Comment:
"We can cover the topics you as a class want to learn" = I have no plan IMHO he picked the textbook off Amazon without reading it, and was reading it for the first time with the rest of the class. There seemed to be no direction, nor did the syllabus provide any schedule/guide/topics.

Comment:
Selected book based on the author and never looked at it personally it turned out to be more detailed than he wanted to teach the course but he could not give guidance as to what sections the students could blow off. Good teacher but poorly prepared.

Dr. P is really funny and takes the ho-hum out of computers. It helps that he's pretty easy on the eyes, too. He's really fair and really helpful and cares about his students.

Make sure you know exactly what he wants for a program. He usually gives us a program and he dosn't think completely about it and it takes about a week to pound out the facts. It about being prepared. Otherwise he is a great teacher.

Willing to give lots of useful help which is good because I sometimes got lost in his lectures. Go to him if you're having trouble with his programs. He will set you straight.
