Comment:

Class wasnt too bad, hes a strange guy with some funny quirks but the material is straight foward, plus, there was UNLIMITED extra credit. A couple of extra projects, and I left with a 98% in the class! Its worth taking him for that alone.

finley is hilarious, but if you don't have previous programming experience you'd probably have to teach yourself everything because findawg likes to do his own thing...

Comment:

don't take him and expect to learn something, its like in old school, "i think we are all dumber for having listened to that". He is a nice guy but not very together and makes jokes that most geeks even won't laugh at. Easy as 123 homework tho

finely had no idea what he was talking about. his lectures were useless and he often was confused or had to backtrack because he thought something in vb was completly different than it actually was. waste of my time.

Class was complete waste of my time and worthless. C.Finley is an idiot - ignores students during class and lecture for the hell of it. Read your book; and you'll learn more from 4th graders today than from him!

Class is very easy but the teacher goes on and on about nothing. Stay home and read your book. This class is not worth sitting through.
