Very helpful and enthusiastic. If you show a thorough interest in the subject and prove to him you have progressed in the course even after getting a few bad grades, he will be willing to give you a better final grade.

Don't take this class if he is teaching your section! There is no point to him being here, he doesn't teach you anything. I took this class because I wanted to learn PLCs and all I've done so have is hate my life everytime I walk into class.

Awesome instructor, gets to know you well. He's a bajillionaire and only teaches for the fun of it. He's led an interesting life, his stories are pretty cool. Usually his lectures are boring, but he is the most helpful prof ever, always willing to answer questions and give advice. Doesnt like whiny lazy students and will say so.Way better than LESO

Class isn't to bad. The reading sucks though and the lectures aren't the greatest. Mr. Singer is a great guy though and very easy going. Will challenge you some but the class is an easy A or B

This guy is great. Doesn't talk down to you, and seems genuinely interested in people. The lectures are mind-numbingly boring, but in the labs you learn most everything. He is willing to help you as much as you need. Be prepared for long-winded explanations to a simple question though. You should read the book if you want to do well in the class.

Moderately hard class, but do-able. Heck of a guy, though. Helps out with labs. The classroom portion is a snore. The tests are hard. He wants you to do well in the class, and you can tell that only reason he teaches is because he likes it.

Fun class. He offers lots of extra credit with all of his programs and if you're lost just read the book. He's very willing to help you out with your programs. Tests are a little challenging but pay attention in class and read the book if you get lost. For veteran programmers, he offers bonus on the programs and I finished with over 100%.

This class requires alot of time out of class to do work and understand the material. I never went in for help so i dont know about that. If you take this class, be prepared to work hard.

Very good and amusing teacher. He breaks the material down into smaller bits that are easier to understand and will take the time to help you out if you are lost. Very nice guy who smiles all the time. Take his class if you like programming!

What a guy to meet. He is very interesting and has had a crazy life before he became a teacher. He teaches for fun not because he needs money and it shows. He puts in extra time and knows everything about computers. Great guy, Great teacher.

Why teach from the book and not add anything you know? Very useless as a teacher, but knows his material very well.

He was kind of hard to get what he was talking about. Expects you to read & understand the book. Tests are hard. Labs take a lot of time to do, but he really helps you out and grades pretty easy. Just go to all the classes and labs and youll get a B+.
