Comment:

He has all the knowledge about the subject but has a big problem relaying it to students. He moves fast and fails to cover the material properly. He often has problems with the coding and stumble around without explaining what he is doing. He easily becomes frustrated with novice students and will say that he will go back over it. Then forgets.

Comment:

I take notes during class and asked Troy to repeat something he said. He said "I'll tell you as long as you take your hands off the keyboard." Its like he wants us to fail. Don't take notes on my lecture. Unbelievable.

Comment:

He is the most unorganized and ineffective teacher I have had so far at AIA. He comes in acting like we should already know this stuff. He likes to give out the whole code and work in circles deleting and re-doing stuff in a poor attempt to explain how to write the code.

Comment:

Troy's the best professor in AIA's web department. He's extremely knowledgeable on many subjects and keeps up to date. Many of the reviews here state that he's a tough, and he is. But if you're really passionate about the web, you will succeed and he will most definitely recognize your passion. He's not perfect; but he's damn awesome.

He knows the subject matter but is not very helpful at times. He gets frustrated if students don't understand the concepts right away. He hates to have to go over things again.

Comment:

In earlier classes I really enjoyed him, but the higher up you get in the program, the less prepared he seems for class. He comes in with broken code and spends the whole class trying to fix it, rather than just demonstrating the right way from the begining.

he knows his stuff, and expects everyone else to know it too. Make sure to read in his class and ask questions if not sure. And dont be a smart ass cause he will ignore you, lol, and you will probably fail. Otherwise hes a good teacher.

Comment:

Don't go off on your own and try to expand your knowledge. He claims that is what he wants and he'll take points off if you don't... He truly hates it when his students begin to know more than he does. No sense in trying to avoid his classes, he is one of the only teachers for upper web classes.

Comment:

Has lots of knowledge, but the way he presents is where the problem lays.He will also make you feel "small" when you don't understand something that he does. Overall......... he sucks!!! If you can avoid taking him, do so!!!!!

Comment:

Not an easy class and Troy's knowledge can be overwhelming. He isn't the best at focusing on one topic and one topic only. The lectures veer all over the place. But he is very helpful and genuinely wants the students to succeed.
