In Introduction to the Internet, we did two exercises from the book every week with maybe some extra small assignments. You work at your own pace and you can leave whenever you want. You just have to show up for attendance. Teacher didn't really teach, but he could answer any question you had. The book provides the simple lectures.

Prof Martin is Lazy. You are guaranteed to receive no education from him at all. He does not like to prepare for class and does not see the need to keep up to date with anyting in the computer field.

I took this class online. Very straight forward. You need the correct mindtap access code and the Text book is online. You need to be careful completing the assignments. one mistake will affect your grade (the program grades it). Any time i needed help, Prof. Martin responded quickly. Some people missed assignments and he let them make it up.

It's a class where you have 8 assignments in a short period of time (1 week). All assignments are online, make sure to study what the training is to do the projects and other assignments. If you can handle a lot of assignments in a short period of time take this if not, I don't recommend you to do so.

Professor Martin loves to hear himself talk. If you can I would strongly advise taking the all online version of the class. He turns something that should take 5 minutes into a 50 minute lecture. If you don't mind hearing the same statement repeated 20 times in a class, take it. If you need help he is available, as well as a lot of extra credit.

Mr. Martin is a great and very kind professor! I took his online class . Although there was a quite bit of work, it was fairly easy. Most of his work was on Mindtap (Needs to be purchased) which consisted of 4 assignments + discussion due weekly (easy). He gives you a chance to submit late too. He was very helpful with grading. I highly recommend!
