My instructor Micah Gilbert is phenomenal. Not only is he a great teacher but also a cool, interesting guy. He's very knowledgeable and good at making class engaging.

Online programming at IECRM is lacking to say the least, between poor web design that locks students out of homework and quizzes, resets test answers when submitted and lags horribly during class it is a difficult learning environment. My instructor, Greg Thomas, struggles to use teaching tools and is consistently lacking in knowledge of the subjects he is teaching.
