
AWESOME PROFESSOR! Online class, I was worried knew NOTHING about computers and now can not believe how much I learned. The text book is GREAT and the help from Professor was awesome. He was VERY flexible and helps you tremendously when you are worried. His videos are GREAT and HELPFUL.Foolish if you do not take this class.
The best Professor at NVCC. Always there to help. With effort and the extra credit given each week makes getting a A easy. I would definitely recommended Professor Cisek.
Very good - take his class
Enjoyed the class very much. Professor was very helpful, grdes were promptly posted and the open communication that flowed thought the class was great. I learned alot. Thanks Professor.

Lot of chance with extra credit also. would be a fool to not take this professor if needing a computer class. Love him awesome professor.
Mr. Cisek was an awesome teacher, wish he taught more of the classes I need to take. If you have a hard time with computers he is always willing to help, and is very flexible with deadlines. Nicest guy ever, DEFINITELY take his class.
He made the class fun and easy to do. He is very helpful and understanding when it comes to computer glitches, etc. Definitely take a class with him!

Awesome!!!!!!
Cisek is one of the cooles professor i know. The class is super easy, and he is helpful
Professor Cisek is so great. I took his Computor Applications class through the summer, and although the material was compacted into a quick summer session, he made the work very doable and not completely overwhelming. The class is very self paced, but he is there the entire class to help you on anything you need. If you do your work, you will ge
It was a great educational experience with professor Cisek. He is very professional, patience and he has excelent qualities as a professor. I highly recommend to everyone to take Intro Sofware Applications course with Professor Cisek. You will never have any regrets. Great success to all.
BEST TEACHER I'VE EVER HAD!!!!!!
I took his Intro to Software Applications online class and he was amazing! Best online teacher I have ever had. Everything in his class is so clear and to the point that it was easy to understand. I highly suggest everyone takes this course with him!!
Professor Cisek was very helpful during this course. I was not very savvy with microsoft office, but was able to use what I leaned in my daily work. I really appreciate the help and the knowledge that was given.
Prof. Cisek is extremely helpful, whether you are a beginner or advanced, but still need the class. NEVER boring, and very flexible. He will give you all the help you need to get an A.
Peter is easily the best teacher I have had at Naugatuck Valley. He makes eveyrthing so easy to understand and is extremely patient with helping you through tutorials. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing before this class but Peter made every section in the class so clear. This guy is great.
Mr.Cisek is one of the most helpfull teacher at Naugatuck Valley Community College.He makes you understand the tutorials easily.when i took this class at first i thought that it was gonna be had,but at the end of the semeter i realized that this was the easiest class, and Mr Cisek was the best teacher that i ever had :)
I know this is the computer science section, but I also had Peter Cisek for Food Prep 1 and he helped me understand the fundamentals of cooking. Before this class I had no idea what I was doing in the kitchen but Peter helped me understand the basics of how to cook which has come in handy in almost everyday of my life. Peter is a great instructor.
Great Class and very helpful with problems
i enjoyed this class and felt the professor did an excellent job teaching us what we needed to learn which wasnt easy bieng that this was an online course.
It was an online course. It was great. The professor was very helpful.
This class was exactly what i neeeded to better myself for work.The professor was very helpful and respectful,the class is designed perfectly so a student can succeed.
This class was extremely beneficial. I had to take it for my major and was not looking forward to it. However, I learned so much about Microsoft that has helped me in my other classes. He is a great professor. Definitely take his online class!
he answered questions in a timely manner
he is a great professor the class was easy but with lots of work but you have enough time to do it and he gives extra credit just in case you need it. good luck
Take his online class! So easy! Very helpful and quick with responding to e-mails. Extra credit tutorials available for each learning module. Organized and simple. Mr. Cisek is a must for anyone taking a computer course.
One of the best, nicest, most willing to help professors ive ever had. took this course as an Online summer course but was haveing a lot of difficulty because i could not afford to purchase the book.he allowed me to come to his lecture course and use his book, and stay after class to help me catch up. GREAT teacher, highly reccomend.
Was very helpful
He was very helpful! I would take more classes with him if it fit my major
This is definitly a course i would reccomend. i only needed a free elective so i took this course because i already use Microsoft office 2010. I took the online course but was having issues and he allowed me to come into his class so he could help me. He is a GREAT teacher, VERY helpful and will do anything to help you succeed in each assignment
An overall great teacher. Very witty, very funny, very engaging with students. I would highly recommend this teacher, he makes the class fun and makes his classes so that ultimately noone will fail, unless of course they don't try hard enough. If you want to have a good time in a good class-take his class.
