I thought Pattis' class prepared me well for future classes but I didn't like Pattis. He is very arrogant and not too helpful.

Comment:
His lecture notes that he posts online suck, and are impossible to read. He's not a very good lecturer; he tends to ramble and say "kind of" way too much. He's a very nitpicky grader of quizzes and exams. His assignments range from insanely boring to interesting. Very helpful outside of class (ie office hours). I've heard he's one of the best 15-200 teachers, though.

Awesome. He's a good teacher, and a very helpful advisor. He's a geek and shows it (which is a positive thing...haha). He's also got a sense of humor.

A very difficult class. Definately go to office hours with Pattis; surprisingly they're incredibly helpful. Make use of him one-on-one often and the homework goes much much easier.

pretty heard but will put in alot of effort to make sure his students understand the material. His assignments are very challenging but very rewarding. rather lenient with grading if you do the work. (make sure you do the work)

I liked this class- difficult (assignments and take-home quizzes took a lot of hours each week) but we learned a lot. If you do the work well though, you'll understand it very well and probably get an A. Also he's not too boring.

The class is hard. Only Carrol is a more difficult 15-100 prof. BUT you WILL ace the final and more than 50% of his class gets As. You don't have to go to class ( I never did) cause he has lecture notes online. You don't need a book =)

He tried to teach us Pattis++ (his own variant of C++) the same way as you would Cobol.

Comment:
The course was way too hard for beginning Java programmers, especially since it's a required course for most of the school. He is also difficult to approach and not that friendly. I really did not enjoy this--take it with someone else if you possible.

Expects a lot; sometimes a challenging class in terms of learning the material and applying/extending it (esp. for rookie programmers). If it's just a requirement, take someone else. If you're moving on in CS, you get a solid understanding and foundation.

Gives students a very solid foundation in programming skills. Lessons are very clear and notes are well organized and easily accessible. Course might be a bit harder but benefits to those intending to pursue further CS courses are well worth the effort.
