Unapproachable. Unhelpful. Does his best to make anyone who asks a question feel stupid, and therefore they stop asking questions! Worst teacher I've ever had in my four years at Mary Washington...

Comment:

Quite possibly the greatest CompSci prof you will ever have at MWC. He's abundantly clear with his lectures as well as with his assignments and tests. He teaches you to think on your own and actually figure things out. People that don't like him are usually idiots and should not be in the major itself because they're just looking for handouts.

Comment:

Somehow i got a B in this class, which surprised me. Yes, he's hard and enjoys the fact that his class is hard. I didn't do any of the practice problems, but went to every class and did ok on the programs. He's a nice guy sometimes, but can be an **** too. I like his "war stories" from the 60s

Very unapproachable. Doesn't explain anything. Expects you to figure out everything yourself. Will not help you and makes you feel stupid when you ask for clarification.

Great teacher! Tough, but understands the material well and presents it clearly. Take him only if you like a challenge, are willing to work hard, and want to truly delve into computer science.

Very hard. Takes pride in weeding out students. Don't get behind and go ask for help at his office.

Comment:

Reynolds knows his stuff and is enthuiastic about it, the classes he teaches are hard but he tries to make it a straightforward as possible, but he gets really mad if you ask him questions about hte assignment a day before its due
