Comment:
He loves his bees and his farm. He went on tangents about things we were not even supposed to be learning in class. If you do the homework and come to class, it was mostly easy.

Wonderful professor and wonderful person. If you have the option of taking him, do it. If you study, you'll get a B on the tests; if you understand the material, you'll get an A. This guy is the CS chair, owns and maintains his own farm, and still teaches. And is a nice guy and will make class interesting. He is surely a man made of awesome.

One of the most interesting classes I've taken in the department. The labs, though difficult, are a lot of fun. The Jesus-freak thing is irrelevant, never once heard him bring religion into class. I greatly enjoyed this class.

Good teacher, makes class interesting. He is a "jesus-freak", but he doesn't bring that into class at all, thats a seperate issue. Tricky tests. Some fun programs.

I think very highly of this guy as a person as well as a teacher. His exams aren't the easiest in the world, but you'll learn in this class. He's ready and willing to help point a student in the right direction should he/she have any problems.

Nice guy, pretty clear about most stuff, but be careful when studying for tests, the stuff you miss is what's going to be on there, guaranteed. Once I started going to class, I had no problems

Not a bad prof -- if you can put up with a jesus-freak. Basically, if you don't get something, you can hound him until he explains it

Comment:
His lectures are way too vague and seems to get enjoyment out of students not fully understanding the material. Whoever said that, that's funny as hell. He's nice, but what that guy said is somewhat true.
