Comment:

He's a nice guy. Everything was a breeze up until like the last 2 weeks where he threw nodes and classes at us, crazy! There were class assignments that werent graded, ~7 hw worth 10 points each, midterm and final 200 points each so you have to do well on the midterm and final. As long as you keep all your work, you should be fine. Got an A :)

Comment:

Took the hybrid summer class (6 1hr meetings). Minimal hw. Grade is solely based on midterm & final (~50 easy multiple choice questions). Do the study guide & you'll probably get an A (I did). He's really boring but everyone gets a C or above, even if u fail the tests. Take him for an easy grade.

REALLY EASY CLASS IF YOUR READ YOUR TEXTBOOK. Does not grade hw. There was only a mid-term and final, both of which he covers on his powerpoints which are based on the reading. Really chill dude too!

Comment:

Easy class, but VERY boring. He is nice enough but spends a lot of time talking about his past jobs and education. Doesn't take attendance and assigns you a number so he doesn't have to try and pronounce your name. Whatever I learned in this class wasn't from his teachings, rather from what I studied in the textbooks.1 mid 1 final. minimal homework

There are only two test midterm and final. Overall, he is a pretty easy professor. Everything that he lectures in class and what he reviews in class will be on the midterm and final. Over half the class got A's

He teaches well. His test are based on the vocabulary. He curves the midterm and final. He curves the midterm and final.For an A you need a 35/50.

He is a really good professor. I expected computer class to be really hard but when I took his class, it was really easy. Only midterm and final which are easy because most of his test is common sense. Easy A

His class is easy. There are only two test and that is midterm and final. He doesn't test the details of the book. He tests students on the really basic information of the book. He is a really easy A. I barely studied and I got an A in he class.

Comment:

He is kind of a tough professor. But he is really fair to everyone. However, if you struggle with computers and dont have that much computer knowledge I would suggest taking it with someone else. The other professors are harder however you will get more out of it.

It is really hard to communicate with him, but explains everything in the book really well for a teacher. I got a B, but I had a lot of classes. Anyone can get an A.

Take at your risk. He will test you on stuff that is not in his book or lecture. He complains that students dont do well because we dont study. Will laugh in your face if you ask him about a bad grade.

After I took this class, I realized that it was the biggest mistake. Some of the midterms and finals have things that we have not seen before but if you are computer technican then you should take this class.

Comment:

If you are really into computers, you should take this class. His method of teaching is great. However if you like a good grade, look for another teacher. Some of his questions on his mid term and final are not found ANYWHERE IN THE BOOK or in his lecture. He said that he wanted to include these so if you really are into computers take him.

Comment:

The worst teacher I have had in a long time. Class is only midterm and final and quizzes and labs. No points for labs. Quizzes you have to read all the diagrams and all the little prints in order to get the answer right. Quizzes are only 15% of your grade. Overall I would never take this class again.

Comment:

He is quite strict about mistakes, even small ones! Midterm is harder than final exam lol in my opinion. His final exam is from our assignments with a bit manipulation. Strongly recommend that u take cs 2 before this!!! It will help u a lot. Only two tests--midterm and Final. Study an hour for final and still got an A :)!

It's an easy class. He reviews the test a few days before. Everything he reviews is on the test. You don't have to be there everyday. Take him!!
