Clear, helpful professor. Will give you his home number to contact with questions. There is no book for this course, all content comes from his lectures.

Comment:
His pop quizes are really easy, and it's just to make sure you're attending. Free points. If you get mid-B average on tests, but perfect grade on assignments, you'll get an A in the class. Tests aren't hard. Study terms for the first exam, because he wants to know that you listen in class!!

Dr. Dankel is boss. Great teacher with experience and anecdotes from some of the earlier days of CS. Definitely my favorite teacher at UF.

Excellent professor. Communicates the material clearly and has no problem giving thought-out responses to all student questions. Tries to make the class fun and interactive. Quizzes are basically free points, projects are fun if a little difficult, and his tests are challenging but fair. Great TAs too.

I had this professor in 1980 (maybe 1979) his first time teaching! He was great then! The project was a lot of work and he gave a quiz very often.

A very friendly and helpful old man, loves his job and the field of AI. Assignments were easy, tests were take home and classes weren't entirely boring. Project took a lot of time. Tries his best to make the subject appealing.

Comment:
The class was a complete and utter bore! 1/2 the class never came to lecture because he was SO monotonous and boring. Such an interesting topic as AI, and he managed to put 40 people into REM in the first 20 minutes of lecture. He still doesn't realize HOW boring powerpoint-based classes are. He won't reply e-mail! I'm not recommending him anymore.

He is a very good teacher. He will help you understand the material. He chooses his TA very well so that not only they know the material, but also that they can communicate well with students. Highly recommend.

When he says that he sometimes throws pop quizzes, he means EVERY CLASS.
