Read textbook to understand the concept in order to complete the homework assignments. Start the homework assignment early, don't wait till the deadline. Have a midterm and a final. Go to lab hours/ TA's office hours for help.

Comment:
One of the better professors out there, not an easy A, but he teaches well and at descent pace and expects you to put in effort. Assigns fairly challenging projects but is always available to help and explain, both in class and out of class. Learned a lot in his class and would definitely take again.

He expects a good amount of work from you, but he is fair and easy to understand. One of the best I've had, especially for Comp Sci.

Comment:
I had this professor with the intention of learning java object oriented programming. I spent ridiculous amount of hours learning on my free time. Why did I care so much about learning the content? his grading system is incredibly difficult and he is not a nice professor. 10/10 not recommended. Strict and terrible professor.

Programs are pretty easy, especially if you have good TAs. Midterm was difficult. He's a good teacher, and there isn't any surprises. Attendance is mandatory, go to class, pay attention and take good notes and its an easy A. Also, read the book, helps w programs and tests.

He doesn't always get back to emails and takes of points for stupid stuff. He defiantly has a passion for the subject and wants you to do well. programs and attendance are 45% of your grade so show up to class and do your work and you will do well. Midterm was a lot harder then the final but there is a slight curve so don't worry.

Very reasonable professor. He expects a fair amount from his students, but nothing that has not been addressed by him or the book. Very fun and clear professor.

Expects you to do your part in reading. Compared to other CS teachers here, very solid professor, able to answer questions and communicate effectively.

He expects a lot from his students, as in he expects you to come to class having read and digested every little bit of what he assigned, and will call you out on the little bits. He's a tough grader, but overall he's fair. Just don't expect too much help from him outside of class.

Comment:
i think hez a gr8 professor. He expects his students to put most of the effort though. He also already assumes that you have done all the reading and then come to class. But even inside class, whenever you'll ask him for help, he will be nice. His tests are ez if you have prepared well enough for even 1 day. His assignments towards the end get mad

Fairly good teacher, very good communication skills. Brings you from hello world,to net applications. Open assignments on test, but not book. Does not grade own assignments, does not review graded assignments fairly. Does not respond to e-mail well. Will not help you on assignments unless it is one week prior to due date.

He ALWAYS messes something up on the assignment sheets. Allows for no experimentation and creativity at all. I did extra work on one assignment and he took points off my grade. Other than his stupid grading systems, I guess this class is alright.

Had a very laid back approach to this class, never kept us the full time. Was avaible after class to help you debug your program.
