Comment:

It's been a decade since I took one of Vic's classes and he's still a hero to me. Outstanding teacher who knew the material he was teaching inside and out. Even though it was clear that he knew more about his subject material than any of us could ever hope to have, his answers to questions in the classroom were always direct and succinct.

Amazing educator. I've had him for 5 years now. I've taken almost every course he has offered. 100% all the way. ICC's computer science department will suffer a great loss when he retires.

Vic is pretty amazing. He wrote the freaking textbook, so he knows his stuff. We only had 1 test, and it was a take-home. He only requires 6 programs during the whole year. They don't have to be turned in until the last day of the semester, either. If you wait that long, though, you won't get any help from Vic. Do them as they're assigned.

What can I say? Vic was a big help in my programming career. I've later transferred on to a very elite school of programming (www.digipen.edu) -> but Vic is definitely in caliber with these guys. Study hard and pay attention!! 42!!!

Vic Is the smartes teacher I have ever met, he is very friendly and helpfull. He is kinda funny too in a geeky way. His teaching style is not the best though, he goes over his book that he wrote. But I still recommend him.

This guy knows his programming! At times it's hard to understand what he is talking about, he really gets into the examples and makes sure things are clear. Very efficient programmer.

the guy makes you buy an extra book that he wrote, of course, which turns out to be the notes the he reads verbatim during class. not a bad teacher, but that is pretty sleazy of him to do.

Excellent teacher, most helpful ever, gives assignments that are tough if you don't listen, a breeze if you pay attention. Also probably the smartest person as far as programming that I know. Take if whenever possible.
