Comment:

He will explain things in class but not give detailed examples and his examples could always be better, youtube videos explain them better than he does. I learned at least 1/4 to 1/3 of C programming through youtube. He will give hard assignments and it leaves you to research for longer than you'd like ( this is my 1st-year, 1st-semester class).

The worst prof I have ever had. He does not explain clearly at all. Labs and assignments are way easier then exams, which are near impossible. When the final grade gets curved up 30%, you can't blame the class of 100+ students.

You cannot understand what he is saying unless you are at the front of the class and even then he teaches in an odd fashion. It was a good thing I studied the course ahead of time before entering, because he tries to use Assembly and Machine code as examples when explaining the language of C. Everyone who is new to programming will have a hard time

You will be teaching yourself this class. Worst professor I've ever had. This is a class to learn how to program. We've been given an sssignment in the 3rd week and still have yet to learn how to program. Never been more stressed out trying to learn programming by myself, reading the textbook.

Very boring in teaching, midterm was not fair, if you do good in project, attend lectures, and do assignments you will get good grade.

If you are taking his class, just use the following mappings and you should work through his accent quite well, actually: coneer -> clear, solar -> software, wiskers -> risks, fishes -> features, conine -> client

Has a strong accent, but teaches very well. He uses illustrative examples, and has alternate explanations for when the first fails. I wish all professors could explain difficult concepts as well as he.
