Very good at explanation , he makes you understand topics/concepts clearly. Exams and midterms are fair. For this very hard course, I am lucky I got this Proff , from any other Proff this course is muchmore difficult and complecated.

Comment:
he admitted that this was the first time teaching the course, did not have a good understanding of the material, and was learning alongside us. Therefore, the course was disorganized. basically, he DID NOT teach anything. He would only request us to read the book and held tutorial that had nothing to do with the material we read. Friendly though.

Comment:
Great prof overall, had him for summer and our section of 1022 performed much better than the winter one, first tests were easy , lab exam was a little tougher but written exam was straight forward, the labs were straight but required some thinking (last lab was tough but made it through) Lectures were amazing and a great introduction to Java.

Comment:
The midterm was easy, though the final was hard. We got to bring a cheat sheet for the written part of the tests, so that helped out quite a lot. The labs were mostly easy though the final lab was difficult. His lectures were good, can seem a little bit unclear at times, but the lecture slides were well organized to study from. Overall, solid prof.

Great Prof! Very interactive lectures has he does example programs within lectures to explain how to use code. Really great for people who are new to programming. Slides and lectures clear. Easy tests if you practise from the eChecks in the textbook. Do well throughout the course you will get a great grade.

I found this course and prof really great. Very clear and his slides were extremely helpful. He will explain concepts over and over again. The textbook is used often for tests and quizzes. The exam was extremely challenging, so make sure to do well going into the exam. Great prof!

Course material was very easy, probably difficult to those never before exposed to Java. He's extremely organized, has the best slides. Students from other sections would use them too. Very good at teaching. Faculty should get profs like this to teach 1030.

Comment:
Horrible experience in his class. Has a very strict and inconsistent marking scheme that no one understands and is changed often. When students ask questions, he looks at them and responds in the most arrogant way possible. He doesn't care in helping students succeed. You are own your own in his class. Avoid him and his classes.

Not helpful, not kind, and very very harsh grading, a bit on the unfair side. Unless you already know the material, you will definitely get a mediocre grade.

he doesnt seem to have much interest in his students. When I went to ask him a question, he kind of grinned as if he was asking himself what on earth I was doing there. Apparently Im not the only one who had such an experience... The class average was C which made us retake the course... expect to rely solely on textbook if u have him as profesor

Avoid him if you can. He seems to be a nice guy, but when it comes to grades he will slaughter you.

Breugel was bearable, but the grading is downright cruel. You want a good grade or at least a decent grade that reflects your performance ? Then I'd recommend you take some other section. The materials taught is average but the grading isn't. Up to you to decide. Happy holidays !

Frank is an excellent Prof. I took CSE1020 on Fall 2010 with him. Lab Theory questions comes straight off his lecture notes and programming exams are similar to eChecks. His marking scheme is strict. Make sure you read his lecture notes and do the eChecks regularly, and you should be fine. I ended up with A+. I strongly recommend him.

Frank is an excellent Prof. This was my first CSE course at York and I enjoyed this course a lot. Lab/written exams are fair. Final was very difficult. If you study this course, you can manage a B/B+.

Very Good Prof. I did CSE 1020 with him. His marking is strict, but, he explains clearly everything in the class. Follows the text book (Java by Abstraction) word by word. Try to read his lecture slides and summary of each chapter in book and ALWAYS do the eChecks, and you should be fine. Overall he is a very good prof.
