Comment:
Bill is a very respected, educated, and acknowledgeable individual in the computer industry. If you live in Chicago, good luck driving to the far campus in Wheaton. Bill will never email you back, even if you talk to him in person there is no communication. Bill should just hire somebody else for him, who can actually run a class and reply back.

Comment:
The instructor makes an already difficult course harder by his archaic teaching methods and ridiculous exams. I would believe that the purpose of going all the way to the Rice campus was to allow student to conduct labs. Students, most times have to endure a 3 hr lecture which is nothing more than listening to the instructor read his slide deck.

Comment:
Great class! The material in this class is up-to-date and applicable to current industry. Prof. Lidinsky is a good teacher but first half of the semester is very hard, after that is easier. Do your HW nicely ( read slides before doing it), prepare you self for hard and tricky Midterm(his review is very helpful).Recommend this teacher and the class!

Comment:
Class is a homework marathon. Professor has a big ego and avg score on midterm is 63. Will not post lecture slides until after class, no syllabus provided, homework NOT graded in timely manner. Professor likes to play stump the chump and exams are all fill in the blank will put questions on exam that no one will be able to answer.

Comment:
Very demanding class. Term long project, midterm, final, weekly homework, labs, multiple presentations and this class is ONLY held in Wheaton, IL and not recorded. Required class. Try to take this class with non-demanding easy classes.

Comment:
Bill does not teach his courses toward current technology or industry trends (as he's supposed to according to the program description). He doesn't teach all of the topics that are listed in the syllabus, thus the student doesn't get a complete education
