Comment:

Course is basically a dry boring slide show; never shows how to design programs; hard to tell if he's knowledgeable; doesn't like anyone who asks questions; he seems a little outdated regarding his technical knowledge and doesn't seem to have a recent moden knowledge of the subject

Comment:

This guy is a waste of money and time! He only showed slides and occasionally scribbled on the board. UNT should have fired him long ago, but instead bad instructors like him are allowed to keep teaching. This is the kind of crap that gets me upset, causing me and others to fail, losing time and money! If this guy meets UNT standards, its a joke!

Comment:

For twice a week classes he only teaches once a week. He assigns projects outside the class to take up the other class. I found this a very convenient way to teach the class.

Comment:

class was scheduled for an hour and 1/2 twice a week. he had us meet once a week for an hour and 1/2 instead, i dont know about other students but i need those lectures. was very technical when giving lectures -- so unless you already know c++ you won't understand him 3/4 of the time. i dropped the course and am now taking this semester with a different teacher - doing very well with it now.
