Comment:

Bill is a nice guy. He's super chatty, and hard to pay attention to at times. He's really chill in terms of letting you turn in things late, but your work better be high quality. He does have a fair curving policy with the quizzes. We never got to see our grades for the final and 2 final projects, but based on our course grades, he was harsh.

Comment:

One of the first professors for my Grad Course, is among those few professors on earth who indeed "Mentor & Guide" the students. With exceptional Knowledge of Computer Science his lectures had a tinge of Multi-Disciplinary concepts like Healthcare, Psychology, Marketing, etc. amalgamated with Technology. ThoughtResearch based exams & assignments.

Comment:

Any class of his will be a departure from your other CS classes. Get ready for a psychological, sociological, management and design centric whallop. You'll feel like material is 'fluffy' until you get toward the end. It's good value despite the right brain loading. I took two classes and they overlapped in material quite a bit.

Great teacher. Teaches by example, examples/stories are interesting. Tests are essay based, but graded fairly. HW is minimal, and mostly involves reading. Concepts described are extremely useful.

Note this review is for CSS 497 (in my case an internship), so there was no teaching involved. He didn't respond to almost any of my emails, but was helpful in setting up my contract and preparing for my presentation. I received an appropriate grade.

Very good professor with real-world knowledge. Uses good textbooks. Lectures are very interesting, and you are given freedom in designing your own project. Fair grader. You will really know networking after his class, which I thought can be very valuable for anyone in the CSS program.

Made an otherwise non-entertaining subject (management) fairly interesting. He is very interested in the learning of his students and will always provide feedback if asked.
