ahhhh! Very smart guy, knows his stuff inside and out.... But god never meant him to be a teacher, that's for sure. Lectures are super confusing and all over the place. Rarely helpful in the labs, either.

Comment:
Don was a decent teacher. Pretty clear but somewhat boring lectures. Was always happy to help or answer questions in my experience. I found him helpful in reviews. The end of the course he seemed either bored or out of material because he just sat and read from the text the relevant info. He was very handy with tips about linux and other freeware.

Comment:
Don was a horrible instructor and we had so many cancelled classes. He doesn't know the answer to stuff unless its from a text book. He was not very helpful during the labs. He likes to sleep during labs. He didn't really review before finals but played games on his laptop instead of answering questions from the students during a review class.

Comment:
I am glad to see all the ppl harping on Don for this course payed attention at the start. This is a self-guided course. This isn't grade school, he isn't here to hold your hands. I found this course to be excellent, lots of relevant material and real-world style experience, e.g. I had to find the answers myself, not have them spoon-fed to me.

Comment:
I have no idea how or why this guy became an instructor. He seems completely indifferent to whether or not his class is useful or if his students learn anything. Labs are completely disorganized, with no structure or learning goals. This class was a complete waste of my time and money.

This course was a complete waste of my time, only 1 hour of lectures, you could pretty much teach yourself howto build the server you create for this class cause Don either doesnt know or doesnt care, casue when you ask him a question he goes thats cool and leaves. Slept during his guest speaker.

Listen, it isn't that he doesn't know his stuff. It's that he doesn't seem to care. When he teaches (thats a big when), he is fine. But he is late, he sleeps and in my many years of schooling I have not met a teacher who seems more dissinterested than him. I think he is too jaded and needs to retire

One hour of a letures for the whole course, nothing teached or any review material for exams. Never around during labs, had a guest speaker which was interesting to me, but not to Hillman, he was sleeping during the presenation. Also sleeps during the labs.

ok I'm just finishing 272 with this guy... He's always late, doesn't know what the heck he's gonna talk about so makes Al do all the work, the labs never work, sleeps during class and tries to buys the students with icecream after a harsh midterm. His idea of a class is: read pages 1,2,3....800, 801

Smart guy, but, he should NOT be a teacher. Comes to class late, and unprepared. LAZY with a capital "L"... waited until the last day of classed to give us marks on our labs, and missed about half of the labs we handed in. 272 is a mandatory course... beware!

Self paced. Good course to balance heavy load. Math credit for ADARTS. Might be tough if you don't know computers at all. If you do, you don't need to go to class. Watch out for tricky mundane info from text on tests. Do the labs and you're done. Answers emails late, but helps. In person, good help.

Seems like he'd be a hard teacher because he covers so much material so quickly. However, he's a very helpful guy, very smart, and his exams are fair. (not easy, fair!) Labs aren't always prepared properly.

don't understand the negative comments here. Don is a really smart guy, very approachable and will give you all the help you ever want. true he covers a lot of material very quickly, but he allows you lots of freedom in the labs and lets you truly learn
