This man was my gateway to I/T. It's been 20 years and I still remember him pushing me uphill. Sure he get's it wrong (interpersonally) sometimes but he cares genuinely about his students and his contribution. WAY TO GO MR COIL! (and thank you Sir)

Comment:

Dr. Coil is a great Teacher! While, as mentioned, he is a bit too sympathetic to underperformers, he goes out of his way to help students solve the bugs in their code. I have already registered for two additional programming classes with him. That's how confident I am in his abilities as an instructor,

Comment:

The man expects you read the book and study note cards. Then when you come to class he talks about the things you should already be familiar with, and expects you to be familiar. He also has a good way of singling you out if you are not working to potential, and letting you know that you need to pick it up. Fantastic Teacher.

The guy expects you to have read the book before you come to class. He then works on the things you should have read from the book. Then answers any questions, allows for experimentation, and spends as much time as needed in office to help students. Fantastic teacher. Just have to do work.

People below that gave him awful grades obviously just didn't put in the work. I knew nothing about programming coming into it and got a B. He will definitely challenge you and make you go to the book before answering your question, but I didn't think he was too bad.

Honestly, decent man but doesn't know how to teach. Constantly references Pat Lense who created the subject, doesn't teach the subject himself just makes you watch videos made by Lense. If you need HTML/JavaScript find Lense or someone else.

Comment:

Dr. Coil is always honest about his HTML/JS class being based on another professor: Dr. Pat Lentz; however, I found him to be incredibly helpful with any H/C/JS ?'s. Because of semester conversions he has had to re-engineer the expectations for the coursework itself, and has done well. He is a little too sympathetic with underperformers.

Comment:

I actually had no issue with Bob. I am surprised that he got so many bad reviews. I think its because the class is required by a wide range students, and programming can be kind of difficult starting out. The book for this course is excellent in my opinion, and you can usually find a solution from an example.

Very bad professor, too confusing and when you ask a question, he answers but then you'll have 10 more question to ask OR have the dumb look on your face, like "What did he just say?" .. I dont recommend him

Look at people in the class!Most of them arent programmers and book is written for them, and if you cant keep up with VB-choose different field! he cant make it interesting cuz ppl ask stupid questions so he has to repeat that ridiculous stuff over and over again.Class itself is useless cuz college drags time counting money&Guy cant open as teacher

He knows some stuff about programming, but I do not recommend him, because of his style of teaching (that takes forever, and if you know about computers the class is boring) and his style of grading assignments. If you think you can do the all work, you can take him, and skip his classes .

Comment:

This professor does seem to know a thing or two about programming. I had him for Visual BASIC 1. However, I found him to be very opinionated. Meaning, it was his way of programming or the highway. He thought that programming should be done only one way and didn't have much of an open mind to other ways of programming the same task.

If you have never used a computer before he is for you. He is the worst teacher I have ever had and I pray to god for the power to make it through his 2.5 hour class twice a week. Do not take him!

Lacks good communication skills and he teaches tech subjects where you have to be able to communicate concepts as well as "how to". He's not good at either. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

Comment:

this man must be crazy!! terrible teaching methods, very judgmental about how people look or where do they sit in class. He has no clue of what he speaks, confusing to the point that he would pause for couple minutes while talking then move to a completely different subject. Don't take his classes you will hate it.

This guy is clueless and has no idea of what he speaks. I've never in my life met or had worse professor than Robert Coil. Don't take him even if he is the only option, wait for the term after.
