Comment:

He is the nicest man! He tries so hard to keep you interested, unfortunately the subject itself is just incredibly boring. He loves it when you come talk to him outside of class. If you pay attention in class you shouldn't have any trouble getting an A (well you have to study and do your homework too of course). Too bad he's retiring.

Comment:

Probably one of the best profs in the c-s department. Classes are very light in terms of subject matter. He does a very good job of explaining course material and is a very friendly prof. Tests are very straight forward and normally consist of examples already given in class. He's also a pretty funny guy, take classes with him.

A nice guy, and he tries to be funny. Too bad the material is the most boring crap in the world. It is very had to stay awake in this class. Material is a little tough because it is so useless and boring.

Fairly easy class, but the guy's kind of useless and sort of a jerk. Not that willing to help you out if you need it. Makes things more complicated then they have to be.

Comment:

great prof. he's humorous and gets his points across well. He can get a bit boring at times because he tends to dumb down the material a lot, but it does help you understand it a lot more. take him.

Comment:

Pretty good guy, but the class is BORING. As long as you show up and look over the handouts, you should get a good grade and learn quite a bit. That's asking a lot though considering how boring the class is.

Comment:

I always look forward to classes with Headington. He's a very knowledgable guy but always humble and cheery. He will not only explain the course material well, but will also talk about contexts and culture surrounding it. He is easily one of my favorites.

Comment:

Is straight forward with his presentation of material, but it was hard to stay awake in class. He is very laid back and exams have what he says is going to be on them and there isn't much homework.

Reasonable teacher, very boring. Make sure you get enough sleep before going to his class. Goes off in wild directions at times but that is the only way I stayed awake. Tests are almost exclusively from the handouts.

Easy class, taught in a simple way. Likes to talk about random things. If he asks a question and no one answers he'll just wait for someone to say something.

Very boring teacher, many people fall asleep everyday. Likes to go off on tangents. Tests are fairly tough but always similar to previous semesters, most material is also taken right from the handouts.
