Reviews of professor Christopher Nott

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Doesn't actually teach anything, yet assigns lots of reading assignments, essays every week, & a 25 page paper with very little guidance. You'll be teaching yourself CISSP, & if you don't answer exactly as he wants you'll get instant Fs. Easily, one of my very worst classes ever.

If you want a teacher that doesn't teach at all this is your guy! pulls all of the resources from 700 page documents and YouTube and if you pull the definition word for word from those sources, he will still consider it wrong and it will fall on your grade. He gives no second chances and grades rough. Do Not take this teacher!

He is my favorite professor. He gives great feedback on my work and you always know exactly what is expected or what he's looking for on assignments. He is always accessible via e-mail (I even e-mailed him in the middle of the night and he answered.) If you are majoring in a computer/cybersecurity-related field, you want him as a prof.

Second class I've had with Dr. Nott. This class uses an outside lab (UCertify) which kinda sucks, but thats more on the school.  This class was really well balanced between labs, discussions, and written assignments. I completely bombed the second assignment and he reached out to me to make sure I understood it and allowed me to turn in a revision.

Prof Nott was great. He has a very lenient late work policy, and allows work to be resubmitted for a higher grade if you get less than an A. Highly recommend, would take again.

Online labs are pretty informative. However, each chapter consists of A LOT of mini sections. Must complete labs in each section, and write a 3-part research network security proposal paper.

Not sure what class these other people took, but, this class is a breeze. If you didn't get an A you didn't try. Yes there are 3 good-size papers, but there are no deadlines, and you can submit all assignments/labs/tests/etc as many times as you want. He gives you exactly what you should include in every paper. Everything is templated. Easy A.

This course was tough, just because of the big paper in the second-to-last week of the course. Weekly assignments were super easy, you just have to do them. The instructor was cool, though. He jumped into discussions, and worked with me when I went on TDY on a training exercise for 3 weeks. You always know what you missed on papers, etc.

This class straight up sucks, but prof made it tolerable. There is a ton of reading in this class but that's set by the university, not the professor. He worked with me one-on-one for literally 3 days to help me understand what was needed for the final paper. It's huge and weighted heavy for the grade but he helped me nail it 100%
