Comment:

Dr. Glenn is one of the reasons I decided to continue studying CS. His interest in the subject is contagious & he really motivates you to want to succeed. I highly recommend going to tutoring and office hrs if you are lost in the beginning & have no programming experience.

Comment:

Cool as hell. He puts all class notes online so you can study directly from them, and keeps the class loose and interesting. Some material is a bit tough, but he does a bang-up job explaining it. Homework is easy, and you get a week to do about an hours worth of work, but his tests can be a little rough. Pay attention and you'll do fine.

BestTeacher I've ever had. Clear, helpful, and knowledgable. Not the easiest class in the world due to the subject. You'll do fine unless you come to class stoned. He did throw chalk at me on several occasions and threatened to kick out my teeth once.

Comment:

if you don't get an A in this class, you obviously have no grasp of programming and shouldn't have taken it. if you have no programming background but are smart, you'll pick it up, but if you don't put forth effort you won't do well. good, creative prof

Comment:

Glenn is probably the best teacher i had last semester. He helps you and you will learn. You can not just show up and get an A. But if you understand math and are willing to study you'll get at least a B.

Comment:

Assumes student has a strong understanding of C++. DOes do a short introduction to C++, but could walk students through the first couple weeks and give shorter time periods to the students. Projects weren't bad, tests could be tough.

Comment:

A challenging course, but not impossible if you put in the effort. Don't expect to skip out on the work, you'll die I promise. Dr. Glenn sometimes assumes the students know more than we really do, but if you ask him for help on labs or homework he will.

Comment:

Dr. Jimmy has high expectations compared to some other professors but I appreciate that. If you come to class not hungover and focus on what he says and ask for help when you don't understand, you will get a good grade and learn a lot.

GOOD! teacher. He can explains everything he teaches but you have to ask. His very willing to help when it comes to any questions you have about your code. Do the work, finish the labs, and everything is fine.
