He
tells jokes before he starts his classes! He's super chill. If you don't show
up to your regular class time, you can go to any of his other sections to
make it up. Hw is straightforward from the textbook. It's usually about what
he taught that day and it's always due the next week. Super nice and super
chill. Take him!!! |

This
guy is the real deal. For a person like me who isn't very computer savvy I
found this class to be awesome. Learned a lot about Excel and his assignments
are real easy. His book is one of the few books that I got my money's worth -
very instructive format. Thanks Mike. |

Very
easy. You can miss class if you understand the lecture using the textbook
(which is a very helpful book btw). I also learned a lot from this class and
I can definitely say that Excel doesn't seem so daunting after this class. |

I
attended 2 of the classes before taking the Challenge Exam but I would have gladly
attended the rest of the classes. This is one instructor who cares about his
students and really wants them to learn the material. He welcomes questions
and does not mind repeating examples. The book is really great, too! I am
keeping it for future reference. |

Wow
amazingly easy and super nice teacher, don’t treat him bad! He allows you to
correct any wrong work and this class is super easy. If you can’t do hw, ask
your neighbor. |

It’s
good to know that there are teachers out there like Splane these days.
Extremely nice and helpful! He wants you guys to ask questions even if just
need to clear up something. He cares a lot about his students and wants them
to succeed. Has lot of experience business field & knows what needs to be
taught and doesn't teach unnecessary things. |

Splane
is a great professor. He wants each and every student to succeed, so he tries
to make the homework easy. If you have any questions, he would be willing to
repeat the steps again AND he will reward you with candy! |

to take for bus 91L. His teaching is easy to understand and follow. His
required text book is cheap also, so you don't have to spend too much. |

He is
SOOOO nice and helpful! You have to go to class though, that's how you'll know
how to do the homework assignments. The final is easy if you do all of your
homework and understand it. He's really goofy and funny! I loved this class,
it was easy and you actually learned stuff that could be useful. |

too. |

Great class! I came in not knowing too much about Excel and PowerPoint but I have learned a lot in 5 weeks. He is very nice and really helpful. Accepts late hw. If you don’t get full credit for hw, you can redo for full points! I highly recommend this class! |

Great
teacher! If you don't know Excel a whole lot then go to the class meetings.
You learn a bit about Word and PowerPoint too, but the main focus is on Excel.
The final exam is based upon all your homework and in-class learning of
Excel. |

I
failed the challenge exam because I thought I knew everything there is to
know about Excel, PowerPoint, and Word, but there’s way more. It's not hard
though. Just go to class and do the short assignments. You'll really learn a
lot. Class is only 5 weeks long! |

The
class was easy and fun. The tools you learn in class can be used for other classes.
HW was easy and there was enough time to finish it and you even get a chance
to fix it. The Final wasn't difficult because it was open
book/notes/internet. I would recommend it to anyone. |

This
class *is not* a waste of time. He wants people to learn the material, not
just get a pass. I had to put together a Power Point one week after the end
of this class and my project ROCKED! I could have done it before, but it
wouldn't have had the right style and punch. Don't test out--just two hours a
week for 5 weeks, and you really LEARN. |

Yeah
what everyone else said. My statistics teacher
(Carlo Di Carlo) was amazed that I actually knew how to use Excel when we did
lab work. I think he liked the pretty colors. |

Very
nice guy and understanding of situations! Highly recommend just taking the
class and not testing out as you learn lots of stuff if you are a beginning to
semi-advanced Microsoft Office user. Do all of the assignments & you will
have no problem passing; Gives straight forward directions on assignments.
Helpful, clear & tries to make class fun. |

Prof. Splane
is such a nice person. He goes out of his way to help his students. If you
miss a class, he lets you come in to the other sections he teaches. Class is
only 6wks. pretty straightforward... I recommend taking BUS91L with
him! |

I
thought he taught the class very well. He taught us only what we really needed
to know in the future, wherever your field may be. It was all good
information to know. I would definitely recommend students to take him. Each
student will take something from his course. |

Great easy
teacher for any level. If you can't pass this class, then perhaps you need to
buy a computer. I personally am a pretty advanced computer user; I even
learned some useful points here, especially with Excel formulas. |

really liked this class. The professor made it easy to understand and he was

teaches other computer courses cuz I wouldn’t mind

Aye, this

in. VERY EASY class format, just do the assignments and show up in class once
in a while and you’ll pass the class with flying colors. |

This is
probably the easiest business class at SJSU! If you’ve got even a little
experience with computers, you’ll do fine. The class only lasts for a few
weeks, and the in-session assignments are simple. A breath of fresh air from
other business classes. |
