Comment:

I was a junior(took all the class around it) taking his class and he said things that he thought was common knowledge and the students literally had no chance know this as freshman. he straight up said less than 9% pass his midterm without corrections which is insane for a course others teach at a much lower level that doesn't require 300 level

Comment:

You have homework every week that are really projects. Gives examples in class they don't work but he gives them anyway. Also found out from a tutor that he really just does his own thing instead of teaching what he's supposed to. All he does are arrays and complex math formulas. Seems to have forgotten about everything else.

I've had this instructor for more then one class. If you can take classes under any other instructor I suggest highly to do so.

Comment:

He doesn't teach. Anyone can buy a book and read it, and taking one quiz a week isn't going to teach anyone anything. There is no lecture that has to do with the course-work, and for a computer science course, he takes off 15-25 points for APA format. Doesn't really make sense, and it is clear that the education system has outgrown him.

Comment:

Fairly easy class if you do the work and do it properly. There are weekly quizzes which require you to type a detailed responses to multiple questions, which does take some time. The biggest problem I faced with the course was maintaining interest in the course and actually doing the work.

Comment:

Rating the class rather than the professor. A "quiz" every week which is 2 essay questions about something in the text can be done in 1hr. Midterm is hard.; over PP notes - you can copy them all into word and cntrl+F the exam question, but not all slides will load in eCollege. 5pg paper 20% grade. Final is like midterm but easier. 710 pretty easy

Comment:

He doesn't help at all, he will not help you with the programs, he assumes that you know everything, no notes to hand out or to even write, all of his "notes" online are from Sandra Sandy Huerter, so confusing hard to understand and in all honesty he is the worse professor do not take this class take unless you want to fail.

Expectations were very clear. Dr. Creider's online set up was extremely organized and well paced for a summer course. He answered questions promptly. Great professor!

Man extemely difficult if you never tooken C++, plus he goes by his own notes in his head. So it makes it hard to study for what is going to be on quizzes and tests

Comment:

He teaches like he expects you to know the material after he states it once. It was clear he didn't want to teach undergrads. I had people helping me in upper levels with the homework that couldn't write out the programs to his standard. If you understand programing & do it for a living or fun he'd probably be ok. Otherwise, good luck.

You have to know some C++ before taking this class. If you know some basic C++ going in, then you will learn a ton in this class. The workload is huge, and if you don't know C++ going in, you will have to work twice as hard. I learned a ton in this class, and if you can handle this class, you can handle working as a programmer.
