He's totally a good instructor. You can get an A in his class even if you mess up a little bit, just make sure that when you hand in the programs you make, they work. There, you have an A. He'll help you if you have a problem, and he gives the class credit for an exam questions if most everybody missed it. Unless the answer was just OBVIOUS.

Very helpful teacher especially with students who don't have a clue about computers and English is their second language. It was really clear about grading. Gave us reminders about due dates. Really helpful with answering questions, explaining the lessons and helping one on one. Made the class easy and fun.

Andy is great! Lectures are short to average but not boring. He is clear in his presentation and grading. During work time he is very accessible and helps you figure out the answer. He is very patient and kind. He has a great sense of humor as well and creates an enjoyable classroom experience. Though a bit slow to grade assignments.

The class got off to a very fast start as far as the lab assignments from the text book. It was a little confusing to have quizzes on material that was assigned for that same week (or day). There could have been a bit more instruction in the beginning to get acquainted with how the text was going to work with the lab assignments. Thanks Andy!

You lecture for 4 of the 5 class days and the other day is used for Lab time. This is where you produce a working program that runs once finished. The visual basic book is a must have in this class because you work directly from it. The other book is not as important but he doe's test from it too. He wants you to succeed in his class.

Your whole grade seems based off of how well you do the homework, which is videos/quizzes from a third-party site. They are all genuinely impossible to fail, so you're guaranteed a good grade (even if you got c's on midterm + final as i did). He also canceled both tests last-minute and gave no notice until several days after.

Mid-term was harder than the final! Flash cards are very helpful, and a very comprehensive note sheet (front and back) are allowed for exams which in my opinion is MANDATORY. I didn't go to many lectures, but they were available on canvas to see, I think getting an A in this class is totally possible.
