Comment:

He's a nice guy and you can tell him jokes. He isn't good at lecturing , only giving a very rough sketch of what we are supposed to be learning. I like that he is passionate about programming and the fact that he is actually receptive to your reasoning. He can be critical though, even when you make tiny mistakes.

Law is a very nice guy, can't say bad things about as a person. His teaching style, however is pretty bad. He often complicates easy concepts and he tends to give homework he doesn't explain or he doesn't teach.

This is one of those courses where I wish I came to ratemyprofessor .com before taking the class. He is a really nice guy and it's hard to talk negatively about him, but he needs to change his teaching style. If Professor Law used more examples and didn't give so many assignments that he doesn't teach how to do the, class wouldn't be too bad.

Comment:

Was not a very good experience. He's a nice guy, but as a teacher he's one of the worst I've had yet. His lectures are confusing. His notes are useless, usually giving you a broken program that he fixes as part of the lecture, if you can follow along. When it comes to labs, he's little help, usually giving you answers that don't make sense.

Does not help students outside of classes. Uses an automated online grading system which is quite harsh. I recommend finding a different professor for this course if you want to learn something.

Comment:

This was a very easy class for me to pass. Everything I needed to know to pass the course was taught in class. Sometimes when I asked him a question about something, he would tell me to figure it out myself, but that actually helped me to learn more than if he just told me the answer. He's usually prompt about posting grades too (homework, tests).

Doesn't teach. Just tells you how to input commands. Doesn't want to explain things. I went into the class with no knowledge of what VB was to include the abbreviation and when I asked what VB was he looked at me like I was an idiot.

Law is one of the worse professors I have ever had, he limits how much a student can learn in his class, and doesn't care that he does it.

He is the worst college professor I have ever had. He teaches nothing and explains nothing. He should not be teaching in college.

This is the worst class I have ever taken. Mr. Law is the worst professor I have ever had. His "teaching methods" are horrible because he doesn't actually teach anything. Do not take this class...

This guy is like-able, but certainly has his flaws. His web class was easy, but he graded assignments at a snails pace. Other students had problems with him, but not me.
