This has been on e of the best classes I have ever taken. Through class discussion Professor Lindstrom guided the class and made the students look at the information in new and different ways to bolster learning and understanding.I recommend this class wanting to truly learn the basics of Tactical Intelligence.
Prof Lindstrom is great, very helpful and an awesome teaching style! Highly encouraged to have him as a instructor!!
The most engaged instructor I have had at AMU. He has high standards yet is fair and works diligently to help his students achieve and learn. Excellent turn around on grades - very responsive. Grades and corrects papers, providing substantive comments - makes the effort worthwhile. Very fair.
He is one of the best Professors I have had. He has high standards but is fair. He is also willing to work with the student. He made learning interesting and fun again. I wish the others would take a page from his book!
Professor Lindstrom teaches a challenging IS 315 course that forces a student to learn and develop. This was a tough, but manageable course and one that I am glad I took because I learned so much and am a much better student because of it. The professor provides clear, focused feedback and is very helpful. Definitely a class I recommend taking.
Awesome. Incorporates relevant and appropriate material. Open-ended questions allow students to expound on the course material through interpretation and experience. Provides timely and extremely thorough feedback. Highly recommended for anyone serious about actually learning something in college. I would gladly take a class with him again.
Class is great. You will work hard but you will learn a lot. You will get out of it what you put into it. Prof is extremely helpful and prompt. Syallbus is clear with clear and reasonable guidelines.
Professor Lindstrom did a great job in the Open Source Collection course. He provides useful feedback and helps to make each student feel that they are an integral part of the overall class success. There are a few professors there that could learn something by his example. I certainly recommend his course.
Great Professor! Very involved in the class. Creates a perfect atmosphere for critical thinking throughout the various course assignments by continuously providing timely feedback.
Professor L, was great. The class is extrmemly challenging and that's what you want. To know that you earned your grade and you have an understanding of the material. I can use the information in my real world job feeling comfortable that I am well educated on the topic. He also gives great feedback & is well traveled.
Prof. L is the best professor I have had in my four years at AMU. The atmosphere he creates is perfect for an online campus.
Prof L. is an awesome professor, the best one I've had so far through AMU. He challenges your critical thinking so that you may better understand the subject. He's always involved with the class, which is critical for online learning. I wish he taught all my classes.
Professor L. has been the best professor I have had in the 3 years I have been attending AMU. His instructions are clear and to the point, his requirements are realistic, and he was very involved in the class. He always provided prompt feedback, and was always open to suggestions which could better the course and the learning experience.
Professor Lindstrom is a fantastic teacher -- one who supports discovery and encourages discussion. One of the best professors I've had at AMU. Five Star Rating!
Creative and innovative instructor and ultimately VERY fair and encouraging.
Professor L is one of the best professors that I have ever had. His approach to teaching in the virtual environment is refreshing and spot on. He is very helpful and willing to work with ALL students and their specific issues.
He is a great teacher. Although I had to drop his class due to medical reasons, I will enroll with him again in the near future. He is always available to the students and makes time for all of your questions in a timely manner. He is among the best of the best at AMU and each student would benefit from him and the class' content.
Professor Lindstrom, is good to go. Out of all the professors I have had at AMU he is one of the top. While his course is intense and difficult it is well worth it. Additionally, Professor Lindstrom works very well with his students.
This proffesor is amazing! I learned so much and he was incredibly patient with all of my questions. He was part of the discussions and helped steer you in the correct direction in a way that didn't make you feel like a moron. If I ever have the opportunity to take another class with Lindstrom, I'll jump at it!
An excellent and knowledgable Professor, who knows the subject matter. The course entailed a lot of reading and a final paper that some may consider long, but was managable as long as you kept up with the course requirements.
Prof. Lindstrom is an extremely knowledgable instructor who kept the class moving at an agressive pace. A type of professor students will try and take additional classes with when possible!
Prof was fair, but flexible. The B- was a fair grade.
Professor Lindstrom was a very fair and patient teacher. He also provided very constructive feedback on all of my written papers. I highly recommend this professor.
