Nice professor. assignments are very straight forward, what assignment & when it's due - it's all on the syllabus. btw he doesn't take attendance. so just turn in your assignments (which are not hard at all) and study for quizzes and exams. you'll ace the class. they're all multiple choice questions, except the case studies.

Though the class is more or less IT-212, it's not hard to get above a B in this class. HW/Quizzes/Midterm/Final ALL Multiple Choice & Qs often repeated word for word. Lectures aren't new but real easy overall! Take him.

Boring class but easy. Always tries to finish class early and gives out easy everything. Quiz is usually a repeat of the homework assignments. Everything is multiple choice except for the case studies which is super easy and can be done in less than 30 minutes.

I knew very little about IT, but he explained everything so clearly. Read the textbook and his powerpoints, and you will learn evering you need to know to get a good grade. Honest, polite, and helpful, and no trick questions. I highly recommend his course.

Super nice guy, makes it very easy for the students. Will give you as much time as it takes for you to understand something. There are 10 homeworks, 5 news report, 4 quizzes, a midterm and final. All pretty easy and questions repeat. Class is boring, but its not mandatory. He makes jokes sometimes. Lots of telecommunications info and hardware.

He is pretty boring, but made the class easy. Cancelled the class a bunch of times and made online assignments for us. Understands traffic and issues preventing you getting to class. Material isn't bad, 10 hws, 4 or so "papers", quizzes, and tests. Nothing a college student can't handle especially because he repeats questions.

The class was easy and he was helpful. Recommended.

Great guy. Very helpful. Uses the same old, cheap book. Only need it for open book online tests. Definitely recommend his class.

Knows his stuff. Clear on what's going to be on the exams & quizzes. People in my class that werent happy with him were the ones that didnt try or were looking for an easy grade. He'll help u if u ask for his help. Most of the time my class ended really early. Get out of it what u put in. I recommend him

He's a good professor, but the mid term & final were extremely difficult. Does the best he can w/ the course material, kind of rushes lectures but tells you what you need to know & does a good job w/ study guide review. Tells you what essay to focus on for exams. DO WELL ON THE LABS you can fail the exams & still pass if you do well on the labs

The Professor did rush through the class. He read off the powerpoints so there really wasn't a point to go to class. However, when he covers the material for the quizzes, midterm, and final you want to be there. He lets the class know what is on the tests.

The class is easy. You have IT news reports and weekly homework quizzes on blackboard that are open books, notes, and the internet. The textbook will help with the homework quizzes. The professor's slides are based on the textbook. Attendance to class is not required. He tells you the exact topics on the quizzes and tests.

He is the man to take for IT341. He makes the materiel easy for you and if you can do the labs on your own you can leave after the lecture. One advice, make sure you do all the assignments and you would pass with a grade higher then B.

Very helpful if you have questions. Lectures were straightforward, sometimes he throws in little stories to make it fun. I'm pretty sure the Syllabus for IT 101 is on the AIT website, but assignments were totally manageable, and if you do them, you're golden. Tells you quizexam topics beforehand, so definitely go on those days. Good class.

I had Mr. Fennell for both 341 and 101. He is excellent at explaining the mathematical concepts, which helps a lot. He also really cares about his students; he went around to meet everyone on the first day. My advice to you, the students signing up for 341, is to really study the essay questions for the exams, and do well on those labs.

He is very straight forward, explains in detail, no trick questions in quizzes and exams, great study guides.

Great professor. He is clear and very helpful.

I don't think I learned anything from this class. Packet Tracker labs (used to teach routing) were simple "follow-the-step" exercises from a book. Most of the midtermfinal questions come directly from the homework (which aren't critical thinking questions) or from the reviews in the class prior to the test. Nice professor, awful content.

He is a good professor, however, the class itself is awful. The material is all over the place and the ppt slides are directly from wikipedia. Fennell has no control over this since it is a new class and the course coordinator is feeding him all the material in the class. Having said that he is helpful and does his best to make sure you understand

When I first started taking his class I was sure I was going to fail, but I can honestly say he is the reason I passed this class.

He really cares about his students, and he truly wants everybody to do well in the class. He also responds emails very quick if you have any questions, make sure you do all the labs and study the power points for the exams, they are multiple choice. I would definitely recommend his class, very stress free, you will be very lucky to have him!

Mr. Fennell is the best professor for IT 105. He lets you know exactly what you need to know for exams. He gives 5% extra credit assignment which is beneficial. Homework and IT news report every week. Lectures are long, and make sure to study the POWER POINTS for the exam. I am planning to take IT 341 with him. Best at teaching the material.

Professor Fennell is a solid professor for IT105. You'll have weekly assignments, news reports due every other week, and an opportunity for extra credit. You'll have to work to get a good grade, but it will be worth your time to take him. He was patient and respectful towards his students and helped us prepare for each exam respectively.

Professor Fennell is genuine and respectful to all students. He's very lenient with grading. He cares a lot about helping his students get the highest grade possible before the final because the final exam makes up 35% of the overall class grade. Definitely recommend him for a breezy time in IT 105.

Great teacher, he's nothing short of amazing and really cares for the students. It may be hard to get a hold of him sometimes. The lectures are long, but if you show up to class he really emphasizes on important topics, aka what you will be tested upon. He covers a lot of information, but if you show up to class the exams are breezy. AWESOME CLASS!

Exams are easy!

