Comment:
Many people do not like him, there's a very good chance that you won't like him. He has an incredibly dry sense of humor that can come off as offensive to some. As long as you show that you've tried to do the work, he will help you on projects. Overall a great professor, it's a shame I won't have him again.

Comment:
There are many poor reviews for Dr. Pyzdrowski. I don't believe they accurately describe the situation, or the professor. This professor expects you to do the work. Read. Write. And if he fails you? It's because he cares. Cares about businesses in the real world that otherwise have to deal with your sorry work ethic or lack thereof. Get over it.

Comment:
He is the most arrogant and hateful person you will ever meet. Does one example in class at an extremely fast pace, and then makes jokes when students do poorly on test and assignment. He is not in it for the students he is in it for the money and power. He made the pretty clear when he went on strike and did not move due dates back.

He expects you to know how to program going into the course. He is very vague and only gives information for assignments if you go to his office hours. If you want to actually learn, take him, but be prepared to suffer for the whole semester.

Hopefully this review doesn't get taken down. Hear me out, this guy is intelligent. He knows what he is talking about. That being said, horrible professor. Extremely dry sense of humor that comes off as arrogant and cold. Complicates everything, isn't very clear, and will have some sneering remark if you ask him a question. Avoid at all costs.

Comment:
Pyzdrowski is a great professor for multiple reasons. He really challenges the class to make them learn the subject and with any of his assignments if you are having trouble he is available to help you out. Don't wait till the last minute though as this really annoys him and he won't do the project for you. Attendance is only needed for his quizzes

If you are a CS major, you cannot avoid 'P dawg'. He is the only one that teaches certain classes so you better learn to love him! He has a weirdly funny sense of dry humor (most people don't get him). Stay on top of your assignments and you will be fine. Ask him for help if you have problems, he will help you but he preferes you ask early.

Tough. You have to stay on top of the material, start projects when theyre assigned. You cannot put anything off in this class til the last minute or youre screwed. He will answer any question about your programs, just ask him early on. Class is not manditory, but if you dont go you will be very lost.

I have had Dr. Pzydrowski for several classes, as well as having him as my advisor. He teaches at a quick pace, but will stop to answer questions in and after class. His classes teach students how to find answers themselves, which can be frustrating if you're used to having answers handed to you.

Dr. Pyzdrowski is quite confusing when teaching and explaining lessons. The course starts out fairly simple, but then the difficulty increases. I studided for his tests for several hours still resulting in poor grades. Try to avoid him by taking another professor's class.

I really really disliked this guy's classes. He's a nice person and can be funny, but his class was extremely difficult and he didn't explain material very well. He use to joke about how many people failed his classes, like that was a good thing. I'm surprised he still teaches.

I had Dr. Pyzdrowski for lab in EET 160 and he did a good job. If you have a question, ask! He won't give you the answer but guide you to it, which helped me learn the topics. He was a huge help in lab clearing up the few things Mr. Loney left foggy. He is a very nice guy and has an off angle sense of humor! A+ and 5 out of 5

Comment:
Expects you to know everything on his level. Groups are too big to get anything done together. Makes many references by using cartoon characters. Everything is STRICTLY from the book. I'm in a programming class that doesn't even have computers. Really now? I don't prefer taking him. At all.

Hard class if you're not a CSC major. Nice guy with a different sense of humor than most are used to. I'd try to avoid this class and take the woman that teaches it. She came into our class to teach a few times and her classes are more hands on. His classes are all lecture and notes. But he is a great guy and very fair on tests and quizzes.

May seem a bit rude/uncaring if you're not familiar with his sense of humor, but probably one of the best professor's I've had in 4 years. Do your work, go to class, show him that you put effort into the course and you'll do fine

Very good teacher, wants students to understand and encourages students to seek help outside of class, at first I thought he was rater rude/conceited and once I began to understand his sense of humor I began to like him better. Hes a good guy overall.
