Not a bad instructor, very friendly, always willing to help you if you need it. His quizzes may be hard, but if you keep up with the assignments and study hard, you will do well in his class.

DeVries is an alright teacher. He is knowledgeable but isn't enthusiastic. The material is difficult but he curves tests. However, there are still too few tests. You don't have to go to class. It's an easy B but a hard A.

He's very boring and reads powerpoint slides, he does not know how to teach. If you read the book you will do just fine. He also curves and at the end of the semester he gives you a project which will really help out your grade. Take him- very easy.

If you are good at long chapter reading and then taking MC tests, then this is the class for you. You also have a group presentation to do. He resembles a older 1990's sears catalog model for menswear. Made a low "A".

If you read the book, you will recieve an A. If you come to class and don't read the book but pay attention and come to class for the review and study the review, you will make a B. Easy presentation to help final grade and article presentation to also help final grade. Overall, good teacher.

Class is boring, just reads off of slides and adds his own commentary. Just do the exam key terms and the study quizzes and you should be ok. The project also helps, as long as you put in an effort, he'll give you an A.

He is okey,about grades ... can make and easy B but hard A.Curves his grades. Need to read the book verbatim

I like his class. He is kinda of quarky and geeky. He will help you anyway he can. The key is you HAVE TO ASK!!! HE really is kinda cute in a nerdy sort of way. Eye candy from my perspective.

this class is so damn boring and there is sooooo much info to remember. You actually have to read the chapters, page for page because the exams are not just over vocabulary words, the exams are over everything that you read. his lectures are kinda helpful.

I guess its not a secret anymore that this class is "falling to sleep" boring but he definately knows what he's talking about, just needs to make it more interesting, but hey!! theres really not much you can do when the material itself is already boring. Try to read everything in the chapters if you want to ace the test, he curves too.

It's a very boring class, he just reads the slides. No review sheet for the tests, he won't let you know what will be on the tests, you just have to read the book! But he does curve. One group presentation & 2 articles.

Take every test and get atleast a C on each.....then complete the easy prensentation and individual tech presentations....and you'll get a B.....try a little bit harder and you'll have an easy A!!!

This teacher is a very good professor! He is very clear, easy, and makes class fun! If CIS is your major, I recommend this professor because he is excellent!

Material is boring, but he makes it easy. You get a full review for each chapter. Know the terms and answers to questions. I made an A and I hardly ever attended class. I studied the reviews, took the tests, completed both articles (easy points!), and did an easy project (more easy points!). He tries to give you good grades. Highly recommended!

The easiest class u are ever going to take in college. Take this professor and it would be much easier. He expects you to memorize way too many terms ans concepts. WOw it is crazy during the summer. What helps is that it's all easy stuff. He's boring, but I am sure u can live with that. He wants everyone to make his/her A. I strongly recommend him.

It's one of those classes you can read yourself or go to class to view a thousand slides. Either way, he is easy. made a 70 on test1 and still made 90s on others for an A. No stress,

easy class, if i did my articles, i could have made an A. Attend class if you wish, but I found that studying the reviews and the key terms is enough to earn at least a B.

You have to read the book, he gives curves and he grades easy

He is just fine, but this subject is really boring. 5 exams and one group presentation, and introducing articles on your own.

This was a easy class just make sure that you read the book. He is a very fair professor, if you do the work and cant pass this class you shouldn't be in school.

Easy Class, Just study online notes and go to review the day before the test. I made a B and never used the book. All powerpoints are online. Very nice teacher and will help if you need it but the class material is not difficult

took him in the summer. the class is VERY BOREING. but not hard. 4 tests, 2 articles and one group presentation. His test are kind of hard but he does curve. you should be fine if you READ the chapters and study the powerpoint quizes. tests are not based on lecturers.

He is EASY Teacher, not attendance count, 4 test, 2 article and 1 group presentation, but his class little big BORED but EASY.

I took him in summer session 1 and it was 4 test and 1 presentation. Test questions require that you read every chapter however they are very simple. Just definitions almost. He curves like 4-6 pts on every exam. If you cant pass him then you need to drop out and sell goggles.

This class was very easy. do the practice quizzes online and study the bold print in the book and you will do fine. For the project just stay within the time limit and you will get an A. Good class to take online

THIS IS THE TEACHER TO TAKE. Read the chapters and review the $10.00 premium content that is on UHD Vista and you will be ace this class. Most of the questions on his exams are from that premium content, however, you still have to read the chapters at least once to understand what they are talking about. I was going to buy the normal textbook from

This professor was great. The class itself is not hard. Tests are easy and knowing the terms is a must. Very boring class I fell asleep at times, but very easy. Highly recommended!

