Tough course. The course material would be hard no matter the prof. Some of the questions on the final were pretty hard. Nice guy though

Comment:

Dr. Meek was a good prof, he seemed very nice and very "meek". His explanations could have been alot better though, so you will need the textbook for that. Assignments are easy. The final was way too long, but at least 80% of it was done in class or in assign. If you love math you will like this course. Got an A+ here so I'm not complaining. :)

Comment:

with the amounts of notes he give per you will almost never leave class early. he keeps on going to the very last second of class even if he know he going to be starting the next topic and bearly even go through. BUT his exams and homework are heavily based on his notes. which makes them very easy to do.

Comment:

It's a good thing this course was easy, because this professor seemed to have no idea what he was talking about. Now I found out he teaches higher-level computer science courses, and I'm a bit worried. Attendance or even reading the textbook for this class are not necessary, you will learn everything you need to from the assignments.

I enjoyed his lectures. He can be very meek. Very nice professor and very nice to talk to outside of class. His assignments can be a little challenging to some but, great stuff.

Awful awful awful prof. When he runs into a snag during explainations he goes off on some tangent and starts mumbling like an idiot. Avoid at all costs, he is a nice person but makes an attrocious teacher. 0/10

Comment:

Was not impressed with his knowledge of the material for the course I took with him, but he is apparently better for graphics. Refuses to give students full solutions to assignments so you're never quite sure if you actually learned what you got wrong.

Comment:

I'm sure he is a great person, however his teaching ability is questionable. When a professor doesn't have confidence in what he is teaching how are students supposed to be confident in him enough to learn it? He frequently "Didn't quite get this but.." or "I don't know why this is like this but.." etc. etc.

Comment:

He's probably a nice guy, but you cannot stay awake in his classes. His level of enthusiasm and confidence is questionable. I didn't really learn much from his course except how to become comfortable enough to sleep in Armes seating.
