Comment:

Had Cary for Fractals & Chaotic systems - great prof. Class starts off kind of slow for first week or two, but picks up a little. Never gets too difficult, and there aren't too many homework/programming assignments. +1 for allowing us to do our assignments in any language (as opposed to just javascript, which he uses for examples in class)

Comment:

Easiness level varies-not necessarily correlated to the difficulty of the material. Graphics, not as easy. Advanced Graphics he hands out A's. Overly obsessed with commenting code. Witnessed projects going way beyond scope recieve lesser grades then, what I'd call C at best projects, because they didnt comment a function called multiply.

Unfortunately most of these comments were left by CS120 students, who may or may not be taking further programming courses. If you are interested in CS stuff, Cary is great because he pays so much attention to student needs.

Comment:

Very unlclear expectations. Horrible course layout. Nearly requires you to have had previous experience in computer science. Likes to take points away for very silly reasons.

Comment:

Sometimes knows his stuff, but doesn't know how to teach. Needs to rely less on the PowerPoint, cause it doesn't help matters.