The work wasn't hard but there was ALOT of it. He also only gave about a week for everything to be done. It seems like a long time, but it really isn't, especially since one assignment usually took several hours to complete. It was an online class, so keep that in mind. I got an A so I can't complain.
He is not only a great professor he is more like a friend. Extremely helpful to students who are new to the subject. If I ever take another computer class I hope he's my professor. Don't think you will sit back and glide you will need to do the work. It's not all easy for someone new to the subject but I learned a lot helped in other classes.
Excellent professor! Does videos with every weekly module to guide you through what needs to be done. Often lets you redo projects for a better grade. Extends due dates. Very easy going! Glad I took this class with this professor!
Excellent professor. Really enjoyed this online class. He makes everything easy to understand and lets you try again if you don't get it right the first time. He encourages you to learn.
Great professor!
Peter is totally awesome! He is so kind and nice. You will love his videos! If you don't understand send him an email he will help or have you come into the office. He will make sure you pass if you ask for help. Great online teacher and a very nice man! Take his courses! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I took this class because of the glowing reviews on Rate My Professor. And it's been one of the best decisions I've made as far as my academic choices. He is SO helpful and kind, and he gives you every opportunity to succeed. If you don't get a good grade, then you clearly made NO effort. Do yourself a favor, take CSA with Professor Cisek!!!!!
It was my first online course and on the first day I panicked, but Professor Cisek was great he talked me through it and after that it was smooth sailing. He is great at responding to emails and very helpful.
Professor Cisek was very helpful and very clear on his instructions. He gives a movie preview of what is due and this really helps you navigate all software, websites & text books that go with the class. Responds in a quick & timely manner. Has a very good sense of humor and made me feel no question was too silly or too unimportant to ask.
This is a great course to take online in your spare time! If taking in the summer, be prepared for a lot of work. It's not hard, but it is time consuming at times. Prof. Cisek gives you every opportunity in the world to pass with an A though. He's nice, helpful and very accommodating. If you don't get an A at the end, you didn't try very hard.
Professor Cisek is an awesome professor! Took the summer course and in a short amount of time I was able to learn so much. His style of teaching is extremely helpful as he shows you videos prior to starting the week. Every week starts off with extra credit. (Up to you if you want to do it) highly recommend doing it as its extremely helpful for the week at hand and comes into play when he's grading. Highly recommend this professor. As long as your trying you will pass this course no problem
Peter Cisek is an amazing professor. He truly cares about the students understanding the course and it's materials. He also makes the class easy to follow with videos rather than written instructions. Very lenient with due dates and grading. Overall, I recommend to take this course specifically with him!
very good teacher!!! Easy to follow made all assignments very clear and this was my first online class!! Any time I had a ? he would answer that day!!
Great guy I have met and he did a great job organizing the course.
Professor Cisek is a great teacher! Very helpful and knowledgeable. GREAT COURSE.
This is Not my first class with this professor three words "ONLY THE BEST"
you will NOT regret choosing professor Cisek! this was my first online class and he was SUPER helpful!
Great professor. Definitely take his class. Very helpful and clear directions.
Great professor! maps everything out very well so it is easy for you to understand what and when everything is due
Great professor. Very clear on his expectations of the class. Helped me with all of my questions and responded very quickly to my emails/phone calls (I took his internet course).
This was one of my favorite classes I have ever taken. The professor is VERY helpful, and keeps things interesting. Complete the extra credit assignments! (They help with the following assignments and make it that much easier on you.) I would take this class all over again if I could. Highly recommended!
Professor Cisek is one of the better professors there is. He was very helpful when anyone needed an better explanation on something. His course is laid out and designed easily for someone to understand. He gives extra credit, which REALLY helps with the homework. I'm glad that I was able to take his class. I RECOMMEND TAKING HIS CLASS!
Very nice and helpful....I had A LOT of trouble getting started with the class because I have a mac, was having difficulty, and got my materials late-he was VERY understanding, helpful, and accommodating. i would completely recommend him to anyone needing to take an online computer class.
My experience with this professor on the winter course was great. His outlines were straight forward,he was quick in responding to questions and emails.
Had an awesome semester! Assignments were not difficult and he is a very fair grader. Gave plenty of time to submit all work and had some fun interesting assignments. As long as you do the work you will get an A
great class
Prof.Cisek is an amazing teacher & truly cares about his students! I took his online course & his style of teaching is how all online courses should be set up. He provides detailed written instructions & videos prior to the start of the assignment. I wish he taught other course because I would sign up for every online course that he offered.
