Top-notch professor! Didn't want to miss a single class - they were critical to learning the material, but also fun. Assignments were reasonable and relevant. Biggest challenge is access to the Adobe Creative Suite outside of class. Organized and helpful, this prof ensures that you are able to master a course that has varied and complex materials.

An engaging professor who is able to make the complex concepts of programming understandable. Pseudocode is frustrating because you can't test it as you could a real language, but you do learn the underlying logic. Be sure to ask him for help if you don't understand one area, because they build on each other. Highly recommended.

Great professor - I will take another class with him. He explained topics well. He takes time to answer each and every student's questions.

He is one of my favourite professors. He Makes sure everyone understands the material. Examples are always used to give ideas to students. One of the best professors I have had.

Very professional, always shows up on time; don't expect to leave his class early; he will always use all the time allotted. Overall, he's a great teacher; you will learn DreamWeaver and Photoshop pretty well from him, however, his lack of knowledge in Flash shows. You're better off learning it from the class' textbook.

I could not be happier with the way he teaches. He is very hands on when teaching the class and really explains the subject matter well. I reccommend him.

Professor Eichers makes this course easy to understand, especially for the students who don't know about computers and software. He lets us do a lot of hands on exercises, which helps. He is a great instructor.

Professor Eichers is fantastic. He explains material really well, provides meaningful and interesting assignments, and is responsive to questions. He does expect you to read the textbook. If you follow along in class and do the exercises in the textbook, you will be fine.

Great professor. Explains everything in a simple way, so you actually understand the programming logic. Do not skip classes, because this is where learning happens. Mr. Eichers office hours are very convenient, so if you feel, that u're falling behind, go and see him. He is very approchable. And will help u a lot!!! Highly recommend!!

An awesome professor! He explained things very well, and was always super patient whenever someone was having trouble. He's also willing to work with you if there's a schedule conflict. Plus, he gives fun brain-teasers to help you wake up after a break, and signs communications as "Your Fearless Leader." Highly recommend him.

Good professor but is very picky with grading. Exams aren't TOO hard but if you study you'll be fine. Homework is fairly easy but he always seems to catch something and never gives you a perfect score. Overall good guy, he'll make you work for the A though.

Best teacher ever!! Easy A. You can take the quizzes as many times as you want until you get a 100.

Highly recommend take his class! He is one of the best professors in NOVA. He explains material easy and very understandable. Never boring!

Very nice teacher. However, lots of work but he gives you enough time to complete. Very understanding and fair. You do need to read the book and study the study guides for the exam. It's not a hard class but you still need to do the work and pay attention in class.

Prof. Eichers is extraordinarily professional. Classes were well prepared, aligned with the syllabus and allowed time for questions. Based on this class, I would go out of my way to take other courses from Prof. Eichers. Absolutely the best professor I've encountered at NVCC!

He is well prepared and ready to teach. Professor Eichers is the most inspiring teacher I have ever had. I wish all teachers at NOVA would be same as him. He is a very good teacher.

Great teacher! This particular class was a complete cakewalk, and I got over a 100% without even trying, but I do have a love for computers. Eichers is a very interesting teacher with a passion for what he does, and I loved his class! Take him, you won't regret it!

Very helpful and very clear. Always willing to help you out. Show up, do the work, get an A.

As long as you listen to him in class and do the assignments by midnight the day they're due this class is super easy. He is more then willing to help you with anything you do not understand, and is a very nice guy.

Professor Eichers is a very nice teacher. I took his 6 week class over the summer and it was very easy. Exams might be a little tough but if you do your homework its an easy A!

Eichers is the best. I loved this class and looked forward to it every week. Prof Eichers has a great sense of humor and really knows the material he's teaching. He has been teaching for a while, so he really has his lesson plans down. He uses good examples and makes programming super fun. Take him! Don't get the textbook for ITP 100 though.

Professor has a great sense of humor and tried to make really basic material interesting. The instructor was super super awesome. Always there for me. Loved it.

Prof. Eichers is amazing! This is my second class I've taken with him. Assignments are super easy and relevant to what we are learning in class. The only thing is that his tests are hard, he can be a bit of a tough grader. He has a study guide but isn't very helpful. There is one extra credit assignment..20pts. Hes very helpful too! TAKE HIM! :)

Great teacher, great class. Learned a lot about the field. Would absolutely take again.

