STAY AWAY!!!

Cross your fingers and hope for the best. Use ACDC method for multi choice.

this guy is really lost, never hands anything back before the end of semester not even midterm results!

Worst teacher in the world...worst class in the world also! Can't understand why someone would think he is good at teaching. Stay away...unless you want to get screwed over! I can keep going, but i'll stick with this!

All I have to say is that he curved all the final grades downwards! Stay away, the average on the midterm was 44%, he lies and says his class outperforms others. This is not true. Stay away

He is very unclear on what he wants. Does not reply on e-mails if thinks they are not important(for him). He gives instructions that contrdict themsels often.

Not a good MIS prof, but rather a shrink-wanna-be.Instead of clear directions be4 exams expect him to tell you to "Chillout ,relax" etc, not answer your questions clearly. Takes him forever to post grades and then he claims it's due some computer problem!Didn't he say the same be4 to other groups?

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE. i took the class over the internet and he was horrible. i set up at least 3 appointments and he never showed up. on the orientation session he did not even give an outline for the course. very unclear with project specifications. i can't believe they let people like this to teach!

The worst teacher i ever had!!!!! He enjoys posting lengthy but unclear and unhelpful messages full of flat humore. He responds to e-mails in 10 days at least. Avoid taking his class, especially if you are MIS major.

Horrible. All talk and does not deliver.

Took this class on the internet and he posts the most unhelpful, unclear messages. Project is extremely unclear. I made an appt. for the project and he didn't even help, only answered me with smartass comments.

HORRIBLE! does not respond to emails (even though he reads them), uses humour at the most inapropriate times, extremely unclear when it comes to project/midterm. He causes unecessary additional stress. AVOID

Really really bad teacher. I got lucky because I had good knowledge before I took this class but if you don't have that, you will be lost and he will not help you at all.

Oh my god... he is just awful. He does answer your emails sometimes but he is usually mean when responding. Tottally unclear course. He lost my mid-term grade. I had prior knowledge of the course so I did well.

useless class. you will not remember a damn thing you did in this class in a few months. Completely idiotic class. This teacher did not make it any better. The book we use is filled with generalities, buzz words, and publicity for specific software. I could write a book on how useless this class is

This class is actually great, as it will prepare you with an accurate understanding of the general level of incompletence you will encounter dealing with MIS "Professionals."

absolutely agree on these comments.

Horrible, horrible teaching skills. I have never witness an online class so unorganized, and he's an MIS expert!??! But he is soooo unclear, its a phenomenon!!! (He makes the final extremely easy tho.) Unfortunately, I have heard that the other teachers relate to god. Sadly, he might be the lesser evil.

He's bad. Nobody knows what to do because he is lost.

Don't know what this guy is qualified to do, but it sure isn't teaching. Unbelievably, his arrogance actually surpasses his incompetence!

at the begining i thought an online class would be fun, bu really this course gets to be very confusing and the teacher is not approchable, the work is really easy butthe class concept is confusing. Not recomended do yourself a favor and take INT 290 (course equivalent but not online)

The course is easy but there is a lot of menial work (forum posts, online quizzes...)for the online sections. Midterm and final are a breeze, you know the questions going in. Teacher is completely unreachable (he was gone to a conference for 3 weeks in the middle of the semester!!). Book is expensive and necessary. Project very unclear.

Does not teach. All info is on-line.

The teacher was not amazing. The only thing you have to do is to read the book. The exam was fair and it was easy. Moreover, you can work 40 hrs per week even though you have online class. The web project was not clear and you need to clarify with him. Overall, he answers the email very quickly.

If you are looking for an easy grade, take this class online. Dont expect the course to make sense however. I don't understand how he grades, but you always end up with a decent grade even if you fail his online exams which are impossible--even when you cheat!

In online class there is noone to answer the students.students just ask each other & rarley TA or Prof.respod to their questions. for example when is the date of our quizzes, what is the material that we should study for exam!!! very unorganized

He is one of the worst teachers I've ever had. He lacks ambition and didn't even want to tell us his office hours or where it is located. He basically doesn't instruct at all and this online class (mandatory) is a waste of time for everyone who takes it.

Worst teacher ever. He uses his own website which is an eyesore and dysfunctional. No instructions for projects. Everything is extremely ambiguous. Conflicting messages. Poor English competence. Not helpful at all. Does not respond to emails. TA's unhelpful and arrogant. Never take this guy unless you have to.

I do not recommend this course for two reasons; the content is useless and the guidelines are not clear. The problem does not so much lie with Prof Saade (he's a good guy), the course is the problem. AVOID IT IF YOU CAN. It is easy, all except the final assignment which is tedious and arbitrary.

This guy is absolutely the worst professor I have ever had. I have wasted too much time on this course so to make a long story short, AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Useless class, u have to figure out all stuffs by urself. The most confusing course I have ever had

This class can become confusing at times. Somethings are really never explained properly(mini cases were a pain to understand what we had to do). The forums were filled with questions and maybe 50% of the questions were answered. He didnt seem that helpful. The only positive is the fact that the class is easy

According to the Webster English Dictionary, the definition of the word not-getting-an-answer-to-any-questions = COMM 301 online. Wow it's almost impossible to get an answer from him or the T.A. for that matter. Besides that it was okay... not too much work.

Course and teacher are absolutely useless, you won't have to study a lot and you won't learn anything from him or from his TA. Give random grades on minicases and final exam depending on we don't really know what... In factm it was just a waste of time, money, and credits!

