When you all have been published as much as Dr. Cates, then you can complain about his "self-described accomplishments." Until then, keep quiet...you'll learn something from this man.

What an arrogant man! Until he learns to focus on things other than himself, it is likely that he will never teach anyone a thing.

He's a brilliant man and knows his stuff. He can be picky but in this field you have to be. You'll learn a lot about technology from him.

I got little out of the class. He did speak a lot about his own experiences, which at times was helpful, at times just bragging. But the class was not what it was billed to be.

I took 2-3 classes w/ Cates and he served as my dissertation advisor. He is dedicated to serving his students and the field. For those who don't "get" Ward, try putting more into it. "It's all about the work," he once said to me -- and

Comment:
Dr. Cates expects quite a bit from his education students, however he is a fair professor. His teachings are clear, and he demonstrates a vast knowledge of current technology usage. He also brings humor into the class as much as possible.

Comment:
His methodologies reflect 1980s character-based interfaces with some attention to today's multimedia implementations. He lays out everything nicely, but talks down to students and speaks endlessly of his self-described accomplishments.
