Not clear and not helpful. Could have (and did) watch YouTube videos that explained the material better.

Comment:

Exams are very hard. His lecturing style is very boring and he explains concepts a lot harder than they should be a lot of times. I recommend taking Professor Burger instead. The only thing that helped me through this class was labs.

Comment:

This was a great intro course for programming. I took num methods (Matlab) concurrently and found CSE100 simple in comparison. Most learning came through labs and hw. Examples were key for me to learn syntax. Exams will show if you know material. Spent 1-3 hours/week even with tests for this class. Delibero is nice and cares about his students.

Comment:

Delibero is a great professor. He genuinely cares about his students. His lecture style is quite old fashioned though (powerpoint slides), so to understand everything completely you need to make sure to ask questions (which he encourages). Labs are also extremely useful,make sure to do all of them (for the extra points). Definitely would recommend.

Comment:

If you can have someone else, save yourself the trouble and choose someone else's class (if you want to learn). Easy points but you will be frustrated the whole time. And you will be picked apart not for doing something wrong but not doing his way.

Comment:

Uses paper exams in a programming class. Covers very basic concepts of programing. Understanding the language doesn't necessarily earn you a passing grade. Assigned programs are boring. Hard grader. Course structure is very confusing. Hard to calculate class standing before the end of the semester. Exams are difficult.

Comment:

Overall, a great teacher. He expects you to pay attention and follow directions, but loves to teach and tries to keep things interesting. Most of the assignments aren’t too hard, and about 90% of the test questions are from his lectures. There’s an awesome grade curve, and if you do well enough throughout the semester, you can skip the final.

Comment:

Professor DeLibero, is not quite clear in his lectures and notes. I've seen materials on exams that he did not cover in lecture. But, the built in curve is sick. You can lose up to 7 points on an exam and still get 100%. The last few of his assignments are somewhat difficult, but all in all, an easy A. Plus the final is optional.

Very animated. He will get in your face and ask for questions. He's very helpful and will always stop for a question. He really wants the students to succeed.

Ok people PLEASE LISTEN TO ME....PLEASE!!....Joe DeLibero is a funny guy, HOWEVER. Please do NOT take this course unless your life is threatened or you NEEED it....and only if you NEEEEEED it. This class is extremely time consuming very frusterating to rookie programmers, and is taught for people who can already program...DONT TAKE THIS COURSE!!!

Comment:

Delibero makes the subject more difficult than it has to be. I took the class just for fun, but found it to be harder than the calc III and university physics that I was also taking. The biggest complaint about the lecture is there is no computer to use during it! Instead you get poorly written power-point aids which he charges you extra for!

Comment:

DeLibero is a great professor. Very helpful whenever you have question and he will make you ask questions if nobody is asking any. The assignments are easy as long as you dont start too late. I spend 2 straight days working on them the day before they are due and I still got an A. Think how well you'll do starting it when its available.

Comment:

He is the right man for the job! He learned every one's name (and this is a big lecture class) and was extremely helpful. He was very good at allowing time to answer questions and was extremely patient and clear. Does not use +/- grade system. Gives very fast feedback, uses the class Discussion board. Labs are more help than harm.

Comment:

Very nice and enthusiastic about what he is teaching. Extremly helpful for those who dont understand. The subject is boring but there is not much he can do for that. Assignments dont take too much time and tests are relatively easy. He allows a cheat sheet on all tests including the final!

Comment:

Understandly dull topic and class, however Delibero teaches very well and is almost TOO clear about things, pushing the brink of redundancy. He is always availible to help during office hours. Easy A and even easier Footnot 18s for those of you who need honors credits.

Comment:

Your standard programming class. If you've experienced one of these before, it's identical, merely in C++. Solid professor; definitely willing to help if you're willing to put out effort. The tests come from his notes (can be purchased for $13; i HIGHLY recommend this) and the assignments aren't bad IF you don't wait till the last day to start.

Comment:

if you are taking this class because it is randomly required for your major, then good luck. I am a math major, and had no experience with programming what so ever...I worked my butt off and had to neglect my other classes to barely earn a B in the class.
