Comment:

Mr. G very nice guy, but when I do my homeworks he checks every nuts and bolts if you mess up, I really dont like his grading on the homeworks, first test was easy, 2nd test was a little bit crazy, frank is funny and tries to make it entertaining, and he makes sure you get it which is what I like, but overall is class is a medium to hard

Comment:

Seems to take pride in damaging the confidence of students, always responding with hostility or patronizing pseudo shock. He honestly gets the worst out of students. It's hard to have the confidence to challenge yourself intellectually when you are not comfortable around him. Do not take. Unless you're excellent dealing with confrontation.

Comment:

He's very nice and good professor! If he teaches high-level courses,I would definitely take the course with him! He's always available for help at his office. If you take a note and focus on when he's explaining in the class, then you can do well on the exam. For all assignments, just try to get help from him. He's always willing to help students!

Comment:

Professor is RUDE! Only likes to help the computer geeks. I asked him for help getting started and he ignored me. Then I asked him again and he told me No! I will never take another class that he is teaching. You're better off taking the class online. Graham doesn't teach the textbook does.

Comment:

Professor Franklin is generally a great professor. To pass his class just make sure you pay attention in class and try to read the text book ahead of time. He is also willing to re-teach topics you are expected to know before you enter the class. to get every one along. Overall he is nice, friendly and has a great sense of humor.

Comment:

Hes a cool teacher, very helpful and good sense of humor. Tests are open book, so for the most part an easy class. That said, his projects suck in quality. Half of the project is done for you already, but they are also very unclear and poorly coded. Will not teach you proper coding practices as much as the coding language itself.

Comment:

Professor Graham is a very helpful teacher. He will stop the lecture just to answer one question, even if it takes 20 minutes to answer. He is a light grader (within reason). The textbook is suggested and preferred, but not mandatory. Attend class if you wish to do well. Overall, he's an extremely attentive and beneficial professor to take.

okay heres the bottom line, prof G is an easy teacher who is VERY flexible with grading and classes material. but he is not so great teaching the material he assumes you know everything. its best to read chapters before class starts.

Comment:

Nice friendly approachable guy. Teaches the class like a discussion section. The class might move a little fast for those who don't "get" programming logic, so it is very important to read the textbook as well as the labs. He gives possible extra point questions on every test - and if you average 90+ you can skip the final.

Comment:

My Spring 10' class w/ Prof Graham was my favorite. Listen to his directions carefully and you cannot go wrong. He had the most experience & knowledge out of all my CSC teachers and was a resource for further learning. He taught me a lesson that I'll never forget during an HTML test and I highly respect him for his teaching skill and IT knowledge.

Good professor. Sometimes the material can be be a little confusing at times but he really tries hard to make sure you understand and the tests are based on the textbook. If you read the textbook, then the test are easy and he's not a harsh grader.
