Comment:
He cracks a lot of jokes (almost every other sentence) but is very knowledgeable in what he's teaching. He provides information on what's actually used in the work field and helpful tips. He's very curt so don't expect long replies. There are portions where it's heavily self-study but his tests are extremely easy if you actually do your labs weekly

Comment:
Blackboard is mess. test 1 and 2 are messier. unclear questions. have to guess in advance to answer things he wants. not sure which part exactly correct or wrong for answers. seems to get deducted marks from un-asked question. no matter how good you are, you will get mark deducted for any tests because of ambiguous.

Comment:
Super condescending guy. We missed 5 weeks of his class because he went on vacation for 2 weeks in the middle of the semester, and then he cancelled 3 other classes. But he'll still expect you to know the material inside and out, with no leniency. His general mentality is 'you need to know the material, whether I teach it to you or not.'

Comment:
Ron is an amazing professor. Though he is grandpa, he is hilarious like your best freinds. His jokes make this boring subject fun. The amount of tasks is okay and he actually teaches well too. There are many good reasons to take his course. By the way he would not answer if you call him professor. Call his name. He doesnt like to hear professor

Surprised because he is old. Funny and fun subject. He is not the content. Could do this self study but not disciplined enough so I go to class. Classes short and direct.

Comment:
If you dont have a sense of humour, you will not like his jokes. The types of jokes he says are very unprofessional but super funny. He is very fair and kind, if you show up to his classes and do all the work, you can get an easy B+. All the other professors for this course are brutally hard, so try to get him for the whole term and you will pass.

Great person, funny. Forgiving. Disinterested in material, admits to lack of knowledge, unpredictable grading criteria. He might give impression that his class is incredibly easy but let your guard down, memorize material before tests. Note: Tests + exam 75% of total grade!! Working, memorized knowledge very important. Tests not open book.

Ron is the GREATEST teacher that has ever graced this planet with their presence! He is easily the funniest individual alive. I wish I could have him for all my classes. He is very helpful when it comes to assignments and is really easy going. They should increase the number you can rate professors on this site so he can get the 1000/5 he deserves.

His average is high. His notes are good and simple to follow. BUT... he will tell you RTFB. (Read the Book) It helps that SQL is all over the internet as well. Surprise, his test was identical to the assignment. Thank goodness I did my own work instead of joining a group. See you in DBS301 Ron. I want another A.

Really good guy. Knows what he's talking about. If you show up regularly and do your work, he is pretty forgiving of mistakes and gives you the opportunity to fix them for a better grade. I get the feeling he thinks the class is a little too easy and doesn't take it too seriously. He likes to joke around.

Very good at teaching the design portion of the course and goes through many examples with the class to make sure everyone gets the practice with designing. He is not as thorough with the SQL portion of the class and goes through the topics quickly. Also he is a very funny instructor and makes class enjoyable.

Here is the deal; He is funny, and he will make you pass probably (with grade D, C)but you will learn nothing from him! He cannot teach anything and makes the tests hard.
