Hilarious professor just due to his awkward behavior...probably wouldn't have liked him that much had it not been an easier class. He seemed kind of like a jerk.

Comment:

Abraham teaches nothing besides what is in the book. Weekly quizzes are easy but if you don't have the answer 100% perfect you will not get the question right. He is not very personable and does not make exceptions even when warrented. Midterm and Final generally feature the exact same questions as weekly quizzes.

Comment:

Boooooring. I barely ever went to lecture, but I recommend that you go because he mentions random things that'll show up on a midterm. Weekly quizzes were pretty easy-- Everything on the quizzes are in your textbook. He uses a lot of powerpoints. Overall decent guy, cracks a few jokes once in a while. You'll get over his accent in a few weeks.

Easiest A' ever. Just read the chapters and make sure to study like 30 minutes for the finals. Group Presentations are easy with decent work.

Ok, this guy is a jerk. He made students actually cry. He is just super rude and ignorant and does not show any respect to the students. Definitely humiliated a bunch of students right in front of the whole class. Do not take him! UGH!

Linus seems like a very nice guy and he has an awesome accent. My only problem with the course was his reliance on power points. Other than that it was a good course and very easy.

Comment:

The class is kind of interesting, sometimes a bit boring because he repeats stuff so much. Some find the tests to be fairly difficult, but if you go to class and pay attention to the images presented you'll do fine. Expects students to do their required work outside of class!! Overall I'd recommend taking his class if you're interested in visuals.

Comment:

this class was a breeze. Takes attendance for extra credit! He seems like he wants students to do well, so he always gives things for extra points. Tests are a little random and weird. Presentation graded super easily. class puts me in a coma and I still am managing an A. I'd take him again for a nice midafternoon nap while earning 3 credits!

Comment:

He is horrible! Don't listen to people on here that say he is alright because he is the worst teacher I have ever had. He cares nothing about his students and pretty much a jerk when it comes to asking him questions. His test do not accureately measure what you have learned in the class. He is HORRIBLE!

BORING! Got angry at students unnecessarily...spent more time scolding than teaching. Too much emphasis on theories on power point with the lights out.

Comment:

Professor Abraham was out of his element teaching a technical class. His research and training would be better served teaching a "critical analysis of Flash-based Web sites" or a similarly-titled course involving theoretical critique of technical
