Professor Hanna was great. I took computer programming with no prior knowledge of how to do so. Pr. Hanna was excellent at teaching us how to program and the different applications we could use it for. I will definitely be looking to get him in other lectures later on.

Professor Hanna is a really fun professor. He always keeps class interesting and he is hilarious. He really does care about his students and their success. That being said, the tests are straightforward and the class is decently heavy on lab assignments but just stay up on them and you'll be good. I would recommend Professor Hanna to anyone!

Prof. Hanna is an amazing teacher. BUT EGR1400 is the stupidest course I've ever taken. It is divided into 3 different classes (lecture, problem solving, lab) DO NOT TAKE any other course if you're going to take this one. you will have no time to study or do homework for other ones. Trust me.

Comment:

He's a very intelligent and funny professor that I highly recommend. His lectures are entertaining. I found learning C# difficult, but what he covered in lecture helped me out. He likes it when people ask questions during lecture. Don't forget to do the problem solving assignments on time because he doesn't remind you when they are due.

Comment:

Dr. Hanna is a funny, caring and intelligent professor. He makes class enjoyable while also making the content fun to learn. Learning C# may not be the easiest subject, but he makes it so that you can understand what you're doing so when you're doing the labs you don't struggle. Dr. Hanna makes engineering seem like a subject anyone can do.

Dr. Hanna should be at Harvard. Oakland is a clown college for his intelligence. Class is tough but he will make sure you succeed and he has a sense of humor and is easy to talk to if you have a problem. Way toooo smart for this college and it shows.

I cannot say enough about Dr. Hanna. He genuinely cares about his students and his lectures are great. He encourages you to ask questions and he has helped me outside class with my questions about the engineering field. It will be hard to knock him out of my top 5 favorite professors. A good person all around.

Hanna is an all around great professor. He clearly loves to teach and is very knowledgeable. You need to come to class, or you'll fall behind quickly. But if you come to class and pay attention, it should be an easy A. Study for the exams and do the assignments and you'll be fine.

Comment:

Prof Hanna is a swell guy. This class will only seem difficult if you don't attend his lectures, so be sure you attend every lecture. Also, never forget to do the problem-solving assignments, because he doesn't give many reminders in regards to those.

Professor Hanna is an awesome professor! I didn't like programming until I took his class. Professor Hanna is good at explaining topics and answers questions during class. He's friendly and interacts with the class. His exams are tough, so be sure to study hard. Take this class!

Great, funny professor. He dressed up as a wizard for Halloween. I've never coded before, and the class wasn't a huge struggle.

Prof Hanna had a lot of students so it was a little harder to get one on one time. He tries to encourage us to get outside our little network and so there are group projects and extra credit options.
