Comment:

I love the guy so much. He's a genius. Don't mix up the courses with the teacher. Let's separate the two: Professor Myers is: Well spoken, focuses on big picture, focuses on good programming, understands everything. Nice. The classes he teaches are: honors/heavy duty CS courses at Cornell University. HW is 10+ a week. Lube is advised.

Good teacher. Explains well and helpful if you ask for clarification. Assignments are long but the grading is quite generous.

Comment:

Lectures were always very clear and interesting and were a good learning experience. Taking the honors course resulted in a hefty load with seemingly unreasonable projects and deadlines. In the end was worth it. Prof. Myers was always very helpful when we had questions as was the rest of the course staff. Take this course if you want a challenge!!

Comment:

This class is simply way too hard. Problem sets in this class are longer and more tedious than comparable 300 level computer science classes, and the TA's grade them in the most anal retentive unforgiving manner possible. Myers is a pretty good lecturer, but don't let him organize the assignments.

Comment:

Don't take his course if you want an easy ride! His classes are tougher than almost anything else you'll spot in college. And yet, if you need help, he's always there to help. Plus, if you survive the course load, I got more out of his courses than any other class.

Above average teacher but not amazing. He hates C with a passion so do not get into an argument about programming languages with him.

Comment:

Likes to focus more on the logistics (comments, specifications, etc) of programming rather than the actual code itself. Has very long complicated projects. Class concepts are obtuse and difficult to understand.
