Comment:

Best professor I have had in 3 years of college so far. He really cares about his students and wants them to succeed. His tests are very easy as long as you studied and he will do anything to help. Homeworks and in class assignments are easy and really help boost grades.

Comment:

Very hypocritical, never clarifies on what he really requires for any assignment. Contradicts the requirements list he gives out prior to assignments sometimes.

Fair, challenging, expansive. Take this professor if you want to be head and shoulders above the competition in the highly competitive modern job market. This one will lead you to greater discovery of the subject studied if you are willing to put in a little extra everything. Great Prof.

Got an A in the class, but that group project was crazy hard. 4 hours with him, most of the time we went well after 10. Just make sure during your 30 page single spaced proposal can be delivered in about 10 mins cause thats all he gave my group... jerk.

Comment:

Seems to be more concern with items that do not add to the learning experience. Why does group work always rank so high in grade importance when it's the hardest to evaluate and effectively implement in the classroom? He likes group work.

Why is he getting all these bad ratings I really liked him. His willingness to cut us a little slack made my transition to college a bit easier.

Comment:

PSU York is so concerned with the quality of their student’s education that they resort to hiring unqualified professors to fulfill certain ‘politically popular quotas’. Avoid this professor like the plague.

Comment:

May very well be the worst prof I have had. To say that he "teaches" would be a huge stretch of the word. I honestly believe he's guessing. Almost every student knows way more than he does about CMPSCI & IT.
