Dr. Manaris is an amazing professor. His lectures are extremely entertaining and interesting. I learned so much in his class, and I had a lot of fun while doing it. Assignments can be tricky, but if you work at it, you'll get it. Dr. Manaris is always willing to help you and give feedback. I definitely recommend that anybody take him.

It's easy to get a good grade in the class. Listen, take notes, read the supplemental texts. There will be a lot of project based work that he'll grade pretty hard, but he is an expert in the field of UI/UX and HCI, so it's expected. Easily could be a professor at a top research institution- appreciate his knowledge in the field.

Really enthusiastic about what he does, and very helpful if you go to office hours. If you put effort into the homework and take good notes in class, then the exams are not very difficult.

Not an easy class but loved it none the less. Manaris is a wonderful teacher, passionate about what he does. You will take many lessons from this class... from big ideas to little ones, the class and professor are top notch, but be prepared to work hard, and spen a lot of time outside of class working to get the most out of this class.

Manaris is a very animated and enthusiastic professor, and he approaches the class with a "what do you want to learn today?" attitude. He can get offtrack and intents for the lecture are unclear at times, but the assignments and work are fun( he allows a lot of personal creativity in assignments). Recommended if you have in interest in the class.

Great class and great professor. Really presents material in understandable way. Just do the assignments and study the lecture notes. He cares about the students and what they want out of a class, not just a boring lecture everyday. Take this class!

Fantastic class. He obviously loves what he does. Always very willing help during office hours. Often starts class with "what do you want to talk about today." Take this course if you aren't a programmer and you find computers interesting.

Always had fun in his class, he makes plenty of jokes. His assignments weren't easy but also weren't impossible. Really enjoyed this class - if he taught PROG221 I would have tried to take his class next semester.

Not as straightforward as I would have liked. A musician, he thinks creatively and is an interesting, entertaining guy. However, as a novice programmer, I needed more direct, both feet on the ground, instruction.

Witty man who knows his stuff, a little confusing at times, but mostly because i've always found computer science confusing. not an incredibly difficult class if you are somewhat dedicated. Manaris will always help if you ask, which is good.

this teacher is hard to understand and wants the student to completely direct the class as far as when due dates should be assigned and even lets the student decide what they want to do that day.

Good teacher. Keeps class fun. Prefers to teach by asking you questions about your questions. Would be a 'great' professor if he offered just a little bit of help to tough problems when you go to him for assistance. Still worth taking....