The oppressive quizzes and "EISEL" questions that you are marked on are not designed to test your knowledge of the (admittedly unchallenging) content, but rather to keep the class average from reaching ludicrous heights through the use of trick and ambiguous questions.

DANGER!!!THIS PROF IS KIND OF DOING NOTHING!!!! He posts the clips which are not helpful at all to your course. I have to read the very big book for the all semester to pass this class. HE IS HORRIBLE AND NEVER ANSER A SINGLE QUESTION. His TA does everything. AVOID IF YOU CAN!!!

Awful teacher! His class is a one-man show of himself making jokes (most of which are fairly judgmental towards specific categories of students). Midterms are tough textbooks multiple choice that he doesn't prepare the students for at all. They are hard to get a good grade at. The group project is a mess, no clear guidelines.

The course is a mess! Be prepared to read at least 900 pages from 3 different books, be asked tricky questions, and deal with having to work on 3 different websites. It's so confusing and time consuming! It's not worth at all! At the end, you'll learn almost nothing!

Brutal teacher. Literally reads the powerpoints and nothing else

One of the worst professors I ever had. Instead of using econcordia you have to go to 3 different sites to get course material. His midterms are BRUTAL with no educational value at all (memorize 900 page textbook). Mandatory piece of software for 60$ (with tests inside, so you need to buy it) and you use it 30 minutes tops. Avoid at all costs!

VERY BAD. I had to take this course because it was a prerequisite! 3 different websites, textbook: 900 pages to read and memorize, you HAVE to buy a 60$ software that you're going to use once. You can practice on a website with quizzes, but you don't know what were your mistakes. This course is messed up! Don't take it!!!

Very unclear !! You have to learn by heart a ridiculous amount of pages with a lot of details, we had repetitive questions in the final (or "midterm 2") and irrelevant questions... Worst course I've ever taken so far and I had to take it, it was a prerequisite. DON'T TAKE IT IF YOU HAVE THE CHOICE.

OMG !!!! WORST !!! PLEASE !! NEVER HAVE I EVER HAD LESS CLARITY IN ASSIGNMENTS AND GRADING!!!

Very unclear, very confusing ...

The worst class ever. Basically you learn nothing from this class. Makes you register for SAM online (you pay $99 and get nothing back in return). There simply nothing in SAM. The final test was worst. The questions had double negations and the were worded so poorly that you couldn't understand the questions. This class must be shutdown!!!!

I learned literally nothing in that class. The professor had no clue where he was going. The grades were absolutely unfair and random.

I am currently taking this course because it was a prerequisite for my program. It is so confusing. Did anyone actually fail this course. I am stress out about the final exam which is 60% of the grade.

Worst course ever. Time consuming and a plenty waste of money. Truly making me regret choosing this school over the other offers I got. Overall sucks and not helpful but boring video talks.

Sad excuse of an introductory class for computers. The whole structure of the class makes no sense and the final was ridiculous. I didn't a single thing from BTM 200. Too bad it is needed to get into JMSB.

The teacher does not help students for the class.

Absolute joke of a course, textbook is apprx. 1000 pages (including excel and access), yet material on the final is not found in the textbook... Saade either has no clue whats going on, or chooses ignore everything (probably the latter). glad I got a 70 on the final mostly by guessing as i had not seen the material before.

The WORST. You gotta avoid this one.

Disorganized. Send your assignments twice or he will loose them and you'll get a zero

This class is a joke. Had to sign up to 3-4 websites for the class and ended up paying around $300 in useless website fees. I learned absolutely nothing in this class. The class videos are decades old, the prof is impossible to get in touch with, and the TAs, though they probably try, are equally incompetent. Shame that it's a JMSB requisite.

AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!!!!! IF YOU ARE READING THIS, AVOID THIS CLASS AS AN ELECTIVE!!!! YOU WILL END UP PAYING $300 ON USELESS WEBSITES FEES YOU WILL NEED TO SIGN UP TO 3 DIFFERENT WEBS WHICH 2 OF EM ARE USELESS. You hvae to study 3 lessons for each quiz in Econcordia and the 3 quizes only count for 1% each. SAM23 and learninglab are useless! AVOID

easy A but you don't learn anything completely waste of time, unless you are trying to boost your GPA

he literally taught nothing. the online assignments are unclear and pointless. no feedback of why you got the grade you did, and the slides are a confusing mess. just do the practice questions a lot and try to find old finals to study off of. the questions are all the same

Oh my gosh, the"minicase " which was 20% was beyond annoying. the minicase should never have been given as an assignment because BTM200 is just an introductory course. This teacher should eradicate the minicase assignment already. So to you dear student reading this, Please avoid this course , even the online course.

Really bad data for minicase RIP anyone who needs this class

Honestly, just search for BTM200 on Reddit and you'll understand why theres so many bad reviews. I've never had any bad comments about any courses i've ever taken, but this is something else. You can find something a lot better, you might have to put more efforts than with this one, but anything is better than this.

Does this teacher even know what he's teaching??? very unorganized and his lectures are confusing.

the worst person you can possibly experience ever in your life. he has the worst personality. Such a clown, this fool has moved from Concordia to China. probably bc he was too bad they kicked him out of Concordia. :) So I guess if you are in Concordia, or anywhere in North America you are safe, for all my Chinese brothers and sisters, I am sorry.
