Comment:

Says "um" so many times it's impossible to focus and I mean this in all honesty. Can't type and has trouble getting through the assignments he makes. He sometimes won't go through the assignments in class like the other profs do. Very unhelpful and uninterested. Spends WAY too much time on the most trivial points. Take with another professor.

Comment:

OMG, HE IS THE WORST COMPUTER USAGE TEACHER EVER. Actually he was the only comp usage teacher I had and what a bad experience that was. HIS MONOTONOUS VOICE IS SO BORING, YOU CANT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING THAT EXITS HIS LIPS! It seems as if he expects you to instantaneously memorize each and every word he says. BAD PROFF, YOULL FAIL THE EXAM BRUTALLY!

Once he says something, you are expected to have it memorized. I suggest any other comp usage prof but this guy - I cant pay attention because he says ummm so often i just start counting his ummms. plus he lost it on some poor woman when she corrected him and was right

Comment:

I found this class really poorly taught, half the time the student had to tell him what to do with the computer, he is not helpful and neither is his TA. I would recommend this class to anyone but NOT this professor, the information is interesting and would be helpful in the workfield and the information is not for new computer users.

Comment:

He teaches what needs to be taught, but he is kind of intimidating. If you're going to him about something he/TA marked wrong, make sure all your other answers that are marked right are REALLY correct... otherwise he'll deduct those instead.
