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.
Very helpful . Was worried when i looked over the syllabus , but with his step by step guidance everything was easy. He answers emails extremely fast so that was a huge plus and he never seemed to be aggravated by the 9 million questions i had to ask . He is a great professor!!!
I enjoyed ths class very much. The teacher was awesome.
I realy enjoyed the learning Materials Mr Feist selected for us to view. The course out line was understandable and the video he did to explain the specifics was great. The learning units and forums were easy to follow. He answered emails with great patience and clarity in a prompt manner. Mr.Feist made my first on line class a positive experience.
I really enjoyed the calss. Mr Feist made sure that you were albe to understand the material. He ws very helpful. If i had any questions he was avaliable and answered email promptly. I would recommend him to anyone.
Mr. Feist was a very helpful and informative teacher, and did a good job of being available,which was important as this was an online class I participated in. He made the material easy to follow and the assignments interesting. I would definitely recommend him and any class he is teaching.
I was skeptical and somewhat reluctant about the teaching method,however I am glad it was taught that way because I really learned a lot. It was easy to follow and retain information. His method was intuitive, concise and fun! I feel Thomas Feist is a superb instructor and his upcoming students will feel fortunate to be in his class.
This was the best class yet. It restored my interest in possibly taking computer class for a major. Professor T Feist made learning about the internet fun, exciting,and easy to understand. He took the time to explained anything I did not quite understand. He made himself available and responded very quidkly to all questions.
I really enjoyed Mr. Feist teaching style. Communication is very important with taking and online class, every time I sent him and email he responded back within 24 hours, when I had a problem with actually doing a project his help was like being in a face to face with him. I think Mr. Feist is an excellent online instructor.
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. I've worked over forty years, never thought I would be going back to school, Professor Tom gave me hope that again.
Great teacher. Available when I had questions. Learned alot in this class. Would recommend to other students.
Fantastic instructor, Very helpful, he responded to any questions in a timely manner. Extremely knowledgable of the material. The overall class was great and I would recommend Mr. Feist to others taking this class.
Great teacher. Very helpful. I would recommend him to anyone. I enjoyed the class and learned alot.
Great class! Prof. Feist really helped me understand business! As long as you do your work it's an fun class!
Even though this class was an overview I learned a whole lot in just eight weeks, loved his teaching style and appreciatde a quick response to every question.
Great Professor. Learned alot in this class. Would recommend to other students.
His YouTube lecture for each chapter were VERY Helpful! As long as you follow his simple instructions, you will succeed in the class. Didn't really use the textbook that much because the videos and online reading did it all for me. I took his eight week class and its still possible to get an A as long as you do that work. Highly recommend him!
Great professor and super nice!! The YouTube videos are SO helpful! By far my favorite teacher to have for an online class! I highly recommend him!
Great Semester with good instruction and communication. Other online professors can learn a thing from the way this course is presented.
Awesome class! Love the teaching style of the videos; it definitely made the class interesting and very easy to keep up with. Would highly recommend the instructor!
Great teacher!! Very hands on with teaching the basics on how to start and succeed in running a business. I feel i can succeed at my own home business now that i have took his course.
Very good teacher to work with, expectations are clearly defined and he is very forgiving on the grading.Would definitely take again
Great teacher who is always available and willing to help out his students. Very fair in grading.
Some questions on quizzes seem opinionated, but I have heard that business classes tends to be that way. Overall, a great class!
Good Teacher and very helpful
Very Helpful tried to get him for my computer class! Videos and quiz was great.
This was my first online class. I communicated with Mr Feist constantly and he always responded timely. Even though there was no personal interaction the class was very informative and relevant. I was exposed to numerous computer applications and websites that I would not normally gone. I would recommend this course to all regardless of your major.
I never thought I'd get through this class but Mr. Feist was a great help and so were the videos, just awesome. I learned so much and had fun with the web page I built!I would suggest him to anyone who has to take this class. Online was great especiall over the summer but I do believe I would have enjoyed it in a class setting also. My #1 pick!!
Hats off to a very good and very talented teacher. Thanks for sharing your knowledge to us your students.
I really enjoyed this class. I learned a lot of information that is used in everyday life,if you use the internet.
This class was very informative. The instructor was very knowledgeable and answered his email very quickly. I would definitely recommend him and take another class with him.
