Reviews of professor Dave Schippers

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Ton's of reading. Books are awesome. Professor is very accomodating and knowledgeable. He is best teacher at Walsh, trust me. Very caring and gives great feedback and will work after hours with you, if needed. Students that say he is not helpful are absolutely not even trying. Would take him for all my classes if given the opportunity.

Dave Schippers is a great teacher and his cyber security classes are the most fun classes I have ever taken. He is very knowledgeable and is redeveloping the IT programs; so that students will have top notch skills that employers are seeking. He is very laid back and makes learning a fun and hands on experience.

The professor doesn't help students. He doesn't care about the students in his class. He takes away points from assignments without a reason. Avoid taking this professor

Professor Schippers is an awesome guy. I really enjoyed being in his classes and he makes learning fun. I actually took away quite a bit of information and I wouldn't mind being in his classes again. Would highly recommend.

This is really a Arduino Programming Class. There is more emphasis on programming than the actual automotive cyber security. You will definitely spend a ton on time on the programming assignments that are on top of the essay tests. Which there were actually lectures and more demonstrations than having to figure it out on your own.

Terrible instructor. Has no communication skills and doesn't care about students. He also works at Walsh so any concerns with the class/teaching "disappear." I did good in the class but would never want to be with this professor again.

Amazing professor who brings real world IT scenarios to his classes, which makes IT fun and more interesting. He is caring and will work with you no matter what. It is recommended to not only partake in his assignments, but if you go the extra mile you'll be ahead of the class. Thank you Dave for everything you do.

I liked Dave even before I took his class. He has great stories to tell from his background as a PI and forensic analyst. The labs in his class makes learning the ethical hacking concepts clear to learn - I've never been overwhelmed. His greatest ability is his public speaking skills, he's always interesting to listen to. Would suggest 422 with him

Even though he started the course but handed it over to another prof. IT 422 is very dry, not helpful, and a ton of stuff that isn't worth the time of the course. This course is basically the relation between IT 417 and IT 419 for cybersecurity and nothing new. Unorganized and so many loop holes. Quizzes don't make sense because never discussed.
