Comment:

Prof was hard to get a hold of, had unrealistic expectations, lacked patience and was unable to clearly explain the complex technical details of the subject matter. Tests and learning materials were also poorly formatted.

Comment:

He comes to classes with programs already written without showing us the code and expects us to know how to do our homework assignments.BEWARE!!! he will obtain your class FCQs after your TA receives them and will read them. If your class was like mine he will receive bad ratings,you will notice a significant drop in grades on your next assignment

Comment:

Likely to be the worst instructor I had at UCD. Incomprehensible shifting views. I don't know why he is allowed to continue that the university. I would avoid at all costs - you should avoid at all costs too.

Comment:

It is a shame for UCD for having this instructor over their. I wish I read here before and I know him before I take a class with him. Do a favor for yourselves and do not take a class with him. As last comment mentioned if you should take any require class with him just go to IS director and ask for replacement class. You can tell him you do not wa

Comment:

Do not take class with him. He is kind of teacher that has no other talent and they teach for living. Just go to dean office and ask for replacement class.Most of the class end up with C, D. F and he has subjective exam and he grade it based on he is like you or not.

Comment:

He has no knowledge about this subject. He has no experience about this topic. He has just experience with his home network. Most of the time seems like he is lost. We had two exams for whole class and he is a though grader. Do not take class with him and if you have no other choice just talk to dean or director and choice another class.

Comment:

Essay exams. He asks a question, but is looking for very specific topics in the answer. SO it is another game of read the teacher?s mind. Cause he takes off points if you do not have those very specific topics in your answer. Even though you answered the question and added a whole bunch of relevant information.

Comment:

Don't even think about taking this guy! I was warned not to and laughed it off. I can't believe that USC would tenure this guy. HE CAN ABSOLUTELY NOT TEACH. His tests are full of Gotcha's. He is arrogant and refuses to admit he is wrong.

Took Knowledge Managment and C from him. He's a pretty nice guy, rode home with him many times on the train. I got A's in his class and he seemed to be pretty organized. I would recommend him.

Grading is horrific. He obviously has some knowledge on the topics but he can't convey to students. Avoid if you can!
