Comment:
In the spring of 1986 when I was taking COBOL with Professor Gary Haggard (who later left that summer to go to Bucknell), Professor Ferguson helped me. He really did not need to. I was very grateful.

Comment:
very good lectures, wrote in large block letters on the board and went slow enough for me to keep up. told an entertaining story almost every class. Ferguson is the best professor I have had at UMO so far.

Expects way to much on tests. You have to be able to write clean code for the test and the questions are written with the most confusing terminology possible.

Very smart teacher...that's all he's got going for him. Cannot convey his ideas and thoughts very well and doesn't provide much assistance in what to expect on exams. Excepts everyone to be able to write a clear and clean program on a exam.

Comment:
Lectures are remarkly dull and there is little continuity between them. Exams are relatively easy - the best way to study is to DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Easy class assuming you have at least a semester of programming behind you.