Mr. Fennell is a great professor! He really does look out for his students and is very lenient with grading and extending assignment due dates. On the other hand, a lot of the lectures and assignment he has to teach are designed by the course coordinator who did a terrible job creating everything (very outdated and poorly prepared).

He is a great professor! The modules can be annoying but make sure to submit them on time!

This class is a very easy class if you just show up and pay attention. It was a 3 hour lecture, and his voice was monotone. He does give out extra credit DO IT!! It boosted my grade 5 percent. The midterm was very easy but the final REVIEW HIS PP'S NOT JUST HIS STUDY GUIDE. There is a total of 9 homework assignments. EASY A!!

This class was an easy A this semester! Just study the power point slides and study guide for midterm and final, as well as complete all homework assignments and you should get an A no problem! He offers extra credit which is helpful as well! Although i felt our textbook (ebook) really wasn't necessary to purchase!

The class was so easy. There are homework assignments but the answers are from the powerpoints. No need to attend the class as long as you do the homework and he offers extra credit. Also, you don't need the book so don't waste the money like I did.

Best professor for IT 105, hands down. He genuinely cares about his students and wants them pass. This class is super easy. Alwz attend lecture. For midterm, study the study guide and you will get A. For the final, study the study guide as well PPT SLIDES. Do the extra credit & hw. For the group projects, just write smthg & u will get full points.

This class was super easy. He taught the material very well. Most days we either got out early or we didnt have class at all. But if there is class GO! Especially when it comes time to do the group project (since you might need to know who you're grouped with). He also basically tells you EVERYTHING that is going to be on the midterm and final!

He's got a really deep voice which can make it difficult to stay awake at times. He really is willing to work with you to explain concepts. IT 105 is just a bit of a more math heavy course than expected tbh.

IT 105 was a breeze with him. He is really funny and caring. I genuinely enjoyed being in his class. The exams are based on the study guide and super easy. Project does boost your grade and you also get extra credit opportunity of 5% at the end.

He is easy if you do all of the homework assignments and work on the group project well, his tests, you gotta study to pass!

Very chill teacher and the lecture was 3 hours but it was online so you didn't have to go. You could check back on it as well and he would go over the lecture and homework. The final and midterm were basically the study guides and the final is only the information after the midterm.

There are usually assignments every week, which take 1-2 hours to complete. The first few weeks are tough due to learning binary mathematics. He grades fairly easy on the group project, just a hassle to get participation. The midterm was word for word from the study guide and the final was from the study guide + power points. Do the work and pass.

The course is an easy A. Weekly/Bi-weekly homework assignments, midterm, final, and a group project. All the work for this course is easy and Prof. Fennell does a decent job explaining the concept and assignments.

Class was a breeze, if you know anything about computers or IT basics it should be easy for you. Just do the homeworks, it's verbatim from the slides, and the projects/exams are pretty effortless too. Solid class from a solid guy.

I showed up to lecture and took notes but at some point I stopped because he uploads everything online. Every week he has a homework assignment but its just 10 or so questions literally directly from the lecture/ppt slides. The textbook is helpful but you don't need it to complete the homework. He also has simple extra credit opportunities

I took him in the spring semester he was a good professor. I would take him again, he definitely cares about his students learning.

Hands down one of the best professors I've ever had! He teaches the material great and doesn't just read off powerpoint slides. There are 2 Exams and 1 group project which were all very easy. The mid-term was straight from the study guide. If your going to take this course 100% recommend Prof.Fennell!

BEST PROF! One of the best Prof. You can tell he really cares about what he is teaching AND he connects the lecture to real life examples. Sometimes the class can get boring snice it's 3 hours long, but I def recommend taking him in person. He always gives tips and hints on homework's, and exams. I promise if you take him. YOU WILL PASS THE CLASS!!

Professor Fennell made the class very simple and clear. The assignments don't take up much time and the group project is very easy since it is split into 4 different checkpoints. You are given a study guide for both the midterm and final exams, so as long as you study that and review the presentation notes, you should get a good grade!

Great professor overall, the course is not that challenging, there are a few concepts that might be hard to comprehend at first, but once you get going, you shouldn't have too much trouble. If you have the opportunity to take him, he's a great choice.

easy class if you understand the first modules, assignements every week. Would recommend

Professor Fennell is a great professor! You can tell he's passionate about what he's teaching and that he truly cares about his students. The slides are long but they're helpful for the assignments, which tend to be weekly, but honestly they're not bad and he gives a week to do them which is enough time. Also, DO THE EXTRA CREDIT! It's pretty easy!

ok class, most of his stuff is online, lectures are long and sometimes boring. mid term and final were decently difficult, had some questions from study guide, but otherwise class is just worksheets and couple quizzes

The online course format has demonstrated a high level of ease and manageability. I have a deep appreciation for this class, primarily due to the simplified structure of its assignments and assessments. Any contrary viewpoints are likely the result of inattentiveness rather than deficiencies in the instructor's approach.

The class is really easy as long as you use your head and pay attention.

Overall this professor's class was okay. The only two exams he has are a midterm and final which is half your overall grade. He curved the midterm due to poor performance by everyone. One assignment and discussion a week, easy enough. One group project and three quizzes. He responded to emails fairly quickly as well.

I will admit that the lectures are long and can be pretty boring. However, they make up for that by giving you literally everything you need to succeed in the course. They provided all of the specific topics that we were going to be tested on. As long as you keep up with your work and put in even just a little effort you should be fine in his class
