Comment:

For Unix, he hands out a sheet with the C/Unix function prototypes that you can use on the test. It isn't a study guide but it will help. If you don't understand him, the man pages help a lot. Just write the commands that he talks about in class and then browse the internet on how to use them. Book was VERY useful but not required.

Comment:

Davis drove me nuts to no end in this class. Personally he is very nice and respectful, but he treated this summer data structure class like a joke. No preparation whatsoever, lectures were full of randoms thoughts and unprepared examples that took up too long and ended nowhere. So disappointed since 3358 is so important.

Comment:

Took this as a summer class. I'd already had data structures at another college and got an A. Pretty much learned the same stuff here. No book, no slides. Take notes. He spent a whole day on fancy Loonix commands and another on random numbers. Both of which of course weren't on the test. Don't take this guy.

Comment:

Prof. Davis has such a wide breadth of knowledge about CS - He's helpful and fair; he makes sure that you learn the material. His tests seem easier than the homework/lab assignments.

Comment:

graphics class is very hard but informative. Great lecturer, but not a great teacher. Treat the graphics class as a math class and not a CS class this make the class easyer to pass. His test are alwas a mistery you never know what the will put on his_test