In the two years that I have spent in attendance at AMU, rarely do I encounter an academic instructor who is so in tune with his students, so widely adept and highly proficient in the presented material such as Professor Lindstrom. Professor Lindstrom?s passion for teaching is evident and his ability to deliver relevant information to his students
One of the best instructors I have had in 3 years at AMU. He is a bit too easy grade-wise IMO, but very helpful and knowledgeable.
Professor Lindstrom was extremely knowledgable and helpful. Interacted with students and provided relevent feedback. Grades fairly and the coursework is beneficial for learning and has personal relevance, so it becomes even more interesting. Highly recommended.
Professor Lindstrom continuously kept the class discussions going with enthusiasim. I appreciated his comments and valued his class. He is the best professor I have had at AMU.
Fair grading.
Great professor who is actively engaged in his class. Truly the online experience that many other professors seem to lack, at AMU or any other online University. Had the fine opportunity to meet in person, and he is a very stand up individual, as well as a great professor! You will not regret his courses, as long as you put the time and effort!
Great communicator. Expectations are clearly outlined. Encourages online collaboration with classmates. I would recommend his class.
Professor Lindstrom is an exceptional teacher/mentor. A very detailed and communcative instructor that ensures the expectations are cystal clear. Always made himself available to answer any questions or concerns on the course.
Great Teacher. Very helpful and reaction time is extremely quick.
Extremely attentive to students. Provided clear, timely, and substantial guidance and feedback for all assignments. Excellent instructor. Great learning experience!
Professor Lindstrom was very detail oriented and provided well thought out comments on my work that helped me create better work and learn how to become a better writer, even though I previously thought I was already a good writer. He is very knowledgeable and his class was one of the more challenging and helpful ones at AMU.
I thought Professor Lindstrom's class was well organized and relevent. I enjoyed the class project.
Wanting to learn the material and willing to work a little-Prof. L. Quick and painless B course-wrong guy. Demanding job-You may note that he is somewhat liberal with timelines. Very good DBs. A bi-weekly paper will form your final project. Great instructor!
The professor made the course. His teaching style is very interactive and he fosters complete understanding of the material throughout the course. The course went into details that I would have never imagined, and the professor was able to bring relate the material to real world situations through his feedback in our guided discussions. I would
Prof L gave great feedback and integrated himself into our class well. This has been my fav class so far, Prof L made this class enjoyable.
Prof. was extremely thorough in his grading procedures. He offered very specific feedback on submitted writings. He is very knowledgeable on the subject matter and is one of the best Prof.s in terms of dealing with students at AMU. I would not hesitate to take another one of his classes.
For the most part, online college is an easy way to simple "Check the Box" on a résumé. Mr. Lindstrom is considerably invested in students creating quality products and this was an extremely worthwhile class.
Easily the best teacher I have had while attending AMU. To put this comment in perspective--I have one class left before graduation. He provided a learning environment that fostered critical thinking. The course materials directly related to the subject and were 100% useful and relevant. Excellent feedback on assignments. Great teacher.
The professor was very helpful and very knowledgeable regarding the course subject. He was very clear in stating weekly course objectives and discussion topics. Overall, Very Good in my books.
Easily the best professor at AMU. The class was busy but well defined. There is no question what you need to do to receive the grade you want. I look forward to another class with this professor.
Great instructor. Takes away all the downsides of an online class by being extremely invested in the students. Very interactive, fosters great communication and discussions, and provides very clear and detailed feedback.
Outstanding Instructor. Knowledgeable, dedicated, prompt...and seriously interested in his students learning outcome, while also interested in improving his own knowledge and course.
A great professor with consistent input and encouragement. The readings were highly useful and the assignments provided me with a clear understanding of why the assignments were necessary. I have honestly become a stronger professional from the course. The best thing about this professor is his timeliness!
He is a great professor. He is very helpful when answering questions about the class and gives you all the room you to complete the class.
Professor Lindstrom was great. He provided the guidance for each particular forum and let the students drive the discussion. Each week Prof Lindstrom gave his input and would challenge the students to delve deeper into the subjects to provide more intuitive answers. The final project was outstanding and made each student learn a great deal.
Excellent class and great professor. Found interesting and unique ways to foster group participation and student interaction. He wanted assignments to include facts from the textbook as well as real world examples and opinions. Great instructor and a benefit to any educational institution.
