Comment:
My friends and I called this guy King Weird. He wears shorts, showing his hairless legs with a huge scab on his knee. He sits on the table and talks quietly about nonsense. When actually teaching, he will go over the same concept for weeks. It is BORING. The online lecture notes are all you need to pass. He is a nice guy, but the class is terrible.

Pro. Read is okay. His material is sometime confusing and boring, but he is a really nice professor. He sometime let you slide on some of your works, which some professors would never let students do. You do have to think a lot when you are in this class, that for sure!

He is a nice guy, but kind of monotone. If you ask a question he doesn't have the answer. Go to the study sessions if you have questions. If you are looking for an easy class, this would be the teacher to take. If you want to learn, take someone else.

Comment:
I used to be a EECS major a while back, but never graduated. I eventually got a degree in business software and took this class for the hell of it to maintain student aid. What a mistake. Nothing makes any sense, and that's coming from me with almost 8 years in IT, the last two years in full time database software development.

Comment:
If you are into critical thinking, DO NOT take this professor. He does not know the material, he will get upset if you ask him to explain the problem, he will give you a rude response in fron of all fellow students. If you go to his office for help, he will just tell you that he already went over the problem in class.

Attendance in class or lab not required. He goes on and on about nothing and takes forever to teach anything. Could have learned a lot more, but at least it wasn't hard.

Just read through the chapter and go to class occasionally to know when the tests are comming up and do the labs. You WILL get an A, you seriously have to try not to. Lectures are boring but hey...its a programming class. He is helpful when asking questions so if there is something you dont get just ask. Decent teacher and easy load. Take him.

Tends to ramble during lectures about memory this and memory that. Make sure you read the book and do the labs, forget the lecture.

Comment:
Good teacher. A nice contrast to the rest of the largely foreign-born CS faculty. Less demanding, which is nice just to offset the demands of other classes you're taking at the same time. Very overt left-leaning politically, but not too distractingly so.
