Comment:

Literally death by power point. The class could be completely online because all lectures are read straight from a power point, that's from ETSU, and all homework/labs are from a set of problems in Word. If you don't solve a problem his way it's wrong. Also prepare to feel insulted if you need to ask him for help/clarification during or after class

Comment:

His classes are easy if: A. You are willing to do some work on your own. B. You follow instructions to the letter. C. You know how to do some basic troubleshooting on your own. Most people who have issues with him are those who expect to have everything handed to them. I will admit, his lectures could put anyone to sleep.

Comment:

Anderson is a fairly decent guy. I think the reason he seemed so out of touch in this class was because the class itself is not very interesting, to him or the students. However, I'll probably take some more classes with him in the future.

Anderson was pretty cool and lay back. Do the work and remember to put your name on it (as he has a thing about not having your name...), but the class is very boring. Hardly any hands on....

Mr. Anderson is very nice. This particular class is pretty boring, nothing like I expected. He was as bored teaching the class as most of us that were taking it.

Comment:

Mr. Anderson is a great instructor period. The problem most people have with him is he expects you to think for yourself and pay attention. The people that complain about him are typically the people that do not pay attention and ask the same questions over and over. It is a college level course and the student should be responsible for their work.

Comment:

Mr. Anderson teaches classes that the student must put forth effort to understand. He tries to make it clear, but if you are not trying, you may not get it. He is helpful and cares about his students. Computer Science requires work. Mr. Anderson tries to help as much as possible.

Comment:

Mr. Anderson is a wonderful teacher if you are willing to try to seek out answers yourself first. He does expect you to try to find the answer yourself first, but as adults we should be doing that anyways... this is college, not grade school.

Comment:

Mr. Anderson is one of the most rude person I have ever met. I had considered quitting this school if I had to take him for anymore classes, luckly I don't. His work isn't too hard, but it's just the fact that you need to be quiet and sorta hide from him as much as possible because you never know when he may go off just for asking a question.

Comment:

Does not care about one single student. When someone asks a question, he gives a smart remark to follow, then reveals the answer. I am personally scared to ask him anything. Ive had him for 2 semesters, and he has only been in a "nice" mood once. He is not lenient on homework, quizzes, labs and/or tests being turned in late. Stay Away If Possible

Very rude and inconsiderate. Assigned 4 tests all due on the same day and were over chapters covered (if you can even call it that) 4 weeks prior! Unprofessional and petty.

Mr. Anderson will teach if you want to learn. If you have a question he will take time to answer it until you understand. Tests are tough - but if you do the extra credit you will be ok.
