Comment:
DO NOT TAKE ANY COURSES WITH HIM. I had ICS-111 with him and am currently in his 211 class and he does not walkthrough any of the homework assignments during lectures, just reads off his Powerpoint. Edo is not beginner friendly. Even if you attend class, you will not know how to complete your assignments. You may want to consider another professor.

Comment:
Taught in Java. He seems knowledgeable but not that good at teaching. I mostly learned on my own. Small quizzes every lecture. Many people left class after the quiz. 600 char summaries on videos due the day before the lecture. No exams, so do good on assignments and start early since they are the bulk of your grade. No extra credit or late work.

Very strict on deadlines, DOES NOT ACCEPT LATE WORK PERIOD. Do not even try to make excuses with him, he will not accept late submissions. NO EXTRA CREDIT OR REDOS. Do good on your summaries 25%, quizzes 25%, and homework assignments 50%. 2 summaries, 2 quizzes per week, 1 homework assignment per week. Lab is optional. TA grades your hw assignment

Comment:
If you have no prior programming experience u may struggle. The difficulty of assignments ramped up quickly for a 111 course and you only have 1 week to finish them. Assignments r worth 50% and you have daily quizzes. Get rdy to learn on your own cuz edo is not much help. Strict deadlines and no extra credit. This course was not beginner friendly.

The homework was extremely hard for an introductory class. We went from hello word in the first week to calculating compound interest on a 10-year car loan by the 4th week. No extra credit, and NO late work at all. The class went from 280 students in the first week to 130 as of now. Seems like a nice guy, but this is a really tough class.

Is not understanding at all when it comes to late work. There are a lot of assignments and make sure you turn them in on time or you will not get credit for anything. Very lecture heavy class and there are long videos that are required to watch on top of the lectures.

Comment:
Dr. Biagioni is a good professor, knows his stuff, and helpful. No textbook for the lecture. There's a workbook for lab. Lab report is intensive & it's due the FOLLOWING day. Highly recommend working as a group to submit ONE lab report. Lab can be long, but interesting & fun. Weekly lab reports & prelabs (60%), quizzes (30%), final exam (10%).

Edo knows his stuff cold. His lectures are a little dry but he is very smart. If you ever have a question, make sure to ask because you can fall behind quickly if you are lost. Book was not used. Attendance is not mandatory but good luck passing without going to class.

If you got through 111 than 211 shouldn't be too hard for you. Edo is an excellent teacher and knows his stuff. He could do a better job with clarifying questions on tests and HW, but other than that great teacher.

Comment:
Edo does his best to get the students to understand the material. Funny how the students who rifle off internet humor and skip class believing they can teach themselves from the book are the same ones ending up bombing the hw and exams. John Wu, the TA, can't provide insight to hw's so lab sessions are pretty much a "do your own hw" period.

Very knowledgeable of the subject. Tries to make it easy for students to understand. Attendance quiz every class. HW comes down to how helpful the TA (Jade Cheng) is, who unfortunately for us was extremely unhelpful. Exams range from theoretical application to some coding. Drop early if you know you won't get the required grade. Class gets harder.
