Comment:
Great professor, knows his stuff and explains things clearly. He refers to the book a lot and expects you to do the reading before his lecture. It helps. 8 quizzes and a final. Final is based off the quizzes. He gives extra credit for attending department seminars.

You must learn on your own. His labs and questions are only difficult because it take to long to figure out what he is asking of you. So confusing. Very hard to get an A in class. However, he is to a mean guy and willing to help anytime you go to his office. Oh, and if you dont know UML learn it before taking him!

Comment:
Botting didn't lecture at all, instead he has you learn the material by reading the entire INSANELY dry and confusing textbook. He knows a whole lot about everything computers and the very few times he did explain a concept himself it made perfect sense, the problem is he RARELY ever did this. In the end I passed but felt like I learned little...

Probably the best CS professor I've had so far, he taught everything well and it didn't even seem like I was learning it. He also has good stories and humor to go with his lectures and has interesting labs. The final got boring, though

Comment:
He was a good professor. During the quarter it didn't feel like I was learning anything but when I took the final I was very surprised at how much I was able to write without referring to notes; I felt like an expert. The only complaint I have is over his jacked up grading scale. I got a C when in any other class it would have been a B.

Dr. Botting continues to be one of the few excellent teachers @ CSUSB. Very creative and innovative in his lectures. He goes right to the point and he does not smears the US or the school as most teachers do, which by the way are paid by US taxpayers. ** Highly recommended for all courses he teaches.

Comment:
IMO Dr. Botting has a different teaching style for 320 (versus 201 and 372). One piece of advice - do as many of the review questions you can and pay attention to the notes on his website. He is still very polite and is willing to help (1 on 1 and with extra credit). Still, 320 isn't a walk in the park.

Ya'll NOT b dissapointed
