Comment:
Probably the worst professor I've even heard about. He has no interest in "teaching" anyone. Actually told me during office hours after I came to ask for help on one project that I should just change majors. He makes absolutely 0 sense when teaching, bouncing from one topic to the next. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Seems to understand the material, but is really bad at teaching it. Lectures may be BORING but I found they are necessary, as his slides aren't that great. His labs are often confusing, but fairly good learning exercises. Open note, open book tests.

Definitely knows the subject, but doesn't always communicate it well. This class is required for a few different programs, and the students' levels of preparation, talent, and enthusiasm for the course vary widely.

He is an odd teacher but the class was easy if your a computer major. I didn't see him as a horrible teacher however I would find it hard to learn the topics because he just goes threw them real quick and doesnt explain.

Comment:
Honestly the worst human on the face of the earth. He never helps you with anything and thinks that Cobol is the end-all-be-all-answer-to-all-of-the-worlds-problems. You feel slightly dumber after he explaines a concept to you. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE.

This professor was not listed to teach a certain course. Several students walked out of the classroom and dropped after the first class and they realized he was teaching it. By far the worst professor I have ever had in my LIFE. Avoid or be sorry.

Comment:
By far, the most difficult teacher I had during my tenure at NAU. Very ambigious, would never explain anything fully, and related everything back to COBOL as if world hunger could be alleviated if only they could somehow use COBOL to distribute food.
