One of the most boring classes I've ever had, but the material itself is pretty boring so can't expect much there. A little hard to understand at times, but everything is straight-forward so not much of a problem. Studying isn't hard, just time-consuming, if you want an A, be prepared to study, especially if you don't have much prior comp exp.

Extremely unprofessional and difficult to communicate with. He treats students like children that are trying to get one over on him. Does not give a schedule and stated he didn't feel he needed to give students advance schedule. His assignments are non stop and you hardly have time to work on other classes. I'm a hard worker. DO NOT TAKE HIS COURSE

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! You will be extremely overwhelmed with work, and everything is hard. The professor does not realize that most of us hold jobs and take other classes. Literally the worst class I have taken in 3 years.

This professor is terrible! Grade paper harshly and took of points for "not following instructions", presented guidelines to him and he simply said "oh, I assumed a college student knew that was a requirement". Really???? He will not work with you, will flood you with work and do his best to take points away for any little reason. AVOID HIM!

Willing to help but his class is overwhelming because it consists of quizzes due each week, 3 exams with as many as 6 chapters each, a team project and 4 assignments, all very harshly graded. I wouldn't take him unless you have a lot if time and likes computer science. Most tests were curved, he is very organized

I was so scared to take this professor after reading all of the comments on here. I really do not understand people. You have to earn your grade...it won't be given to you. I had no problem. I studied and did as he asked. Had I worked a tad bit harder I could've had an A. It is a lot of work but nothing to complain about honestly. People are lazy

Bose is not approachable and rude. The class is depressing as he RARELY gives a grade higher than low B. Only 1 assignment is done individually. 3 writing assignments with a team that he selects. He grades HARSHLY. HE does not give all requirements. If your team writes poorly expect failing grades. PLEASE TAKE A DIFFERENT PROFESSOR!

He is a great professor. His tests are the same with all the quizzes. There are at least 2 online quizzes due every weekend but it super easy with 10 MC questions. He gave us a lot of take home assignments but you will learn a lot after all. People who complained and dropped his class are lazy to study. I wish I could take him again.

Mr. Bose is actually not a bad teacher. His lectures are straight forward, but his lectures are limited. MAKE SURE You read each chapters key terms prior to the tests. If you take initiative and read the chapter before class, youll be disappointed because his lectures are limited. i took him hybrid so maybe its different otherwise. Good course.

I took MIS as a summer class and it was a lot of work. 4 assignments, 1 team assignment. The team assignment is the easiest of them all, while the individual assignments take about 6-7 hours to complete. There are 4-6 quizzes to complete every week and attendance is mandatory because of in class quizzes. Prof is very nice and respectful of effort.

"I assign your groups because employers will assign group members to your projects." My company is a bit more selective than UHD admissions. If I'm going to be graded by someone else's work, let me pick that someone else. Grading is subjective, but "I don't like the way this is formatted" is not legitimate feedback when no format is specified.

If you love doing a 5-page paper at the same time as the exam day, then take him. I'm not sure whether it's because I took him in the summer, but It was very overwhelming. Each week, we have an essay due with so many instructions, length of assignments are 4-7 pages and exams are OKAY if you study well. I wouldn't recommend as a top choice.

He is the lead professor but had 3 other assistant professor teach the Summer 6 wk course. He did not introduce himself to any of the classes until the week before final.

Took this class during the summer and the work was excessive. At least 4 quizzes each week plus group assignments each week as well as group presentations. Did not learn anything about MIS unfortunately. At times it was difficult to gain knowledge of the course due to all of these assignments. Be cautious when signing up for this professor.

Probably the hardest MIS class I have taken so far. His online class is not geared properly for Online students. Be prepared to teach your self as his assignment are vague in most cases. He nit picks everything and grades like he gave you everything needed to do the assignment properly. I don't want an easy class, but I also want to succeed.

Professor Bose is a true University professor. The course material is not hard, he just challenges you to put forth your best efforts in his class. Students need to understand that part of a University education is meant to train your work ethic for the future. If Dr. Bose was an employer, would you do easy work to impress him?

Passionate about the subject. Be as thorough as possible in homework and follow directions exactly, he is a tough grader who expects your best effort. Weekly(-ish) online quizzes, just read the book and don't forget. Pretty generous in curving exams, but still need to study well. Drops lowest homework grade and two lowest quiz grades.

The worst professor. It's taught by Dr. Bui, not Dr. Bose. The amount of quizzes & cases is ridiculous for a 6 wk course, but that isn't the worst part. The midterm & the finals are about memorization. No notes, no book, & you have to practically remember every word in the text for the tests. There is a graded group presentation that isn't bad.

The workload is very heavy with little reward. Everything is open book except mid term and final exams. The exams are really a test on your ability to memorize rather than learning the subject matter. If you are a good test taker you will do good, otherwise you may struggle since the exams are lockdown and all about what you memorize.

One of the worse professors on the campus. His teaching style and structure is disappointing. Workload is unmanageable and unrealistic.

Please stay away from this professor. He uses ProctorU instead of Lockdown Browser, which costs you $50 for two exams. 4-6 Quizzes + Case Study Quizzes a week. Tough grading on the group assignment (Make sure you follow the rubric to a T). Overall lack of empathy to students. Lectures don't help for any exams. Try to take a different professor.

AVOID AT ALL COST, taking him for a synchronous online class and he makes the exams due DURING the class time we would attend and of course on lockdown browser. He has quizzes due at the end of each class and you have to physically scan the work you did (No typing it out) to turn it in and the time limit doesn't help. Take someone else if you can.
