Comment:

Gee really cares for his students. But that really doesnt help the fact that he cant teach at all. You never fully understand anything in his class because he is so bad at explaining. Even homework assignments, you never really know what you are supposed to be doing. If you ask him a question, he wont answer you 100%.

Comment:

Overall this class is not overly difficult, but Gee is not good at explaining the material. In fact, when you ask him a question, he only ever responds back with another question, which can be very confusing. He also never gets back to you if you send him an email. If you work with people and help each other, the class is not too difficult.

Comment:

If you can look at his comments in a humorous sense then you will be fine in the class. He does answer questions with other questions, but he is very caring when it comes to students understanding the material. He isn't an easy grader, but the information isn't terribly difficult. In the electrical unit the workload lightens a bit than in creo.

Comment:

Great teacher. Is always avaliable to help and tries to find cheesy ways to remember things. One homework assignment a week. A genuinely nice guy. If you pay attention, ask for help, and do your work you'll pretty much get an A. Show up to class because skipping isn't an option.

Comment:

When Mr. Gee instructs, you can tell he genuinely cares for his students. His cheesy obsessions with RC Cola and tented domes only add to the humor he injects into the course. If you are having trouble, he is very available outside of class and is always willing to help. Heck, he even wanders to the quiet lab occasionally to help random students.

His voice is as bad as his teaching. I hope he actually reads these comments and fixes his teaching skills...

Comment:

How would you feel if you asked a question to someone as simple as "How was your day?" and they reply with "How was your day?" It would get annoying in my opinion. Don't ask this professor any question bc we will reply with another question to your question. If you're lucky enough he will answer it wont be but it wont be clear. Avoid this prof.

Very vague in feedback, does not explain things well. Had to use the TA for clarification all the time. Overall, do not recommend.

Comment:

This guy is awful. He talks to you like you're in second grade. He shows up 5-10 mins late 9/10 times, but then wants you to stick around after class to get back graded papers. On our first test he came in 5 mins late, handed back papers for 10 mins, then handed out tests for 5 mins and still expected everyone to complete their test on time!!!!!!!

Comment:

Gee's class is really good for the struggling student, but that wasn't me this semester, so it wasn't so good of an experience. He is a good teacher when he lets his students work, but he gets caught up in helping each and every student and wont let anyone leave until he is ready, even though some days I had everything done within 20-25 mins in.

Comment:

Prof. Gee is an overall good instructor. He provides many, many handouts for your benefit, and often returns homework with surprise extra credit points. He does have a tendency to change assignment guidelines or criteria without notice, and your only way to tell will be to receive notifications from Canvas whenever a change in the course is made.

Comment:

He comes off as weird, he's always smiling at you if you have a problem. If you raise your hand he will look at you and ignore you, then once he feels like answering your question he will answer it with another condescending question and then dips. Did I mention he's weird??

Comment:

Teaches w/analogies that are poorly devised & confusing (even for students who already work in tech it seems). Posts homework w/out telling you what it will be worth (sets value after collecting). Often alters assignments multiple times after assigning. Sometimes changes the grading scale (in your favor) if the whole class struggles with a concept.

Mr. Gee does not relate to students well. His teaching methods are frustrating, as he never seems to know what he's talking about. You'll learn less from him than from other engineering professors.

Comment:

He doesn't know much about programming. Lectures were long and useless. Only beneficial part of the class was the homework. Which is how I learned all the material. Had a B+ in the class before the Common Departmental Final came along. I felt totally and completely unprepared it.

Comment:

Avoid this class if at all possible. He has no clue what he is doing, after completing the course I have yet to see a program he wrote. His lectures are more like rambles where he tries to make dumb comparisons between computer code and real world things. When asked a question he will direct you towards your notes then leave you. DON"T TAKE HIM

Comment:

His lectures are 100% useless. He does not teach anything. I honestly believe he does not even know how to write a program. He treats his students like 3rd graders. He gives a lot of homework with unreasonable requests. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!
