Comment:

If you have aptitude and passion for Computer Science, Dr. Seaman will devote the time to forge you into one of your future company's sharpest weapons. If you cannot get an A in his courses, prepare yourself for a mediocre career, because it doesn't get any easier. Dr. Seaman brings MIT quality to Albright College, and I am forever in his debt.

Probably my hardest professor while I was in school, but also the most knowledgeable. I currently have a profession in computer science and wish I would of paid more attention to this guy than I did. What he teaches is actually valuable to know in a programming career.

Comment:

Professor is only difficult because the material he teaches is difficult in the first place. He teaches it well and is extremely lenient with grading. Outside of class he is available virtually 24/7 to assist students with what questions they have.

Comment:

Gives clear explanations in class, but his homework, tests, and final were difficult. I went to his office hours AND tutoring in the ALC almost everyday all semester and still only got a B+. Test averages would be like 20/80. Also, good luck transferring this class if you leave Albright because it was nearly impossible to get the credits to coun

Do not take this class with him, unless you plan on failing. He is really tough to understand, he will help you outside of class but it confuses you even more.

Although he isn't always clear at times, he provides excellent notes and provides examples on the topic being discussed in class. Make sure you read the notes and the assigned reading before class, and you will do fine.

He was absolutly the worst teacher ever. He is so bad that they dont even list his name when they know he is teaching a Math class. He is very smart but cant teach.

Comment:

Extremely smart and a little hard to understand at first, but dont give up on him. He can be extremely helpful if you take the time to ask him. If you take the time to do ALL of the labs you will have a 97 in the class...the quizes arent as important and the final wont hurt you that much. Dont feel bad if you do bad on the final, we all did bad.

Comment:

He very hard to understand. The entire course is doing proofs, and prooving theroms. Any defitniton quizes have to be exactly how he defines it, and not how you understand it(even if that way is correct). VERY tough class. You learn material in a Calc Class that math majors in a 300 level class learn. If you can avoid taking his class.

he complicates things when he explains them. most of the class time is spent telling you the proof behind the formula. not really math.

Don't bother getting a notebook in class. He provides notes for you. As long as you pay attention in class you'll do fine. NEED EXPERIENCE IN JAVA to pass the class.

I WAS interested in comp Sci until his class. He was difficult and impossible to understand. It is like they say...the people who really know computers, can not teach others about computers.

Comment:

He graduated second in his class at MIT in 1985. He can do anything but he chooses to teach. Admirable. He knows stuff so well it can be indimidating. He wants labs and projects to be perfect. He can kick Falabella's arse any day of the week.

I had him for half of my CSC classes from 1996 to 2000. Always there to help - never got frusterated.
