Very knowledgable, approachable and funny. Sometimes he'll share flashes of wisdom than only a a man his age can provide. You have to read outside class to keep up with him, or you'll be completly lost in class. Thanks professor Alisor!

One of the few teachers that has a resource page with complementary help. He is always willing to help if you put in the effort and are willing to do the work. Very knowledgeable and likes to challenge his students to understand higher concepts.

I swear to god he has a Motorola 68k chip built into his head. He can look at your code, and immediately knows where you went wrong. He however likes to avoid giving you the answer. Instead he gives you a hint and sends you on your way (great way of teaching mind you. You wont learn any other way). He has very very difficult tests so know your stuf

Freakishly unbelievable. He knows what he is talking about, and he tries to make it as clear as possible. Unfortunately, the class was Assembly Language, so I suspect it went over the heads of a few students. His assignments were challenging, unlike the first semester. I loved trying to come up with solutions for the assignments.

Amazing teacher if you sit at the front. His voice is low, but he will always help you figure out where your code led you astray.

Robert is one hell of a teacher, very NICE person, very helpful, knows what he's saying, yet his midterms and Finals are brutal :), he literally requires a whole application written (client/server) on his finals (so be warned). But I sure did learn alot from him and did have lots of fun. :)

Very nice guy, especially on one-on-one basis. It is hard to stay awake in the lecture, though. Mono-tone, soothing voice. Assignments and tests are brutal. enough said.
