Comment:
His lectures aren't super engaging but he teaches the material pretty thoroughly. HW gets tough by the end of the semester but the labs are helpful. Exams are super fair and he posts really helpful practice exams and study guides -- if you do the practice exams then you should EASILY pass the real thing.

Hes boring lol. I never went to class cuz I would fall asleep, so if you are like me, GO TO LAB, that's the only place that will really help you. Other than that, people say his tests are light but not really, I think you need to be good at Java to be able to get an A. Final was light tho cuz it was MC.

Prof. Lord is a blessing for students. He is an excellent professor. The Lectures are pretty clear and you will have 5 projects throughout the semester but a bit long. Exams are easy if you study his material. Not a tough grader at all. All he wants to see you are trying. I will take any class with him if he is teaching, no matter what.

It s really hard to fail this class. The projects are worth more than the tests, so do the projects right are you will pass. The tests are mostly based on projects. Although the professor isn't always the best at explaining material, the class is not that hard. As long as you have a good lab professor, which comes a dime a dozen, you will be fine.

Lectures are bit boring but if you have any question he can be easily accessible outside of the class time. Class itself is not that difficult. Exam questions are similar to what he goes over in class.

This class is what CS111 should've been. It's an easy A, but you don't learn anything. I gave a grand total of 7 days of effort all semester for a B+. You don't have to attend lecture or lab, but you should attend the labs that explain the project assignments. 3 exams, all easy.

Even though he wasn't a great lecturer during the semester, bless this man for not changing the way he assign tests and projects back when he was in-person.

If you are coming in with some knowledge of OOP then you can drop the difficulty down to 2. I came from QCC with lots of OOP experience so this class was a breeze. Projects weren't difficult but to take a little bit of time to get through. Lectures can be watched after but are not terribly necessary to pass. Test also not that hard to get through.

nice guy. nothing special in terms of teaching ability but definitely not bad either. I would have gotten a higher grade, but forgot to do the last 2 homeworks. whoops! considering the other options at queens college he is a solid choice.

He's defnitely a decent professor here at QC. His exams are very straightforward. Getting an A or an A+ is very doable in his class. The only thing I can say is that he doesn't curve nor give any extra credit. But his tests are so easy that curving is not necessary. Overall I would recommend him.

Comment:
There's no curve but it's an easy class to get an A in. Four projects that aren't terribly difficult worth 35% of the grade, two exams worth 20% each and the multiple choice final is 25%. Class is pretty dull, just reads off Power Point slides for 20 minutes, opens up for questions and calls it a day. Not the worst at QC but not the best either.

Comment:
So disappointing. He really just teaches the basics and does not prepare you for his exams or future courses at all. You will be learning everything yourself. Lots of challenging projects that count for most of your grade, and 3 exams are given. People wouldn't show up to his lecture bc it was so repetitive and redundant.

Standard, easy OOP in Java class. Projects cover most, but not all concepts learnt in class. Not everything taught is also implemented, which makes it hard to fully comprehend. Tests are very easy, and the final is 40 multiple choice questions. Make sure you get a good lab instructor since you will learn more from them than Professor Lord.

Comment:
The professor teaches from powerpoints slides available on bb. It is 2 exams and one final. He gives for the 2 exams, review exams that help a lot. Final is heavily from the powerpoints and some output problems, not too difficult. There are 5 projects, the first is easy and the other 4 are challenging but with help they are doable.

Take this class if you want to be able to get an A. He gives you the powerpoint slides to study at home and it does come in clutch. Total of 5 projects that lead into each other. 1st test is based on the basic java, 2nd is code heavy and final is multiple choice. Pretty straightforward class.

Easy tests, (final is multiple choice, make sure to go over all the powerpoints before), easy grader. The hardest part is working on the projects on your own, yet if you do so with little help, you are bound to get an A+. Lectures are dull yet sometimes he mentions important things, so try to go as often as possible.

Reads off of his outdated Java powerpoint slides. If you want to go get a job, you will need to reteach yourself Java from square one. 35% of your score is based off of your projects, but if you have a lab instructor that can guide you through them, you will be fine. If not you will struggle just trying to figure out how to code with outdated Java.

Professor Lord was helpful and understanding towards his students' situations, especially if you speak to him during his office hours. Everything you need to pass the class is on Blackboard from his PowerPoints to labs , quizzes to practice exams. I found it quite refreshing. You may not need to show up for the lecture, but it's better if you do.
