His accent can be very unclear at times. His teaching methods do not keep your attention. If you like to read, and you follow along with the book you'll do fine. A background in PC knowledge will help (moresoorless hardware and DOS experience)

If you know a decent amount of the subject of the class, and know how to Google extensively, you likely won't need the book.

Do NOT take this professor. He is a great guy, but does not know how to teach. He lectures past class time and its not useful to midterm/final exam. You need to get Cengage for this class. Mainly had to do Cengage labs and only had few assignments that he graded. Its not worth the commute. I would recommend you save your time, money, and gas!

I wanted to learn Linux and I did. the professor had an ingenious way of getting us to revise, and gave us credit for doing extra work. IF you work you will get the grade. BUT you will have to work.

Awesome ITN170 class with Professor Dusek. He's kind, friendly, thorough and informative, and super funny. He talks a lot but I found it to be fun -- more fun than a dull, boring lecture. Very knowledgeable professor and pretty lenient on grading. LOTS of homework and projects but most are fairly simple and straightforward. Easy A if you try.

Prof. Dusek is great. He's the only ITN professor I have had that actually used material covered in lecture or Cengage in our tests. I'm pretty sure my other ITN professors pulled random parts of the CompTIA tests. He has a lot of good stories that keep class interesting. Be prepared to spend a lot of time on Cengage as he assigns a lot of modules.

Good teacher best to talk to him after class with questions. Also communicates outside of class well. Lots of people were just on their phones during class which is why you don't do well in class. Gives you opportunity to redo the mindtap material even if its past the due date. Would take again.

He is very knowledgeable about the topics and gave lots of information that I found useful. One thing to keep in mind is that he does talk for a while and gives lots of information to process in a day, I would recommend taking one of his classes at a time. Although, attendance is not mandatory and you can do the class all from the textbook.

Professor Dusek is one of the coolest professors. He is very chill, and as long as you do all of your assignments, you should be able to ace his classes. Any time I had trouble with an assignment or hand on project, he helps me right away and shows me where the error happens. He likes to joke a lot and it always puts the class in a good mood.

One of the best professors i have had at nova. great teaching, I took 106 and 107 with him. Do not expect to find answers on quizlet which is GREAT. Many hands on projects that reinforce your learning. Pay attention, show up, ask questions, do hw, and you will get an A, all take home quizzes some fairly hard and can be time consuming. He cares !!!!

I enrolled in this course because of the positive reviews. But I was wrong to do so. The material was presented in a confusing manner. Not a helpful professor at all. If you're looking for a course that will actually help you understand the material, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere. Save yourself the frustration and pick another class.

Had Prof. Dusek for Sum24, on zoom. For a 6 week course it was a lot of material to cover but he takes his time to go over everything, he answers questions, appreciates participation, cares about his student's success! He can ramble sometimes but he's very lighthearted and as long as you do your assignments in a timely manner you will pass.

Personally for me I didn't like how the material was presented, but this was a 7 week class so the material was very hard. The quizzes are difficult and don't relate to the textbook at all. Whenever someone would ask for help he would just say to look online or do it yourself. He sometimes would harass students as well.

Robert Dusek is knowledgeable but challenging. He often veers off-topic, making lectures hard to follow. Tests are overly difficult, with a class average of a low D. While he is caring, the course feels unnecessarily hard. You're better off with a less-knowledgeable prof who makes the class easier, as the curriculum is almost entirely memorization.

My favorite professor at this school! He knows his stuff and likes to engage with his students. He gives extra credit for every lab, so take advantage of it—I did! His exam reviews help so take your time on the reviews and you'll pass the exams. Do the extra credits in the labs, do ALL the projects, and study, and you will pass with an easy A.

He has a very frustrating teaching style, he almost entirely teaches off of Cengage, and Cengage has problems with submissions and work consistently. During our semester, cengage chapters 3 and 4 were having persistent issues, but were fixed the day before the original due date, he then assigned the old due date which was the next day for 8 labs.

I took this course async and it was extremely tough. The course is really heavy on the textbook. The course was basically revolving around two tests; with labs and similar work being basically meaningless to your grade. I wish there was more material and test review provided by the teacher themself. Maybe it is the nature of the course though.
