Ok people, I'm 100 percent sure he wrote all these positive reviews himself. And he is definitely the type to do so. Let me warn you, this guy is ridicules. All he does is talk about the old days. He does no teaching, but takes the exam questions all from the book. Boring class.

do not take him :(

Zwick is terrible. As said by others he wrote many of his positive reviews. This professor screams allot, students are actually scared of this guy. His tests are unclear, long and difficult. Expect 5 essays and homework.

long lectures that you have to sit through. tests are all from the textbook. ignore him and read the textbook and you'll be fine. not the worst. take him if no one else is available

Worst professor at BC, he is rude and annoying. He makes the class SUPER hard, 6-7 essays, The class has 2 FINALS - 1 Midterm 2- exams. Each test has 50-100 Mult choice / T/F questions which are impossible, he takes the most obscure meaningless fact from the book and will put that on the exam. The worst. Avoid

The tests are pretty much word for word from the text books. The syllabus is useless, and the assignments he posts to Blackboard will frequently have grammatical and actual errors involving due dates. Overall, the professor is a jerk, and doesn't teach the actual course, opting instead to teach a poor facsimile of a Harvard youtube class. Ugh.

At least once every class, he spends five to ten minutes telling us that he's a great professor and an inspiration to his students.

Very poor professor. Interesting class but very unfair grading. Tests are based on memorizing the textbook. You will never get anything back, and you will never know why you are getting the grades you are getting. I deserved a B+ atleast and got a B instead. AVOID!

he gives tests, online assignments, and lectures a lot. Textbook is very useful since his lectures often go off topic and he will still test you on what is on the slides so read the chapters. He is clearly a proud person so i would not argue with him or question anything he says. other than that you should be fine.

I am currently taking his class. He lectures a lot but most of it isnt on the exams. The exams come from the textbook. He tells a lot of stories and will repeat his stories. They dont have anything to do with the course he just likes to tell stories of his youth. So just study from the textbook and try to sit through his lectures and ace the test

His grading criteria is very unclear. You have to email him your papers and sometimes he lose it. He grades C or C- without any fdbk. I am not exlnt in writing but not worst. I got an A in both of My ENGLISH I and English II. This made me clear that He should be on Harvard University. He have minimum 8-12 papers, 1 mid term and Final part 1 and 2.

His style of teaching is very outdated and he gives a lot of homework that overlaps in material. So you will be writing and reading more than other classes. The papers are graded slowly and he gives little to no feedback. Also he tells a lot of stories that have nothing to do with the class.

His grading is very vague. Gives little to no feedback. Would avoid at all costs. You will learn nothing in his class

This class is a memorization class. He loves to talk about Harvard for some reason. Tries to act like michael sandel. Way too many useless assignments and tests.

His lecture has nothing to do with the tests. You can never come to class and just read the textbook. Only good thing about him is that he tells you what is due.

If you see another professor teaching this course, take him. Run away from this professor

He doesn't know how to grade. Give no feedback on your work. If you ask him any questions about your work, he gives a vague answer. He just skims your work and gives you a letter grade.

His notes are bad. You can barely read them. The lecture has nothing to do with the test

Basically a class you'll never need in you life

His class a memorization class. You don't even need to go to his class. His tests are based on the textbook. He also takes attendance once a month. He also assigns a bunch of papers that really are opinion based. I wonder if he actually grades the papers cuz it looks like his just skims through it and give you a grade. His in class writing are dumb

learned nothing. If you see another professor take him. He gives a bunch of assignments. His midterm and final were 50-80 multiple choice questions on the textbook. The final is split into two parts, one part is multiple choice, the other is essay portion. The final research paper is 7-11 pgs,single spaced, yes single space and 11 size font.

His in class assignments and writing assignments are useless. Barely provides feedback. Literally saw him in class grading someone's test during an in class assignment and he literally skimmed through the test and wrote a grade. He didn't even write anything!

If you ask him a question about your feedback on your assignment, he gives a vague answer. Loves to cut off in the middle of the conversation for some reason? Weird dude

his teaching style is very outdated

he's the only one that teaches the computer ethics class. Honestly all he does is talk. Lecture has nothing to do with the test, rather the textbook is your life saver. Lots of assignments for no reason. And his grading style is really weird. Someone got an A on the assignment but he suddenly changed it to an A-. And he loves talking about harvard.