Professor Cisek is very clear and helps you with any questions you need. On line class sometimes are too fast but this on has a good slow pace.
Professor Cisek is a grreat guy! He is always willing to help and goes above and beyond to make sure you understand. Class is easy and he is very understanding. Awsome guy!
Really helpful professor, if you do all the work and tutorials you are totally getting an A!
Really One of the BEST in NVCC I did enjoy his classes. He is always there to guide you, help you ..Just an AWESOME PROF. Me encanta .*)
Professor Cisek was extremely helpful and always answered ant questions I had. It wasn't a very "easy" course, yes there were challenges but he def. did his best to help!! Must take his class! You'll enjoy it!
Awesome professor! He always gets back to you when you email him and he's really helpful.

Awesome teacher. Gives work ahead of time as well as plenty of time to complete the work.
He was definitely my favorite professor! Very helpful and worked with the students when we needed it! I would sign up for another one of his classes in a heart beat!!
Awesome professor! Incorperates real world current events in each lesson which I found made the class intriguing. He brings a lot of energy to the classroom. I will say keep up with the assignments, they will catch up to you!
OMG great teacher hes great and funny
Prior to taking the class, I had no interest in it but Professor Cisek made the class highly entertaining and made a class taken over the summer far better than I expected. He is extremely fair and an effective teacher.
great Professor to have if you want to boost your GPA. But it doesn't mean his work is easy, just that he is flexible and will try his best to work with you with the assignments, if you have any issues outside of the classroom. P.S if you're a student that is oblivious to the world, he isn't a fan of that. Good Luck!
Took online summer course,The tutorials in the book made the assignments easier to do. Overall, probably the easiest way to take the course. Professor was great.
He is a fun and easy to understand professor. The class is easy as long as you do the work.
He is a fun and easy to understand professor. The class is easy as long as you do the work. Paul r.
Professor Cisek is a GREAT professor, take him if you take this class!! Very fair, helpful, understanding, patient and really wants you to excel!!!
Great teacher!! Program that was used was a little confusing, but Prof. C took the time to help me face to face.
I took this class online, any questions I had I just e-mailed Professor Cisek ad he got back to me in a timely manner. I learned more about Computer Software, so it was definitely a learning class. An easy A as long as you pay attention to the skill-based learning assignments :)
Professor Cisek is very clear and thorough when assigning projects. His video lectures were very helpful as this was an online class. He always replied to my email questions and helped make this semester relatively stress-free!
It was a good online class. As long as you do the assigned weekly work you will learn a lot.
I was extremely nervous about taking a computer class as I am not computer savvy at all. The videos and MyITLab training were extremely thorough and I was able to follow along step by step. It was very time demanding but I learned a lot.
I was DREADING taking this class because I thought it was just going to be a waste of time that I could have filled with something else, but it really was a great class. Peter is a great person and he's pretty funny in a "if you like silly puns" kinda way. If you have to take this class, enjoy it!
Always gave helpful feedback. I have a Mac and the software for this class is better for PC but all I had to do was tell him the steps I was unable to do on my computer and he gave me credit. He was easy to get in touch with and very clear about assignments.
EXCELLENT TEACHER, Take him. Although I took class online, he had no problem meeting with me face to face to explain what I did not understand. Phones, email are also great ways of communication. Great class to take if you have a heavy course lot. First time taking a computer class.
BEST TEACHER
He is always clear in his videos (he provided a video for each unit/week) I never needed extra help but if it's needed he's there for you. I would love to have him as a professor again.
Amazing professor!! very helpful. Took his online class and he worked with students to help them with any problems they may have had. Definitely take. . There is a lot of work to do through the IT lab, but he offers advice and extra credit to make it bearable!
Took him for a Computer Software Applications Class. He is one of best teachers i ever had, he puts so much effort into helping the students understand what needs to be done and how to do it. He has videos for every section, where he explains in detail of what needs to be done. (PERFECT FOR ONLINE) He is also willing to work with you if struggling.
I took Professor Cisek online class this summer 2016. In general, the class is a lot of work but the way its layout, you don't even notice it at all. Also, Professor Cisek will work with you to get the best possible grade in the class. I'm so... happy I took this class over the summer.
Very good online class, is very helpful and is understanding. Always available to answer questions and is fair if you have any concerns. Gives time to complete assignments. Great professor will recommend to anyone needing a computer class.
Love this Professor! For someone who isn't a fan of the technical end of computers or software, Professor Ciseks class is the one to take. He takes the time to help you and to work with you regards the situation or circumstances. I wish all my professors were like him honestly. If there are more courses I can take with him, without a doubt I will!!
