Knows the material. Incompetent at teaching. You will need to monitor your grades because he will incorrectly put them in or lose them

Comment:

Pros: Gives a make-up week for assignments not turned in, super flexible with late work, will tutor you himself in his office[try that at tech!], gives study guides for tests, lots of extra credit, open note tests Cons: sometimes has a hard time explaining elementary CSCI material, can be moody

Comment:

For those of you who fail/drop this class shouldn't take comp sci as ur major. i agree he's bad at teaching but if u read the book and ppt, hw and tests are not that hard. and ask him if u have any questions. he's a good man, will answer all of ur questions. i use less than 5hrs per wk to study for this class and i have an a+ rit now.

Comment:

Okay, so I'm taking 6 classes and have an A right now. He isn't very good at speaking to a classroom, but he does have office hours and will help you through whatever problem that you're having with the work. Not a ton of assignments. All in all, I may take him again but he would not be my first choice.

He knows the material but is terrible at teaching. Be prepared to teach yourself from the book.

This class was ahrd but he was very helpful and answered all questions and gives plenty opportunities for extra credit. I would recommend this professor to anyone because he is one of the rare ones who actually cares enough to help you succeed.

Comment:

The subject is complicated and difficult because nothing about the computer is intuitive. He is very good at trying to help you understand something that does not come easy to most. Some just will never understand and few take to it like ducks to water. He is always willing to answer any questions and will try different strategies to explain it.

Comment:

If you hate this class like everyone appears to, and you think it is soooooo hard, you are a moron and probably shouldn't be allowed to touch a computer in the first place. Sure he could do a better job teaching it, but I doubt he realises how computer illiterate most people taking his class are. Im sure more people fail/drop than pass his course

Comment:

His class is by no means easy.I normally make A's and I made a B in this class.I prob invested 12 out of class hrs/week on his class.However, if you read the chapters before class and take notes it is pretty interesting and you'll do fine.

Comment:

There aren't any comments for 1301 so here goes. Only take this guy's class if you have no other classes to worry about. (As you can gather from the other comments.) This guy should be your last choice unless you're really freaking smart in computer science stuff. He doesn't like Java which is what the class is. Assigns lots of work and projects.

This guy is an idiot. He never explains anything and is very unclear when he teaches. He will grade your papers wrong and blame it on his drinking while grading the papers. You are wasting your time in taking this jerk.

Comment:

Worst professor I have ever had at GPC. Expects you to know that he has a folder on the gpc system the first day of class and does not tell you that is where everything important is. Unclear, Hard, Borning, Cold-Hearted, Very little teaching. Implies that
