Comment:

If you are taking computer science classes or need a easy non-lab science, take a class with Joel. As someone who finds computer programming to be a foreign language, Joel has helped me tremendously on every assignment. He makes his class easy to understand but still challenges you to think

Stay on top of the work. He will challenge you to think through problems, and write the code to solve it. Exams are open note, if you do well on the labs use those for reference.

Comment:

This class is hard as hell, but Joel will help you through it all the way. Lectures are boring, but the whole topic is boring. If you can do the labs, you'll be OK. Just try to keep up and get through it and you'll come out aight.

Comment:

Great teacher. He gives you hard stuff, but doable once you stop and think on it some. He knows what you are capable of and doesn't push you past that limit. Understands you have other classes and doesn't overload you with work. Very helpful professor.

Wonderful professor, he understood that some people have NO background in computer science. Our class got to do labs with lego robots which was cool, I'll definitely want to take his class for the second level of CSC.
