He's really great. You will get out what you put in. If you're trying hard, he will be there to help you out, but if you don't put in the effort you'll receive the same.

Didnt have any tutors to help in the intro class. The programs took as long as a 300 to 400 level course when it was a 100 level class. Wouldnt recommend this professor. He was nice and understanding but this course was honestly a waste of my time.

Dr. Plante is an amazing professor! Plante's class wasn't easy but he made it really fun. Plante really knows how to crack a joke and almost had me on the floor laughing a few times. I truly looked forward to going to his class. Plante cares about each student and will gladly help you if you need it. He also leaves positive comments on your work :)

Comment:

Dr. Plante is a very fun, kind, and understanding guy. However, he is the type to teach you one thing in class and then make the project something adjacent to that that you more or less have to teach yourself to do. This can be difficult, especially at higher level classes, but for 111 it worked for me.

Comment:

It would be nice if he actually included everything he wants in his assignments. I lost several subjective points because I wasn't made aware of the thoughts in his head (not in the assignment description) of how things ought to be. I'm sorry I'm not a mind reader Dan. Grade more fairly.

This is the best professor you can ever have. He cares about each student in the class. His class is so fun and his lectures are light. He really cares about the future of his students and usually gives them helpful skills and projects for the fieldwork. Absolutely the best class I have ever taken in my CS major. I would take him again for sure.

He is very ,nice, energetic, helpful and "always" able to help out with any question you might have, however he is the hardest grader I met and will be satisfied with nothing then perfect code. I am a CS Major who took 3 college programming classes before his class and never got a lower grade then an A-. And I still found his class extremely hard.

Comment:

He has very strong opinions and if you don't conform to them, you won't have a good time. He likes to take the "Make you fail so you can see what you did wrong" approach, which works but also can hurt your grade and self esteem.

Dr. Plante is an excellent professor. I have taking him for multiple classes. He is also my guidance counselor and is very helpful. If you are taking him for any CSCI course be prepared, the class is not going to be easy. Dr. Plante knows his stuff and will help if you need it though!

If you are taking Computer Science courses, you are going to have him no matter what. Lucky for you he is a great teacher and really knows his stuff. He teaches the more practical side of computer science and is an excellent learning tool. Any CS class will be difficult of course, and his are no exception.

He's a great CS professor. He's picky but doesn't sneak in things you're not expecting. Very friendly and makes the class interesting as well.

Comment:

For Pre-Calc, Dr. Plante tried to make this class as painless as possible. Math is definitely not my thing, but he helped in any way he could. The extra credits are what helped bring my grade up to an A-, but you'll be in the Math Clinic a LOT. The class was tough, but Dr. Plante is a great professor.

Comment:

I took his precalc class, and it was horrible. He taught at such an easy level in the classroom, but his worksheets and tests were extremely difficult. This only good thing about this class was the tests were basically taken off the worksheets. If you take his class, be prepared to live in the math clinic.

Dr. Plant is an awesome guy. He uses lots of metaphors to make difficult ideas easier to understand. His CS class he checks to make sure your code is 100% error proof.

Comment:

He needs to stick to research or work in his field. He completely turned me off from the computing field. Knows that he's horrible @ teaching & shows his insecurities while "teaching". I learnt more from the lab techs than I did from him in his class.
