"I think this class can be beneficial to anyone... my favorite part was receiving more knowledge on Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access." "Perfect for anyone who desires to work at their own pace and still have responsive, professional, and highly competent assistance." "I loved being to work in the lab as many hours as I needed, Monday through Saturday. After successfully completing CIS 100 I went on to take more computer classes and eventually get Microsoft Certified"

"I took this class totally online.  All of the instructions were straight forward.  Since learning Microsoft Office, my duties at work have been simplified." "I was just offered a job in a small firm as a apprentice web designer. I first started working with computers at MiraCosta, taking Steve Isachsen's CIS 100 class.  If I can do it anyone can." "You can come and go whenever you please, as well as work at your own pace.  Assistance is always just a hand-raise away.  It's the most convenient class I have ever had."

"We really loved that there was always someone in the lab to help us.  Having each other and some of our friends in the class has been fun." "This was a great way to learn Microsoft Office.  I was able to work from home at either one of MiraCosta's campuses on my own schedule." "CIS 100  is one of the most convenient and informative classes I have taken at MiraCosta College."

"Working in the lab is very convenient; it is open until 8pm on most days and even open on Saturday.  With all this freedom I am on schedule to finish the class by the 6th week!" "I began CIS 100 as a novice with computers.  While doing the assignments I asked for help from the competent computer lab assistants.  They answered every question satisfactorily, giving me the confidence and desire to take more advanced computer courses." "I have really enjoyed coming to the computer lab.  I enjoy learning this way and everyone was really kind and helpful to me."

"I am really enjoying this class because I can create my own schedule and there are always many people and assistants in the lab who are willing to help anytime." "I recommend taking this class.  All of the people in the lab are friendly and willing to help when you have questions. I took both CIS 184 and CIS 150."

"I work on the computer every day for my job doing basic Word functions.  CIS 150 opened up an entire new world of what can be done with this program."

"I enjoyed the flexibility.  Although it wasn't an easy class, I learned a lot of stuff I will use in future classes."

 "I took this class with my mom and friend.  I started with no clue about Excel or Access, but now I feel like I have really learned skills which I can use in the future." "Flexible Learning classes are perfect for my schedule.  Due to me getting ready to have a baby, this class gave me the flexibility I needed to be successful."

"You can learn and come whenever you have time!" "I am currently enrolled in 21 units.  This class fits perfectly into my schedule because I can work it around my full load of lecture classes.  I hope to take more Flexible Learning classes in the future as I will be working full time." "I definitely use the skills that I am learning in this class in all my classes.  This class is also a good way to learn time management skills.  It has taught me to rely on myself and prioritize."

"This is the first college class I have had.  I had no clue what college life was like or if I had time for it.  I now know I can work a full time job in the Marine Corp and going to college can be done." "I can go to the lab as many times as I want and get ahead!" "In my case, I began more than mid-way through the semester which meant I would be under heavy pressure to complete all the assignments by the end of the term.  This program offers the option of an IP grade [when discussed with the Instructor by the third week of enrollment] which allowed me to resume my studies the following semester.  This offered me a peace of mind that I could complete the course without having to rush."
