This has been and probably will be the easiest teacher you will ever have. If you get the chance- take his class. It has been smooth sailing all the way. He tells you what's going to be on the test- all you have to do is review what he tells you and you'll pass!

Due to the sheer volume of students, and the remedial work, he is understandably bitter and he conserves his few leniencies; the quality of his jokes vary. Do the (very easy) assignments and tests on time otherwise you're probably screwed because he enjoys telling stories of others' failures. He gets a kick out of someone forgetting an online test.

Eisler is a great TEACHER, but I think he's starting to lose his reputation as a great INSTRUCTOR.

Goes at the students pace so everyone would be able to learn something every class. Make sure to check the discussion board before every class because that's where he posts about class cancellations.

Class is easy but you dont learn a whole lot. His video lecture are boring and from the book. If you read something in the book and dont understand his video wont help you because its basically from the book. No detail on what the book is trying to say. Test are hard but curves it. If you need an A hes the class to take.

I stopped watching the video lectures about a month in and elected to read the book and teach myself java via the HW. The HW is generally very easy but it teaches you important OOP concepts. I found his tests to be very easy (they were multi-choice) too, long as you read the sections he told you to and memorized the syntax of all the commands.

Class was easy but did not learn much. Solutions are online and tests were multiple choice. Easy grade but not Java proficient.

Course was a ton of work, assignments were difficult. I dont think he was much of a programmer but as they say, those who cant do... Teach. Assignments helped understand OOP but tests were complete mularkey.

If you're really wanting to learn and get feedback, Mr. Eisler isn't the instructor that you'd want to choose! I've had him for 2 courses and both were extremely disorganized, he constantly went off topic for long periods of time, and the in-class labs turned into nothing more than a hang-out session.
