Mr. Tom Feist is one of the best professors I ever had. He makes sure that everyone understands his material. He is never late on anything. He gives us a chance to get our work done without rushing. Mr. Feist also does class participation which is so fun. The U tube presentations were awesome. I enjoyed being in is class. I'd refer anyone to him.

Professor Feist is a excellent teacher. I attend class through the virtual world, Blackboard. He answered every email concerning my homework. He inspired me to study because I didn't know as much about the internet as I thought.

Mr. Feist is a great online instructor. He provides great video tutorials as part of your learning, and they are very informative. He responds to your e-mails in a timely manner. When it comes to developing your webpage, he walks you through the process via video. He posts grades in a timely manner and provides great feedback. Great instructor!!

As with any class, you get out what you put into it. Mr. Feist was very quick to answer any questions I had via email in this online class. No textbook costs because it was open source, but that seems to mean less control over the course content. Expectations were clear - lots of reading and quizzes, but also immediate feedback/grades for most.

Awesome professor. First online class I've taken the experience was a great one because of him. The class comes with a lot of reading and, like any online class, you have to be dedicated to your work, but as long as you make sure you stay on top of assignments it should be an easy pass. However, if you don't like writing papers, not recommended.

Mr. Feist will make you earn your grade! You will be required to put in honest hard work in his class. He is very upfront about what he expects from you from day one. He is providing you an education, not an easy A where you learn nothing. He gives you insightful assignments that make you think outside the box and apply it to a real life scenario

Even though he had several classes, he did well in responding to emails in a timely fashion. He was very specific in his feedback and was clear whenever points were deducted. If you do the reading, stay current with your assignments, and concentrate, this class will be NO problem. I will recommend this professor. Thanks, Professor Feist!

To me, this was just too much work for what should be a simple BUS 100 class. There was so much reading and sooo many discussion boards and papers that it was annoying. Couldn't take this teacher again knowing how he operates. Also, the first half of the semester, he didn't grade any of our written assignments until spring break. Didn't like that

Professor Feist is an amazing human being and an outstanding teacher. He cares about his students and their academic performance. He wouldn't let me give up! He encouraged me and gave me the pep lectures my dad would have given me. He gave me hope! I am grateful for his patience, encouragement, time, and care. He's a cool professor! Thank you, Tom.

This is not an easy course. Expect to read a lot and take a lot of quizzes. Feist seems like a genuine nice guy. I received feedback always. In the beginning I wanted to drop his class because of his syllabus- he seemed tough. Plus, I doubted myself a lot. I would definitely recommend him & I would take his class again but in person. He cares.

I did not think I was going to like Professor Feist in the beginning. He's is very honest about his expectations and if you aren't willing to meet those then you won't do well. My particular class was an 8 week online class and it's imperative that you budget your time. I would absolutely take Feist again, perhaps in a classroom setting.

Thomas Fiest is an excellent professor, I took his online class and enjoyed it thoroughly. There is no textbook to purchase, but there is a free textbook provided online through his class. Although, Professor Fiest gives great feedback and carefully grades each assignment, there are quite a few papers that will be required in this class.

I had a death in my family after the last drop date and midway through the semester. I requested to be withdrawn from the course and instead Prof. Feist offered me an extension into the summer semester. This enabled me to not have a "W" show on my record and I did not lose the money and time I had already spent on this course. I am very grateful.

This teacher was great! He was always quick with responses. Unfortunately , you do the same amount of work as a regular 16 week class. But, he was really understanding with me when I completely looked over an assignment, he allowed me to do the assignment with no penalty. Defiantly a great teacher. Will take him again!

Great online course! He follows the course outline to a T. You may work ahead. The text book is electronic which was a plus. Time management is essential for this course as it requires heavy reading. If you are organized, engaged, and take great notes, an A is possible. You REALLY have to understand the course material in order to pass tests.

I took this class as an 8 week course. My average week consists of the online textbook (which is VERY interactive), quizzes and blogs. As an 8 week we do about 3 units a week but I can usually get all 3 units done in about 2 hours. There are pretests in the textbook that tell you EXACTLY what you need to study to pass the quiz. Great teacher!

Professor Feist is an awesome teacher. I had him for a 16 week ITE 130 class as well as an 8 week BUS 100 class. It was my 1st time EVER taking an 8 week class AND online classes. He was very straight forward with what was expected. He also responds to emails quickly. There are videos to help with lessons also. As long as you try you will pass.

I took the online BUS 100, 8-week course with Prof. Feist and thought that the class was easy. The class used the online Waymaker course and it was awesome and very intuitive. As a student with ADD, it was like Waymaker was a program geared toward students with difficulties. I wouldn't hesitate to take a course with him again. Great class!

I took the eight weeks class with Mr. Feist. This class is clear-cut. As he says, you blink an eye; you miss weeks worth of homework. He grades homework fast and gives you honest feedback to improve. He is excellent, and I had issues with my final exam, all I had to do was email him ahead of time, and he got back to me in a few hours. Great Prof!

Bottom line, do your work-read the work and you will pass. Put effort into the discussion board posts and the few written assignments and he will notice. I got more than full points on every written assignment because I put effort and content into what was asked. He makes it clear of his expectations. Expect a quiz for every chapter.

I took the 8 week online course and it was one of the best classes I have ever taken. The class is very easy if you submit good quality work on time. Since it was an 8 week course, we did have a lot of things due at the end of each week but all of it was doable. Also, he actually reads everything you submit and gives feedback which is great.
