Comment:

C++ class first week: Says, "Look over the first 8 chps and tell me if you have any questions." First test: 2 part (1 essay, the other coding 2 programs in the remaining hour after the first part). You're warned!

Easy A. great guy. Will help you out and take a genuine interest in how well you do. Lectures should not be heard while operating heavy machinery, as they will put you to sleep

Very wonderful teacher. He shows you things at a step by step process, responds to emails quickly, and at the end shows you the various directions you could go from there, i.e. javascript, web design, etc.

Comment:

One of the most friendly and helpful instructors I've had at TCC. He takes a genuine interest in his students and will bend over backwards to help those who need it. His assignments are well done and cover the key topics of the class, and sometimes may be difficult, but he gives plenty of time and offers help multiple times. A+++

Very helpful, insightful, and dedicated instructor. He's very good at explaining C++. Exams are mostly essay style, so make sure you know your notes well. Exams are not hard though, if you study.

Comment:

I'm taking him for C and C++ at the same time. I've had the courses at another school before, but I pretty much had to learn it myself. Mr. Swafford actually teaches it very well. He will help you as much as he can. Even though I have taken these classes before, and making an A before, I still learned a lot from him. I recommend him as professor to

Comment:

Easily the best instructor I've ever had for computer programming. He really doesn't use a book, he writes everything on the board and if you write it all down too, you will be golden. His examples are spot on. His clarity on explaining a subject is second to none. I'm in a C++ class now and really wish I would've waited for Mike's class instead.

Took it online, time consuming but worth it, if you do what your told, you'll be fine, he's not very nit picky, he justs wants you to get an idea of the concept

He is very helpful and nice. You have lecture one day, and lab the other. His test are kinda difficult though. If you are interested in the technology, then you will do good. I was not interested at all, but I made a B.
