Pros: Interesting Subject, Watch Movies In-Class, Easy Grader
Cons: Dry Lecturer, Lot of Work
Dr. Maurer teaches the Zombie Plauge FYOS. He is a very dry lecturer and the class is more based in epidemical medicine and how it applies to a zombie apocalypse rather than just zombies. He is a very easy grader, however you have something due virtually every class. Easy A if you do the work.

Pros: Maurer was in the professional world for a long time and is now working on his Ph. D. He really knows his information and is willing to help you grasp the tough information. I learned more from Maurer than just about any other professor I have ever had. He pushed his students to their limits and graded based on your efforts in the end.
Cons: He was a very tough professor. His homework was hard, and he graded harshly. The projects were all group, which was difficult as getting together with a group for 3 projects over a semester is tough.
I absolutely loved this professor and class. I am an MIS major, and this class tipped the scales for me. I worked my butt off for this A and would gladly do it again. Maurer made his class several times harder than any other data management class, and I am thankful for it. Such a rewarding class.

Pros: Super helpful and friendly. Genuinely cares about you and this class. Definition of a fair grader. Class was just fun to go to.
Cons: It's just a hard class by nature. Maurer's goals for the class are set high, but he'll work with you to get there.
Also, group projects are a huge part of the class. Pick your team members wisely.
Best teacher on campus and just an overall good guy. Be ready to work hard, both in groups and alone, but rest assured that you're in good hands.
P.S. - Seth Meyers' twin.

Pros: He does a lot of hands on exercises and trys to create lots of group discussion. The material is pretty easy and if you study what he says on the study guide you should be fine

Pros: Great teacher, definitely knows the subject well. Smaller class setting then the other MIST 2090 classes. Does a lot of class interaction exercises, which makes the class easy to sit through. Easy group project to help boost your grade.
Cons: Tests are hard, especially if you aren't technologically savy and don't fully understand IT. I am an A/B student and I have made C's on both tests so far.
