Comment:
His Compilers class was extremely difficult. Mark Bailey, PhD, is one of the only professors on campus who "tells it like it is". He gives fantastic, informal, highly coherent, detailed yet simple lectures. He's a tough grader and has high expectations, but he'll help you outside of class if you ask.

Comment:
Although Prof. Bailey's teaching skills are excellent, few students get along with him due to his weak communication skills and inaccessibility. While I don't feel I get along well with him, I learn more in his classes than those of any other professor, and his expectations are reasonable, albeit a bit high, so overall I like him as a professor.

Disagree with his teaching style and humor. Compared to a lot of nice, fair, patient, encouraging and friendly teachers at this institution, Prof. Bailey is quite different.

Comment:
Not very forgiving at first, but willing to work with students if they show interest and ability. Very clear explanations, somewhat arrogant at times but I think he's just trying to be humorous. Make sure you pay close attention when he is teaching and attend class. If you have some grasp of logic and do your work you'll do fine.

Comment:
Definitely the toughest teacher I have ever met! Very arrogant but helps if you go to office hours. He tends to make fun of you every day. Very hard class and the tests are impossible. Definitely need to read the textbook or you wont learn. Be afraid...very afraid.

Took secret, lies, digital threats.. would not recommend professor to anyone with a casual interest in comp sci. Class was suppose to serve as a way to bring interest to department, but i ended up regretting my decision to take this class for a very long time.

Comment:
The very definition of "tough love." Classes are DIFFICULT, and he doesn't hold your hand. But if you pay attention, you'll be okay, and if you're truly stuck, he's very helpful in getting you through the course. It's an uphill climb, but you inevitably learn a lot.

Do the work and you will be fine; Remember that you are the student he is the professor and don't try any BS; most students either love him or hate him

Check your BS at the door. He won't fall for it, I promise. Kids, meet your new drill sergeant and surrender your free time, and you'll be transformed into a lean, mean, iron-coding machine.

Tough as nails, and won't suffer for a second of BS. However, far and away the best professor I've had on the Hill.