Nice teacher, he gives many opportunities to pass his class. His tests are difficult but he curves them. Presentation and article are easy grades.

I liked this class. The material was interesting and pertinent. He stuck to a clearly outlined syllabus and graded fairly. I learned a lot but never felt overwhelmed. Go to class, take a few notes, read the chapters and study the key points and you should do fine!

If you are serious about using what you learn in school and applying it to a job you hope to have after graduation, then TAKE HIS CLASS! Assignments are reasonably scheduled and nothing is that hard, it's just new. OL simulations are easy if you take notes, exams are easy if read the book,great Prof. People who complain are the ones who don't study

He's cocky but cool. Simulations are confusing but he'll add ~10 points to your overall grade. Exams are curved about one letter grade up. Read the chapters and understand them. Presentations are easy A. Made it out with a B...just 3 points shy of an A. Don't expect handouts from him, but he will give you many opportunities to do well. Recommended!

Class is structured around an actual project. Form up with a good team and you will be okay. Some of it is time consuming, but it's useful if you plan a career in CIS. There is one exam that isn't that hard if you study the book.

Just took him sumer 3 he is not hard just need time to study. He is a verry nice professor. Just suty the slideshow you will be fine.

One of my favorite professors, although some of the quiz questions are weird. He's incredibly nice and helpful and the class (online) is go at your own pace. I hope to take him again.

Semester long project class with phase reports (4-5), meet only 4 times in a semester. Only 1 exam in the middle of the semester over 6 chapters (MC, 100 questions, 1 hour). CHOOSE YOUR TEAM WISELY because 16 weeks is a long time if your team doesn't work with you. Tough grader on reports (grammar)oral presentations (don't go over). Great class

This was an online mini summer course for me. This is a great teacher. 3 Tests are not hard, but gives 50 MC for one hour. We had a group project but it wasn't bad at all. Easy A if you read and do your part. I never had to email him since everything was very straightforward. I would definitely recommend and take again.

Weekly quizzes over each chapter, 2 discussion posts, 1 small paper, 2 team case study's and project, and final. It really isn't that difficult since you can work ahead at your own pace. The most challenging were the team assignments (because of students - not him) but, he is very specific on what to do and how to submit your assignments.

I've taken this professor twice and each time was a breeze! This class has 3 questions due for each chapter every week. 2 articles to find and write about, a video of yourself - super easy. 3 case assignments and a ppt presentation as a group (super easy). Only tests are the midterm and final. Questions are from everyones questions for each chapter

The class consists of a group project that is worked on all semester with your assigned group. One midterm exam is all for tests. Clear grader and tells you what he expects up front. He is a very reasonable professor and you can learn a lot from his class. The workload is not bad if you stay on top of your assignments. Would recommend for this class.

Weekly quizzes over each chapter, 2 discussion posts, 1 small paper, 2 team case study's and project, and final. Keep up with your due dates and follow instructions and you should be fine. The group project can be stressful (what I heard from others) depending on your team so choose wisely and should start asap. Final is comprehensive

We read all chapters from a business analyst for dummies textbook. We had to come up with 3 questions /chapter of our own to turn in for hw grade and the professor would pick them out and quiz us every week. test consisted of all the questions turned in along with 3 test and comprehensive final. one group project and 2 other assignments

DeVries has leadership roles because it seems like he has no desire to rule others. Moreover, he is an asset to UHD because of his capabilities, dedication and intense drive. Not only does Professor DeVries radiate a very sympathetic image to his co-workers (told first hand) but to his students. Furthermore, the students admire him.

The professor is an excellent educator and well wisher of his students, goes above and beyond to explain the ERP learning materials and is knowledgeable on details of various softwares such as oracle,hadoop and various platforms such as saas,paas and iaas. Please do yourself a favor and pick him.

Quiz due every week. Has 12 quizzes a few group assignments and a group project and one final. Follow foreverincollege on quizlet to study for quizzes and the final. The quizzes are done through Lockdown browser so you have to be sure to study for them. 20 question per quiz but only gives 10 minutes to complete each quiz which is tough.

Great professor! He grades competitively in comparison with other students for essays and 3 group projects. If you don't put in the effort or get stuck with a bad group you will make a low grade. Assignments include 12 quizzes due weekly/3 Group Projects/ 3 Discussion Posts/ Final Exam. Quizzes can be turned in a week late. Take this professor!

Great Professor but you do have to read a lot if you want to pass.

Definitely take him, all his exams and assignments are online and opened up on day one. you can work on your own pace. just took him again next semester easy A

Took him for both 4340 & 4312. Laidback, curves tests sometimes. Good emailer, fast grader! Highly rec taking 4340 & 4312 same semester. The same students will overlap for both classes. Everyone wanted to graduate and they were a big help on GroupMe!
