OK, I had Paul Carter for APSC160 and he was a fantastic prof! Real gem of a guy, it's the course itself that is really challenging especially if you have never coded before. Really do your best to keep up, do all the pre labs and worksheets and screencasts and bitfits and maybe you'll be fine.

Bruh-in his apsc 160 classes he just gives screencast homework every class and does clicker questions and worksheets during the class, and does not teach anything by himself. Especially if you have no coding experience before, you are gonna have a hard time.

Everyone I know loves Paul Carter. Lectures can be dull, but very helpful since he goes over practice problems. He explains material so clearly and has a lovely accent.

i love paul carter. took him for apsc 160. lectures and screencasts are thorough and clear. he's strict with the class but it helps keep the chaos of a 300+ class down. he has a good idea of when the class is struggling and pauses the lecture to help. honestly brightens my day just seeing him walk down main mall :-)

Comment:
A solid professor. Lectures are generally enthusiastic. It's an easy A+ if you know how to code and you stay on track. However, it is time-consuming, especially the project. Do not skip the lectures. If you miss a lecture, catching up on the material is difficult, since there's no textbook and the readings contain insufficient examples.

Comment:
Professor Carter was rather intimidating and maintained a stern face whenever I asked him questions. I found him hard to approach in office hours, which were also very crowded. He gives great lectures, but they are fast-paced so you have to follow closely. Since there is no textbook for the course, keeping up in lectures is really important.

He genuinely cares about his students and encourages many questions in class. His lectures are never boring and he clearly knows a lot about what he does.

Lots of profs are smart, but Paul not only knows his stuff but he's super easy to understand and just a great educator overall. You can tell he really cares, which is nice too. He also has a really soothing voice.

Paul is an amazing lecturer. He always let's students preread the subject of the day which helps them warm up, then he lectures, then ALWAYS gives time for questions and/or discussions. He is also not afraid to enforce classroom expectations if a student is being disruptive.

One of my favorite profs. He clearly explains every topic and always gives everyone opportunities to ask questions. Assignments, exams were all fair and you can do really well in the class by keeping up with his lectures and the assignments. Great prof

Paul Carter is a good instructor. His teaching & explantion is fast, precise, and clear. However, beware that he is so strict and extremely greedy in terms of grades. That is the only thing I dislike about him. Given an extremely difficult final, he (likely) didn't even scale at all, which ruined your GPA.

CPSC 121 is a challenging course that covers a lot of material, and Patrice definitely knows what he's talking about. Assignments are quite challenging and often contain material that was not learned during lecture.

Carter has attitude problems. The course work i.e. assignments and labs do not prepare you for the exams which have a big theoretical component. The readings weren't also helpful.

Not much to say except that Paul Carter is a fantastic prof and you shouldn't miss the chance to learn from him.
