Comment:

Very helpful professor! Will take time to help you with your programs before and after class. Is willing to answer any question you may ask, maybe with a little too much detail. Try to stay with the material, if you don't it's easy to be left in the dust.

Comment:

Barry is a sweet professor. Hardly anyone shows up to his classes and he doesn't care. Helps out a lot but takes a long time to explain what he's talking about so you understand it. Overall a really cool guy and I would recommend taking any class with him if possible.

Comment:

Super easy prof. If you remember the littest bit of high school algebra you will do fine. I maybe attended half the classes and still aced all the tests. Very helpful if you don't understand, but will take four classes to go over a single concept. Ask questions, he appreciates it.

Definitely an entertaining prof & a generally easy class. Very helpful if you have trouble understanding the concepts. He does have some trouble staying on topic but for the most part it's more entertaining than frustrating.

Comment:

He's got a very unique personality that makes class fun. He gives you a base program that you write the project on top of, but I think this slowed me down since we don't think the same way. It likely helped me learn to read programs, though. Only problem is the slow pace of the class; class didn't cover as much material as I hoped.

Comment:

Barry is a really great guy, both helpful and understanding of busy student schedules. You get EXACTLY what you put into this class. Sometimes, lesson concepts were very unclear and had to be gone over again. Barry would be a great choice if you have some advanced understanding of the topic ahead of lecture. Good class though.

Comment:

Worst professor I've had here so far. Rushes through the material, all he's worried about is covering everything. The only reason I didn't give him all 1's is because he's willing to help before or after class. Not recommended.

It's been a fun class, and I've learned quite a bit, but I was quite computer saavy before I started. He does seem to get a bit carried away on the computer being a dumb machine lecture.

The text is cheap. The class isn't that hard. The teacher is extremely willing to help after class and during office hours. Definitely an easy class to pass. He's funny and keeps it interesting. Great guy and great teacher! I'd reccommend him.

He might be a little crazy, but he really teaches the material. If you have any questions at all he will definately try to help you as much as he can. The best CS teacher you can get for the lower level classes by far.
