The assignments at moments were vague even after asking questions in class. Waste of classes when he just put a video of himself talking. All in all was still a very nice teacher and putting aside the tough marks I respect him.

Clear, organized and knowledgeable. Expect assigned work. There is a fair bit of coursework. If you don't know much about programming you will be challenged.
