Comment:

Extremely lazy. ALWAYS late making up assignments, promises one date, ends up coming out 5 days later. Be prepared to learn a lot of stuff by yourself. The one good thing is he is really helpful if you approach him in person or email. Seems willing to help and usually does.

Comment:

If you get him as a prof, switch out immediately. Extremely unhelpful. He thinks you only have one class because he gives you crazy amount of work. I don't know how he could be a prof. He doesn't teach. He just gives assignments. If you can avoid. Avoid. You'll be better off.

Comment:

This professor has got to be the most closed minded human on earth. His mind set is just over 50 years old, so any idea that you bring to class if It doesnt fall into this time period, not only is it not even considered, but your also wrong! This is one of the worst compsci profs at western. AVOID

Comment:

Maybe it's just that there is so much difference between 026 and 027. It is exhausted to catch up in CS027 and thus lead me think that he is kinda bad before. But when coming back to think about it, he doesn't really have much choice on the way to teach. CS027 is boring.

He's a very nice guy, but he talks a lot and doesn't say anything relevant. I feel bad for caling him boring because he's such a nice person. But, yes, he's very boring.

Comment:

He is so very, VERY boring. I went to the second CS027 class for that day quite often because I couldn't listen to him the first time around. But he's helpful if you ask him on an individual basis.

the most boring teacher I have ever had. Repeats the irrelevant things but flies over the important ones. I feel a sleep twice in his class...

He's really boring, and doesn't explain concepts very well to the class. His best teaching goes on one-on-one during the break.