Class was challenging yet not too difficult . Instructor was very helpful and clear as to what he expected from us. Overall enjoyed the class.
great online class, full of information, and I learned much more than I did before
Absolutely a great teacher! He is really easy to reach, understanding, and responds quickly. I definitely would recommend taking this class online instead on in person.
Very helpful when I neeed it the most. Thank you for understanding us non internet users.
He is pretty easy to get a hold of and makes sure that he gets back to you when you ask him questions. I had no idea how much there was to learn about the internet. I am leaving this class a more savvy internet user.
Just be on time with work and do not be a slacker towards easy work!
Very helpful, did not know much about the Internet before his class, after class I could do a simple web page.
he's very easy to get and keep in contact with, he'e hard on you, but it's worth it in the end.
This course was a breeze. We didn't need the book at all. We used the internet to learn. We had a dicussion or two due every week. There was a 3 part project which was super easy because he tells you how to do it. He is very helpful. He is quick to respond to emails. If you aren't internet savvy this is the course to take. You won't regret it.
This class was very interesting. I recommend Mr. Feist highly. Very helpful and knowledgable. I love that he did not ask us to get a book because it is so true how things with the web change. AWESOME!!
His class is very easy, he is very understanding of everyones situations. His projects are easy and he responds to your email within a day or less, he is very clear in what he expects. I would reccomend him.
Very good class. Easy stuff and everythiing was broken down to a good understanding
This class was easy and very informative! You learn a lot and it's very helpful information. Professor Feist is very helpful in answering any questions you have and gets back to you promptly! I would highly recommend this class!
I learned so much in this class. The information was presented to the everyday internet user as well as the advanced internet user. I thoroughly enjoyed the online lectures, which helped tremendously with the Web Project. I would recommend this class this class and would definitely take other classes that Tom Feist teaches.
ITE 130 was a very challenging class. I had very little experience or interest in ITE. There is no need for a textbook because everything is on-line. You will be expected to work extremely hard for a small amount of points. It pays to communicate with the instructor when you need help. The hard work is worth it in the end!
Made class understandable, videos were outstanding.
90% of the time I can't get CAPTCHA's right, written or audio. What does that tell you. Initially, I was off-put by the instructor's statements of how busy he is. However, he was very available and responded quickly in every instance for me. The course content was excellent and streamlined for pertinence. I was pleasantly suprised by the class.
The class had alot of material, I did learn a few things. The html part was ok, The teacher walks you through that part. BUt I doubt I will remember how to do i, I would skip that part of the class if I was the teacher. I didnt think it was helpful. Mr Feist however, is extemely knowledgeable and very nice .
This class is a great class to take. Mr. Feist made and found some great videos that helped you understand each unit. The best part about the class was making your own html. I would recommend not buying a book because everything is online (I took the online class), so just wait until class start and ask.
I really hate classes with a lot of discussion board thoughts and not real hard time answers but it was not as bad as I thought it was going to be
I enjoyed Mr. Feist videos they were very helpful when I was confused. He was very clear in understanding anything you needed help in. I enjoyed his forums. He responses very quick to emails. His grading is very fair. I would reccomend him to anyone and would def. take another course of his. Best professor Ever!
Professor Feist was very clear and has provided helpful information regarding the keywords and meanings of things when searching the internet. I would recommend this professor to every student at TCC!
Great class and easy to get a hold of teacher. Mr. Feist was very understanding and went out of his way to ensure his students succeeded.
Great teacher, interesting class.
Really enjoyed this course. Professor is was very helpful. Would recommend him to other students!!
I really enjoyed this class. Was very useful and learned a lot of new things about the internet. Instructor was great and really helpful. Would highly recommend this course to everyone.
He is very knowledgable, helpful, and makes the class and assignments interesting and fun. The assignments are not difficult as long as you keep up with weekly assignments. It was great to be able to get all needed material from the web. Don't buy the book! I would count myself very lucky to be able to take another class of Prof. Fiest!
Really interesting class. I learned a lot. He is very knowledgable, easy to understand, and helpful. I would take another one of his classes without a second thought. Don't buy the book you won't need it, everything you need will be online. Thanks Professor, I learned a lot!
