Very cool teacher. Class is once a week. Second day is reserved for optional lab to assist with hw. He tells you exactly what he expects.

This is my first rating because Professor Downing is Awesome! I mean the guy has his own site instead of using boring ol'blackboard. How cool is that? Material can get a bit tough if you're not tech savvy but go to lectures, do well on the quizes* & get in a good group. You should be fine. He is very helpful unless you're a "Pinhead". I got an A.

Dr. Downing is a great teacher! He only requires you go to class once a week, most of your work is online, and then you take quizzes based off of the online material. Fairly easy stuff, his lectures were always clear and helpful, and I would recommemnd him to anyone!

Dr Downing is a good professor. He makes his lectures interesting. He give real life examples. You must go to class to get participation scores because he uses the clicker. He drops 1 quiz and 10% clicker questions. A lot of opportunity for extra credit points. Get in a good group for the VC Group oroject. ou will get at least a B.

Professor Downing is a great teacher. His lectures are mandatory and he uses real examples to incorporate what he is teaching. Pay attention to his powerpoints and clicker questions and the class should be simple.

Go to class answer the clicker questions. Go over the quizzes that ARE ONLINE a couple days before the quiz and it will be the easiest class you'll take.

Downing was a very interesting professor. He was very energetic and went off on random tangents a few times each class, but it still made for an entertaining course. I received an A by practicing the old quizzes online, reviewing the power points and clicker questions and somewhat reading the book. The information is boring, but Downing is not!

Dr. Downing is a terrific professor. He's really energetic ("So you just type this here and POW!! You got a webpage!"). Keep up with the homework and you'll do fine. The program shows you what to do step by step. I'd recommend this class to anyone, business major or not.

He got his own web page! Dude is legit. basically an online class. only reason to go to class is for clicker question. be sure to have the most recent versions of Microsoft Excel & Access in your computer or the assignments will be a drag.

Great teacher. Switched majors to OMIS after taking his class. Funniest teacher at NIU definitely but you will learn so much.

Omis 259 is very hard. The class number was very large so I never got the chance to actually meet him. You will take many quizzes and all test are done on a specific website. Truthfully this class was hard and gave me several headaches. Attendance is mandatory if you want to pass the quizzes.

Downing is a great teacher he is enthusiastic about OMIS!!! Made this class interesting to learn about! The quizzes can be challenging if you dont read the book, slides, and don't show up to class.

Good guy, he knows his stuff. Learned a lot from his class. Knowledgeable and not boring = making students learn better and want to go to class.
