Comment:

Joe is probably my favorite professor at RIT. He will make you work for your grade, but if you do work for it, you're guaranteed an A. His lectures are incredible and he keeps things interesting and easy to understand. He's very available outside of class for help. Great sense of humor, great lecturer, great professor.

Very thorough with explaining the concepts and giving out assignments. Doesn't let you worry about the marks, just makes sure you understand the concept in detail.

The professor really liked the topic, and the class was easy (a little too easy in my opinion). Class consisted of a mini project each week, as well as discussions and two exams.

Comment:

Evolutionary Algorithms. Class was easy, lectures were pretty interesting for a CS class. No tests, only meaningful projects. You're guaranteed to learn a lot, if you do the work. Geigel is a good lecturer, and tries to spice things up with videos, guest speakers, etc.

Extremely nice professor. Good structure and layout of the class. Will guide you toward an answer but not outright explain each step. While it may be challenging, it helps with learning the material.

Comment:

Useless professor. The only things I learned in the class were from the textbook and other CS4 professor's slides (so if you have him...make sure you get the book). I ended up going to other non-CS professors for help, because nobody in the department had a clue how to help his students.

Comment:

Useless with CS4. I had to go outside the department for help because he spent an hour staring at my code, then took a cell phone call and left. He's nice but clueless.

Comment:

He's a nice guy and has a very structured class setting (i.e. he lays out what you need to know in PowerPoint presentation notes). He is sometimes unclear and unavailable for questions, but when he is available, he is very approachable.
