Most other MIS professors are easier, but if you want to learn something take him. He's enjoyable enough and really knows his stuff.MISM2301 2026-05-06 18:30:47 +0000 UTC
Subpar professor that teaches with enthusiasm, however is overly critical of work. Wastes 20 minutes every class engaging students and covering the previous classes material. The rest of class is spent covering slideshows that are visually incredibly difficult to understand.MIS2301 2024-12-21 07:21:06 +0000 UTC
Person below me is the teacher's pet, go figure. Dias holds a high standard for his students and none for himself He waited until the last month to grade everything and is extremely condescending and unhelpful with all of his feedback. I can confidently say I didn't learn a thing in his class and was a total waste of time. Never again.MGMT3530 2021-04-13 20:26:39 +0000 UTC
Makes boring material exciting and interesting, I enjoyed his class and found him to be a fair and clear grader.MGSC6204 2016-11-02 20:35:07 +0000 UTC
Dias is an amazing teacher and one of the best I've had at NU. Im not a "tech" person and he was able to actually get me engaged in this dry MIS class material. You need to participate and do the HW! FYI you can google online quiz q's for answers. Definitely need to study for tests and read the grading criteria, it really helps to score higher.MISM 2014-10-09 14:16:10 +0000 UTC
The 1-star reviews do have a point, the class is a lot of memorizing jargon. None of the class work is all that difficult tho, most is just applying the aforementioned jargon. The exams are open note too. The lectures are hard to sit through because it just keeps going and going and going. Prof. Dias himself is a good dude, energetic and passionateMISM2301 2026-04-23 14:24:47 +0000 UTC
Professor Dias's class is definitely more difficult than other MISM courses but you will learn so much from him. The class is based on weekly case studies and he gives very detailed feedback on them. Class participation is weighed very heavily, participation every class is expected. Hard but definitely worth it, Professor Dias is great.MIS2301 2024-05-07 14:37:14 +0000 UTC
MGSC 6204 Managing Information Resources was a require MBA course focused on IT systems. This class had very little value to me and a heavy workload for a 1.5 credit class. The only positive experience I had was with Prof Dias. He kept us engaged every class and was a joy to listen to. Great professor! Boring subject that had very little value!MGSC6204 2016-06-16 22:19:40 +0000 UTC
If you are a very technical person, then this class might be good, but it's not for everyone. He makes it very difficult to understand the concepts if you don't have prior understanding. Repeats lectures every week. Started off the semester by warning us that "we will probably fail." Thinks its ok to grade work like 3.4859 USING AI TO GRADE!MISM2301 2026-03-24 20:58:10 +0000 UTC
Smart guy, terrible teacher. He is knowledgeable about MIS but can’t get the concepts across to students in a meaningful manner. Its obvious from his feedback that he only glances over homework and grades them based on how many buzzwords you throw around. As other students have said he is incredibly condescendingMIS2301 2022-03-05 00:54:50 +0000 UTC
hes actually the chillest mf so funny and is such a lil caring manMISM2301 2026-03-23 03:13:39 +0000 UTC
Professor Dias' lectures are very hard to understand. A lot of the information within the textbook and lectures isn't applicable to the case studies. He grades case studies strictly and tests (there are 3) more leniently. It's pretty hard to get an A in this class so if you're trying to protect your 4.0, you probably shouldn't take this professor.MIS2301 2021-04-30 18:28:47 +0000 UTC
Martin a G. the guy offers inspirational lectures I mean are we da??? If you fail this class u stupi alls you gotta do is raise yo hand ery now and then he even clap back wit a lil giggle its ma favorite class. We eve get a wacky wednesday last class he brought in his action figure collection,I tried on his light up batman mask. Luh this guy frMISM2301 2026-03-23 03:09:02 +0000 UTC
if you do not answer questions in class, your participation will be 4/10 even you come up every class. 10 minutes quiz before each session, 1 case study every week, 3 exams, no final.MIS2301 2019-05-02 19:18:02 +0000 UTC
He thinks it's okay to give a student a 89.9876 on an exam and not round. He gave one student in the class a 6.99 for participation. He is on a high horse, and you don't learn a thing, saying you'll probably fail.MISM2301 2026-03-19 19:07:52 +0000 UTC
