Reviews of professor Shaun Usman

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
His "class" is reading off power points about the theory of the application of powershell and the possiboities of the extent of active directory. BUT WILL NEVER SHOW YOU. I basically begged him in multiple emails to SHOW us the programs in use, and how they work. Nope. He will never explain exactly how to anything, yet that's how he grades you.

As someone who is getting a B- I do not mind giving him a good rating. This professor WILL teach you what you need to know. I started his class knowing 0 about servers and PowerShell. After his class I am just amazed about how comfortable I am with this now. Talk to him! He will HELP all the way and is the NICEST professor I have ever had.

Shaun Usman is a really great instructor, in my opinion. His classes are challenging (especially the exams) but if you study the lecture material you will be ok. He really wants you to learn and encourages feedback. The lectures a little dry but very informative. He is a very smart professor and I feel that I've learned a lot in his courses.

Second time taking a class with Shaun Usman. IFT 380 is all on Configuration Manager. Make sure to watch the lecture videos and you should do fine in the class. Shaun was always there for questions and office hours, if needed. One of my favorite professors in the IFT program; he really focuses on teaching the material from a technical perspective.

This was a great class as far as what I've learned. The professor is also always available and he is always happy to help. Lots of group work , and assignments which don't take alot of time but the guidelines are pretty vague. the quizzes and exams are the semi tough ones since they dont reflect much of what we learn. grades very slow.

Prof. Usman's exams are challenging. The exams cover the material, however, cover the very intricate parts of the lectures. Exams are an open book and the internet; however, you will be wasting your time to search the internet. Study the lectures, instead. He provides extra credit opportunities - take them.

The majority of his lectures is just him reading off his PowerPoint slides. Normally, that wouldn't be a problem, but his slides & work are incredibly vague and lack critical information. I learn by watching other people and their examples, not by someone talking and looking things up online. If you're like me, Usman's class won't click for you.
