Comment:
He is a good professor. Teaches you what is required. You cannot expect any spoonfeeding from him. But the concepts will be very clear. You have to do enough coding to build on top of those concepts. I have taken hi 112 in 2000 and still feel I have a learned good things from him.

I really don't know why students hate him so much here. He is helpful and knows his stuff. Sometimes you don't hear what he said but you can always ask him for help. Great class. I recommend this to anyone who wants to do some real-world coding.

Do not take unless he likes you or you are willing to kiss his... Awful teacher, really teaches you nothing. Read a book in a weekend and learn as much as you will with this class over a semester. Avoid at all costs, you have been warned.

Comment:
(CS454, CS595). He is inspirational and communicates effectively. He is a good programmer and has code to show for it; he taught CS595 in DirectX as if he had always known it. minor suggestion - should encourage class / function design docs and critique them instead of only projects due. highly recommended, challenging. --gatoatigrado / ntung.com

Comment:
This teacher is a silent talker. He's a horrible professor because you can't hear him even though I was in the front row. A problem that I had with him was when it came to extra credit assignments, we had to write in a language that wasn't even taught in the class or at Western for that matter.

Comment:
I would not reccomend anybody taking classes with this guy. He doesn't know much but he thinks he is the only who knows everyhing. However his biggest drawback is that he is very sarcastic. His favorite motto "you will get E for the effort". Whatever question you ask him this is what you get back.

Comment:
This "proffessor" taught like a highschool teacher. He had nothing but destructive comments to make. Had constantly told the class how disappointed he was in the assignment turn out. Assignment completion times were too short. There were only 3 assignments, but the average time was about 12 days.
