Comment:

NET I/Visual Basic - Fun class. Homework was easy enough, but many students didn't feel the need to attend class on a regular basis, so for some of the assignments he reworked them to be easier to program so they wouldn't get behind. Students always come first with him. Recommended.

Comment:

*Very* friendly, but realistically you will learn next to nothing of the subject. If you want to learn programming, it's worth going to the main campus to avoid him.

AVOID if you want to learn anything! Nice guy, but does not use a book & teaches less than the basics of a language. You will get an A in the class, but will not have learned much at all.

A likable enough guy, but teaches substandard programming and bad practices. You'd be better off learning via Internet message boards.

Comment:

Avoid like the plague; lackluster performance and enabler of negative behavior. Structure doesn't exist, material is taught in a ridiculous manner. Teaches using basic/c++ at same time. Half the class would be irrelevant since he was teaching the other language. Thought I was crazy when I asked him to recommend a book on C++ since teaching sucked.
