Comment:
Never thought I would be one to write a review on a professor, but he got me so heated, I needed to let everyone know. He was the least helpful, least responsive, and most mundane professor I have had yet. The class is based on only 5 or so assignments, which seemed like a good thing, until something is graded incorrectly.

This is the worst teacher I have ever had. On my mamas life do not take his class. The problem isnt even the class its just him. Hes mean and doesnt respond to emails and messes up grades constantly. He should be fired.

Comment:
Montagne is one of the worst and most confusing professors I've ever had. He'll give you a zero on his tests and laugh at you if you don't write the EXACT answer he wants, but at the same time he'll give you a zero IF you right the exact answer he wants for "plagiarism" Projects were tough but manageable but that wont save you. Avoid at all costs.

Comment:
Only has 5 things in the grade book. I've never met a professor that is so unorganized and lost. For our exam some people got different grades for the same answer, for example on a question I got full points on my answer but then I compared answers with someone that got less than half and we had the same answer. Rarely answers emails.

The worst undergrad cs professor at ucf. Pretty sure he rolls a D20 on exam questions and that's your grade. Gl teaching yourself everything. I'm sorry you're here reading this rate my professor page knowing you have to take him because there are no other choices. Make sure you get a partner for the project asap!

Comment:
Terrible but not impossible to pass the class. Exams are based on the lectures so good notes are crucial. You need prior knowledge of MARIE or a motivation to self-teach since his lectures barely taught anything in preparation for the projects. Expects a lot from students and is somehow surprised when he asks a question and nobody answers.

DO NOT take COP3402 with Montagne unless you absolutely need to. Every single assignment will have an error in it, the grading on tests are so unreasonable. Its more of what answer does he want and not whats correct. Theres a reason people avoid everything they do to take this class with him.

Comment:
Professor Montagne isn't the professor I'd take again for another class. He lacks communication, he grades very harshly and this class isn't that easy. Although, he is good when it comes to reviewing and explaining things for the exam, but his teaching methods could be better. He's not the best but he's not the worst. This class is difficult.

Professor Montagne isn't the best professor and isn't the professor I'd recommend someone else take. Harsh on grading and very confusing. Communication with emails aren't the best but they're not the worst. This is a difficult class and whatever you do, you have to work for your grade because this class requires a lot of time.

Must show up to class or lose points. Basically just create and give presentations all semester with one long (20 pages) essay due at the end. Professor is harsh with questions about your presentation but easy on grading.

The content in this class is interesting, however it appears the professor has better things to do than add value to the class as it appears that the TAs teach the class content in an understandable manner while the professor collects his paycheck.

I learned more from doing the project than from the lectures, and if I didn't have a partner in the project I would've been absolutely screwed. Doesn't appear to care for students' success, and really just leaves most of the work involved with the assignments up to the TAs.

Very tough class with a tough professor. He is a very harsh grader, especially on exams. There were 2 exams worth 55% total and it was easy to lose points everywhere. The projects didn't make sense sometimes, but you could work with a partner (I highly recommend that, I went solo and regret it). Lectures are very important as he gives test answers

I am glad I was able to take this online. Grade is based on cumulative programming assignments and 2 exams. Honestly, the programming assignments are not that bad as long as you follow his pseudo code. Exams were okay because they were open note, but if you don't have the EXACT wording that he wants, you will lost a ton of points.

Comment:
Honestly this guy shouldn't be teaching anymore. I've had to teach myself all of the material. The lecture is extremely boring and it is basically him just reading the slides. He is always cancelling office hours or changing the times. The class isn't bad if you are good at teaching yourself. He takes forever to grade things. Just be careful.

Montagne is a very kind person and teacher. Exams and programs are what covered in lectures. No curveball. If you want to pass this class you absolutely have to attend the lectures and write exactly what he write on the board because that is what the tests are based on.

He uses an ancient computer for his zoom lectures, and the only "required" textbook is one he wrote. Technically attendance is not mandatory but if you do not know answers to questions on tests exactly how he addresses them in class you will not get credit. I saw way too many red flags immediately and dropped the class before it could get too bad.

You are graded on a few things and they will take forever to get graded. I went in thinking the worst about this professor so I put in a lot of effort. To my surprise, this class was not as bad as people had described it. The only bad thing (could be) is the partner you choose and the level of understanding you have of the C language for projects.

Stay away from Montagne and any of his classes. He does not care about his students and leaves most of the work for the TAs to handle. I have been at UCF for over 6 semesters and I cannot stress this more: DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. IT IS NOT WORTH IT, YOU WILL LEARN NOTHING AND JUST GIVE YOURSELF STRESS. Stay far away from Montagne.

Comment:
Your grade depends on 4 projects and 2 exams, and everything will take 2+ months to get graded. The exams are graded strictly, but in every lecture he always points out what exam questions he will ask and always gives you the word-for-word answer he will be looking for as the response. The projects are not too hard but are extremely time consuming.