Prof. C is such a great professor, he is very patient, kind and is very encouraging. He met me right where I was and gave me lots of great feedback. I would take this class again in a heartbeat if I had to. If anyone has to take this class choose Prof. C. You will be happy that you did. He makes it fun as well . Outstanding job Prof C. Thank you!
As long as you do all of the assignments and get it in on time he is a fair grader. If you are confused on a particular weeks assignment he responds to emails very quickly and makes sure you understand it and gives motivational feedback throughout the semester
Peter is an awesome Professor who assured me my chances to pass were not derailed, pushing me to excel in his Winter Course, i recommend taking his class for anyone.
Great professor! Responds back to emails promptly. A lot of help with questions. Always accessible should you need him. I took his class online and was very helpful since the class is based off windows and I have a Mac.
Took online and was very flexible and able to work at my own pace.
Easiest class I've had to do to get an A. You do need the book to do the assignments but just follow the steps, it literally tells you what to do and you get an easy A. He is very flexible with due dates if you care he cares.
Great Professor! Always accessible in class and online. He encourages you and does all he can to help his students. He is very knowledgeable and professional. All that is required is to complete home works. I learned a lot. Awesome teacher, I highly recommend him ;)
Professor did well helping out students for any difficulties they may have had and solved each problem. It was nice to get free passes on assignments too.
Professor Cisek is a fantastic professor! I took CSA105 online, and as long as all assignments are turned in by the end of the semester you will get an A!
Prof. C. is is very easy-going, understanding and willing to work with you. As long as the work is done with an honest effort, you'll do well. Prof. C was also accessible via the class email to help with any technical issues too.
Very easy teacher and very helpful. If you complete all the work, you will get yourself an easy A in this online course.
Professor C was always willing to help and always reply to emails very promptly. Great Professor!
Amazing professor. Everyone should take his class.
This professor is by far one of my favorites. He is understanding and will work with you. He does not give you a hard time if you you do not grasp the concept of something. He does offer extra credit which is a huge plus! He is also willing to meet and answer any questions you have at your convenience . I do recommend him for CSA105.
First Online Class And Best Experience
Professor Cisek lets you know what he expects of you on the first day of class. He is a fair grader and understanding. As long as you do the work and communicate any struggles you are having to him you will get an A. Would definitely take his course again.
I took this corse as an online winter class most of it is through person MY IT LAB software and needs a little patience but he was always pretty responsive to questions or comments needed for help.
very easy going and very good with time as long as everything was in by the end of the semester it was all good
Took his summer course for 105 great professor willing to work with you. Easy to get in contact with to just email him. The only thing is that the course can get away from you cause it a lot of work in it so just pay attention to his due dates and youll do fine.
I had Professor Cisek for the summer Intro to Software course and he was great. I e-mailed in regards of having some fears of not passing the class and extra credit and he was great at feedback. Don't give up and do your work, you'll pass. He lets you makeup work, don't abuse that.
Excellent Professor. Clear sense of direction throughout the course, extremely fair and more than willing to work with students who are having a difficult time - whether in class or online.
I enjoyed having Professor Cisek this semester. He was really helpful with information on how to complete the more difficult modules. Definitely take him if you need this class!
I took an online class ( Intro to Software ) at NVCC with him. I read the reviews prior to choosing him and they were very accurate. Great teacher. A+. Very understanding and thoughtful. Leaves tons of tutorials available and gives you plenty of time to work on your projects. He also replies quickly to your questions and concerns.
Great professor! I would highly recommend him to others. The online software (MyITLab) was pretty easy to use. Almost all of the grades come from that software. If there is a problem that you have, just reach out to the professor, and he will help you out.
Very nice and approachable professor. He is always trying to do the best for his students and is willing to help with any questions.
I could tell he really cares about his students. I had a few question throughout the course and he was quick to respond and was very clear. He was always willing to work with the students and wants you to do well, just like every professor should!
Awesome professor - easily accessible via email, truly cares for his students to pass. Explains in detail what he expects, no surprises. Would totally take again if I can!
Great class to learn the basics in software applications. You can get a good grasp of Microsoft Word, Excel, Access, and Powerpoint. Great professor who is flexible as long as you get the work done.
This prof is the absolute sweetest! Def recommend taking him! He was really considerate on an issue I was going through and helped me so much through it all! Very kind, work was very clear and straightforward. One of the best prof I've ever had!
All you need to do is buy MyITLab and just have the work done by the end of the semester and just submit the scores on blackboard. Literally, the easiest class I've ever taken.
