A little disorganized, but it was a brand new class. He is really entertaining in class and I did learn a lot about how computers work and the future of the field. I felt like this was a really useful class for non-comp sci majors. Great class, WONDERFUL professor.

Comment:

Stu is great. He grades fairly and is always friendly. He jokes a lot about his age. He does seem to leave the student a little more responsibility to learn material on their own than Bailey does, but that's good for a lot of people. I don't think I learned quite as much in his class as I have with Bailey, but it was a good experience nonetheless.

Comment:

Yes this class is an easy A, but it's also fascinating if you listen to what Stu has to say in his, often ignored, lectures. Stu is awesome and always willing to help students who are not comp geeks. The work is easy, but extremely time consuming.

Comment:

I took this class on a whim and am SO GLAD that I did. My friends always say, "I can't believe that you are taking Computer Science... and enjoying it!" But Stu is absolutely incredible - I learned so much, and he is just very entertaining and intelligent.

One of the funniest professors I ever had. Really cemented my interest in the computer science field, and made me certain I wanted to be a major. Everything in class was very clearly explained and easy to follow.

Great guy if you're buddies with him (in which case I agree with all of the below), but if you're not, then you might find that those buddies have an easier time than you. No serious accusations here, just an observation.
