You need the book for the class but expects you to know EXACTLY what he knows. Deviate from that and you will fail the class.

Can you say BORING? What a waste of time. I could learn more from reading a book. This is way too easy. It is not college level caliber and neither is the instructor.

All this guy does is repeat what is in the book. His testing is not related to what he goes over in class. I totally wasted my time. I can't wait until they replace him.

Comment:

Has no curriculum, doesn't use the textbook 99% of the time, lectures are 80% unclear, entire semester is based on lectures, he's narcissistic, egotistic, unapproachable, and sometimes assigns homework which he has little knowledge of. Overall, he could use a class or two on how to be a better teacher.

This guy is on an ego trip. He likes to act very athoritative, but may be compensating for his short stature, and balled head. You can learn just as much without him....if not more.

Comment:

Narcissist, anyone? All 50 good comments are written by himself-he admits it 1st day of class. Lectures consist of pointing to pages in book, then testing on random topics he's never addressed. Grades extremely hard. Not flexible. Made me glad for CSU budget cuts-professors like this do not belong in a classroom attempting to teach.

Comment:

He works at Sun, so he tries to incorporate as much of Sun as he can in the syllabus. He wasted our time in the UNIX class, teaching us Solaris, instead of a simpler and universal version of Linux. He wants students to "write exactly what [he] taught" and to try not to use their brains (!?). Even if your response on the exam is better than what he

Comment:

He's the laziest professor I ever seen. Lot of lab nights. And the funny thing is he use the same quizzes and Midterms over and over for every semester. I got some pass paper from friend and got an easy A for the class. Not recommended if you wanna learn stuff.

Comment:

If you have seen good reviews on this teacher, that must be posted by himself. He doesn't even feel shame on saying that he would comment himself on this website on our first class. If you just need a credit, but it won't be good btw, take his class, because the sentence he said most often is "tonight is the lab night, you are free to go."

Comment:

The worse CS professor that I've had. Wasn't able to tell how many megabytes are in one gigabyte. His lectures are all about reading the textbook, he will ask you to memorize stupid commands. Be ready, he tries to make his midterms and finals really hard with questions that he didn't go over.DON'T TAKE HIM. You will wast your time.

Comment:

Half of the classes are actually no lecture at all. The lectures are only "I will test on you on page ...., I will not test on page ...." On the final, there appears something from the pages that he said he wouldn't test us. No notes, slides, or others at all. He sometimes can't answer students' questions. What he said was"don't waste your time"

This guy's a real loser. He teaches for ego boost only. Likes to be in command. Must have got picked on a lot when he was a boy. Actually still looks like a little boy.

Need to pay attention to lectures. Take advantage of lab time offered. Picky when it comes to grading. Practical final killed my grade. But, he warned me.