Dr. Lindstrom is an exceptional professor who maintains a high degree of involvement in the teaching process. His is attentive to details that help develop the skills of his students. He is innovative and precise with lesson plans to ensure a high quality education that translates into the real world. Dr. Lindstrom is an ideal university professor.
Professor Lindstrom was helpful throughout the class. He consistently provided solid and useful feedback to the turned in work. Everything in the class worked as a means to an end that taught a solid group of lessons. I would definitely take a class with Professor Lindstrom again.
Professor L is the best professor at AMU and he genuinely cares. The workload is fairly even over the 8-weeks. His grading system is more than fair, and he is so knowledgeable. The key is following the syllabus and seeking help if you need it. A professor that cares is rare. If this is important to you, than this is the class for you!
Dr. L. is by far the best instructor I have had while taking classes at AMU. He is quick to respond and very thorough. He does not give you a grade that you do not earn. If you want to learn HUMINT, he is the best, but make sure you pay attention. You will take out what you put in.
One of the best courses I have taken while at AMU. He really made the instruction worthwhile, fun and provided great feedback/insight. I look forward to taking more of his classes in the future.
This class was not easy. Prof. L provides great timely feedback and expects for you to challenge your peers in the discussion boards. His feedback is thorough. Listen to his feedback, incorporate it, then compare your first paper with your last and notice the difference. No question, one of the best instructors.
Excellent Professor, I would recommend him over any of the professor I've taken classes from thus far. In my particular case, Professor Lindstrom work with me on a number of cases while simultaneously holding me to AMU standards. I personally could have asked for a better instructor than Professor Lindstrom.
Professor Lindstrom was a fantastic professor in my HUMINT class. The final course project was interesting and and involved. The course was writing intensive but manageable, and Professor Lindstrom was always willing to help when needed.
Prof. Lindstrom goes above and beyond other instructors to make sure students have all the information they need to complete assignments properly and on time. Any questions I had were answered promptly and in a helpful and generous manner. I highly recommend his classes because they'll challenge you but also make learning more easy and interesting.
Prof Lindstrom is always willing to help all of his students to complete their papers with their best ability. He is an honest and excellent professor, and has an extensive knowledge for this course. Thank you, Sir! =)
Awesome Professor! Professor Lindstrom makes a hard subject seem so easy to understand. Along with providing constant and quick feedback, he is a very fair and upfront person. He's tough though when he needs to be, but very professional and respectful. Thank you Sir, I learn a lot in 8 short weeks. I think a raise is in order!!
Professor Lindstrom was extremely helpful and made the class much easier to understand and enjoy. While considerably more strict than others, he made sure to communicate exactly where improvement was needed and helped to foster growth. I believe I have learned more in these 8 weeks than I have in the past few semesters combined. Recommend!
Excellent teacher
My only regret with attending this course is that the 8 weeks was not long enough. I enjoyed learning from Prof. Lindstrom.
Prof Lindstrom took personal interest in students' success and development, evidenced by thoughtful, timely feedback on assignments, forums, and messages. Great command of the subject material, and made it relevant to real-world application. HIGHLY recommended!
One of the best professors and course I have had within AMU. Clear, concise directions and applicable projects. Great use of different delivery methods (i.e. PPT instead of just papers). Professor Lindstrom responded very quickly to my questions. His forum post remarks were helpful and encouraging. Great professor, all around.
Professor Lindstrom has a unique style of instruction that captures the course objectives each week. His approach is most effective and provides an insight into this challenging intelligence tradecraft like never before. I highly recommend!
Each week, Prof Lindstrom would provide feedback to initial posts to all students. If the student was missing information , Prof Lindstrom would ask probing questions to elicit additional information. Grading feedback was also very helpful in understanding the grade and providing both hit and miss information to ensure improvement if needed.
One of the best instructors at AMU. He has an incredible work load (I think he taught two classes) and yet found time to grade and comment that shows he actually read the material and offered individual and constructive commentary.
After two years of classes at AMUAPUS Professor Lindstrom was the best teacher thus far. He gives great feedback and grades assignments quickly.
Professor Lindstrom was great! He is very helpful and encouraging while providing positive feedback. Received grades for discussions and assignments quickly and he shares his knowledge and experience throughout the course. I highly recommend taking Prof. Lindstrom's courses, he does what he can to keep it interesting and fun!
