Comment:

His class was probably the easiest I've ever had. The hardest part of it is writing a technical paper, but even if you put in minimal effort, you still get an A. You won't learn a lot in that class minus a few fundamentals, but in all fairness, most of the class consists of common-sense writing, anyway. Easy A.

Comment:

He is nice and has some good stories, but class was pretty much pointless. You will have to do assignments out of the text but he usually photo copies the needed pages for you. You won't find out what you got until the semesters over but even then unless you never showed up you should be fine. For an easy A, take him.

Even if you don't try, you'll pass. Chill professor, don't learn much though, not that technical writing is something you were a noob at to begin with though. No tests, just writing assignments and a presentation then done.

I don't really think he teaches do good. he won't explain it the assignments. Get off track quickly. Wants you to solve everything by yourself. Office hours are useless he almost fell asleep when I was there.

Comment:

First, let me say u will need the book, its used alot. Next, there are ALOT of inclass assignments, so u HAVE to come to class. There are also 2 research papers which are critical towards your grade, but if you keep up with the classwork, it shouldnt be too hard. Thers no final, but there is a presentation in place of it. OVERALL EASY CLASS

Comment:

I had him for technical writing. He is nice but he tends to wander off and tell stories. He speaks very quietly. Even though we submitted about 30+ homework documents, he NEVER returned ONE back to us! You DONT know what grade you have or your standing in the class so you dont know what to improve on. However, I did learn a lot and he's a nice guy

Comment:

This teacher is really nice and easy going. I had him for CPSC 321. If you tried a little hard, you will get an A in the class for sure. His tests are straight to point. In addition, he is a very generous grader. He is a funny guy. All CSUF teachers should be nice and easy going like him.

Comment:

Although he is slow at grading, his class is a good one to take. Lectures are boring, but they are specifically directed towards the study guide and the tests. If you at least try to do the work for the class, you can easily obtain an A.

Comment:

Pretty cool guy, lay back. Very helpful in answering questions. Always gave me time to hear out any issues I had. I wouldn't say he is easy, cause a few people didn't actually pass. You just have to show up, do your work and put time into projects that were assigned.

Comment:

Great person with compassion for his students; programming skills have been left on a dusty shelf many, many years ago; lectures are somewhat dry until he talks about his past career in the industry; he's about ready to retire and enjoy his well-earned time away from teaching!

Comment:

We had a big room, and spoke very softly. I had to struggle to hear him. Sometimes get side-tracked with telling life-stories (most of which aren't that interesting)

One of the best at Fullerton. Very caring. Helped me several semesters after I had him. I look online for all professors to get background on them and all I could find on this professor was how much he has helped people.

Comment:

Very easy, very laid back. He hasn't taught in 20 years so beware he may get confused himself. He returns assignments late (if ever) so it's hard to guess how you're doing in the class.