I took this computer software course with Professor Cisek and his class was GREAT. It was taught online and the work for the course is accessed through MylabIT. All of the work was easy mainly because the site where we are completing our assignments walks you through all of the steps to get the question completed! Highly recommend this professor!
great professor. understanding of peoples time. no late penalties. as long as you did the assignments you were good to go. did not have to attend in person classes as long as you did the work. wish all my professors were like this. def take this course.
Great prof, great class. MyITLab was VERY easy, just time-consuming. He cares about students and is easy to talk to, when I was very sick for a week he pardoned me not finishing one of the modules, so I could focus on learning new things instead. Entire class is very friendly to autistic students, clear instructions/rubrics everywhere.
Clear instructions for this online course, easy to understand. Loved the fact that late work wasn't a thing in the course. It made it so if I had something more important, I could do these assignments later. Definitely take this course online, it's better like that!
Professor C is one of a kind, you will never find a professor as good as him. He values what he teaches and is so easy going and kind. Thank you Professor C! Kathy-
Professor Cisek is going in my personal hall of fame for great teachers. He is personable, hilarious and reminds me of Tom Hanks. His course is easy to understand and he is more than helpful when you struggle, he also doesn't hold anyone back. Peter also post assignments early, I finished class 3 weeks a head of schedule. Thank you Professor Cisek!
A pretty decent amount of work. Doesn't always understand the material, but he tries his best to help.
I originally took my H105 summer Computer INTRO class to acclimate myself with common apps that will be used in college. I highly suggest to make sure you get all the material needed prepared for week 1. That being said the summer online course was incredibly easy! He's willing to work with you with any assistance needed. The course is an easy A!
As someone who is personally intimidated by computer software, he made the class enjoyable and non-stressful. It is your PERSONAL responsibility to get your work done but he will accept it no matter when it is finished within the semester. I am honestly a little bummed that I will soon be departing from this class as the semester ends.
Took this class because I needed the credit completed and was shocked at how easy all of the work was. It takes a some time to finish but is really simple. Professor Cisek is kind and understand. If you are unable to finish work, he will accept it for full credit regardless of time passed from due date (as long as its before the semester ends).
I had Professor Cisek for an Introduction to Software Class. He was knowledgeable, thorough and always available to help! Professor C goes above and beyond to make sure instructions are clear. This class was a great, I wouldn't hesitate to take another one of his courses!
This class is easy, but the work is time consuming. Also get ready for 16 emails to be sent to you that could be summed up in one.
One of the best teachers, quick when it comes to responding and very helpful when it comes to assisting with difficult assignments.
Very clearly defined expectations and structured well for students who have jobs outside of school. It is actually an asynchronous online course which is nice since you can work at your own pace.
100% recommend he is very helpful and wants students to succeed and will help you to the best of his ability.
Great skills and he's got a listen ear. Though my class was online, he responded to all my concerns via email and voice note to ease up my concerns and provide a solution. Thank you Prof.
Professor Cisek consistently exhibited approachability and a readiness to assist in elucidating complex concepts. His commendable approach to teaching, characterized by flexibility and leniency, instilled a sense of ease and alacrity in offering additional support when needed, contributing to an exceptional learning experience.
This is great class however, be ready to do work.
One of the best professors I ever had! He is very caring and understanding. I didn't have many problems but if you contact him I'm sure he will adjust anything you need. There are no due dates for the assignments, but be careful since they are very time-consuming but he gives a good amount of time to complete them.
With full transparency, I'm taking this course online and have never met this professor in person. He seems to be incredibly flexible and understanding. There are no deadlines, just an official end date, and this rate my professor's submission also counts for an assignment. I've never done an online class, this has been a positive experience.
Great professor! Loved his computer class introduction to software applications.
Professor Cisek is a caring instructor who wants students to succeed. The course is challenging but manageable with the help of unstuckstudy AI and the free textbook. Definitely recommend taking this class.
Amazing professor. All the work is done on MyItLab. The score you get in MyItLab is the grade you get for the final. So if you get an 80 with all the completed work in MyItLab, then your final grade is an 80.
Great online class! Easy A! I have a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and this class was easy to complete over the winter session (read: very accelerated), with an A. Multiple chances to correct errors. Super fast grading (MyITLab auto grades). Professor makes it clear that questions are welcome. Very reasonable in his approach to an online class.
All work is done on MyItLab. The score you get in MyItLab is the grade you get for the final. So if you get an 80 with all the completed work in MyItLab, then your final grade is an 80. This is really convenient to help you know your final grade. He is available to help you if you need it. Amazing and witty professor! Would take again!
Loved him! No notes.
