Comment:
Ol' school mentality. Won't hesitate to say exactly what he thinks especially if he thinks you are not giving your best. Can be very blunt, but fair for the most part. Very knowledgeable and willing to help if you convince him you put int some work and not looking for an easy answer. You will be a better programmer when you complete his class.

One of the hardest prof's you'll ever have. One of the fairest prof's you'll ever have. He's only a pain if you don't do the work

DO NOT TAKE CLASS WITH THIS INSTRUCTOR PERIOD, HE WILL CERTAINLY MAKE YOU CHANGE YOUR MAJOR, UNPROFESSIONAL TEACHER, ASK ANYONE AND THEY WILL TELL YOU THAT HE IS A ROUGH TEACHER. HE IS NOT FRIENDLY, TESTS ARE REALLY TOUGH, MAKES YOU WRITE PROGRAM THE FIRST DAY OF CLASS DUE IN COUPLE OF DAYS. DO NOT TAKE WITH HIM.

Well, I've changed my mind since last post. Not only has he changed my life, he's changed my major. Stopped calling on me when I had questions. Someone else had to take over and play the "stupid person that actually asked questions." Everyone else is too intimidated by him. Went from "A" to "D" in just two short weeks. Can we say "retirement!"

McGlinn isn't changing my life. He is, however, teaching Java quite well. Put some time into this class and you'll do fine. He's very willing to help students who come to class and put thought into the labs. If you understand variables (the easy kind - from Algebra, remember?), you can get an A with some studying.

Bob is funny and helps students with all sorts of problems (I am getting a job because of him). Get on his "good side" and sit in front. Be the one to say something when he won't reword a question noone understands. Anyone with an Einstein poster is OK by my standards-- rebelliouslemming.com

Sensational educator. Hands down the best at SIU. He loves his job and you can tell he wants you to learn and succeed. Too bad he isn't teaching 435 any more, it was a defining moment in my CS education.

I was .02 points away from an A and he wouldn't give it to me. I highly doubt any professor can test well enough to distinguish .02 points difference between students. Lame.