I spent about six weeks in a Summer class with prof Tim. His lecture is well prepared, and he does a good job to make the four-hour lecture light. Also, most of his assignments help to achieve what have been covered in class. However, the bad side is the tests. The tests are not smart. Overall, the course is good, and you would enjoy it.

Professor Eichers is an amazing teacher. He knows eminently well a subject matter, clearly explains material and focuses on the topics that are necessary and useful in daily life. I have never missed his class, read the book, and did my homework, hence I received an A. Take his class and you will acquire IT knowledge.

Prof Eichers is hands-down a great professor, he keeps his lectures interesting and his assignments are simple. Thanks to him, I'm now proficient in MS Office in just 4 months.

You have to be a really good programmer to get an A in this class. He was a nice guy but very harsh at grading.

Great teacher! Makes you think at a higher level instead of just making you regurgitate what he just lectured on. Very clear lecturer and classes are structured well.

Easy class if you do the assignments and classwork. Exams are the study guide and he does a review. Makes class interesting with stories, brain teasers, and jokes.

Prof Eichers is by far the best NOVA professor. I consider one of my dream professor to have in college. When you need help, he is always their for you. He has amazing sense of humor. He will always challenge you to be the best programmer you can be. He give you an example of real world problem that can be seen in your programming.

Best professor ever. Before this class, I knew NOTHING about computers. I am majoring in Nursing, but had to take this class as one of my requirements for Mason. The homework is basically a re-do of what we do during class. He is NOT a tough grader at all. Dont read comments from people that dont do their work and blame the professor. 10/10.

When you get into this field, you already have to expect that it is hard to learn these materials. The course is already hard but he makes it fun and interesting to learn.

Made my 3 hour lecture tolerable. He plays his part in being a friend and not a villain by keeping his classroom environment enjoyable.

I have taken MANY classes at NOVA and I have to say that Prof Eichers is a top tier professor. He is quite friendly and makes his class enjoyable. If you have trouble with any hw he will reply to your email super fast. If you have the opportunity take him!!!

Professor Eichers is by far of one of the best teachers I have ever had. He is very knowledge about programming and a very helpful, caring person. Class was always interesting. He offered office hours which were available by appointment, which is great for anyone with additional questions. I really hope I am able to take him again for ITP120.

Truly one of my favorite IT professors in NOVA. I took ITP120 with him, and I was intimidated about java, but Professor explains everything in a way that it makes so much sense and it looks very easy. Unlike other IT professors, he is not reading from PP, there's actual practice every single class. He cares about every student's success.

He's really nice and understand and the work isn't too bad. 3 tests, including the final which isn't cumulative and 1 paper and a group project. He grades pretty fairly and provides the rubrics before each assignment.. A couple of discussion boards but no peer responses, and they were all easy as well.

I knew nothing about python coming into this class, but this professor is so good, I was able to get a good grabe out of this class for something I did not really understand. He really taught me about Python and programming and he is an amazing professor. I highly recommend this guy.

He was a great prof, gave us lots of hands-on programming experience and was willing to help if we got stuck. There were labs and they gave extra credit opportunities. The project and exams are a big percentage of your grade but they are all based on what we learned in class. Exams do not require lockdown, but he allowed us to use a cheat sheet.

What I enjoyed most about this professor was his understanding that this is an introductory course. He went over everything step by step and made understanding the material super easy (as long as you payed attention). Labs were a bit challenging but all of them are stuff covered in class that week. Exams on lockdown but they are not too difficult.

Professor Eichers is one of the BEST IT professors in Nova. He is very helpful and is always willing to help if you ask for help. Labs are challenging but you can always ask him for help and use the coding examples that were done in class for help. He explains things step by step, and gives good feedback.

Best professor I've ever had. Attendance was mandatory, but every time I couldn't make it because of an emergency, he handled it well and always emailed me back with the content and information that I missed that lecture. He gives extra credits on labs, midterm, and final. He prepares you well for tests and the tests are just the labs/class content

He is a easygoing professor who is ready to help students with questions. He engages his students with fun in class practices like excel and web designing. It is important to be on time, especially when he's going over a project or exam.

I had him in the Spring. Honestly, super chill, just come to class and listen to his lectures. Labs were pretty hard during the second half of the semester, so use your resources and stay in touch with your classmates. Using AI will be your downfall, especially as you build your foundation in the beginning, so I beg you: PLEASE DON'T USE AI!
