Comment:

Condescending at times. Skims over everything and shows you how to do it without going in depth. He just gives you the answers, which makes it easy to pass, but is not teaching. You have to teach yourself or ask a million questions to even begin to understand. If actually want to learn how to program, take another professor.

Comment:

Java is a mostly self-taught course in general, so dont expect to ace the class from the lectures, hw, and projects by themselves. Dr. Womack is caring and will help you if you ask for it.

Comment:

This class is what you make of it. He really cares about his students and wants them to do well, so if you ask questions he'll spend class answering them and helping with assignments. If not, he'll just read off the PowerPoints. Very heavy workload (as with any IS2033 class). Would recommend.

honestly gives you the answers to the labs etc if you ask him to help you. but you don't learn anything in this class at all all he does is read off the slides word for word and sometimes does examples. not very good at teaching overall

Heres a man who taught the class in a monotone voice but had all the care in the world for his students. I learned a lot about java and gave people a chance to not take the final if you did good on the other exams. The real OG.

Comment:

Disrespectful and pretty condescending to those who asks questions. Skims over material, making it very hard for beginners. He seems to favor those who already know programming. He gets irritated when the class doesn't respond to his comments. Class is easy to pass if you learn on your own but he ends up giving up at the end of the semester anyway

Comment:

Relies only on the lecture notes he provides rather than engaging with the students. The notes are there to aid the student not be a crutch for the. He puts students down. He seems to be emotionally inept. His students do not feel confident to inquire about topics they do not understand. You will find you will have to teach yourself the material.

Comment:

Dr. Womack's class is the best option for beginners. I found it easier to just read the textbook and finish the projects/labs weeks in advance, but, if you're struggling, definitely attend because he does everything in his power to make your life easier (extending deadlines, giving VERY useful reviews before test days etc.)

Bad professor , he fell asleep a couple times because he doesn't teach!! If you are a computer science major and just starting off in programing DO NOT TAKE HIM!! He extends a lot of due dates if you ask him and gave out on extra credit.

Comment:

Class is easy if you know what you are doing for the tests and turn everything on time. He does move due dates around a lot which was really helpful the teacher however was never helpful when I had a question (would always tell me to take my questions to the tutors) and LOVES to call people out during class. Not a very caring teacher in my opinion.

Comment:

Super easy class. Don't see how anyone could fail his class, just do the assignments on time. He accepts no late work. His grading is really lenient and he's always willing to work with students, like moving deadlines over. Not going to lie, some of his lectures are pretty boring, unless you engage in them. Regardless, great professor and EZ class.

Comment:

The classes are just casual discussions about Internet articles related to technology and their societal impacts, and he's very easy on grading the essays. If you actually attend class and complete the assignments, you will get the A.

Comment:

There is a lot of group projcects but that's every AIS class. His lectures are super boring but that's because the class didn't like to participate. I think it's because he was quick to prove them wrong whenever students did try to speak up. Tests are online and open book. Attendance is not mandatory. Easiest AIS class. No in class writing assig.

Dr. Womack is an excellent professor that genuinely cares if you pass. He was always willing to adjust due dates if the class needed more time on an assignment and he will gladly help debug your code. I would highly recommend Dr. Womack for any CS course!

Super easy class! I got 100's on all my assignments. There were a lot of essays but wasn't bad and the topics were interesting. I don't see why anyone couldn't receive an A in this class as long as you turn everything in.

He really doesn't care if you come to class or not, his assignments and tests are online, and they are super easy. If you are looking for an easy A, look no further. He emails you back within a couple of hours if you have questions, definitely take him.

I only went to class like 5 times the whole semester he doesn't care if you go to class, EVERYTHING even tests are online. I finished this class with a 100! He looks up a lot but tries to make you believe in what he does, like robots are good and stuff. He laughs at himself a lot, really sweet guy! If you are in class though bring entertainment.

Comment:

This class was a breeze. Attendance was not mandatory. The only homework was weekly essays. He is very particular about the word limit on the essays. If the word limit is 500 and your essay is 499 words long, he will cut points.
