Reviews of professor Charles Bennett

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Pros: You learn in an unstressful and fun environment because he is personable, has charisma, and is well respected.  He's an "easy A" only if you come to class, participate, and do the assignments. Cons:  If you don't have the right computer hardware specifications then you're going to have a bad time completing the 2 lab projects.

If you are looking for an easy A just show up to class and do the labs, but you won't learn anything. Yes, he is very approachable and is funny, but he spends the whole class time talking about other things and eating candy. He came up with the labs during class time which only led to last minute guidelines for the lab. He is very disorganized.

Attendance isn't mandatory, but will randomly hand out small assignments/extra credit. Finishing all the assignments, even late, guarantees a pass. Class time is spent 80% talking about random personal stories or business/technology news & 20% teaching, but when he does teach it's amazing.

Overall, his structure is the same as other classes, but he rarely teaches CIS 2670. Subnetting returns for the first-half semester & competition. Azure is a new software where group projects occur for the first time. Since it did not go out as planned due to resource costs, he has excused those requirements. Thank you Chuck for our hopes!

The class is very straight forward.  You'd have to really go out of your way to do bad in this class.  Lectures usually go on tangents, but lead to real life experiences that give you some context on what you need to work on.  His advice also made me realize how not awesome I was in terms of IT skills.  This pushed me to get some certifications.

Very approachable professor that wants his students to succeed. Clear grading with quizzes, two exams, and two projects. Learned more than expected from both of the lab projects. Just make sure to not interfere the labs if you decide to take 4670 and 4710 along with 3470.