I enjoyed the class and learned a lot. I enjoyed the format of the class which utilized youtube videos to walk you through things rather then having to read a textbook and figure it out on my own basically. I highly recommend the class and Mr. Feist.
It was relatively easy, wasnt too happy prior to taken the course about the web project but actaully enjoyed it and learn something new.
This was a good class. I learned from it, and the teacher did not hesitate to reply to my e-mails, or pick up the phone.
I have never had an instructor use u-tube and wish they all did! The videos gave us the exact information needed without having to read hundreds of needless pages.I would take another class with Tom anytime! If you need this class, I strongly suggest signing up with Tom Feist..oh and he will take pic of your dog too!
He's nice. Doesn't like to use the test book which was ok so instead post videos on youtube.
Most interactive of all online classes I've taken, in that the lectures are recorded (youtube) which made it really convenient for reviewing the course material. Interesting (relative) approach to teaching the material; uses his personal business throughout the course to make relative points. Quick to respond to email if there are questions. A+
Mr. Fiest lecture videos were very helpful. His teaching method is very informative. I liked the way that he incorporated examles of his own business so that we could better understand the concept.This course was very interactive and I enjoyed it!
Very good teacher
Awesome class
He is very helpful with the students. Also have very interesting topics, to keep you on your toes.
He promptly answered questions and his use of youtube to teach was helpful especially with the project. I followed his step by step process and completely my project without any major complications. The weekly assignments prepared me for the one exam I had to take and found it optional for the final. Learned a lot and enjoyed class each week.
Good Professor
Mr. Feist is an excellent Instructor. I would recommend his class to my peers.
There were so much information that I learned from Professor Feist's on-line class. Professor Feist is en expert in his field. He explained the topics of the course very well via videos and very easy to understand. It was tough at first since I never took on-line class before, and now I'm glad I did. One of the Best Professors at TCC!
Awesome class with a wealth of information. A lot of the topics covered will help me with my career as a Multimedia Producer when I graduate. Thanks for an awesome summer semester.
This was a wonderful class to take. He could have done a bit better with communication but overall I would recommend this class to anyone
Best & Exceptional online computer Professor I've had at TCC this summer! Professor Feist is very thorough; he explained the topics covered in class well via videos. He's always available via e-mail or by phone at his office whenever I needed help with my assignments. I've learned so much about the Internet Services from him.
I wish I would have known that we didn't need the book. Class was good and interesting and fun!
Great Class! Great Instructor! knows his stuff and very crystal clear with his instructions. Love the video style of teaching. Will take his future classes and recommend his to my friends.
You never use or have to purchase the "required" textbook so don't waste your money on that if you are taking it online. The best way to learn in this course is watching videos, taking notes, and doing the work on time.
Great Instructor enjoyed if you emailed Mr Feist He would reply quickly and best of all his youtube videos.You never use or have to purchase the "required" textbook so don't waste your money on that if you are taking it online.

Professor Feist made the class fun and easy to follow!!
This was an outstanding online course. An awesome learning experience taught by a knowledgeable, organized, articulate professor who details everything in the syllabus so students know expectations on day one. The detail of the syllabusassignments allow online students to work independently without the need for assignment clarification. A+ prof
This class was a lot of work but Mr. Feist provided the necessary information to get through the course. He's a great teacher.
This was an excellent It's an easy A you just have to do your work and projects that are assigned to you and you'll surely pass.
Very knowledgeable in his subject matter. His video instructions are very easy to follow.
Excellent teacher as he provides the information you will need without the need of purchasing a textbook.
Always helpful if you need one on one help
Professor Feist is very helpful, all you have to do is ask.
I took this class online during the summer semester and got an A. It was challenging (probably would've liked in person class better) but Mr. Feist promptly answered emails and helped any way he could. Be prepared to do lots of discussion board posts and assignments plus a mid-term and final but, nothing was too difficult or overwhelming.
I took this course during the Fall semester. Professor Feist provided wonderful web lectures to help you pass the course. Because of this you do not need to buy the textbook. He answered emails immediately, and was there to assist in any problem you have had. I would take another course with him as the instructor.
I took this class online and did not need the book. This class started off a little overwhelming but ended with smooth sailing. I'm not saying that this is an easy class, its a class that requires you to think outside the box. Professor Feist mid-term and final was directly from the learning units and videos.
