Comment:

Goofy but not too bad. He grades VERY hard; one simple mistake (seriously) and you lose at least half credit on every problem. Homework is random (timing and content). The exams are almost identical to the practice tests but he can throw some curveballs. Towards the end the lecture flattens out; if you can avoid taking the final you should.

Comment:

His lectures usually have nothing to do with the lesson nor do they relate to the textbook Tests are all or nothing, meaning you either get 25 points in a question or 0 points. One little mistake in code and you lose all points (I wish I was exaggerating). Your best bet is to hope his old tests make sense.

Comment:

The tests are word for word, 100% the practice test. They are the exact same thing. Just memorize it. Lectures are boring and he makes a lot of mistakes on the board. You can 100% snooze through lecture, be there for the quizzes, and memorize the practice test and be fine. Very boring.

Comment:

Really bad at grading tests. Questions are usually all-or-nothing, so while it might help you once in a blue moon if you show your work, chances are you won't get any of the points for a question you get wrong anyways.

Good professor. Lectures are interesting, makes the class fun to attend. Likes giving pop-quizzes, homework is easy points, takes attendance. Harsh grader on exams, be as precise and clear with answers as possible or he wont give credit.

Comment:

His analogies are a little off, sure, and he's old, so he likes anecdotes. Also, on tests/quizzes be as PRECISE as possible. He took off for using abbreviations on diagrams that he used, although since he DID explain what they stood for (some might say they were common knowledge for CpE majors) you can't say it's wholly unfounded. Don't cut corners

Comment:

Nutter tells a lot of stories- few of which have a lot to do with the material being covered. Quizzes come from the previous week's notes, and the exams are very similar to the previous semester's exams.

Comment:

Although he uses analogies (that don't really make sense) to describe everything, he is still a very straighforward professor. Take notes on class lectures and study those for the quizes. The tests are exactly like the practice tests.

Comment:

He's ridiculous, puts things on tests that he never goes over in class. Tests VERY unfair.. basically by the end of the semester you'll hate him intensely, so just save yourself the trouble and don't take anything he's teaching.

Comment:

Roy Nutter is the most unfair professer i have ever had. He takes off points on some tests and not on others. Avoid him if possible. When i went to him to talk about my test grade he laughed at me and made me even more angrier.

Comment:

Horrible teacher. Avoid at all costs. Puts things on tests that he NEVER goes over in class. Doesn't give much partial credit. Doesn't really seem to have a point when he's teaching. Overall just a crappy teacher.. don't take him unless you absolutely have to.

The Lectures were very interesting after we got out of assembly language. Tests were somewhat unfair. The class was actually kinda fun to go to.

Great professor.Likes to have "Quiz time" at the start of most classes.Most hw deals with topics from previous courses.Tests are really fair.He pretty much tells you what each question will be before hand.I would recommend you take him for any and all classes possible.

Comment:

Great guy. He is not like any other professor because he doesn't stick to a schedule for a course. New topics are made day to day and the material is broad (Does anyone ever remember details learned during a course a year later? NO!!). Learned a lot in his courses which help me life.

Tests are pretty much identical to practice tests. He is somewhat forgetful and sometimes talks about off topic things for the whole class. Overall, I enjoyed his classes and would def. take him again.

He kind of floats around. Likes attendance sheets and is overall pretty interesting. He goes kind of slow, so you can get bogged down in material. Just work the crossword or something to fill the time.

Comment:

If you go to class and study the practice test, you will be fine. HE is very straightforward about what will be on the tests. ANyone who got less that an A in his class shuld be ashamed of themselves.

Dr. Nutter was my advisor on my senior project. He was not very helpful and not very clear. He is a fairly nice person, though.
