Comments:MIS 3305 - Information Systems - Pretty standard stuff from a new teacher. You can tell he’s definitely getting his feet under him and has trouble commanding a classroom. The material is incredibly boring to most students since MIS is a smaller major and the dry humor doesn’t always play well. He would benefit greatly from a no tech policy, as every class is spent lecturing from slides with very rare participative elements, so everyone spends the whole class on their phone/computer and are oblivious when he does want an answer to his question. Thankfully, the workload is very easy, as there is no homework at all and just chapter quizzes on Pearson that you can take twice and see your answers (so you can get 100%). The exams are not the worst even if you don’t pay attention, they are 50ish MC questions and are taken in-class on Lockdown. They just require you to hunker down and study a day or two before to learn the terms and go back to memorize old quiz questions. There is also a group project done and presented the last week or two of class, but is only worth 6% of your grade. 
Overall, an awkward but very knowledgeable and nice dude who you can do fine with if you try.

Comments:MIS 3305 - Smith is not a bad professor by any means, he's just horribly boring. This is his first semester teaching (Fall '25) and it really shows. He's still trying to figure out how to structure his course, and he didn't give out any test dates at the beginning of the year. Instead, he has opted to tell us a couple weeks in advance that there will be an exam coming up. This isn't a big issue for me personally, but several of my friends have been stressing about this. The exams themselves aren't horrible. They're online, in-person, and all objective, with 40-50 questions. His workload is almost nonexistent, with the only assignments being 25 question Pearson quizzes due at the end of each week. I honestly don't remember anything about them though, because I completed all of them within the first week of class. He also has a group project due at some point in the semester, but I still don't know what it's about or what the requirements are. Overall, I don't think he's a bad professor, and it looks like this is going to be a blowoff class, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend him to someone either.  - Grade In Class:B+