I took this class online in the Fall 2015. Professor Feist provides helpful online video lectures and links to open-source material, so I did not have to purchase a textbook (very appreciated!). He is very engaged in the coursework and he responds quickly to requests for help. I'd be happy to take another course from him in the future.
The class and Instructor was great. The web project I found was hard due to the difficulty with Kompozer and the FTP connection.
Feist is an amazing professor. In this course, you build an HTML website. Scary right? Not really. As long as you watch the material that he posts, you will do great. The videos are step by step directions on how to build the site. He also gives amazing information about many things related to the internet. Plus hes a pet photographer.
Feist is a great professor. I enjoyed this class and have learned alot.
Responds to e-mail very quickly. Understands legitimate technological issues and will make exceptions and/or great efforts to assist you. He makes the class material very easy to comprehend by posting the lectures in video form.
Really cares if you are learning and if you pass his class.
He is a wonderful teacher and is very thorough in his lessons. I loved the fact I didn't to use my textbook hardly at all. He is very responsive and I would definitely recommend this instructor.
To much writing!!!
He was actually one of the few teachers that I felt was teaching as if we were all college students. He expects us to work, gives great feedback, and makes it clear that he wants us to think and prepare well written discussions (it was an online class for me) and other assignments. I would highly recommend Thomas Feist and this class! He is great!
If you watch the videos and keep up with the discussion boards its an easy A.
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
I like his course and it was interesting.
Thomas Feist has an excellent class. The objectives and deadlines were very clear. He provided feedback on graded material and was timely in returning grades.
This class was interesting and informative. The course material was a mix of videos and reading. Mr. Feist gave great feedback and has an interesting course
This is my second time taking this class and I think I did better this time around. The homework was very explainable.
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!
An expert in his field and willing to help you and answer any questions you may have.
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.
Highly recommended with a good breadth of knowledge. Prep for the 2 Exams early.
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.
If you are up for a challenge, this is the perfect class for you. There is a lot of reading and many papers. If you are self-motivated and keep up with the homework assignments, you will do great. Also, Professor Feist provided excellent feedback on assignments and truly seems to care about the success of his students.
I really enjoyed this class, however it required long nights and a lot of typing. I did learn a lot about what it takes to be an entrepreneur and some key things to look at when going into a business. Overall a great class.
The content, though overwhelming at first, turned out to be pretty easy and fun to do. This is a class that requires attention and time other wise most things would get lost in translation. This teacher was extremely thorough in his explanations of the work and broke it down step by step with his tutorials. Definitely recommend taking his class!!
Tom feist is an great professor i would recommend him to any student looking the take ITE30.
Mr. Feist was an amazing professor. For someone who has goals and want the best, he is definitely the right professor. I will take any class he teaches.
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.
Great teacher. Course was very well organized. Gave great feedback and always available. I would not want to take this course with another professor. One of my favorite online classes I have taken.
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!
The best online class I have taken so far! The syllabus and course outline were very clear. Professor gave quick and excellent feedback! Would definitely recommend taking his course!
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!
Very straight forward. I took one of his condensed classes and it was tough but totally doable.
I took him for online, BUS 100 (8) week class. It was very informative and I believe it was very straight forward and organized. He emailed fast whenever I had a question. He graded in a timely fashion. The outline was a lifesaver! This 8 week class was the same as the 16 week class, so don't expect a decline in work because of the length.
I took this 16 week course in 8 weeks, there is a lot of reading, quizzes, and other assignments
Professor Feist always gave good feedback with constructive criticism. Clear expectations were given in the beginning of the class as well. I would definitely take another class of his!
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.
Clear and honest about what is ahead and what his expectations are. Tests are essay format, but instructions are clear and you are given the full week to complete them. Responds quickly to emails with questions or concerns. Provides feedback on assignments. Would absolutely take a class with this professor again!
in the beginning i was very nervous because professor Thomas seemed intimidating however after taking his class its as simple as reading and doing your work. do not expect to slack off in your discussions tho. i would definitely take another class with professor Thomas he is really amazing.
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.
At first, I was a little nervous and overwhelmed, because this class seemed like a lot of work. Professor Feist encouraged as much interaction as possible, even being an online class. He graded extremely fairly. The work wasn't easy, but it was interesting and it made me think outside the box. Amazing class. Highly recommend.
