Comment:

To say Martin Hardwick is a real gem is an understatement. Not only does he read off of LaPre's slides and use past homeworks, but he also plays Shrek Spooky Stories in the middle of lecture when he gets bored. Labs can be done 1 hour before class starts and quizzes are similar to back tests. If your schedule is rough Martin Hardwick is a must.

Comment:

Database systems is a decent class if you have no experience with mySQL. Lectures are pretty boring and generally not worth attending. The grading for quizzes and homeworks is brutally easy. Free A as long as you do the homeworks and quizzes/exams (you don't even have to do them right. Just write something down and get an A)

He is clear and straight forward in his lectures, while being interested and knowledgeable in the subject. Additionally he is willing and ready to answer specific questions about subject matter, and even listens to reasonable requests for grade reviews.

Comment:

If there's no quiz, don't go to class unless you have a beverage of choice. If you do, drink every time his code doesn't compile. Finish your drink if it compiles on the first time(it never does)...All kidding aside, useless professor, with no knowledge of the subject. If you have good TA's you can be ok...

Comment:

Professor Hardwick has been an inspiration for me. I never realized that being a professor was so easy:Missing semicolons whenever you please; having students debug your software in class; making the TAs do everything for you; strutting around the lecture hall, basking in the admiration of freshmen. I strive to follow in his footsteps of greatness.

Although I found the gist of the course to be less than satisfactory, there's something to be said of Hardwick and his alluring British accent."

Comment:

After going to lectures I knew I would never be able to program. After looking hopelessly at my program that wont compile because it is missing a semicolon, I would frequently debate suicide. Then I would look up and see Haawwwwdwick and instead debate pick up lines. :-D

Bad with technology, often includes coding mistakes into lecture (not on purpose). Not helpful for coding or using as a code reference.

The lectures were practically useless. If you don't have programming experience prior to taking this class, you are in for a tough time.

Seriously cannot teach. He can't even compile a program correctly. His class is a relatively easy A if you memorize the quizzes from the internet early though.

This dude seems like he has no idea what he's doing sometimes. Really awful class. Luckily I took programming before this, otherwise I'd be completely lost. I feel like I didn't get any solid learning from this class.

If you haven't programmed before, this class is awful. It's definitely tailored to people who have had experience programming.

Comment:

He expects beginning programmers to complete between intermediate to hard programming after giving you little to no information during his useless lectures. Evey time he has built a program in front of the class, it has come up with hundreds of errors, and it's usually the class who tells him whats wrong.

Comment:

For someone who was never exposed to C++ before this class, you're in for a living hell. The man cannot teach for his life, and when coupled with his assumptions that you already know what he's teacher, be prepared to receive a lot of low grades. If you're lucky youll get a helpful TA, but most times, they help you just as much as him: very little.
