Comment:

The only reason I made a "C" in this course was because of my lack of dedication (laziness) to the class. The work was fairly decent, I just needed to focus and my focus was not there like it should've been. He is very knowledgeable in his area as a retired HR VP.

-Has a website with useful resources -Doesn't understand python or emails -doesn't require attendance if work is done -gives a lot of time to do assignments (almost a month per assignment) -uses strange terminology -sometimes isn't clear on expectations. -overall easy class, but professor makes it slightly more frustrating.

Comment:

Love this professor! He'll let you skip lab if you don't need the help. The exams are essentially just taken from the book or practice exercises with a bit of rewording, so they are very easy to pass. However, if you aren't a fan of learning outside of class or are used to very structured lectures, you probably wouldn't like how he teaches.

Comment:

Dr. Brown is a very kind professor who really cared about teaching students various ways to work the course material. He did a fantastic job at explaining the different syntax and language rules, and if you ever had any issues you could ask for help. He would let you miss lab if you had already completed the current lab or stay to learn more.

He teaches almost of technologies during his class. Just taking class without absent can help your assignments,quizzes, and exams. Also, you can get lots of help if you ask a question in his office time.

He's a really sweet elderly man. His lectures aren't hard to follow. Sometimes it's difficult to stay awake. He's really nice and will help you in any way he can! You can learn a lot in this class if you don't sit back and play video games.

Comment:

This instructor is THE WORST one I have had at TAMU-C. Tests do not align with what he attempts to teach in class. He never has time to tutor, he is just collecting a check, he doesn't help you when you ask a question. Looks at you as if you a stupid when you don't understand. He is a pitiful instructor. DO NOT TAKE HIM!!

Comment:

Bad teacher. His lectures are very unclear simply because he is more of a mumbler than a teacher. His homework's require you to decrypt them. So much jargon that he doesn't teach you and he is never willing to help you. He is always "too busy" to answer your questions and refers you to the tutors. Worst teacher I have had at commerce.

Comment:

This guy is an awful teacher. His lectures are unclear and so are his instructions. You will miss many questions just because you don't understand what he is asking for. You make one small mistake and we will count off an entire point when the rubric is out of 10.

This teacher is a jerk when it comes to asking a question. He does not like when you ask questions and he counts off on the smallest error. He accuse before getting all the facts. He is old school.

Comment:

Tom Brown cares about his students and tries very hard. His classes are a bit too easy, but considering the other CSCI instructors (and the class of student that attends this college), I'd consider him the best. He does have a sense of the real world and one can actually use what is learned in his classes.

Comment:

Very nice teacher, soft spoken, and thorough. He basically does most of the labs for you through examples, all you have to do is change a few words. Quizes were all vocabulary and a pain in the butt, they were the only thing I didn't make a hundred on.

I gave a near perfect score because as a class its easy and Brown is very helpful and will answer any questions you have. However it can get boring, and tedious as he tends to repeat everything over and over and over. I still learned some cool SQL stuff.
