You are not truly ready for the greatness that is Rick. Hands down the funniest prof at the university. He puts a huge emphasis on understanding the material as opposed to memorization (so try hards hate his class) and will help you work your way to the answer instead of giving it to you.

Comment:
Gives good real-world context and meaning to topics but does have a tendency to go a little off topic. Tests are difficult, attendance is VERY important and be sure to really understand material rather than memorization. It is a good idea to ask many questions and visit office hours. Overall a very caring solid professor.

Overall, pretty good. Gives good notes. Tests and exams are kind of hard, but questions are always fair. Make sure you go to class or you probably won't pass. Assignments and Labs aren't usually super hard but do take a while sometimes. Would definitely recommend.

+You HAVE to attend class. He's reasonable IF you miss it for a good reason. (420 is not a good reason) +Hard marker, but FAIR. He will NOT give you a question that hasn't been taught. +Easy to get a hold of; Office is usually open. +Friendly, and willing to help if you're willing to put effort in. He will NOT give you the answer. 9/10

Had Rick for CS1073 and CS1083. He's not great at explaining stuff. He's a really nice guy though, but unless you already have a pretty good understanding of Java, I would not recommend him.

He doesn't possess the knowledge to teach the course. He doesn't upgrade himself. Teaches wrong concept, will reduce marks for uploading a zip file instead of .tar file, If you get stuck on some issue while doing project or assignment he won't help as he himself doesn't know but expect us to solve the error. He is the only guy who I ever heard saying that read Wikipedia and write the answer. Avoid the course its awful, Plus I feel he I racist

He reads off the slides, doesn't do examples in class and gives assignments without teaching the material first so the students are left in the dark. The lectures are long and sometimes he goes over the allotted time period. He is willing to help if you ask for it and he is enthusiastic about the subject.

Think twice before taking ! It is not easy to score in his subjects. He is very friendly but you are expected to do things independently . Attendance is crucial !!!

I didn't go to class to learn, I went for the life lessons :P Also, you'll hear everyone complain about him not teaching, but this course is really, really easy. So figure it out on your own time, go to his class, and enjoy the show.

Comment:
Atrocious teacher. Can't teach at all. Reads from slides. Says "easy right?" and clicks next slide. Almost no examples. He is a fair marker. Friendly guy. Approachable. Of little help though if you have questions, expecting you to answer it yourself, no direction. students having to google answers in class to their questions as he didn't know.

Comment:
He takes FOREVER to go over anything. If you have absolutely ANY programming experience prior to this class you might as well bring a good book to read. He took a good week to go over 'if' statements. REALLY likes to go off topic, kind of a pain in the ass, he marks in a really stupid fashion, almost failed a midterm because I didn't divide by 2.
