What a joke!! This professor put zero effort into teaching his online computer class. Little to no clear instructions throughout the entire course. Basically anyone who takes this class is self teaching. Also, very slow at responding to emails.

Comment:

I mean obviously he is good at computer science but when it comes to teaching absolutely horrible. I am sooooo scared like seriously, I know that I am going to fail and that my GPA will be so messed up due to a professor that doesn't care about his students. He does not have grounded communication system with the student outside and within class.

Professor Spector is an excellent Computer Science Professor. Give him a chance. Read the book, do the homework, pay attention in class, and ask questions. The lab assignments and homework will help you prepare for the lab quiz. He is a fair grader and you will have many chances to do well throughout the semester.

Comment:

I took the online class in the Spring, 2018. He is a very good professor and knows his work. When you explain the situation about assignments, he helps you with no problems, and he answers the Email on the same day. He also interested in each student separately and helps in the same way. I highly recommend taking his class.

He was never able to be contacted - and when he would answer it was weeks later. His instructions are not clear, and again seemed bothered when questioned about it. WOULD NOT take him again ever. I had to figure out my own way to pass.

Comment:

Absent. Left the class without a professor for nearly the entirety of the class. Rarely, if ever, responded to emails. No assignments posted for weeks. Wrong dates. Left the entire class struggling to figure out what was due and when. We depended on each other to get through the course. Shameful.

Comment:

Did not post first week of assignments until the second week. Had a syllabus of spring 2017 dates when the class started in fall. Did not respond to any of my emails- replied to other classmates. Found out information from other concerned classmates via email as no one know what was going on. Did not post online assignment until past midterms.

For an intro class, he is a very hard professor because he expects you to know so much even though it was some people's first time being in a computer science class.

Comment:

So I read the reviews on here and was skeptical to take this class. Well, I am so happy I did. My advice - TAKE PROF SPECTOR YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!! Do your homework on time, submit all assignments on time. If you cannot please let him know he will give you time. If you don't understand he will explain to you. Love the weekly jokes as well.

Comment:

Very poor explanations of the material, being that this is an INTRO class, you would expect that he would be willing to work on understanding the base material but he almost ridicules you for asking for help understanding something during class. Short poor explanations at the beginning of class and then the rest of the class is used for lab work.

Comment:

Professor Spector is a mixed bag. I liked that he would share his code online & as long as your lab quiz compiled he would give you a good grade. However he's vauge at explanations, made you feel guilty asking for help, & hard to reach out of class.

Comment:

He expects too much from his students. It was a beginner class and yet he expected us to know everything. He will even make fun of you if you ask too many questions. NOT HELPFUL AT ALL!! and does not respond to your emails either
