Comment:
I will never forget this. He asked me to find Tilde. I remarked, "I don't know who she is". After coming off of a job which developed server technology, advancing us off of perforated paper tape and paper chad which used to grace many parades down Wall Street. RIP Professor

Comment:
Those people that rate him poorly did poorly for a reason. I went to class about half the time, didn't know anything about programming, and yet aced the class easily. He knows a substantial amount about programming and teaches it passionately. A lot of people can program, but only a few can program well.

Comment:
Class was difficult. He knows his stuff and is obviously very interested. He has a hard time answering questions. Also, he asks questions on tests that are beyond anything you've practiced. My mom's a calculus professor and she disagrees with his methods very much. My only B in contrast to my 16 A classes!

Comment:
I had him for ICS 100, and he does know a lot. The best part about this course is if you know how to do everything on the computer, then you don't have to come to class. However, I do come to class anyway. The only part that I don't like is the quizzes because it makes me look stupid, but other than that it's cool. I got an A in his class!

Had him quite awhile ago, before this site existed. Surprise he still keeps his job. I guess HCC is running out of money, they can't afford better teacher. He was using his book, which was garbage. Algorithm is important, but making you write like 50 programs a semester was just ridiculous. I'm in grad school now, still can't forget the torture.
