Comment:
Dr. Seydel is a great professor. I enjoyed his programming course a lot. As long as you pay attention in class, and practice at home you will do fine. Make sure you have a computer at home that can run Visual Studio. He had a few lectures that were just debugging in which I think a few students were bored, but I found it very interesting.

Ole John is great. He's my favorite professor, and while his lectures are kinda all over the place, if you go deeper than surface level into anything you're taught, you'll do well.

Seydel may seem tough at first, but if you attend a majority of the classes and do the homework/quizzes you are guaranteed to pass. He's a cool and intelligent guy, and is really kind

He always be upset and expect us to know everything first week. Asking questions makes him mad and he will say you should know this by now when he only taught it that week. His finals can vary as one year it was a group project and the next year he just gave us an A cause he was too stressed out. He will try to shame students with homework or quiz.

I found the lecture incredibly hard to follow. Also there were only two tests midterm and final and both were very difficult and pretty much impossible to finish in the given time.

Professor Seydel is a brilliant professor who can seem a bit intimidating at first because he has so much he wants to teach you. He is one of the few professor I can say truly care about their students and wants to see them succeed. I would take Professor Seydels class again any day without question.

RUN AS FAR AS YOU CAN. I am a 4.0 student, and this class is fixing to be my first C. It is the hardest class I have ever taken. He is a genius, but has no idea how to teach. Every test is three hours long and taken online at home with a video camera. He puts you into groups at the beginning of the semester and my whole group dropped but me.

This dude is Tough!! His lectures are insanely boring, he doesn't teach the ridiculous software that only HE uses, and he's kind of a pain in the you know what. don't bother asking for help. Take online at Arkansas state Newport.

Seydel is very knowledgable about what he is teaching. However, he doesn't do a great job at explaining it to students that doesn't know the material. He made our test and quizzes fill in the blank, which were a bit difficult. He offered curves or extra points but our class performance was low so it helped but not as much. Never posted grades!

WORST teacher I have ever had, I have a BS already, going back for a second and I have never seen a person so smart, but without the knowledge of how to teach. Try being able to communicate with other regardless of their knowledge of the subject, in that area he FAILS! The only reason anyone in my class passed is because he give HUGE curves.

Worst lecture prof I have ever had to endure. Has a special website that is password protected instead of using blackboard like everyone else. He wont let you have the power points until after the lecture, which makes note taking somewhat tedious. Take anyone else you can. REALLY.

He is terrible. He's a doctor teaching a entry level course and expects you to know everything or look it up yourself. He makes everything harder than it has to be. He doesn't post grades and doesn't gets angry when you ask questions.I will not take him again.

Literally the worst professor I've had in my life. He stands there and rambles on about God knows what, and then doesn't even know how to do the code or whatever it is he's teaching. He is the most unclear instructor out there, and the tests are NOTHING like what he teaches (if indeed you can say that he taught you anything). Avoid at all costs.

Web-based class. He is always helpful and his quizzes, tests, and homework assignments are not a burden at all. Very good.

Seydel is a very smart professor. He knows his stuff on the subject he teaches. The problem is he doesn't really know how to present it to those that do not know the material. He is readily available for assistance when needed and his response to questions is very fast.
