Comment:

Lazy, He is so late on grading that by the time you get your grade it no longer matters. No input on the grading. When you ask him a question he looks lost as if it is his first time teaching. His answer is always "it's in the book". My question is why then is he in the classroom, to read the powerpoints? Do not take him for any class. UU regret!

Comment:

He is by far the most disorganized professor there is, he doesn't real grade anything, and if you think just the class session is enough to pass, Good luck. He assigns projects every class gathering, which he does not explain on how to do. Only take him if you're fluent in C++, as that is what he expects. TL;DR Lazy, thinks students are masters.

Comment:

Professor Gompertz is amazing. His lectures are clear and he cares about the students. His class is not for lazy people, you have to earn your grade. I earned a B but I worked my tail off for it. He should teach higher level Computer Science courses. Miss the class.

He's so damn boring. He reads right off of the PowerPoint bring a pillow . Everything he has during lectures is also online. You don't have to attend to pass. Be ontop of your my it labs and you'll pass.

Comment:

What can I say? He is the most disorganized professor I have ever seen. You will spend half or your time trying to figure out exactly what he wants. Good luck getting a clear answer over email as well. 75% of the lectures thus far have been videos that are freely available online. He doesn't really seem interested to be there. Lazy professor.

Easiest class. Biggest joke of a teacher. He doesn't seem to know what hes teaching he doesn't really care either and you never need to show up to pass the homework is more than enough to pass the class

Comment:

e just reads the book, use the teachers' exercises and slideshow stuff, and he is just there.Not helpful I should say. Few extra credits. Class is a good one, ask questions and don't wait last minute to do your lab packets. He makes the them due during odd times during the week. Interesting teacher. Is there to help if you ask for it.

He just reads the book, use the teachers' exercises and slideshow stuff, and he is just there.Not helpful I should say. All assignments are from the book, and they are "check". Midterm(100), final(100), and website as a project (200). Few extra credits. Class is a good one but you shouldn't give up on things and be well interested in subject.

Knows his stuff. Class starts easy but get's hard pretty quick. Tends to get off on tangents but usually gets back to the point. Has a very dry sense of humor. Learned a lot!

Read the assigned material and if you are computer literate, you're bound to get a B or an A. Lab assignments are easy with step by step instructions.

Comment:

delivers lectures in a very drab tone, but does cover material pretty well. cracks jokes, but you can't find the punchlines. easy exams + assignments. very lenient on tardiness, absences, and late assignments. if you can stay awake you'll learn a lot.