Honestly I wonder if he even uses the grading requirements from the syllabus. He gives no feedback on the assignments. It seems like he just skims our assignments cuz theres no way in hell he'll read word for word on our assignments. Literally had 10+ assignments with a 7-11 pg paper. He may seem "nice" but it looks like he doesn't really care.

He is not bad at times. But most of the times he speaks so fast which can't be track. He gives soo many papers and exams are bit difficult i should say.

confusing teacher. One time he told us out of the blue that he would give an extra credit assignment. barely told us the requirements for the assignment & continued on with the lecture. the entire class thought it was just non-sense. He basically give random grades & barely checks ur work. u can ask if he checked ur work & he'll give a vague answer

Gave me the lowest grade I have ever received at this school. He gave me an F on a paper I spent days working on and refused to explain what I did wrong. My exams were all 90+ and the other papers were mostly As. I can only imagine how much worse it gets if you don't put in a ton of effort into this class.

Randomly calling on people. Never return and give feedback to student of their paper. Please Avoid !!!! but the school only have this person teaching CISC2820 ethic. Horrible.

His lecture consists of repeating random stories that have no relevant to the class. He does not seem knowledgeable in CS calling a trojan horse a type of virus. (it is is a type of malware). Assigns a lot of papers and readings. Class is a waste of time.

Became a political science class where we barely mention anything about computer ethnics. He randomly calls on people. He provides no feedback on the grades he assigns for papers. Skip the lectures and read the textbook.

If you have him, good luck!!!!! Pray to god every night(extra hard) or whatever you believe in. Because this professor is something else.

Exams are based on the textbook. Writing are easy but do not relate to information technology at all. The writings are usually about a philosopher. Class is extremely boring.

Horrible Prof. Lecture has nothing to do with tech ethics. Essay grade standard is not clear. His tests r ridiculous, u need to read the book yourself and sign a "honest document" which he think you may stop cheating. Online class, how do u guarantee? If u dont sent this ridiculous document, you will fail your test. Ridiculous Prof.

Besides, he is a careless. If u ask him question, his answer is vague. Yes or no is what u want for your answer, but he gives u a long story and u need to figure out what he said. Never reply your eamil, but it is fine cuz he teach more 100 students. Anyway avoid him. He is the most ridiculous I ever met.

the worest prof. I met in bc. make a tech ethics class to a political and humanity philosophy class. always give u a vague answer on anything. keep talking politics or government policies in the class. no tech knowledge. absolutely a nightmare. and he even think what we said on rate my prof about him is inaccurate. TRASH PROF.

He's cool sometimes, but brings up inappropriate hypotheticals. Essay requirements aren't clear and he assigns an insane amt of work. Final paper is 8-11 pages single spaced, but there's a second "final" where its MC and another essay. Seems to give you whatever grade he wants to give you. HWK is based on other's lectures and work, not his own.

To say this is a bad professor is an understatement. He gives unclear and often contradictory instructions on the writing assignments. There is no communication - he doesn't respond to emails and he gives ZERO feedback. Exams are 60 multiple choice questions on random useless trivia from the book. His lectures are alright but everything else sucks.

Expect to wring tons of essays if you are about to enroll in his class. Lectures have nothing to do with your exams. He will never respond to your email and will give 0 feedback on your assignments. The final exam has two-part, the first part is 80 questions, and in the second part, you have to write 6-7 short essays.

Avoid him at all costs. He teaches ethics but what he does is not ethical at all. Everything is hella confusing. He provides ZERO feedbacks . He does NOT reply to emails. He is rude and thinks he is funny. His exams are the worst and can ruin ur grade easily !!!!! Just try avoiding him and save your gpa.

Terrible. Instructions are never provided for assignments and the lectures do not relate to the book at all. Final paper which is due before Thanksgiving with horrid exam dates and the class is so disorganized. All of my CS classes are incredibly helpful and then we have this class with improper instruction. AVOID!

HORRIBLE

bad instructions and he barely talks about computers

We don't learn any of the subject in class and do random Harvard class assignments the whole time. The lectures would be good if it wasn't with such an awful course, we don't learn anything from the textbook.

A 20 page paper, 10 point font single space, due a month before the class ends, for a 3 credit class, among all the other papers, in class writings, and 3 tests?????????????????????????????????????????

Worst professor so bad and disorganized

so disorganized i have no idea when the final even is and he doesnt tell us when class is cancelled

Assigns an overwhelming amount of work that he doesn't even read and gives an excessive number of tests. His lectures are completely unrelated to the exams and assignments. Only take this class if you have no other classes or work commitments for the semester.