I've been a student at AMU for almost 8 years and I have yet to encounter a professor like Steven Lindstrom. As I live a highly flexible lifestyle, communication with him is key and he will try his best to help. If you're expecting an easy A, this isn't the guy for you. If you're expecting a quality education, you've found the right person.
Great Professor
Dr. Lindstrom provides an adequate amount of assignments and readings. Enough for you to learn but not too much that you feel like you are drowning. Nice having a break from having to write papers for assignments and doing PPT projects instead. The criteria for one project was vague but immediately upon request he provided a better explanation.
Professor Lindstrom uniquely interacts with each student and provides feedback that stimulates cognitive thinking. I really enjoyed taking this class!
Teacher was extremely knowledgeable and provided clarity when needed. The reading information provided in this course was on topic and provided better insight into the week's topic. Course was not an overload but the assignments were manageable and well presented for clarity.
I had a great time in this class. It was informative and the responses to and from students showed a great amount of thought went into each answer.
One of the best Professors I have had at AMU! Excellent interaction during our weekly discussion post. Use course materials, as well as the use of other ancillary course materials during the course, greatly enhanced the overall learning experience and added to the overall learning experience.
INTL 422 was a great class. I have taken Lindstrom's classes before and I am taking his class again for a third time. Not an easy A but if you try you'll get an A.
I have taken his classes a few times and hes a fair professor. There is no reason you can't get a good grade, just do what is required and you should get an A or a B.
Great instructor. I will definitely take again. An A or B is reasonably easy as long as you do the work. The paper assignments in this class were more interesting than the usual "write 6-8 pages answering this question"
Very understanding as long as you give him a heads up.
Three years with AMU and I can say He is the BEST Professor. Extremely knowledgeable, supportive and caring. I enjoyed his class so much and learned massive information in the subject. Professors like him make college so much more meaningful and productive. I can not praise him enough..
The Human Intelligence course was amazing. Prof. Lindstrom is a great teacher that was accessible at any time and gave great feedback on assignments and forum posts. He was rather hands-off and didn't micro manage the students in the forums. I would fully recommend him to anyone and would love to take another class from him.
One of the best. Dr. Lindstrom kept us informed, replied to messages quickly, and showed a high level of caring for students. He requires that you apply yourself, but gives clear guidelines for grading and excellent feedback on papers (even color codes), and encourages further research. Highly recommended for those taking their education seriously.
Professor Lindstrom is one of the better instructors I've experienced. He gave thorough feedback on assignments and asked appropriate follow-up questions in the forums; unlike some that have a canned response. I would highly recommend his classes. It is easy to get an A, although he is not an easy professor; just follow the requirements.
Professor Lindstrom grades more rigidly, but provides great feedback on assignments that are submitted. He is also very easy to work with when it comes to deadlines and assistance due to extraneous circumstances that come up. I would take this class again with him.
Class consisted of weekly DB posts (250 words) and replies (2x 150 words). Also a progress assignment (6-page essay) and final project (3-5 page essay and powerpoint). With 100 SH completed, Prof. Lindstrom is easily one of my top 3 favorite professors I've ever taken. You can really tell he's engaged and actually involved. Highly Recommend!!
This Professor is one of the best I have had at AMU in almost 4 years of going there. Very inspirational give good feedbacks and involved in your success. If you have a chance to take from him I highly recommend
I ended up being operationally deployed for a little over half the class, and Professor Lindstrom was so easy to work with! He was such a lifesaver; he allowed me the extra month extension and I was able to get the work done! He is very personable and understanding, and very easy to reach through email. I 100% recommend anyone take his class!
Prof. Lindstrom provided valuable feedback and graded discussions and assignment quickly. Never had to wait too long for grades.
Prof. Lindstrom was timely with feedback and made it clear what was needed to accel in his class. I will take further classes from him if the opportunity arises.
Dr. Steven Lindstrom is by far one of my favorite professors at AMU. Takes the time to thoroughly read assignments and engages in the discussion forums in a way that makes you further understand the materials that you're learning about. Provides excellent feedback on papers and how to improve to become a much stronger academic writer.
