Comment:

Gave a lot of examples without real clarification as to what they meant. In many cases - applications that you'd write required you to spend hours of google searching to understand what's going on. Course material did not do a good job covering the examples nor prepare you for all of the homework assignments. Class is too easy overall.

Good instructor. Provides good technical/supplemental knowledge. Laid back, fair grader. Book is terrible. End up using more online resources. Intro to Java-fun and challenging.

He provided absolutely no help. His directions weren't clear. Terrible teacher if it's your first time in a subject.

Comment:

He really attacks the comments in code and docs you for trivial things such as not following the instructions to a "t". You must be very attentive for every assignment. Also the worst teacher I've had to this point.

A teacher who loves to teach and knows his subject inside and out. This is not a gimme course, but he is more than fair and an exceptional teacher.
