This was the best advisor I ever had. I wish he was still at UMD because my current advisor blows. This man taught me a lot and I would seek out his help in other classes. He was always willing to help.

Comment:

One of the best professors I've ever had. Also one of the craziest. Notorious for quotes like "IF statements are your enemy!" and "You are all bad programmers!" It's a shame he is no longer at UM-D.

Comment:

One of the few professors with actual practical experience in the field. Ditto on the strict grading, but I would rather get a C or B in his class than an A in another professor's class, hands down.

Comment:

Easily one of the best profesors @ UM-D. Could be intimidating at times and a bit enthusiastic, but there is a method to his maddness, he could be funny too! You will have to EARN your A, but you will actually learn the material.

Comment:

I'm just a math major, so I had no interest in programming but was forced to take the class. But Itani was the best professor I could have had...very intimidating if passionate profs scare you, but extremely helpful if you show him you want to learn.

smart dude, but his grading is really strict, half the class failed the final exam and also failed the course, does explain well, expects too much from the students

One of the VERY few good CIS teachers at U of M Dearborn. He knows how to explain the material, he is funny and he is of great help when asked. He is sometimes intimidating though. That's about the only minus.

Comment:

Great professor ... very helpful outside of class, and very intelligent and easy to talk to. Can be intimidating, but don't let that fool you; he respects those who work hard, even if they don't do terribly well. Hates whiners ... :D

I’ve enjoyed this course. The professor has pulled together many issues which I did not fully understand from previous course-work. I especially appreciate the homework/projects. The professor comes-up with problems which require a good deal of thought

Everything in the exam or in the quizes, you can expect from his letures. He is sharp person as well as he is very quick and also he almost never make any mistake. He won't give out programs that you cannot do!

At last a CIS prof that actually cares about programming and not some useless theory! He does yell a lot, but it's just cause he's so enthusiastic!

Very clear explanations. Yells a lot, but it is an excellent teacher. Best I've had here for CS. Not a super math-nerd like the rest of them.

Very fair. Clear explanations. I'm glad to see the university finally hired someone that has some experience. I have to agree that it does sound like he's yelling when he answers questions.
